Talk:Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake

message: About the spelling: It says "Ogdens'" on the cover, but I've always assumed that this was a typo (or in this case, "painto"). All the catalogue's I've seen give the title as Ogden's, and that's also on the CD version I've got. Don't currently have a vinyl edition to check the label.
I would like to get this cleared up, otherwise there may be a spelling war for the correct placement of the article.

thread_title:  Album Title 

message: Perhaps someone who's a better researcher can confirm some part of this.
Derek Burton, who subsequently lived in the US and worked for years as the art director of the men's mag Gallery, was designer of the original die-cut version of this LP jacket, though I've yet to find a confirming source. After Gallery, he entered publishing as a principal in a firm that briefly published a true-crime magazine called CrimeBeat. Throughout the time I knew him, Derek was a terrible drunkard who pined miserably for his glory days of partying with Brit popstars. He succeeded in drinking himself to death a couple of years after CrimeBeat failed. Bustter (talk) 01:44, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Might you change the first line from "was a successful concept album" to "is a concept album." Successful, while perhaps true of Ogden's, is too subjective for a first line. Who's to say what is a success? Tom Waits selling 500,000 copies of an album is a success for him. It wouldn't be a success for Abbey Road to have sold 500,000 copies. Besides, you give the album's chart number and the "1001 Albums" reference. I think the reader can figure out from these references that the album was successful.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.229.61.31 (talk) 16:05, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Mount Kazbek

message: GVP only lists Georgia for the country and if you use their coordinates, the mountain is in Georgia according to opentopomap.org although the given coordinates are not accurate enough to put the map marker on the summit location. Using the article's current coordinates opentopomap.org shows the summit on the border although the coordinates map marker is clearly within Osettia - the coordinates are sourced from peaklist.org and while I consider this a good source, whether the coordinates are truly accurate is hard to determine. If you zoom in to the max, the 5050? contour line is mostly in Georgia but a small portion of the northwestern area crosses the international boundary. The actual summit point (small "x") appears to be wholly in Georgia but it's so close to the boundary, I don't think I would definitely claim it is only in Georgia at this point. I immediately think of Mt. Everest where the summit is officially declared as being on the border of Nepal and Tibet (China). The mountain itself is clearly in Georgia and Osettia.

Talk:Kala Patthar

message: Both the text and the attached photograph refer to "Pumori".
Technically the name "Pumori" is incorrect.
In Nepali, "ri" = "mountain".
Thus the correct name is "Pumo Ri".
For example, Kala Pattar's equivalent "hill" just a few miles west in the Gokyo Valley is "Gokyo Ri", and not "Gokyori."
It's not a big deal since "Pumori" is in fact used colloquially 99 percent of the time, despite it being incorrect.
I've also noted this on the talk page for the gallery kalapattar.jpg.

Treluckey (talk) 11:09, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It may have another name but I think that feature is usually referred to as "Everest's West Shoulder" or the West Shoulder. It's a little bit of optical illusion in that it's not really a mountain as it appears viewed from Kala Patthar, it's actually the end of the West Ridge viewed edge-on.
