replies: text:  This change is very trivial. It only requires finding “as well as being” and replacing it with “and”. I’m familiar enough with template syntax to verify this.

Possible film candidates:
The Doctor (1991) http://imdb.com/title/tt0101746/  
Plot Summary: 
Jack McKee is a doctor diagnosed with throat cancer. Now that he has seen medicine, hospitals, and doctors from a patient's perspective, he realises that there is more to being a doctor than surgery and prescriptions.  This movie is based on the real life story of Edward Rosenbaum, MD, who wrote an autobiography of his experience entitled "A Taste of My Own Medicine: When the Doctor Becomes the Patient".  This book/movie is used in some medical school curriculums to sensitize medical students to being patients.
Patch Adams (1998) http://imdb.com/title/tt0101746/
The Hospital (1971) http://imdb.com/title/tt0067217/

Talk:Hahndorf, South Australia

message: I have two conflicting sources, the first saying that the settlers are from Prussia and the second, more trustworthy, stating Germany. In either case they agree that they were Lutherans. For now I will leave it as Prussia as it is possible that they confused borders as Prussia is now a part of Germany after WWII afaik. Either way, be sure to mention this in the articles if this is the case. Avochelm 13:31, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have confirmed this is Prussia, because Altona, Hamburg was a Part of Prussia when this article is relevent. By reading the article on Prussia, it appears Prussia somehow merged into Germany. Avochelm 05:24, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have further confirmed this with a quote from Captain Hahn's narrative of the voyage saying that "they had to emigrate from Prussia because of their faith". But I am still unclear about the whole of Hamburg being a part of Prussia. See the Groß-Hamburg-Gesetz. --Avochelm 07:45, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

text: I think it's best to keep it historically accurate. The Hahdorf settlers were fleeing what they called "religious persecution" at the hands of the King Frederick William III of Prussia. I have written about this in an article Prussian Union (Evangelical Christian Church). Because the people were specifically fleeing a Prussian leader, NOT a German leader, I think it is significant to use the reference Prussian as opposed to German to their heritage. As for the town itself, in current usage the town is refered to as a German town, and its heritage as German, as opposed to Prussian town or Prussian heritage.SauliH 15:54, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hamburg was never part of Prussia (in 1838 it was an independent and sovereign country, just like Prussia, France, or the US), and Altona was only the departure port. But I don't think it's very important to differ the German heritage from Prussian heritage. Sebastian scha. (talk) 21:38, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  From Prussia or Germany? 

message: As I read the article, it appears to be too chopped up. The heading Culture is not helpful to the content. Also stating that Hahndorf is very multicultural is pushing the definition of the word also.

Tourism would be more pertinant to the town.SauliH 16:04, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: It's a somewhat unresolved matter whether a pie has to have a closed pastry top, whereas a tart typically is smaller with an open top. From the list of pies, tarts, and flans, the image for pecan pie isn't the best among those available on Wikimedia Commons, from which all Wikipedia images are obtained. The image of the pie/tart currrently in the article really is the best one there, imo, and the contributor providing it in 2010 called the file "pecan pie". In my experience of favoring pecan pie for several decades, I haven't seen one with a closed top, presumably because the pecans are featured artfully in the pie presentation.

References here give very little information as to what makes a particle "exotic" as opposed to regular.

It sounds like "h" in most words, it is transliterated as "h" in all the Slavic languages with roman alphabet and, to make things worse, "kh" is usually pronounced as "k", which sounds much different.

message: This article currently reads far too much like a Russian POV. I just finished reading Great Catherine, a detailed and largely complementary history on Catherine the Great, written by Carolly Erickson, a respected author of many biographies of European rulers. Its take on this war was that Catherine effectively provoked it as part of her desire to expand Russian borders and influence. I have no doubt the the Ottomans truly desired to retake their lost territory, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of the unflattering statements about the Turks are accurate, but both sides of this conflict need to be described, probably with a bit less inflammatory verbiage. — Jeff Q (talk) 18:25, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
