message: Querying this sentence in the the section titled "Effects": 
"After this Henry felt compelled to revoke the two controversial clauses, which went against canon law."
What were these two clauses? Presumably this is referencing two clauses from the 16 of the Constitutions, but it's not clear which two from context on the page, nor have I been able to find info elsewhere. Also it's unclear when this happened (at the Assize of Northampton in 1176?). AliceTheArchivist (talk) 14:02, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:England and King David I

message: Understanding this period of history is hampered by the changed meaning of words over time. It is equally hampered by the careless use of words way back then too. Words such as 'The Scots' 'Scotland' 'England' 'the English' and 'King' need to be examined carefully since their meanings are understood differently today than they were hundreds of years ago in the 12th century. 'Scotland' then meant specifically that area of the Highlands home to the Gaelic speaking Scots. The inhabitants of the lowlands and South East were Anglo-Saxon or English but were nominally subjects of the King of the Scots. A 'king' back then may or not have been 'sovereign' since a king could be a subordinate of a 'high king' - which seems to have been David's original relationship to Henry when Henry provided him with a  Norman army with which to invade  and conquer northern Britain on his behalf. Furthermore the idea that there was subsequently a war between 'the 'Scots' and 'the English' seems inadequate to describe a war or wars which were really about two (or three) groups of Britain's competing Norman occupiers fighting each other for power. All very tricky. Cassandrathesceptic (talk) 13:06, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:St Scholastica Day riot

message: In the Dispute section, it is stated that townspeople cried "Havac! Havoc! Smyt fast, give gode knocks!". I can't access the cited sources, but it seems very unlikely to me that any source would say both "havac" and "havoc", and more likely that the first word contains a typo. I've therefore changed it to "Havoc! Havoc!" instead. If a source says otherwise, let me know. Lennart97 (talk) 22:21, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Lennart97, an earlier version of the Morris source available here does indeed say "Havac! Havoc!". Other sources give other spellings entirely. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:38, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for your reply! That's interesting. This book says "Havock, Havock". Maybe the problem is that it was, as this article says at least, a pretty new word at the time, so recordings of it differ. But even then it's unlikely that the townspeople would have cried the word one way first, and then another way. In any case, given that various sources have different spellings so there's not one correct answer, would you agree that it makes the most sense to write it in the article as "Havoc! Havoc!"?

message: This article is about a well-known academic psychologist. It is of general interest as established precedent on wikipedia.
I don't know how to justify the source of 'he is a leading proponent of the appraisal theory of emotion' on the actual wikipedia page. It is fairly obvious since he has well over a hundred articles published in leading journals in this area, including some books that are standard in academic psychology courses.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomascochrane (talk • contribs) 14:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:British M-class submarine

message: The text says that the M1 was rammed and sunk by the Swedish collier SS Vidar. The Submariners' Association, which seems to be the best single internet source on the M-Class, says that it was sunk by the SS Vidal. Google seems to greatly favour Vidar. A shufty on Google suggests that the author Joseph Conrad was first mate on this ship in the late 1880s,  and that it was eventually sunk by U21 in 1940,   although it could have been another ship with the same name. -Ashley Pomeroy 14:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

message: A couple of issues. One, can somebody clarify the spec box on what the exact armament was for each boat?

Also, the box says M-3 & M-4 had 21" tubes, but this page says the 21" wasn't introduced til 1927 in the O-boats. One of them has to be wrong.

Talk:Multiple images (gravitational lensing)

message: I started this article as I thought that the concept of multiple images is not so well described as Einstein rings. The main article on gravitational lensing barely mentions the concept. What shape of a gravitational lens will cause multiple images?, and what is the difference between lenses creating four as opposed to two images? are some of the questions that I would like to be answered in this article.Agge1000 14:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Elementary class

message: After putting some work into this article I realised that there is also an excellent article on pseudoelementary classes, from the point of view of universal algebra, which was started by Prof. Pratt. Unfortunately, this is an example of a general problem. Currently the common foundations of model theory and of universal algebra are covered unsystematically, with unnecessary duplications, and with many inconsistencies even within each of the two subjects. I would like to hear other people's opinions on this. --Hans Adler 14:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think merging this article with the pseudoelementary class article, and covering both algebra and logic, would be an improvement.  — Carl (CBM · talk) 20:58, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: An equally good case could be made for merging pseudoelementary class with reduct.  The notions of elementary class and reduct are orthogonal, and the several examples of pseudoelementary classes in pseudoelementary class arguably illustrate the concept of reduct better than they do the concept of elementary class.  I would be inclined to leave things stand as they are.  If no one has any more concrete proposal I'll remove the tags suggesting the merge at some point.  --Vaughan Pratt (talk) 15:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Overlap with pseudoelementary classes 

message: In the section on "An elementary, basic pseudoelementary class that is not basic elementary" section.
What is Tau?  is that meant to be capital-T from the example? I don't see where Tau is introduced or defined. Zero sharp (talk) 22:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If K were basic elementary, then K were axiomatised by a theory T consisting of a single sentence. Towards a contradiction, we assume that this is the case, and that T={τ}, so τ is this sentence. This is what happens in the sentence "Otherwise the infinite σ-structures would be precisely those which satisfy a certain first-order sentence τ." I now see it's a bit terse. Can you rewrite it to make it clearer? Otherwise I will think about it. (Or is it just a typographic problem? With my fonts and settings the first τ looks like a very small capital T, and the second \;\!\tau looks like a proper tau in TeX.) --Hans Adler (talk) 16:27, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Chinese gunboat Tsao-kiang

message: There are several contradictions if this article with other articles. This article writes the ship was later known as Japanese "Soko" and interwiki links to :ja:操江. There we have the first contradiction: Whereas here is written the ship was launched 1876 for the Nanyang Fleet and a weight of 572 tons, the Japanese article writes 1869 for the Beiyang Fleet and a weight of 640 tons. The article Nanyang Fleet lists the gunboat Caojiang / Ts'ao-chiang 操江 - note the same Chinese characters and that Tsao-kiang may be a older romanization - with launch date 1869 and also a weight of 640 tons. Thus, obviously the Nanyang Fleet article and the Japanese one refer to the same ship but not to the one described in this article.
Furthermore, this article writes the Tsao-kiang was captured at the Battle of Pungdo. However the article Nanyang Fleet does not mention that the fleet engaged in this battle. However the Beiyang Fleet did. In its article as well as the more detailled Chinese one we find an auxiliary ship with the same name (Caojiang "操江"). Battle of Pungdo lists three ships: Tsi-yuan (済遠), Kwang-yi (広乙), the Tsao-kiang (操江), and links the last to here. The Tsi-yuan and the Kwang-yi are part of the Beiyang Fleet - the latter is not mentioned in our article but the Chinese lists a ship names 廣乙/广乙, whereas 広 seems to be either a Japanese variant of 廣 or a simple misspelling instead of 广. This indicates that the ship Tsao-kiang in the article Battle of Pungo refers to the auxilliary ship of the Beiyang Fleet.
Maybe this auxilliary ship was launched 1876 and had a weight of 572 tons, but neither was is part of Nanyang Fleet nor became it the Soko as written in this article. --Mps (talk) 13:16, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Learning English" conflict 

message: On some NBA pages, Ibaka is listed a 6ft 10in (e.g. https://www.nba.com/search#/Serge%20Ibaka) and others he is listed as 7ft 0in (e.g. https://www.nba.com/raptors/roster). I believe that the 6ft 10in listing is more accurate, for two reasons. Firstly, he was measured 6ft 10in at the combine and was listed as such for many years (I believe only recently he was changed to 7ft 0in). Secondly, this past season the NBA requested all teams to submit an accurate re-measurement of all player heights, and the Raptors measured Ibaka at 6ft 10in (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHKycHQXkAE_GZD?format=png&name=small). I doubt he's grown two inches since then, at age thirty. Although perhaps I overlooked something about Wikipedia's policy on NBA player heights. However, the fact that both height listings exist on official sources but he was demonstrably measured at 6ft 10in, makes me think that is a better height to use.

C13 says that there are at least two regions connected to any given region. In other words, there can be no "restaurant at the end of the universe." Casati & Varzi (1999: 66) attribute their C12-C14 to Process and Reality, then announce that their study will make no further use of them.
