Talk:Leonard Wolfson, Baron Wolfson

message: I have removed the prod tag. There are two other articles about this guy - Wolfson Baronets and Leonard Wolfson. The latter has even less information than this article and should be merged here. The former has some information and should be retained but the links all cleaned up to here. Note that the former, but not the latter has the statement, "In 1985, the current 2nd Baronet, Leonard Wolfson, was raised to the peerage as Baron Wolfson, of Marylebone in the City of Westminster" so he must be more notable than just being his father's son. --Bduke 01:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, it seems I am unaware of the WP standards for dealing with British aristocracy. Based on the table in List of Life Barons and Baronesses in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, there is in fact a separate article for the title when someone has a hereditary lordship, so it seems it would be appropriate to keep the Baronetcy article. Note: Need to verify the titles. Is he in fact "Baron Wolfson of Marylebone" but the "Baronet of St. Marylebone? It appears his peerage may be just "Lord Wolfson", as he was installed 6 years before the other Lord Wolfson (Lord Wolfson of Sunningdale) Fan1967 02:35, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:A Car Without A Name

message: This is by far one of the oddest curiosities in the automobile world that I’m aware of. The name of the vehicle is typed and listed in Wikipedia as I could find in the two sources mentioned.  I tried looking this up on the web and got nothing. But according to the automobile collection at the Detroit Public Library (which is the largest collection of automobile related literature, manuscripts and books) this is all very true and correct. The Standard Catalog of American Cars 1805-1942 has an image in it of a very non-descript looking touring car. Its author, Beverly Kimes is one of the most respected writers in her genre. 
By the way, should anyone get the bright idea to rename the article to "Car Without A Name", that first "A" is part of both sources that I listed, so it belongs at the front of the name, and all words in the non-name of the car are capitalized. Stude62 01:59, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:2000 Naka-Meguro derailment

message: I don't quite understand why the writer has focussed on the distance between the two tracks as being the cause of the accident.  The derailment of the other train was the cause of the accident, not the distance between the tracks.  A derailed train can go almost anywhere, depending on the nature of the derailment and the speed of the train.  I would imagine the Japanese Railway Accident Investigation Department, or whatever it's called, would have a different view of the accident to the writer's.

message: For example,  The first sentence has no source. It does not appear in the (nice) book of Haiduc-Dale and instead there are several references to positive connections between al-Husayni and Palestinian Christians. Abdullah is only mentioned once (p137) and not in this connection. I also object to "Muslim Palestine", a phrase not appearing in the book that acts to slant the understanding away from the more common "Arab Palestine".

Talk:Japanese National Railways

message: Under the "Criminal incidents", it states "On October 21, 1968, groups of extremist students celebrating 'International Antiwar Day' occupied and destroyed Shinjuku Station in Tokyo."  In support of this claim, there is a footnote to a book.  However, on the Shinjuku Station WP entry, under "History", it reads "The station was a major site for student protests in 1968 and 1969, the height of civil unrest in postwar Japan."  There's a bit of a difference between being "a major site for protests" and being "destroyed".

However, the Morgantown Personal Rapid Transit began operation in 1975 in Morgantown, West Virginia, USA.  The Morgantown system appears to also be a Automated guideway transit system.

replies: text: I believe both are best, as the ways readers experience and use Wikipedia are quite varied. It's useful to many readers to have a small map visible in the article. Also I don't get a "clickdown" (popup? popdown?) map on either place where there is a coordinate link on the page (browser or setting difference?), but get redirected to a page that lists links to maps on different web sights with no map on that page.

replies: text: I agree that having both alternatives is useful.  The infobox map is good for quick orientation at a glance, while sending the geo-coordinates to a separate and specialized map program allows in-depth exploration, but can be a distraction from the article for a reader who doesn't need this.  Also, I suspect that many Wikipedia readers have never made use of the geo-coordinates, and were baffled by what they got when they clicked on them.  Reify-tech (talk) 03:51, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
