Talk:Rundata

message: The notation (for instance "U 1173") is not really "from Rundata", it is merely reused there. It is in its entirety adopted from the numbering in Sveriges runinskrifter, with additions for inscriptions outside Sweden and later finds. For example, later finds published in Fornvännen receive a tag consisting of the province (landskap), a string representing the publication of the find like "Fv" (for Fornvännen, other sources receive differing strings), to a varying degree followed by year of publication and some other numbering - hence, some recent finds have IDs like "U ATA6243/65" or "U Fv1959;196". This is consistent with how inscriptions are referenced in scientific and academic literature. The only part that is really constant is the opening signature representing the province, the rest is supposed to be a reference to the publication of the inscription ("Fornvännen 1959, page 196"). (btw, "ATA" means "Antikvarisk-topografiska arkivet, Riksantikvarieämbetet, Stockholm." - hit F4 in Rundata to display a list of the abbreviations used in references and ID strings) // OlofE 17:48, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Note on notation in Rundata

message: The English-language documentation for Rundata is depressingly lacking in citations and details of the transliterations they're using. I have some of this information, and would be happy to add it to this article if people are interested.
The numbering system used in Rundata is based on several older numbering systems used in big, photo-heavy reference works.  These include Sveriges runinskrifter, Danmarks runeindskrifter, and possibly Norges innskrifter med de yngre runer (among others). It might be helpful to add full bibliographic entries for these works here (when we can figure it out).
On a related note, would it be worth including tables mapping the Rundata transliterations (from various countries and periods) back to the original runes? These are generally included in the corpus editions, and differ somewhat from the generic "futhark" tables elsewhere in Wikipedia. (For example, Viking-age incriptions from Danmarks runeindskrifter use "ᚠᚢᚦᚭᚱᚴ ᚼᚾᛁᛅᛋ ᛏᛒᛘᛚᛦ ᚤᚵᛂ" for "fuþ[ąo]rk hnias tbml[Ry] yge"--note the three extra letters.) Emk 16:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

:These links to archives:

:are not references for anything. If there is any specific pages used to source this article then we should provide links to specific documents. If no specific pages are referenced then these are not worthwhile  external links to include.  Thanks, -Willmcw July 3, 2005 04:17 (UTC)
::You are, as usual, in error. The Congressional Globe source links to the volume containing the entire legislative debate record for the bill's adoption, contents from the bill itself, and previous vetos of bills sent earlier that year. The second link is to an official publication of the US Government entitled "Historical Statistics of the United States" which contains comprehensive US import and export figures going back to the 18th century. It is the standard academic reference volume used by historians for just about any statistic pertaining to yearly import and export volumes and revenue.  Both links are to standard academic reference sources and thus are more than sufficient per WP citation standards. Rangerdude 3 July 2005 04:24 (UTC)

message: For God's sake people, will all of you annons and one edit users please read and review wikipedia's source and citation policy's?  The only source on Bill Leeb's date of birth [1] says that he popped into existence in 1966, not 57, 56, or any other year.  It dose not matter how much you can claim to the contrary, or whether you claim to have gone to high school with him or not.  However for the sake of sainty and to put and end to this stupid 'spark war,' I propose for the time being that we simply just leave his DOB out of the article altogether for the time being.  It is true that all of these claims about his DOB do originate on self published internet sources, and although I am far more inclined to believe the one from his semi-official fansite, I recommend that until someone can do some deep research that the topic remain untouched for the time being.

* It was around 1987
* This was a heavily hyped special called The Secrets of Al Capone's Vault that aired on 1986-04-21.  They the media pushed it for weeks, and the thing allegedly got a 57 rating, the highest rating in U.S. history for a TV special.  They jackhammered at a wall the basement of the Lexington Hotel in Chicago, Illinois, for over an hour and a half, finally got the thing open, and found dirt.  Once they got the hole completely open, they found a green beer bottle in the dirt.  Near the upper left-hand side of the dirt, if I remember.  I think they later found a couple more bottles. --Closeapple 07:46, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

There are references to Peekskill and Croton-Harmon, east shore locations. The editor cited Arthur G. Adams, The Hudson River Through the Years.

text: The OR would come w/o the reference or how it material was presented. The Times article is good, as is the other from '81 when the re-introduction of service was also being discussed. These never got off the ground, of course. I'm quite inclusive when it comes using references (since I expect references) if they provide welll-considered info since sometimes they may only place where info can be verified as well as give readers links to further investigate subjects. Think there may be enough to have a section on studied or proposed restoration of service, though the NJT was regional study that also looked at the Northern Branh & NYSW ROWs, too.Djflem (talk) 14:19, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Possession of less than one ounce of pot is "decriminalized" in Oregon--meaning, it's not a crime.

You cannot go to jail for possessing less than an ounce.
Possession of greater than one ounce, or possession with intent to distribute, or distribution of marijuana, are all felonies in Oregon law.

"I personally believe you are right in saying that the splitting of the moon is a folklore, but I believe less than 1 percentage of Muslims think that way (at least in Iran, I have seen only a couple of people rejecting that). I can even argue from Qur'an to at least add more doubts to its occurrence. I added the POV tag, because it is only my belief and yours; many Muslims believe in it. The title “Folklores” is by itself POV because it persuades the reader to a particular position (though it maybe a correct position according to our POV).
