Talk:Strathpeffer

message: Perhaps it would be beneficial to the readers of this page to expand upon the section regarding the history and tourism of the town.  It may interest readers to note that the history and tourism of Strathpeffer in the Victorian era are inextricably linked.  I would suggest the addition of a further section discussing the spa resort in the nineteenth century as it sits at the intersection of the two aforementioned sections.  Ways in which to expand this page to include greater consideration of the spa and its importance in developing the town in the nineteenth century could include discussion of key players, such as doctors Thomas Morison, Fortescue Fox and D. Manson as well as the first Countess of Cromartie, Anne Sutherland-Leveson-Gower.

message: Could somebody translate Pheofhair into English please. 
When I look up translations the internet is useless, it claims Pheofhair = Coffee... I think not.
I was trying to find out what the origin of the name was, best I can find is that its the name of the river Peffery, but yet again... cant find a translation.

Talk:Subinfeudation

message: Is Subinfeudation the same thing as what is called Afterlehen in German? That's only a stub article, but it seems to describe the act of enfeoffing somebody with a holding that oneself has already received from a lord as a fief. If you deem it to be more or less the same, perhaps an interwiki link is in order. As it is, neither article seems detailed enough for me to be absolutely sure.

Talk:Brown bread

message: The page links to an unrelated cereal product by the same name. There's a chemical description from an 1860s journal . Do we know it by a different name today that we could link to instead?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.70.20 (talk) 17:53, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: What was cerealine?

message: A search for "whole wheat bread", redirects to Whole Wheat Bread, a page about a punk band, which has a note at the top: "This article is about the band. For the food, see whole grain." I think searching for "whole wheat bread" should lead to this "brown bread" page instead. For now, I will modify that note to add a link to this "brown bread" page.
I don't know how to change a redirect page and don't have time right now to look into it, but I think the search for "whole wheat bread" should lead here to "brown bread" because it seems that more people would be looking for the bread, than would be looking for a punk band that is not extremely well-known. My hope is that others can work on this if it seems appropriate to do so.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fallendarling (talk • contribs) 21:38, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Sutler

message: I rated this page 2 on completeness since there is no mention of the important role sutlers played in the development of the Old Northwest.  Sutlers at places like Fort Dearborn and Fort Howard used their position to launch themselves into important general enterprise.  The article now focuses almost entirely on sutlers during war time, but sutlers at the peacetime frontier forts of the Old Northwest are frequently mentioned in the primary source historical literature and so deserve discussion in this article.  At some point I will try to add to the article, but right now I just want to make the comment in case there is someone who is more of an immediate expert.  (I am not and would need to do further research.)

Talk:Sfinx (band)

message: I started editing this article a week ago or so. Before that, I had been waiting for it to show up - for quite a while! I was glad, even when it looked very unshaved and rather stubby. For all those reasons, I've checked a number of (really reliable) sources (because when searching for history of Rock in Romania, it is difficult for many to tell real fact from legends!) and compiled them into this history section, which catches the most signifiant events in the Sfinx' story.
I suppose there is still some subject I didn't write of already: their style, influences and followers. This is even more difficult, and some music journalist's support would really help! I have some clues myself, but they are partly unchecked and original research. Some are verified, but they are like scraps which I may add to a solid body built by someone else before this.
Please subscribe below if you have some reliable information about their style and we'll see about it. Thank you again, I've already noticed that few changes were made after my edits, which is really encouraging. Impy4ever 08:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Syndic

message: This section refers to the use of the terms 'sindaco' and 'sindaca' in 'Italy and parts of Switzerland', implying (wrongly) that this usage is confined to Italian-speaking parts of Switzerland (the canton of Ticino and parts of Graubünden). In actual fact, the term 'syndic' is used in the French-speaking cantons of Vaud and Fribourg - thus the mayor of Lausanne is called the 'syndic' (two other French-speaking cantons call this 'président(e) de la commune', and the other three, including Geneva, use the standard French term 'maire'). All this can be found in the French-language version of the same article, so the English- and French-language versions provide conflicting information.213.127.210.95 (talk) 13:23, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Table-turning

thread_title:  Oppose merge to Ouija 

message: In Derren Browns show "Evening of Wonders", he did table turning.  The way he chose the people to perform it was by picking 10 people out of the audience, then he gave them all pendulums, which they held at arms length, then asked them to make it swing one way, then circles.  The four people whose pendulums swung best were chosen as the table turners.  I think this would be an interesting thing to add to the article to demonstrate the link to the ideomotor effect and suggestion (though not in the hypnosis sense, just instructions).  We can't say too much, as that might fall under original research, but worded well I think it would make a great addition.  For those in the UK, you can watch the show on Channel 4s website, this segment starts at about 33 minutes in.

Talk:Tea caddy

message: The final sentence reads: "The use of "tea caddy" instead of "biscuit tin" fell out of use in the early 1900s."
This, as it stands, is a meaningless sentence, and I propose to delete it. It may be that the editor had in mind some correlation between the two, but this is not explained. Or that they intended to write "tea canister" though an entry above says that "canister" fell out of use in the early 1800's. (This is sourced to the Victoria and Albert Museum, but the link  is broken.)
My reading of contemporary newspapers online (e.g. grocers in the East Yorkshire press) suggests that both caddy and canister were in regular use until the early 1900s, and that canister was often spelt with 2 'n's.
I will leave this a few days in case anyone has objections, or other modifications. But otherwise I will make what improvements I can.

message: I have added the notability template to this article because there doesn't seem to be much notable about the person except for his expose of the Dr Death situation, which although important, I don't believe has enough to warrant an entire article, especially when considering that the same information is presented in the Dr Patel article.
There are also few references in this article.
And finally, there is a distinct POV focus. The majority of this article is about ill feelings from the bundaberg support group. Whatever that is.
This article needs either serious work, by explaining why he is notable (according to WP standards) and rewriting to remove POV, or it needs to be deleted. Klytos 16:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I wonder what the weather was like during that time? I've heard of building on pilings to prevent buildings from "jacking" in permafrost. Or, perhaps the snow was very deep in the winter and they had to build them higher so they'd be up out of the snow?
