Talk:The Slickers

message: Sleevenotes by John Hillarby to John Martyn's "Ain't No Saint" compilation suggest that the makeup of the Slickers at the time Johnny Too Bad was written was:
Hylton Beckford;
Derrick Crooks;
Shadow - listed by Allmusic as the stage name of Winston Bailey;
Delroy Wilson;
Other John Martyn recordings of this song are credited to variously The Slickers or Beckford/Crooks. Soarhead77 (talk) 11:33, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Like millions of others, I bought the soundtrack album years before I could find a place to watch the movie. It was probably after Bob Marley broke big worldwide, especially in the US, before the movie got viewings in small independent theatres. The movie is great but the album is fantastic, imho.  (Rockers was the same, heard and bought the album before seeing the movie). There are many more covers of JTB on albums, as singles, and lots of bands played it live regularly.  Example, John Martyn was a gifted songwriter with a few great albums, but his most famous and most radio-played songs and constants in his live shows.were various versions of him covering JTB and Over the Rainbow. I saw him one time when he was so drunk, he fell off the ( at least small and low) stage while riffing madly on JTB. Thoughts? SmarterAlec (talk) 01:24, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Francis Jr.

message: In the Infobox, the line "Doctoral students = Jonas Salk" is in error.  In 1942, after getting his MD and then doing an internship, Salk came to work in the lab of Dr. Francis.  Salk, himself, is quoted as saying: "After my internship, in '42, I went to Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was there until '47, then went on to Pittsburgh, to be somewhat independent of my mentor [Dr Francis]." http://achievement.org/autodoc/page/sal0int-3
I considered changing the line to:
"postdoctoral student = Jonas Salk" but Salk was not a student.  PhDs often (these days) do postdoctoral fellowships, but Salk was an MD and he specifically says that he was not trained to be a virologist; and so changing the line to "postdoctoral fellow = Jonas Salk" probably wouldn't be exactly correct either, but either that or, more accurate, something like "mentor of = Jonas Salkhttp://achievement.org/autodoc/page/sal0int-3"
would perhaps be acceptable.
My taking such an action is blocked. Since the line is clearly in error and thus must be changed, someone more privileged will have to do it.--Wikifan2744 (talk) 23:13, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
Talk:Manoel Beckman

message: Hi, I am interested in Manoel Beckmann.
As I am a German native speaker I write the name with double-n.
Two questions:
Is there any evidence that he was really jewish? The german name
is not, and Jewish people were expelled or christianized by force
in Portugal by the Spanish Inquisation. Maybe his mother was of jewish origine.
The figure appeared to my knowledge about 30 years ago and he was always referred to
as a German in both brazilian and german sources.
Secondly, the linked article of "Journal Pequeno" seems to be extremly onesided.
Never heard of free labor in 17th century Maranhão. 
I speak Portuguese and I am interested in further examination.

thread_title: Articles for Deletion debate

message: Ido's lu and li are not only pan-gendered, but "universal", meaning they apply also to objects, like the English "it". According to the Novial Lexike (1930), Novial's le does not include the English "it". According to An International Auxiliary Language (1928), lum is isolated from le, indicating that one is not included in the other. My conclusion is this: les in Novial is the equivalent of the "universal" li in Ido, while le has no equivalent in Ido, since le does not include lum while lu includes olu.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheLazyDog (talk • contribs) 19:00, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

The strike caused widespread power cuts in states that were dependent on coal to generate electricity.  Street lights were turned off at night.  I was a Purdue student at the time, and Purdue extended spring break to three weeks to save power.  However, the strike was settled during spring break and the students "lost" the extra two weeks.

Talk:Telcontar

message: The article here reveals that there was a company named Telcontar, now deCarta, that interprets NAVTEQ's data and serves it to Google Maps, and maps programs for Yahoo.com and Ask.com.  Its patented techniques are the reason these map applets are so fast.  Considering all this, we should turn this redirect page into a disambiguation page, with two items:
#Telcontar is another name for the Lord of the Rings character Aragorn.
#Telcontar was the previous name of deCarta, a company which serves mapping data to Google Maps, Yahoo.com Maps, and various other clients.
I'm a Wiki newbie on redirects and disambigs, so over the upcoming week I'll check the wikihelp on how to do this.  In the meantime, others are free to do so.  Also, someone should write a deCarta article; as of this day it's redlinked.  --205.201.141.146 17:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Talk:CHS Inc.

message: CHSCP is the stock symbol for a preferred stock issued by CHS, Inc. CHSCO is the stock symbol for another preferred stock issued by CHS, Inc. CHS itself has no stock symbol, because it is owned by its cooperative participants and not by stockholders. The CHSCP prospectus states: "As a cooperative, we are owned by farmers and ranchers and their local cooperatives". The prospectus also says "The preferred stock is ... non-voting except in certain limited circumstances." Thus the first sentence is wrong to say "CHS Inc. is a Fortune 100 business owned by United States agricultural cooperatives, farmers, ranchers and thousands of preferred stock holders ..." because like most preferred stockholders, CHSCP and CHSCO owners don't ordinarily vote, and thus can't be said to own the company. Also, the infobox is wrong to say that CHS, Inc. trades as CHSCP. CHSCP is one of the preferred stocks, not CHS, Inc. itself, which doesn't trade because it's a cooperative. 98.247.55.21 (talk) 06:45, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Does a single sentence really need it's own page???
I am seriously questioning either her role in 'Flash Gordon' or her date of birth.  IMDB lists her as the role of Hedonia in 'Flash Gordon'. Hedonia was an adult concubine of Ming - remember the scene where she gave Dale Arden the potion to make sex with Ming more tolerable. Assuming that Bobbie was born in 1969, and assuming that the movie was made in 1979 for a 1980 release, she would have been 10 or 11 at the time of filming. So something's not making sense there. Additional, although it has been many years since I saw the movie, I somehow remember Hedonia being dark and exotic, not blonde and American.

The A78 bypass makes it difficult to follow the track beds, however, the L&A line can be seen heading toward the west side of the triangle of lines from the A78. I have not been able to deduce were the crossing of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway took place between Dubbs Junction and Kilwinning station.

The 1910 1:10,560 OS Map clears up the confusion slightly, you can view it via Oldmaps.co.uk [] (search for Kilwinning, choose the map down the right hand side and click "Enhanced Zoom" to see a very clear version of it). It seems there was a Blacklands Junction between Dubbs and Byrehill Junctions, this is where the Doura branch started: the branch line keeps going east under the GPK&AR just at the point where the Dubbs-Byrehill line starts to go south to Byrehill from Dubbs. Just on the opposite side of the GPK&A was Eglinton Iron Works, which the line travelled through. From a quick look on Google Maps it looks like the tunnel under the GPK&A line still exists, just north of Byrehill Junction. The route of the rest of the branch line is still visible to the east of here once you get over the industrial estate. Slightly further north from the tunnel on the Kilwinning-Irvine line there was a another junction that lead into the Iron Works and presumably connected to the Doura branch as well. There doesn't appear to be an direct connection to any of the L&A lines, though it travelled under the L&A Irvine branch. - Dreamer 84 12:28, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
