Talk:National Flower of Argentina

message: I think there is no need to create an especific article to the use of Erythrina crista-galli as the Argentinian national flower. An appointment at the article about the flower is enough in my opinion.--Tonyjeff 19:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; merging this article into Erythrina crista-galli, and placing it into a subsection of it's own, would improve the organization greatly. A redirect could then be placed from this page to that one, aiding navigation. James Fleming 14:02, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Benito Martínez Abrogán

message: Benito Martínez Abrogán could be the longest lived person ever. Estimates are that he had lived for between 119-126 years.
Celebrated his birthdays on June 19th, but is not certian that that is the exact day. On that day in 2005, he declared, “I am the oldest person in the world.” Martínez claimed to have been born in 1880. He died on October 11, 2006. He said the secret to his long life was that, "he had never cheated a man or said bad things of other people."
Mr. Martínez was born near Cavaellon, Haiti and immigrated to Cuba in 1925. Cuban identity papers can confirm this. Unfortunately his age on arrival was uncertain. The Cuban government wanted to confirm his age, so they sent officials to Haiti to investigate, but they found nothing. Mr Martínez's oldest neighbours attested that he had always been the most elderly person they knew. The government concluded that Martínez was around 119.
Lived in Ciego de Ávila, Cuba. He was a labourer. Nicknamed, “El Avión” (the aeroplane) for the speed at which he worked. At one time he worked on Fidel Castro's father's ranch cutting sugar cane. He helped build the Carretera Central (Central highway). He never owned a car. He always walked, rode a bike or took the bus. Hobbies included breeding fighting cocks, growing bananas and dancing. Martínez never married, but over his lifetime had many girlfriends. 
 
He rarely over ate as food was rationed. He ate mostly starchy cassava and sweet potatoes cooked in pork fat. Only in the last twenty years of his life did he give up smoking.
His first doctor's visit was not until he was around 115. The only time he went to the hospital was a few days before he died. 
His one unfulfilled desire was to shake Fidel Castro's hand.
As of 2006 the Guinness Book of Records had not recognized Martínez's claim.

It'd be nice if we could find a link to this one outside of a paywalled one like newspapers.com.

Talk:Betty Boop for President

message: Hey Kharkless, I hate to be a stickler, but it's best not to put in speculation in an article.  If you can cite a reference somewhere (a book, a website, a DVD commentary, etc.) that says this was a Grampy prototype, that's cool.  One of Wikipedia's Five Pillars states that Wikipedia "is not the place to insert your own opinions, experiences, or arguments" (italics are mine).
Keep plugging away.  I appreciate all you efforts to expand the Betty Boop articles.Konczewski 19:21, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Federalist No. 49

message: :Since the legislative branch has many motives for operating for other departments, it is most likely to seize power from the other two branches. For instance, the delegates in the House and Senate have personal influence on the people. Therefore, the people will mostly likely side with the legislative branch in times of discord. Also, only few people partake in the other two branches, so a minute group of people personally know the delegates. More people mistrust the executive and judicial branch than the legislative and the former branches garner less popularity. This prevents people from feeling sympathy toward the two branches.

Talk:Jack Broome

message: I have reverted changes made per WP:IMOS regarding Derry, since "Londonderry" was the contemporary usage (1942), and is consistently referred to by that name throughout Broome's own books and reminiscences, and the official name for the naval establishment there (which Broome commanded briefly) was "H.M. Naval Base Londonderry". Broome made no comment on community relations or politics, his works dealt entirely with his own service and experiences. HLGallon 19:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Irish Names 

message: Per page 393o of the November, 1917 issue of The Navy List, Broome was appointed to Colossus on 6 September, 1917.  Per page 396n, Pound was appointed to the Operations Division of the Admiralty on 6 July.  That's from the official published record.  If Broome claimed that he served with Pound in Colossus, then he was wrong. --Simon Harley (Talk | Library). 20:44, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: He did, but he did also say - this is from memory, but I have the book somewhere - "He was THE CAPTAIN, a blur of gold braid.  I was a midshipman, the lowest form of sea life.  Our paths never crossed."  So he doesn't actually claim to have met or even seen him, and it's more than possible that on joining Colossus he was given an out-of-date list of officers that he never afterwards questioned.

Talk:Federalist No. 37

message: This text was added by 209.23.170.77, after the external links and categories:
:One of the problems that they faced was the cloudy medium of communication. The men could not find the accurate term to deliver the novelty of their ideas. Therefore, the indistinctness of the object, imperfection of the organ of conception, inadequateness of the vehicle of ideas troubled the establishment of an energetic and stable government. The second problem that they faced was the allocation of power amongst the three branches of the government: legislative, executive, and judicial. Never before has this type of government tested, so the men argued over the possibility of the type. The third problem was the repeated change of men. This type of government requires frequent elections, which means a frequent change in power. The fourth problem outlined in this essay was giving much power to a single man: the president. The people witnessed the corruption of one man in power, the King of England, so they doubted whether one man can preserve the orderly decorum of the country. However, two things contributed to the success of the convention: exemption of hostility between parties and the understanding that sacrificing private opinions interests are necessary for a republic.

I think that this article while short provides a benefit when referenced fro other articles, where the term "monohull" could be confusing to a novice boater.

I question why the wiki project law banner is on this page, since the article deals with fictional detectives and fantasy, and has nothing to do with the legal profession.  I also question the value of The Ghostbreakers as an external link: the site contains many inaccuracies, and their criteria for including/excluding characters is not made clear.
