Talk:Point Pedro

message: Although the official name of the island of Ceylon is Sri Lanka, in north and east provinces the name is not recognized - rather it is considered offensive. It is more appropriate to use the term Ceylon when mentioning aspecets of the Northern and Eastern parts of the island.
What a nonsense. The name of the whole Island is Sri Lanka. It's rather offensive to call Sri lanka ceylon, because Sri lanka is not a colony any more. Keep the LTTE propaganda away from Sri lanka section.  Ceylonpedia (talk) 17:00, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Genius 

message: Much of this article is lifted with very little modification from MacKenzie Wilson's allmusic.com bio of Germano. Compare, for example, these first few sentences from that site with the "biography" section of this article: "Born in Mishawaka, IN, at the dawn of 1958, Germano was the middle of six kids. Her parents were teachers and musicians who encouraged their children to learn an instrument until they turned 18. At the age of seven, she wrote her first piece of music, a 15-minute opera on the piano and, in due time, Germano learned the violin, an instrument that would ultimately guide her to a professional career in music."

Talk:List of Oklahoma townships

message: I have intentionally not made wiki-links of these entries. While some townships might be noteworthy enough for an article, we can always add the link. Oklahoma does have some few government functions relating to land that may happen in a township, but the structure is so little used that they just don't seem to be encyclopedic. The names themselves, however, are sometime of use to Genealogists and local historians. So, it seems worthwile for Wikipedia to have the list. Lou I 10:46, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

This signifies to me while a footstool is an ottoman, an ottoman, however, is not necessarily a footstool, and could be, for example, a back-less couch. -Transce080 (talk) 02:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello Dyvost, I've added a bibliography serving as reference material. Unfortunately, the best sources on Wolof are publicized in French and German. The reference material usually give the percentages, so that the actual number of an ethnic group has to be calculated from the number of the population and the percentage. The total number of Senegal's or the other countries' population are found in governmental databases like those of the German or U.S. State Department (e.g. US State Dpt. page on Senegal http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2862.htm).

Talk:Art Porter Jr.

message: According to the orbituary  the boating accident happened at the Kratha Taek reservoir. According to the base article from Wikinfo it was in Sai Yok. The problem is: there are no other references in the web to a Kratha Taek reservoir. As romanization of Thai names is a pain, there are often many different spellings for the same thing, it's of course possible that Kratha Taek is just an usual spelling. However, there are only two big reservoirs in the Kanchanaburi province - Khao Laem and Sri Nagarind are both unlikely to be spelled that way, and both are not in Sai Yok, but in other districts. andy 13:03, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Finally I can find it - the Thai name is ห้วยกระทะแตก (Huai Kratha Taek), and with an average volume of 1.277 km³ it's a rather small reservoir, that's why it was impossible to find with english sources.

How is it not a contract? For example, in a deed of change of name, wouldn't it be a contract between the person and the government that both will use the new name in, say, tax correspondence? --Damian Yerrick 16:12, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Not a contract"? 

message: I am slightly confused, because the CAB say that in England and Wales you can change your name by merely adopting a new one, provided there is no intent of fraud or deception.  They add that there is no legal way to change your name; in certain circumstances, however, third parties may require evidence of the name change, and a deed poll is one of a number of ways to prove this change.  If no-one objects, I'll update the page to reflect that.

thread_title:  DAB Page 

message: It doesn't seem reasonable to me to define "country house" as something that exists only in the UK and Ireland. Even within the Anglophone world there are plenty of rural estates called by that name--in my home state of Massachusetts in the USA, for example, we have such estates as The Mount, the Lyman Estate, and the Gore Place, all of which are described as country houses in their respective Wikipedia articles. And it doesn't seem unreasonable to me to use the English-language term "country house" as a catchall term for genteel/aristocratic mansions in the countryside, whatever country they're in--i.e., it would seem like the most reasonable English term to use to describe the category to which Italian villas, French chateaux, and German Schlösser belong. If "country house" isn't the right general term for such structures, what is?  206.208.105.129 (talk) 13:17, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:American Specialty Cars

message: ASC invended the glass-panel "moonroof", both inward- and outward-folding soft convertible tops, and modern retractable hardtops.  If this is supposed to be invented, I nonetheless still find it hard to believe—wasn't this company founded in 1965?  Surely there is evidence of older moonroofs, and it's obvious that convertible tops are older. --Milkmandan 15:30, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)
:ASC claims to have invented these things on their web site.  I'd be happy to see it proved wrong, though. --SFoskett 17:00, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
::ASC did not invent the convertible, but DID invent and patent the inward-folding convertible top.  This is a technique for packaging a top more efficiently, allowing convertibles to be used across a wider spectrum of vehicles.  I think you'll find that, although solid panel sunroofs predated ASC, their invention of the movable glass panel (commonly referred to as the "moonroof") was a much more desirable option and resulted in overwhelming consumer demand.CarNut 19:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:News

message: I've created this new category to incorporate newsworthy items into a categorised system.  The idea being:
*News from just one day/month is included in the month category (ie. :Category:December 2004 news)
*News items from more than one month are included in the year category (ie. :Category:2004 news)
*News items from more than one year are included in the decade category (ie. :Category:2000s news)
The idea is to collect together news items that may not be covered in other sections (sports, conflicts, etc).  An example would be Rumaisa Rahman, the smallest baby ever born, who was in the news from the 20th of December for that simple fact.  Not wanting to cast doubt on her future achievements but what are the possibilities that that article will be linked to from many others?  And the only suitable category at present is :Category:2004 births.
