Talk:Yale (disambiguation)

message: This page previously redirected to Yale, which was set up as a disambiguation page.  I have now made Yale a redirect page for Yale University, as the vast majority of links to it seem to be for the university; it also seems likely that the greatest part of people typing "Yale" in the search box would be wanting to see the article on the university.  The contents of Yale have now been copied and pasted to here. (Silverhelm 18:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirection change 

message: The link to the YALE visualization software now redirects to the Yale university page.

Talk:Adirondack chair

message: I thought the defining characteristic of an adirondack chair was that it only had front legs and rested in the back on the seat's frame. This is more significant than the wide armrests, no?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.124.70.177 (talk) 19:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  patent link tot the today's version of the adirondack/muskoka chair 

message: The way this article is currently written reads like a pamphlet from a museum rather than an encyclopedic entry. Look at paragraph 2 for an example:
:The precursor to today's Adirondack chair was designed by Thomas Lee in 1903. He was on vacation in Westport, New York, in the Adirondack Mountains, and needed outdoor chairs for his summer home. He tested the first designs on his family. After arriving at a final design for the "Westport plank chair," Lee offered it to Harry Bunnell, a carpenter friend in Westport, who was in need of a winter income.

Talk:Pokagon State Park

message: User:Bedford, your recent Indiana State Park template is not needed.  There's really not one piece of data within that template that is of much use to anyone accessing the article.  It's in Indiana?  It's a State Park?  It's silly to take up prime real estate regurgitating information contained in the article title.  It's governed by the DNR?  Of course.
And it displaces a very nice representative photo.  Moreover, you thoughtlessly <--my apologies-->created a block of white space placing the template into the article.  
There's no rule in Wikipedia that says that a template trumps all other content.  So, I am asking that you remove it.  MrHarman 01:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not the author of the lead picture, the one that the poorly designed infobox displaced, but I am one of those folks who is using dial-up.  However, the issue I raise has nothing to do with photo size so it's rather poor of you to attempt to deflect the criticism by discussing the photos and me.  MrHarman 02:27, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

text: The infobox is functional.  Could it be improved?  Of course.  But so can your attitude.  I'm looking at ways to make it better.  Which is more than you seem capable of doing.--Bedford 02:34, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would again ask that you keep the discussion focused on the infobox and not make personal attacks against me.  How is the infobox functional?  It contains no information not already contained elsewhere on the first page.  It adds nothing and takes away from a pleasing, eye-catching format with a clean image very representative of Pokagon Park.  MrHarman 02:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I am trying to make the state parks consistant with each other.  That's why they all have the same infoboxes.  The infoboxes will be improved anyways.  These are the starters.  I plan to make some kind of map to go along with them, as well as other refinements.  And you are the one making the attacks, especially since you went strsight to my talk page instead of leaving it on the Pokagon page, which is what this is all about, anyhow.--Bedford 02:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The sidebar claims an Indiana birthplace, but the first paragraph says Arizona: was he born in one and raised in the other, or what? A tweak would help. Wangoed 15:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just as a matter of policy, self published sources are not the best reliable sources. They are usually acceptable for this type of information unless it is contested. If you wish to use a source as a reference it must be added to the article as a reference. Apparently the location of JB's birth is now somehow contested. However the cited source does say Cottonwood, AZ (and has since at least April 2013). User:Daniel Sparkman's edit (here) placed his user signature into the article. So there was a reason to revert. It is policy to remain WP:CIVIL so calling an editor "FOOL" is not appropriate, especially when there were clear errors made. I suggest changing the place of birth to Cottonwood, AZ as this is what is in the cited source. - - MrBill3 (talk) 09:04, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Furthermore, the recognized title used on Terrybrooks.net for the original three novels is the Sword of Shannara Trilogy.  It was even published as a trilogy recently.  I realize that it was not originally called that when the books were written, but wouldn't that be the most official title as the official website uses it?

Talk:Lloyd C. Douglas

message: Some corrections
I'd like to correct a few points here. As the grandson of Lloyd C. Douglas, I don't want to change the actual text because of the conflict of interest, but I hope that someone else might make use of this information
I have never heard that my grandfather's original name was Doya. I suspect that this information came from a bad scan of the 1910 census report. If you put a piece of dirt between the stems of "Ll" you could get "D" and smearing the stem of the last "d" could make it an "a". His wife was Besse I. (for Io) (Porch) Douglas. Daughter Betty was also Besse Io. At least you got the name of my mother, Virginia, right.
Magnificent Obsession was far from being "an immediate and sensational success". The truth is much more interesting. The book was published, originally 3000 copies, in October 1929. In The Shape of Sunday, my mother wrote "during its first year the book's sales had been mainly to friends and parishioners of past churches." It was not until September 1931 that it appeared in "the list of the first twelve bestsellers … according to the Bookman's monthly score."

Talk:Carl Erskine

message: There is a mistake regarding Carl Erskine.
Allow me to cite a forgotten poem:
"Turn back the hands of time,
Oh where, oh where was Clem Labine,
Give me the lead that once was mine,
Let's do it all over again."
The poem was about Bobby Thompson's "The Shot Heard 'Round the World" from the Brooklyn Dodger perspective, in that Clem Labine (not Carl Erskine) was warming up in the Dodger bullpen with the ill-fated Ralph Branca. There was only enough space for two pitchers to warm-up within the cramped confines of Ebbets Field. Given that Clem was "bouncing his curve" according to the (soon to be fired) Brooklyn pitching coach, Ralph Branca got the call. Thus Carl Erskine wasn't warming up in the pen, but probably watching the game from there (which was customary).
The Clem Labine doggerel is a riff on a song Eddie Fisher popularized in 1951, Turn Back the Hands of Time, not the song Tyrone Davis sang, which is a different song with the same name.Iss246 (talk) 16:32, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
