Talk:South County (Rhode Island)

message: I've always been confused by the fact that RIers call Washington County, Rhode Island South County. The Wash. County article clarifies things, but this article seems to exist to refer to the county as a region rather than as a county. Since the borders of the region and the county apparently coincide, why have a stub for South County as a region?
I redired South County and South County, Rhode Island so if we merge this back into Wash. Co. then I'll need to fix that.

Talk:Medieval cuisine

message: In the etiquette part, the article above is linked, and cited as an example. When I read the article about the dogaressa Theodora, it seems there was a confusion with Maria Argyropoulina (and the sources used over there seem to corroborate the confusion, as the princess was unnamed in Peter Damians treatise, making Theodora an implausible subject).

message: Quote from article -- "He was eventually to become the longest serving member in the Upper House."
This is incorrect. Egan served 19 years in the Upper House - I can easily think of other MLC's who served longer. For example, Johno Johnson was an MLC for 25 years (1976-2001).

Talk:Albyric Drummond-Willoughby, 23rd Baron Willoughby de Eresby

message: I photographed this chap's tomb today (see right), and the details on the tombstone contradict those in this article (the dates match, so I'm pretty sure it's the same person). The tombstone reads quite clearly "IN MEMORY OF ALBERIC DRUMMOND WILLOUGHBY, 20TH BARON WILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY, AND 3RD BARON GWYDYR. LORD GREAT CHAMBERLAIN OF ENGLAND. BORN DECEMBER 25TH 1821, DIED AUGUST 26TH 1870, AGED 49." The article spells his name Albyric and lists him as the 23rd Baron Willoughby de Eresby (and also hyphenates his surname). I'm not an expert on the nobility so I don't know which is likely to be correct or how and where to check, but I thought I'd point out the discrepancies. Dave.Dunford (talk) 21:56, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That numbering is probably omitting the suo jure baronesses prior to Priscilla. Lodge's peerage (1832) numbers him as 20th, whereas Cokayne (1898) includes the baronesses and numbers him as 23rd. There seem to be other references numbering him as 21st or 22nd from a quick check of Google Books. Those numbers don't have any sort of official standing—they're essentially a form of disambiguation devised by compilers of peerages—so I think it's best to stick with 23rd as that's consistent with our list of barons. (There are similar issues, IIRC, with the Barons St John of Bletso; the son of the 1st Earl of Bolingbroke sat in Parliament as the 5th Baron, but he predeceased his father and isn't always included in the numbering.)

I have removed the concern about Sousanis' notability for reasons explained in the change.  I will be working to fix the citations and verification issues which were rightly identified in August 2010.
There is one change I plan to make that could be considered major.  Because of his work in the past five years, the fact that Sousanis was the founder and co-editor of thedetroiter.com is no longer the major reason for his notability.  In working on the revision, I would lead with his recent academic work and then include the information currently in the entry later in the article.

Talk:Peter Baldwin (politician)

message: After seeing the docu 'My enemy's enemy', where it was mentioned that many seemingly leftish individuals and organisations were discredited or attacked by the right wing forces of the world, and then reading about Baldwin's horrific attack I wondered whether his so called leftishness might have been the sticking point, not the investigation into organised crime, although these networks often overlap. 
People have been and are still attacked in Latin America for supporting a union or environmentalists. Basically all who seem to oppose the establishment and 'get in the way', face adverse circumstances. Just today I read that environmentalist groups in Britain are infiltrated by undercover men, who take up with the women in these groups and even have children with them. At some stage, probably when they have rendered the group toothless, they disappear without a trace. Since the men  operate under false names, these women (11 at last count) can then no longer find the fathers of their children. This practice is supposed to have gone on since 1968 and this could be one reason why nobody knows what exactly the late Sydney 'businessman' Michael McGurk (assumed name) did back in Britain before he entered Australia on a faked passport. 
We should observe a little more critical. The war against anything perceived as anti-establishment, green, left, social justice seeking etc. is still being fought and the style is like in the best days of the KGB.
