Talk:Gambling advertising

message: I had written: 
For example, PartyPoker.com and ActionPoker.com both have ".net" sites where players play for points and not cash. However, they use the exact same software as the gambling sites.

They do use the same software. The examples should link to PartyGaming then, perhaps, that is the parent company. Please don't add again I don't understand since examples are both necessary and relevant. Nevertheless, rather than reverting again, I am posting this in discussion to get consensus.

replies: text: The do NOT use the same software.  That is completely false.  Anyone playing on a .net site does not have access to the cashier or the money games or many other things that are accessible via the real money software.  The games do play the same and the the .net games play on the same games as the free .com games, but they are not the same software.  I did add examples for the two largest such sites since that is the only reasonable criteria for examples.  I don't think they are needed, but that should address your concern. 2005 01:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Party Poker/Action Poker

message: This unsourced paragraph should be removed but I'm unsure what to put in its place.
"In Australia, the principle gaming agency TAB (Totalisator Agency Board) ran advertisements on TV during the 1990s, under the tagline "The Adrenaline Bet" (a play on the company's name). Since then, the TAB has been restricted from all advertising on television and other media, but is still allowed to print race dividends in the newspaper. "
It's factually wrong to say TAB doesn't advertise (on TV or elsewhere). Many sporting broadcasts are littered with ads for wagering companies. 
And each state has different regulations about how said companies can advertise (eg. NSW won't allow bonus bet promotions) MelbourneStart (talk) 03:38, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Education in the Thirteen Colonies

message: "Education in 18th century United States" is an ambiguous heading because the American colonies did not truly become the United States until 1789 (passage of Constitution).  Also, this article covers the 17c as well as the 18c.  I recommend renaming it "Education in colonial America" or "Education in 17th and 18th century British North America."  I prefer the former, which is common usage; the latter is precise but clunky.

message: Fat man and little boy, two of the greatest but nasty bombs ever , er , a dropped.
of freaks baybee.
The dope question is this, the image of FAT MAN shows stablising fins, WHY??
The warhead (not the mother-in-law) is a ball of like material with a sphere of like material surrounding it, only one problem, the outer material doesn't like it's inner-cousin, pie shaped charges are arranged all around the sphere, the blast causes the two materials to combine, this gets the fight going and millions of atoms split causing a nasty "pop".
The funny thing is that it doesn't need to be stablised, anyway it was in aspect to the drop would have caused the same effect. thousands died, but not millions that would have died if "WE" had to flush the enemy at that time from their home country. so in a way it is like "Spock" said, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few....
MJB
Okay? I guess you're right, but how would the person who posted this know? ~Happyfacesrock:)
:The stabilizing fins were definitely needed. They spent a good deal of time during WWII (in what was called Project Alberta) trying to come up with Fat Man shapes that woud not roll violently when dropped out of a bombers (which could have damaged the sensitive internal components), or go radically off target. As for your description of an implosion bomb, it is highly inaccurate, see nuclear weapon design. In any case, the Fat Man physics package is not perfectly symmetrical — as the Fat Man article illustrates, while the shaped charges are of course symmetrical the electrical equipment in the fore and aft of it give it an overall egg-like shape, which is clearly visible in the casing. --24.147.86.187 23:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The Philadelphia Folk Festival insists that Wilson Farm is in Paoli in all its histories: I suspect that is the source of the erroneous reference to "Wilson Farm in Paoli" which I removed. It's not in Paoli--it's too far north and east to be in Paoli.

thread_title:  Reference to Wilson Farm 

message: The Wilson Family owned at least 500 acres in Tredyffrin, as well as sons marrying into other families.  Wilson Farm Park is misnamed as it was inherited by a daughter in the Siter family who married a Wilson, and the was named Elda Farm.  A mile or two down the road was a "Homestead" of the Wilson family starting in 1760. A 112 acre division of that property was where Colley Wilson owned the site of the PFF. It IS in Paoli. 
The property has been subdivided since and although remnants of the house exists as part of a new construction, the land is no longer open.  Chubby Checker bought one of the lots decades ago, and was still living there at my latest knowledge.
Another Wilson family descendant has acquired the Wilson Farm name for their property, and it is NOT where the PFF was located.

Talk:Invalid species and varieties of Pachypodium

message: There is information in this article that is not, and will not be, included in the article I redirected it to. That makes me a little wary of going through with the action, but I ultimately decided to redirect, since I feel that this article is too specific for an encyclopedia, not to mention the somewhat unusual nature of the information gathering process.  From what I can tell, the fellow who wrote all these Pachypodium articles went through about a half dozen sources from various time periods in the course of his research; these were the names that he found in the early sources that had been deprecated in later sources.  Besides the overreliance on the Rapanarivo book (which seems to be a problem with all the articles) the whole thing is sort of vaguely original research.  So I've redirected it.  I doubt anyone will care (this is pretty quiet corner of the 'pedia), but if you do, there's my reasoning.  If you disagree, by all means revert me, but for the life of me I can't see what else to do with this one. --RobthTalk 03:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Stephen Morin

message: There are a couple of removals that I made due to the fact that I was unable to verify the content.
* False IDs found at the motel during the attempted arrest - A source was not cited for this information and I have not seen any reference to the IDs being in the room in any newspapers.
* Abduction attempt of Sarah Pisan - KVAL reported that Morin asked Pisan to go out on a date with him, several times, but she declined/skipped. Pisan's book also stated that he asked her out for 4 months. While we can speculate that his intention was to abduct her, the actions taken do not necessarily reflect that. 
* Wallet belonging to Sarah Pisan - KVAL reported that inside Morin's wallet was 'Pisan's name and address' and on page 250 of Pisan's book she reports the same.
If a reference to the false IDs can be found it would be good to add it back. Pisan's experience with Morin is interesting but I think it would be better to add her as additional content under "Cheryl Ann Daniel" since they were friends. It would also be good to find an additional source supplementing Pisan, e.g. police statements, as I've been unable to find anything other than her recounting the story through her book, an ID TV episode, etc.
