Hiya Jeanne!
I notice that you reverted my recent edits to the Dave Snowden article. The language you reinstated indicates that Snowden "returned" to Wales at the age of three. Do we have any verification that he lived there previously? Based on the talk page comment that seems to be our only source for all of this it seems clear that while his parents "returned" to Wales, Dave Snowden himself was moving there for the first time. He subsequently returned to England, where he was born and previously lived, to attend university. Irvine22 ( talk) 16:24, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jeanne. There is a discussion going on here on the History of Ireland talk page about the best way to organise or re-organise Irish history articles. It's largely centered on medieval history, so I thought you might like to get involved. Scolaire ( talk) 07:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
P.S. I haven't forgotten my Geraldines project. If this discussion turns into a major article improvement drive, it might be just the spur I need. Scolaire ( talk) 07:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
The two are not the same. From the middle of the 17th century, Canadiens had already become very different to Frenchmen. Even during the seven years war, the Canadien Governor Vaudreuil did not get along with the French General Montcalm, who did not like Canadiens, and who often did not want to use them in battle. Then came the French revolution, and they became very different, more different than a German versus a Frenchman. The language also changed, because the Revolutionary guards did not want to continue speaking the language of the beheaded King and Marie Antoinette. To this day, Canadiens and Frenchmen do not like each other that much. As for your statement that Canadiens came from Normandy and Brittany but they are still French, that is not correct. Britans are celtic people that came to Brittany when the Anglo-Saxons invaded the British isles. They have the same descendants as the Welch. Only in 1532 did they become part of France. France in those days was a Kingdom and the people there considered themselves to be Bretons or Normans or Picards, etc. Normans came from Norway and Denmark as Northmen or Vikings, and settled in northern France, Normandy. It was only after the French revolution that France became a republic and the French identity came into play. So, to say Canadiens are the same as Frenchmen is incorrect. The Canadiens that immigrated to the United States between 1860 and 1930, are very different then the Frenchmen that immigrated as French Huguenots or as Frenchmen during or after the French Revolution. More than one million Canadiens immigrated to the United States from Canada versus only about 250,000 during the same period from France. It's if you were saying all Americans came from England because they are English speaking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.169.118.147 ( talk) 03:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
The other problem that exists dear Jeanne, which use to be my Grandmother's name by the way, is the fact that the Canadians and Acadians who remained in America after the Seven year's war. (called French and Indian war in the US), felt abandoned by the mother country. It's like a husband who abandons you and who preferred another woman but you. Let me make it clearer. When the Seven years war broke out for the Ohio valley, at first, the Canadiens or French Canadians were successful against the Virginians, who started this war for the Ohio Valley. (George Washington killed 31 Canadiens when they were sleeping during the early morning hours. See Jumonville affair) Okay, the first 3 years, Canadiens were successful in defending their territory against the Virginians. But in 1757, William Pitt became Prime-Minister of England and sent 60,000 soldiers to defeat the Canadiens. France sent only 6,000. At the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the British, realizing their mistake, (No Canada meant that the 13 British colonies no longer needed the British to defend them) offered Canada back to France in exchange for Martinique and Guadeloupe. The French chose the later, thus abandoning Canadiens and Acadians altogether. Twenty years later, they helped the 13 British colonies gain their independence by sending 46,000 men, the entire French fleet, a gift of the first US war ship, the Bonhomme Richard, and an accumulated debt of 26 million dollars, which indebted France and led to the French Revolution. During the same time, Canadiens in Louisiana, since it was Canadiens Pierre Lemoyne d'Iberville and his brother Lemoyne de Bienville who founded Louisiana, demanded independence for Louisiana from Spain. France, after 10 months of negociations, refused to recognise a free Louisiana. (Wow, the husband who doesn't care about his own children!) Later because of US independence, Canada would lose the 5 midwestern states, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and half of Minnesota. To make matters worst, Napoleon would wrest Louisiana from Spain, and sell it along with New Orleans, for a mere 5 million dollars, without ever asking a vote by the French government, since he knew they would have refused. The territory of the United States more than doubled, and the rest is history. So you see dear Jeanne, there is reason for the animosity! Have a nice day!-- 142.169.118.147 ( talk) 13:20, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jeanne: In general terms, singers consider themselves to be musicians, the OED notwithstanding. This is OR after over 20 years' involvement in music events. (Musicians are singers or instrumentalists or both. You have a chorus and soloists and an orchestra, or singers and a band, or a group, and all are musicians.)

Yes, he won elections – but by the time he stepped down as Prime Minister he was pretty much discredited and, in fact, had become one of the most disliked politicians since Thatcher.

Another editor has now done a proper article for this man which includes the following: "Brian received grants of land in Suffolk and Cornwall, although the first mention of him being made Earl of Cornwall was not made until 1140 by his nephew, Alan III of Richmond. He had been given the same title by King Stephen and may have been trying to improve the legitimacy of his new rank". What do you think about entering him on the Earl of Cornwall page; Robert of Mortain was usually described as Earl of Cornwall but whether this was formally true seems doubtful. Cadoc hardly counts as only William of Worcester reports on him 4 centuries later. It also brings up the question of the founding of Launceston Castle the main Norman stronghold in Cornwall. Brian was hardly there long enough perhaps.// You now have a day of your own like St. George which we celebrate here in England.// Best wishes.-- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 16:36, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Is this true? No specific enoblling takes place with a courtesy title. As the article on courtesy titles makes plain, in law, the person using such a "title" by courtesy remains a commoner. It is his father that was created Viscount. His decision to style himself by his more senior titles of Earl in no way takes from his possession of the title Viscount. Two living men cannot hold the same title. So styling George as a Viscount is a fiction, a polite convention that has no standing in law. So the "by courtesy" qualification should be restored.

Due to the fact that I do not want my comments taken up my some fringe extreme contributors who seem unable to read context, I'm afraid I'm having to post this to your own personal page. My feelings are such that I would suggest you ignore the person commenting under the IP address 86.44.43.208 and 86.44.32.114. I have done an IP locator on the address and can confirm that the user is indeed Irish, hailing from Dublin, and I am in no doubt that the person possesses some extremist views regarding Irish nationalism and his/her perceived British domination of the world. Perhaps the person, who seems so interested in historical points of interest, should look at the history of other countries, such as Russia, Germany, France, the United States, the Muslim Caliphate, the Hordes of Genghis Khan, etc. and realise that what the British did in Ireland (or continue to do depending on the particular viewpoint) is not restricted to the nation of Britain. In other words, it is not a British phenomenon, but a human one. When a group/nation/state has a particular advantage over another, they always seem hell-bent on utilising this advantage over others, often at the expense of the "subjugated". This person also seems interested in analysing only information which is present in small comments to build up entire pictures of reality, without any further background information, and without any real in-depth analysis of that which lies before him. Basically, I don't see how you responding to him any further can result in anything positive, in fact I believe that it will only infuriate you to be targeted again in such a silly manner.

Hi Jeanne, you ask have I ever been to Tywardreath, setting of Daphne Du Maurier's The House on the Strand? The answer is no and, to be honest, I hadn't heard of that particular novel either – but from the Wikipedia entry it sounds very interesting and I will try to get hold of a copy so thanks for the steer.

I've seen you discussed about this at the desk, when a person said that his/her teacher had insisted that Henry the Eight had had 8 wives. I guess, if you ask the teacher, Edward VI must have had 6 wives and Elizabeth the First must have had one husband!
Anyway, my English teacher in high school managed to blend Mary I of England and Mary I of Scotland into one person, a Mary who was the daughter of Henry VIII, who escaped to Scotland when Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn and became Scotland's queen (who was, by the way, a wonderful person as she puts it) and who gave birth to Elizabeth I's successor. Of course, I corrected her, but the next day she came and told me that she checked and the she was right, thus embarassing me in front of the class. She also told students that Anne Boleyn was a wonderful woman who opened the first orphanage in England and who was always adored by the English. Oh.

Sarah hasn't done that, in fact she made a point of saying that you are always welcome. Don't let a spat with someone else stop you from chatting to Sarah in the future. Jack forbes ( talk) 17:06, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
I'll be taking a week or two off after today, and I hope that while I'm gone you'll feel able to bring your humour to Sarah's talk page again. Life's too short, Jeanne. Jack forbes ( talk) 17:23, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
JB, Jack has the correct take on the heated debate. You wrote: "It was wrong of you and I am deeply offended and hurt." While I won't call my angry declaration of being offended wrong of me, I will acknowledge the hurt you express. I, and certainly Sarah, did not write anything about you being unwelcome. For me to do so would be about as stupid a thing as I could conceive, Sarah I think would have the hide of anyone who could be so presumptuous. It's a facet of great character that she can weather just about any storm and can host and debate against very different views from her own, you know that. There's been a great vibe over there because of that very fact.
There are few better words to explain why I spoke up than those of Malcolm X: "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything." No, I haven't found any reason to take back my outrage. It is after all the result of those nearly two score years of living in the middle of the terrible feelings, sadness and dysfunction that fed it so well...what I meant to portray as the crushing weight borne to this day. I read and re-read your response; I may not be welcome here, so I won't linger. As an offering of good faith, maybe you will enjoy a few minutes listening to a favorite song I think we may like in common – here's "Maggie McGill" with subtitles. I hope that will lessen the hurt, but for my part when it comes to offense that high sometimes it's "Don't get mad, get even." Best – Sswonk ( talk) 05:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice work on May Overthrow. Well done. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 12:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello Jeanne, a believe a while back you created an article on Jeanne of Artois. I would like to create an article on her granddaughter Eleanor of Aragon, Queen of Cyprus and Eleanor's daughter-in-law Valentina Visconti, Queen of Cyprus and Valentina was sister to Taddea, Elisabetta, Caterina, Maddalena and Antonia children of Bernabò Visconti and Beatrice della Scala so she shouldn't be hard to work on since we created articles for most her siblings. Would you be interested in help me make articles for Eleanor and Valentina? Cheers-- David ( talk) 12:45, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

I looked at the sources below and they have conflicting statements, plus you cannot access Google Books book on Medieval Ireland pg. 202 -- it does not show up online. The peerage site lists her under Emma Longspee using the same sources cited on the wiki page. Just wondering because this is news to me.

I need your help. There is a person who I had been having a discussion on the Tudors Wiki about her supposed ancestor Thomas. She says that he is a son of the 2nd Earl of Essex and Mary Bentinck. I have checked multiple sources.. and they all confirm that there is no Thomas that was a son of this couple that went to America. She will not stop putting this person back up on the real wiki page. Is there a way to stop this from happening?? I know who she is.. she tried putting him up with no source and now she tried putting up a real source but obviously she doesn't know what she's doing and messed up all my work from yesterday. She put up the National Dictionary, but there is no link online for whichever National Dictionary she is talking about. I have checked over 10 sources.. and done multiple searches online and there is NO Thomas showing up. Her name is misserma -- this is just getting out of hand as she will continue to put it back up time and time again. I have links to online sources... she does not. I mean if this person was the son of an Earl surely he would be listed somewhere but he is not.. since you know a lot about the Tudors, etc. I thought maybe you could help me out on this. She is only doing this because she wants to prove that she's related to Mary Boleyn, which from my research she is not. Since you are really up on your Boleyn heritage, I thought you could help. Here are a few links that I have used..

I think the article is pretty much completed, but I'll keep hunting for an image. Yes, Ealdgyth is better than Edith. As for the priory donations: there were two separate ones. The first involved Miles, the second (made after 1137) involved Sibyl. I think William was called The Bastard in France. We could compromise by calling him William I of England in the article; this way we stick to NPOV. I wish to thank you once again for your tireless help in greatly improving the article.

I've provisionally undone the edits you made adding more detail about the reason Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere was imprisoned in the Tower. The problem is that the source currently used doesn't go into that much detail about the event, so further references need to be provided if the information is to be re-added. It's an interesting detail though and the article would benefit it's inclusion if it was properly sourced. Nev1 ( talk) 19:09, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey, there would seem to be people adding the facts back into Elizabeth Knolly's page based on the Daily Mail article about Kate Middleton being a descendant of Mary Boleyn - which has NO sources. I just don't understand it, if they had made fun of her for so long about not being 'royal' -- why would they just now come out with this? I had already put all this down in the TALK page, but some idiot IP address came back and changed it again. This is probably on her own page as well (Kate). There is no truth in this and if there was.. where are the sources?? You can't argue with historical records which simply show there are two people missing from the supposed list of Kate's ancestors. Can we put a block on the page or do something about it? Thanks for trying to help by the way.. I just can't stand historically inaccurate information -- especially in the Tudor era where MOST, if not ALL was documented.. especially with the Boleyn family.

And that's not just a greeting. I see from your discussion on User:GoodDay's talk page that you're having an editorial dispute along the lines of something I experienced with him (her?) recently on the page on the current United States Congress. He actually refused to accept 55,000 Google hits, including numerous media uses of the term, as evidence that John Boehner's title was "Speaker-designate" between the time he was nominated as Speaker by the House Republican Conference and when he was actually elected to the position after the House convened earlier this month. (Add to this that GoodDay's substantive knowledge of the U.S. Congress is...well, let's say lacking.) I haven't had any further run-ins with him, but I see the pattern repeating itself with respect to your articles: Documented facts and Wikipedia consensual acceptance of the facts about something mean absolutely nothing if they contradict his view of things. I just wanted to give you a heads-up as to my encounter with him if, at some point, you need to offer evidence of a pattern of behavior. Cheers, JTRH ( talk) 19:35, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Hiya Jeanne!
I notice that you reverted my recent edits to the Dave Snowden article. The language you reinstated indicates that Snowden "returned" to Wales at the age of three. Do we have any verification that he lived there previously? Based on the talk page comment that seems to be our only source for all of this it seems clear that while his parents "returned" to Wales, Dave Snowden himself was moving there for the first time. He subsequently returned to England, where he was born and previously lived, to attend university. Irvine22 ( talk) 16:24, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

The two are not the same. From the middle of the 17th century, Canadiens had already become very different to Frenchmen. Even during the seven years war, the Canadien Governor Vaudreuil did not get along with the French General Montcalm, who did not like Canadiens, and who often did not want to use them in battle. Then came the French revolution, and they became very different, more different than a German versus a Frenchman. The language also changed, because the Revolutionary guards did not want to continue speaking the language of the beheaded King and Marie Antoinette. To this day, Canadiens and Frenchmen do not like each other that much. As for your statement that Canadiens came from Normandy and Brittany but they are still French, that is not correct. Britans are celtic people that came to Brittany when the Anglo-Saxons invaded the British isles. They have the same descendants as the Welch. Only in 1532 did they become part of France. France in those days was a Kingdom and the people there considered themselves to be Bretons or Normans or Picards, etc. Normans came from Norway and Denmark as Northmen or Vikings, and settled in northern France, Normandy. It was only after the French revolution that France became a republic and the French identity came into play. So, to say Canadiens are the same as Frenchmen is incorrect. The Canadiens that immigrated to the United States between 1860 and 1930, are very different then the Frenchmen that immigrated as French Huguenots or as Frenchmen during or after the French Revolution. More than one million Canadiens immigrated to the United States from Canada versus only about 250,000 during the same period from France. It's if you were saying all Americans came from England because they are English speaking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.169.118.147 ( talk) 03:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
The other problem that exists dear Jeanne, which use to be my Grandmother's name by the way, is the fact that the Canadians and Acadians who remained in America after the Seven year's war. (called French and Indian war in the US), felt abandoned by the mother country. It's like a husband who abandons you and who preferred another woman but you. Let me make it clearer. When the Seven years war broke out for the Ohio valley, at first, the Canadiens or French Canadians were successful against the Virginians, who started this war for the Ohio Valley. (George Washington killed 31 Canadiens when they were sleeping during the early morning hours. See Jumonville affair) Okay, the first 3 years, Canadiens were successful in defending their territory against the Virginians. But in 1757, William Pitt became Prime-Minister of England and sent 60,000 soldiers to defeat the Canadiens. France sent only 6,000. At the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the British, realizing their mistake, (No Canada meant that the 13 British colonies no longer needed the British to defend them) offered Canada back to France in exchange for Martinique and Guadeloupe. The French chose the later, thus abandoning Canadiens and Acadians altogether. Twenty years later, they helped the 13 British colonies gain their independence by sending 46,000 men, the entire French fleet, a gift of the first US war ship, the Bonhomme Richard, and an accumulated debt of 26 million dollars, which indebted France and led to the French Revolution. During the same time, Canadiens in Louisiana, since it was Canadiens Pierre Lemoyne d'Iberville and his brother Lemoyne de Bienville who founded Louisiana, demanded independence for Louisiana from Spain. France, after 10 months of negociations, refused to recognise a free Louisiana. (Wow, the husband who doesn't care about his own children!) Later because of US independence, Canada would lose the 5 midwestern states, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and half of Minnesota. To make matters worst, Napoleon would wrest Louisiana from Spain, and sell it along with New Orleans, for a mere 5 million dollars, without ever asking a vote by the French government, since he knew they would have refused. The territory of the United States more than doubled, and the rest is history. So you see dear Jeanne, there is reason for the animosity! Have a nice day!-- 142.169.118.147 ( talk) 13:20, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Another editor has now done a proper article for this man which includes the following: "Brian received grants of land in Suffolk and Cornwall, although the first mention of him being made Earl of Cornwall was not made until 1140 by his nephew, Alan III of Richmond. He had been given the same title by King Stephen and may have been trying to improve the legitimacy of his new rank". What do you think about entering him on the Earl of Cornwall page; Robert of Mortain was usually described as Earl of Cornwall but whether this was formally true seems doubtful. Cadoc hardly counts as only William of Worcester reports on him 4 centuries later. It also brings up the question of the founding of Launceston Castle the main Norman stronghold in Cornwall. Brian was hardly there long enough perhaps.// You now have a day of your own like St. George which we celebrate here in England.// Best wishes.-- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 16:36, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Is this true? No specific enoblling takes place with a courtesy title. As the article on courtesy titles makes plain, in law, the person using such a "title" by courtesy remains a commoner. It is his father that was created Viscount. His decision to style himself by his more senior titles of Earl in no way takes from his possession of the title Viscount. Two living men cannot hold the same title. So styling George as a Viscount is a fiction, a polite convention that has no standing in law. So the "by courtesy" qualification should be restored.

Due to the fact that I do not want my comments taken up my some fringe extreme contributors who seem unable to read context, I'm afraid I'm having to post this to your own personal page. My feelings are such that I would suggest you ignore the person commenting under the IP address 86.44.43.208 and 86.44.32.114. I have done an IP locator on the address and can confirm that the user is indeed Irish, hailing from Dublin, and I am in no doubt that the person possesses some extremist views regarding Irish nationalism and his/her perceived British domination of the world. Perhaps the person, who seems so interested in historical points of interest, should look at the history of other countries, such as Russia, Germany, France, the United States, the Muslim Caliphate, the Hordes of Genghis Khan, etc. and realise that what the British did in Ireland (or continue to do depending on the particular viewpoint) is not restricted to the nation of Britain. In other words, it is not a British phenomenon, but a human one. When a group/nation/state has a particular advantage over another, they always seem hell-bent on utilising this advantage over others, often at the expense of the "subjugated". This person also seems interested in analysing only information which is present in small comments to build up entire pictures of reality, without any further background information, and without any real in-depth analysis of that which lies before him. Basically, I don't see how you responding to him any further can result in anything positive, in fact I believe that it will only infuriate you to be targeted again in such a silly manner.

Hi Jeanne, you ask have I ever been to Tywardreath, setting of Daphne Du Maurier's The House on the Strand? The answer is no and, to be honest, I hadn't heard of that particular novel either – but from the Wikipedia entry it sounds very interesting and I will try to get hold of a copy so thanks for the steer.

I've seen you discussed about this at the desk, when a person said that his/her teacher had insisted that Henry the Eight had had 8 wives. I guess, if you ask the teacher, Edward VI must have had 6 wives and Elizabeth the First must have had one husband!
Anyway, my English teacher in high school managed to blend Mary I of England and Mary I of Scotland into one person, a Mary who was the daughter of Henry VIII, who escaped to Scotland when Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn and became Scotland's queen (who was, by the way, a wonderful person as she puts it) and who gave birth to Elizabeth I's successor. Of course, I corrected her, but the next day she came and told me that she checked and the she was right, thus embarassing me in front of the class. She also told students that Anne Boleyn was a wonderful woman who opened the first orphanage in England and who was always adored by the English. Oh.

JB, Jack has the correct take on the heated debate. You wrote: "It was wrong of you and I am deeply offended and hurt." While I won't call my angry declaration of being offended wrong of me, I will acknowledge the hurt you express. I, and certainly Sarah, did not write anything about you being unwelcome. For me to do so would be about as stupid a thing as I could conceive, Sarah I think would have the hide of anyone who could be so presumptuous. It's a facet of great character that she can weather just about any storm and can host and debate against very different views from her own, you know that. There's been a great vibe over there because of that very fact.
There are few better words to explain why I spoke up than those of Malcolm X: "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything." No, I haven't found any reason to take back my outrage. It is after all the result of those nearly two score years of living in the middle of the terrible feelings, sadness and dysfunction that fed it so well...what I meant to portray as the crushing weight borne to this day. I read and re-read your response; I may not be welcome here, so I won't linger. As an offering of good faith, maybe you will enjoy a few minutes listening to a favorite song I think we may like in common – here's "Maggie McGill" with subtitles. I hope that will lessen the hurt, but for my part when it comes to offense that high sometimes it's "Don't get mad, get even." Best – Sswonk ( talk) 05:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Can you go through my latest addition? I think the article is now finished. What do you think, does it deserve GA status? -- Bojan Talk 12:58, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Came across your userpage by accident, but thank god I did! It is just SO MUCH FUN to read your page. And all the photos... It's like going through a photoalbum, as well as going through history. It really created a smile upon my face, seeing you through the decades (and hairfases, btw, red hair really looks good on you), your children (they turned out to be drop-dead gorgeous!), and the sceneries seen on those photos. Maybe there are people who reckon your UP as too long, but sweetie darlin': keep it up, for it rulezz!!! :D So to conclude everyting, I proudly award you with The Special Barnstar! :) Robster1983 ( talk) 13:30, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Jeanne. I was surprised to see this edit. After centuries of not knowing exactly when Lady H was born, we suddenly seem to know; this surprises me, I must say. Do you have a cite for that date, 26 April 1761? Sceptically yours. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 04:24, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello Jeanne, hope you're having a good holiday! At the moment I'm focusing on the Infantas of Aragon here are a few articles I've done so far: Constance of Aragon, Queen of Majorca, Joanna of Aragon, Countess of Ampurias and Teresa d'Entença. I plan to write one for Joanna of Aragon, older sister of Yolande of Aragon. All the best-- David ( talk) 16:06, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

You are só very welcome! I really loved 'going through' your profile, it really made me smile. It even made me so curious about decades even before I was born (God, how much I must have missed). Is your profile something that was created over the years, or is it something that came to be in quite a short period? Robster1983 ( talk) 20:44, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I need your help. There is a person who I had been having a discussion on the Tudors Wiki about her supposed ancestor Thomas. She says that he is a son of the 2nd Earl of Essex and Mary Bentinck. I have checked multiple sources.. and they all confirm that there is no Thomas that was a son of this couple that went to America. She will not stop putting this person back up on the real wiki page. Is there a way to stop this from happening?? I know who she is.. she tried putting him up with no source and now she tried putting up a real source but obviously she doesn't know what she's doing and messed up all my work from yesterday. She put up the National Dictionary, but there is no link online for whichever National Dictionary she is talking about. I have checked over 10 sources.. and done multiple searches online and there is NO Thomas showing up. Her name is misserma -- this is just getting out of hand as she will continue to put it back up time and time again. I have links to online sources... she does not. I mean if this person was the son of an Earl surely he would be listed somewhere but he is not.. since you know a lot about the Tudors, etc. I thought maybe you could help me out on this. She is only doing this because she wants to prove that she's related to Mary Boleyn, which from my research she is not. Since you are really up on your Boleyn heritage, I thought you could help. Here are a few links that I have used..

I think the article is pretty much completed, but I'll keep hunting for an image. Yes, Ealdgyth is better than Edith. As for the priory donations: there were two separate ones. The first involved Miles, the second (made after 1137) involved Sibyl. I think William was called The Bastard in France. We could compromise by calling him William I of England in the article; this way we stick to NPOV. I wish to thank you once again for your tireless help in greatly improving the article.

this, which gives Sibyls' eldest daughter's name as 'Margery' – married to Humphrey de Bohun. Is it the same person? Should the altenative name be mentioned?

I've provisionally undone the edits you made adding more detail about the reason Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere was imprisoned in the Tower. The problem is that the source currently used doesn't go into that much detail about the event, so further references need to be provided if the information is to be re-added. It's an interesting detail though and the article would benefit it's inclusion if it was properly sourced. Nev1 ( talk) 19:09, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey, there would seem to be people adding the facts back into Elizabeth Knolly's page based on the Daily Mail article about Kate Middleton being a descendant of Mary Boleyn - which has NO sources. I just don't understand it, if they had made fun of her for so long about not being 'royal' -- why would they just now come out with this? I had already put all this down in the TALK page, but some idiot IP address came back and changed it again. This is probably on her own page as well (Kate). There is no truth in this and if there was.. where are the sources?? You can't argue with historical records which simply show there are two people missing from the supposed list of Kate's ancestors. Can we put a block on the page or do something about it? Thanks for trying to help by the way.. I just can't stand historically inaccurate information -- especially in the Tudor era where MOST, if not ALL was documented.. especially with the Boleyn family.

I will keep looking to see what I can find.-- MFIreland • Talk 18:30, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

I suggest a peer review for further improvement towards GA status. KimChee ( talk) 04:19, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
GoodDay (

There is stupid and then again there is STUPID. Last night while watching tv, someone I know thought the film Last of the Mohicans was Robin Hood!!!!!!!! I tell you......To other editors: feel free to post instances of stupidity here.-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 10:55, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Do any other editors around this joint feel that Wikipedia is becoming steadily more Draconian? Not to mention ball-breaking?!-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 11:04, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi. There has been an argument over the article on Max Mosley, son of the 6th Baronet Mosley, over something so simple as whether if we should include the name of his parents in law, or father in law, and information on his own children. They even claim he's not nobility. It's a false question, but some people, from outside lineages' issues, insists in not adding them. The discussion was brought up by User:4u1e on User talk:Konakonian, Talk:Max Mosley and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. I'd thank you that you'd join with your good judgement.

I saw you have been really active lately and I clicked on over to your user page and was pretty impressed. Would you be interested in helping with the WP:Online_Ambassadors program? It's really a great opportunity to help university students become Wikipedia contributers. I hope you apply to become an ambassador, Sadads ( talk) 00:32, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
One of my PCs is down (being formatted), and I'm having server problems due to bad weather. Whippeeeeee!!!!! When it rains, it pours.-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 07:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Has anyone ever been to an Italian wedding? In the summer, the receptions are normally held outdoors and guests are expected to dress to the nines.-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 17:13, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
And that's not just a greeting. I see from your discussion on User:GoodDay's talk page that you're having an editorial dispute along the lines of something I experienced with him (her?) recently on the page on the current United States Congress. He actually refused to accept 55,000 Google hits, including numerous media uses of the term, as evidence that John Boehner's title was "Speaker-designate" between the time he was nominated as Speaker by the House Republican Conference and when he was actually elected to the position after the House convened earlier this month. (Add to this that GoodDay's substantive knowledge of the U.S. Congress is...well, let's say lacking.) I haven't had any further run-ins with him, but I see the pattern repeating itself with respect to your articles: Documented facts and Wikipedia consensual acceptance of the facts about something mean absolutely nothing if they contradict his view of things. I just wanted to give you a heads-up as to my encounter with him if, at some point, you need to offer evidence of a pattern of behavior. Cheers, JTRH ( talk) 19:35, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm shocked he approved the nomination so fast. Now if I can just get my other three GA noms moving, I'd be golden... :) Ruby2010 talk 16:48, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello again! I've done a lot of work on 1969 Northern Ireland riots over the past few days and I think I've got it up to B-Class, but I'd like someone else to have a look at it. Seeing the amazing work you did on Glenanne gang/Miami Showband massacre etc, I couldn't think of anyone better to ask. A few statements still need sourced and it still needs a picture. I'll be uploading a picture of a poster/mural soon, but I think we should have one taken during the event. Same goes for Battle of the Bogside. ~Asarlaí 05:02, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
I've noticed that an (apparently) brand new editor - User:CaroleHenson - has started an article on Gwladys ferch Dafydd Gam. This seems to be well within your area of interest, and as she seems to be new I thought you might like to cast your eyes over it, and maybe give her some words of advice and encouragement? It looks like a pretty good start to me, but the odd tweak here and there might not go amiss. What I don't understand is, if it is a new article, why does the tag date from 2006? Is it an article that's previously been deleted? I don't want to WP:BITE or make any assumptions! A bit of mentoring might be in order, if you're that way inclined....

Just saying, hi! Having fun with you on the Gwladys article! Great edits!-- CaroleHenson ( talk) 08:23, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Jeanne, I spent time last night removing bullets, because I was told it's best not to do that. Further, I am building on this section, which will have more information about the children. Can we compromise: keep the paragraph formatting, but lose the bolding of the names? -- CaroleHenson ( talk) 19:11, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
