Talk:Wallington, New Jersey

message: The following section was added December 29th by :
:==Transportation==
:A small portion of Route 21 passes through Wallington.  
NOTE: This prior information MAY require some clarification, as New Jersey Route 21 currently passes through obvious sections Newark, Belleville, Nutley, Clifton, Passaic, and Paterson.  All of those municipalities are in the counties of Essex and Passaic respectively.  Wallington sits across the Passaic River to the east of the City of Passaic, and Wallington is also located in Bergen County.  None of Route 21 runs through Bergen County.
—Preceding unsigned comment added by Presented-for-the-Record (talk • contribs) 
:According to the maps I've looked at, Route 21 is indeed on the western bank of the Passaic River.  Alan, can you clarify? --ChrisRuvolo (t) 16:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. The straight-line diagram from the NJDOT at this link shows that Route 21 lies exclusively on the Essex/Passaic County side of the river, and never enters Wallington or any other part of Bergen County. Curiously, the NJ 21 article states this same factoid regarding the highway entering Wallington without crossing the river, but I don't see that as justified. Alansohn 17:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the straight line diagram, I see it.  The location is here: , but it is not obvious from this map.  The highway never crosses the river.  The odditiy is that Wallington extends to the western shore of the river.  The claim is that this is due to changing the course of the river, creating land on the western shore.  Need a reference for this, but it seems plausible.  This map agrees: . I am restoring the section.  --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding the fact that Wallington, NJ geographically extends to the west bank of the Passaic River to this day:  Please note that local government meetings have in past years mentioned the fact of "our" borough pump house on the Passaic side, just north of the Gregory Avenue Bridge next to the NJ Route 21 right shoulder on-ramp going northbound.  Additionally, please note the following information directly from the Borough website history section...  "On a more positive note, the Passaic and Saddle Rivers provided beaches that were popular gathering places, especially during the 1920s. At that time the rivers were clean and full of fish, providing enjoyment for many. During the late 1950s and mid-1960s, construction changed the course of the Passaic River in order to build a major highway, Route 21. Wallington relinquished an entire street, Scott Street, to provide for this." 
Therefore, ipso facto land adjacent to NJ Route 21 (northbound), and part of the highway itself also runs through a small portion of Bergen County.  Good local trivia question.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Presented-for-the-Record (talk • contribs) 03:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Downtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

message: I understand that it's the state capital, but the downtown isn't that noteworthy other than containing the capitol building. Maybe this should be merged with the Harrisburg, PA article. We can't make an article for the downtown of every small town in Pennsylvania, we'd also have to include other small towns with moderately built up downtowns such as Johnstown, Altoona, Wilkes-Barre, Indiana, and others of similar size. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.72.252.106 (talk) 23:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Washday at the Pa

message: My 1st edit: 
Within the first paragraph, I changed the sentence: 
"for any Māori, the living conditions were atypical" 
to:
"for any Māori, the living conditions displayed within the book were atypical" 
because it did not make grammatical sense otherwise.  In retrospect, and in the interests of objectivity, I probably should have said "portrayed" rather than "displayed".
Within the second paragraph, I changed the following sentence:
"Freed from the constraints of being published as part of the Primary School Bulletin series, Westra as the copyright holder had the book republished by the Caxton Press of Christchurch"
to:
"Westra as the copyright holder later had the book republished by the Caxton Press of Christchurch"
in order to free that sentence from the constraints of socio-political vitriol.
In the same paragraph, I deleted completely the following 2 sentences: 
"This second edition uses more colloquial language and shows taboo subjects such as children pretending to smoke. Notably, however, the photograph of the house present in the Government Printer edition was omitted" 
because the first sentence was evidently based entirely on a POV, and because the second sentence made no sense to any person unfamiliar with the subject in question, relying entirely upon the reader's assumed familiarity with that subject.
In the third and final paragraph, I deleted the only sentence constituting the aforesaid paragraph, because it was unsubstantiated by any references/citations:
"In both editions, the family used aliases and were said to live near Taihape, but in truth lived near Ruatoria."
In retrospect, it could have probably stayed, although within the context of the edited text, it's difficult to tell how relevant and/or intelligable it would be.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.157.7 (talk) 04:40, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:What Do You Care What Other People Think?

message: The claim in the last paragraph according to which Feynman diagnosed his first wife’s disease as tuberculosis and was laughed at by the doctors is inaccurate. Here is what the book actually says:
[...] I go down to the library at Princeton and look up lymphatic diseases, and find “Swelling of the Lymphatic Glands. (1) Tuberculosis of the lymphatic glands. This is very easy to diagnose...” – so I figure this isn’t what Arlene has, because the doctors are having trouble trying to figure it out.
I start reading about some other diseases: lymphodenema, lymphodenoma, Hodgkin’s disease, all kind of other things; they’re all cancers of one crazy form or another. [...]
At any rate, I read through all the lymphatic diseases and decided that the most likely possibility was that Arlene had an incurable disease.
[...]
When I got to her house, she showed me the report. It said, “Biopsy shows tuberculosis of the lymphatic gland.”
That really got me. I mean, that was the first goddamn thing on the list! I passed it by, because the book said it was easy to diagnose, and because the doctors were having so much trouble trying to figure out what it was. I assumed they had checked the obvious case. [...] Otherwise, I would have suggested it right off [...].
