I do not know which sources are authoritative. The articles are wiki linked on the men's names, as is the article on Washburn and Moen in Worcester, Massachusetts, the wire manufacturer from whom Glidden and Ellwood bought their wire, and which firm bought out Glidden's half of Barb Fence Company, paying him royalties until 1892 when Glidden's patent expired. Did the Supreme Court decision come in 1892 as reported in this article, or in 1895, as reported in the Haish article?

Uhh, like minus two years? The Bell X-2 was flying in 1956 and explored the same speed range and problems.
The text states that one aircraft got the Avon, one the Gyron, and one the AJ.65. The AJ.65 is the Avon.
And how is it that the selection of the de Haviland engine gave them a boost for the selection of a Bristol engine on the Concorde?

Talk:Restitution

message: I'm thinking about doing a fairly drastic overhaul of this page, which I think is severely lacking in structure.
The first thing I would like to do is make clearer the distinction between "restitution for wrongs" and "unjust enrichment by subtraction".
Secondly, I would like to discuss the five principal issues that need to be considered in an action based on unjust enrichment.  These are (1) Was the defendant enriched? (2) Was the enrichment at the claimant's expense? (3) Was the enrichment unjust? (4)Does the defendant have a defence? (5) What kinds of remedy are open to the claimant?
Does anyone have any objection to me doing this?
I should point out that I am an English lawyer and I am not familiar with the American law of restitution.  However, I do believe that the above 5-stage analysis is at least compatible with Australian law and Canadian law.  If what I am proposing would be misleading in America please let me know!

message: In Russia the term "restitution" has another meaninig. It means that in case a transaction is declared by a court to be null and void, the parties are obliged to return to each other everything received under such a transaction. 
It is possible that in other civil law countries "restitution" also has the same meaning. Should not all this be mentioned in the article?

thread_title:  Resitution in Civil Law countries

message: Speaking from an American law perspective, it makes no sense to have separate articles for the law of "unjust enrichment" and the law of "restitution."  Both refer to the same body of jurisprudence, at least in the United States, as evidenced by the title of the American Law Institute's "Restatement of the Law (Third):  Restitution and Unjust Enrichment."  Thus, insofar as American law is concerned, discussion of the two should be merged in a single article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.130.14.76 (talk) 17:04, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Just because the word Goth sounds like the surname Goff does not mean that people use them interchangeably.

message: This seems to be an article about Men of Dartmouth masquerading as an article about the Alma Mater.

--Jonny.Triumph 21:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the current lyrics having been composed in the 1980s are likely under copyright and therefore unreproducible (Hovey's being pre-1923 puts them in the public domain). I agree that we should at least link to them and definitely discuss them, but we can't include them as text. Dylan (talk) 20:52, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Dartmouth encourages reproduction of the 1980s lyrics at every graduation ceremony and permitted their reproduction in the Kreiger article cited in this Wikipedia article.  The 1980s changes themselves are not copyrightable, and modifying a public-domain song probably would not put the whole song under ownership of Dartmouth at the time. If the current song is not in the public domain, then the reproduction of some verses in this context should qualify as a fair use.

I suggest removing Yeomans. The article could grow to overwhelm a reader with every person in the self-help arena (Dyer, Chopra, and every country with a guru.)
