Talk:Prince Gong

message: I removed the following disputed paragraph and am placing it here for now. I have not previously edited this article prior to just now.
In the 1890s, after the death of the 1st prince Chun, Empress Dowager Cixi asked Prince Gong to return to the court, but he died shortly afterwards. (Note added by a reader: This sentence is very doubtful. After the death of the 1st Prince Chun, Prince Gong's younger brother, in 1891, Prince Gong was not recalled to power. Prince Gong was recalled to serve the imperial government when China was very badly defeated by the Japanese in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895). From 1894-1898, Prince Gong was recalled to power because of the great difficulties of the imperial government. On the whole, Prince Gong was strongly suspected by his brother and sister-in-law such that he was delegated power only under very difficult situations.)

thread_title: Template name

message: In line with its traditional Western orientation, relations with Europe have always been a central part of Turkish foreign policy. Turkey became a founding member of the Council of Europe in 1949, applied for associate membership of the EEC (predecessor of the European Union) in 1959 and became an associate member in 1963. After decades of political negotiations, Turkey applied for full membership of the EEC in 1987, became an associate member of the Western European Union in 1992, reached a Customs Union agreement with the EU in 1995 and has officially begun formal accession negotiations with the EU on October 3 2005. 
Turkey is also a member of Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, Western European Union(Associate member), UEFA, European Olympic Committees(and all other sports organizations in Europe), European Broadcasting Union and the all other European organizations.
Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, financial, cultural and historical capital is in Europe and it is Europe's largest city too. The city was chosen as European Capital of Culture for 2010 not as Asian Capital of Culture.
You can see Turkey in Europe not in Asia or Middle East in the BBC's website.
Also in the New York Times'.

Talk:James Thompson (VC)

message: The Victoria Cross for Private James Thompson, 1st Battalion, 60th Rifles was published in the London Gazette on 20 January 1860. Most secondary references state that the action was at Lucknow, India. The published citation names neither Lucknow nor Delhi but the 1/60th was part of the Siege of Delhi. In fact, Thompson was one of five men of the 1/60th elected under Section 13 of the Royal Warrant to receive the Victoria Cross for the Siege of Delhi. Two months later he was wounded in the assault on Delhi on 14 September 1857, the opening day of the battle that lasted until 20 September when the city was cleared of insurgents. I have amended Lucknow to Delhi. The citation now quoted is as it appears in the London Gazette. Anthony Staunton (talk) 14:01, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Steinbrücken Cave

message: There's far too little caving information in wikipedia.  Anyone who has doubts that this is relevant information, please reconsider your opinion by surfing through List of transsexual porn stars.  The purpose of pages about caving is so that your parents or friends can read something interesting when you say you are going down Steinbrückenhöhle, and they don't know what you are talking about.  Also, if something dreadful happens down this cave (or any other cave), and the local newspaper reporter wants to find out the background on the terrible hole you lost your life in, this is probably going to be where they get their information -- if there is some relevant information here.  So, with those purposes in mind, we want an idea of history, the amount of activity that has been going on, including details of any incidents people are going to want to include their story or conversations, and maybe a picture they can use.  Everything should be properly cited to the technical sources, so they can follow up for more detailed information, and so on.  Basically, in my opinion, if there's any poor coverage in the media about anything to do with caving, it's now entirely our own fault.  We have the ability to fix it, and cover for what they don't have in their own internal libraries.  Goatchurch 00:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Science fiction critics

message: There are a number of notable critics in this field who lack Wikipedia. This list includes only those with pre-existing wikipedia pages. A disproportionate number of the sf critics without wikipedia pages are women (for example award-winning critic Veronica Hollinger and Sarah LeFanu (author of In the Chinks of the Wolrd Machine: Feminism & Science Fiction, Women's Press, 1988.)

replies: text: I think it would be perfectly appropriate to list (noteworthy) critics who did not (yet) have articles. Of course, if one notes something missing in Wikipedia, one can create or request entries to be created.

Talk:Rambahadur Limbu

message: I believe that this article could be improved by addressing the following:
* the infobox needs more information (e.g. years of service, exact date of birth);
* the article needs to be expanded to discuss the subject's life in more detail, e.g. early life (date of birth, place, parent's names/family details, education), 
* the article needs to be expanded to discuss the subject's later life e.g. when did he leave army, what did he do, where is he currently living (country), etc. 
* and of course, all this needs citations.
Just a few ideas. I have tried to help where I could, but for some reason it is not easy to find information out about this subject. An exact date of birth would be great if anyone could find it. Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 04:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Rheneas

message: For new Wikipedia users/Thomas fans, this page is the main article for the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends character, Rheneas. This page discusses both The Railway Series version, and the TV series version.
While it may seem logical to always put this page as a link when concerning Rheneas in another article, please create links to the appropriate all-character page instead.
For instance, when discussing the TV series adaption of the character, please use this link:
Rheneas, which appears like this: Rheneas
And for the Railway Series adaptation, this link:
Rheneas, which appears like this: Rheneas
A link to this article is found in the 'Rheneas' section on either of the all-character pages. This is so that, if the brief summary provided on the all-character page is not enough, the reader may select the link to this page to study the character in more detail.
Please follow these guidelines for consistency in Thomas-related articles. Thank you.

message: Notwithstanding the London Gazette references regarding rank - I have a copy of:

That publication discusses in an oblique (wartime censorship in action ) manner the mission in which he was awarded the VC.  His rank (in 1942) is illustrated and noted as Wing Commander.
So either a mistake - or he was "acting" Wing Commander in early 1942.
