Hotels in London

Hi Im confused by your hotels in London edit. You refer to gentleman clubs being an option for London visitors, do you have examples of these and how they provided such a service specific to London? Thanks. Thundernlightning (talk) 13:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

The information was already on the gentleman's clubs page. I just linked to it and added examples there of two clubs - and those clubs have descriptions of their role for expatriates.

I have stayed in both at times, Since I am a member of the Cosmos Club in Washington DC I have reciprocal privileges. It's a nice stuffy but homey atmosphere there, one does have to war a tie. My son once stopped bye to meet me and could not go in. It's about 2/3 of the hotel price - smaller rooms, but extensive public facilities - and tea is served all the time.

There are also some in other UK location, as the Midlands, but I found no Wiki pages. London must have overall over 20 clubs still operating.

Gio

Yes but this is an historical article, not contemporary, and specifically refers to accommodation before the 19th century. The article you linked points out that Gentlemans clubs were a 19th century and onwards trend. I would like to undo your edit on that contextual basis unless you have an objection. Thundernlightning (talk) 16:05, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't want to stop you from undoing anything.

But those clubs were used in the past, namely before there were hotels that gentlemen would stay in (because of their association with prostitution in the 18th and 19th century). I could probably find some good reference books. I'd start with Kynaston: the City of London (4 volumes). The fact that I stay there now is just that it is a pleasant relic from the past. I wonder how long they will survive.

I think it is a useful link and helps in understanding the history. But it's your call. I just spend time on the wiki as a sideline. My expertise is valuation of intellectual property in offshore transaction. And that makes myetravel to odd places. The City of London is a prime driver for tax haven activities. Gio

Photos

If you have a photograph of Harry Huskey that you would like to contribute then you can upload it here by following the instructions. Let me know if you have any problems. JMiall₰ 18:58, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I can upload the photo that you took (and own the copyright for) if you are willing to release it under a license that is compatible with Wikipedia. There are several options but the prefered ones are listed here Commons:Commons:First_steps/License_selection#Best_practices. Basically you have to decide whether to give away all your normal copyright rights or just some of them. If you are happy with any of these options please reply with a statement saying this and I'll sort out the rest. JMiall₰ 13:42, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

I don't claim copyright to that photo.

Harry Huskey photo

After getting quite confused in the Commons - mmuch discussion about beautiful prhotographs and rights eitc I found my way to a fairly s9mple upload page (IT would be good to make a simple pointer to it there from the start, I opfloaded my (quite low quality) photogtraph taken of Harry Huskey in 1964.

I now have to figure out how to add it to the biogrpahy.

I am in the process of getting a book out on Intellectual property valuation and tax avoidance for a relatively general audience. The work requires quite a variety of knowledge, so I consult wikipedia quite a bit; but have only very limited tome to make updates.

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Actually, I didn't add a disambiguation link to Wiiliam Schreiber's bio, I saw one, and then saw another ambiguity Indian Institutes of Technology, there are now a dozen, and fixed that. I requested information on fixing the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology: [[EPFL}} or ETHZ one from a colleague. I find the feedback helpful, am not a wiki expert.

I fixed it. The wikipedia entry for the computers we refer to informally as `Altos' is Xerox Alto. I was the University supervisor of John Shoch's PhD thesis, but Metcalfe provided most of the technical supervision. Thanks for the feedback.

Pareto Efficiency and Optimality

This page is messed up.

While there is a relationship between Pareto Optimality and Pareto Efficiency,
they are different results.  I use Pareto optimality in my consulting, see also

Wiederhold, Gio: "What is Your Software Worth?"; Communications of the ACM, Vol.49 No.9, Sept.2006, p.65-75. Some statements under P. Efficiency belong under optimality, as most of the first paragraph. Pareto Optimality deserves its own page. But now it redirects, and I don't know how to change that.

Why delete and how to protest

I don't see such a button on the page. It is also unclear why this is labelled as a test page. It was resurrected after I got a messages that it was deleted because of 6 months inactivity.

I don't understand that either. Others have made contributions to the page since then. I had indeed not done much to the page. I was planning to add more references, and did that now.

I don't think the page overlaps any entry either, although knowledge management addresses similar issues, but more from an organizational, rather than valuation point of view. GioCM (talk) 22:03, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Girart de Roussillon

The French wikipedia has different parents for his wife, Berthe:

il épouse a une date inconnue, mais avant 818, Berthe, une fille de Hugues, le comte de Tours3 et la sœur d'Ermengarde de Tours2.

Her sister, Ermengarde, is well documented as being married to Lotharius I. de Lorraine.

I don't have sufficient sources to make the changes, but an expert should review that relationship. GioCM (talk) 22:04, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Judith di Friuli

On the page for Lambert I. de Spoleto it states "Lambert was the eldest son of Guy I of Spoleto and Itta, daughter of Sico of Benevento. He married Judith, daughter of Eberhard of Friuli."

on the page for Eberhard of Friuli lit lists Judith as "Judith of Friuli (died ca. 881), first married Arnulf I of Bavaria, second married Conrad II of Auxerre"

In the German Wikipedia Judith is given as "Judith von Friaul, auch Judith im Sülichgau, (* nach 888; † ?) war Herzogin von Bayern", with matching parents.

I spent some time using various Internet genealogical resources. It seems there is a confusion between two parent children sets Eberhard and Judith of Sulichgau (an area in Germany around Tubingen) and a slightly later Everard and Judith of Friuli (an area in Italy between Venice and Trieste).

Both Judiths married well and are cited in multiple places

While I will be making that correction in the genealogy I am working on I don't have the crfedible expertise resources to sort this out in the multiple wikipages that refer to the Judiths and their families.

Would just placing a warning help? Gio GioCM (talk) 17:09, 31 January 2018 (UTC) GioCM (talk) 17:21, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Adela Von Pfalzei

The German Wikipedia shows Irmina von Oeren 640?-25 Dec 706, married to Hugobert von Echternach (635-698) as the mother of Adela von Pfalzei 660-abt 735. Since I am not a historian (yet) I leave it to others to make that correction. My mother did study European history, and I have her history books. So I may check further.
