Talk:Toronto and York Radial Railway

message: The Metropolitain Street Railway was extended to be come the Toronto and York, by moving north into York County towards Lake Simcoe. I don't see why we need an article for each component in the history of the same company... Oaktree b (talk) 14:48, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I respectfully disagree. According to the book Riding the Radials, the Metropolitan Street Railway became the Metropolitan Line of the T&YRR a.k.a. the Lake Simcoe Line. Thus the T&YRR article should remain as the corporate umbrella for several lines while the Metropolitan article describes one of the T&YRR lines. When I have time I wish to expand the Metropolitan article to describe the line. The article on the North Yonge Railways is erroneous as it went only between Glen Echo and Richmond Hill; it did not go all the way to Sutton as the article implies but the Metropolitan Line did.TheTrolleyPole (talk) 00:39, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

message: On the principle that it generally minimizes overall effort for one person to include the day of the week in an announcement, rather than have everyone else look it up for themselves, I've added "Tue" to the Future events list. Since the  template used in column 1 doesn't accommodate day-of-week, I've put it in the "Location" column to keep the time company. I recommend continuing this practice in future.

Talk:John D. Mackay

message: I request Mais oui! to desist from continually changing “Orcadian” to “Scottish”.
“Orcadian” is a perfectly legitimate term widely used to describe all those people I have contributed articles about – as Mais oui! would discover if he took the trouble to read some books on Orkney.  For example:
: The Orkney Book  edited by Donald Omand
: The New Orkney Book by Shearer, Groundwater and John D. Mackay (this is school textbook from the 1960s)
: An Orkney Anthology, edited by J.D. Robertson
As an instance, the introduction to the last of these books begins with words: “Ernest Walker Marwick was a distinguished Orcadian ..”  My article on Ernest Marwick is one of those where Mais oui! has been determined to constantly change “Orcadian” to “Scottish”.
Furthermore, the term “Orcadian” gives extra information that is lost if it is replaced by “Scottish”, analogously to the information that would be lost by replacing “Scottish” by “British”,  or “British” by “European”.  Therefore, Mais oui!’s changes are diminishing the quality of the information in Wikipedia. 
As noted on the “Orkney people stubs” discussion:

Talk:Back-to-back life sentences

message: I wrote this page as it was highly requested.Dan 19:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone dies at the end of the first life sentence, right? So what do we do with the 47 other sentences? And what's the point of heaping 480 years on top of that? The longest anyone has been proven by official records to live was 122 years, and that was an outlier by a wide margin. So, theoretically, Mr. Gary Ridgeway will have been long deceased by the end of his sentence, as if anyone would bother to keep Mr. Ridgeway and his skeleton in a jail cell for 3000-6000 years. 2000 years ago, the Roman Empire was still around. The most severe punishment at the time? Crucifixion, in ancient Rome anyhow...Why not just sentence him to a "life sentence without parole" and leave it at that? 204.52.215.107 (talk) 21:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's the point of [[Gary Ridgway|sentencing someone to 48 consecutive life sentences without parole]]?

message: Jeffrey MacDonald has an expected release date (2070 or something!) for his 3 consecutive (back-to-back) life sentences; does that reflect "life" meaning some large # of years rather than "until you're dead", or is it the practice of the Feds to set expected release dates based on typical intervals before lifers have won parole? (In that case, the exact year is just an actuarial estimate, and expected to be too low for some and to high for others.) He has so far passed up at least one chance to ask for parole, and asked but was denied once. I think he can ask again in 2020.--Jerzy•t 12:15, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:2016

message: I would also like to suggest changing the date format of this article to the DMY format (e.g. 6 June 2020 as opposed to June 6, 2020). The DMY format seems more international and more suitable for a "global" article like. Also DMY simply makes more sense as it goes from smallest to highest.
At the village pump, I've presented a  proposal to establish a standard to use DMY in general for all articles about "generic" years. The discussion got kind of messy however, and I'll propaly restart it at some point.

replies: text: Huh... I googled for a bit over lunch. The Handbook of Texas link agrees with the current article, but some major online encyclopedias don't, nor does the online version of the text of historical marker that Texas put up in 1957. On the other hand, the LDS genealogy site, http://www.familysearch.org/, gives us a complete record that matches the Handbook article, as well as some other partial records that match Who's Who. And on the third hand, I saw an online page that cited the "Handbook of Texas" but had the Who's Who dates. That third hand makes me suspect that someone published bad data early on, it got widely disseminated, and the truth is chasing it, with the Handbook having had it one way then and now the other (wild-ass guess). Unless we find something authoritive that explains what's going on, I reckon we have to note both "views" on the facts.
