Talk:Bayou

message: I have edited the page to reflect that bayous are found in the Mississipi River Delta area, not in upstate Mississipi, which often goes by the name "Mississipi Delta" (e.g. where "Delta Blues" come from).  The bayous are a direct result of this river's (and other rivers besides the Miss) slow meandering through the southern parts of Louisiana and Mississipi, but to a great extent Louisiana.  The so-called "delta" region 100+ miles to the north of the actual delta just south of Tennessee has no bayous.  The geological feature described here is to the south and west, where water slowly filters through to the Gulf of Mexico.--68.255.104.17 (talk) 02:01, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Beal Bank

message: The creator of the article on Beal Bank has created a page each for its affiliates, CSG Investments, Inc., Loan Acquisition Corporation, and Beal Mortgage Services.  While Beal Bank passes WP:CORP by virtue of news coverage, its affiliates fail WP:CORP.  A Lexis search shows no significant news coverage on the 3 affiliates, and I could find neither Beal Bank nor its affiliates in a Yahoo stock search.  So the article on each of the 3 affiliates needs to be merged, or deleted.  Pan Dan 18:00, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what your problem is with the page on Beal Bank.  Sounds pretty neutral to me -- facts are listed, not opinions.  I think your objections are spurious.

message: Howdy. Wanted to add a note about the content I expanded March 2013. Per the tags on the pvs article (COI and Advert) I researched FDIC and banking industry standards and added:
*FDIC info on when banks founded
*Industry standard reports and comparisons of banking financial health
*Fuller list of subsidiary companies, with links to public websites
*Expanded cites from 4 pvs to 19 or so
Regarding the tags, is there a review/approval process for removing the COI and Advert tags, or is it OK for me to delete them?

Talk:Beaumont Drillers

message: * These 2 pages should NOT be merged together. Even though they were the same franchise when they moved from Alexandria (LA) to Beaumont, they should have seperate pages of info about each. If we start merging pages, then both of these teams would have to merge onto the LA Bayou Beast page since that was the "original" team name. And seeing that this franchise would date back to 1998, would be way too much info on 1 page (10 years worth). Arenafoot 03:50, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ben Ficklin, Texas

message: I have added  as the coordinates. This is the site of the granite Texas State Historical Marker entitled "Site of Ben Ficklin", but a local historian has said in a non-reliable source that the actual site was not actually at the marker, but was "the low area along the river west of the granite marker" (and my observation over many years — admittedly original research — is that state historical markers are placed along roadsides near where historical things or places were, not actually where they were, if the actual place would put them out in the middle of a field or pasture where no one could see them without trespassing). The historian went on to say, "There is an old dam called Metcalfe Dam on the South Concho immediately west of the town’s location." That dam is still shown and named on the US Geological topographical maps of the area at . Since those two points are only about 1,500 feet apart, that probably locates the actual location of the town pretty closely, but since the marker is the State's official statement of the town's location, that's what I've included in the article. The local historian's comments, being the source for those quotes, can be read here about two-thirds the way down the page. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 19:17, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

message: In 1885, Isaac Cline, who later in his life became a well known weather expert who survived the 1900 Galveston Hurricane, was sent to live and work for what would later become the National Weather Service at Fort Concho. He wrote about people from the town of Ben Ficklin who had to flee after a storm dropped Ostrich Egg Sized Hail. He reported witnessing the fish of the Concho going into torpor as the hail melted filling the river with ice melt water. He witnessed people on a stage coach crossing the dry riverbed suddenly hit by a 15-20 foot wall of water and being killed by it. He ran to safety when he saw the wall of water. Check out his diary, his report he wrote and the short write up of this storm in Erik Larson’s book, Isaac’s Storm. 50.86.98.172 (talk) 22:54, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:The Gospel According to Spiritism

message: I have moved much of the content of this article to Spiritist doctrine for the sake of brevity and to organise better the subject. I am also moving content from Spiritism and The Spirits Book.
I have realised that the way the articles were, especially this one, it would be impossible to organise them neatly (i.e., wikify). Having one single article about the doctrine will be helpful because any time one wants to refer to it he can link to that article instead of picking either of the books. 
Also the main article (Spiritism) should be introductory but it is currently too long and quite tiresome to read. Although Spiritist doctrine may become lenghty too, one can at least expect a specific topic like that to be extensive... jggouvea 22:59, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

As well the comment attributed to Moon doesn't really add anything to the article. I think those last two sentences should be removed.
