Talk:Arthur V. Watkins

message: There IS an article for Arthur V. Watkins, who is the same guy as Arthur Vivian Watkins.  
Who was Watkins' predecessor in the Senate, and how do we get that handy box that lists predecessors and successors? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Edarrell (talk • contribs).
I had spent some time here earlier, checking the facts on a much longer article that linked to several already in Wikipedia.  It strikes me as patently bizarre that the article on the dam and lake named after the man is longer than the article on the man himself, who honorably and nobly chaired the committee that disciplined Sen. Joe McCarthy.
As a part-time historian with a real job, I wonder whether it's worthwhile to work here when someone appears to have a bias against this guy and his biography, or some process wipes out the work. Edarrell (talk) 01:39, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The wholesale deletion of the article was uncalled for. Much of what was removed was blue-linked and cited elsewhere on WP. Those citations should be found (they are already on WP) and copied to this article.
Further, the text (as restored) has some material that looks like opinion and probably can't be sourced... those items should be pruned. Jd2718 (talk) 12:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Restoring the article

message: Regarding the move of this page, Arthur V. Watkins (62%) and Arthur Watkins (35%) are the only iterations of Watkins's name that constitute over 5% of references to him on newspapers.com from 1940 to 1975. Star Garnet (talk) 05:50, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Jackson King V

message: I think the descriptions of the models are incorrect. The article states that the KVX10 had a Floyd Rose and that the Jenna Jameson model is the only string-thru variant. However, I personally own the standard KVX10 model and it is string-thru - that was why I bought it. I don't recall whether the model was originally available in both Floyd Trem and hardtail versions, but I believe it would be better to amend it to say this as it's more accurate than what's currently there.

thread_title: Model errors

message: 1) Crosby was the first one to commission what we now know as the King V.  Linsk custom model does not even resemble the actual King V
2) RATT and Crosby were multi platinum artists from 1983-1990 and Crosby was the one most associated with the guitar until their commercial demise.  Megadeth did not even have a gold record nor had any videos played MTV until 1988 so I doubt Mustaine exposure helped sell the guitar until Rust In Peace.  
3) The Mustaine line of King V's did not go into production until the 90's.
4) Dave Mustaine did not attempt to purchase Jackson Guitars.  The company sold to Fender in the lower 100 million dollar range for cash and I doubt Mr Mustaine has that lying around.  This was the most absurd statement of them all.
5) Actually Mustaine did try to buy Jackson on 2 different occasions and there are a few youtube videos where he states this  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.15.115.63 (talk) 02:50, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Ring of Fire (anthology)

message: Seriously, Ring of Fire needs to be shorten into a summary, but not an advertisement gimmick.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drgyen (talk • contribs) 19:20, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In my opinion this may be the least fannish of the Grantville articles, lol. There are no adjectives stating how wonderfee it all is, etc. Could you be more specific about which sections you think should be changed? I do think that the Background, Premise and "Departure" sections should be condensed and combined into one.

Talk:Ontarian French

message: There is no such dialect as "Ontarian French"; therefore, this article should simply be deleted. Francophone Ontarians speak Quebec French due to long-standing historical, economic, cultural, and religious ties to Quebec and Montreal (fur trade, settlement, direct control of churches from the Montréal bishop, media, etc.). Moreover, the examples are misleading since both "truck" and "pick-up" are commonly used in informal Quebec French.
What distinguishes the Franco-Ontarians' speech, overall, is their degree of French-English bilingualism, not French usage. Remember, there is absolutely no change in dialect when you cross from Ottawa to Gatineau or from Grenville to Hawkesbury. Remember also that Sudbury and Timmins are relatively close to Quebec; their francophones, who are in the minority there, are of the most bilingual in Canada. CJ Withers 20:47, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd have to agree.  The (completely unsourced) article seems to suugest that Ontario French is a separate dialect simply due to the increased use of English words.  Does that make Quebec English a separate dialect because they tend to use words like "dep"?  Complete nonsense.  Merge into Quebec French.  Skeezix1000 11:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Being a franco-ontarian myself, I don't recognize any difference between Quebec and Ontarian french. The words "truck" and "pick-up" are also very misleading; I've almost never heard someone use these words (unless speaking english). Among the older generation, whereas most could not have french education past 8th grade, a lot more anglicisms are used, but nowadays, it's not a very convincing factor for declaring ontarian french a very distinct/different dialect.  Anyhow, I've applied a redirect to Franco-Ontarian#Language, which was basically were this article had came from. Io Katai 09:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The tone in the first few sections of this article seems a bit odd for an encyclopedia. It's very casual, and there are no citations. I haven't changed it mostly because I don't know enough about the facts involved to be certain I won't cut out something that is in fact true. If someone who knows a bit more about the Ducati/Cagiva negotiations history has the time to clean up the tone a little, that'd be great. Some inline citations would help as well.

message: An article published in the Travel section of the BBC's website on 26 Apr 2018  lists the width of the gap as 56cm; this would be about 22 inches, 10 inches shorter than the width currently listed in this article.  It is difficult to determine the correct width from the picture, but it would appear to support the shorter measurement.  (A photograph in the BBC article shows a passing moped straddling the plank easily.)  Atlas Obscura also supports 22 inches, and a tourism site, Bermuda4U, gives the width as 18 inches.

Talk:Great Sound

message: Looking just at a map of the exposed islands of Bermuda gives a distorted picture of the extent of the pedestal. The islands are along the southeast edge of a much larger circle of reef. This reef provides some protection from the Atlantic. For instance, when navigating to Bermuda from the north west, it would be disastrous to attempt to sail directly into the great sound. The actual entry is on the eastern side near Saint Georges and you must go around the reef. One marked point on this reef is called Northeast Breaker. I suggest you look for this and related features on an ocean chart, e.g. NOAA 5161, and then revise the description of the Great Sound.

thread_title:  Translation of tetracolon 

message: In that section, some of the supposed counter-examples actually are true examples of isocolon, by the definition that it uses parallelism and the same word or syllable count.  "Lost and found" and "over and done with" each use two adjective phrases, so would they not also count as bicolon? I might be tempted to think it's something about them being gerunds, but "alive and kicking" (with the exact same structure) is listed as an example directly above them.

thread_title:  Special Cases? 

message: If it's true that isocolon "is a rhetorical scheme in which parallel elements possess the same number of words or syllables," then most of the examples don't satisfy that definition. Here are the first three examples given for bicolon:
* "buy one, get one free" (two words and two syllables, then three words and three syllables)
* "When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people" (six words and nine syllables, then eight words and twelve syllables)
* "Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion." (four words and nine syllables, then three words and seven syllables)
These are simply parallel statements with no apparent regard to matching word counts or syllable counts. Either the definition should be changed, or most of the examples should be replaced.
