Talk:Colossal Cavern

message: I know this cave first-hand, having been in it. The text as it existed before I added to it yesterday is good text to have. It needs to be put in context. The citation indicates that much of the text came from Horace Carter Hovey (1883-ish) quoted in the Encyclopedia Britannica of 1911. That is good, and I am glad someone did that, but there is much more that can be added to this article, as the history of Colossal Cave did not end, and is, indeed, still going on. I have added names and dates of recent (20th century) discoveries, and included a book citation to the standard reference work on the subject, the book, "The Longest Cave" by Brucker and Watson. I am also aware of the connection between Colossal Cave and the first computer text adventure game by Crowther and Woods. The fact that this cave lives at the informational intersection between computer simulation games and an actual cave leads me to think that this article should maintain its independent existence.
The Hovey source already included, since it is squarely in the public domain, should be enhanced by references by introduction and citation inline: the reference cited (Horace Carter Hovey, a late 19th century Methodist minister and cave fanatic) is worthy of being expanded so it can be read inline, hopefully inspiring other wikipedians to further wikify the article, and perhaps expound on the life and works of Horace Carter Hovey, important 19th century American cave writer.

Talk:Adinath Sampradaya

message: I have removed the tag for more secondary sources after adding a few myself and looking into the subject at great depth. I have interviewed people who knew Shri Gurudev Mahendranath and have scoured the research library also. The Adinath Sampradaya is listed and now has cited secondary sources in the article. While there are more sources related to the cult's existence, there is no more information that I can find about the details of the cult or cults having the same name. The name Adinath or Adi Nath is associated with both the Jains and Hindus.
It is not surprising that a small sect of world renouncing Avadhuts failed to make more of a splash in books and publications. -Vritti (talk) 07:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Hardknott Roman Fort

message: Wheres the evidence that the "proper name" is Mediobogdum ? The Ordnance Survey's 1:25 000 map names it as Hardknott Castle Roman Fort as do all guide books.

replies: text: Mediobogdum is the name the Romans knew it by.  The Ravenna Comsmology refers to a fort called Mediobogdum between the forts of Galava (Ambleside) and Glannoventa (Ravenglass).  "Hardknott Fort" is the only one which fits the bill. Lianachan 22:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Nekketsu Saikyō Go-Saurer

message: Need confirmation that the romanized name of this show is officially spelled "Gozaurer" and not "Gosaurer"; So far, I have only seen "Gosaurer" in material as the official name. (Heck, even the name of the ED theme artists seems to point to this being the case.)
If I don't see any hard data in romanized material that this show is called "Gozaurer" within about a week (ANN—which uses straight romaji and ignores official romanizations for obscure shows a fair bit of the time—doesn't count in my view), a move proposal will be filed.

Talk:Abraham Darby III

message: Who was his mother? Here one can read about A. Derby III that he was “the eldest son of Abraham Darby II (1711–1763) and his second wife, Abiah (née Maude) Darby”. But here the same one can read about A. Derby III’s father the following “He had married twice: firstly Margaret Smith (died 1740), with whom he had three children including Abraham Darby III, and secondly the Quaker minister Abiah Maude, with whom he had a further six children.” (It is meaning Margaret Smith but not Abiah Maudewas was his mother).    
Well, who was A. Derby III's mother, Abiah (née Maude) Darby or Margaret Smith? 
Is anybody here who can answer my question? 
I surmise Abiah Maude was his mother.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blast furnace chip worker (talk • contribs) 16:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have amended the article on Abraham Darby II, which was wrong.  Both A. Raistrick, Dynasty of Ironfounders, p.3 and B. Trinder, The Darbys of Coalbrookdale, p.35 contain family trees that make Abiah the mother of Abrham III.  I have not added a citation of these as they each only show 4 or 5 children, not 9.

Talk:Carl Jaenisch

message: I have corrected the article to give Jaenisch's middle name as "Ferdinand", instead of "Friedrich".  Besides the genealogical research I cited, and the scholarship fund I cited, two additional sources support "Ferdinand", but it was cumbersome to cite them as they were in non-English sources:
:http://www.e3e5.com/article.php?id=1546 (Russian) -- the author cites the birth/baptism record for Jaenisch in the Lutheran Church of Vyborg.
:http://quilmesescueladeajedrez.blogspot.com/2009/07/carl-jaenisch-el-didacta.html (Spanish) -- the author cites the registry for Jaenisch in the Volkov cemetery of St. Petersburg, where he is buried.
Of course, many sources, including (for example) Hooper and Whyld's Oxford Companion to Chess, give "Friedrich".  The first appearance of this middle name in print that I have found is the obituary that I cited.  I do not know why the name given in this obituary differs from the name given in the baptism record, the cemetery record, and the scholarship fund record.
I have removed the discussion of the alternative spelling Ениш.  From Jaenisch's writings it is clear enough how he spelled his name in the Russian Cyrillic alphabet.  I know of no reason to think that he (or his family) ever considered alternative spellings.
Андреевич (Andreyevich) is his patronymic, i.e. it indicates the given name of his father.  It is not a "middle name" in the sense used in Western European languages.  Bruce leverett (talk) 13:17, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Jaguar S-Type (1963)

message: The S type shared the entire centre monocoque unit with the Mk II, not just the bonnet. Doors, roof, and all glass were identical to the Mk II as was the interior apart from small cosmetic changes.
For its new rear suspension the S type needed an extended sub frame and this made it heavier and therefore slower than the Mk II, any improvement in handling was marginal although the ride was softer.

thread_title:  Commonality with Mk II 

message: "A very few of the last S-Types built had the same Marles Varamatic Bendix power steering that was available on the 420. Built by Adwest in Reading, the Varamatic steering provided reduced assistance about the straight-ahead position to give a more positive feel to the steering"
This I am sure is incorrect. The Adwest varamatic had variable ratio, not variable power. DesmondW (talk) 17:15, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The comment is misleading and incorrect; variable power steering systems reduce assistance at speed, any variation in a variable ratio system is incidental. The two are quite different, there are many variable ratio systems but few variable power. In any case, the effective power in a variable ratio system will be *increased* when straight ahead because of the reduced ratio. DesmondW (talk) 16:38, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
