Talk:Garda Síochána Reserve

message: The article does not actually explain what the Reserve is.  Is it like the Reserve of the RIC or the CRS in France, policemen kept back in Dublin to be deployed when there is major disorder?

Talk:International Telegram

message: While not a giant company, this is the successor to the former Telegram service branch of Western Union, and as such is granted a degree of notability. In an ideal world maybe we could put this into a subsection of the Western Union article itself, but these are going to stay two seperate entities unless Telegrams have a resurgance STOP. -Steve Gray
Could not verify any association with Western Union. Itelegram is a private canadian company with a po box address on their website. Western Union is a trademark owned by First Data. I think the article should include links to other private providers which appeared before or after Western Union ceased  telegram service.

Talk:Genkurō

message: Images of kabuki and bunraku on wikipedia are sorely lacking, as are many articles relating to such subjects; I am working, gradually, to rectify that situation as regards the articles. But as it pertains to images, anything anyone can provide would be most helpful. Theatres do not allow photography, I would imagine, and even if they do, it's likely very difficult to get a good shot during performance; images of works of art are highly guarded by the museums and other owners of the art; images from books, often taken by professional photographers, and designed specifically to perfectly illustrate topics or subjects, which would make them *perfect* for Wikipedia, are of course tightly controlled by the copyright holders - publishers, photogrphers, authors, as well.
Again, any help anyone can offer in providing pictures of actors, sets, puppets, ukiyo-e prints, would be wonderful. Thank you. LordAmeth 16:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:All the Names

message: this is a lie dont try by Ashlin priorsmith Daniel but be nice == More themes?==
A few more themes one could discern:
 The artificiality of civilisation. Senhor José learns from an articulate shepherd how country people with their more ancient ways resist and overturn urban values.
 The loneliness of the individual. Senhor José has no living family, no friends and at the Registry staff are not allowed to chat. He is existentially alone.
 The impossibility of knowing other humans. Senhor José realises will never find the truth about the celebrities whose cuttings he collects or the unknown woman who fascinates him.
 Innate human guilt. Senhor José, endemically afraid of exposure, conceals and lies about his private activities.
 The absence of God. Senhor José’s reflections and prayers rise no further than his ceiling, which is not interested in his fate.

Talk:Photo album

message: Hi!  First-time commenter, so apologies if I'm violating any conventions.  I did a quick read of the Talk guidelines before posting this.  Came to this page to find out what "memo pockets" are in Amazon descriptions of photo albums, so an explanation of this might be helpful to readers.  Also, I was looking for the technical term for those type of photo album pages where the entire page is sticky and you can put any size photo onto the sticky page and cover it with the attached plastic so that I could put that in my search terms.  I suppose what I would suggest is an entire section devoted to the various names of the parts of a physical photo album would make this an even stronger section.  Thanks.
After more searching for photo albums, I came across a number of confusing terms.  What is a "magnetic" page versus a "self-adhesive" page and is there a difference if it is or is not "repositionable."  These would be further photo album terms that I think would be great if this article defined.  Thanks!

Talk:Honey locust

message: Is the following claim an error?  "The strongly scented cream-colored flowers appear in late spring, in clusters emerging from the base of the leaf axils."  I grew up on a lot with a honey locust and do not recall it having flowers.  The sentence above sounds like it describes a black locust to me.  Black locust trees do have showy, wonderful-smelling flowers.  Looking elsewhere on the internet, some sites seemed to support my belief that these trees have inconspicous flowers ( http://ohiodnr.com/forestry/trees/locust_hny/tabid/5381/Default.aspx , www.extension.iastate.edu/forestry/iowa_trees/trees/honeylocust.html ) but others didn't ( http://www.tytyga.com/Thornless-Honeylocust-p/thornless-honeylocust-tree.htm ).

message: Actually, it is an amazingly productive honey plant when the weather cooperates and the bees can forage on it.   Locust blossom honey is water white and about as flavorless as is 'honey' made from feeding the bees sugar.  During periods of sunny weather the bees will pull in prodigious amounts of nectar thanks to the millions of blossoms each tree offers.  But, since the tree blooms during the cool rainy season bumper crops of Locust Blossom honey are a hit or miss proposition with more misses than hits.
