message: A quick google search did not reveal any additional information on Wado Zato. Neiter is he mentioned in the page on the memorial.

I think that the inclusion of Leeland Mooring is pertinent because he is beginning to become popular among some Contemporary Christian Music fans.  It is helpful for fans to look up who he is to find out more about him.  To someone who does not listen to Contemporary Christian Music he may not be notable, but for those who do he is notable.

Talk:Jan Baptist Weenix

message: There is some confusion about the date of death. I changed it from 1660? (which was unsourced) to 6 October 1663, based on the presumably authoritative contemporary Britannica article; EB1911 however did have 1660. This edit reverted it to the previous inconsistent c. 1660 (main body) and 1659 (infobox), based on the death of his widow, buried 6 October 1662 (the municipal burial record does unambiguously say "Weduwe van Jan Batista Weenicx"). The coincidence with the Britannica date is striking. The Dutch Wikipedia, meanwhile, has Spring 1663; Worldcat and LOC have 1659; VIAF has different dates without explanation; Christie's goes for 1659/1661. But I think the safe bet is the Netherlands Biography Portal "vóór (before) 19 november 1663."
I think "between 1660 and 1663", which is DNB's solution, would be the best we could come up with, along with a footnote to sources. Thoughts? David Brooks (talk) 23:37, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

message: The "legend" paragraph is far too anachronistic: the article claims Jesenius predicted Emperor Mathias' death (which happened in 1619, also reported) while in his cellar, where he had been imprisoned after the Protestants' defeat at the Battle of the White Mountain; problem is, such battle took place in 1620 and against the army of Emperor Ferdinand II, Mathias' successor. Furthermore, the article claims that Jesenius was in fact released from his Viennese captivity, as prisoner exchange, only to be then executed in Prague. Was he seized again? When? And why? There is a gap here.

thread_title: New source

message: Wow, this is most comprehensively referenced articles I've seen; that must have taken a ton of work, and I'm very impressed.  Unfortunately, in other areas it doesn't yet meet the good article standard.  I find it goes into a fair bit of unnecessary detail: it's not necessary to state every play Russell appeared in and every bout of illness she experienced.  Try to pick those that are most notable and emphasise them—perhaps organise her less notable performances into a simple table, of which a good example is here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Actors_and_Filmmakers#Filmography.
I also think more information needs to be given to support her notability.  The article says Esmerelda was her most popular performance, but not how popular it was.  Was she a household name at that time, the equivalent of an A-list actor today?
Those are my main concerns.  If you have any questions or would like feedback on any improvements, feel free to ask on my talk page.--jwandersTalk 08:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Before Bentley Hall was searched, she left, walking to Yarmouth posing as a "country wench" and travelled to France. She arrived in Paris in December 1651 and was welcomed by the Court in exile
In the first sentence "Yarmouth" is wikilinked to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. However I question the confidence it is the East Anglian Yarmouth as it would have required a journey almost across England to the coast of Norfolk, whereas Yarmouth, Isle of Wight was closer geographically to where the King had embarked for France. East Anglia was also more staunchly Parliamentarian territory, so a place of questionable safety for a Royalist to flee into.
