Talk:Dickeyville Historic District

message: Long time resident and historian Bill Schultheis spent countless hours researching Dickeyville and its history and never found any evidence that the Wethered's Mill was confiscated.  The earliest record of this story I have seen comes from 3-5 papers written by college students in the 1920s.  These papers are stored in a folder located in the Maryland Room of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.  Several of these student papers include the story of the Mill being confiscated when it was discovered that they were making grey cloth, but not a single one cites a source for this.  Some of the student papers did cite many other pieces of information, although others did not cite anything.
Virginia Sandlass included this story in her history of Dickeyville, but she also failed to cite a source.  Several more recent sources that include this story cite Sandlass' history.  So there is no confirmation that this ever happened.
In the DVD Dickeyville Then and Now, Bill Schultheis presents one of his arguments against this story.  It would have taken the workers a very long time to convert the mill from blue cloth to grey cloth.  So much time that it would have been impossible for them to make blue in the day and do a covert run of grey in the evening, as the story suggests.  You can see a clip of the video here:

message: In this category's wikitext is the following category information, making this category a sub-category of the following:
μ 
μ 
 Indigenous peoples of North America 
μ
For this new section, I was originally going to use the subject: "Why categorize this under μ?" Fortunately I found Wikipedia:Categorization § Sort keys (WP:SORTKEY) while wikilinking. Point #11 says in part: 
:Several Greek letters are also used for specific purposes. 
:* "Σ" (capital sigma) is used to place stub categories at the end of subcategory lists. ("µ" (mu) was previously used, but the capital version "Μ" was confusing.)
So, I'm going to change the 3 of the 4 categories' sort keys from mu to capital sigma, and I'm leaving the 4th one for someone else to consider changing or not, since it wasn't....mu'ed. [Update: :Category:Ethnic group stubs only has 10 subcategories, and none of them are sorted into an alphabetical TOC, so IMO all 4 categories are fine as they are now. —Geekdiva (talk) 07:47, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Port Hacking

message: The aerial photograph is brilliant, but I'm not convinced it is of Port Hacking. To me it looks much more like Georges River, with Woolooware Bay at top centre and the edge of Botany Bay top left. Port Hacking is a quite different estuary further south.

However, it does seem that it's not an official part of the National League System any more — the FA's page on the NLS from 2004-05 onwards doesn't list it at step 7.

Talk:Onkaparinga River

message: The terms Mid North and Adelaide Plains (and the links to these) were removed from the article and replaced with better selections for the following reasons:
#Regions - the river is located in the South Adelaide region; the Mid North is located over 100 km to the north of the river’s alignment.  However, it would be more practical to describe it as being located in the southern end of the Adelaide metropolitan area with the latter being a piped link to Adelaide.
#Districts - the term ‘district’ in South Australia traditionally refers to local government areas and now tends to get confused with classifications such as ‘suburb’.  Adelaide Plains is not a district but is a plain as described in the state government’s placename gazetteer - please search for ‘Adelaide Plains, PLN’ on http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/.  Unfortunately, the extent of the ‘Adelaide Plains’, particularly the northern and southern ends is not defined in any reliable source.

message: The first paragraph of the article contains the phrase -
It is generally a tree up to 10 metres (33 ft) tall ... 
The "33 ft" is much more precise than the "10 metres". The 33 ft means 33 ft, not 32 ft and not 34 ft. The 10 meters, with only one significant digit shown, and taken in context, means something like 8-12 meters. These two phrases, "10 metres" and "33 ft", have different precision and hence different meaning.
This situation occurs all over the place, of course. Most (all?) books I've seen deal with this the lazy way, i.e., they give a precise conversion of an imprecise number.
