message: The article on Afonso V says he was the 12th king of Portugal and the Algarves.  The article on John II says he was the 14th king.  This article says Manuel also was the 14th king.

message: Why use a miniature image from a book to illustrate the article? Are there no contemporary paintings of the king? —capmo (talk) 01:41, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No contemporary portraits exist firstly within the commons and if they exist in reality, they are not widely publicized, whereas the miniature is the only contemporary depiction painted of the king. Thank you, Cristiano Tomás (talk) 03:52, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe I am coming late into this conversation, but there are several paintings of King Manuel I on Wikimedia Commons located at the following link: (:commons:Category:Manuel I of Portugal in paintings). All are quite better representations (with some variation) of the former King. I don't think that the depictions on the article really reflect "contemporary depictions". Since all the paintings are subjective, there is no real definitive interpretation of this historical monarch. ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 03:58, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The only one of those paintings that is contemporary is the family of D. Manuel at the Fons Vitae, and it is not a portrait of the king. All others are part of "royal series" produced centuries later, as large fictitious portrayal collections of paintings of all the kings to that point. The miniature is a contemporary portrayal of the king - simply because it is not a painted portrait doesn't mean its not a valid and good image. It is also a quality image and very well sourced in its pertinence and origin. Thank you, Cristiano Tomás (talk) 09:17, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Also, it was not well written - lots of run-on sentences, and the headings were capitalized incorrectly (WP:HEAD).

Talk:Weeks Act

message: "Responsibility for land purchased through the Weeks Act was not given to former Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot because he resigned in 1907, with the stipulation that he would only resign if he could appoint his successor."
Pinchot remained Chief of the Forest Service until 1910 when he was terminated for insubordination during the Ballinger Controversy. Whoever wrote this may be referring to the Chief Forester's position on the National Forest Reservation Commission--the body given authority to make purchases under the Weeks Act. I can't figure it out because the citation's link is broken. --Student of Conservation History  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.160.77.243 (talk) 21:06, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

3. I added a scientific source for the information I added to the first paragraph.
4. I added content to the final paragraph explaining the benefits to society and the environment that this act has had.
5. I added the name of the president who signed this bill into law.
6. I added the following hyperlinks to this article: William Howard Taft, rivers, headwaters, eastern U.S., US House of Reps, and US Senate.

message: From what I can get from the sources (mostly Billboard), it looks like Love You till Tuesday and Serious Moonlight video were both released in May 1984, but I can't find exact release dates so I can't tell which came first. The video release of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture looks like it happened in August 1984, after both of these. I'm going to leave the chronology with Love You Till Tuesday first for now, since Love You Till Tuesday was the (much) older film and also I understand in some markets Serious Moonlight was released in two parts and the second part didn't come out until fall. If anyone finds exact release dates in a reliable source (like month-day-year), feel free to correct the chrono order if needed. TheBlinkster (talk) 16:39, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Armenians of Romania

message: For the sake of the full understanding of "Armenians in Romania/Moldova" phenomenon one should mention that there are cities, whose first documented mentioning are actually predated by the foundation of Armenian churches. Suceava, if I am not mistaken, comes to mind. If I am not mistaken there is another city in Romania's Moldova (Iasi?), where the local church predates the generally-accepted year of foundation of the medieval principality of Moldavia. These are really worthwhile mentioning.
