Talk:Hoodening

message: I propose merging the following articles into this one and renaming this article the British hooded animal tradition:
* Mari Lwyd
* Láir Bhán
* The Broad (folk custom)
* Old Ball
* Old Tup
* Old Horse
Most of these articles are quite short. The geographic area and time periods they take place in are relatively small and short. The traditions they discuss have many features in common, likely have a common ancestral tradition, and differ only in details (type of animal, time of year, etc.). The combined article could feature a map and/or table comparing them. Vagary (talk) 21:59, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a bad proposal. They are linked only by geography. The Mari Lwyd has its own history and associated culture, and is moreover shaped by and mediated through the Welsh language. The very fact that it is a Welsh-language custom gives it a specificity that makes the proposed merger meaningless if not destructive. To merge the Mari Lwyd with English customs would in effect efface its cultural specificity, which would be a substantial loss, especially in the name of such a superficial geographical link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.113.129 (talk) 08:04, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think I'd support this either. The traditions have distinct regional variations which warrant their own articles. I suspect it is also more likely that readers will search for, say, "Mari Lwyd", than British hooded animal tradition". Then, you've an FA and a GA in there, which will complicate matters. And lastly, I think you should seek the views of  who wrote the two good ones. KJP1 (talk) 08:26, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the ping, KJP1. I would strongly oppose this move. The fact that most of these articles is comparatively short does not matter; two of them are not, and the others can all be lengthened and expanded given sufficient time and attention. Merging them all together would also conceal the geographical and historical specificity of these different traditions. Midnightblueowl (talk) 09:45, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

message: Similar folk custom exists also in Eastern Europe, at least in Romania and Moldavia, where a goat ("capra" in Romanian) is used as hooded animal. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BxSz7fGbGI. Anyway it is hard to distinguish between a wood-made horse and a wood-made goat :) 86.123.11.155 (talk) 03:54, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Erwin Finlay-Freundlich

message: When Freundlich attempted to photograph the stars near the sun during the eclipse of 1914, war broke out in Europe, and, consequently, the Russians arrested him for being a German (with a telescope) spy. History Channel says he spend "a few months" imprisoned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyK5SG9rwWI
This is an important element of Freundlich's life and should be included. There must be information about the episode somewhere. Nehmo (talk) 14:20, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Imprisonment in Crimea 

message: I've read an article at "http://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/24/science/letters-to-a-supporter-record-einstin-s-search-for-proof.html?pagewanted=all" that states in one paragraph...
"In 1918, Dr. Freundlich became Einstein's full-time assistant. After the world war, he raised money to establish the Einstein Observatory in Potsdam, becoming its first director and working alongside Einstein. This proximity accounts for the hiatus in their correspondence through most of the 1920's. When it was resumed briefly in 1931, Einstein was expressing some of his ideas for a theory unifying all the forces of nature, a goal that still defies scientists."
If the photo of the observatory is actually relevant to this article, then I suggest a link to the above quote.

replies: text: My thanks to whoever posted this suggestion - Tuer's "Treatise" on Hornbooks is comprehensive but rambling - it is a gem of amateur enthusiasm over academic rigour but in itself, is the basis for anything going forward.  I have researched other articles as well and made contact with the British Museum and plan to restructure this entry in February, preserving the contributions of those made before and distinguishing this article on Horn-books from the more complete account on Alphabet books.

Talk:Hotch-pot

message: This article and Hotchpot are obvious duplicates. Since the title of this one seems to come from an official encyclopedia, this name seems to be the obvious page to merge to, and Hotchpot should redirect here.
clacke (talk) 11:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I can only speak for US usage, but "hotchpot" is far more common (see, e.g., Black's Law dictionary, 8th ed.). Also, a Google search at first blush seems to suggest they are used roughly equally, 170K for "hotchpot" and 175K for "hotch-pot". Further investigation shows that the two-word version includes the one-word version, which suggests that there are really only 5,000 unique hits for the two-word version. As such, I would suggest the opposite: merging this one into hotchpot. -Rrius (talk) 05:40, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is probable that the word followed the normal course. It probably started as "hotch pot"; by 1911, it was "hotch-pot"; and now it is "hotchpot". That is what happens with most compound words. -Rrius (talk) 05:42, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Having read this article, I'm eager to read Dell now. Ruskin said, "Tell me what you like and I'll tell you what you are." From 1911 to 1939, what British women liked was Ethel M. Dell.

message: She seems to have been very successful with her novels from the mid Twenties but this isn’t mentioned by Wikipedia and most biogs focus on her politics. She earned quote a bit of income from her novels (were they quite racy?!) and seems to have been living the high life in the Twenties, believing in free love etc. so there are revisions needed on Wikipedia. And probably also the literary critique of her novels needs to be updated!

Talk:Eugene Dennis

message: "Though never charged with any act of espionage, Dennis was identified in the Venona project as being a source for Soviet intelligence during World War II, when the United States and Soviet Union were officially allies."
While I appreciate that the above is correct, and that the Red Scare era was a particularly distasteful time in our history, the fact that the U.S. and Soviet Union were "officially allies" during the time of Mr. Dennis alleged (now arguably proven) attempts to provide the Soviets with intelligence does nothing to obviate the fact that his efforts were a crime. Our allies do receive intelligence from our government - I know, because I used to be in the military, and I worked in an office which disseminated selected intelligence data to several allies in the Pacific Command - in my case it was Korea and Australia. However, it is the right of every government to decide which intelligence information is to be shared with one's allies, and which intelligence is to be withheld. When an "operative" takes it upon himself to dole out information without first obtaining that permission, he is committing treason. And this is precisely what Mr. Dennis did. Again... allegedly, but now arguably without question. Thanks. Bigdatut (talk) 17:04, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Highly relevant, authentic and meticulously collected information, from a wide variety of scholarly journals and books, touching upon manifold facets and contributions of Goldziher, has been summarily deleted.
