thread_title:  St Dunstan's is now Blind Veterans UK 

message: An IP keeps adding an unsourced comment that John Alexander Spencer Fawcett or John Alexander Spencer Fawcett, 1st Baronet of Woolwich was a co-founder. I can find no reliable source which states that Fawcett was a co-founder. Indeed another editor, "Blindveteransuk", has said in their edit summary that "Fawcett was not a co founder of Blind Veterans UK" and when the IP re-inserted the claim, "Blindveteransuk" reverted the re-insertion with an edit summary "Removed mention of John Alexander Spencer Fawcett, 1st Baronet of Woolwich as co-founder of Blind Veterans UK as this is factually incorrect". In fact, I am struggling to find any mention of the Fawcett baronets (there are no Fawcett baronets listed here), let alone one who founded Blind Veterans UK.

Talk:Gin Act 1751

:The Gin Act 1751
:The causes
:-Politicians said Gin made people lazy and more likley to criminal activity
:-1 in every 8 people drank themselves to death!
:-It was estimated that 1/4 of the businesses were gin houses!
:-In the 1740s the people of London drank 8000,000 gallons of gin in one year!
:-That means 4 gallons of gin to each adult in London
:-
:The Event
:-English people were not allowed to distill their own gin without a license.
:-Stopped people selling to unlicensed merchants
:-The licenses cost £2 and it was 2 shillings for every gallon distilled.
:The consequences
:-There were riots in London
:-The gin taxes were increased
:-In 1742 the act was taken away becuase it could not be enforced

Talk:New Caledonian franc

message: Is this really a distinct currency from CFP franc? If so, from when to when. This article seems to have much overlap with CFP franc. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 03:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The CFP franc only came in in 1945. There were distinct francs in circulation on New Caledonia from much earlier. The situation is a bit like on the Isle of Man. The currency is effectively sterling from an economic perspective but is physically distinct. In this case, the currency used on New Caledonia is economically the same as that used in French Polynesia, in that both are the CFP franc, but the two coinages are distinct and they used to have distinct banknotes. I intend to write another article, French Polynesian franc and then edit CFP franc to make everything clear.

Usually in America the ribs are sweet flavored. The goose and ducks look red and the chicken looks yellow. So the questions are, are they all sweet? And are they soaked (marinated) in the sauce liquid before cooking, or is the liquid brushed on them while they're turning over the fire? Badagnani 05:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Viva Las Vegas (CSI)

message: In July 2009, the article was repeatedly hacked/vandalized to insert "Viagra" (which should never appear in the article). I added how the episode's title is the name of the uber-famous 1964 Elvis & Ann-Margret film Viva Las Vegas (and song), which both became instant hits linked to Las Vegas, NV and car racing for over 45 years. Unfortunately, several 2008 TV commercial ads about Viagra have pirated the famous Elvis song melody to compose a jingle "Viva Viagra" and thus created a target for sophomoric erection humor connected to Las Vegas. The word "Viagra" should never appear in the article, because the episode is linked to long-term American pop culture about only "Viva Las Vegas" (from that film/song) and Elvis (who later became a Vegas act) and Area 51 of UFOs, etc. -Wikid77 (talk) 11:22, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:List of Columbus Blue Jackets seasons

message: The math for the total number of regular season categories (games played, wins, losses, etc.) is incorrect.

Add the 48 regular season games played from the strike-shortened 2012-13 season and the total number of regular season games played is 1,360. The article underreports this as 1,278 games played. 2607:FCC8:F345:F500:7461:E868:2C31:8F18 (talk) 03:32, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Roger Christian (filmmaker)

message: I think the contributor constantly re-asserting that Mr. Christians best known work is Battlefield Earth needs to be examined & stopped. In the community of filmmakers and fans, Mr. Christians best known work (simply google his name) is his Academy Award winning work on Star Wars and his nominated work on Alien. 
Asserting his "best known work" was a "critical failure" is contradictory - if it had been his best known work, it would have had been seen by more people, and thus not a critical failure. 
Additionally, the needless inclusion of references to John Travolta & Scientology links seems to indicate the desire to connect Mr. Christian to Scientology - which has no place in his filmography - and unless cited I do not believe Mr. Christian is a Scientologist.

I do find it remarkable that all of the "Bmcinroy" edits to date have been on this article and its talk page, edits remarkably similar to those made by a user purporting to be Roger J. Christian himself. As to the "best known" issue, the Battlefield Earth movie was his first big-budget major motion picture as a director and received significant media and cultural attention. His laudable work on Star Wars and Aliens, among others, is also worthy of mention in the lede but to excise all mentions of Battlefield Earth would be like writing an article about Senator John Glenn that did not mention his career as an astronaut. - Dravecky (talk) 21:25, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
