Talk:William V, Prince of Orange

message: Dear Demophon, how do you know he was the leader of the conservative faction. For a Dutchman that is very strange to read. He was captain-general and highest admiral, stadholder, gave his consent to appointments, but very dependent of the Duke and his wife. He had drinking problems and was very indecisive. In 1785 he wanted to gave up his job, feeling incapable to handle all the problems he was confronted with. The lead is uninteresting.Taksen (talk) 11:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I have moved some material (rewritten and supplied with citations) from the article mentioned in the move-template to the Flight to Britain section. As far as I can see this is all that is usable. So could we please delete the"'Government in exile" article? I have no experience with this kind of thing, so I need some help.--Ereunetes (talk) 22:05, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that most of the usable material has now been moved over - excellent work. My thinking was the the Kew Letters stuff was relevant, as well as the fact that Great Britain recognised the Batavian Republic (as opposed to some alternate exiled republic). Those things have both been moved over so I think you've covered the most critical stuff. I see no reason why Government of the Dutch Republic in exile can not now be deleted. I would say the next step would be to ask an admin to do exactly that and will do so on our behalf if you like. Stalwart111 04:06, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: The lead remains problematic. He was not succeeded in any of his functions by his son, except for the now empty title of Prince of Orange. Whether at any time he claimed any government of the Republic in exile is highly debatable, since it wasn't his in the first place. The Stadtholder was not the sovereign, the General Estates were. He certainly didn't claim anything anymore after the Oranienstein  letters of 1803. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 12:27, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed the language in the lead and added some information. It seems that he was (very briefly) succeeded by his son as the reigning Prince of Nassau-Orange in 1806. A function that the son also occupied in the years from 1813 to 1815. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 01:17, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: He was born as a Prince of Orange-Nassau and as heir to the Principality of Nassau-Orange (for it's sovereign the names were reverted) and as heir to the Stadtholderate of the Dutch Republic. On the death of his father he became Stadtholder, Prince of Orange and reigning Prince of Nassau-Orange. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 01:26, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

I propose tabulating these from my own notes, which have an alphabetical list with a column for hymn books and numbers where the hymn may be found.  These notes are from my preparation for my Church's mid-week meeting.

thread_title:  Post 9-11 Reception 

message: I’ve deleted the reference to Post-9/11 reception as it is warballs; a fatuous reference to the September 11 attacks on the United States  which adds nothing to our understanding or appreciation of this novel. Nor does the source say anything more about the book, so I've deleted that as well.
I’ve also re-worked Sallis’ comments and his quote regarding precautions against urban terrorist bombing, as there’s nothing particularly prescient about it; the book was written in 1957, which predated  the IRA bombing campaigns in the UK during the Troubles (or the OAS campaign in France in the 60s)  but was some 10 years after similar campaigns in Mandatory Palestine after the Second World War and in Algeria in the 50s. And Russell’s embellishment, the use of  fission bombs in such a campaign, was also considered in the 1950s, though it only became widely discussed in the 70s. I trust everyone is OK with that Swanny18 (talk) 21:52, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

message: In the article, Christopher Buckley points to his mother's smoking for sixty-five years as a major cause of her death. In his autobiography "Losing Mum and Pup," he gives numerous instances of her heavy drinking. He portrays her as a functioning alcoholic. Evidently Mrs. Buckley's only child thought of her drinking as significant, so probably this should be included in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Younggoldchip (talk • contribs) 14:09, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:William Wilde

message: The article says that, "in addition to Henry Wilson," Wilde had two illegitimate daughters by earlier liaisons.

:Thanks for your note and good catch on your part. I suspect that the first mention of Henry may have been cut out by a subsequent edit - although the original edit may have contained this mistake.

Talk:Belatucadros

message: "and their low quality and the variant spellings, which might reflect a low standard of literacy" Wrong. This is a fairly common misconception. It wasn't until the 19h Century & the introduction of universal education, which necessitated standard spellings & led to the first dictionary, that "spelling errors" became true; before that, words were commonly spelled as they sounded, even by very learned & literate people. This is, btw, 1 reason the myth of more than one Shakespeare, based on variations of the spelling of his signature, is untenable; spelling was, until the dictionary, extremely idiosyncratic...

message: I haven't made an edit since I defer to someone more knowledgeable / with the right catalogs, but from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London#Governance, the City of London Corporation has their ceremonial and administrative headquarters at Guildford, so where this says "the City Medal struck in 1837 to celebrate Victoria's first visit to the City of London ... and another medal also issued in 1837 commemorating her visit to the Guildhall" then more than likely they are talking about exactly the same event and the same medal. 24.4.216.201 (talk) 05:47, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

message: This article said he was a "die sinker". The article about Peter Wyon says he was "an engraver of medals and coins". Since William apprenticed as with his father I have  edited his father's occupation to say "engraver and die sinker" as a temporary resolution.

message: In response to Dman41689:
First, I resent the accusation of sockpuppetry. A total of three distinct IP addresses have made the claim that the article's subject is deceased, including the user that initially edited the article shortly after Christopher's death in December 2012. Please assume good faith in accordance with Wikipedia policy. 
Second, the Austin-American Statesman is a syndicated newspaper that is more than sufficient for obituary notices. Finally, you will notice that the obituary notice matches the subject of this article on four criteria: 
1) his full name, 
2) his year of birth, 
3) his spouse's name, and 
4) his area of residence. 
Now, on what basis can it be denied that the subject of this article is deceased? What grand conspiracy are you suggesting that involves the implantation of fabricated obituaries in the Austin municipal paper?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.179.39.8 (talk) 21:09, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
