thread_title:  Why no county map? 

message: The sentence "They always divided 50-50 (or perhaps, $5,000-$5,000) and had no visible impact on the vote." does not make sense. One problem is the $5,000-$5,000 comment. What does that mean? The prior sentence mentions selling votes for $2. Is this a multiplication joke in a Wikipedia article where somehow someone multiplied 2 * 50 = 5000? I don't get it. Also what does 50-50 refer to? Did half of them sell their votes to one party and half to the other? The sentence uses the word "divided" but doesn't say what was divided. Also the explanation of what a floater is should come before the Dudley quote about them. This section also mentions a "circular letter." A circular letter would be a letter in the shape of a circle. A circular (when used as a noun instead of an adjective) is a letter meant for circulation. There are other grammatical errors as well such as the comma between "decades" and "with" in the third sentence. I think this whole section should be rewritten. 31.168.14.82 (talk) 03:20, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The article also contradicts itself by first saying under Blocks of Five that "floaters" had no visible impact on the outcome, but then goes on to say under Electoral results that Harrison won "by means of notoriously fraudulent balloting in New York and Indiana", which appears to be a reference to the same blocks of five. So did these floaters influence the outcome or not? Jah77 (talk) 11:48, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:1900 United States presidential election

message: I have been through the article, and don't find any major problem with it. I have edited to further reduce any possibly perceived POV, but have no real criticism in this respect. There are some stylistic edits, but again there is no real criticism here either. This is just the stuff of normal collaborative editing. The article reads well and has some interesting material (I am completely new to the subject). 
I would be grateful if any significant changes to the currently existing material could be discussed on this page first, especially if deletions are envisaged, as a courtesy to the work which has been done to date. Of course additional material is welcome to expand the article, and there is a referencing system in place to cite sources properly.
It needs to be explained who Aguinaldo is (+ wikilink?) - I hope I have got it right.
I have removed the following, to be on the safe side. If there is a reference it can go back in. If no one objects to it within five days on this talk page, then it can go back in: 
:wanting him to leave the state
I have made a change from "demanded" to "pressured" as a less specific word in:
:New York state party leaders pressured McKinley to pick a reluctant Theodore Roosevelt
However, if "demanded" is important, then it should be made clear how they did this exactly.

Talk:1908 United States presidential election

message: SoWhy changed the sentence in the introduction:
:: Popular incumbent President Theodore Roosevelt, honoring a promise not to seek a third term, anointed William Howard Taft as his successor.
to: 
:: Popular incumbent President Theodore Roosevelt, honoring a promise not to seek a third term, apointed William Howard Taft as his successor.
Aside from misspelling “appointed”, I thought that this was a bad change:  you appoint somebody to a job when you somehow have the right of hiring and firing; moreover, it suggests that the job is inferior, less powerful than your own.  “Anoint”, on the other hand, is so often-used, it's a cliché, and for good reason:  it captures precisely the notion that, although Roosevelt didn't have the legal right of choosing his successor, he did link Taft as the person to carry the Roosevelt legacy, that Taft was his inheritor.  In the Bible, the priests would anoint a king to show that the king was the chosen of God; in a similar fashion, Roosevelt was showing that Taft was his chosen.  (And, yes, that means that Roosevelt was taking on the role of both the priests and of God; this is actually quite consistent with Roosevelt's personality. <g>)
SoWhy has also tried the replacement “recommended”, which is too weak.  Your waiter might recommend a dish, but he doesn't expect you to order it; he isn't invested in your choice.  Roosevelt had his prestige on the line in the election of 1908:  if Taft had been rejected, it would have been an implicit rejection of Roosevelt.

Talk:VG (nerve agent)

message: The sentence:
:It is quite possible that one of these second generation V series agents has been deployed against hostile forces.
says nothing.  It's also quite possible that they've never been deployed; it's also quite possible they've been deployed against friendly forces.  Absent any information or evidence about actual use, the reader has nothing to judge, and the statement adds nothing to the content of the article.
Also, the commentary about V-weapon developments in the USSR are misleading.  The V-series (VE,VG,..VX) are western.
*The above comments (by other people) refer to a section which I have just removed.  The information on Soviet chemical weapons development seemed largely  irrelevent to this article, apart from being speculative, confusing and unsourced. Jll 15:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Soviet Union produced (and weaponized) tens of thousands of metric tons of the agent VR (R-33, "Russian VX") during the Cold War. So, "the V-series (VE,VG,..VX) are not quite exclusively western". Any conception, that a major discovery in the field of substance-classes toxicology could be kept "secret" by just not revealing the research to another party is nonsense. What one chemist/toxicologist discovers, can be "rediscovered" by any other peer somewhere else in close time, as the history of science shows.--84.163.115.170 (talk) 03:13, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The version of the Book of Invasions in Cross & Slover's Ancient Irish Tales says "in the joining of the battle their king, Nuada, had his arm hewn off from his shoulder". Another version in Koch & Carey's The Celtic Heroic Age lacks that phrase, but says that Dian Cecht and Creidhne fitted him with a silver arm "with the full vigour of an arm in every finger and every joint". An online edition translates the same phrase as "a silver arm with activity in every finger and every joint". In Old Irish lám could mean either arm or hand, but in this case it seems to mean arm - if it meant hand, surely they would have stopped at finger. --Nicknack009 19:10, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'm speculating because I found a reference to a photograph of Wernstedt "from the Dottie (Adele) Wernstedt Graham and Doris Burn Collection" on this page, which mentions that Lake Doris was named after Lage's daughter. Lage's experience with mapping and engineering seem to fit Mrs. Burn's unique cababilities as an illustrator—and the locale seems right. I've traced Lage's widow to Guemes Island, where Cascades climbing historian Harry Majors interviewed her extensively. I'd like to find a more overt connection before I put it in the article.
