replies: text: Well, it's a dry subject. Unless you're interested in it. The history of dry cells actually is quite fascinating. Back in the bad old days of tube radios, they did actually make portable radios. All those walkie-talkies and handi-talkies of WW II didn't have a transistor in them. For these applications dry batteries had to be made with a great many cells, and potentials as high as several hundred volts. Those are all gone now. SBHarris 09:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Gerald Haxton

message: "However Haxton as a citizen of the United States was deported from Britain in 1919 as an undesirable alien." Implies all Americans were undesirable aliens. Gerald's probem with the law was not that he was American, but that he...what? Nobody knows. From time to time friends of Maugham's would approach powerful men saying Can't something be done about Gerald? and the answer would come back No...... It should be just about out from the Official Secrets Act by now, and perhaps Gerr's secret is a secret no longer. But deported for being an American, no. PiCo 12:48, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Yes I had a quick read of that section (bought Morgan on the weekend). Not the hotel incident (they were acquitted and he wasn't deported until some years later) - but Morgan refers to what some official told him when he tried to press the point, about Haxton being a Belgium spy. We can't know until 2019 - and by then wiki will be 3 dimensional or something.  More seriously though Belgium spy makes possible sense if you think of Maugham's spying role but then loses some reasoning if you think that they stayed together long after Maugham was in the James Bond game.

What's 'Hallam' and where does it fit in? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.170.205.195 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 29 March 2013‎ (UTC)
I am puzzled by the name too. There is of course another and earlier university called Sheffield University. Hallam is an area near Crosspool where I lived as a child. The road I lived on ends at a dead end at the back fence of the Hallam cricket and football ground. The Hallam Cricket ground, I think, is the oldest cricket ground in England or maybe wider. The area however does not seem to be well defined, although the term is widely used. --Bduke (talk) 09:28, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

message: After someone had written into the article that the place belongs to Mandya District (what I removed since it was on the wrong place and in the wrong way), I crosschecked. Results: On Mandya official district site Shivanasamudra is named, searches for Pincode/Post Office address and Bankcodes resulted also in details that Shivasamudra (the town) belongs to Malavalli Taluk/Mandya district. Could not find further official proofs (e.g. that the falls would not belong to the Shivasamudra municipality or so), but I guess that should be enough facts.

Talk:Salim Rubai Ali

message: New to wikipedia. please help proper citing format if not too busy. In "They Dare to Speak Out- People and Institutions Confront Israel's Lobby" by Paul Findley, Findley discusses American State Department Officials to have arranged a visit to Aden on June 26,1978 for exploratory talks and a noncommital way the resumption of diplomatic negotiations. Ali was to meet with them the day of the arrival. According to Findley, "Aden's Marxist hardliners decided to act. Concerned by Ali's probing for improved relations with the United States and Saudi Arabia, radicals seized fighter planes, strafed the presidential quarters, took control of the government, and on the day the U.S. Delegation was scheduled to arrive, arrested Ali. He was executed by a firing squad. Ambassador Ashtal called from New York to tell me the delegation would still be welcome, but the mission was scrubbbed. The group, after traveling as far as Sa'ana, capital of North Yemen, returned to Washington. Distressed over the execution of Ali, I asked Ashtal for an explanation. He told me, 'It's an internal matter of no concern to the outside world. '  " See Findley page 11, (Lawrence Hill Books, Copyright 1985,1989.

Talk:Traylor Howard

message: I put in :Image:N222301930 298821 2825.jpg , which is public-domain, as a replacement to :Image:NatalieTeeger.jpg which is a nonfreee copyrighted image.  Whenever a free image is available, a fairuse image is not permitted.  The  tag even says that it's to be used when there isn't a free alternative.  This article does not discuss the fairuse picture or the scene it's from, or the episode.  It merely mentions she's on the TV show.  So, it really doesn't illustrate anything.  It was just being used to show what the actress looks like, which can be done with a public domain image better.  I was going to nominate the fairuse image for deletion, but I see its being used in Natalie Teeger, which seems to have a stronger fairuse claim. --Rob 14:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

June 14 is consistently listed as the day, but starting in 1999, newspapers (via wire services) list her age at 28, giving a birth year of 1971.

The latter would make more sense, as her 1990 engagement announcement said she was a college graduate, with by the sourced year of 1971, that would make her 19.
