Talk:North Rona

message: What a wonderful place.  It's been really interesting to research and write about North Rona so far and I'm glad so many people want to know about it.  I've never been (and maybe never be there) but I'd value any stories, photos and other useful information that you can contribute so that it's better known and looked after. Please keep the conversation positive :) Gecko177 (talk) 11:35, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title: Thanks!

message: The story of the rats and how the whole population died within a year is given by Fraser-Darling without attibution, but is in fact based on Martin Martin's retelling of what he was told secondhand. See the link on the Martin page for the original text. However, the story does seem to be based on a number of assumptions. Since everyone died and unlike the Flannens mystery the population would have been illiterate and left no written record of their suffering. --JBellis 21:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Godwhale

message: I read this decades ago, and keep recalling a helmet used by a nebish when he is assigned to guard the crops from Benthic savages. The helmet was called something like a "Pelger-Hewit" helmet, and gave him mental clarity, augmented senses, and tied into his neurology enough to also improve his coordination and reflex speed. I'd like this described in as much detail as possible, and also to have the tech in the whale gone into. The AI is the last thing to get into, as so much AI info is already very available. 2603:9000:BA12:2200:90F9:C854:CA01:305 (talk) 21:46, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  NPOV 

message: Removed the following section:
"For the average driver, it is worth knowing some facts relating to such parking "schemes".  Such schemes are often a false, and probably illegal, impersonation of procedures and powers applicable to official Traffic Wardens, which the attendants clearly are not.  It is not unusual for "Parking Charge Notices" to be given out wrongly and in a rather upstartish manner, yet the matter is dealt with in a carbon copy way of what you would expect from a ticket issued by a Traffic Warden.  For the unwary, do not ignore such "notices", but rest assured that these people have no authority to hand out "fines" or anything of the kind. The charges are levied because of a breach of civil law, ie an implied agreement with terms and conditions.  One Tesco in particular declare that these charges are indeed fines, which they are not.  It is also interesting to note that the website for paying such charges is www.payfine.co.uk, which misleads one into thinking that the charge is not a charge but a fine, which again it is not.  If it were a fine they would say so. Note that they don't actually say this, instead using various tactics and gimmicks to fool people into thinking it.  However, in spite of understandable consternation, these parking schemes do have SOME basis in law, and it would be best to contest them if you object to the particular "ticket" you have been given.  Otherwise you may well be found liable by a court and ordered to pay, thus leaving yourself out of pocket and adding to the arrogance of outfits who operate such schemes."
This doesn't appear to be specific to Silverburn, and might be better placed in the "Legal issues" section of the Parking lot article. Jxan3000 (talk) 16:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I love this sort of detail, and I wish more Wikipedia articles include things like this. Pronunciations, usage, and common parlance are sorely lacking in Wikipedia in general.

Talk:Praktiker

message: The section on the Hungarian stores is out of date and/or has incorrect information.
The up to date situation in Hungary is noted on praktiker.hu and it doesn't match the info in the article. I din't want to edit because I don't know anything about the previous sale mentioned in the article, but the Hungarian website mentions 20 stores (not 19 as in the article) and a different owner (Wallis as opposed to Papag). See here: https://www.praktiker.hu/esztergom
The relevant part of the article in Hungarian:
A gazdasági válság és más tényezők hatására 2013 júliusában, Hamburgban bejelentette a Praktiker, hogy fizetésképtelenné vált. A konszern egyes leányvállalatait az ezt követő időszakban értékesítették. A magyar áruházakat 2016-ban a Wallis Asset Management Zrt. vásárolta meg, amely úgy döntött, hogy az üzleteket továbbra is Praktiker márkanév alatt működteti. Magyarországon 20 áruházat működtet és közel 1200 munkavállalót foglalkoztat.

message: The moving of the article to “Deutscher Aktien indeX (DAX)” is clearly unjustified and wrong. The proper name is “DAX”, and there is more than one German stock index.

Talk:Westdeutsche Landesbank AG

message: I removed the adjective "Universal" from the description as it seems to be a local phrase for "Full Service", i.e. offering a full range of products and services. I believe that most non-Germans would, like myself, find it meaningless. When juxtaposed with the geographic location of the bank it becomes rather comic, implying a universal presence, rather than a wide range of services. The balance sheet figures could do with updating following the recent write downs. --SlipperyJim (talk) 12:42, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Saint Mary's Church, Hamilton Village

message: I would propose moving this article to to St. Mary's Church, Hamilton Village, Philadelphia. The preferred format for naming articles on Episcopal churches in the United States is to add city, state after the name. This would be too long and Philadelphia, being a major city, can stand on its own without the state name. Hamilton Village, though, is not as well known and needs some further identification. Also St. is preferred because of its brevity. Consideration is also made of which form the church itself uses. In this case the church itself uses both forms on its website. Please comment. clariosophic (talk) 13:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would mildly oppose the move.  While the Saint/St. issue is not particularly interesting--either way is fine--I think that unless we get too much ambiguity (are there other churches called "St. Mary's, Hamilton Village"?  If not, no ambiguity), there is no need to add the "Philadelphia" to the name.  Anyone who clicks on the article can learn that Hamilton Village is in Philadelphia--there is a bit of information in either West Philadelphia or the article on the pre-annexation borough or whatever about Hamilton Village.  If people are interested in churches in Philadelphia in general, or in West Philadelphia in particular, then using categories would be the best way to locate the article.  Because there are several St. Mary's churches in Philadelphia, the name of the city--even when accompanied by the denomination--is not a unique way to identify the church, which is the reason that the city name is added in most cases.  We are not complying with rules (such as "add the city name") for the sake of the rules, but for the reason that the rules were passed, and when the reason does not apply, an exception to the rules should be made.--Bhuck (talk) 09:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:John Dehner

message: That is a fascinating story about Mr. Dehner and his, perhaps, lack of employment between gigs as a character actor. I just watched an old episode of "Rawhide" wherein he was the prominent guest star. As I looked up Mr. Dehner's biography on Wikipedia, I noted to my neice that Dehner must have earned really good money in his lifetime because he seemed to appear in so many television and occasional film roles. The suggestion that this talented man who brought so much joy to so many viewers would have been forced to search for other employment between jobs tells volumes about Hollywood and their opinions of who is valuable.
I hope his trip to an employment agency was a guise for a more lucrative endeavor.
I think the article should mention his turn in the Twilight Zone episode, "Mr. Garrity and the Graves".Ron (talk) 00:58, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
