Talk:Bethayres, Pennsylvania

message: A 1913 map (Upper Moreland Historical Association) shows that Bethayres and Huntingdon Valley were served by separate post offices:  the Bethayres post office was at Fox Chase and Huntingdon Turnpike and Welsh Roads, while the Huntingdon Valley post office was further north at Red Lion Road.  As neither community is incorporated, the boundaries and existence of each is unofficial.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.3.248.239 (talk) 22:04, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania

message: The following paragraph has stood for over a year with "this contemporary map" never having been supplied:
:Visitors today often mistakenly believe that the hill after which Barren Hill was named is that rise in elevation upon which St. Peter's Church sits (on Church Road between Ridge and Germantown Pikes). This is not true, as shown on this contemporary map, drawn by a participant in the Battle of Barren Hill, which identifies "the" Barrenhill as being southwest of the church, probably in the region known today as "Barren Hill Road," a winding, wooded, and treacherous road which connects Lafayette Hill to Conshohocken.
The contribution seems earnest, but the citation of the map begs the question, where's the map? There's been plenty of time (>1 yr) for the anonymous editor to supply it. I was going to rewrite the paragraph to avoid citing the map, but as I thought about how to do that, it essentially comes down to inserting weasel words, e.g., "Some people say that […]" etc. Before I turn it into that, I'd sooner just remove it from the article, and quarantine it here pending a reference or the supplying of "this contemporary map".

thread_title: Quarantine of earnest but unverified paragraph citing phantom map

message: What's interesting about this edit is that it added to the page what is essentially the truth, yet, obviously, we have to revert it because it's POV, unencyclopedic, etc. But this makes me wonder about the (ever-evolving-over-the-decades) cutting edge of what you can't say in our culture. So my open challenge to everyone is to figure out a way that this grain of truth could be represented here (either in the text of this article, or via what other articles this article's text links to) without being just vandalism. Surely there must be other articles that could be linked to besides silver spoon, but I can't think of them at the moment. Hope someone can rise to the challenge.

thread_title: Dead link

message: This page puts forward an argument that Miss Clavel is a nun and not a nurse based on orders that called themselves "Madames" such as that founded by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat. This is a good point, but it is contradicted by Ludwig Bemelman's own grandson, John Bemelmans Marciano, in this article: https://www.npr.org/2013/10/11/230949629/at-75-shes-doing-fine-kids-still-love-their-madeline.
However, Mr Marciano was born some years after his grandfather's death, so his views may not be correct. 
As to the question of why a "nurse" would be working in a Paris Convent school may be begging the question. If Miss Clavel is a nun, then the school may indeed be a convent school, but it may be a normal boarding school and she is their teacher. In this context, it should be remembered that "nurse" could refer to someone looking after younger children, rather like the term "nanny". This, non-medical, use of the term was quite common in the literature of the period. However, the nurse was more concerned with childcare up to around the age of 5. Teaching children was usually the role of a governess. (See the article:Nanny - Wikipedia) I don't know what Bemelmans may have experienced in Austro-Hungary or in Germany, but that may have influenced his writing. 2A00:23C7:57A3:E201:D87C:45E0:AA42:D0C0 (talk) 00:24, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

message: Describing the Infanta's father as having been "stripped of his titles due to his treason" strikes me as very POV, and an egregious example of "history as written by the winners".  Her father perhaps attempted to regain his throne, as many deposed monarchs do, his "treason" was being, like many heriditary monarchs, an attempted absolutist.  This is POV in support of the alternate line of Braganzas and certainly the republican elements, who eventually won, also regarded this as treason, but that is hardly neutral.  Someone needs to word this in a better way, perhaps something like "due to his having been declared a traitor by parliamentary decree."  Someone who is something of a Portugal specialist should at least try.  72.106.155.46 (talk) 00:09, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

2) It doesn't explain what the Abacus is, what it's for, who used it, what it looks like, or anything else of value.

4) The phrase "ancient diagram" (apparently taken from copyrighted sources, e.g., http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Abacus%20harmonicus?r=14), is of little use. Is the diagram no longer valid? And what does "ancient" mean?
This stub doesn't improve Wiki, or serve as a placeholder. It paraphrases something which the author (to all appearances) has no understanding of, serving to confuse the facts, more than anything else.
67.180.48.127 (talk) 03:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why was this article created? 

message: The 1797 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica says under the article "Abacus" that "Abacus Harmonicus is used by Kircher for the structure and disposition of the keys of a musical instrument, whether to be touched with the hands or the feet."
However, looking at Kircher's Musurgia Vniversalis (1650; vol. 1, p. 362), this is not exactly correct. What he describes as Abacus Harmonicus is a table with the title "Tabula mirifica, omnia contrapunctisticae artis arcana revelans." My Latin is rusty (to say the least) but it seems to mean "Wonderful table that reveals all the secret art of counterpoint." So the "Abacus harmonicus" seems to be a table-based method (one element of the table is described as movable) to generate counterpoints.
Does this deserve a Wikipedia entry? Well, one may argue that if it was in the 1797 edition of EB, then it probably belongs in an encyclopedia. Should I correct a 215-year old encyclopedia definition based on my very limited comprehension of Rennaissance era Latin? I don't know. Any comments? vttoth (talk) 02:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
