thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Learn to Draw]] 

message: "On May 13, 1946, Jon Gnagy was the first "act" on the first television program broadcast from the new WNBT channel 4 antenna atop the Empire State Building." This needs to be better sourced. From what I can tell, WNBT's first scheduled broadcast on Channel 4 was on May 9th, 1946 at 8 PM. (NY Times: May 9, 1946 page 30) The first scheduled broadcast of Radio City Matinee (the show Gnagy appeared on) was on May 10th. (NY Times: May 10, 1946 page 37). L.

Talk:Jona von Ustinov

message: German resistance to Nazism: There are interviews with Peter Ustinov with Michael Parkinson on his talk show where he mentions Leo Geyr von Schweppenburg being involved in a 1938 attempt to prevent the outbreak of war. Ustinov's father was a Press Attache attached to the German Embassy in London earlier, having left in 1935 and given notice in a welsh newspaper of intention of becoming a British Subject, and become a British Subject. In 1938 he received a telephone call from von Schweppenburg (who was the German Military Attache at the time) in which he asked Ustinov's father to try and get the British Government to make a firm stand against Hitler at Munich, because von Schweppenburg said, it was the last chance they (i.e., the German General Staff), had of stopping Hitler. Ustinov's father was revealed in 1999 to have been working for British Intelligence at the time. A secret meeting was held between members of the German General Staff, each having gone to separate European airports and taken commercial flights to the United Kingdom, and British General Staff at Ustinov's home, on the fourth floor of 34 Redcliffe Gardens, London. They despised Hitler would have "defected". The British however, decided, (presumably regarding the proposals put forward by the Germans at the meeting) that 'they couldn't risk it as it might be a trap'. 
Peter Ustinov describes that night as coming home from drama school, and being told to immediately go out and spend money, nine pence, on a movie, two things his father disapproved of, he was given the money. Having acted slowly on his father's instructions, he was witness to a group of wheezing fat old men, trudging up the flights of stairs to his family's lodging on the top floor, pinned against the wall as they all passed by. Peter Ustinov, five years, asked Jona von Ustinov about that night.

Template talk:Leo Tolstoy

message: This template is good. The distinction between short story, novel and novella is confusing. We could base it on Wikipedia's definition of these terms, but it would be original research. Instead I suggest making "Novel" its own list, and combine novella and short story into a single list. It remains somewhat ambiguous, but the distinction between novel and novella is a lot more clear than between novella and short story, as it is currently. -- 71.191.43.139 04:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Vitter

message: There is currently a content dispute over the information on this disambiguation page about Senator Vitter. Vitter was currently identified as being a client of the DC Madam and this is elaborated on in that article. Disambiguation pages are suppose to be used to identify the subject of articles. Stating that he is a U.S. Senator from Louisiana satisfies that and so other commentary on this article is unnecessary. Thank you.--Jersey Devil 04:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: From Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages): "Keep in mind that the primary purpose of the disambiguation page is to help people find the information they want quickly and easily." Including the connection about the DC Madam (which is cut and pasted directly from the lede of the David Vitter article) certainly satisfies that goal. Ewlyahoocom 04:54, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article has recently been protected with the edit summary stating that it was a BLP dispute. I don't think it is BLP dispute. I mean, it has pretty much been established that he was a client of the DC Madam. The problem I think was that, the content didn't belong on the disambiguation page. Just wanted to clarify my sentiments. Perhaps the protection will give us an opportunity to discuss this however.--Jersey Devil 04:55, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I stated, the information about him being a Senator from Louisiana satisfies the MOS guideline of identification. We wouldn't use the text next to Sen. Ted Kennedy on Ted Kennedy (disambiguation) to state "U.S. Senator from Massachusetts who was involved in the Chappaquiddick incident" because the last part would be inappropriate and would sound like someone attempting to make a political point.--Jersey Devil 04:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Football in Brazil

message: Shouldn't there be two navigational boxes, one for Men's football in Brazil and one for Women's football in Brazil? My reasoning for this is that in many articles the Football in Brazil template is added in collapsed state, and within it there are two collapsed sections, which makes it unpractical. The user must uncollapse two times to access any page linked within it. Separate templates are fairly common in navigational boxes for other countries's football with enough articles to justify them (which is also the case in Women's football in Brazil): 
* :Template:Football in Germany, :Template:Women's football in Germany; 
* :Template:Football in Scotland, :Template:Women's Football in Scotland;
* :Template:Football in Scotland, :Template:Women's football in Scotland;

Template talk:USL League Two seasons

message: With the youth of the league at this point, there is no sense in it being broken down by decade, and it is definitely unnecessary to include the span with hidden years in it (if anything, those should be centered). I think in another decade or so (should the PDL last to that point), it would be ok to go ahead and break it down by decade, but at this point it would be better just to have them centered up.

thread_title:  U.S. Committee for European Refugees 

message: I am unsure why you moved the article back to the "Organisation" spelling. The official version of the treaty text of the constitution of the org consistently spells it "Organization": . The "Organization" spelling is also consistent with general UN practice, which is to use Oxford spelling in English-language names and documents. What sources were you referring to when you wrote that the s-spelling is "used in official sources"? (I know of one official document where the s-spelling is used: . This is the treaty in the UK's treaty series. A few years ago I moved the article to the s-spelling with the understanding that the UK version was a faithful reproduction of the official English-language treaty text. It turns out it was not, and the UK changed the spelling to reflect UK government usage.)
Not only the official name considerations, but: (1) All of the sources currently linked to on the article use the z-spelling; and (2) In google books, I get about 53,000 hits for "International Refugee Organization", and about 8,000 for "International Refugee Organisation". Google scholar searches yields a similar preference for the z-spelling. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:51, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Template talk:TwoLeg start

message: I propose that the columns titled 1st leg and 2nd leg be changed to Home leg and Away leg. Usually, in the Champions League and UEFA Cup (and probably other comps too, but that's outside my field of knowledge) the team drawn first plays at home first and away second. However, in this season's Champions League and UEFA Cup competitions, the order of the matches has been reversed a few times. Therefore, to preserve the order of the draw in the TwoLeg tables, this column change would make things a whole lot easier. – PeeJay 10:31, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I have heard fleeting mentions of such squads in documentaries and books but these are mostly the "friend of a friend who knew someone in the commandoes who had a friend in MI5" sorts of stories.  Personally, I have been searching for an authorative account of post-WWII operations that brought 'justice' to ex-SS and ex-Nazis but all you are able to find is heresay.  Then again, it'll probably be still quite a few years before anyone (British, US or French) who openly admit that 'yes, we had deathsquads get vengence on Germans who either escaped the net or were set free by West Germany after 1952.'
