Talk:William Robertson (footballer, born 1874)

message: After adding the references for him playing in a Scottish trial, I dug more into this (on Ancestry, so OR to an extent hence why I haven't amended the article - although the newspaper sources did say he was from Renfrew). I had a good go at finding any links to Wales in censuses etc but found none. As soon as I tried a Scotland birthplace for 1901, there he appeared in Bristol with his family: birthplace Dumbarton, occupation footballer. From that I was able to confirm his date of birth in 1874, and locate his 1881 census (living in Dumbarton), 1891 census (living in Renfrew) and marriage (1897 in Renfrew) documents, links can be provided. Nowhere does it mention Wales, so I think that's a mix up somewhere - I imagine Bristol Rovers and possibly Brum had some Welsh folk coming across, but it's fairly conclusive that Robertson wasn't one of them. Unable to confirm death at present. So if anyone has a reference in a book etc that says he was born in Scotland, that should be considered correct over Wales and the article amended accordingly.

message: Terminology for father's brother vs. mother's brother (etc.) is pretty much universal. 
The exception is the medieval Franco-Norman culture of exogamy which abandoned such detailed terminology. It is completely random to give Albanian and Persian terms in particular. It would make more sense to trace the history by cultural sphere, i.e. Greco-Roman terminology, Near Eastern terminology, etc. --dab (𒁳) 09:48, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes (or I suppose it could mean one's spouse's aunt?).  However, I've never heard ther term aunt-in-law.  In the UK, one's uncle's wife is simply called an aunt, even if there's no genetic relation.

Talk:Workingman's Blues

message: The page references the official lyrics, but they depart significantly from the  recorded version found on the album "Modern Times". 
For instance, the verse after the first chorus are recorded as "Well I'm sailing on back ready for the long haul/ tossed by the winds and the leaves/ I'll drag them all down to hell and I'll stand them at the wall/ I'll sell them to their enemies". bobdylan.com has "I’m sailing on back getting ready for the long haul/ 
Leaving everything behind/
If I stay here I’ll lose it all/
The bandits will rob me blind/"

Talk:Sandwell Engineering

message: Sandwell Engineering has made a significant contribution to the city of Vancouver.  From an historical reference, Sandwell has played a major role in building Vancouver, a fact that is not often publicized but could be of great interest to Vancouver historians.  Sandwell's past can be found in the involvement of building the Lions Gate and Iron Workers' Memorial bridges, Neptune Terminals, Ballantyne Terminals, etc.    And today, Sandwell is the largest independently owned engineering firm in Western Canada.  
Further,  a number of other engineering firms with equal or less history are mentioned in Wikipedia: AMEC, Keen, WorleyParsons Limited.  Fair representation would suggest that other engineering firms should be able to be present on Wikipedia.
:Well then, you had best expand the article to document the information above.  I am going to remove the  tag but, until more support is provided to establish notability, this article is vulnerable to being nominated for deletion again.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I thought a rigger was a person that rigged signs. Some signs are assembled and then errected on their location. Because of this the frame is separate from the material, and the material is then unfolded and rigged to the sign. I guess 'rigger' could be a very colloquial or informal way of referring to such persons because such people are probably just handymen or casual labourers who happen to be called in for this specific purpose of sign erection. Just a thought...

Talk:FK Rīgas Futbola skola

message: Daugava Rīga was the strongest football team in Latvia for several decades while Latvia was part of the USSR. Around the time when Latvia regained independence the team ceased to exist, a new Daugava Rīga appeared again in 1996 when former Amstrig Rīga changed it name. In 1998 the team changed name to LU/Daugava, then dissolved after the 1998 season, to return in 2000 after having joined Policijas FK as PFK Daugava, but after the 2000 season the team ceased to exist. Therefore this FK Daugava Rīga theoretically is either the 3rd incarnation of the same team or a new team with much less importance than the previous two  --Kazhe (talk) 14:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Vodka infusion

message: Once you've stripped out the 'production' section (see WP:NOT#HOWTO) then this article is looking pretty stubby and should perhaps be just merged into Vodka? FlagSteward 16:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article seems to have veered away from what it was when I initially created it. It seems to be as much about flavoured vodka as vodka infusion now, though they aren't necessarily the same things. I don't think simply adding flavourings to vodka is infusion, the infusion is the process of the alcohol drawing the flavours out of the other ingredients itself. As such, it would probably be limited to only natural ingredients. It's a traditional hobby in some countries but I wouldn't have thought many commercial brands use this method (though a few certainly do). I don't suppose there is a strict definition of the term, but it's interesting to see what other people think. Perhaps I should have a go at cleaning up the article ? --WaterWolf 23:07, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I must have misunderstood. So taking lemon peel, putting it into vodka (without sugar) is vodka infusion but the commercially available stuff is "flavored vodka"? That's fine, and if that is the case I would support separate articles for each. Badagnani 00:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:2008 United States House of Representatives elections in Minnesota

message: The statement With the 2007 retirement of Martin Sabo, the opportunity presented itself for Keith Ellison to slide into Sabo's seat -- the "slide into" part seems like rather disparaging language.
And inaccurate, too.  It implies an easy transfer into the seat, but Ellison's election was a hard-fought battle, with a major endorsement fight, several candidates in a primary, and a 4-person race in the General.  Certainly the toughest fight for an open Congressional seat in Minnesota that year.  
This ought to be reworded.

Talk:Derek Watson (priest)

message: My name is also Derek Watson. I don't necessarily want to be on Wikipedia but the problem is that there is only one page that can be called Derek Watson. I object to the ex-Dean of Salisbury (referred to as DWDS) being the sole occupier of this space. Using a disambiguation page for every Derek Watson is clunky.
There are many people named Derek Watson.
DWDS is not noteworthy. He seems to have had a moderately successful career in the Church of England culminating in six years as a Dean. I myself have had a moderately successful career culminating in eight years as the CEO of my profession's representative body however I do not believe that I should have a Wikipedia page to the exclusion of all other Derek Watsons.
The presence of the Wikipedia page relating to DWDS may confuse people who are seeking information on other people named Derek Watson. It does not make it clear that this is only one of many Derek Watsons and not even the most important one.
His presence in Wikipedia seems to be the result of a project to catalogue all Anglican clergy of any minor note. Wikipedia is not a catalogue of personnel.
I therefore think this page should be removed and DWDS' achievements (and all the other Deans) added to the page relating to the diocese of Salisbury.
