Talk:Gall adelgid

message: Made grammar adjustments today as suggested by Chaddathehutt. Chad suggests Douglas-Fir should be written as Douglas Fir, no hyphen with both capitalize. I have left the hyphen, if anyone knows whether the same should be applied to the spruce names, such as Cooley Spruce, put in your two cents. It has been my habit to write animal names in lower case just as it is done with chemical names for instance.

thread_title: Reversion

message: Currently, we have "The band split up in 1997, but its former members have continued to work in the fields of art and culture. For example, Angus Farquhar re-established the ancient Celtic Beltane Fire Festival..." Is it just me, or does this mislead on dates? The article for the festival makes it clear that it was started in the eighties. The way this article is written makes it sound as though he established it after 1997. So I don't know. Is this trying to say that he had worked in "art and culture" before, with this as an example, and continued after 1997? Or is it saying that the festival waned in the mid-nineties (I know it was thriving in the early nineties: I remember going!) and he subsequently revived it again?

Talk:Peter Athans

message: Adding some detail on Pete.  Still chasing down his climbing record (dates etc)  Also aiming to expand the Everest rescue details - my understanding is that he was instrumental in saving Beck Weathers and a Japanese climber.
Finally I'd note that the original entry mentioned that Peter was 'unique' in promoting Sherpa culture.  I removed the 'unique' not because I believe that Pete's contribution is any 'less worthy', but because we should also honour the contribution of others, and to ignore any is to detract from all.  Soo... I propose to add a short list along the lines of.. 'Other climbers who have lived in Nepal and/or made significant contributions to the Sherpa community have included Edmund and Peter Hillary, Chantal Mauduit, Dan Mazur .. ..   .. etc'  I think it is worthwhile doing this (despite the risk that some names will be missed) because it illustrates a character of mountaineering that might otherwise be lost in the 'list of summit achievements', and that is that mountaineers historically have been explorers, scientists, and champions of the wilderness and the cultures in which they travel - and that is a tradition worth recognising and promoting.Tban 05:05, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Pete Athans is no longer the  record holder for white summitteers. There are two white guys having climbed Mt.E actually (before 2008 season) nine times, one of them Gheorghe Dijmarescu, a romanian born living in Hartford, Connecticut, who was every year on the north side. The other is David Hahn (climber), both expedition leaders, Hahn working for a big commercial company and having climbed Mt.E. mostly from the south side.

thread_title: List of references

message: The Armies of the Night" is Norman Mailer's first hand account of the events surrounding the march on the Pentagon in Washington D.C. in the fall of 1967. He begins by quoting a news story from "Time" which speaks of his drunken behavior at an event the night before, and then goes on to say that he wants to tell what really happened. Essentially he explains his actions during that weekend as an attempt to wake people out of their lethargy about the war. He felt that even by antagonizing people, he would be helping to energize support for the anti-war movement. Other people involved in the march were Noam Chmosky, the linguist, Robert Lowell, the poet and Dwight MacDonald, the literary critic. The book, according to Mailer, applies the techniques of the novelist to the recounting of history. --  () 20:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I will be adding some old ones, using the timestamps in the page history. I have temporarily changed my time zone to UTC to reduce further confusion. Ardric47 07:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd like to propose that pages that need to be protected against recreation, instead of being protected with the contents of , generally be protected as a redirect to, say, Wikipedia:Deleted page (which I just created).

I guess what I'm wondering now is, how many possible reasons for protecting a page from recreation can there be?

text: I think making one page in Wikipedia space for each template and redirecting the templates to it is probably the way to go.  We don't really need to change the way the deleted pages look, just have some way of marking them in the DB so they don't pollute the random page, or put weird things in the XML feeds.
