Talk:Blackpool

message: I noted the wholesale revert by @DragonofBatley.
Per feedback from more experienced editors with more of a stakeholder interest in this article - kindly consider more conservative reversion - let's not just leave it in the current state - proposals are:
# Retain image and table resizing.
# Retain 2021 census data consistently in the entire article.
# Keep the focus on Blackpool - it is an article about the town - why all the regional chatter?
# Retain all edits not made by this editor - ?
# Be very aware of overt CLOP
# Be aware of wandering diatribes that take up a lot of the article - party conventions, weather temps, why Dublin means a black pool etc. Why is 'shipwrecks' in that location?
# Be cautious of content that violate cp policies
# Consider there is a global audience of ~70 million
# Consider - encyclopedic tone
# Consider balance - is the diatribe on Polish Airmen worth so much text?
# Do many care about Littlewoods and the my snippets of ns adds - it is full of these little adds - added over many years.
You deleted out contributions from many other editors - who also acted in good faith - some excellent edits in my very humble opinion.
@DragonofBatley - with tremendous respect and civility - my edits were certainly strident and bold - but for each deletion I did state them as so and provided a verbose reason - I think your wholesale reversions impacting the work of dozens of other editors - might be a far greater sin.
I'll go back to my medical articles - they are less contentious.

replies: text: I am disinterested in Blackpool but fundamentally I consider DoB's reversion to have been excessive and disproportionate and have undone it. As I wrote in my edit note "See WP:Reverting: deal with the specific concerns individually. Use the talk page. A mass reversion like that is reserved for deliberately disruptive edits. " The (probably inadvertent) deletion of Lancashire from the lead is a poppy-seed that doesn't need a steam-roller to crack.

thread_title: Webster reference

message: In searching on Amazon for more sources that mention Raff, I came across Hearst Over Hollywood by Louis Pizzitola, in which Colonel Raff is among those the author thanks in the acknowledgements. On page 37, Pizzitola identifies L. Edson Raff as a movie cameraman taking a shot from the rear of William Randoph Hearst's train speeding back (Washington to New York) from the William McKinley inauguration in 1901. The young Mr. Raff is identified as "the stepson of Norman Raff of Raff and Gammon, film manufacturers for Thomas Edison." I'm decided unsure of the relationship between the two, but since this is the only mention of a Raff in the book and Pizzitola thanks COL Raff, I am going to guess that there's a good chance this was his father or uncle. --Habap (talk) 15:24, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Universal rule

message: The Universal Rule (Universal Rule for Yachts) determined a yacht's eligibility to race in the America's Cup from 1914 to 1937 and for this the J-class was chosen. Boats built according to the rule reached their peak in the large J-class yachts.
This Rating Rule is intended to calculate a rating for yachts, which can then be used to calculate its Time Correction Factor (T.C.F.) in order to have disparate yachts racing against each other.
 
Before 1914, the Seawanhaka Rule was used for America's Cup racing, and after 1937 smaller boats were desirable, and so the International Rule gained popularity in the 12-Metre Class and smaller to the detriment of the M-class and smaller and became the standard.

thread_title:  Verification 

message: How do these two statements in the article reconcile? (emphasis added)
*Part of Hawaiian culture, ohana means family in an extended sense of the term, including blood-related, adoptive or intentional. 
*In current Hawaiian culture the term ohana is strictly used for blood relations.  Non-familial groupings always instead use the word "hui".
The problem may come from the apparent strong disagreements in modern Hawaiian culture over the meanings and values of the word. See the Whitney article mentioned under References. An excerpt:
*In old Ka'u, 'ohana meant blood relations, only. But outside of that Big Island district, it came later to mean something else entirely. Silva remembers her own childhood in rural Windward O'ahu. "Anyone who lived close by was almost automatically Incorporated into family. Neighbors were auntie or uncle or cousin, even when there was no blood relation. It seemed like the mere fact of proximity was enough to create family."

message: There are some mistakes in the article. For instance, there are two traditional origins of Shui Xien, corresponding to two different oolong teas:
* One Yancha in Wu Yi Shan (Fujian) 
* One Feng Huang Dan Cong in Feng Huang Chan (GuangZhou)
These different teas corresponds to very different cultivar, different type of farming (dancongs traditionally come from very old arborescent unique plant per tea batch when yancha comes from regular tea plantation) and different fabrication philosophies (in particular in term of roasting).
Lao Cong Shui Xien generally reports to dancong, not yancha. Lao Cong only means old tree. 
Lao Cong dancong generally have more than one human life.
This will be corrected ASAP

Talk:List of Budapest Metro stations

message: The difference is whether we count interchanges as one or each line separately. I support the latter as these interchanges are just stations which are connected through tunnels and escalators. They don’t form one architectural unit in any sense: the different lines’ stations are structurally independent, have different architectural styles, were built usually with decades difference etc. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 17:14, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I see thanks for clarification. Are you sure it makes sense to count Deák Ferenc tér as *3* separate stations? It's really one interconnected structure, but to be honest it's been 11 years since I've been there so I could be mistaken. Most other metro systems count stations with more than one platform as still being 1 station. I support the former, where 1 stations = 1 station. Mattximus (talk) 19:48, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, nothing apart from 48 and 52 makes any sense. In all three interchanges the platforms are connected more or less (you can change between metro lines without using a new ticket, so there should be a way without leaving the station), but architecturally they have almost nothing in common. This is especially true for the two M4 interchanges (Keleti pályaudvar opened in 1970, Kálvin tér in 1976, while the M4 parts only four years ago), but Deák tér’s architecture also changed a lot during the nearly quarter century it was being built (the current station of M1 was constructed in 1952, according to our article, and M3’s one opened in 1976). However, I can accept your argument too, so it’s OK for me to leave it as it currently is. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:39, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
