Talk:Edward Bocking

message: * Many families, including my own, who come from Bocking are named Bocking or Boca [legendary founder of Bocking]. This does not mean that they we are acutally descended from Boca or from the famous Bockings such as [Edward Bocking]]. My family must have taken or must haven been given the name of Boca since I can hardly be descended form a legendary king. -Frederick Boca 13:52, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Sivapithecus

message: I agree with the merger. As I say above, Ramapithecus seems to be an obsolete name (in the technical sense).
Also, it appears that some of the information in the article on Ramapithecus was taken from creationist sources such as Duane Gish, who have an definite NPOV axe to grind.  --Cam 07:58, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Gordon Pirie was one of my childhood heroes, (I must do a stub) and his classic encounter with Kuts in th 10,000m  is mentioned in the writeup. My recollection is that Kuts later described how Pirie had put him under tremendous pressure and he had looked back 'had there been a glimmer of a smile, Pirie would have won - but all I could see was pain' Am I remembering this all correctly?

message: Is there a standard way of dealing with ships that have changed name?  I recently found the link on the  List_of_auxiliaries_of_the_United_States_Navy#Missile_Range_Instrumentation_Ships_.28T-AGM.29 for the Vanguard to be an empty stub.  I pointed this out to a former Vanguard crew member who shot me back the link to USNS Mission San Fernando.  I edited the auxiliaries list to link to that, but display the Vanguard name.  The Vanguard disambiguation page already points to MSF.  It occurs to me that it might have been better to fill in the Vanguard stub with a redirect to the MSF.  That would help any other links to Vanguard.  It would also be easier if the MSF article ever grew to the point it made sense to break it up.  Is there a wiki SOP for this?  --J Clear 15:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why is this article called "J. Lyons and Co."? 

message: I have seen the collapse of J. Lyons cited in a discussion of "currency risk". The claim was that they were selling a lot of swiss rolls in their cafes, so they decided to buy the Swiss company that made them. They paid for it with borrowed Swiss Francs, expecting to service and repay the loan from their increased Sterling revenues. Then the UK inflation rate rose, so their earnings were insufficient to service the loan. The point was that this would not happen now, a sensibly-run company would hedge its currency risk; but such arrangements were not common in the '60s.
I would add a section about this, if I could find a reference for it. Maproom (talk) 07:47, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
