Periphery countries again…

How long do you want me to leave the GAN open for on Periphery countries? I'm more than happy to leave it until the end of the project, as I can see they're still working on it. At the moment it has far too many markers to pass, but if you think there's a reasonable chance they'll be able to fix them I'm happy to wait; you presumably have a better idea than me of how likely the students are to resolve all the outstanding issues. – iridescent 10:43, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually, while I'm here do you know what the modern name of "Benche, Poland" is? (Currently a glaring redlink on Charles Domery.) It doesn't look like a Polish or German spelling to me (as Domery lived in France, I suspect it's a French translation), but I can't think of anything that it might be. As Domery ended up in the Prussian army, I assume it's somewhere that came under Prussian rule during the Partitions. Every book on Domery gives "Benche" as his birthplace, so I assume it isn't a typo. – iridescent 10:50, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; will close it as not passed, in that case (although hopefully, someone will come along and work on it later). Regarding Domery/Domerz, I've added a "no place called Benche exists" footnote—I'm wondering whether it's actually Benz outside Stettin/Szczecin, but Pomerania wouldn't have been considered Polish in that period. I suspect that whoever signed him up to the French army just scribbled down his name and birthplace as they sounded to a French ear, and both names were perpetuated from there. (If I had to guess, I'd guess the name was originally some form of Damir, but that's pure OR.) – iridescent 15:01, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Have put it as B-class, which I think is where it fairly sits on the scale. (I have to confess that I've never quite understood the B/C distinction, which seems to differ day to day). I've left the importance settings untouched, as I don't know how significant it is as a concept, and whether core/periphery is a widely used distinction. (My gut instinct is that developed/developing is far more commonly used.) – iridescent 16:09, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for rating the historical timelines high importance :) I was wondering, do you know how I might get more people to notice them? Because they really need expanding and so far they're little more than a vanity project for me. Serendious 19:31, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
