Talk:Waterway restoration

message: The 'completed restoration' section needs checking please. I'm sure I have missed plenty.Derek Andrews 00:19, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You sure about the grand western? They were certianly looking to (and working on) go beyond Lowdwells Lock as recently as 2005.Geni 14:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure. Either way it is hard to know how to classify a waterway like this which was partially restored many years ago and now is being extended. I should add that I am an expat and been out of the restoration loop for 20 something years, so may well have missed something. I do know that WRG have been doing some work there recently, but I got the impression this was excavation / preservation work on certain structures rather than restoration. Again, hard to know if that now pushes this waterway back to the 'under restoration' category.Derek Andrews 16:40, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Da most of the WRG work has been improvement but they cleared the section beyond Lowdwells Lock of trees in 2005 and I understand the actual lock has been dug out and they plan on getting as far as the road.Geni 17:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Preempt

message: Since in fourth seat, you can hold your loses to zero with a pass, there's no real need to open a regular preempt.  There are at least two other advantages to opening a minimum opening hand as a preempt in fourth seat.  By that I mean a hand and suit which qualifies as a preempt in any seat, but where the hand is too strong to preempt in the first three seats.
First, if you and partner agree that the hand is going to be no stronger than a minimum opener, then responder knows the HCP range, as well as the normal preempt information about your hand, immediately.  Any 1-level opener in Standard or 2/1 can be from a minimum (say 10 HCP if you open on "Rule of 20) to 20 or 21 HCP, maybe even an unbalanced 22.  This is true even after three passes.  The "limited" nature of the bid brings out the second advantage.
Second, you elect partner "Captain of the Hand", or to put it another way partner is in charge of the auction.  This would work in a similar way to the 1NT opener's partner running that auction.
Simply "barricading" the opponents, in my opinion, runs a distant third to these other two advantages.

Talk:MD Helicopters MD 600

message: I had origially intended to cover the MD 600 in the MD Helicopters MD 500 article. However, as I worked on the MD 500 page, I realized I would have 4 airspecs on one page, which seemed an excessive number to me. Moving the 600 to its own page would leave 3 airspecs, which I felt was acceptable to cover the range of variants remaining on the 500 page. This article still needs expansion, especially more pics and data on current operators. With expansion, we could avoid having to merge it back into the 500 page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - BillCJ 23:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This is descended from a template I created to attempt to explain with a few footnotes that there had been inconsistencies in spelling since the book was first published. Using the new cite.php model for citations, it just made a mess of things, so KelleyCook moved it into article space and let the few articles that were using the template point to the article instead (See the What links here link). Merging isn't a good idea because we'd be back to redundant information in multiple articles, which is where we were before I first made the template. --JohnDBuell 23:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This article is very unreliable. I'm not a Wikipedia editor, but am flagging them here to help when someone gets around to cleaning it up. Three errors:
1: Goldstine's degrees were from Hunter College and the University of Michigan, not the University of Chicago.
2: ENIAC was converted to stored program operation in 1948, not 1946, though Goldstine's personal involvement was primarily during 1947 when she led the creation of the first draft of the conversion plan and associated instruction set. After that her attention shifted to programming Hippo on behalf of Los Alamos, which eventually led her from Enac to the IBM SSEC.
3: Function tables were used for storage of a variety of parameters, constants and tables even prior to their initial use for program information.

Is there any evidence of this? The Wiki article on Beijing University claims Prince Gong founded it. Evangeline (talk) 16:43, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The already cited article "Li, L. & Wildy, D. 'A New Discovery and its Significance: The Statutory Declarations made by Sir Robert Hart concerning his Secret Domestic Life in 19th century China', Journal of the Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, 13. 2003.
contradicts most of the discussion of Hart's family in China.  Currently the article reads "In 1857 he took a Chinese concubine, Ayao, with whom he had three children and for whom he developed genuine affection and respect. After becoming Inspector-General in 1863, he proposed to marry her, knowing that his family and friends in Ireland might not accept her because she was Chinese and a non-Christian, but she died from loss of blood after giving birth to their third child in 1865. Heart broken, Hart knew the only way to avoid an arranged marriage with a Chinese royal was to find a respectable wife in Ireland during his first leave in 1866. As Ayao's dying wish, Hart brought their three children out of China, provided for them (Anna, Herbert and Arthur Hart), and found them a foster home in London."
Li and Wildy show that Hart's concubine Ayaou was still alive when he left China to find a British wife and that Hart paid her a cash settlement to obtain the three children. Ayaou subsequently married a Chinese man.
Should this sectionn of the article be changed?  I don't want to be in too much of a hurry.
