Talk:Portsmouth, Ohio

Correction on the mural artist from Daffner to Dafford.
Shoot I didn't log in. This is stege1. Someone should do an article on the floodwalls.
If anyone has any info on the Steel-shoes or Redsbirds please upload it.
This is a very good article about Portsmouth, however the source you sited about Portsmouth's population being 50K in 1907 is wrong. According to the 1900 U.S. Census the population of Portsmouth was 17,870. The total population for Scioto County was only 40,981. Portsmouth's population peaked in 1930 at 42,560 according to the U.S. Census. It is also my opinion that the city's decline was also due in part to the development of the Interstate Highway system. Portsmouth's industries as of much of Appalachia found themselves isolated because no interstate highways were built in the region. Because of this they could not complete with cheaper transportation costs when the shipping of goods and products moved from rail to trucks. In order to complete industry had to move out of the Portsmouth area and move to cities connected to the interstate system.
I thought you might want to know this because the article is put together so well. -ldmullins —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldmullins1958 (talk • contribs) 18:13, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: This section is the longest, by a significant factor.  Is this the biggest and most important item to describe this small city?  Should there be a standalone article for "Appalachian prescription drug epidemic", rather than this huge section in the Portsmouth article, which makes this one small city seem the worst on planet earth?  I also note that the freshest reference is a stale 4 1/2 years old.  This is not meant to belittle this critical issue - just looking for a bit more concise section, a bit more balance vis the rest of the article, and current updates.

replies: text: Reverted to dab page. Metros232's results were correct, however "North Atlantic Refining Company" is not a common, or even accurate, name for the company in question (legal name is North Atlantic Refining Ltd., but in marketing it's usually just "North Atlantic"). "North Atlantic Refining" brings up ~12,800 results on Google, and (for me at least) the oil company is the top result when searching "North Atlantic". — stickguy (:^›)— || talk || 22:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Re-reverted. What counts is not the google results, but what people normally understand by it. This is illustrated by the fact that for a year and a half no-one seems to have found this redirect a problem and just a few weeks after you've reverted I am so surprised to find this a redirect that I checked the talk page. I don't know which google you use, but when I google 'north atlantic' I get loads of different results. I suppose there should be a separate disambig page for this term, but under the title North Atlantic (disambiguation). So I'll create that. DirkvdM 06:50, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Flood plain

message: If you ignore the sampling bias, "floodplain" gets 4877 and 6910000 hits from Web of Science (an academic search engine) and from Google, respectively; "flood plain" gets 1197 and 3140000 hits respectively. (Bear in mind that the majority of English speaking webpages are American, and I think the majority of relevant academic journals are as well.) The difference is just over a factor of two, not an order of magnitude which would be the clear decider for me.
Looking at my collection of [mainly academic] books, taking note of the nationality of the writers, "flood plain" appears to be used in UK, "floodplain" in NZ, and both seem to be used in the US, but it looks like "floodplain" is gaining in popularity there judging by the date of publication. In a book writen by continental Europeans, "floodplain" was adopted.
The Webster-Merriam Dictionary uses "floodplain". The Oxford English Dictionary online uses "flood-plain", but this entry seems to be out of date online.
The edit history for "flood plain" is a matter on months older, and a matter of edits longer, than that of "floodplain", whose edits actually includes plenty of inconsequential edits. Neither article stands out above the otehr in terms of quality.
So, it's not clear cut to me which is the more appropriate term based on international usage. I'd say any intro must delineate both. I think it's important to have a balance of usages across WP, reflecting the balance in actual English usage (what's the policy on this?), so I wouldn't resort to the WoS of Google metrics as the decider. I expect "flood plain" will continue to fade from usage, but I suggest it be the one used here, for now, based on WP activity. And I say that as a technical user of "floodplain".

message: In the Classic period the piano did not replace the harpsichord. Composers such as Haydn and Mozart still played it and composed for it, both in operas as well as some Sonatas. Yes, the harpsichord did disappear later in the 19th century, but has reappeared in the 20th, both for period instrument performances as well getting some new repertoire.

thread_title:  What about percussion? 

message: In the see-also section, we did have "list of recorder players". I've deleted this link on the grounds that it's no more logical than to have "list of cornett players", "list of harpsichord players" or list-of for any of the instruments named. The see-also section would have to duplicate the entire preceding list. I can see the point of retaining castrato in the see-also section because the human voice is an instrument, and yet castrati are not something that will ever happen again, so that "instrument" is not available in period form to those who pursue historically-informed performance. Hope this is okay? I will check that the recorder article refers to the list of recorder players. Elemimele (talk) 21:18, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

message: The infobox lists place of origin as Israel, but the text of the article states that Bourekas were created by Sephardic Jews living throughout Ottoman lands, then brought to Israel during the Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries.

For Bourekas, I think "region or state: Israel" would make sense, while "place of origin: Israel" seems incorrect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.196.181.137 (talk) 01:28, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Alfred M. Keuler
PS.You find this concept also in Bulgaria,Slowakia,Vietnam and it is also prepared
for Germany and USA.
Firstly, there are no references here. Secondly, this article is not about the concept of Ecoparks but for a specific implementation of that concept in Hong Kong. If what Mr. Keuler writes is true (that there are more initiatives in other countries) then the article should be re-written including definition, principles, theory, background, goal, etc. of Ecoparks as a concept (with references of course) and include the Hong Kong case together with other cases as examples with short description.

Talk:Government of Meiji Japan

message: I am ecstatic to find that the Wikipedia article on this subject seems (upon admittedly quite cursory examination) to reflect such an accurate picture of the complex events of this period. All too often we are presented with stereotypical or superficial versions of the story which make it sound as if a fully-formed, fully functional government sprang up overnight in 1868 and saw little to no change since then. I am sure, of course, that this article could use expansion, as most articles could, but we are off to much better than a good start with this. Two suggestions: (1) Check into the macrons. Should Ito Hirobumi be Itō Hirobumi? Should other names be macronned? (2) A section discussing the role of Satsuma & Choshu in government, and maybe their growing or falling degree of influence, concerns among others over the disproportionate power wielded by these groups, etc...
