Talk:Kit-Cat Klock

message: This article could use a GIF animation of a Kit-Cat Klock to help illustrate the concept.  A number of GIFs can be found on the Web, but to use any one of them would require permission from the site owner.  In the alternative, an enterprising Wikipedian who owns such a clock or has access to one could record a short video of one in action that could be reworked into an animated GIF. — QuicksilverT @ 16:00, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

What "sequence"? The ref. at the end of that paragraph is dead—could the text have referred to it? AndyFielding (talk) 14:43, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @AndyFielding If you go back to this version, you'll see "this sequence" was meant to refer to "the opening scene of the 1985 movie Back to the Future". The reference to the movie was removed in this edit without removing the phrase "in this sequence". I've fixed it, along with adding a couple of other clocks from the article cited in this paragraph.

Talk:Brickyard Cove, Richmond, California

message: My friend worked at Precision Remotes, a Graham Hawkes company. His TRAP platform, a remote control system for a rifle, appears in the movie Shooter (2007 film), as does PRI's URL. Across the parking lot was Graham's sister company, DeepFlight, maker of small one- and two-man submarines that "fly" like aircraft underwater and appear in movies. The subs were frequently tested in the waters of the cove. My friend was tasked to contribute to the cockpit. I know that PRI was sold and moved to Vallejo. DeepFlight may still be a tenant in the yacht area. -- SpareSimian (talk) 10:14, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Coyote, California

message: http://www.highdesertdrifter.com/coyote.shtml says the town's original name was "Burnett" rather than "Bernette"...?  Paulburnett (talk) 16:12, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Most likely "Burnett".  There's a Burnett Avenue and a Burnett School (currently mothballed) at the northern edge of Morgan Hill, just 6 miles south of Coyote, no doubt named after an early local farming family.—QuicksilverT @ 06:18, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bernette 

message: Geography, geology and climate in Coyote and the surrounding area is very similar to that of Morgan Hill, California, some 7 miles down the valley.  I fudged a bit by copying some material verbatim from the latter's article.  However, the annual rainfall and average temperatures may need to be tweaked a bit, if data can be found or interpolated; there is no airport in Coyote and no official NOAA weather observation station.  The prevailing wind in the area is from the northwest, i.e., coming from San Francisco Bay.  As the air moves from the bay down the Santa Clara Valley toward Gilroy, it tends to warm up, so summer daytime highs in Morgan Hill are typically about 3°F warmer than in San Jose.  Changes in temperature usually entail changes in relative humidity, so that may affect rainfall, as well.  A difference of 7 miles may not seem like much, but in the Coast Range of California we're dealing with microclimates, and they can differ significantly over relatively short distances.—QuicksilverT @ 06:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I live in San Jose just a few miles from Coyote Valley (its ALWAYS "Coyote Valley", never just "Coyote", but that's a different issue that I don't feel like addressing right now). Our weather matches much more closely with that of Morgan Hill then with the official San Jose weather. Therefore, describing the Coyote Valley based on Morgan Hill is not incorrect. 73.158.120.185 (talk) 03:29, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Absolute war

message: As well as adding the "no footnotes" template, I have removed from the lead section the claim that 
"This indicates that it [Absolute War] was an experiment that failed and was meant to be dropped."
For, as it stands as unsourced, reads entirely like the personal opinion of the editor, rather than an academic opinion (let alone academic consensus). If a citation is added that corroborates this claim it should very much be re-added, even if only (as should be made clear) as the contention of one/a few academics.

Talk:Congleton railway station

message: So according to British Railways Past and Present no 40 Cheshire page 101 Congleton Railway Station once had a goods yard.
I am just wondering if the goods yard at Congleton Railway station was Brunswick Wharf which is where trains on the Biddulph Valley line terminated.

thread_title:  Goods Yard 

message: Does anybody know and have any reliable sources as to when Congleton Railway Station was rebuilt?
The following books all show Congleton Railway station as it looked when built, however how the station looked when built and how it looks now are very different.
I think the station may have been rebuilt in the 60s as a photo and Present no 40 Cheshire shows the station having it’s platfroms altered. Maurice Oly (talk) 03:39, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The architectural style is typical 1960s/1970s. So it was most likely rebuilt around the time the line was electrified in the mid 60s. BR rebuilt loads of stations on the WCML and its branches around that time. However it needs a proper reference. The architecture looks somewhat like the prefabricated CLASP designs used by BR around that time, although it's in the wrong part of the country for that. G-13114 (talk) 06:08, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Dry Creek (Steelhead Creek tributary)

message: I removed some topical environmental study references because they aren't germaine to an encyclopedic article.  Moreover, the stream is not particulary noted for its environmental problems (although doubtless problems do exist there); including great detail implies otherwise.  No offense or whitewashing was intended.  Please do add them back in their own section if you disagree. Dudshan 01:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some rework 

message: I corrected the route.  According to maps, Dry Creek does not meet American River.  Dry Creek flows parallel to American River for about a mile in Discovery Park, then discharges into Sacramento River just above American River.
Unless conflicting information appears, I will rename the article from Dry Creek (American River) to Dry Creek (Sacramento River).

Talk:El Portal, California

message: The only land area figure given is 1592 sq. mi. (This seems ridiculously large for a small town, but it is mentioned only as a census-designated place.) The population is given as 474.
Yet the population density is given as 290/sq. mi. rather than the obvious quotient of 474/1592 sq mi. = 0.3/sq. mi.
Likewise, the total area is given as 1639 sq. mi., and subtracting the land area leaves 47 sq. mi.
But instead the water area is presented as 0.047 sq. mi. It seems that someone divided 47 by 1000.

Talk:Glamis, California

message: While I see that you are trying to clean up entries for genuinely non-notable places (I've looked over the list of proposed deletions made today), Glamis is in an entirely different league from the others. By standards of notability, Glamis is easily one of the most notable places in the entire region. It may not have permanent residents, but any given weekend of the year there are anywhere from several hundred to several thousand people staying there. There are easily several million people who know where Glamis is, and over a million people visit it each year, often making many repeat visits. The Glamis Beach Store, by itself, has over 2500 FaceBook followers, which is a lot for a single store in a single location.

Talk:Willy Burgdorfer

message: Dr. Burgdorfer did not retire in 1986, even though it's said in more places than this website. I know this as a fact because Dr. Burgdorfer worked closely with a U.S. pharmaceutical company in 1996+. He was head of a type of disease research at RML and used his standing, the equiptment at his disposal and other doctors at the NIH to help this pharmaceutical company. The president of the former U.S. pharm. company confirms this, along with communications between the NIH and the pharm company and of course Dr. Burgdorfer and the pharm. company. I don't know what else to say, what the specific retirement date is, I know the reason he retired, not the date. I believe the year was 1997 or 98. I just know the retirement date is incorrect and must be removed.
Jason1170 (talk) 03:08, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually found the answer to my own question - if any cares, while Dr. Burgdorfer continued to stay on at RML as Scientist Emeritus, he continued to run his laboratory, regardless of his title. The doctors / scientists there casually referred to the facility as, "Dr. Burgdorfer's lab" and regarded him as their highest superior. Dr. Burgdorfer cut off all ties with RML at around the years I listed (97 - 98) because of special interests interfering with his final research project - researching a product that he and his lab helped developed, that he believed cured Lymes disease (after personally conducting in vitro trials and personally documenting the product killing all live cultures of the spirochete he discovered and B. Hermsii). He went on to conduct in vivo trials on rats. Special interests interfered after discovering his intentions, making it impossible for him to acquire rats. Upon going to a superior, he was told to drop the product and forget any future or past research regarding it (yes i know that 1 part cant be established from anyone else except the doctor) and he severed all ties with RML after that point. This is all confirmed by the pharm company who developed the product, who worked with him on this research project. Names are, of course, not disclosed in case people think I'm advertising for some company. -- Jason1170 (talk) 17:07, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Edward Laurillard

message: Excellent article on Laurillard, an important but not notably well chronicled backroom boy. I'm a bit doubtful that Maeterlinck wrote libretti for the admirable Armstrong Gibbs. MM wrote only in French, as far as I know, and was in any case a bit on the heavily symbolist side, not strong on rolling 'em in the aisles. Perfectly prepared to be told I'm wrong however. Tim riley 23:11, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Later - I think perhaps AG wrote incidental music for a play (in translation I presume) of Maeterlinck's staged by Laurillard.

Talk:Relexification

message: The whole section on Middle English should be removed from this.  The term relexification is so massively restricted to pidgin and creole studies that one linguist making a generally ignored claim about Middle English should be considered a Fringe Theory.  Indeed, if a language borrows one word from another language and replaces a native word with it, it can be legitimately considered to be "partially relexified" under this definition.  The whole issue of relexification is reserved for pidgin and creole studies to explain massive grammatical similarity between creoles, but lexical dissimilarity.  It is irrelevant for Middle English studies.  "Relexification" is NOT a synonym for "borrowing". (Taivo (talk) 22:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Good refs, though. They should be in the intro. kwami (talk) 22:55, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

text: We could even give Middle English as an example of large-scale borrowing which is not relexification. There is, however, the question of Old English, but maybe that's best left out. kwami (talk) 22:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, there are cases of languages who have not only borrowed massively, but also replaced much of their native lexicon by borrowings (Albanian and Armenian come to mind), and English has done that, too. It has not only borrowed, even though the replacement of native lexicon was centuries later than the onset of borrowing. It is also true that English is not as extreme a case as Albanian or Armenian, and even there, quite a lot of basic vocabulary is left that is actually native. But the penetration and embedding of borrowed vocabulary is doubtless quite deep, and does concern basic vocabulary, too. There are probably many more cases (Welsh, Basque?), of languages that just narrowly escaped being entirely replaced. None of those cases, however, comes quite to the dimensions found in true mixed languages or pidgins/creols. So whether the term relexification is appropriate is a matter of taste. Perhaps partial relexification is a more acceptable description. Florian Blaschke (talk) 06:01, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
