Talk:Abeyance

message: I was hoping that someone here would have written on the pleas in abeyance particularly prevalent in Utah, wherein drivers can take Traffic School rather than receive points on their record. 134.250.72.173 00:07, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This article claims that "The only titles other than a barony that have yet gone into abeyance are the earldom of Arlington and the viscountcy of Thetford, which are united."
However that linked article states "These titles offer the one of the few examples of a peerage other than a barony falling into abeyance, another case being that of the Earldom of Cromartie in 1893."
These appear at odds. Which is correct, or am I missing something? (I'm writing this at a late hour!) – Kieran T (talk) 00:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is wrong - the Cromartie abeyance is explained at Earl of Cromartie. Opera hat (talk) 14:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That article (currently) says:  "Lord Cromartie had no sons and on his death in 1893 the titles fell into abeyance between his two surviving daughters, Lady Sibell Lilian and Lady Constance. The abeyance was terminated in 1895 in favour of the elder daughter, Sibell Lilian, who became the third Countess."  Now, unless there's a distinction between "abeyance terminated" and "called out of abeyance" that this article isn't troubling to explain, that seems to contradict the statement in this article -- or one of them, at least.  (This article gives examples of titles being "called out of abeyance" on similarly short time periods, such as:  "1481: Baron Mowbray, called out abeyance after 2 years".)  84.203.40.54 (talk) 16:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Bleacher

message: I see that another editor has added the worldwide view tag to this article. I agree; sentences like the opening, "Bleachers is a term used to describe the raised, tiered stands found by sports fields or at other spectator events in the USA" seem unduly US-centric. The term 'Bleacher seating' is commonly used in the UK to refer to the same type of retractable grandstand. However, I would agree that the term does not have the same cultural relevance in the UK.

thread_title: Beautiful animals

message: I added a citation needed tag on the translation of the tapir's name as "jungle horse".  In investigating for personal curiousity the question of why tapirs were not domesticated, I discovered that there have been some attempts by members of LDS churches to interpret tapirs as being the "horses" referred to in the Book of Mormon; this makes the exact translation important, lest it seem that wikipedia is given creedence to a religious theory in its own voice.  It also seems likely that the locals, upon learning of horses in the 15th or 16th centuries, would have adapted the word for tapir to horses, rather than the other way around.  A citation could clear this up quite quickly. siafu (talk) 17:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the prod tag from this article. I admit that this is somewhat of a borderline case, but I think it is just notable enough. Aside from being somewhat (but not totally) unique, there are a fair amount of Google hits and a couple of current news articles . Further, there are actually a few BikeShare programs beyond the one in Toronto. So it's conceivable for the article to be expanded to cover a wider range of the world. ScottW 00:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing prod 

message: I had set out to rewrite this page to focus on the general idea of bike share programs instead of just focusing on the Toronto program. However, I found that this topic is already covered in Community_bicycle_program. Further, there is also a page containing a list_of_community_bike_programs which happens to list the Toronto program discussed in this article. So, I'm proposing that some of the information from this article not already contained in list of community bike programs and Community bicycle program be merged to the list of community bike programs and then have this page redirect to Community_bicycle_program.

In the episode Speaking Proper, Bragg discusses the futility of efforts to standardise English pronunciation, such as Sheridan's attempt to educate the populace 'in the proper pronunciation of words'. These all prove to no avail, which Bragg illustrates himself by sounding the word pronunciation several times as 'pronounciation', no doubt as a satiric mispronunciation.
Cam we varify this? Many people do pronounce "pronunciation" mistakenly like that. Do we know beyond a reasonable doubt that this was intended? I don't know because I haven't seen the episode. So if anyone has, your input would be appreciated. ArdClose (talk) 22:52, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Category talk:Defunct department stores of the United States

message: In downtown Scranton, PA the major downtown department stores were the Globe (went out of business in about 1994) and Openheim's (went out of business in the 1970's).  The Globe Store was actually integrated into the Steamtown Mall.  It was one of the three anchor stores (Boscov's and Montgomery Ward were the other two anchors).
Before Walmart came to Pennsylvania, in Eynon, PA there was Sugerman's.  It was Sugarman's Eynon Drug Store, but they sold guns, tires and pianos.  The musical instruments were across the aisle from the groceries. Sugarman's sold some high quality merchandise (grandfather clocks), and some very bottom end merchandise (clothes).  You were able to haggle prices in the appliance department.  Sugarman's is not closed, and is now a massive flea market style indoor marketplace.

Paul Rose was the founder - he was sort of an entrepeneur of the genre as Sam Walton (Walmart) but not so farsighted...Anyway, the stores grew from the 30s-40s until their sharp decline in early 90s.

message: This is an odd river.  (The article does warn us that it's a "discontinuous" river.)  On "The National Map," the channel passing close to Alamo is known as "Pahranagat Creek,"  and even further south, it becomes "Pahranagat Wash."  So: it can only be said that the mouth of the White River is at the Muddy River, if you consider the White River, Pahranagat Creek, and Pahranagat Wash to be one and the same.  
Still, I can't find any map that shows the White River as being connected to Pahranagat Creek.  The National Map has the northern terminus of Pahranagat Creek here:  http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/?p=default&b=base1&x=-12825714.738230098&y=4510569.77610979&l=16

thread_title: Pronounciation

message: The example of aposiopesis given in the paragraph: "A biblical example is found in Psalm 27, verse 13. ..." is, grammatically, a good example. However, the contributor (4.247.248.235, 26 April 2006) does not inform us which bible translation or version uses the wording quoted. Various bibles render that verse in different ways, and some phrase it in such a way as to make the insertion of an aposiopesis unnecessary. This being so, many readers will not readily perceive the meaning of an aposiopeses when checking this verse in their own bible(s), —unless, of course, they are familiar with the Hebrew text of this verse.
Therefore I suggest that the source of this translation be identified if possible, or, failing that, that a quote from more suitable verse from a more readily available bible version be used. As it stands, in order for the example to be fully appreciated, the reader needs to be familiar with the process of translating Hebrew biblical texts into English.--Observer6 (talk) 11:52, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
