Talk:Falls Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania

message: A passage should be added about the Bucks County Landfill in the Falls Township article.
After all, it is (or soon will be) the highest point on the mainland of the eastern seaboard of the United States.  It deserves to be mentioned (if not in terms of being a garbage dump, then in terms of being a unique geographical feature).
Portions of Falls Township are not "mistakenly" called Morrisville.  While not part of Morrisville Borough, the proper name for a significant part of Falls Township is, in fact, Morrisville.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.76.164 (talk) 04:23, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

message: That guy is George Washington.--Manfariel (talk) 11:05, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: picture=

message: There seems to be some inconsistencies in the identification of James McGill's spouse:
* The infobox says: "Spouse(s): Charlotte Trottier Desrivières, née Guillimin"
* The Family Life and Burnside Place section states: "In 1776, James McGill married Marie-Charlotte (1747-1818), the widow of Joseph-Amable Trottier Desrivières (1732-1771)."
* The caption for the image of a woman with the same name as the Spouse(s) portion of the infobox states: "Charlotte Trottier Desrivières (b.1723), the aunt of McGill's stepsons; daughter-in-law of Jacques Testard de Montigny"
So the caption gives a birthdate for "Charlotte" that is 24 years before the birthdate for "Marie-Charlotte".
* If "Marie-Charlotte" and "Charlotte" are the same person, then one of the birthdates is incorrect, and the text should indicate that "Marie-Charlotte" is commonly referred to as "Charlotte"
* If they are different people, then the infobox needs to be corrected and the caption for the woman's image should be aligned with some other information about the relationship of the woman in the text of the article.

Talk:James Meek (minister)

message: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (text formatting) offers this advice on the use of bolding and italics:
:Boldface is used to separate the article name from ordinary text. It is typically used in the first paragraph of an article, used with proper names and common terms for the article topic, including any synonyms and acronyms. Do this only for the first occurrence of the term; for instance, you should avoid using boldface both in the lead section and the caption of the lead image.
:Use italics, not boldface, for emphasis in article text. Use boldface in the remainder of the article only for a few special uses: Table headers, Definition lists, Volume numbers of journal articles in some bibliographic formats.
:Use italics for titles of the following:
::Books such as The Da Vinci Code 
::Films such as The Terminator 
::Foreign-language words such as kanji' 
::Periodicals (newspapers, journals, and magazines) such as Newsweek and The New York Times 
::Plays such as Much Ado About Nothing 
::....
:Italics are generally used for titles of longer works. Enclose titles of shorter works in double quotation marks, such as the following:
::Articles, essays or papers 
::Chapters of a longer work 
::Episodes of a television series 
::....
: Quotations
::It is normally incorrect to put quotations in italics. They should only be used if the material would otherwise call for italics, such as for emphasis or to indicate use of non-English words. Indicate whether italics were used in the original text or whether they were added later. For example:
Also, date fragments are not linked -- see WP:DATE.

Talk:Committee of Nine

message: I just performed a major cleanup of this article, which wasn't bad when I last edited it in January 2017, but which had major and inaccurate additions in May 2017 by an editor (Aa1817) who no longer exists on wikipedia (and not through anything I've done). Frankly, his sources should be checked, in particular the multiple references to a 2006 encyclopedia by Richard Zuczek and another published in 1991 by the same publisher. I definitely hope that it doesn't track this article's inaccuracies, since the same consortium includes Praeger, long a respected press. I'm familiar with many of the basic sources since I posted the Franklin Stearns article years ago, as well as the one concerning the Edgar Allan (that I've now correctly linked), and another about William Owen's brother, as well as edited the Alexander H.H. Stuart, Wyndham Robertson and John Brown Baldwin and several other linked articles while (unlike today) in various Virginia local history rooms.

I made two small changes. I deleted "and military bandmaster" in the first sentence because (1) being a bandmaster was not as significant an occupation for Ziehrer as being a composer, and (2) it's already mentioned in the main text. And I deleted "better" in the second sentence because the intended comparison was unclear and the word, in any case, is redundant.
