Talk:David Nixon (magician)

message: I've reverted the nationality description in the infobox to United Kingdom as that is the correct wording (actually in a passport it will say "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" but "United Kingdom" or "UK" are the accepted short forms for common usage).  I mention this because someone anonymous (using AOL IP addresses) seems to be editing articles about UK citizens to remove reference to the UK. I don't object to a description of Nixon as an English magician because he was born in England and lived there and his image was very much that of an RP-accented English gent, but he was a media figure throughout the UK and was a UK citizen and that ought to be recognized.Circusandmagicfan 17:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Son of Sam law

message: It is totally incredible! All countries of the world have laws that say criminals can never profit financially from their crimes directly or indirectly, period.
:Name them (the laws, that is, not the countries). It would be interesting enough to add to the article, and why these laws apparently do not apply to publishing accounts of crimes. As the article notes, in many cases this is because it interferes with free speech and the public interest, which take precedence over moral outrage over a criminal receiving money for writing something that's only of value because he performed the acts described. 82.92.119.11 20:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Mudgeeraba, Queensland

message: I don't understand why Zora reversed a change by someone at 212.85.15.83. I am a resident of Mudgeeraba in Queensland and the last best reference I read (a local newspaper) did indeed state that Mudgeeraba means 'place where lies are told', or possibly 'place where liars are'.  It is certainly not vandalism to state this. 
Given what Mudgeeraba means, the above statement could present a bit of a logic puzzle :). Still it is a more pleasant meaning than the current 'place of infant’s excrement'. Which I highly doubt is a possibility and most likely is vandalism.
I doubt anyone will read this, but I will wait a short period for comments before I change the meaning to the original.
:It looks like you might both be right. If possible, provide a reference to your published source (newspaper/book/official website) for which meaning(s) you include. One option I found with Google is http://www.ucaqld.com.au/~piula/Placenames/page46.html - provides a number of possibilities, but http://www.oztourism.com.au/oztwqld.htm seems to slightly conflict with one of them. --Scott Davis Talk 12:16, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Hunt Club Road

message: Removing the "generally" and "somewhat" modifiers results in a tighter article. They don't add anything except a feeling of wishy-washy.
The speed limit information needs to be in a distinct sentence; at the very least a semi-colon should be used, rather than a comma. Adding non-breaking spaces between quantities and units is good wiki-practice, as otherwise the information could be broken between two lines.

thread_title: Cleanup

message: The article says "The finale was a version Roy Benson's Long Pour Salt. Both Benson and Kaps handling of the trick were superb. Benson used dialogue interspersed with a syncopated drum beat. Benson pretends to be bored as the salt just keeps pouring and pouring. He looks at his watch while the music acts like it’s stuck as it plays one note waiting and waiting for the salt to finish. Finally it does. Benson shows his hands empty and runs off stage."   'handling ... suberb' sounds like a point of view (which I agree with BTW) and should be referenced.  This description of FISM must have come from somewhere ... but it's not credited.Centretear (talk) 10:24, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymology 

message: "The earliest padlocks used in the United States, sometimes called smokehouse locks, were formed from wrought iron sheet and employed simple lever and ward mechanisms. The design was brought over from England. These locks afforded little protection against forced and surreptitious entry. Contemporary with the smokehouse padlocks and originating in the Slavic areas of Europe, “screw key” padlocks opened with a helical key that was threaded into the keyhole."
