message: The US Navy formal neckerchiefs are well described in neckerchief. I am having trouble seeing how these also fit the way an ascot is defined in this article (a narrow cloth, with wide wings, fastened with pin). If those knotted Navy neckers are rolled square cloths, doesn’t that make them thick, with wings not especially wide?
Is this a problem of an ascot definition phrased too strictly? Should a wide variety of neckcloths fit within the ascot article?
Or might some neckcloths be better covered within scarf or another article? Egmonster (talk) 10:18, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

message: I’ve been reading Wikipedia for years, and I never thought about editing something and I don’t really know how. Recently I’ve been thinking about how the USA has many local cultural festivals that either don’t have Wikipedia articles on them like how many of the festivals in other countries do, or are very short with little information. With that being said I think the Festival of Lights should be included in the article for the Mission Inn, I would edit it myself if I knew how. I think it’s a very beautiful celebration that deserves to be recognized on the Mission Inn’s article or have an article of it’s own like how San Bernardino’s National Orange Show does (which is sadly a very short article of it’s own that could use some more info).

message: I wonder if there is not any misunderstanding between spring time and spring tide. The latter has nothing to do with the season. It is just the term to call the highest tide difference, which happens around the time when the sun and moon are more or less aligned.
It would make sense that the current roars when the difference between high and low tide is big. But I don't really understand why it would roar during the spring season.

thread_title:  "top-break" 

message: The article is culled from very a out-of-date source (Bill Dowell's book) and there are more modern books -- e.g. Bruce & Reinhardt (2 vols) + Gordon Bruce's book on the air pistols + Cuthbertson "World Wide Webley" (which has the BEST chapter on the Birmingham Gun Trade that is available)
Still there are errors and NO INDEXES for the Stocker-Schmidt (Swiss  publ.) books.
Boothroyd'd "The Handgun" puts things in context well and also deals reasonably with Adams and Tranter, and Taylerson's 3-vol "The Revolver" is useful, albeit hard to use.  The best overall view is Bob  Maze's "Howdah to HiPower"

thread_title: Merge?

message: Another nice article. Just a few small things that need a bit of attention I think:
*This sentence from Exile and return makes no sense to me: "Edward then sent two envoys, Langon Henry Lacy to the pope where the envoys claimed that the archbishop was plotting against the king, Clement suspended the archbishop on 12 February 1306".
*I found the account of the refusal to make payments in Disputes with Edward to be a bit confusing. We read that the clergy of York paid their one fifth in tax, but later it suggests that the northern clergy (would that not have included York?) had only offered to pay, and that they were fined one fifth.
*Should it be Archdeacon of Essex, at the end of Early life?
*"Winchelsey vigorously asserted his authority over his suffragans ..." I've go no idea what a "suffragan" is.
*Left-aligned images shouldn't appear immediately below a subsection header, as in Disputes with Edward I.
That's it as far as I'm concerned. I'll put the article on hold for now. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 16:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Wikitorial

message: I am interested in this area as a place to discuss the project publicly.  I have heard that Jimbo Wales is going to be advising them on their next attempt, but actually I think that process can be facilitated here.
What I thought was interesting was that there were several known wiki folk at the LA Times Wikitorial, and it got me thinking about the peer group surrounding wiki culture.  Because wiki is so easy, here was a high level experiment with virtually no support from the wiki community, except to sit there and watch the train wreck.
Some of the areas of concern for me were:
* Navigation system was useless.
* Pages were randomly locked down.
* No dedicated administrators/editors, although I believe that was working itself out.
* No structured vision of what this might be.  (What kind of pages did they want.  Just editorial pages, or support pages also?
I am interested in this discussion for practical reasons (how to get wikitorials back up) and for larger ideas about how the wiki community can organize itself in the wake of this, and future, experiment(s).  -- Mark Dilley
p.s. - I think that this "Jimbo Wales, founder of Wikipedia, was one of the early contributors to the new Wikitorial which inspired a counterpoint editorial, redirections and much discussion." should be removed, it doesn't really add anything to the document side of this.
Request people to volunteer for being the wiki editor for an hour.  24 people out there that want to be an editor?
