MedCab James I of England case

Hi, I am going to be the mediator for the James I of England MedCab case and the discussion is going to start on the talk page. Also, could I ask your opinion on this version of the article? Addhoc 18:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Science

Whoa! I didn't mean for my citation request to be contentious. I really didn't know which legal action you were referring to. I think we're on the same page (so to speak) here.

I've got no POV at all. I'm just trying to (quietly and probably futily) overhaul the pages on Christian Science to be more NPOV rather than multiple POV and to reorganize them to differentiate the faith from the church (as an organization.) Citations help. Digitalican 16:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TRY TO DO SOMETHING MORE ! FRANCIS BACON IS FALSELY ACCUSED OF HETEROSEXUALITY DESPITE STRONG EVIDENCES OF THE CONTRARY. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO LET HOMOPHOBIC PEOPLE HAVE THE LAST WORD !


Hello, I try to put this version in Francis Bacon. Could you put the links in blue, I don't know ow to do. And there is people who try to impose a version where the arguments of Nieves Mathews -or the non-argument- are to important :

Others Bacon's ideas about the improvement of the human lot were influential in the 1630s and 1650s among a number of Parliamentarian scholars. During the Restoration, Bacon was commonly invoked as a guiding spirit of the new-founded Royal Society. In the nineteenth century his emphasis on induction was revived and developed by William Whewell, among others. Bacon was ranked #90 on Michael H. Hart's list of the most influential figures in history. Several authors, such as historians A. L. Rowse,[2] Rictor Norton,[3] and Professor of English and Comparative Literature Alan Stewart,[4] speculate that he had homosexual inclinations. The point of view of Nieves Mathews,[5] is that the sources are not conclusive : (1) a quote from the private diary of Simonds D'Ewes (Bacon's enemy in Parliament, but considered to be a responsible and scrupulous lawyer), (2) a quote from Brief Lives by John Aubrey (written after Bacon's passing but used by all historians): he "was a pederast" and "had ganimeds and favourites", (3) and a note by Ann Bacon in which she expressed disapproval of the friends Francis and Anthony were associating with (since one was a "Papist" and money was owned to her sons: "that bloody Percy [who Bacon kept] as a coach companion and bed companion."). Coaches were one of the few private spaces at the time, thus the term "coach companion" is a clear reference to sexual doings.[7] However, there is no evidence to proove Mathews' theory of Bacon's heterosexuality. RAHTER THAN : Several authors, such as historians A. L. Rowse,[7] Rictor Norton,[8] and Professor of English and Comparative Literature Alan Stewart,[9] speculate that he had homosexual inclinations. Nieves Mathews, author of Francis Bacon: The History of a Character Assassination,[10] argues that the sources are not conclusive: (1) a quote from the private diary of Simonds d'Ewes (a disputable source since he was Bacon's enemy in Parliament), (2) a quote from Brief Lives by John Aubrey (written after Bacon's passing): he "was a pederast" and "had ganimeds and favourites", (3) a note by Ann Bacon in which she expressed disapproval of the friends Francis and Anthony were associating with (since one was a "Papist" and money was owed to her sons). Thanks.
