message: Per Wiktionary, the term is used in Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Never heard of it being used in the U.S. The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary(1993) says its origin is England 19th century, possibly diminuitive of "pound." It does not appear at all in the The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language(1973).

message: I tried moving this article to an article heading with the 'special characters' but it didn't work very well at all.  The history of this article is now on the redirect [[Staré MÄ>sto]].  I'll think twice before doing that again. --Randolph 04:08, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Sandius has moved "Staré Město (Prague)" and "Nové Město (Prague)" to "Old Town, Prague" and "New Town, Prague," respectively. I think there should be some communal agreement on what the proper format for Prague cadastral areas should be. We need to decide:
# Should we use the native name (Staré Město) or the exonym (Old Town)? When living in Prague, I usually used the native name, but tour books often use English translations.
# Should we change "Malá Strana" to "Little Quarter" and "Josefov" to "Little Quarter?"
# Should "Prague" follow a comma (as Sandius has done) or be in parentheses (as it was before)?

This article had virtually no information at all. It contained only the first sentence that you see in this current form.  I have contributed the best I can from memory. If I have time I will go through and revise, adding articles for other neglected characters.  
This is still a rough form, and I welcome any and all suggestions and edits.  Hopefully this is a first step towards the existence of a decent article. I’m glad to say that something at least exists now.
Hey, I was actually writing this today and then had to go! Thanks for taking care of it, I'll update it to conform to the other Chrono character wikis. :) Hansamurai 04:37, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I have reverted the move from Fall of Berlin to Fall of Berlin (disambiguation) under the provisions of  WP:RM#Undiscussed moves. See the text there: "
:Actually, I reverted your bold change and you have redone it, exactly the sort of thing hat is discouraged.  I only created the dab page so that only one hat note had to go on the Battle of Berlin page instead of two, which seemed to be your major concern here. SpinningSpark 21:46, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You did not revert my change to the page, you moved a page. If you had simply reverted my change, then I would have opened up a discussion on the talk page and discussed it. I reverted the move, per the directions at WP:RM, and then started a discussion on the talk page. -- PBS (talk) 00:28, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

text: Here's where I'm coming from; anyone putting fall of Berlin into the search box is almost certainly looking for the article about the WW2 battle, and not an obscure Soviet era propaganda film.  Battle of Berlin is the overwhelmingly primary meaning, so that is where they should be taken.  There is nothing wrong with disambiguation by hatnote, that is a perfectly normal way of dealing with it in these circumstances.  SpinningSpark 21:46, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It is unnecessary clutter at the start of the article, for what is a small minority of links (before I ran AWB there was less than a score). There are well over 1,000 links for Battle of Berlin. There are about 30 links for "battle for Berlin", but as yet there no need for a hat for "Battle for Berlin" because there is no other alternatives to the main article. If we were to follow your logic, we could end up with dozens of hat links in many articles where there are alternative names with more than one meaning. If "fall of Berlin" was a common name for the battle then there would be some justification for the hatnote (as there is for example with Boer War), but when the number of links is less than 2%, I see no purpose in cluttering up the lead of an article, when a dab page can serve the same purpose. -- PBS (talk) 00:23, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: In my opinion, 20-odd incoming links (as there were before you removed them) is evidence that it is a likely search term for this subject.  Would you be agreeable to settling this with a third opinion? SpinningSpark 13:26, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It is unlikely to be a problem now that it is a dab page and besides there are over 100 links to The Fall of Berlin (film) and the other has four so the evidence is that as far as internal links are concerned even before my AWB changes the film was the more likely search. If one searches externally using Google then the first page returned is the "Battle of Berlin". -- PBS (talk) 19:05, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

For the "Polyp" type "Hyperplastic polyp",
the column for "Risk of malignancy" contains the following text :
"if polyps are more than 100".

Is this a reference to a number of polyps, their size, their location, or perhaps something else?

Talk:The Entertainment Capital of the World

message: I find that in my searching of historical records that this name was first coined in Los Angeles, not Las Vegas. New York City was the second city to use it. Las Vegas has in effect stolen this nickname in it's efforts to become the most visited city in the west and has done an awesome job in promoting it. 
Statistically, of all the cities that make claim to the title, minus Hollywood of course since it is one and the same as Los Angeles, Los Angeles has by far the most entertainment available. Second to LA is New York City, then Las Vegas at third, then Orlando, then Branson.
This is based on the total amount of: Theme Parks (Disney, Six Flags, Coney Island), Shopping/Malls (South Coast Plaza, Fashion Show Mall, Fifth Avenue), Sightseeing Tourist Attractions (Hollywood Walk of Fame, Times Square), Sports games (MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL, MLS), hobbies available (skiing, hiking, surfing), shows & concerts (Broadway, Pantages, or Hollywood Bowl), and world recognition (Alpha, Beta class city).
So based on factual evidence, Los Angeles, the first city with the nickname, should rightfully be given precedence to the title, regardless of Las Vegas' promotional abilities. 
Outside of gambling, Vegas shows, and the occasional Boxing matches, (all three of which are available in LA) Las Vegas has really little to offer entertainmentwise. There are 2 giant arcades, Gameworks (which is also found in Los Angeles... twice), and Circus Circus. There is one water park of decent size, comparable to Hurricane Harbor in LA, but nowhere near LA's Raging Waters. There are also a few select roller coasters in various places around town. Yet, LA's Knotts Berry Farm has more coasters than all of Vegas, and it only ranks #3 in LA for coasters behind #2 Disneyland Resort and #1 Six Flags Magic Mountain.
If you search Google and Yahoo!, you have almost as many results for Branson, MO as Las Vegas. Using the logic that this page was written with, Branson should be mentioned second to Las Vegas in terms of application. Yet, that would be considered silly to the editors. The same goes with giving Las Vegas the automatic bid based on a Google search. Encyclopedias need to be written based on facts, not POV of editors, or the POV of a city's advertisement campaign. Both Los Angeles and New York have considerably more entertainment available than Vegas by leaps and bounds. While Vegas should be mentioned in the article, it should not be the focus of the article over LA or NYC.
