thread_title:  could Shuah be short for Joshua? 

message: the following picture was removed from the article by Dougweller on aug 4 of 2009:
the reason given being 'remove pov image - we don't and can't know if any of these people were real, and image suggested we did'.

Talk:TLA (disambiguation)

message: This page, "Talk:TLA (disambiguation)", should not be used for any further discussion, as the corresponding page is now a redirect.
Previous discussion can also be found at Talk:Three-letter abbreviation, and Talk:Three-letter acronym, further talk pages corresponding to redirect pages.
Please add any current discussions only to:
* Talk:TLA to discuss the current disambiguation page
* Talk:Three letter acronym to discuss that page and related issues.  PamD 12:25, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I have requested that this page be moved to "TLA", after discussions on "talk:three letter acronym" which agreed this to be the prefered outcome.  It can't be done using a simple "MOVE" because what is already at TLA is not just a redirect but has history.
The desired outcome is: "TLA" or "tla" both reach this disambig page, which does not have "disambiguation" in the title in future. This is in recognition of the fact that "TLA" is a widely used set of initials, and that having it point to "three letter acronym" (as it used to do) was inappropriate verging onto POV.  We have tidied up various pages, all that is now needed is to rename "TLA (disambiguation)" to plain "TLA" (and then tidy any redirects needed). PamD 12:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Sumner McKnight Crosby

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians, 
I would like to add an external link to the The Sumner McKnight Crosby Papers archival materials held by The Met. Please take a moment to review my suggestion and let me know if you have any objections or changes. 
*IN EXTERNAL LINKS: The Sumner McKnight Crosby Papers from The Cloisters Library, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 
COMMENT: This collection contains papers from Crosby’s extensive study of Saint- Denis in France used in his final monograph. Also the collection has material dated to the 18th and 19th century studies of Saint-Denis. 
Contains a wide variety of material pertaining to the royal abbey of Saint-Denis in France. While the bulk dates of the papers correspond to Crosby's most active years of study and excavation at Saint-Denis, some materials within the collection date before and after his lifetime. Earliest material were collected by Crosby for their references to the Medieval abbey, such as eighteenth and nineteenth-century engravings of Saint-Denis and photographs taken ca. 1900. The latest items generally pertain to Crosby's final monograph on Saint-Denis, 1987.--Mkessler.nyc (talk) 19:55, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Talk:2006 Russia–Georgia energy crisis

message: According to the article, only the Georgian government declared it a sabotage. The Russians and Chechens denied involvement, so the title, which is now known as the 2006 North Ossetia sabotages, seems biased towards the Georgian government. Just wanted to point that out.

thread_title: Title?

message: This article is full of Georgian POV, with the only opposing POV being 5 words from Russia. Although this is hardly a notable incident, within the 3 sources present on the article, there is much more which can be added to help NPOV out the pro-Georgian POV. For example, experts called Georgian claims "infantile". This type of criticism needs to be present in the article before the POV tag can be removed. --Russavia Let's dialogue 15:38, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Where do you exactly see the text "full of Georgian POV"? Can you please also give the number of words of Georgian POV so as to compare to the opposing 5 words from Russia? Could you also cite those "experts"? Experts are also in the opposing camp and Wikipedia is not a collection of quotes of "I said 'yes', you said 'no'" type?

message: Is it just me, or does the Flying Picket's rendition of this tune sound as though it has been augmented by a sampling synth, such as the Fairlight CMI? It may sound like "a cappella", but I'll wager that it wasn't (strictly speaking..)  Paul-b4 13:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that "a cappella" should be in quotes in this case - singing a single note or making a noise into a sampling keyboard and compiling the sampled sounds into a backing track is not in the spirit of true a capella - all of the sounds (including any impressions of musical instruments and rhythms) should really eminate from the singers directly rather than from a musical instrument which just happens to sound exactly like them.

thread_title:  Terminology 

message: :  In the early 70's, I was talking to Sam Chidester, a retired Pere Marquette Railway engineer and Herschal Christiansen, a retired Pere Marquette yard master.  They would come out to MSU to give us advice on restoring the 1225.  I mentioned that the pony truck axle on the 1225 needed turning.  They both laughed and then informed me that "pony truck" was considered to be archaic and only applied to engines small enough to be pulled by ponies if they broke down or needed an assist going up hill.  A true pony truck was set up to be pulled.  With the advent of larger and heavier engines, the term lead truck was used, as the possibilities for pulling by horse were eliminated and modern couplers were placed at the front of the engine.  Sam stated and Herschal agreed that someone who used the term "pony truck" would be laughed at by people working at the PMRY.  Both agreed that the term was obsolete when they started working for the railroad in the early teens.  I don't know how accurate what they told me was, but they were quite adamant.  Sam stated that only non-railroad people used the term with a modern engine.  It was still correct with an engine from the 1800's or if you were talking to a Canadian.

message: Following comment on origin of name moved from article. Keith D (talk) 22:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Origin of name

message: "A Vision of Britain through Time", which is a pretty good online reference for former governmental authorities in charge of smaller places, does not give Stokesley Rural District as having anything to do with West Acklam. This is perfectly reasonable when one looks at maps. However, Stockton, in County Durham, was the Registration District and Poor Law Union until 1875.
I am also confused by the comment "one-time focus of the parish" used in the Geography section. The sentence goes on to mention "residence of the Hustler family and Restoration mansion, Acklam Hall". The focus of a parish is surely the focus of the residents of a parish. What relationship was there between the ordinary residents and Acklam Hall? From the rest of the sentence I would have perhaps expected a comment about agriculture or some other industry carried on in the area.
Someone has attempted to condense facts into such a small number of words that the words left do not make sense.
