thread_title:  From Talk:John A. Widtsoe/Comments 

message: I have on several occasions been presented with allegations that more or less all of the men who were central in the inception of Mormonism in the time og Joseph Smith were freemasons. I have so far not seen any credible source documenting this connections though. Until maybe now, but then again, maybe not. In hour 3 of "Interview with an Ex-Vampire"  (former Mormon, freemason, Wiccan High Priest, Satanist and more, Bill Schnoebelen), the following screen is shown:
:Many of the Saints were Masons. such as Joseph's brother Hyrum, Heber C. Kimball, Elijah Fordham, Newel K. Whitney, James Adams, and John C. Bennett.
:With the acquiescence of the Prophet, members of the Church already Masons petitioned the Grand Master of Illinois for permission to set up a lodge in Nauvoo. It was March 15, 1842, before authority was given to set up a lodge in Nauvoo and to induct new members. Joseph Smith became a member(Evidences and Reconcilliations, 1 volume. pp. 357-358)

Talk:Sheila Take a Bow

message: The article states "[Sheila Take a Bow] was one of the band's many "between album" singles (the last of four in a row), not having natural home on any of the studio albums. It was, however, featured on the Louder Than Bombs compilation released later in the year.", but it says that this single was released in April 1987 and Louder Than Bombs says that the album was released in Mars 1987, and also the album article makes no mention of Sheila Take a Bow was a new song, so I am guessing the date for Sheila Take a Bow is incorrect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Torr3 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The statement that Louder Than Bombs came out later in the year presumably refers to its UK release in May, two months after it came out in the States.  So although Sheila Take A Bow was only released as a single in April - meaning that the date shown is correct - it was already available in the US before that as a track on Louder Than Bombs.

Template talk:WikiProject BBC

message: These features should be kept. The to-do is for attracting potential members and the portal link should always be on the main article page and not the talk page. Unisouth 18:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure I understand your logic regarding linking to the portal. The use of  on project tags is widespread (including , arguably the most used project tag with over 200,000 transclusions) and actually makes the portal more visible to readers than a link, and possibly more so than on an article as it is at the top of a talk page and should be at the bottom of an article. I'm not sure the to do list attracts members and I removed it because it is available on the project page and on the portal, but I don't mind having it there if others do. There were also a couple of other changes I made to the template which you have just reverted without explanation, including a switch function so that it doesn't say 'article' on a non-article page, and a re-phrasing of the text which conveyed the same intention with much fewer words. The more people have to read, the less likely they are to get to the end, or to even read it in the first place, and I think having more concise text that conveys the same information will attract users more than a long sentence. Unless you or anyone else has any further thoughts, I'll re-add most of my changes to the template, which I believe are an improvement. mattbr 19:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Eka

message: Inconsistencies:
1. The article says, "The prefixes di- and tri- from the Latin prefixes meaning "two" and "three" respectively, have been used for undiscovered elements two or three places in the periodic table below the element providing the base name." But then there is a "See Also" link to Dwi-, which claims "dwi-" is used in this regard. Maybe "di-" and "dwi-" are both used in that way, or maybe just one or the other. There are no citations and I'm not in this field so I have no idea. Furthermore, the article says "It has been speculated that the similarity between the tabular structure commonly used to present the Sanskrit abugida and the periodic table is what led to Mendeleev choosing to use Sanskrit as the basis of these prefixes." So is it the Latin prefixes or the Sanskrit ones? Or both? The article is not clear
2. The article says, "For the airport with this IATA airport code, see Murray Field." This is clearly not an article about an airport or an airport code; maybe that's another 'Eka' (for which there is no article). Anyway, that sentence should be removed.

replies: text: I've just reduced this to a disambig page.  (The prefix is discussed adequately in Mendeleev's predicted elements.)  However, to respond to your remarks: (1) Yes, the article was saying that both Latin and Sanskrit prefixes have been used for this purpose.  (2) The airport code EKA is indeed a topic for another article.  That's why that cross-reference belongs here — so that people looking for that EKA, who type "eka" into the search form and end up here, will be able to find what they're looking for.
