Talk:Inverness Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)

message: I believe 1708 to perhaps 1918 the constituency was known as Inverness Burghs, implying that one or more other burghs were combined into the same constituency. I do not know which other(s). I am thinking Cromarty may have been one. (I associate Cromarty more clearly with Northern Burghs: I believe at some stage Cromarty was transferred to Northern Burghs, but I do not know where from.)

thread_title: Untitled

message: This looks confused/confusing: Parts of Inverness-shire were added in 1918. I believe prior to 1918 the constituency was a collection of burghs, of which Inverness was just one. (A list of burghs would be helpful.) In 1918 the burghs constituency ceased to exist and the burghs were merged into different constituencies, of which a constituency called Inverness was one.

thread_title:  Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber - county constituency 

message: I feel pretty sure the Inverness constituency given as existing 1918 to 1918 was a county constituency and should be seen as a continuation of the Inverness-shire constituency, but with altered boundaries. Laurel Bush 15:26, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  County constituency 

message: This categorisation is quite misleading, given that the constituency included burghs other than Inverness (all those others outside the county of Inverness) and the category is a subcategory of Politics of Highland. The Highland region was not created until 57 years after the constituency had been abolished, and the now existing unitary Highland council area dates from 26 years later than that.

thread_title:  Edit required 

message: I stumbled over these unref'd sentences (not from me): "Holly is a rugged pioneer species that preserves and enriches the soil facilitating colonization by others. It is an ecological indicator of a well-preserved or recovering area with little human intrusion." I don't know a good ref either, but i endorse this. It's even clear from the physiognomic traits and ecology. For example, I.A. spreads even under grazing animals (including cattle) and thus, claims ground areas that won't be 'disturbed' anymore. It accumulates leaves which apparently build up good humus. 
A related point of interest is about I.A. growing in dense understory flocks in "lighter" forest types (like oak woods) shading out tree seedlings. It is reproducing both from seed and clonal, all the time. Why should it ever fade away, freeing ground for other trees seedlings - if not for a forest fire ? In the absence of fire, it could potentially displace oaks, and even beeches.

Talk:Faisalabad

message: Which Sir James Lyall was Lyallpur named after? Charles James Lyall or James Broadwood Lyall? The source given in our article and the Encyclopedia Britannica article say it's Charles James Lyall, the Lt. Governon of Punjab. Fine, but this seems self-contradictory as this Lyall doesn't appear to have ever been a Governon of Punjab (not mentioned in his article, seems unlikely given the rest of his career, doesn't appear in List of governors of Punjab (British India)). James Broadwood Lyall on the other hand was a Lt. Governor of Punjab, and roughly at the same time that the city was founded, and in the History section of the current article there's mention of his involvement in its creation. The sources I've encountered so far mostly simply say "James Lyall, the Lt. Governor of Punjab" without indicating which of the two that is  ). It seems most reasonable that this is James Broadwoood Lyall, and that the sources that have it as Charles James Lyall are in error. Any thoughts?

Talk:2003 Argentine general election

message: The second paragraph of the article's Background section contains a factual error, to wit: "For the first time since 1916, the UCR did not field a presidential candidate."
Although the statement has a footnote associated to it, it is factually incorrect, and the article flatly contradicts it further down by including the UCR's presidential candidate Leopoldo Moreau and his running mate Maria Losada in the table of candidates.
Suggested action: delete the sentence at issue, insert the following after "...popular support for the UCR was at historically low levels": ", and the party would garner its worst ever result since its founding." This may require the addition of a modifier to the subsequent sentence to improve readability. Minifidel (talk) 01:11, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

“Philo Vance is more pedantic than ever and talks absolute rot except for passages quoted from encyclopedias about modern physics and math. A young scientist is 'framed' for a series of apparently meaningless killings and the solution is pulled out of a hat after Vance has finished lecturing."[1]
"The murderer in this story has an uncommon sense of humor and of sportsmanship. In a non-stop trail of successive murders, a note is discovered at each scene. Each note contains a nursery rhyme with a false clue and is signed "The Bishop." Philo Vance finally puts a stop to the fun, which had included a generous sprinkling of archery, chess and astronomy, mixed with poison and bloodshed."[2]
