Dublin and Monaghan bombings
I note your edits to this article. At the time I had just returned from London, it was not a good time to be there. We were house-hunting. It was a good time to do that as there were plenty of vacant properties. After work we walked to an estate agent in Nassau St, he actually lent us some the keys of some houses which we could view by ourselves over the weekend. Then there was a bang, the agent suggested a car back-fire. Then we headed for Westland Row train station (now Pearse Dart). Had we been three minutes later or three minutes earlier ... .... The scene was horrific. there was glass everywhere with injured people lying about, alarms sounding. Then white-coated dental students came rushing with bandages. (the dental hospital - part of Trinity was nearby). There was nothing we could do and there seemed to be enough white coats about, I wanted to get to the railway station and get me and my new wife out of there - but then meant passing back past the scene. There was just one white-faced Garda there. He stopped us. I explained about the railway, he said - ok - but don't look up the lane. Passing the Chubb alarm shop, there were four people laid out there, with doctors (or dentists?) doing their best. The lane. I couldn't help looking, there were screams. An unfortunate man with only the top half of his body. Its hard to retell the event. I'll stop now ClemMcGann (talk) 12:41, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I worked on Talbot Street in 1981; I always passed the area around Guiney's where the 2nd bomb car exploded. I always got shivers as I reflected on the collective agony people suffered that afternoon at that same spot. There are black burn stains that remain on the outside walls of Guiney's. I once met the sister of Anna Massey, one of the two women killed by the South Leinster Street bomb. We were at a party; my friend from Northern Ireland was doing Ian Paisley impersonations unaware that this woman's sister was killed in the bombing, and as soon as she heard his accent, she walked out. Throughout the years I lived in Dublin, I never went into the city centre without worrying that bombs might go off again. Never. That is what terrorism means. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. It must be difficult to have such memories,and then relate them. Thank you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:33, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Mid-Term!!
I thought it garnered a new heading. A whole week of -- erm, rain & constuction; the road my house is on, Rochestown, is being dug up. At least I'm off to Dublin on Wednesday! Any tips from a seasoned Dubliner, such as yourself, Jeanne? -- Jack1755 (talk) 16:36, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Enjoy yourself! Ah, to be in Dublin strolling along the Quays.......Oh, there is an interesting old church on a Church Street off the Quays called St. Michan's Church. It has centuries-old mummies. Fascinating!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:44, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I'll be sure to see it! I'm also heading to the National Wax Museum; it's been closed since 2000; only re-opened this month. The Winter has descended upon us: a thick mist is obscuring Cork! -- Jack1755 (talk) 21:20, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Cornwall's anthem
Jeanne, you asked about this: Bro Goth agan Tasow (I assume you were serious). Best, Daicaregos (talk) 07:25, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was serious. Thanks a million, Dai. I have some remote Cornish ancestry, see here:John Johns Trigg. He was my great-great-great-great-grandfather on my mother's side.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Catherine of Alençon
Hello Jeanne, I've created this article on Catherine of Alençon. She lived a strange life, amony some of the highlights was help to deliver the baby Henry VI of England. You created an article on her sister last year, Marie of Alencon. Is it an good and thank you for installing an info box on Matilde of Bavaria's article, I wish I could find an image of her, there is a big family tapastry with all the Meissen couples on it but I can't find the one of Matilde and her husband do you know anything about that? Cheers--David (talk) 15:29, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It's good, David. Where did you find her image? I wish I could find one for Marie of Alencon.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:01, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I found it on Wiki Commons, the user that posted it has posted many images of interest to us, he's posted many images of those Bohemian queens who's pags I created an expanded, I'll have a look around at the stuff they've posted and send them a message, just I forgot the username and password for my Wiki Commons account--David (talk) 09:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

French stuff
Bonjour Jeanne! If you do not mind, I am following in your footsteps with accents & cedillas in my pocket to fix up Angoulême, Alençon & poor Vigéè Lebrun who has become unlinkable! How are things in Sicily? Aurevoir! Frania W. (talk) 03:23, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

User:Titch Tucker
I noticed he is not on the list of deceased Wikipedians. Seeing as it looks as if you knew him perhaps you could consider adding him. (I’m not sure in regards to the criteria for adding people to the list, most of the editors on this list are very distinguished). Food for thought I think they say. --Sooo Kawaii!!! ^__^ (talk) 20:48, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * He's not? Surely this is an oversight. You could contact an administrator and ask why he's not there. His talk page has been protected, but I think you can still leave a message.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:41, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * His son specifically requested that he not be listed there, which we should respect. Rockpock  e  t  06:43, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I fully agree that we should respect his son's wishes. Thank you, Rockpocket.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:03, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, that settles it. --Sooo Kawaii!!! ^__^ (talk) 13:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Baroque mourning & Cosimo III
Have you ever seen such an elabarote mouring dress? I guess that's Baroque for you... I have a problem over at Cosimo III; it would be nice to get yor opinion. Vielen dank -- Jack1755 (talk) 22:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sure she didn't take mourning to such drastic lengths as Joanna of Castile did! Then again, what can you expect as Joanna was a Scorpio!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:44, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Joanna apparently locked herself away with her daughter Catherine when Philip died. Apparently Joanna could see her husband in the child, and she'd try and talk to him, what must've poor little Catherine being thinking? Another one who was very upset when she was widowed was Leonora of England, she was so upset she would go to her husbands funeral, eventually she made herself so sick she died. Now that shows how much she loved her husband--David (talk) 09:49, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * LOL -- I read somewhere that her reclusive behaviour was in part due to the co-regecny. -- Jack1755 (talk) 10:46, 26 October 2009 (UTC) 10:45, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your support, Jeanne. I'm rather upset with the whole affair... -- Jack1755 (talk) 14:29, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Does anyone else think the Elector looks likes Santa? -- Jack1755 (talk) 14:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Where I live (Sicily), they've made an entire culture out of mourning. Alas, their rather dreary mourning attire does not match their baroque histrionics.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Euphemia of Kuyavia
Hello Jeanne, I've translated an article from Polish Wikipedia on Euphemia of Kuyavia. I've sorted out everything apart from the section about her marriage which is in rather nasty english, it doesn't make sense to me. I was wondering if you would take a look at it. If you do, please leave the numbers in the brackets, I need them for the references. Thank You--David (talk) 10:07, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Help, I've gotten myself in trouble with Jack & Dai, concerning my comments at BW's page. GoodDay (talk) 15:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * LOL. You remind me of the 1986 Smiths song, "Bigmouth Strikes Again", Now I know how Joan of Arc felt, now I know how Joan of Arc felt, when the flames rose to her Roman nose and her hearing aid started to melt....--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:57, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Save the sea-kittens!
LOL. I thought I should share this with everyone: Peta.org -- Sea Kittens. Update: Still no hope over at Cosimo III, I'm thinking of resigning anything to do with it. Off to Dublin in seven hours; won't be online all day. Bye guys! -- Jack1755 (talk) 23:19, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Have fun, Jack! Lucky you. I wish I could be off to Dublin. Acireale (my nearest town) just does not compare.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:12, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh it was wonderful, thank you, Jeanne! I didn't get the chance to go to St. Michan's, but I ventured to the newly re-opened Wax Museum, which was excellent, Bewleys, Café en Seine, Shelbourne; and maxed out my Mom's credit card. LOL. -- Jack1755 (talk) 20:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, I adore Bewleys. Not only is the coffee excellent but the atmosphere is so tres chic. The cheesecake and chocolate donuts are also out-of-this-world. Jack, I really miss living in Dublin.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I wish I lived there too. It's just magical place! How are your Northern-Irish projects going? -- Jack1755 (talk) 04:22, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * They're going well. I've added more to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings article. It's so depressing, though to write about this tragedy.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 04:28, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Wowsers, within about 3 days, I've been involved in overlapping discussions at Mary McAleese, Aimone, 4th Duke of Aosta, discussions concerning hopping IPs & the topic of 'country'. GoodDay (talk) 13:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Why not relax and give me your opinion, check for any typos on my latest article: Rachel Wriothesley. At least it won't get you into any fresh hot water, LOL.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:12, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I don't know anything about her. GoodDay (talk) 18:21, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * But how does it look to you? I'd never heard of her either until the other day when I did an article on Anne Carr, her mother-in-law.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:23, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The article appears alright, to me. GoodDay (talk) 18:25, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I read it and liked it, Jeanne. Typos seem to be absent. -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:26, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys. I wish I had an image of her.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:27, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm gonna sit back & see what happens with the King Ernest of Hanover article (and the King George V of Hanover article). Those peerage titles are 'British'. GoodDay (talk) 19:46, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm so glad that I've never touched a UK-related article! I think a sovereign entity like the UK should take precedence over its provinces. Yes, I've implied it, Scotland and the like are provinces and nothing more. On a completely unrelated note, I watched this tv show last night and it has been haunting me since!!. -- Jack1755 (talk) 20:36, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Countess of Southampton
I saw that you are currently working on several Wriothesley girls. I added (another!) cranky Shakespeare theory to Elizabeth Wriothesley, Countess of Southampton. To my surprise, and as far as I am aware, it has not been exploded so far, although it didn't revolutionized anything eihter. Thank you for your note on my talk the other day; I am recently a bit frustrated by the climate around the FAC talk page and similar forums...best to keep away from that crazyland and do the quiet work in the vineyard...like you do, and PKM, and myself (just examples). Buchraeumer (talk) 12:45, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I like Elizabeth Vernon, and there are many good portraits of her as well. Your theory about the sonnets is interesting.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:04, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * O. k. then, that's fine. The study I have read on it has never been translated into English, but I had a look at Amazon, and there are two further books on Shakespeare by the same author in which she includes this theory among other cranky things. The True Face of William Shakespeare and The Life and Times of William Shakespeare 1564-1616 or thereabouts. Well, happy suspense for this night! (Where I live, Halloween is only very recently coming en vogue) Buchraeumer (talk) 20:56, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

A nightmare for Jeanne boleyn
You wake to learn:
 * The Rolling Stones never wrote any of their songs
 * Keith Richards is actually Pee-wee Herman in disguise
 * Ron Wood actually wears a wig
 * Charlie Watts works for a lightbulb company. GoodDay (talk) 19:43, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Be back later...
I'll be signed-out for a few hours, gotta haul wood for the winter & fix my barn door. GoodDay (talk) 13:26, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Whaaaaaaaaaat? Haul wood? Fix your barn door? Sounds like something from an episode of Little House on the Prairie!!!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:29, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No, no, Jeanne. GoodDay is far more like something out of The Waltons! LOL. After all, we are in an economic depression! -- Jack1755 (talk) 16:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hee hee hee, "Goodnight GoodDay".--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:06, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Sometimes, they're worse. GoodDay (talk) 19:53, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * GoodDay, you are making me feel very cold. Will you please go into your kitchen and make me a nice cup of hot chocolate? Thanks. I feel warmer already just at the thought.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Giggle giggle. I had to leave the Northern Ireland Rfc, as I can't make up my mind (on a preference). GoodDay (talk) 18:20, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Maude of Lancaster
Nothing major, just that suo jure should be before the noun, i.e. Countess. Hope this helps! I'm currently attempting to improve Pauline Bonaparte. -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:32, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the correction.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:45, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * LOL. My poor mother has just returned from ballet rehearsals -- it's her comeback! he he -- she's playing a minor role, and apparently, it's a lot less minor than the co-oridninator told her! When the time comes, I'm just gonna sit back...relax...and laugh. -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:51, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

A real nightmare for Jeanne Boleyn
I awaken to discover that:
 * Henry VIII and his six wives, including Anne Boleyn were just a myth; they never existed (Scream!)
 * It is early 1976, therefore:
 * Internet and Wikipedia have not been invented yet; my only sources of entertainment are crappy TV sit-coms (Scream!)
 * I switch on KMET (a little bit of heaven, 94.7) and the Peter Frampton song Show Me the Way is playing over and over (Scream|)
 * I open my wardrobe and all I've got to wear are flared, high-waisted jeans, wrinkly, knee-length skirts, dancer's leotards, horrible striped jumpers, rust-coloured t-shirts, and platform espadrilles (Scream!)
 * I look into the mirror to find my hair is its natural colour of dark brown and parted in the middle (Scream!)
 * I am still in high school, so I walk down to Venice Blvd, and catch the #75 Rapid Transit District (RTD) bus to Venice High School, where I am forced to fight off the amorous advances of surfer Chris Biggs (Scream!)
 * LOL. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:36, 4 November 2009 (UTC)



Welcome to my nightmare.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:31, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello
I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Jeanne. I've been busy with my studies -- returned to school on Monday from mid-term -- and it's the way some of my appointments have fallen this week: orthodontist, chiropractor, and math's tutor, etc. How is life in Sicily? Did you get mant callers at Hallowe'en? -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:36, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * None at all. My daughter and her friends had a Hallowe'en party and watched the horror film, Saw! Eek!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:44, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That movie scared me 0_o. A LOT!!! I think the Amityville Horror (2006 remake) is probably the scariest movie I've seen. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:59, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I've never seen it. The Amityville haunting was proved to have been a hoax, though.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:01, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I wonder where GoodDay is today?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:03, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Workin' on the farm, no doubt! I know it's a hoax, but it made one heck of a story! When I was last in New York, I had wanted to see the house, but, alas...! -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:05, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, have you been to New York? I've only been to JFK Airport.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:07, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, I was there in April 2005 & 2006. It's amazing! THE SHOPPING. -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:12, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * When I was born, they thought I was a coyote. But, I'm alright nowoooooh. GoodDay (talk) 19:24, 4 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Lovely gal, awooooh.... GoodDay (talk) 20:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Apologies
You're right, I'm sorry. The words I used were hard and insulting. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 10:52, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Apology accepted. The issues surrounding Northern Ireland go well beyond the designation of the place. One is also left with trying to decide what to call the people of Northern Ireland themselves. For Nationalists it's easy, as they're Irish; but for Unionists, one is stuck with the ambiguous term British as Irish would not apply to them, due to their obvious historic rejection of the identity, and Northern Irish is polemic, and not quite accurate from an historical perspective, whereas Ulsterman-or woman is too quaint and colloquial.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 12:38, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I recall something David Ervine said once in interview: "If you can have an Irish-American, why can't you have a British-Irishman?" I found that a pretty compelling argument and a good maxim to move forward with.
 * Apologies again for my rudeness, the pressure of that discussion got the better of me. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 22:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Believe me I understand. I always believed that David Ervine was one of the more intelligent of the Loyalist paramilitaries. It's a pity he became involved in violence; for had he not been put in prison perhaps he could have had a more pacificing influence on the more belligerent members of the UVF. I read about him in Peter Taylor's Loyalists. Even Gerry Adams respected him. Oh, if you think it's bad on Troubles-related articles, head over to Talk:Lee Harvey Oswald. On that page there are more insults flying about than there were bullets in Elm Street on 22 November 1963!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:53, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the infobox
It's no problem! I knew I messed up your D.O.B, parents, and first husband, but, regardless, I elected to insert them! I'm glad you enjoyed it. -- Jack1755 (talk) 16:12, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * TYPO PATROL: Could you check Pauline Bonaparte for typos, please? Danke schoen -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:56, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There weren't many typos, Jack. It's a very good article!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:20, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Let's the hope the finished product shall be too. I got my orthodontic braces revamped yesterday, I'm in a world of pain.... -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:24, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I hate anything to do with dentists so you've got my full sympathy.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I've got two 8 pound, nickel springs mercilessly tugging at my teeth! And the worst part, I can't eat anything! At all. -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:39, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I hope Jack forbes returns
Hopefully, his retirement is temporary. GoodDay (talk) 19:18, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have asked him to reconsider his decision. I shall miss him, he's a nice, decent guy.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:24, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland should be called constituent countries again. Oh well. GoodDay (talk) 16:46, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know. It's so pointless commenting over there as the arguments just go round in circles and the tempers keep flaring up.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:47, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I had to leave, as there was a potentual that I would've become an issue (the who bullied GoodDay dispute). GoodDay (talk) 16:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I offered my opinion, I won't keep hammering it home. I prefer country, but if others go with province, I won't object.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:01, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Remember my own personal motto: "Go with the flow, man".....--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, things are cool (as long as they're not edit-warring). GoodDay (talk) 17:06, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Agnes
Wow Jeanne, she was a player wasn't she. I find it strange that Anne and Richard never had children, it's strange because they loved eachother and Richard was always faithful to Anne. Did Anne have a miscarriage? I've been focusing alot more on Poland at the moment, on all those unheard of Queen consorts, one you may like is Agrippina of Slavonia, sister to Queen Kunigunda of Bohemia. Others I've created are Lucia of Rügen, Grzymislawa of Luck and I've expanded Helen of Znojmo, sister to Conrad II, Duke of Bohemia. Isn't it funny how they all lead back to Bohemia? Oh, and nice infobox. Cheers--David (talk) 16:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I have read that Robert de Vere had an illegitimate daughter by an unnamed mistress. Do you know anything about it or is it just a rumour put about by wishful genealogists?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:44, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

No, I've heard nothing. It would be great if we could get hold of an image of Philippa's mother, Isabella of England. I've also expanded Anna of Austria (1549–1580)--David (talk) 16:48, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes or Isabella's eldest daughter, Marie de Coucy, Countess of Soissons. That was the third article I created for Wikipedia!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:59, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

It was bonfire night here yesterday and the fireworks are going off again today!--David (talk) 19:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

 * The best Bonfire Night celebration I ever saw was in Lewes. Magnificent. It was 1980, and I recall they burnt Maggie Thatcher in effigy along with the Pope. The costumes were wonderful.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 05:39, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Maggie Thatcher? Wouldn't that have been illegal back them, imagine if she'd have caught you. There's a big firework display not far from my house tonight, for all the families to go to, being Saturday--David (talk) 10:44, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it wasn't illegal. I lived in Lewes at the time, and it was remowned for its Bonfire Night celebrations. They were truly memorable.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Should I have a go at that nightmare talk you've all been doing?--David (talk) 13:01, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, go for it, David.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:05, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

It's not as entertaining as GoodDay's but it's a start, it's on my talk page--David (talk) 17:13, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Pussycat Dolls' most popular songs are probably Don't Cha, Stickwitu and When I Grow Up. I like Lady Gaga, people are annoyed with her in this country though because she was supposed to be the opening act for Take That but she couldn't be bothered going. Have you heard her new song, Bad Romance?--David (talk) 12:06, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Injury
I suffered a bad head injury this morning, so my editing will be much reduced over the next few days. I will try to get to Wikipedia as often as I can but I shall need to rest a bit. Don't worry I haven't gone away, but my head is killing me at the moment, and as I was hurt in the back of the head that can be quite dangerous, so I should take it easy. Thanks everybody for understanding that if I don't reply straight away to messages posted here, it's due to my sore head. LOL.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:43, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought I'd make GoodDay laugh by uploading a photo taken when I was in my hippie phase in 1971-the year he was born! Note the beads? I used to frequent the Hari Krishna temple close to my house in the hope that I'd meet George Harrison who often visited the temple.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:02, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you alright??? -- Jack1755 (talk) 13:10, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I feel much better. Thank you Jack.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:16, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hope you'll be 100% soon. PS: cool photo. GoodDay (talk) 17:00, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Wasn't I far-out, especially with those hip Hari Krishna beads?! Shameless capitalist that I was (am).--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:10, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

A republican world
Someday, all the monarchies will be abolished. Last year it was Nepal, "everything is proceeding, as I have foreseen". GoodDay (talk) 16:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Who said that? Vladimir Lenin?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:02, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I stold that line from Palpatine. Oddily enough, he was a absolute monarch (in the Star Wars Universe). GoodDay (talk) 17:05, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought it sounded like something the thoroughly sinister Lenin would have said in one of his dark, bleak merciless speeches to the freed proletariat.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:08, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Giggle giggle. GoodDay (talk) 18:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Look at the two pictures and ask yourself this question, GoodDay: do you think sexual envy played a part in Lenin's hatred of the Tsar and his family? With a stunner like Krupskaya, Vladimir could never sire a beauty like Tatiana.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:39, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

The Geraldines
Hi, Jeanne. Sorry for not replying to your message sooner. I've been on WP very little in the last couple of months, as I'm very busy in RL. I hope to get back to the Geraldines project sometime in the new year. I read your articles and they are exactly the kind of thing I had in mind. I look forward to some fruitful collaboration. Scolaire (talk) 08:07, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the FitzGerald Lords of Offaly definitely need articles. Juliana FitzGerald's father was the 3rd Lord of Offaly and Justiciar of Ireland, and was very notable. Her husband Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond should have his own article as well.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll put it on my list :-) Scolaire (talk) 09:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Eventually I'd like to create an article on Mabel Digby, the wife of Sir Gerald FitzGerald of Dromana and Decies. Her mother was Lettice Digby, 1st Baroness Offaly.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:45, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

The UK's administrative divisions
England, Scotland, Northern Ireland & Wales. IMHO, those articles should've kept the usage constituent country in the lead. Oh well, it's too late now. GoodDay (talk) 14:18, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Vk's current Banning Case
I've chosen to revert my 'vote' at that case, due to past sock-puppeting by Vk (which I forgot about). I shall remain neutral on the current case, as (to my knowledge) Vk hasn't socked 'since' his last Banning Case. GoodDay (talk) 19:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I gave my vote once which is sufficient. I wasn't aware of any sockpuppets, as I had assumed it was a matter of civilty.I'll let the others battle it out over at AN/I.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The socking hasn't occured since Vk's last Banning Case (over a year ago). Thus my reason for not voting for his ban. GoodDay (talk) 19:55, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Changed my mind, again. GoodDay (talk) 15:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Anna Maria Luisa, Electress Palatine of the Rhine
Hi, Jeanne! How are things? We haven't talked in a bit. Could I get your opinion on something? I'm finding conflicting details about the style of Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici everywhere! Some sources affirm the validity of the 1713 ruling by the Tuscan Senate creating her "Grand Princess of Tuscany" in the event of her brother's accession without male-heirs, while others simply subscribe to her Electoral style. Until I can prove otherwise, I've played it safe with "Her Most Serene Highness the Electress". However, as a Grand Princess of Tuscany, she may have enjoyed royal dignity -- I use may lightly, the only evidence I have to suggest this is Cosimo III's protocolary pleas to the court of Madrid to sanction the use of H.R.H. for his then heir-apparent, Ferdinando --, and when Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor repudiated the senate's ruling, did that mean it really became invalid? Did Charles VI infact have feudal rights over Tuscany? Or were they curtailed by the Peace of Westphalia in 1648? And if the legislation is proven to be technically valid, was she titular Grand Duchess of Tuscany? So many questions! -- Jack1755 (talk) 00:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe the best person to ask would be Surtsicna. He knows more about succession rights and titles than I do. Did Tuscany debar female succession? From what you say it sounds as if she was the titular Grand Duchess, but let Surtsicna give his reply. Cheers, Jack.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 05:59, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Like all of contemporary Italy, Jeanne, salic-law was applied in Tuscany. Although, if the act of 1713's validity substantiated, salic-law was abolished by the Tuscan Seante. Thanks for yout help! -- Jack1755 (talk) 14:04, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Jeanne, it was that author I told you about on wiki commons, their name is Acoma. I often have a look at their gallery and I find all sorts of stuff, I've no idea were they get them from. Have a look at the gallery, there's hundereds!--David (talk) 18:40, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I just had a look. Wow, that gallery is a goldmine!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:04, 14 November 2009 (UTC)




 * Secondarily, is that photo of you in '79 taken at Carmel? Swimmingly, Hamster Sandwich (talk) 04:16, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No, at Will Rogers State Beach, just north of Santa Monica. You can see the hills of Malibu in the distance. Incidentally, it's where Baywatch was filmed.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 05:53, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Darn it. GoodDay (talk) 19:28, 15 November 2009 (UTC)


 * There's a row of historic beach homes (May West; Douglas Fairbanks; Samuel Goldwyn...) down on the Santa Monica beachfront that I would love to see. The May West house appears to be some kind of Art Deco masterpiece! Architecturally, Hamster Sandwich (talk) 23:42, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I love Art Deco. My favourite Art Deco artist is Klimt.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:40, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Berengaria of Portugal
Hello Jeanne, have you seen the images posted onto Berengaria of Portugal's article? Should we leave them or do really want them? I'm surprised at the hair color, I thought it would be darker--David (talk) 18:24, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The image of her skull is really thrillingly macabre. I don't know if we should remove it. Why not post the question on the article's talk page, and see what other editors think?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:38, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!!
Oh my god, I'm so sorry for my late reply! I only just noticed your barnstar now -- I don't have my user page watchlisted. Thank you so much, Jeanne. -- Jack1755 (talk) 22:58, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Most of the water supply has been contaminated, and the remaininder shall be exhausted pretty soon! The Mercy Hospital and the Kingsley Hotel had to be evacuated in the early hours of the morning. Here is a brief summary of events: Herald.ie. -- Jack1755 (talk) 16:36, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * P.S. Dublin is fine! Although, greater Dublin was not as fortunate: Athlone doesn't have any electricity.
 * Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear about all the flooding. When you said deluge, I was reminded of Louis XV of France, when he said: "After me-the deluge".--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:54, 20 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Just dropping by to say bonjour & tell Jack I am worried about him not being able to swim...
 * Jeanne, Louis XV never said Après moi, le déluge, and if anyone ever said it, it may have been Mme de Pompadour, although the authorship of the phrase is much debated. One should always be careful with phrases taken out of their context, and their possible attribution to the wrong person.  Much like the famous S'ils n'ont pas de pain, qu'ils mangent de la brioche, which can be given several meanings, and which was not ever uttered by Marie Antoinette.
 * Aurevoir! Frania W. (talk) 22:55, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, Bonjour, Frania. I did not realise Louis XV never used those words. Thank you for informing me. Most Anglo biographers still attribute the phrase to him.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Excellent work, Jack! My compliments to you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. He commanded far less work than the Electress Palatine! Being a monarch, naturally, I guess he would get more references than his sister. His personal life seems to have been...erm... for lack of a better word, salacious. I consciously excluded a great deal of dubious information about it. Still no water for much of the city! Most schools re-opened today; however, Scoil Mhuire of Syndney Hill has been reduced to using a hotel lobby! Haha. Are you excited about X-Mas? -- Jack1755 (talk) 15:19, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Christmas popcorn parties

 * Not yet. In early December, I'll start decorating. Every Christmas, I build an enormous crib with over 300 personages.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:23, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Bah! Humbug! Jack forbes (talk) 15:34, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, you're no fun!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:36, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah! But you should see me on Hogmany. Hic!. This paragraph from the article kind of sums it up. In Glasgow and the central areas of Scotland, the tradition is to hold Hogmanay parties involving singing, dancing, the eating of steak pie or stew, storytelling and consumption of copious amounts of alcohol, which usually extend into the daylight hours of January 1. No steak pie and stew for me though. Jack forbes (talk) 15:39, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, Jeanne. That must have taken forever! Can't wait to see this year's. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Reminds me of the Christmas parties I used to give in Dublin, except that I served popcorn as well.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:55, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Smothered in chocolate, salt and butter, I should hope! -- Jack1755 (talk) 19:11, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing so exotic. Just salt, sans butter and chocolat.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:20, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm a popcorn (& tea) addict. Acutally, on the matter, I spilled tea all OVER a book yesterday. T'wasn't pretty! What is your favourite book of all time, Jeanne? Thank you for sending me the articles. I'll be sure to check them out when I have more time.  -- Jack1755 (talk) 20:31, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

 * What kind of girl do I take you for Jeanne? The very nicest around. Even if your knowledge of street slang is becoming just a little dated. Cheers, Daicaregos (talk) 15:23, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Ans: Both then and now. Daicaregos (talk)

Hmmm, well let me see. Nah, of course your cool Jeanne. I used to wear the flares myself in the seventies, but, erm, I'm not so sure they would look so cool on me now. Some people just always keep their cool and others let it fade away into memory. Jack forbes (talk) 15:56, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Do you know that in the case of the bridal couple being extremely young, a priest was required to insert his hand between the pair to make certain they were-ah, successfully engaged.

Well Jeanne, my worst nightmare has come true! The Pussycat Dolls have split up, this is really sad news to me and it's all Nicole Scherzinger's fault--David (talk) 19:37, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Agnes of Burgundy
Hello Jeanne, I've just finished an article on Agnes of Burgundy, Duchess of Aquitaine, she was the great great grandmother of Eleanor of Aquitaine, I think the pair have alot in common. And our friend on Wikicommons, Acoma supplied me with an image of Agnes. Cheers--David (talk) 16:33, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Mary Boleyn
Before you revert again, please study the history of the article (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mary_Boleyn&action=history) to see that 96.37.69.87 removed several referenced parts of the article, substituting or adding uncited conjecture. 96.37.69.87 was reverted on all points except for the one that I caught at a later time and reverted. If you intend to re-add the bit 96.37.69.87 added, please add a proper citation as well. Thank you. --58.174.75.123 (talk) 22:07, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Sultans of swing
The wreckers (deletionists) always win as nobody can resist the mighty glory of the wrecking ball as it swings into action, deleting every article in its path.

 * Comments please:

Moved pages
Hi Jeanne, we don't need to include titles in the name of an article if the person is already distinct. Melisende of Arsuf and Alice de la Roche have already been moved back, but would you mind moving the other ones (I'm sure it will be easier for you than for others to figure out which ones you moved!). Adam Bishop (talk) 15:19, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I have moved some back, but others are easier to figure out with their titles. You are right about Melisende and Alice though. Thanks for changing them.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:56, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Your edit summary. No more mister nice guy.
Are we going to see a new hard bitten and cynical Jeanne on wikipedia?

Channel Islands / my conduct
Hi Jeanne, I just read the comment you made on Jack Forbes talk page. I know myself I'm getting worn by the that "discussion" and my temper is running out of tether (indeed I advertised it earlier than I had planned because I lost patience).

These are fraught issues and keeping it cool is important. I don't know if I have. I don't know if I haven't. So I would be grateful if you (and others if they are watching) would comment on/criticizse on my civility/conduct on that discussion.

Thanks, --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 09:42, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * From my personal viewpoint your conduct is fine.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Wow. Those are some nice boots. Now all you need is a whip! -- Jack1755 (talk) 13:19, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

California Dreamin' (Like totally radical dude)
Want to see something funny? Jack forbes (talk) 21:10, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I saw that. What's his game, anyway? First he portrays himself as a Belfast loyalist, then as a Glaswegian, now as an American black guy. I personally don't think he's Irish, Scottish or black. He's just someone who is in need of attention, and likes to provoke others in order to gain it.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 21:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually what I said was that I was born in Belfast and raised there and in Glasgow, and that I consider myself both Irish and Scottish. My mother's an Ulster lass, dad was an African-American. A case of "I am the biggest mix up that you have ever seen: my mother she was orange, my father he was...black?"Irvine22 (talk) 00:23, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The reason I question your Belfast birth, and Scottish upbringing was your usage of the word color in your provocative message on Snowded's page. A person raised in Belfast and/or Glasgow would have automatically written colour. I rest my case.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:57, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's true that would be my automatic inclination, but one I have learned to check after two decades living and working in the U.S.Irvine22 (talk) 14:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I do think he is a loyalist. Irish or Scots, I don't know. The only thing I am certain of is that he is a troll. Jack forbes (talk) 21:23, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * A black troll, or a white troll? spots or stripes? GoodDay (talk) 21:26, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think he's ever been out of the USA. He probably googled a How to Speak Norn Iron site. The way he writes is just too OTT to be genuine.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 21:29, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Och, you're just jealous 'cause I talk so gallus and you've never lost your nasal Calfornia twang, so you huv'nae. Irvine22 (talk) 00:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah man, I am like absolutely, like totally, like, hey man, like like squirming (no writhing) with jealousy that I'm not you. Oh God, how can you be like, so like totally cruel not to make me Irvine22?!!!! (or being a Californian, should replace cruel with mean, although you would of course realise that word has a different meaning on the other side of the Atlantic-I do mean the ocean not the square on the Monopoly game). As my wee boyfriend from Omagh used to say, Wise up or in Norn Iron: Ways uup. BTW, Californians don't have a twang, we have a laid-back breathless sort of drawl when using vowels, a very clear enunciation of the consanants, with a strong emphasis on the letter r; also we have a tendency to run our words together and use fillers such as "like", "man", "really", and "you know". Therefore, Irvine, I can now conclude that you have never been to California, either.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:49, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Your representation of California dialect has a nice 70s retro feel. Also quite white and coastal: my African-American and Latino employees don't talk like that at all. Neither does my PA, a white lass fae Bakersfield, whose speech carries distinct traces of her Scots-Irish Okie forebears! (Contemporary CA is much more diverse than you probably remember it - you should come back some time, I'll show you around the old neighbo(u)rhood!) Irvine22 (talk) 15:08, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Besides, anybody can claim anything on this project. It's rather difficult to proove such claims. GoodDay (talk) 21:31, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Aye, you're right there. And the most frequent claim folk seem to make on here is that they are engaged in "building an encyclopedia", something I see precious little proof for.Irvine22 (talk) 00:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 21:32, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Tut, tut, Irvine. I do hope that wasn't a sectarian remark. Jack forbes (talk) 01:04, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Read a newspaper once in a while, will you? Other than the Daily Record, I mean. Irvine22 (talk) 01:09, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, the Daily Record. Do you get it sent over? I agree with Jeanne, you've never lived in Glasgow in your life. A wee visit to castle greyskull is the longest you've been there. Jack forbes (talk) 01:18, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Technically you are correct - I lived in East Renfrewshire. And, no, I can live just fine without the Record! Irvine22 (talk) 01:21, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Well Irvine, all I can say in rebuttal to your rather unpleasant little comment to Jack1755 in regards to his Christian Brothers school, is that if one compares his high-quality contributions to your trollish inanities, it becomes patently obvious that you definitely could have benefitted from a Christian Brothers education. Once again, I rest my case.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:07, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, your case certainly needs a rest. It's pretty tired. Irvine22 (talk) 14:55, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Paula Abdul
In a slightly off topic comment (well, related to the picture). Am I the only one who always presumed Paula Abdul was black? But shes actually Jewish according to her article. :$ - Yorkshirian (talk) 08:26, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Many people had assumed she was black at the beginning of her career. I recall a friend of mine, who was black, telling me back in about 1990 that Paula was of Middle-Eastern ancestry.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:36, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * LOL, Yorkshirian. I'm having the same problem with Mariah Carey. What ethnicity is she? I think she's Hispanic; hitherto, I thought she was white. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Jack, I believe Mariah's father is African-American and her mother is Irish.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:35, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, Jeanne! -- Jack1755 (talk) 21:05, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I broke down
I broke down today and created another article. I guess the purchase of my new boots has put me in a better frame of mind.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:55, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Never fear to create articles, no matter how risky it is. GoodDay (talk) 16:04, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Just keep creating article Jeanne you are doing great work, I know I put 2 of your articles up for deletion The Max Lazer one and Sable Star one but they weren't notable per wiki guidelines, I have to admit I am of the deletionist mindset, I do a lot of new page patrolling and the amount of non notable articles created daily is unbelievable do we really need an article on a school in the middle of some tiny little town in the middle of nowhere or one on another Pokemon character, IMO no, but as I said at the start don't stop creating articles and if any are put up for deletion let me know about them and I will have a look at them also. BigDunc  20:25, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, Big Dunc. Can I ask, if we don't need an article on a school in the middle of some tiny little town in the middle of nowhere, do you think we need an article on the tiny little town? Jack forbes (talk) 21:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Personally I don't think we need an article on this person here:L'Wren Scott, as her only claim to fame is in being the girlfriend (among how many others?!) of Mick Jagger. In point of fact, I put up the notability template.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:26, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I suppose with a Town it has merit in a geographic sense. But the school in the town IMO would not be notable. BigDunc  16:21, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:15, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Vitamin C
I read your recent contribution Jim "Dandy" Mangrum, and I thought I would relate a little story... I once had some members of a notable group over to my house after they had performed (because I am a horrible groupie, who likes to feed bands good home cooked meals). I asked one of them, "What has been your most memorable "Celebrity Encounter?" The female member of the group related that they had once been on the same bill as Black Oak Arkansas, and had been thrilled by the booking, because Jim Dandy had been a childhood crush of hers. She went on to say that upon meeting Mr. Mangrum in person, she couldn't help but notice that (and I quote), "It looked like he had a couple of grapefruits stuffed down his pants. No really, he had the biggest pair I have ever seen..." Much laughter ensued. Considering that this band had opened for Guns'n'Roses as well as Red Hot Chili Peppers on their world tours, putting Jim Dandy up there with those acknowledged heavyweights is quite a compliment. Too bad people forget about all the great bands from the 70's that weren't Zep or the Stones. Or even the Dickies and the Fab Poo's. Peace! Hamster Sandwich (talk) 20:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * David Lee Roth shamelessly copied Jim Dandy's image and persona. He even had the same long blond hair and strut. I can remember always hearing the song Jim Dandy at the beach back in 1973.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 20:29, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Jack1755 never ceases to amaze me by the high quality of his articles and contributions. It's hard to believe he's only 15. IMO, he's one of Wikipedia's most skilled editors on historical articles. The amount of work he puts into his articles is staggering. We need more like Jack1755 here instead of gung-ho deletionists who go around putting up historical articles for AfD, and thus depriving readers of information.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:04, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * He certainly knows what he's doing. That's what a good education can do for you. Jack forbes (talk) 17:10, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That's so sweet of you, Jeanne! And thank you, too, Jack. It took many hours of trvoing around google books to make it what it is now! Unfortunately, very little is written about her in English language books; there are at least 3 Italian and 2 German biographys availible. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:18, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposed WikiProject
I have made a proposal to establish a WikiProject for British-Irish Collaboration. A number of proposals are currently being made around initiates to improve collaboration between British and Irish editors on topics of mutual interest. A number of initiates have been adapted in the past, with varying degrees of success, but all positive in their intent to resolve these issues. A centralised WikiProject for British-Irish collaboration could act as a focus for initiatives to improve collaboration on these topics.

As an editor that has recently taken part in discussions around initiates like these, please comment on the proposal to establish a WikiProject for this purpose. Please also circulate this notice to other editors you feel may be interested. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 13:53, 13 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I've created a basic page at WikiProject British-Irish Collaboration with some starting ideas and marked the page with a brainstorming template. As someone who replied to the proposal, please contribute some ideas or comments on the page. Thanks, --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 22:15, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Hate to bother you...
...with something as trivial as this, but what do you think of this portrait of the Electress Anna Maria Luisa? I'm having trouble deciding. There's just so many! I really like the faux, plumed Roman helmet. -- Jack1755 (talk) 23:38, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It's an interesting portrait. Go ahead and put it in the article, but not in the infobox.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you select a portrait you think apporpriate? Anna Maria Luisa @ commons -- Thanks! I checked out Anne Hastings; it's a lovely article. I simply added two commas and specified whose wife Queen Catherine was. That provoked a thought for me, "wasn't [Henry and Catherine's] marriage annulled"? And then another, "if so, I wonder can she be called queen"? -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:39, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Now I've got a job for you, Jeanne! Could you check Anna Maria Luisa for over florid prose? Thanks! -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:42, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The article is perfect, Jack. I didn't find any florid, overblown prose. I don't care for the helmuted-portrait as the infobox image. Personally, I prefer the image I've placed here.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. Feel free to insert the Boit portrait! Thanks. Would you mind copy and pasting your testimony here? My X-Mas exams started today! :O -- Jack1755 (talk) 16:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Time for a cup of coffee me thinks. Got to stay warm somehow. Brrrr. Jack forbes (talk) 07:25, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * A cup of rich hot chocolate will get you warmer than coffee or tea.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No hot chocolate I'm afraid. I suppose I could run up and down on the spot, but I don't have the energy. Where are you spending your Christmas Jeanne? I'm off to London for a few days of merriment. Jack forbes (talk) 07:38, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Lucky you to be off to London. I'm afraid I'll be stuck here in my boring village.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:40, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sure you'll find something to cheer you up and you do have your kids there. You are also a very fortunate girl to have that beautiful view from your house. There are people out there that would give their eye teeth for that. Jack forbes (talk) 07:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Happy Birthday, Keith!!
Happy Birthday, Keith. To me you'll always be like you were in 1972! (JB's comment above)
 * Here to celebrate with you, I know Mick Taylor did the lead on this but the band is Keith's – singalong now: "Well, when you're sitting there, in your silk upholstered chair/Talkin' to some rich folk that you know/Well I hope you won't see me, in my ragged company/Well, you know I could never be alone" HBKR, see you at Sarah's. Sswonk (talk) 15:05, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Take me down little Suzy, take me down/I know you think you're the queen of the underground..... Do you think Suzy was legendary groupie Suzy Creamcheese? Taylor was a very good guitarist, he just lacked charisma and had no stage presence. I saw the Stones live twice with Mick Taylor, and he was totally upstaged by Keith.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:13, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I got no idea, but sometimes it's like everyone at that stage was Anita Pallenberg. I caught Some Girls in Hampton, VA during the first weeks of the tour before the songs became classics. There are some good videos from that tour out there. Sswonk (talk) 15:46, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If there was such a thing as parallel time, I'd love to have been Anita Pallenberg in the 1960s and early 1970s. What a life! She defined cool.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:51, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * She was definitely a force, and aficionados know how much. Mick's lyrics and star power define the public view, but it is and always has been Keith's band and she as his wife played a major role for ten years. Your idea sounds like mine where I wake up one day and I'm in Boston in 1775. It's essential to have a strong imagination. Sswonk (talk) 16:15, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I also like to imagine I'm at the courts of Henry VIII and Richard III of England. Some would say I have too much imagination.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:58, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Taking precautions
Howdy Jeanne. As ya know, there's been alot of UK related discussions at my talkpage lately. In appreciation that they could become 'heated' (due to my views), I've left a message to those who might become too emotional at those discussions. PS: You're not one of those emotionals.

Happy Xmas to you aswell Jeanne, from my alter egos. GoodDay (talk) 15:53, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Troll! Troll!
No! bouncers, please wait I am only making a suggestion. Jeanne, I must continue my lobbying efforts on behalf of Jefferson Airplane, certainly there must be an explanation for your omission of them here and on the front page. It is not a strong resemblance but I do think you favor Grace Slick (also here and here) a little bit. Also, in light of some of the disco-y-er musical selections I recommend Detroit techno band Inner City, listen here. Listen to Paris Grey sing more than a couple of times and you will be hooked. I guess I'll have to grant you blanket dispensation, however, for including both the Sex Pistols and Kate Bush in the same list, that indicates you share with me an open mind. Sswonk (talk) 14:51, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I also like Simon and Garfunkle, Tchaikovsky, Percy Faith, Tom Jones, and The Monkees, so I suppose my musical tastes are pretty eclectic.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merry Christmas to you by the way. I like all of those, and really like Loretta Lynn although many people draw the line at C&W. In your California days, did you ever hear a DJ named Charles Laquidara or listen to the station where he worked, KPPC? They were on the avant-garde of eclectic FM radio, pioneers of the free-form movement away from Top 40. I've read that playlists including a variety of artists such as you've listed were not out of the question there. Charles is a Mass native, ended up leaving Pasadena, coming back to Boston in the seventies and ruling rock radio here for 25 years. He became rich enough to retire to Maui, where he is today. Sswonk (talk) 17:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Never heard of him. I was a big fan of Jim Ladd on KMET (a little bit of heaven, 94.7), then I started listening to KROQ as they played a lot of punk and ska music.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:42, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You were probably just a year or two too young for KPPC. Reading the KMET article points out that the histories of both stations were intertwined, with KPPC being the first, then flaming out to be replaced by KMET on the spectrum. The soul and spirit of the musical presentations were very similar. There is an excellent history of the period called Riding on the Ether Express, this summary mentions many of the personalities you may have also heard on KMET. Sswonk (talk) 18:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I was shocked to discover today 2 days ago, that Jack had considered me a 'troll' (due to my views at my talkpage). I've sent a 'Happy Holidays' message, as a good will gesture. GoodDay (talk) 18:38, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Really GoodDay? You discovered it today? Then I'm confused. What did your post here (two days ago) relate to? Daicaregos (talk) 22:11, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It does look mysterious, eh? GoodDay (talk) 22:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * One school of thought, I suppose. Is it a mystery to you? Daicaregos (talk) 22:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll be more honest about it. I did discover it 2-days ago & was quite angry about it. But now, I'm willing to let it go. GoodDay (talk) 22:43, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Honesty is a good policy in these things. However, the cause of Jack's actions remains. What could possible lead you to believe he want's to let it go? It may even look as if you were stirring things up, given that #1 Jack is (as you know) away, and #2 the post I referred to earlier. Apologies to Jeanne - this should not be here. Daicaregos (talk) 22:53, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm, my 'Holiday message' (at Jack's) & 'new message' at my talkpage, have been deleted. Dai's correct, they might be seen as baiting. Best to wait until Jack returns. GoodDay (talk) 23:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!
Hello Jeanne and GoodDay, merry christmas! How are you both, any new projects? I've been focusing more on Polish royalty, especially the Masovian branch of the House of Piast. They really did like their power, they were going to war with eachother every week because of some disputed claim on a small town. Rage Against the Machine's Killing in the Name got Christmas #1 over here because people were sick of X Factor getting the top spot at Christmas every year, the noughties has gone out on a high! Thank You--David (talk) 20:16, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merry Christmas to you. I've been creating a lot of articles on Tudor women as I love the 16th century, and there's a lot of info on the noblewomen of the period.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:44, 23 December 2009 (UTC).

That sounds great Jeanne, I see you've worked alot on Anne Boleyn's family. I'm in the middle of creating an article on Mary of Guise's grandmother and Mary, Queen of Scots' great-grandmother, Philippa of Guelders I wondered if you knew anything more about her? The Masovian family have a few daughters and wives that may make interesting articles but I can't find enough information about them. Cheers--David (talk) 10:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Lucky, you're closer to Christmas, then I am. GoodDay (talk) 21:21, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Apparently...
...the word scion is so incredibly incomprehensible that it cannot feature in Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici -- ridiculous! -- Jack1755 (talk) 23:10, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!!!!!!!! Are you serious? How could scion be construed as florid? It features in all historical books as well as encyclopedias and newspaper articles, the scion of an important family, etc. Wow, this really is over the top. And sad.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Merry Christmas
Hi Jeanne:

Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a great 2010!

Granny Takes a Trip
Help someone has nominated Linda Jackson (designer) for deletion, just after I started work on it. If you look at my work, including The Pheasantry which I created from scratch, including photos, and in Granny Takes a Trip and other articles such as Jenny Kee, you see I am creating a lot of material on designers and the counterculture of the 1960s. I still have work to do on the Jackson article - she was a business partner of Jenny Kee who is undoubtedly notable (there is a film (Hippie Hippie Shake) appearing about her next year) and she has featured in exhibitions at the V&A. Obviously I need to do some further research on Linda and I don't appreciate having to store it on my own computer in case it is deleted. Is there anything you can do to help? This place (Wikipedia) seems dominated by teenage males who create thousands of articles about porn stars and video games, I don't see why anyone should object to my restoring the balance a bit :o) West one girl (talk) 16:08, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh cool that's you in the Granny Takes a Trip dress! Amazing. And yes happy birthday Keith! There is still work to be done on the Redlands bust. West one girl (talk) 16:10, 19 December 2009 (UTC)


 * What's a Granny Takes a Trip dress? Daicaregos (talk) 16:35, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Look at me at the top of the page.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:45, 19 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Granny Takes a Trip was my favourite clothing shop. The California branch was located in West Hollywood. All the clothes were English-imported and in the glam rock-style. It was wild. Too bad you cannot see my shoes in the photo; I got them from Granny's, and they were ruby red satin wedged platforms with a diamante clasp.....ah, too gear for words.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:25, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. It's a brand/shop name. I thought it was pejorative. Jeanne, you looked fabulous. Daicaregos (talk) 09:12, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. The photo of me in the red granny dress was taken on my 16th birthday. The photo on the right a month before.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:18, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * A complete stab in the dark (re: previous owner) - Priscilla Presley? Daicaregos (talk) 18:39, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Dai, stab again! The singer in question has wilder stage antics than Elvis could ever have dreamed up. Another clue: His dark-haired (ex) wife was a fashion icon of the 1970s.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Stab # 2: Angela Bowie. Am I at least getting warm? Daicaregos (talk) 09:54, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Dai, if only you could just make my feet 15 years old, I would gladly hobble around in those platforms, just as I did in 1973 and 1974 (granny takes a trip-ha ha). "Angie" is certainly warmer than Priscilla, but it wasn't her dress. Another clue: The singer is English; however, he does exellent American southern accent impersonations, but his Irish accent is ludicrous.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:00, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. Based on clues so far - my third and final stab is Bianca Jagger. As no one else is playing, please put me out of my misery and tell me if I'm right (or whisper the answer in my ear). Daicaregos (talk) 11:23, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * (Jeanne whispers in Dai's ear: "By George, you've got it!!!!")--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:11, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Whoop, whoop. (ahem) The first two were just to sight the target. :) How did you get hold of the dress then Jeanne? Daicaregos (talk) 13:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * There was a fantastic shop on Sunset Strip called Strip Thrills. Well the owner was the wife of a musician who was close friends with the Jaggers. Bianca and Mick stayed at their house and Bianca apparantly left her dress behind; when she was informed, she told the owner to go ahead and sell it as it was too long for her (Bianca is about 5'4 whereas I'm 5'8). As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it, and as you can see in the photo-it was a prefect fit. I recall it cost 150 dollars. I had already bought it when I was informed of its history which made me even more exited to own it! This took place back in late 1973 when I was 15 and a half.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks by the way. We must get to talk about that glam rock thing some day.West one girl (talk) 16:01, 22 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I was reading through the thread, and I was thinking Angie Bowie, and then Pamela Des Barres, but Bianca kind of tops them both (IMO)! Here's a strange story... I was watching a documentary film recently, called FlicKeR. It had all kinds of rocknroll peoples in it; Iggy; Marianne Faithful, along with whom I thought was Anita Pallenberg. I was thinking, "Holy Jeebuz, Anita is really looking rough these days..." It turns out that it wasn't Anita at all... when the credits rolled, I was absolutely astonished to find out it was Genesis P. Orridge! I haven't been keeping up with the Throbbing Gristle/Psychic T.V. for a while now, and the whole thing was kind of surprising to me. Judge+Book+Cover=Wrong. Let me wish you all the best for the holidays, and the coming year. Hamster Sandwich (talk) 22:50, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Happy Holidays to you as well, Hamster. Speaking of Iggy Pop, I recall seeing him at a David Bowie concert in 1974, and he was wearing see-through trousers!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:52, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Lapsang Souchong tea
They had it in the little Seoul restaurant I went into today, they served some Chinese food. I didn’t have it, but the plum tea was very nice. So was the fish soup noodles, along with the Kimchi and various other mostly spicy side dishes. Drinks for some reason are fairly expensive here, but not food. My plum tea was 4000KRW ! (About £2) and the noodles were 6000KRW ! Not much of a difference, and there were a lot of noodles. Regards, --Misortie (talk) 16:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Plum tea and noodles. Do you think it would catch on here Frank? Jack forbes (talk) 14:43, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Spicy seafood noodles sounds delicious, plum tea not really. Ah, to be sipping Lapsang Souchong on a hotel balcony with that intoxicating cityscape spread out below me....You're lucky, Misortie.

Speedy, speedy
Hi, Jeanne. I created a little article and before I had even copied the text from my sandbox it had been put up for speedy deletion. Swear to god, it must have been done within twenty seconds. Some people just don't have the sense they were born with. Anyway, I quickly removed the tag which will probably upset the poor little bureaucrat. Hehe. Jack forbes (talk) 22:54, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I know what you're talking about, Jack. An article of mine, Catherine de' Medici, Governor of Siena, was tagged for citing no sources not 2 minutes after its creation! Some people, indeed. -- Jack1755 (talk) 02:15, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That's why I'm so pissed off with the deletion policy here. I once came upon an article that had been created two months previously about a non-existant historical person, yet that article wasn't even nominated for deletion!!!! How that managed to pass the new page patrollers, I don't know. I put it up for deletion myself, pointing out that there weren't many 15th-century women named Amanda who went to an private American school! I tell you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:19, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Jack in all honesty the article was like that when the tag was added for being a test page. BigDunc  21:44, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, your right, for two minutes. Less if I hadn't been interrupted. The tag was actually put in place in less than a minute. It was far too quick off the mark. Can't people be given five minutes? Jack forbes (talk) 21:53, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah they should wait especially when they see it is an established editor that is creating the article and not just a new account. But if you come over and start doing a bit of new page patrol you will see the amount of rubbish that is created. I always check the contributions of the editor crating it usually gives a good indication of their intentions. BigDunc  22:09, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sure there is a lot of rubbish created that has to be speedy deleted but a tiny amount of patience wouldn't go amiss. Something I'm sure you have Dunc. Jack forbes (talk) 22:24, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Not sure about that ;) But why did you save the page with just "q" on it and wait 3 minutes to add some content in the taggers defense it is a reasonable conclusion that it was a test page and that was the criteria they stated as a reason to delete. BigDunc  22:30, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That light in my face sure is bright! First off, I wouldn't have waited three minutes if that big tag hadn't appeared. Secondly, I hadn't created an article for some time so before I cut and pasted my text from my sandpage I was checking it out. Do you have to be trained in interrogation before you join the new patrol team? ;) Jack forbes (talk) 22:38, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Alice of Champagne
Hello Jeanne, hope you had a great christmas. I've expanded the article of Philippa's sister Alice. I hope you don't mind that I used your family paragraph from Philippa. I'm surprised Alice only had a stub, she seems to be a respectable medieval women and could have ruled Champagne, Cyprus and Jerusalem without a husband. Is it any good? I was also hoping to upgrade the class she's in like what Jack did with Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, but I don't know how. Cheers--David (talk) 21:38, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Also the usual bottles of spumante, cakes, chocolates, biscuits which are placed and wrapped in large baskets; these are popular Christmas presents in Italy. My daughter, Tatiana received her own PC. What about you, Jack?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:20, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Books, clothes and some random surprises. You must show us your dress; upload a few pics! The books I got -- since I adore older books -- are somewhat moldy, and apparently if you sniff them for long periods of time you can get high :p. Anyway, I hope Tatiana likes her pc! I re-opened the case for Anna Maria Luisa becasue the previous case closed just as I had all the issues corrected! I'd hate to canvass, but would you wind renewing your yes vote? Thanks! -- Jack1755 (talk) 02:15, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Will do. As for the pics, I'll upoad them when I get the opportunity to wear it. It's too nice to wear for everyday, so I'm saving it for dining out. I've some old out-of-print books myself. One is a bio on Barbara Palmer called The Great Villiers. The binding is fern-green with gold lettering.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:15, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It seems a certain someone deleted my nomination. I have been disconent with some of wikipedia's policies for a long time now, but seeing her blatant lack of insight in a message on my talk page has finally pushed me into retirement. -- Jack1755 (talk) 15:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't be rash, Jack. We need good, hard-working, creative editors like you. Please do not cut off your nose to spite your face; you obviously like editing and writing articles, so don't let the deletionists provoke you into retiring from the project.

 * Your time stamp says you lie! (Happy new year!)--Misortie (talk) 23:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * My time stamp does not display CET time. Believe me it was after midnight when I made my edit as the mountainside was bursting with fireworks like exploding Christmas trees. My son was also setting off firecrackers and fountains outside our house. Happy New Year to you too--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:55, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Happy New Year everyone, this is my first edit of 2010!--David (talk) 11:51, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. Jeanne, do you know why Jack has left, is it to with speedy deletion and the tagging of articles?--David (talk) 11:56, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Happy New Year, Jeanne. I'm sure when Jack calms down a wee bit he'll return. Jack forbes (talk) 12:39, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Thank you. Who are these some who don't appreciate the mature charms of an experienced older woman? Like Jagger says, What a drag it is getting old.... Of course he and Keith wrote this back in 1966 before the advent of 50 plus sexpots such as Madonna and Sharon Stone--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:26, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Ireland's blasphemy law?
Am I imagining this, has Ireland actually passed this law? which is against freedom of expression. GoodDay (talk) 16:21, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That's been on the statute book since summer 2009, GoodDay! Now shut-up and get back to praying, or else the government will stick you with a E25,000 fine!!!!!! -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:51, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The Irish government must've thought I was gonna visit, thus their blasphemy laws. GoodDay (talk) 19:02, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hot damn! And I thought Lamar County, Texas-where I spent two years- had bizarre laws.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:04, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Stupendously reactionary, isn't it? Not quite mandatory public flogging, for anybody who dares to insult the name of Our Lady. But enough to send the hearts of theocrats across the world fluttering. Happy New Year to all by the way, unfortunate to see that Jack has re-retired already; he was one of the good guys. - Yorkshirian (talk) 06:36, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hopefully he will return.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:07, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Jack1755
It's all gone t**s up I'm afraid. You'll have to read the talk page history. Jack forbes (talk) 20:26, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

This is the 2nd time within a week he's retired. I didn't know about the 1st retirement 'til today. GoodDay (talk) 20:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * He retired the first time due to anger that one of his articles wasn't classed as FA, plus other little bits and pieces he wasn't happy with. I posted this to one of those who refused his FA, hoping he could persuade him to come out of retirement. Unfortunately, it went down hill from there. Jack forbes (talk) 20:45, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I hope Jack1755 will return. He's just gotta except that once one creates an article, it instantly become a public article. I'm confident he'll return. GoodDay (talk) 20:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I hope he does too. Getting an article up to FA is not easy. I had been told that a while back when I had wanted to nominate someone's article for FA, and the creator of the article told me it wasn't ready yet for FAC. I have seen how articles nominated for FAC-and indeed for GA are sharply scrutinised down to the last detail. Jack did wonderful work here and he'll be missed. He was erudite, creative, a fantastic writer and very pleasant. It's a pity he has decided to leave the project. I'll miss him as will a lot of other people.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:14, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmmmmm....did he give a reason for leaving the second time? I don't know what we can do, maybe is best to just leave him now. I'm off school today due to the snow lol!--David (talk) 10:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm off again today and tommorrow due to snow and ice. Any word from Jack yet? And Jeanne I've finished an article on Helvis of Ibelin, half-sister of Isabella I of Jerusalem. Cheers--David (talk) 16:37, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I saw where England was snowed in, however, it's quite warm here. Your latest article is good. No, I haven't yet heard from Jack, as he hasn't posted on his talk page. His User page has been deleted at his request. He is always welcome to E-mail me. I've my E-mail address on my User page.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:27, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Does that address work Jeanne? Please check your inbox for 21 December. An acknowledgment would be appreciated. Cheers, Daicaregos (talk) 12:44, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Forwarded. Does the new address work Jeanne? Acknowledgment of receipt would still be appreciated. Cheers, Daicaregos (talk) 16:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm Bored
Hello Jeanne, I need some new articles to create but I have nobody. I would've liked to create one on Judith of Austria, daughter of Albert I of Germany seeing I've created articles on all his other daughters but I can't find any information about her. Do you know of any possible articles? I'm even open to some english ones. I'd also like to ask, how hard do you have to work to get a barnstar or a reward? Because most editors here have rewards and I'm yet to get one, does one of the main guys at wikipedia redward them? Cheers--David (talk) 13:50, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh Jeanne! Thank You so much, I didn't know you could send me one. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Your the best!--David (talk) 19:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Help!
Hello Jeanne, I've been back creating articles for the Masovian branch of the House of Piast and I've stumbled on a puzzle. I've been looking at the final members of the family before Masovia became part of Poland. There was four children born to Konrad III Rudy and Anna Radziwiłł: Anna of Masovia, Janusz III of Masovia, Stanislaus I of Masovia and Sophia.

Look at this image Sophia is not on it for some reason and she did live well into adulthood. The image is of Anna and her brothers, but Sophia is not on it and their referred to the last Masovians. Sophia was not even the first of the four to die plus she married and had children, look at these. Jeanne, do you know anything about Sophia or somewhere where I could find some answers because it's bugging me. I know after Sophia and the brothers died Anna tried to claim Masovia but wasn't allowed it because she was a woman and her only child was female. Though Sophia's children could have claimed it but for some reason they didn't. Did Sophia fall out with her family? Cheers--David (talk) 15:25, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

I've just found out that Sophia and Anna where the final siblings living so Sophia could've claimed Masovia for herself and her children but she didn't and this is more reason for her to be in the painting. I need answers--David (talk) 15:28, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not ask Surtsicna? He might be able to help you out here.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:41, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Strange Anne Boleyn image
Jeanne, I had to message you this image of Anne Boleyn, because it seemed so unusual. Henry looks like a mix between Robin Hood and the Jolly Green Giant haha. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a woman hunt before. I wonder where this nifty little pic could be put to use on Wikipedia. - Yorkshirian (talk) 06:14, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * It's a lovely pic. Anne Boleyn was a keen huntress. In point of fact, she often accompanied Henry on hunting expeditions. I shall upload this to Anne Boleyn article ASAP. Thank you ever so much, Yorkshirian.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:23, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Ironically, since the 25th amemdment was past in 1967, the Vice Presidency has been quite stable. GoodDay (talk) 19:15, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I never realised there were so many VP vacancies. Wow, you know a lot. I'm impressed.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:23, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I've a boring life. GoodDay (talk) 19:24, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Not with all that knowledge at your fingertips. You must have some library at home.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:25, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm a book worm. Also, I've found the Vice Presidency more interesting, then the Presidency. PS: Another fun-fact - since the 25th amendement was passed (1967), every incumbent President (since then) who sought re-election, kept his Vice President on the ticket. Note: Ford & Rockefeller (weren't elected). GoodDay (talk) 19:29, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I wonder how US history would have been had LBJ decided being VP was worth less than a bucket of warm piss?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:33, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Starting with the FDR Aministration, the VPs were gradually giving more responisbilities. I liked Daniel Webster's views on the Vice Presidency (19th century), when offered the Whig party Veep nomination (forget which year), he said he didn't want to buried until he was dead.

images
Hi, Jeanne. I know your an expert on this. Could you tell me how to transfer a photo I uploaded to commons onto wikipedia? Jack forbes (talk) 16:28, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Easily. Just copy down the exact name of the file. When you edit the article where you wish to add the article type this sequence: name of file.jpg. That's it. Try it and let me know if you have any more problems. Big Dunc taught me how to do it!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:31, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll give it a go, Jeanne. Jack forbes (talk) 16:33, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It's easy once you get the hang of it. It took me quite a few attempts before i finally figureed it out.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:37, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Great stuff. I've put it on my user page. Yer a wee darlin, Jeanne. Thanks. Jack forbes (talk) 16:45, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Did he fall off his perch? Don't worry, he'll go to canary heaven. Jack forbes (talk) 16:54, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Reminds me, my own cat was staring intently at my two baby Budgerigars…Must be careful. They aren’t chickens.--大輔 泉 (talk) 16:56, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No, what happened was that my cat knocked her cage over this morning; as it was broken, she fell out and Tony clawed her. I found her intact so he didn't try to eat her. He was probably playing with her. Poor wee bird, I'll give her a proper burial tomorrow in the orchard. I'm sad because I've had her all these years.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I had a Budgie once. It was only a couple of mouthfuls, though it did taste a little like chicken. Yum Yum. Jack forbes (talk) 17:01, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

 * What manor house?! I live in a Sicilian village with a dramatic view of Mount Etna, and we have an orchard full of lemon and orange trees that stretches all the way to the woods, which go on all the way up to Etna.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:21, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Don't forget though, that sucker is going to blow one day. You don't have that worry in your back garden, Frank. Jack forbes (talk) 17:29, 28 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Jeanne will cook well.--大輔 泉 (talk) 17:33, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry to hear about your canary, Jeanne! I bet pasta is on the menu tonight @ chez Jeanne. Just an educated guess. hehe. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:38, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, we should have a some kind of memorial service for little Bianca. Drinks and nibbles after the service. Jack forbes (talk) 17:41, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * If she does blow, I'll have a ringside view from my bedroom, and I'll be forever preserved in ash like those mummies at Pompei. Anyroad, I already experienced a volcanic eruption at my front door, and Etna hath no fury like a woman wrongfully labelled a slut by a teenager.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:46, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds as if you were still in your "No More Mr Nice Guy" phase. Not a pretty sight, I'm sure. Anyway, my condolences Jeanne. Always sad when you lose a pet. But please, no more captive birds. They are wild creatures and should be free. Daicaregos (talk) 17:51, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I shall go down to the Catholic church in my Village and light a prayer candle for her. Even though I'm not Catholic...--大輔 泉 (talk) 17:54, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Dai. No, I've explained on GoodDay's talk page what happened. My 14 yr old daughter called her 27 yr old cousin a slut and all hell broke loose. She and her mum arrived at my door the cousin (27 mind) threatening to break my daughter's face, which is a common Italian threat which would not have been wise to carry out on the daughter of a woman descended from both Norman and Celtic warriors. Actually I was in my sweet, sweet thing mood.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:04, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Girls, honestly. 27 year old ran and got her mummy? Priceless.--大輔 泉 (talk) 18:09, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I swaer. Not only that but her mum asked me, "Jenny, if someone called you a slut, wouldn't you react like my daughter?" I replied: "No I'd laugh and then ask if she wanted lessons".--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

RIP Bianca
Well, Bianca has just been buried in the orchard beside the orange trees. Six years is a long time to spend with a pet, and I shall miss it terribly. Bye bye, Bianca. --Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:34, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * RIP Bianca... Enjoy your flight in Heaven! Allyson Stephenson (talk) 19:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Alyson, what a lovely, uplifting sentiment. I miss her so much.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Its always hard losing a pet. I never had any pets growing up and when I got my own house, I got a dog that we had for about a year. She LOVE to run outside and since we live out in the country, it wasn't a big deal. She started to come home less and less, till she was home maybe once a week (we think she was sleeping at a neibors house down the road, then she didn't come back. I just hope shes safe and warm somewhere :) Allyson Stephenson (talk) 20:17, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Jeanne, I know how you feel. My pet Pekin bantam called Pandora (Or mini hen no.1 as I nicknamed her) died in the summer of 2006, shortly after raising four healthy chicks. She was a feisty little hen with a lot of attitude (Unlike her sister, who is as passive and timid as ever) and when she died of a mysterious illness I was heartbroken. Some people may see small birds as something not worth getting upset about, but if only they knew. (PS, and in some shameless self-promotion, please add me on Facebook if anyone here has it XD!)--大輔 泉 (talk) 20:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

 * My sincerest condolences, Jeanne. I've had my cat, Bubonic, for 7 years now and I'd be lost without him. --Kansas Bear (talk) 07:43, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Hey guys! Here you are talking about your... beloved cats when, in the present case, the cat having "mauled" the bird to death is the villain!!!  Jeanne, I hope that you used your Tony's talents at time of burial & had him help you dig the grave and sing Requiem in pace...  Bianca mia! --Frania W. (talk) 16:15, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Dom Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil
Hello! I have been working for quite some time by now in Pedro II of Brazil article. I've divided it in several articles (I've just finished Early life of Pedro II of Brazil) that goes from his birth to the the period beyond his death. The problem is that I am only one and can't do everything by myself. I've been trying to write on articles related to the Empire of Brazil (Honório Carneiro Leão, Marquis of Paraná, Afonso, Prince Imperial of Brazil, Platine War, etc...) but I could use some help. There is no need at all to know anything about Brazilian history. Do you know could I get some? Thank you very much, --Lecen (talk) 13:49, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Question
I had a quick question for you Jeanne, and I wasn't really sure who to ask. When people edit pages and what not, sometimes there is a number next to the name (+250) or whatnot. What does this mean? Why does it change? Sorry I know its a silly question, but I really wasn't sure who else to ask! Allyson Stephenson (talk) 13:06, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Hey guys. The number refers to the amount of characters removed or added in a single edit. -- Jack1755 (talk) 15:40, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok so it depends on the last post the user does and changes after the next one? So if people are taking out a lot of text, then they would have a large number? Allyson Stephenson (talk) 15:46, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It refers to the number of bytes on the page. Check the history on this page: Frank's (Misortie) edit timed at 13:19 today left 15,311 bytes on this page. Following the bot achiving at 14:47 the page consisted of only 13,510. Therefore, the bot's edit removed 1,801 bytes. Daicaregos (talk) 18:08, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I presume, though I'm probably incorrect, that you are referring to the +/- feature from the watchlist, Allyson, yes? -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:26, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it seemed that - numbers mostly showed vandals and whatnot on the recent changes pages. Allyson Stephenson (talk) 19:13, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you mean the numbers here, The latest showing 14,735 bytes? Jack forbes (talk) 19:18, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No you were correct before. I was speaking of the number before. As a example, when I go to my watch list at the articles (I'm sorry, I am a very bad speller, just to forwarn) I would see this User talk:Jeanne boleyn‎; 14:18 . . (+249) . . Jack forbes (talk | contribs) (→Question: These numbers?). That (+249) is the number I was wondering about.Allyson Stephenson (talk) 19:21, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Right, got you. When you see the number (+249) next to Jeanne boleyn it means she has added 249 bytes (or characters) in her edit. If she deleted that edit it would show -249. Just to let you know, I'm a different Jack from before. :) Jack forbes (talk) 19:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahhh thank you and sorry for the mix up. That makes sense. Sorry for cloging up your discussion page Jeanne!Allyson Stephenson (talk) 19:33, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I enjoy company, which is why my talk page is Wikipedia's unofficial club. GoodDay's is the North American branch.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:04, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry people, my mistake. [ note to self: mind your own business Dai ] Daicaregos (talk) 10:12, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see any mistakes, Dai?? What have you done? You can tell me, it won't go any further. Jack forbes (talk) 10:15, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Dai, what mistake? You know you are always welcome on my talk page.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:19, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The answer I gave was to a question no-one had asked (I must have imagined it) Daicaregos (talk) 10:27, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe you're clairvoyant and someone is just about to ask the question! LOL. You didn't need to apologise for posting.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:31, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No thats a good thing to know also. Being new to the editing part of Wiki, I have no idea what all the numbers and whatnot are. Even when you go thru with the editing and all the ( and [ and everything else is a bit confusing. I mostly do this at work so I don't have a lot of time to go thru and read about editing. I'll get to it at some point. I just have to make sure to type things out in Word or something with a spell check first! (And to make sure I put my text were I want it!)

Archives
I've been doing my nosy, and am wondering what's happened to your archived material. Archive 3 stops in 2009. Jack forbes (talk) 10:29, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I haven't a clue. Where did it disappear to? Oh, I hope you don't mind, Jack but I uploaded your fabulous photo of Glen Nevis to said article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:33, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course I don't mind, I should have thought of it myself, Doh! As for the archives, very mysterious. Jack forbes (talk) 10:37, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes very. Perhaps these guys have sequestered them, and are at this very instant perusing everything in my archives?!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 12:29, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It could be worse. It might have been these guys! Jack forbes (talk) 13:03, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:25, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * look what I found. Wouldn't know what to do with it, but I have found it. I think their still perusing over archive 4. Jack forbes (talk) 16:04, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Who is this mysterious they? And why would they be interested in Archive 4? I cannot recall what was there. Hmmmmm... X Files material.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:15, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't you know who they are? I thought everyone knew. Their, you know, them! Jack forbes (talk) 18:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Template: English, Scottish and British monarchs
You've got a good point there, I wouldn't object if the Commonwealth was deleted. But, I'm guessing that would be opposed by the majority. GoodDay (talk) 16:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Would you have more sources to support William II of Scotland usage, in order to convince Tharky? GoodDay (talk) 16:35, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Try some Jacobite sites, they might provide sources.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:12, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I was on foot!!!! The shepherd told me not to worry, they wouldn't attack me. LOL. I was more apprehensive about the dogs than the sheep!!!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:21, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Double LOL. Check out Maria Carolina of Austria thus far. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:25, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Excellent, Jack. The lead is perfect. I made a couple of corrections. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't she-as well as Marie Antoinette for that matter-an archduchess rather than princess? I have never heard of Marie Antoinette being referred to as a princess.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:32, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yup. You're 100% correct. I was afraid of using the word "archduchess" because I felt it might present an obstacle to the simple-minded GA reviewers. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:34, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It's like Grand Duchess is used for the Russian tsars' daughters, never princess.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:40, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Maria Carolina technically derived a higher status as a princess of Hungary, however. After all, that's what gave her the style Royal Highness. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:42, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Queen Victoria was also Empress of India, and although an empress officially has more power and prestige, nobody ever referred to her as an empress. Titles are funny-and complicated. Think of all the English monarchs who assumed the title King of France; then there were some kings of Naples who were also titular Kings of Jerusalem.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:48, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed a few typo's (hope you don't mind), but didn't finish reading the whole thing :) Looks nice! Allyson Stephenson (talk) 17:50, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Allyson! I only have down to the start of "Queen of Naples and Sicily" done. The rest is part of the article as it is. I hope to salvage some, at least. Nobody may have called her Empress, but she sure loved to sign herself "Victoria R.I.", much to Gladstone's indignation! LOL. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:52, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Anyroad, the title was an empty one as India had its own maharaja, and Victoria certainly was not in the line of succession to the Indian Crown!!!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:57, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. True that. How interesting: . -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:00, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahhh that makes much more sense. The two halfs deff don't match up. I just got some of my books back from my step sister, so I am looking forward to the day my 8 month old starts to sleep thru the night so I can start back up on some research. I would really like to help on some of the pages you guys work on! Allyson Stephenson (talk) 18:03, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's an interesting portrait of Cosimo. That would be about the time the European nobility started to dabble in science much to the consternation of the Vatican!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You are more than welcome, Allyson. Wikipedia needs more editors to work on historical articles.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)


 * shudders* Don't get me started on the nutty Popes! Urban VIII steals the cake for banning the smoking of tobacco, with the punishment of excommunication, for being too "orgasmic". -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:10, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * What about the Pope who issued the papal bull in 1154 giving England the right to invade Ireland. Then there was Cowardly Clement who saved his hide by seeking refuge in the Castel Sant'Angelo while the citizens of Rome were being slaughtered by the Imperial forces in 1527?!! Nice blokes.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. And he grew that horrible mourning beard that he never shaved. :S -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:27, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't forget the womenizing Popes. GoodDay (talk) 18:37, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, how could we overlook that saintly paragon of chastity, humility, and virtue: Pope Alexander VI Borgia!!! What a charming paterfamilias, even made his son the model for Jesus!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:02, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Sophia?
Still nothing with Sophia of Masovia, maybe her family did forget about her though I doubt it. Hows Wikipedia treating you Jeanne?--David (talk) 20:39, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Ummm a little help?
There is this idot that keeps messing with Charles I of England's page... is there any way to protect it for a day or two till this guy finds someone else to mess with? Allyson Stephenson (talk) 18:20, 3 February 2010 (UTC) Someone just changed a few things on Mary Queen of Scots also. Her birthday and something else... normaly I just undo changes when they put something silly, but I wasn't sure on these Allyson Stephenson (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for alerting me. I just reverted the vandalism. The Mary, Queen of Scots article gets vandalised quite frequently, along with many other historical biographies.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:54, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If persistent vandalism you can get the page protected here. BigDunc  18:58, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually most of the historical bios get vandalised on a regular basis; in fact, I've got quite a few on my watchlist. If Mary gets vandalised again, I'll request protection for it. Thanks for your help, Dunc. Cheers.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:02, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparently, those 2 vandals lost their heads, when considering the 2 articles-in-question. GoodDay (talk) 19:45, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the help with that. I have figured out how to undo a edit... but i'm still working on when its a few bad ones in the way! Allyson Stephenson (talk) 20:56, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I wonder some days if people just wake up and say "Hey, i want to re-write a bio today!". if i ever contribute to a actual article, you better belive i would have facts and sources at my fingertips! Henry IIIV's page has been changed a lot... Allyson Stephenson (talk) 14:01, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Boot troll.
Do you think he could come from Norway? They (The Jeanne Troll [=) do have a similar appearance and they even look like they could be made out of the same material. Could they be brothers, or even sisters? (Do Female trolls even exist?) --大輔 泉 (talk) 00:32, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * My troll does indeed come from Norway. How very astute of you, Misortie!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:09, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * "Description Troll doll from Norway". They also have one eye closed! --大輔 泉 (talk) 11:44, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

The Tudors & Edward VII tv series
The Tudors series could take some accuracy lessons from the Edward VII series, for how to get the characters to look like the people they're portraying. GoodDay (talk) 19:40, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The Tudors is terrible. That's all I have to say. GoodNight. --大輔 泉 (talk) 19:47, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It's an embarrassment and an accurate reflection on the collective ignorance of the people who work in the entertainment industry (Sorry Jim, you're the exception to the rule!). Surely at least one of the casting directors was aware that the real Henry VIII had red hair and a rather corpulent physique, and the real Anne Boleyn did not have blue eyes?! As for historical accuracy, well even a swift glance through the pages of a Jean Plaidy novel could have told the writers of the series that Henry had two sisters and neither of them was ever married to the King of Portugal!!!! FFS!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:08, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry but when the Americans get hold of these they kill it. Look at Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age, was Sir Walter Rally such a hero? Sir Francis Drake was a hero and he wasn't mentioned at all. They only gave Henry one sister in the tv programme so they wouldn't create confusion with his sister Mary and his daughter Mary. They're a bit too romantic for me--David (talk) 16:35, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I prefer the BBC productions of Six Wives of Henry VIII starring Keith Michell as Henry and Dorothy Tutin as Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth R was also superb with Glenda Jackson as Queen Elizabeth.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:42, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The Tudors tv series, is now covering the late 1530's, early 1540's. Like ya said, Henry VIII should be quite chubby & bearded at this point. GoodDay (talk) 16:49, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes quite. He grew very obese in his later years just as his maternal grandfather Edward IV of England did. The two men strongly resembled one another in looks and character. There was little of Henry VII visible in his son.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:02, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with both of you that I wish they used a bit more historical fact when doing the series, but on a side note, Their Henry looks much better without a shirt! Allyson Stephenson (talk) 17:40, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I have never cared for Jonathan Rhys-Meyers ever since he shot Liam Neeson in Michael Collins.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:45, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I'll be signed out for awhile, see ya 'til then. GoodDay (talk) 17:37, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think Glenda Jackson is a great Elizabeth, but at the same time so is Cate Blanchett. I heard they may do a follow on from The Tudors that focuses on the three children. No doubt they'll be very romantic, they'll probably give little Edward VI a love interest!--David (talk) 11:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought Blanchett made a terrible Elizabeth, no spirit, no charisma, no iron will. Blanchett couldn't intimidate a budgie. Who could possibly be Edward's love interest unless it's Lady Jane Grey?! Oh dear......Hollywood.... (Shakes head)--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:49, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Was there any other young princesses at the time (maybe French or Spanish?)--David (talk) 19:08, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * None who would have come into physical contact with Edward.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you want to know what’s worse than the Tudors for historical accuracy? The now deceased show Robin Hood on BBC that was axed. Honestly, the costumes were all wrong!大輔 泉 (talk) 14:43, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Couldn't be worse than Kevin Costner as Robin Hood!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:50, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * OMG yes! I was talking about this by the way, forgot to mention. Horrible acting (I wanted to kill Jonas Armstrong after the very first episode), bad stunts, ridicules costumes that were not of the time period and unrealistic sets. Bah, is this what the licence fee goes too?大輔 泉 (talk) 15:01, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Nobody can ask me who I am seeing as I've put eveything about myself on my user page apart from my bra size. I just added my ancestors for those who wish to know (or fear) that they are related to me.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:05, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I can tell you my ancestors the Burdons owned a shop around 100 years ago and in the Edwardian period I had relatives in British India serving with the navy, I can also tell you my Great-Grandfather was Irish and died 60 years ago. Now you know me! (My advance editing tools are not displaying correctly, Damn!)大輔 泉 (talk) 15:12, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm descended from a Moorish slave-girl....but we, my family, don't like to talk about that...so shh!!! -- Jack1755 (talk) 15:50, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Moorish? I thought you said she was Moroccan Jewish? --Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:48, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Other side of the family. ;) -- Jack1755 (talk) 16:53, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you aren't taking the story of Alessandro de Medici's background too seriously LOL? In some bios she was a Moorish/Berber slave, in others she was a mule driver's wife by the name of Simonetta which doesn't sound Arabic or Berber to me. LOL.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:57, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey Jeanne, I've started my family tree on my user page but I hardly know anything about my family, I know it's stupid but my Dad doesn't know the name of his own grandmother, we think she was called Alice but she died long before my dad was born. I forgot my maternal grandmother's maiden name, I'll have to ask her. It's a shame you have to pay on ancestry.co.uk--David (talk) 16:31, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know the name of my great-grandfather's parents for the simple reason that my mother forgot to ask her grandmother when getting info about the latter's ancestors. All I know is that they were cousins and he was robbed and murdered by a couple of renegade Indians in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) in about 1889. They were hanged for the crime; it was gruesome, apparently his head was blown off by a shotgun and his body was brought back to my great-grandmother draped across a horse.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:48, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Your family history is really interesting, my father's family were hugenots so the St Bartholomew's day massacre is very personal for me and my family, we hate Catherine de' Medici though she was a great woman. I recently discovered my best friend is of hugenot ancestry, imagine if our families knew eachother years ago or we're related! LOL--David (talk) 20:21, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The name was Bullen, it's a shame really I'd of liked to have made that connection, either that or the letters have changed like my family's name was orginally spelt Crosse but they dropped the e after a while--David (talk) 15:56, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * But have you traced your family to see if you are related to the Bullens of Salle, Norfolk. Bullen is not a common name in England. You could very well be descended from a collateral branch of Anne's family. It's not certain whether or not George Boleyn had any children.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:25, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * In England it can be very hard to trace your family so far back, unless your one of those historians like David Starkey, not many people can view royal papers. It is a line of the family that is very unknown to my dad, I wish gran was still alive because she would've known about it. To check most documents in the country you have to pay which I think isn't right if you're looking for your family. Anyway I have more names to add to my family tree--David (talk) 20:13, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * What about Somerset House in London? Do you have to pay to look for your ancestors there? Besides, many parish churches keep records going back centuries.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:08, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * We did some searches last night on the web and found some interesting things out, the Bullens stayed in Lancashire for at least 200 years. I also found out my grandfather applied for american citizenship and was accepted but the rest of the family didn't want to leave. My family have lived around Liverpool for a few 100 years. I'd also love to know more about my Hugenot roots and I have more names for my family tree--David (talk) 16:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Jeanne, I've made a mistake, their name was Bullen--David (talk) 16:34, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Eleanor of Guzman
Hi Jeanne, I've expanded the article on Eleanor of Guzman, now she was a great women, who is probably very similar to Anne Boleyn. Cheers--David (talk) 17:26, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello, I'm trying to translate Anna of Masovia but the english has come back very bad, can you help me please? I've also found a wikipedia link to Sophia's first husband and it appears they had a daughter named Clara who was engaged but died before her marriage could take place, I don't know whether Sophia had other children though I'm still puzzled why there is only three last Masovian Piasts when their sister was still alive. Thanks Jeanne--David (talk) 10:15, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

 * The name Sibring is originally Norse.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:40, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Whilst waiting for Anna, I've tried expanding Isabella de Warenne, but there's hardly no informaton on her. I see you've created alot of articles on her ancestors. Cheers--David (talk) 19:55, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I just had a look at Anna of Masovia as I had promised. It needs a bit of clarification in some places; also some of the sentences are too long and cumbersome. I would suggest breaking them up.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:25, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank You, I've sorted the rest of it out but I have had to remove alot of information because it just doesn't make any sense, it happens with all Polish articles, the translation is always messy and full of mistakes--David (talk) 10:13, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

What a day
I've been coming and going all day, and I'm totally wiped out! Twice to my daughter's school, shopping for bargains, the shoe repairman to get my favourite pointed-toed boots fixed, and finally the dentist. Whew!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 19:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

 * It was my poor daughter who had to see the dentist, and thanks to his mistake, she must return again today! What fun sitting around a dentist's waiting room reading gossip magazines and overhearing people's long-winded and naturally boring mobile phone conversations. Now if people could manage to discuss the particulars of the JFK assassination, the perfection of Keith Richards' guitar licks, or the possible existance in the 21st century of the Knights Templar, then I wouldn't mind being compelled to have mobile phone conversations invade my auricular cavities.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:58, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

I prefer Emnanuele Filiberto to his father, who is pretty much a disasterous example for the monarchist cause (especially the firearms and prostitution stuff, more than the P2). The Savoia house seems to make a habbit of shooting itself in the foot though, I have to say, southern-bias, I prefer Bourbon-Two Sicilies. Prince Carlo, Duke of Castro would make a great constitutional monarch of Italy IMO, but sadly there are far too many communists for this to become a reality (similar sitution to France and also Ireland, with the lovely "reds in green"). Crass and mediocre politics doesn't seem to be ending any time soon. - Yorkshirian (talk) 10:47, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * He was pretty good; he wrote the song himself, although he was accompanied by two other singers, so he was actually part of a trio. I like the man personally. Have you seen him? He has a truly Hapsburg face, thankfully unmarred by the Hapsburg lip. His father favours the Bourbons in appearance. The Prince is a collateral descendant of Marie Antoinette through her sister Marie Caroline. Strange how history repeats itself. Antoinette was hated for being herself and the Prince was catcalled for being the grandson of the King of Italy.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 10:53, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I can see what you mean. His father reminds me of Juan Carlos, King of Spain... his face anyway. Then again King Louis XX of France looks quite different to most of the Bourbons, maybe its because of Franco being his great-grandfather. - Yorkshirian (talk) 08:34, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No, there's no resemblance to the Bourbons at all. I didn't know Franco was his ancestor.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:14, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Margaret II of Denmark
There was remours circulating at the Royalty News webpage, that the Queen-regnant of Denmark 'might' abdicate on her 70th birthday (in April 2010). The Danish Palace has denied the rumours. GoodDay (talk) 18:27, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Oversight
What happended to Tatiana's page? -- Jack1755 (talk) 16:04, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * She had too much personal info on her page for someone who is a minor so her userpage was suppressed. She has since created a new page, but without any personal information which could reveal her identity and location. --Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:27, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd still recommend a new password for her, even though she wasn't a victim of phishing. Afterall, you've already revealed it to me & we don't need either of us being prime-suspects of phishing, if her new registered account gets compromised. GoodDay (talk) 16:36, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It already has been changed, and her new page has very little info.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:42, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Okie Dokie. GoodDay (talk) 16:50, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, Jeanne. I'm here! Is there a policy or law or something against minors' personal info? -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes there is. Read this:WP: Guidance for younger editors. I never knew it existed until yesterday.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:32, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, it doesn't explicitly say you can't reveal your identity. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:39, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * But if an oversighter feels a minor is revealing too much personal data he has the right to suppress the page. Rockpocket explained that an account could even be blocked were the minor to keep putting personal info up. The oversighter explained that it's done in the interests of the minors themselves.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:44, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. Check out my latest article: Marguerite Louise d'Orléans. -- Jack1755 (talk) 17:49, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It wasn't his fault. I asked him to check into it and he went to a lot of trouble locating the person who did the oversighting. He wasn't the oversighter; (that was another editor who was also very polite). I appreciate his efforts on Tatiana's behalf because we couldn't figure out what had happened.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:54, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It's good, although I think Deprived of her lover shouldn't be the second opening line. Put something else before it.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:02, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you mean re-phrase it or put another sentence before it? -- Jack1755 (talk) 18:29, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Put another sentence before it, show a kind of build.up to the fact that she'd a lover.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 18:51, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

judith the bavarian
Hi Jeanne, I've looked at your article on Judith and even though it's short you never fail to impress me. Like the conflicts between her husband and her family, it is very interesting that they had no other kids, though it could have just been like all those other medieval marriages, loveless. I'm going to make an attempt at expanding Bona Sforza's article. For such a great woman she has a rather small english article. The reason Bona stopped having children in her early thirties was because she fell off a horse when she was pregnant with her younger son, she went into premature labour, he died and doctors told her she was unable to have other children. Looking at portraits of her daughters, they seemed rather unattractive. It's a shame seeing there grandmother, Isabella of Naples and her mother Ippolita Maria Sforza were great beauties, seems the family juice didn't quite get through and they inherited the more unattractive Polish looks. Was Bona considered beautiful? Cheers--David (talk) 20:50, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your praise, David. I was overjoyed to discover an image of Judith on Commons which I have uploaded to the article. It's a contemporary one as well. I don't know whether Bona Sforza was considered attractive or not. Her mother and grandmother certainly were regarded as beauties. Does Bona have any descendants? I know her legitimate line eventually became extinct, but I was wondering if perhaps there was an illegitimate line somewhere.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:13, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Bona's son had many mistesses and I've found that he had a daughter who did marry, but I don't know whether they had children. The Kings of Sweden descended from her daughter Catherine and a few of them had illegitimate children and I think the son of Isabella may have had natural children. Did Sophia, the daughter without an article have any children? The line dying out is there own fault, that's the problem you have when you make certain children live religious lives, they could have provided they needed descendents--David (talk) 16:08, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, usually a mother promised to give a younger daughter or son to the Church; often it was because the girls were physically or mentally abnormal in some way, and not likely to secure a husband. Remember the parents had to give the girl's dowry to the religious house upon her entry.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:21, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe so, but some of these middle sons had nothing wrong with them but still were given a religious life, like John Albert Vasa and Karol Ferdynand Vasa, both great-grandsons of Bona--David (talk) 16:39, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That contributed in a large part to the eventual extinction of many interesting dynasties.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:46, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a big shame I wish the House of Piast was still going, descendents still exist by nobody takes the name Piast--David (talk) 16:50, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Jeanne! I've created an article for Bona's fourth daughter, Sophia Jagiellon (1522–1575). She would have become King of Poland if she had lived for a few more months after her death. Shame--David (talk) 16:33, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * King of Poland?!!!!!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:58, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, in Poland you were a King even if you were a woman, look at Jadwiga. I know it's strange but they always thought as a Queen being the consort. If you had inherited Poland you were know as King regardless of your gender--David (talk) 20:10, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Mary, Queen of Scots
We've got Robert I of Scotland, David II of Scotland, Robert II of Scotland, Robert III of Scotland, James I of Scotland, James II of Scotland, James III of Scotland, James IV of Scotland, James V of Scotland, Mary, Queen of Scots. One of those stick out like a sore thumb, can you guess which one? GoodDay (talk) 16:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, we also have Buffalo Bill instead of William Cody. That's because he's better known by that name; same with Mary, Queen of Scots. Sory, but when I came across Mary I of Scotland, I was taken aback. I recall my World Book Encyclopedia listed her as Mary, Queen of Scots. As for Richard The Lion-Heart and Robert the Bruce, I draw the line.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:04, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm just sulking. GoodDay (talk) 17:09, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Better to sulk than rage, as I'm doing at the moment. In fact I'm ready (almost) to launch into a POD-style string of swearing.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:11, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * What's happening? GoodDay (talk) 17:12, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * No 26 February vote.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:38, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I struck out the Merge first sentence part of it. Thus leaving your comments intact & not disrupting the flow of the discussion there. GoodDay (talk) 17:43, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I had assumed that they had started another vote, otherwise I wouldn't have voted a second time. Oh weell, it's the last time I vote or comment on any discussion. When my input and opinions are treated with scorn, it's time I just shut the f.ck up!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:49, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't let another editor's ABF discourage ya. I've had editors (over the years) snarl at me aswell, at such discussion. Aint nobody gonna push me out. GoodDay (talk) 17:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Prince Charles declares war... on the Enlightenment
Did you see this earlier in the month? Can't believe I missed it. The media here hiss at Charles all the time for being a traddie. As a monarchist its slightly irritating that they're allowed to get away with such unpatriotic behaviour against their future King, but nonetheless. He makes up for it through sheer anti-PC iconoclast comments; "I was accused once of being the enemy of the Enlightenment. I felt proud of that." .... "We cannot go on like this, just imagining that the principles of the Enlightenment still apply now. I don’t believe they do. But if you challenge people who hold the Enlightenment as the ultimate answer to everything, you do really upset them". God Save the King, Liz is dull. - Yorkshirian (talk) 19:29, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm part of the Appreciation Group of Prince Charles on Facebook. In point of fact, he's always been my favourite royal. I admired his comportment and discretion following the death of Princess Diana. Camilla was also discreet; none can fault her behaviour.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:22, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah! A fellow hippy!
Great talk page, Jeanne, made me smile and wistfully remember 1967. People stop and stare at me, we just walk on by; we just keep on dreaming.

But the reason I dropped by was to point you to this page about Cornwall and English nationalism – armour against the trolls, perchance?

Introduction
Hello Jeanne! I came across your handle in the Urraca of Leon page, which I am attempting to work through during my free time. Your bio is absolutely intriguing! It is one of the most entertaining bios I have yet read! I need to update my own.

One particular aspect intrigued me somewhat. And that is how do you reconcile your belief in the monarchy system with your American upbringing, and if I may say, a rebellious and anti “establishment-ism” inherit with rock-in-roll? I ask this out of genuine interest in the subject of monarchism. If you would like, you may contact me at dc_llewellyn@yahoo.com.

Thank you,

David Llewellyn ♦Drachenfyre♦ · Talk 06:32, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * If anti-establishment rock stars such as Sir Mick Jagger and Sir Bob Geldof can cheerfully accept knighthoods, then surely I can sing along to Street Fighting Man, whilst editing Anne Boleyn. LOL. Anyroad, once a group signs a record contract, like it or not they are part of the Capitalist society. Just ask Billy Bragg who preaches (complete with artificial cockney accent, no less) the joys of working in the factory and down in the mines while living in a Dorset manor with his chic interior designer girlfriend!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:43, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Nah, I know Billy and I can tell you he really does have a Lun'un accent – and it's genuine. Honest! He's from Barking, a few miles east of the city, so his accent is not actually Cockney (which is more geographically specific). Here's a rather poor photo I took on 23 January 2010 when Billy supported a demonstration against police misuse of anti-terrorism laws. Andy F (talk) 08:29, 6 March 2010 (UTC) BillyBraggAtDemo23Jan2010.jpg
 * OK, I believe you. As he's from Barking, would his accent then be a London or Essex one? Oh, and I do play Billy's music at WikiBlitz. LOL.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:45, 6 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, now you're asking Jeanne ! Yes, Barking was in Essex (it is now in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham). And, yes, southeast Essex does have a distinct version of the accent usually referred to as "Estuary English". On the other hand, Barking is now – to all intents and purposes – part of London and the accent is more London than Essex. So Billy definitely doesn't have a Cockney accent in the pure sense.

But it's a fine distinction. Many people from the traditional East End moved out into the suburbs and subsequently their London accent became diluted while the suburban accent became more London from their influence. Accent and locale can be hard to define because socio-linguistic boundaries are subtle and constantly changing. And you know how obsessed with social accents we English can be! :-) Anyway, I've replied to your note about Sting on my talk page. Best, Andy F (talk) 10:10, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Door-to-door beggars

Judy of Flanders
Yes! She seemed to know all of the royals, you could just imagine her as the' person who would get invited to many parties and celebrations and if she ever threw one all the royals from the near by countries would come. You could imagine her stood in the great hall as the grand hostess with various dukes fighting over wine. Yet you could picture her leaving for a moment and going off to pray. There is a daughter of Urraca of León and Castile called Sancha, who I'd like to create an article on but I need to find some things out first. Could you help? Cheers--David (talk) 16:13, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Jeanne, you've changed the date of when Judith ceased to be Duchess of Bavaria, her husband was Duke twice and Judith had been dead for a couple of years when he became Duke the second time, also on his article it says the also had a daughter. I think her title can been disputed, why Countess of Northumbria, why not Duchess of Bavaria? Thank You--David (talk) 16:52, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I have just reverted it back to your version. Why not open a discussion on her talk page as to which title her article should use? Let's get a few opinions. I'm open to change, if there's consensus to do so. No problem. Thank you for putting in the 1077 date! Academics are just eager to pounce on errors like that by which they can then use as a stick to beat us with!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I have just added her daughter. Once again, thank you for noticing my errors and oversights.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:09, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't worry ;) I've added my piece to the talk page, just to see if someone like Surtsicna get's involved. Have you heard from Jack recently. Only two Pussycat Dolls left now, the lead one Nicole Scherzinger is just a complete joke now, she's happy the other three Dolls left!--David (talk) 20:23, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I replied on my page, David. Jeanne, would you mind checking out Mary of Modena thus far? By checking out, I mean singling out redundancies, inaccuracies, ambiguities, etc. Thanks, Jeanne! It's so easy to unintentionally add information regarding political developments unrelated to Mary...I'm desperately afraid I'll be ridiculed for including too much politics, so I've tried to minimise its prominence. -- Jack1755 (talk) 23:47, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I made a few corrections in the lead; the Early Years section looks good. I'll go over the rest later on. You're doing a great job on it, Jack!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:42, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Jeanne. However, it was bore, as in boring. Thanks! -- Jack1755 (talk) 19:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hi Jeanne, I've finished my latest article on Margaret of Masovia, she was a woman who cared about her family, she even adopted an illegitimate son of Casimir III of Poland--David (talk) 20:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Her line is still going through her son (I think) I know she had four grandchildren. It was a shame her daughter was never able to make her marriage--David (talk) 21:20, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, from Wikipedia I've been able to track her descendents to the 17th centuary, from then onwards there isn't many articles for the children and nobody seems to be very notable, Margaret's descendents lost out during the reign of the Habsburgs during the 1600's. I've also finished an article on Anna of Denmark (1532–1585)--David (talk) 21:27, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Forum images
The page is going through a bit of a major re-write. Many of the images were overloading the page that contained little information, no references and lacked coverage. In order to make the article more edit friendly and adhere to MOS the images were removed untill the article size can sustain them.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:02, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: I had to move your message to a new section. Please use the new section tab when leaving a comment, thanks :D --Frank Fontaine (talk) 23:24, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I think you would make a dandy Admin Jeanne!
Really! Why not? (Also, I was just being chatted up by a very nice French girl 0_0 I feel great about that for some reason!)--Frank Fontaine (talk) 19:22, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No way Jose. I'm perfectly happy editing, uploading images and creating articles on medieval noblewomen. Who needs the aggro that Admins have to put up with? If I were one, the first thing I'd do is crack down on all the incivilty and rudeness here.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:32, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, we should crack down on those who curse and swear on wiki. Ah, the demon drink! Where would we be without it? Sober probably. Jack forbes (talk) 20:10, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The cursing is not such a big deal as the insults and belittling of others' contributions here. You have never been rude, Jack.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:19, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Do you fancy a chat, Jeanne?
Hi, Jeanne. I've asked Irvine on his talk page if he would like to talk honestly with me concerning some of his provocative comments/edit summaries. I may be daft but, I still think he could be an asset to wikipedia if he screwed the`head. If he does agree to talk honestly of it would you be willing to take part in the discussion? I think you would be of immense help. Thanks. Jack forbes (talk) 17:16, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course I would be willing to participate in the discussion, providing he's sincere. Personally, Jack, I think our Irvine is a rather clever, very bored, and highly imaginative American youth acting out a big fantasy pretending to be a black Northern Irish Glaswegian. The onus is on him to convince me otherwise, but my antennae tell me he's not the genuine article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:21, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The more he talks the more I believe he is Scots. I could be wrong of course, it wouldn't be the first time. I think we should know from his first post whether or not he is willing to be honest. As I said, I may be daft. Jack forbes (talk) 17:24, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You're not being daft, Jack. You are assuming good faith,which is a core Wikipedia principle. I'm just being cynical. Let's hear what he has to say.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:27, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, we'll wait and see. Jack forbes (talk) 17:35, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Cornwall
I am pleased to announce that our revered WikiBlitz Club hostess the loveley Jeanne has Cornish blood flowing through her veins! Ahhhh, Cornwall – bright Atlantic land of legend, mythology, and surfer dudes. Where the copper the clay the arsnic and tin / Run in your blood and get under your skin / I'll leave the county behind, I'm not coming back / So follow me down cousin Jack (Lyric to the song Cousin Jack by Show of Hands). Jeanne, you should hear that song - there's even a reference to the Joseph of Arimathea legend. Here is the song on YouTube (and you might like to Google the full lyrics too) Andy F (talk) 18:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

<> --> ::::: That light? I think <> provides the light – as a mere mortal, I just point the Nikon and press the shutter. Andy F (talk) 18:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh no! This is going to cause a raging nationality debate! Is Jeanne American or should she be known as CORNISH-AMERICAN? But no she has English-French-Irish blood in her!!! What to do??? Should it say in the Infobox or the lead??? Nooo! --Frank Fontaine (talk) 18:33, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well both Ireland and Cornwall are Celtic nations so our hostess is a Celtic-Franco-American Princess (and if the French connection is Brittany then you can drop the 'Franco' bit because the Bretagnes are Celts too) Andy F (talk) 18:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

 * The reason my ancestors were from various parts of France was on account of my great-grandmother having been French but born in Louisiana. Her ancestors had come to Louisiana and Quebec from different parts of France, including quite a few from Paris.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, Jeanne, so you're Cajun as well as Celtic and Cornish and Caledonian? Andy F (talk) 08:21, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

 * You can't always judge a book by looking at the cover, Jack Andy F (talk) 08:30, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No, my great-grandmother was not a Cajun as none of her ancestors camefrom Nova Scotia which was called Acadie or Acadia. They did live on a bayou though, but were just simply known as French not Cajun! I worked with a girl who was a Cajun as was her husband. They were both from Lafayette, Louisiana which is deepin the heart of Cajun country.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:52, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Better add Dr John to the WikiBlitz playlist and get your gris gris working, gal. Andy F (talk) 08:58, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

 * No, one must not be cruel to the afflicted, Jack. The poor wee thing needs soft words of encouragement, not a harsh tongue-lashing. There, there my dear.....yes, you are absolutely right, England isn't a country; now come on and take your medicine, there's a good boy.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:16, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I've throughly enjoyed
your user page, but one thing really confuses me. Train Kept a-Rollin by Aerosmith? I can understand why a kid like you would not choose the Johnny Burnett version, but why not the Yardbirds ? Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 16:10, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, I do like the Yardbirds version, but I have seen Aerosmith three times in concert and they perform that song so well live. Joe Perry's guitar playing is amazing.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:14, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, well Rock & Roll is (opinion) really about live music. Your list of songs hit me in a bunch of places - the geezer rock band that I play in, the Pathetics do Paint it Black, for example and I've just finished turning Black is Black and Friday on My Mind from vinyl to CD for my big British Invasion radio show (or 2) on KLDK. Thanks for making me comfortable with my love of Freddie and the Dreamers and so much more. Life is supposed to be interesting. Carptrash (talk) 19:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I also adore Tchaikovsky, Wagner and Mozart! One question, are you English or American?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:19, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree Jeanne, Tchaikovsky is magnificent and Mozart is sublime. I'd add Bach and Beethoven to the list. But Wagner??? As he said of himself "(I) write music with an exclamation mark!" His romanticism of the hero/superman/leader has made him the choice of national fanaticism (most notably the Nazis - Hitler was a friend of Wagner's daughter Eva and Wagner's music both fuelled and symbolised Nazism). Wagner's anti-semitism and his belligerent nationalism are well documented. Personally, I would find it hard to warm to the music that blared over the Tannoys as the prisoners were led to the gas chambers of Treblinka and Auschwitz even if it sounded wonderful rather than despotic, overblown and histrionic.


 * Because, politics aside, the music is sprawling and bombastic – all those sweeping shrills from the string sections and soaring horn-laded sonorities are so corny. Listen to the overture from Tanhauser for a perfect example of two (admittedly attractive) melodies degraded into a kitsch cacophony of over-orchestration. A huge sound signifying nothing IMO.


 * Anyway, here are a few quotes to amuse WikiBlitzers:
 * (Wagner) contaminates everything he touches -- he has made music sick. Nietzsche
 * Wagner has lovely moments but awful quarters of an hour. Rossini
 * One can't judge (Lohengrin) after a first hearing and I certainly don't intend to hear it a second time. Rossini
 * I have been told that Wagner's music is better than it sounds. Mark Twain
 * (This) ardent and despotic music feels at times as though one discovered again ...the dizzy imaginations induced by opium. Baudelaire


 * OK, everyone – discuss! Andy F (talk) 11:34, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Andy, according to Albert Goldman, John Lennon was also anti-Semitic as was Voltaire not to mention countless of people, whom are held in high regard by history and mankind such as Richard the Lion Heart, Martin Luther, etc. Remember the Church actively encouraged anti-Semitism for centuries. I'm not for one minute condoning it, but it was fueled by the authorities and churchmen alike. One cannot dislike Wagner just because a homicidal madman idealised his music. People still drive Ford automobiles, despite Henry Ford having been a notorious anti-Semite.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:32, 12 March 2010 (UTC)


 * You're right in that one should not necessarily judge art by the politics of its creator; you're also right in saying that if one used anti-semitism as the sole yardstick, one would miss out on some great music. However, politics is not my main criterion for disliking Wagner's music (see above). Andy F (talk) 15:07, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm American, but it's complicated. As life so often is. But fortunately no one has accused Freddie Garrity of being an anti-semite.  Carptrash (talk) 15:16, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Anti-Semitism is insiduous, it often rears it's ugly head in the most unlikely places.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:22, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I once told my mother that A Day in the Life had Wagernian overtones, but that just upset her more. As part of my attempt to convert the Pathetics piano player (a hard-core classicist) to R&R I suggested that Tchaikovsky's Violin concerto had a lot in common with the Allman Brothers Whipping Post (live version), but after a few listens she still does not exactly agree with me. I have also been informed by someone who actually cares about me that I am not so much subtle as obscure. Life. What a place to live. Carptrash (talk) 15:38, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately we have no choice as it's the only game in town.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:41, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Well I am definitely pro-choice and believe that there are a wide variety of choices to be made, but that mostly we make them. . . ........ elsewhere. Carptrash (talk) 15:46, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
