Talk:Walter Stewart, Earl of Atholl

message: Buchanan's version of the execution taken from Google Books History of Scotland is literally as follows:
 
On the first, he was placed upon a 
cart, on which a kind of crane, in the form of a stork, was 
erected, to which he was drawn up by ropes let through 
pulleys, and then suddenly, by loosening the ropes, let fall 
from the height to near the earth, with the most excruciating 
pain from the dislocation of his joints. On the next, he was 
elevated upon a pillory, that he might be conspicuous to all. 
crowned with a red hot crown of iron, and this inscription — 
The king of traitors. The reason of this punishment was that 
Walter had been told by some female witch — for whom Athol 
has always been infamous — That he would be crowned king 
with the greatest celebrity ; and thus the prediction was either 
fulfilled or eluded : and truly such predictions have often sim-
ilar accomplishments. He was then placed upon a hurdle, 
and drawn at a horse tail through the High-street of Edinburgh. 
On the third day, being extended upon a platform 
in a conspicuous place, while yet alive, his intestines were 
taken out, thrown into a fire, and burned before his face ; and 
last of all, his heart was torn away and cast into the same 
fire. His head was then cut off, and, fixed upon a long pole, 
exhibited in the most conspicuous place of the city, and 
his body being divided into four quarters, was distributed 
among the principal cities of the kingdom, to be exposed in 
the most public situations.

Talk:John Drummond, 1st Earl of Melfort

message: The source quoted before the edit on 27/4/2015 says "...an ancient house, built in 1599, in which Lord Castlemain, ambassador from James II. to the pope, is said to have been concealed for some time after the Revolution by a family named Price, to whom he fled for an asylum.". The ambassador to the Vatican was Roger Palmer, 1st Earl of Castlemaine, also a catholic, see this fact in the article, which is supported by citations. Emerald (talk) 10:49, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The confusion between Roger Palmer, 1st Earl of Castlemaine and John Drummond, 1st Earl of Melfort which may have affected other aspects of their biographies. This is understandable because Palmer was Earl of Castlemaine, and Drummond (amongst other titles) was Lord of Castlemains. Both were Roman Catholic aristocrats in the service of James II.  This has confused Wikipedia editors (myself included, see Talk:Llanfyllin#Refuge/Asylum) and may have confused earlier writers. It is suspicious that both men are said to have been ambassadors to Rome or the Vatican. How certain are we of this? Verbcatcher (talk) 16:37, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Among the gems of misinformation there is that "The Charophyta are plants whose stems are either green or grey;..." which presumably excludes most of them, and "The phylum contains only one family, Characeae, with six genera and about two hundred species." which is wrong on so many levels it is difficult to know where to start. Most of the later discussion appears to relate exclusively to the Charales, and thus has a distorted perspective in relation to Embryophyta.

Talk:Patrick Hume, 1st Earl of Marchmont

message: Over at the Canongate Kirkyard article Marchmont is described thus:
* Patrick Hume, 1st Earl of Marchmont (1641–1724) was another Jacobite, a staunch Catholic, and Lord Chancellor of Scotland from 1696 to 1702. During the Jacobite Rising of 1715 he hid from government troops in the vaults of Polwarth Parish Church, where he was fed by his daughter. The tomb in Canongate no longer has a stone monument, as it now forms an eastern entrance to the northern section of the churchyard. The tomb purely carries the name "Marchmont", an inscription placed many years after the original interment, probably at the time of breaking through to the north, and replacing an original monument. Catholicism was still illegal, and, as a resident of the area, Marchmont was entitled to burial within the parish, despite its Protestant affiliations.
This account is totally contradictory to the content of this article. Which is correct? --Mais oui! (talk) 07:15, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Slave (disambiguation)

message: I don't think this disambig links well enough to Slave River, you need to follow the link to Slavey, which is most unlikely unless you know the pronunciation or some other hint, and then from there to Great Slave Lake, which is also not obvious. A direct link to Slave River is required IMO. Possibly a direct link to Great Slave Lake would be in order too. Not quite sure how best to do it. Andrewa 03:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Glad you brought this up -- I had Great Slave Lake in the back of my mind when I moved the entry for "slave" as an alternative spelling of Slavey to the top of the page recently (check the history if you're interested), though it didn't pass muster -- so I'm not really sure how to proceed, either. :) You might want to read  through the two pages I mentioned in my earlier comments (above) and take a stab at it yourself.

My experience as a guide on such tours (years ago) was that the phrase master slave was what stuck in people's minds. High activity handling cell doesn't seem to have the same ring.

Talk:John Maitland, 5th Earl of Lauderdale

message: This article should be moved to either John Lauder, 5th Earl of Lauderdale or to John Maitland, 5th Earl of Lauderdale, depending on which name the subject carried longer or under which he was longer known. The present version (John Lauder or Maitland, 5th Earl of Lauderdale) contradicts the naming conventions. ~~ Phoe talk 09:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Alas, in such biographies everything is not black and white. The Great Seal of Scotland records a charter whereby Charles Maitland, 3rd Earl, received his wife's inheritance of estates "under condition that their heirs take the surname of Lauder and quarter the arms of Lauder of Haltoun and Maitland" which was ratified in 1663. This also appears in the General Index to the Acts of the Parliaments of Scotland, Edinburgh, 1875. John (our subject here) agreed to uphold that when he was personally invested in those estates in 1691. 
Foster's Collectanea Genealogica (London, 1888) refers to: "Sir John Maitland of Ravelrig, 1st Baronet,  assumed the designation of Lauder of Haltoun" and took his seat in parliament as Sir John Lauder in 1685-6, 1689, and 8th September 1696."
I have seen other references to this muddle elsewhere. It is unclear which surname he held for the longest period. What do you do if the periods are equal? David Lauder 09:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it is notable, but if it is, it is notable as a revivalist new religious movement which developed around the 1990s, and as such very different from a potential article on the "traditional beliefs and mythology of the Adi people".  --dab (𒁳) 12:39, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
