Talk:Bishop of St Asaph

message: This page and Diocese_of_St_Asaph contain much of the same content.  Suggestions?  TSP 02:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest that in all such instances both a Diocese and a Bishop article are valid (i.e. they should not be merged).  The Diocese article should contain information specific to the history and geography etc. of the diocese whilst the Bishop article should contain information specific to the history and status of that particular office.  I also feel that a decision needs to be made to standardise the Bishop articles.  At present some have the list of incumbents within the page and some have a separate page for the list of incumbents.  --JohnArmagh 07:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Geoffrey II of Anjou

message: Perhaps this is not an important issue...  
A marriage is mentioned, (Geoffrey's third) to "Adele, the daughter of Count   Odo II of Blois".  The Odo II article doesn't confirm or support that Adele (3WO Geoffrey) was Odo's daughter.  It doesn't deny or challenge her parentage either, however.  There is no mention of her at all in that article.
Odo II of Blois lists two wives for Odo (Eudes) so that Adele's mother can not even be assumed by default.  Adele probably doesn't warrant her own article, and any information on her would have to be included in related articles.
When an article is linked by another as a reference it should contain some relevant information.  I know that the linking is done automatically sometimes by keyword, and it would be asking an author to go over and above to check every link in an article for relevancy.
I don't have a solution... just pointing out the problem.  If there is no "relevancy policing" of linked articles the potential value of the links will decline to the point of being worthless.  After scanning some number of linked irrelevant articles people will not want to "be fooled again..." 
--Dogfish 18:32, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, to some degree that reflects the state of scholarship in this case. From : "No other reference has been found to Adela.  She may have been the mistress rather than wife of Comte Geoffroy.  The only 'count Eudes' identified at this time is Eudes II Comte de Blois, but no other record has been identified of his having a daughter named Adela." FWIW, normally when creating new articles on medieval personalities, I cross-check that they're linked to by immediate genealogical relatives (parents, in-laws, etc.). Choess 19:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Choess.  I have never found anything more on Adele either... that's why I followed the link.  The article would probably be improved by the removal of the link and the insertion of "alleged" or "unproven", but what bothered me most was that the link was probably added automatically and after the author had "finished" the article.  In fact it bothered me enough to start a discussion at Community Portal> Policy. Link Policing..?--Dogfish 04:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really, it was added by Mississippienne, here. Since she added Duby as a source in the same edit, presumably that is where she got the info. (Not to say that Duby is infallible, of course.) Adam Bishop 05:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Probus Clubs

message: A start has been made to this article. Please would any better informed than this author add more information about the history and extent of the movement and provide links to people of note associated with it?
I had hoped that Probus memebrs would expand this article, but, it is a matter of fact that many are of a generation unfamiliar with the internet, let alone with Wikipedia, so I was over optimistic. This was my first excursion into wikipedia and I had not appreciated that an axe hangs over the head of stubby articles. 
Please do not delete this article - Probus makes an important contribution to the quality of life of people of mature years and, because it has no central direction or formal organisation above local level, its existence depends entirely on word-of-mouth.  Wikipedia has a role to play in explaining what the movement us about and, so, this article deserves to be retained and expanded.
I have deleted the removal notice - not being too familiar with the rules yet, I hope I have  not committed an offence?

Talk:Jerusalem–Malha railway station

message: The Malha train station is no longer just a train station, but also a transit hub serving inter-city bus lines and (in the future) a light rail station. Perhaps then, this page should be renamed to something more general (such as  "Malha Terminal") and be split into section about each function of the compound? IgKh

Talk:San Francisco Belt Railroad

message: I think that a mention should be given to the San Francisco Bay Railroad, which began operations in 2000 at pier 96 using two ex-Belt Railroad locomotives. Their history page seems to imply that they are sort of a successor-in-interest. While it only operates over a small fraction of the Belt Railroad's trackage, I think it would be relevant enough.
EDIT: The history page seems to have been lifted directly from the GGRM's old article (see citation 1), with a short section added on. The original text was apparently written by a man named Thomas Beutel. Unfortunately, the addition gives no information on what happened between 1993 and 2000, and I have not been able to locate that information anywhere else.— Preceding unsigned comment added by EvJay (talk • contribs) 22:12, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Who is the youngest referee in the fifa world cup history?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.55.82.190 (talk • contribs) 
Quick google search suggests Mark Shield or Francisco Mateuccia.
From :
:For the record, Shield is the youngest ever referee to officiate at the FIFA World Cup Finals, his appearance in Korea/Japan in 2002 at just 28 years old a record that the Australian holds with much pride.
From :
:Youngest referee in a World Cup game was Francisco Mateuccia of Uruguay, 27 years and 62 days old when he led Yugoslavia - Bolivia in 1930.
BTW article on this topic was suggested at Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/2006-06-17#Youngest_Referee_on_FIFA_world_cup_event.

Talk:Modest Ilyich Tchaikovsky

message: How should the name of the composer of the music for “Serenade” be spelled? Most Westerners now spell it Tchaikovsky, but City Ballet took up, during Balanchine’s lifetime, the spelling Tschaikovsky. Why? Because that’s how the composer spelled it when he was in New York in 1891. (My thanks to the reader who sent me a copy of his Carnegie Hall autograph from the Pierpont Morgan Library.)

A quick wikipedia search for "summer camp" and "New york" turns up dozens of camps and even a category, :Category:Jewish summer camps, so apparently precedent exists to list summer camps on Wikipedia.

message: The Kutsher family still owns and uses this land as part of their hotel/country club complex.  It is one of the last (the last?) major Borscht Belt hotels left in the Catskills.  The fact that the Kutsher family owned this camp, by default (IMHO) makes the camp important, especially since it's sister camp, the Kutsher's Sports Academy is still open.  
The Camp has an active alumni group.  It regularly attended the Maurice Stokes Game, a fundraiser held annually at the hotel or the Sports Academy.

Talk:Connecticut Southern Railroad

message: * Specific text to be added or removed: "Much of the railroad's traffic comes from imports to Connecticut, such as lumber, steel, and carbon dioxide... As of 2022, CSO carries approximately 18,500 carloads annually... CSO peaked at 26,000 carloads per year." 
* Reason for the change: It's company policy to not disclose annual carloads for our railroads. There may be limited cases where we provide that information for a news article or report. If the source is an article that cites our company or a representative of our company, we are okay with that. But we request the removal of any mention of annual carloads or commodities/traffic hauled that are not sourced. 
* References supporting change: Not applicable for this instance. I am not trying to replace this; I am trying to get it removed.

Talk:Naugatuck Railroad

message: This aricle already covers too much separate subject matter insofar as "Naugatuck Railroad" refers to both a 19th century company and a 21st century heritage line (that runs or allows runs of some freight).  The Danbury Branch has separate articles for the historic railroads (e.g. Fairfield County Railroad and Danbury and Norwalk Railroad) and for the Danbury Branch itself.  The latter article includes different Metro North style templates and links (that seem out of place in articles on historic railroads). I think the Danbury Branch model works well and would work very well for this line.  Removing the redirect of Waterbury Branch to this article would be necessary. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 03:24, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
