thread_title:  about the explanation for the star... 

message: The coat of arms on the current Flag of Massachusetts is off center.  Is this a mistake with the real flag, or a mistake with Wikipedia?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.197.134.44 (talk) 01:52, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: You are quite correct, IP user, it was off center! It should not be. Wonder how that happened? I've uploaded a new, centered version of the flag image, so it should be corrected now. (You may need to bypass your browser cache when reloading the page, to see the updated flag image.) -- FeRDNYC (talk) 18:29, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

text: And I've now had to revert that edit, because it turns out the off-centering is neither Wikipedia's nor MA's mistake. According to the official specs, it's intentional! (Why? No idea.) -- FeRDNYC (talk) 18:37, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Flag is Off Center 

message: According to one of the external links, the obverse of the flag was changed by turning the silver star into a white star, as part of the changes in 1971.

message: Added bio ref from the Australian Dictionary of Biography, supports middle name and 1890 birth year. This seems to be the most reliable ref.

Talk:The Maggot

message: The CD packaging for these three albums is unusual in that it's back-to-front - the cover is what would ordinarily be the back of the CD case, which means that it's wider than a regular CD cover because it isn't interrupted by the spine.

message: I'm pretty sure that "Gloria" and "Party Girl" were recorded at Red Rocks, which is close to but not in Denver, unlike material for "Rattle and Hum", which was recorded at McNichols Arena in Denver. This source (http://www.discogs.com/U2-Live-Under-A-Blood-Red-Sky/release/1341856) indicates that these songs were recorded on June 5, 1983, and this source (http://www.u2gigs.com/show459.html) makes clear that that concert was at Red Rocks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rks13 (talk • contribs) 23:52, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The concert was at Red Rocks, but the liner notes credit the recording location as Denver. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk •  contributions) 13:13, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically Red Rocks isn't located in Denver (which is about 15 minutes away), but Denver was just used as it's the closest major city to the venue.  During "Gloria", you can hear Bono mention Red Rocks, which further states it was recorded there.  Also a source in U2 Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky confirms this. –Dream out loud (talk) 05:36, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm aware of where Red Rocks is, I'm just trying to adhere to the same language used in the liner notes. Denver does own and operate the amphitheatre, FYI, even though is is near Morrison. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk •  contributions) 05:51, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

text: The question is whether what the article should use information that is more accurate but different from what's listed in the liner notes. I prefer to list it as Red Rocks, but I don't feel strongly about it. Rks13 (talk) 17:14, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
