replies: text: I don't think we should "make up a name" just because the current title is not in English. Per WP:UE and WP:UCN, we should use the most common English name if such exists, but I have yet to find such a name, and thus at the time, För tapperhet i fält is the most common name, and the current redirect from För tapperhet till sjöss makes any attempt to cover both names in the article title superfluous. – Elisson • T • C • 16:19, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

message: ...what was a Swedish gendarme doing serving in Persia in 1915? Enquiring minds want to know, and can't seem to find an answer anywhere in WP. Shimgray | talk | 22:29, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably something to write an article about some day. During The Great Game, Russian and British agents undermined the Persian rule, to a degree where most government agencies no longer functioned, including the military and police. In 1910, the British demanded that within three months, the Persian governemnt had to restore security. It was agreed that a European state, accepted by both the UK and Russia should help with officers to create a modern gendarmerie. Italy was asked but said no. Instead, in 1911, Sweden accepted to send officers (strangely enough, Sweden did not, and has never had any gendarmerie of its own...). A total of 38 Swedish soldiers travelled to Persia, some of them along with wives, for a total of around 60 Swedes. They started to build and train an impressive force, by 1914 over 6 000 men (Persians, not Swedes :)), that regained control of the most important routes. When the First World War broke out, it was decided to recall the officers, but they did not return home until 1915. Some even decided to enlist to German units in Persia, and a few officers and policemen stayed there until 1924, when all foreigners were expelled from Persian government agencies. It can be claimed that these Swedish gendarmes are the founders of the modern Iranian police force. A very interresting and unknown story with a lot more interresting facts besides what I've told here. All info from Svenskar i krig 1914–1945 ("Swedes at war[...]") by Lars Gyllenhaal and Lennart Westberg. Recommended reading for everyone that can read Swedish. – Elisson • T • C • 23:45, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Swanbourne railway station, Perth

message: If anybody cares enough to make the case, it could be argued that "Swanbourne railway station, Perth" should take over as primary article since Swanbourne railway station in England, which has been disused as a station for about 50 years, was demolished in (Northern hemisphere) summer 2020.

Talk:Thermopolis, Wyoming

message: I reverted this post because it focuses too much on someone from Thermopolis rather than Thermopolis itself.  This here, 
"He served in WWI in the US Army Artillary branch, and rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel. He spend WWII in England was was awarded a Bronze Star, and promotion to full Colonel.
In the 1950s McCoy hosted his own television program on KTLA in Los Angeles and was awarded a local Emmy for his work. A regular visitor on the progrm was the Cryin' Indian Iron Eyes Cody."''
has absolutely NOTHING to do with Thermopolis itself.  The article is not about the history of people from Thermopolis, or random info about people in Thermopolis, it's about the city of Thermopolis. 
So either the information recently added needs to be removed or edited a lot more so it doesn't include random information about a TV station in LA... Phaldo 15:22, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The article says "The Communist Party, who often supported the strikes, were expelled from the legislature in early December." Is this correct? The PCF were dismissed from the Ramadier government in May 1947, but that cannot be what this sentence refers to, since it (1) happened in May, (2) doesn't imply exclusion from participation in the legislature.

Talk:Oral contraceptive pill

message: There has been some recent low-level edit warring over whether this page is an article in its own right or a disambiguation page.  To provide some history on this page, it used to be the home of the combined oral contraceptive pill article.  After discussion in December 2006 (here is the start of that discussion), that page was moved to its current location.  This page was created with the intention that it be a disambiguation page (diff): all of the linked article are full articles; the higher-level article is hormonal contraception, not this one.
As one who was involved in that move, I have a bias to keeping this as a disambiguation page.  I am open to hearing arguments for changing its status, though. LyrlTalk     C   14:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Making this a disambig has led to a ton of pages that point here that now need to be fixed to point to the correct article. Do you think you could rustle up some people involved with this move to clean up these links per WP:DABLINK#Links to disambiguated topics? Not a requirement, but it would be much appreciated.

Talk:How I Live Now

message: I've just added a bit to the article about the BBC adaption that's currently airing on Radio 4. Unfortunately, most of the references being part of the BBC's website, they may well disappear in the future. I got the cast list from the Woman's Hour Drama page but How I Live Now will drop off the bottom of that in just over a week. (Cast list also here but that'll probably go just as quickly.) The press release I've put in as a citation might last 'til January.
The Radio 4 daily schedule seems more stable - you can currently get back as far as 13 September 2005 - although there is the possibility that they remove entires after two years, two months and two days. Also this schedule hardly includes any information, except to prove that it does actually exist. But even if they have better longevity, it'd look a bit silly with all five days' schedules cited right in the article, so I'm sticking them here.

In fact, if you read the article, the novel is only mentioned once, in a parenthetical note in the seventh paragraph, and nothing negative is ever said specifically about this book -- the article seems to be more a criticism of how books are assigned and taught to children than of the books themselves. 70.18.28.88 (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Asexuality

message: Asexuality should be defined according to wider sources as no sexual attraction, limited sexual attraction or conditional sexual attraction, as said by Julie Sondra Decker, who goes over demisexuality and gray-asexuality, saying that primary sexual attraction might be lacking in those individuals, but they are still part of the ace community. And the AVEN website says those are limited or conditional, so it should be included in the definition.
No sexual attraction and no desire for sex is Black Stripe Aces. Which was the section of the ace community who defined themselves as such, but not the whole tof the ace community, so I'd like to have a more expansive definition for asexuality at the top, which does include aven's own definition on asexuality. (If you go digging.) This is for accuracy sake.
Also, gotta say, I still hate Anthony Bogaert as an ace. He keeps boasting about how everyone in the ace community agrees with him, when they don't.--KimYunmi (talk) 18:33, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Great Western Cattle Trail

message: 2020)
The Great Western Cattle Trail was used during the late 19th century for movement of cattle and horses to markets in eastern and northern states. It is also known as the Western Trail, Fort Griffin Trail, Dodge City Trail, Northern Trail and Texas Trail. It replaced the Chisholm trail when that closed. While it wasn't as well known, it was greater in length, reaching railheads up in Kansas and Nebraska and carried longhorns and horses to stock open-range ranches in the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, and two provinces in Canada. It took almost one hundred days to reach their destination. 2600:6C5A:27F:2FA9:903C:E116:7AC8:1D34 (talk) 20:13, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
