Talk:Tainui

message: I notice that even Tainui in their new shops in Te Awa,The Base are unsure where they came from.The picto/ map by the food centre shows the waka coming both over the Tamaki isthmus AND down the west coast from North Cape.Now it has been revealed that Uenuku ,the legendary Tainui bird ,bought from their homeland is made of NZ Totara!Not only that but some years ago the resting place of Tainui was investigated by Auckland University-the decayed wood in the resting place was also Nz Totara.Apparently some in Tainui have known this for years but have kept quiet.All this is consistent with the well known Symonds theory from the 1970s that Northland was the "Hawaiki"or source area for many NZ waka.Tainui legends tell of finding people on the land already and pushing then south till they were finally beaten in a battle about 1450 on the banks of the Waikato near Atiamuri.Legend also tells of them bringing the Kumara to the Waikato.This is consistent with arrival from the north where Kumara is much easier to grow due to the warmer climate.Claudia feb 2011  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.186.74 (talk) 09:58, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Replace Tainui myth with proven facts. 

message: Are there any Tainui people besides just the Waikato Tainui? I ask because the history and background of the tribe on this page seems exactly like the history on the official Waikato Tainui website http://waikatotainui.com/?id=1. If there aren't other tribes, then it might be best just to merge this with the page on the Waikato Tainui. If they are different, then it might be good to include more information on other Tainui tribes, and maybe put some of the content here on the Waikato Tainui page. Just a thought.

Talk:Twickenham Stoop

message: We don't say anything in the article about the dimensions of the playing area. The IRB laws used to state only a maximum length and width: 100m x 70m (excluding the in-goal area). But the more recent versions of the IRB laws now specify also a minimum length and width for pitches used in test matches. For a game between national representative teams the pitch must be 94-100m long and 68-70m wide. This is why Welford Road is not included in the 2015 World Cup venues. The playing area is too small.
What are the dimensions of the playing area at the Stoop? (I'm going to be there on Saturday, but I don't have a long enough tape measure!)

"Fleeting" would seem to characterize how soon (after it was added) that this note was deleted, which it wasn't.  Anyway, Google: "camera phones" espionage.

thread_title:  USB Host?  

message: I think this article should be renamed: The current title (Neo1973) is only the name of the version GTA01, and this article also covers Neo Freerunner (GTA02). I suggest one of the following names:
*Neo Freereunner (as this will be the device for mass market; this name is used in the French Wikipedia)
*Neo (mobile phone) (This name is used as the title of the corresponding section in the German Wikipedia)
*Openmoko phones (This fits well with the structure of the Openmoko article) 
Unfortuantely I don't know what the next phones will be like or how they will be named (Will the Hardware be similar to Neo 1973 and Neo Freerunner or will there be completely new devices? Will they have Neo in their names as well?) Does anyone know more about this so we can decide on an appropriate title? --Galadh (talk) 12:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Haswell

message: OK, please really read MOS:IMAGE, completely. By forcing it to be a certain size you are forcing everyone to view it at your preferred size, which is 250. Now, that is larger than the default, but via your user preferences you can make it go larger, except here where you would then force those people to view it even smaller. What's more, is though you claim you want people to be able to read the inscription, I know I still can't at the 250 size you insist it be at. As in no matter what, you still will have to click on the image in order to read the inscription, an inscription that though interesting is not particularly pertinent to the biography of Haswell (everything about him is in the article already, though it does contradict what you wrote in the article to begin with). Plus, for most readers, forcing it at that size then extends the image through three sections, which includes forcing the portal link down into the references section. But, whatever, I'll remove it from my watchlist so you can own it, complete with using British style dates instead of US style M/D/Y as covered here. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: [I have replaced my earlier comment (see history if you must) with one more in keeping with the spirit of Wikipedia.] You made a change to the page that I thought reduced its utility, so I reverted, explained why I thought the change was disadventageous, and asked for a specific explanation of your reasoning so I could consider your perspective.  That is not ownership.  As to the date issue: although born in America, he spent significant time in England, and perhaps served in the Royal Navy; his most notable achievement involved as much of the Canadian coastline as the American (If I recall correctly, DCB, using British style dates, is the only national-level biographical compendium to give him a full article); at the time he considered himself to be English even though he was serving in an American ship; as an adult he spent much more time at sea and in ports neither American nor English (e.g. Amsterdam, Surinam, Batavia, Canton, Rio, etc.) or in the navy, than on American soil. With this record, I can't agree that he is strongly enough associated with a single particular region to require a particular dating style to be used, and so I used my own style.  You are, of course, free to argue to the contrary, as are others.  As to the errors on the tombstone, yes, they are the result of family tradition from the time the stone was erected, decades after all of the named individuals died.  If you have questions about the factual accuracy of the page, again we can discuss those issues. Agricolae (talk) 19:58, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Skills-based routing

message: This edit history indicates a number of reference links have been removed, fromafter the text.
:Manufacturers claim that this technology improves customer service, shortens call handling time, makes training shorter and easier, thus increases agent utilisation, productivity and, hence, revenue.
Apparently, from the edit summary, the editor considered them commercial. There has been no discussion or explanation about this removal on the talk page. 
The Wikipedia:Verifiability policy requires that reliable sources be cited. I would have thought that publications by commercial organisations that support their claims are reliable because they are the primary sources of those claims. Maintaining a Neutral point of view requires that a range of sources be cited to support the statements made in the article. This is what is required to synthesize published material and is not advertising. There is no policy requiring that only non-commercial academic sources be cited. To do so introduces bias, as Wikipedia would then be devoid of articles about subjects that had not had an academic treatment. Presenting a range of commercial URL's also is not spam, if those URL's are presented in the article in a relevant context. For that reason, I think the citations should be put back. They also provide a good resource for anyone researching the topic. -- Cameron Dewe 04:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Wrongful conviction of David Camm

message: @Numberguy6 So I took a look at the sources for the claim on timezones and I wasn't able to find anything useful. Of the four cited sources, only source 9 discusses the timezone screw up, and it only makes a brief allusion to it. I did wanna clarify the case, so I wanted to see the actual case on Google Scholar. Using Google Scholar on Case Law and searching for 'David Camm "6:19pm"' only returned two sources, one unrelated and one being the third appeal case from 2004. Ctrl+f for 6:19pm shows only one report, and it also leaves it at "software error concerning Indiana's unusual time zones". Looking at Time in Indiana, Daylight saving time in the United States, and the time and place the murder occured, my best guess is it had to do with Floyd county unofficially following DST at the time of the murder while the rest of the state did not. But I can't find any reliable information on this, and I doubt there ever will be given that the case itself doesn't clarify that. So for now, I am removing your tag.
