Talk:USS Skate (SSN-578)

message: According to the Appendix C in the book Blind Man's Bluff (ISBN 006103004), the USS (SSN-578)Skate also earned a Navy Unit Commendation in 1958.  Does anyone have any information about the 1958 award? TomStar81 22:44, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Two dates seem to be commonly cited for the first surfacing at the North Pole: 11 August 1958 and 17 March 1959. It's fairly easy to find authorative-looking references for both dates. The only "source" I have found so far that discusses or even acknowledges this discrepancy is a blog comment here which says "USS Skate did indeed surface at the North Pole but not until 17 March 1959. Ice conditions in August 1958 were too heavy at the Pole for the Skate to surface, as they were for the Nautilus some days earlier." Obviously that wouldn't be accepted as a Wikipedia source, but does anyone know for sure which date really is correct? 86.160.211.148 (talk) 03:37, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Two points in reply 1) The infobox gives his nationality as British, which is both correct and verifiable, 2) "Devonish" isn't a word, Cornish is, and "Yorkist" means an adherent of the House of York in the Wars of the Roses, not someone from Yorkshire. DuncanHill (talk) 18:04, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Cornwall is not a country in almost every sense and proscribed elements... Also, "Cornish" is not a nationality for the lead so changing. Edit: there's no evidence in the main body of the article for what he self-identified as. Many people in Cornwall identify as Cornish, English, British or a combination of such. Some people treat their Cornish identity as something as more of a regional identity. I have changed the lead accordingly. Which was changed from British original with no consensus or reason given so this is pretty much a revert.  --Τασουλα (talk) 17:32, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Wilton

message: The following two pairs of entries were already on this dab page. 
*Wilton (town), Maine
*Wilton (CDP), Maine
*Wilton (CDP), New Hampshire
*Wilton (town), New Hampshire
I havn't a clue what a CDP is, and looking at the articles behind the links just confused me more, as all four articles said they were about towns; the only reference to CDP was as a disambiguator in the titles. Both (town)/(CDP) pairs were in the same county; but clearly were not duplicates as they had different areas/populations.
There is a definition of CDP in Wikipedia as 'census designated place' but this article implies that a CDP isn't a town, in contradistinction to this case, so I doubt this is the meaning here. Even if it is, I still don't know how to sensibly disambiguate these entries.
If you understand what is going on here, please explain in the disambiguating descriptions. -- Chris j wood 22:55, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey!  An 18 month turnaround time!  I just found the Wilton pairs and have written out what a CDP is and provided a link to Census-designated places.  In New England, towns are subdivisions of counties:  all rural land is in some town or other.  Any Census-designated place in New England will be a built-up community that is located within a town.  There are many cases where the Census Bureau has decided to give a CDP designation to the built-up village forming the center of the town.  This means that if you type in "Wilton, Maine" looking for Census data, you get two entries back:  one for the built-up village, and one for the entire town, including the built-up village and all the rural land surrounding it.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Principality of Sealand

message: Regarding reality and fantasy: This is what the Bates family have to say on their own Principality of Sealand web site:
"Sealand was founded on the principle that any group of people dissatisfied with the oppressive laws and restrictions of existing nation states may declare independence in any place not claimed to be under the jurisdiction of another sovereign entity. The location chosen was Roughs Tower, an island fortress created in World War II by Britain and subsequently abandoned to the jurisdiction of the High Seas."
The problem with that statement is that it is untrue on its face. Roy Bates, who is British, has gone to great lengths to state that he is proud to be British. He has made no attack on Britain because it is an "oppressive" nation, just the opposite is true. He defended the UK when he was in the British Army and he claims to have defended it again during the Falklands War.
However, Bates then claims that Rough(s) Tower is an island fortress when in fact it is a sunken barge with a superstructure above the waterline. He states that it was "abandoned to the jurisdiction of the High Seas" which is totally untrue as evidenced by the UK Ministry of Defence buoys that surround the sunken barge on Rough Sands sandbar to this very moment in time!

Talk:Vágar Airport

message: Can anyone verify this?
----
The Islands history took a blow in 1972 when an El Al flight from Tel Aviv landed full of terrorists who took control of the aiport and declared Vagar as an Israeli outpost and that the Faroe Islands were now part of Israel including Waveland. The offical language was changed to Hebrew and Vagar became 'Jew City' with 10 new Synagogues built within the week from Cardboard and Sheepskin. A new circumcision ward was added to Jew City General Hospital, opened by Rabbi Bum-Mashalahek, and was put into immediate use. Natives were not pleased with the new administration and many refused to use Hebrew as their first language - a new form of Faeroese circulated called 'New Faeroese - Neu Føroyst' which was made illegal within the week. Eventually the Terrorists realised that they achieved nothing by capturing the Islands and had basically just pissed everyone off for 3 years. Faeroese control was reinstated on 23rd June 1975.
