I also think the reference to "the relatively slow rate of change of classical scholarship" is potentially misleading; classics may move more slowly than physics or medicine, but scholarship published 164 years ago is old by any standard.

Talk:Henry Altemus Company

message: I created this article to support two Gutenberg authoe links, after doing about one hour of web research. I am not the guy who wrote the book whose web site I used as a reference, and I knew nothing of the subject or of that book prior to the start of my research.
This article is stub. If someone has access to the book, please use it to expand the article.Ideally, the author of the book will find and expand this article.
New topic: One way I used to determine "notability" was to search for "Altemus" on Wikipedia. I got many, many hits, citing "Altemus" as the publisher of references in articles. this is (sort of) WP:OR, but it's borderline, so I added a sentence in the article If this is a problem, please discuss.

message: *Weak oppose. I still don't see the evidence for the rename myself - not denying that it may be there, but it is not obvious. Leaving aside the matter of correct Pinyin, the existing format is standard for names in English. Renaming them (to e.g. Xiaogong Empress) implies another meaning other than a personal name for Xiaogong (as in Roman Empress). So what is Xiaogong? a personal name, a dynasty, a reign, a country?  There is a justified meaning (reigns) for the corresponding emperors, but these do not seem to agree with the  empresses. There is a brief suggestion in  Wikipedia:History standards for China-related articles that the correct name for one of these empresses  is Xiaogong Empress Dowager. I suggest that this topic should be discussed in the aforementioned talk page for naming standards before any move here. Imc 09:59, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Spadroon

message: What's a "false edge"?
--Alastair Rae (talk) 15:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: False edges on blades are often found on knives or swords designed for fighting.  One long side of the blade is commonly sharpened for cutting or slashing, of course, but some blades also feature a shorter sharpened edge on the back, or opposite, side of the blade, near the tip.  In practice, while the long sharpened edge of the blade is used primarily to cut or slash an opponent, a false edge also permits the blade to cut when reversing the blade's direction, thereby imparting what is often called a back cut. Back cuts, of course, are possible only when there's a sharpened false edge on the back of the blade, near the tip, for that purpose. Hope that sheds some light on this term.

Talk:Hendry

message: Why does the surname Hendry get mentioned under both clans MacNaughton and Clan Henderson?  How might one find out how/why/when that 'split' occurred in the clanship? - Glen Hendry
Many surnames are associated with multiple clans and often multiple nationalities.  Hendry may be of either Scottish or Irish origin.
Clan MacNaughton claims Pictish King Nechtan mac Derile as its founder, while Clan Henderson claims Nechtan's son Prince Henry (Eanruig Mor mac Righ Nechtan) as its founder.  As such, Clan MacNaughton clams the MacKenricks, Hendersons, and Hendrys as a sept  (Clan MacNaughton at Electric Scotland).  Clan Henderson maintains its independent status as a full clan as confirmed by Lord Lyon King of Arms (Origins of Clan Henderson).  Clan Donald claims both the MacNaughtons and the Hendersons as septs.
The actual historical association of a surname requires some genealogical research.  As in times past, clan affiliation may ultimately come down to a personal choice. - Buaidh 14:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Monastery of Our Lady of Prouille

message: The paragraph on the rosary was inserted too early (I think), even before Dominic's foundation of the convent. I've put it at the end, as a separate section. This may not be the best answer; however, the section wants some work, I think. It says that Prouille is "often" given as the origin of the Rosary: what does "often" mean, and why do some disagree? It says that the vision in 1208 was "reported": by whom, and when, was it reported? What's the earliest source for it?
If there are contemporary sources, then I would agree that this vision should be mentioned in its logical sequence in the history (after, not before, the foundation of the convent). Andrew Dalby 19:39, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the section is fine the way you placed it. It was probably too high up, now that you mentioned it. The rosary connection to Prouille certainly needs to be mentioned, for millions of Catholics believe it to be the location in which St Dominic received the apparition. As for contemporary references I listed two books in print that can be ordered from Amazon.com that both state this as a fact in their view. I said "reported" apparition, because as soon as one says apparition, we enter the world of "apparition debate" whereby you will get 10 physicists who will argue that no apparition can ever take place anyway, and 10 Cathoics that will disagree with the physicists and everyone will argue with each other to no end. Hence one has to say "reported" before all of these visions, etc. to avoid those unnecessary debates that will never be settled. Anyway, in the Catholic world, Prouille is certainly a location of serious significance and the rosary connection should be mentioned. Best History2007 (talk) 22:16, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
