Talk:Altlußheim

message: This is an English "encyclopedia" right?
The "ß" is just an alternative (very German way) of writing "ss" (double s) right?
So why not write it in a way that English speakers understand?
It seems silly and pedantic to use the "ß" when "ss" is perfectly correct in both languages.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.7.10.7 (talk) 04:45, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The town's name is spelled with a ß. Take a look at their website and that is how they spell it. The fact that ß can be replaced with ss where no ß is available does not change that fact. You are correct that this is an English encyclopedia. The MOS does allow us to use the English name, such as for Munich (München) and Cologne (Köln), where we can show that there is a commonly accepted English name for the town. Altlußheim does not fall in that category, so the rule is where there is no commonly accepted English name, you fall back to the native name. Since we use the native name, we create a fallback by creating a redirect at Altlussheim. imars (talk) 06:33, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

text: If you take a look at the article ß you'll also see that there is a pronunciation difference. "ss" is used after short vowels and "ß" is used after long vowels. imars (talk) 10:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:The Championship Course

message: I've added this table, which appears a bit cumbersome but has some info in it that may be useful.  It's no substitute for a coxes' guide to the tideway (nothing about the rules of the river, for example) but do you think it's helpful or encyclopedic?  Should it be expanded to include the various rowing clubs?  Or deleted to revert to the previous mention of a few major ones? TrulyBlue 08:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

text: *Almost all the images I took for the Boat Race course are looking upstream, racing on a flood tide like the Boat Race. Would those images really be suitable for this article - aren't there a lot of cases where the course is rowed downstream?

Talk:University Church of St Mary the Virgin

message: St Mary's is only one of Oxford's parish churches. It has a relatively small parish consisting mostly of University buildings. Other parishes cover other parts of the city - there is no such thing as Oxford Parish. The city church is St Michael at the Northgate (an adjoining parish), but this is not 'Oxford parish' either.
St Mary's is therefore ONE of Oxford's parish churches and it is true to say that it is the largest of these.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Badger74 (talk • contribs). 
J Sherwood's book, from which the 'beautiful spire' cite comes from notes that is it both the University Church AND Oxford (City)'s parish church, Oxford may well have other parish churches in their individual parishes (littlemore et al.). I initially reverted your edit as it had an unsubstianted claim ("is the largest of Oxford's parish churches") and also muddied the clarity of it being the birthplace of the university, I've left it as is (albeit grudgingly - as imho the line was better before) but added  for substiantion of the largest parish church claim. --Alf melmac 17:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Although the University Church of St Mary the Virgin's website states that it is in the "liberal catholic" tradition of the Church of England, it is most certainly not Anglo-Catholic like some other Oxford parishes such as St Mary Magdalen and institutions like Pusey House.

message: The title sequence shows an Aer Lingus jet at Shannon Airport, which certainly was and probably still is a major refuelling stop for planes travelling from Europe to North America.Shannon Airport is the reason this editor has "visited" the Irish Republic three times.The title there is written:
 theMatchMaker
with "the" in lower case, two highly stylized M's and a shamrock above the 'r' to remind us that Ireland believes in the Holy Trinity.
So that is basically a logo in its presentation.
WP and the IMDb tend to discount such gimmickry as establishing an official title.
So the poster title:

represents the real and legitimate one.

As part of my goal to bring this article up to a higher status, I'm planning on adding sources, rearranging sections, and making substance edits as needed. My work on this page is related to BYU's Louisa May Alcott collection. Feel free to join me, and let me know if you have any questions! Heidi Pusey BYU (talk) 19:31, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it seems that this page needs more work than I originally thought. As such, I'm going to give a little update. I'm preparing Background and Reception sections, as well as a Themes section that will replace the unsourced Themes section that already exists. The new Themes section has similar ideas to what already exists, but it will have sources and be explained in a little more depth. I'm seriously considering removing the character section because the characters are talked about in both the Plot and Themes sections. If I remove it, I'll make sure to put any important character information in the plot. If that doesn't work, I'll make a condensed version of the character section.

thread_title: Please remove all [[Valediction]] matter from this article

message: Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that a complimentary close is basically a kind of valediction. From Dictionary.co.uk: Valediction: A word or phrase of farewell used to end a letter or message. along with other meanings like the act of farewell. In contrast, CC has a more narrow meaning. Interestingly, most of this article is copied (or stolen? XD) from Valediction. With most of its content taken away to here, the valediction article can't exist by itself. However, since Valediction has wider meaning than CC, it is inappropriate to redirect Valediction to here either. Complimentary close, however, could be incorporated into the valediction article. So I am suggesting a redirect. Da Vynci (talk) 00:55, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:CCAT Boat Club

message: The article currently states - The boat club has chosen to retain the name CCAT so as not to lose its positions in the bumps races.
That can't be a true statement, because in the last 62 years, 3 clubs have changed their names, and still retained their places;
*1945/1946- 1st Trinity merged with 3rd Trinity to form 1st & 3rd Trinity - all boats kept the position of 1st Trinity's former positions.
*~1970-ish - University College Boat Club became Wolfson College Boat Club
*~1995/1996 - Queen Margaret of Anjou Boat Club (QMABC) became King's College Boat Club (that was just the women - the men always rowed as King's)
That would make you think that there's a different reason for keeping the CCAT name. Richard B 21:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
