Talk:Linwood G. Dunn

message: In:
:"the special effects division of the studio was shut down in 1958 and Dunn focused on his work with his own company.
:"Dunn did the optical composites and title sequence for West Side Story and the elaborate finale fire-ladder sequence at the end of Stanley Kramer's It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), which required 21 different all-color elements to be composited into final images.
:"Other later large-format and/or high-profile films Dunn's company did opticals for are My Fair Lady (1964), The Great Race (1965), Hawaii (1966), The Bible (1966), Darling Lili (1970), and Airport (1970).
:"As Desilu grew as a company, even TV production required the occasional use of optical effects, especially for increasingly elaborate title sequences, and Dunn was one of several optical houses that supplied them.
:"In 1965, Dunn became one of four optical houses that supplied visual effects for the original classic Star Trek TV show. It was mostly Dunn who photographed the 12-foot large original starship Enterprise model"
:::....Linwood Dunn is first referred to as himself, then later, referring to Dunn's company (name?) it also refers to Dunn, but at the latter point it is referring to Dunn's company as "Dunn". What is the name of Dunn's company --- rewrite needed to distinguish between Dunn and Dunn's company in this section. User:Pedant 16:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hyphenation 

message: I've tried to find the heritage listing on the NSW Heritage register but I'm not finding anything.
Furthermore, a recent article of 31/3/2011 (page 44, Sydney Magazine) casts doubt on this. This is a short extract from 'TALES OF THE CITY – WELL KNOWN SYDNEY LANDMARKS':
...in its current "dual screen" set-up since 1990, when the left side of the billboard was added to the original neon panel that first fired up in 1976. And while Coca-Cola now claims it's a myth the beverage once contained cocaine, it's definitely a myth – massively propagated by the internet – that the giant red billboard is heritage-listed.
It probably should be. Even the gurus at the NSW Heritage Office we contacted for this story thought it was ... until they checked and found out that it wasn't.
So is that earlier source used to support the heritage listing claim actually correct? It would seem not.

Talk:Lyman Hall High School

message: Re-worded the part on the Trojan Times since the "Unfortunately, " gives it a tone that is biased and not factual per Wikipedia guidelines.  Also removed the part that claimed that the journalism class was cut due to mid- late- 2000's recession, since there is no reference.  The reference cited mentioned nothing of the journalism class having to be cut and mainly talked about re-structuring the elementary school system to save money. For all we know it just wasn't a very popular elective class. Most electives that have 30+ kids dying to take it each semester never get cut no matter how bad the economy is.
--jr
The discussion of the school newspaper should indicate when the publication began. Was the Trojan Times a print or online publication? For many years, the LHHS school paper was The Compass. At least part of the time it was a monthly page made available by the Morning Record newspaper and later was printed using an offset process and distributed at the school supported by advertising sales.

Talk:Historical climatology

message: This page is completely unreferenced; and just about every statement in the intro is questionnable:
: Historical climatology is the study of historical changes in weather and their effect on human history. This supplants the traditional study of only ice ages and other dramatic effects. This differs from paleoclimatology because historical climatology studies the correlations of human history and climate change and not merely ecological effects. The study seeks to define periods in human history which were either warmer or cooler than the present.

Talk:Gordie Lockbaum

message: I noticed the red link for Medina, Pennsylvania.  Maybe it's a typo (on collegefootball.org) for the town name or maybe the town actually changed its name but I cannot find any evidence that a "Medina", PA exists.  Google maps points me to a street in Philly instead and a zip code search (http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown.jsp) gives an error!  I looked under Pennsylvania to see if there's a list of towns or a category hierarchy but found no town lists for PA.  Because of policies at Wikipedia:Red link, I think it makes sense to remove the wiki-link on this "mystery" town in this article, so I am. --Georgeryp 07:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The article Andersonville (novel) states that Kantor's novel was not the basis for the mini-series.

thread_title:  Conflict about ''Andersonville'' 

message: It is not widely understood that "Andersonville" - Kantor's opus magnum - was the result of TWENTY-FIVE years of research and literary labor. His original concept and book structure was established circa 1930. He absolutely did NOT get the idea for THIS book in 1945 after visiting holocaust extermination camps. Furthermore, "Andersonville" is not based merely upon the McElroy Diary. Both the hardcover and softcover printings include an extensive BIBLIOGRAPHY appendix where the author explains his approach to the subject, and a LIST of his sources. BTW, I later collected some 60% of those references. Lastly it is no accident that Confederate Inspector General Robert Hall Chilton - who denounced the prison in blunt words to his military superiors - and I bear the same last name. Robert shared his angst about Andersonville prison and history with his cousin in Richmond, William Parish Chilton who Represented Montgomery AL in the Confederate Congress. SIGNED --Edward M.

Talk:List of Brontë poems

message: I notice a sudden rush of articles about poems written by t'lasses and t'lad from t'parsonage all by different users. I think I am right in identifying the source of them. Please read Wikipedia:School and university projects and confirm that I am correct. Please bring the following to the notice of all involved in the project.
* Context. As an absolute minimum, an article must start with something like "Lines are a poem by Emily Brontë" and it must link to the bio article about the author.
* In general, the text of poetry should be posted to Wikisource not here. But it is accepted that the text of a short poem may be included providing the article actually discusses the poem. But an article that contains nothing but the poem, is likely to be marked for deletion.
* My mummy told me that back in County Down, Patrick Brontë was known as plain Paddy Brunty - the 'ë' (e-diaeresis) was an affectation he took on when he came to Yorkshire. However Wikipedia follows his affectation. Will you please follow it too.
* Do not be off-put by people who tag your articles "unreferenced" or "non-neutral" - some Wikipedia editors try to bring the same tests that they apply in articles about the real world to literary criticism.
* The job is not finished until you have created incoming links to your articles.

We are an encyclopedia, a tertiary source: we report the literary criticism of notable poems in reliable sources, we don't write literary criticism. Please see our core policies WP:V and WP:OR.

Talk:World Confederation of Billiards Sports

message: The page has just been moved form "World Confederation of Billiards Sports" to "World Confederation of Billiard Sports". I wonder what the true name is. As what I find at the official homepage, the haeding is "World Confederation of Billiards Sports".
However, in the constitution of WCBS, it states that in article 1.1 "The name of this controlling sports organization shall be the WORLD CONFEDERATION OF BILLIARDS SPORTS (WCBS), which was inaugurated on January 25, 1992 at Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland". So, which name is true?
As the constitution shall be the founding document of an organization, I would say "WORLD CONFEDERATION OF BILLIARDS SPORTS" should be the true name. Do anyone agree with me?
