Talk:James Whitley Deans Dundas

message: This entry reads as if parts have been taken over wholesale from a 19th-century source. Consider the sentences "Dundas's conduct with reference to this bombardment has been much criticised; and many writers, following the Times correspondent, have repeated the current gossip of the camp, circulated in ignorance of the many details which cramp and control a commanding officer. At the same time, it is difficult not to believe that Dundas, though a most estimable gentleman, brave and chivalrous, was old both in years and constitution, and was wanting in the energy which the occasion demanded." The style and use of the present tense suggest a Victorian writer. The content may be unexceptionable but it should be modernized. Cenedi (talk) 09:44, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Terrorist 

message: It is clear that some people contributing do not really know the difference between the City of London and Greater London, which is a much larger area. 
The Ring of Steel surrounds the City, which is about a square mile in size, not the much larger area of Greater London. It is also manned by City of London Police, the specific Police force of the City, and not Metropolitan Police. You can tell this by the red and white dicing on the sentry boxes, if it were metropolitan police it would be blue and white dicing. 
Therefore, saying that the IRA infiltrated the ring of steel to bomb the docklands in 1996 is factually wrong, as 'the docklands', specifically Canary Wharf, is wholly outside the City and thus the ring of steel, it is infact over a mile away.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by God Save Queen Elizabeth (talk • contribs) 20:04, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

The remaining of 15 people who were on the ship, only 12 managed to escape, while the other three were shot in the head by the shinbu cival Indian war tribe. Just in, Shasi Kenbi Yoto who was 88 years old at the time when he was on the boat, was not said shot in the head he had jumped of the boat, and then a bulldog shark ate him as he was frightened. Off the Alaskan Bay, Shinlo Estuvien, (72 year old American) was most definitely a traitor to the others. He signaled the Indians to kill them while on the boat and had stole their money then left. Vlonshiffen Vanpandorf James II was a person who also existed as one of the Indians, but he was no Indian, he was a spy. He was fluent in the language and distracted them so the survivors could get away, which he managed to pull off."

message: The comment that since the remainder of the polar party died, suffering from scurvy may have saved Evans life is speculative and factually unsupported.

Evans Lashley and Crean began their return jouney on 4th January 1912. South with Scott Evans 1953 Collins p 210. Had Evans been so unfit would it be likely that Scott would decide to take an extra man to the pole and leave Lashley and Crean, enlisted men, to make the journey home with only a sick officer to navigate?

replies: text: Just in general, it's not a great idea to go below parish level unless the article is really bursting at the seams - it all gets a bit arbitrary defining what a "settlement" is, as in this case where West Stourmouth is just a couple of scattered farms, plus the church. Whereas East Stourmouth (generally known simply as "Stourmouth") is a proper little village - except it doesn't have a church. Aside from the uncertainty as to whether or not to use "East", I think it makes more sense to treat the whole unit, church and population centre, as one unit. Potentially you could split off the church as a separate article in the long run, but for now I've been WP:BOLD and merged East Stourmouth into Stourmouth. It also solves the district issue, there's no question that Stourmouth the parish is in Dover district. Le Deluge (talk) 23:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

message: The second paragraph, added by Dmknable on 26-September-2009, is a boiled down version of a tale which is circulating the web.  
Among other things this paragraph states, "The general manager of Montgomery Ward offered Robert May a nominal fee to purchase the rights to print the book."
In the first paragraph it states, "He then went on to join Montgomery Ward where he created Rudolph in 1939 as an assignment for the company."
These statements appear to be in conflict.  The version that he created the story on assignment appears to be in agreement with Snopes, http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/rudolph.asp .

message: Self-dual figure was a bad name for this article, so I have moved it back to its old name for now. 
"Figure" is a general term for all kinds of geometrical construction, and there are many kinds of duality. If one wanted to discuss this, then "Self duality" would be a better title. However here we are restricting ourselves to polytopes and related constructions: as it stands the page might be titled "Self-dual polytope".
However I think it more appropriate to move the discussions of individual dimensionalities to sections within their respective discussions on dualitiy generally, such as Dual polyhedron. Likewise any general discussion can move to Dual polytope. There is then nothing left behind and this page can become a redirect.

Category talk:WikiProject U.S. Congress

message: :Some of this was moved from my user_talk page.
Hey, I just noticed the new subcategories you created for WikiProject Congress articles. They look great. I was kicking around your suggestion to do so, and your way is cleaner. My original thought was to have a subcategory for districts, one for senators, one for representatives, one for committees, one for ordinal congresses and so on. Take a look at my user page for a test I was working on. Do you think more detail like that would be appropriate, or would that get too complex and general subcategories is the way to go. If anything, we might want to have a senators and representatives subcategory, and leave persons for congressional officers and other non-elected employees. If you have no objections, I may create those two additional subcategories.
Also, I'm thinking some items could be categories more than one way with such a system. For example, I would consider the United States Botanic Garden both a place and a thing. Do we want a buildings category to differentiate between a thing like the House of Representatives and a place like the Hart Senate Office Building?
