Talk:Al Haig

message: I'm not entirely sure why  is intent on adding the sentence casting doubt on Haig's story; the fact is that he was acquitted of his wife's murder.  We are in no position to say that there are reasons to think that he was guilty, or even to imply it; the very most that we should do is add a reference to the book (though it's not clear to me that even that is warranted). --Mel Etitis  (Talk) 21:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear Mr. Etitis:  Why are you trying to hide this?  There is evidence in the book.  If you think it is controversial, just edit my text to state that the statement is controversial.  I suggest your read the book before you delete the statment and the reference. Zeamays 00:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

text: If you continue to add this libellous material, I shall take steps to have you blocked from editing.  I'm taking it up with other admins in any case.  Also, look at what "personal abuse" measn; it's not confined to name calling. --Mel Etitis  (Talk) 22:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

text: What exactly does the book say? What evidence does it cite? I consider it unencyclopedic to say something like "there are reasons to believe that his version of story is not correct." That sounds like we're endorsing Rutan's theory, which violates WP:NPOV. Instead, if this is indeed a reliable source, the article should say something like "In Death of a Bebop Wife, G. Rutan has disputed Haig's account, claiming x and y," where x and y are the specific claims and/or evidence in question. For what it's worth, the estates of dead people can't sue for libel in the United States. Regardless, we need to make sure that the edits meet Wikipedia standards. *** Crotalus *** 23:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tundro

message: You wouldn't categorize Spider-Man under the Superheroes entry, nor would you categorize Albert Einstein under the Humans entry. Therefore, Tundro needs to stay as a separate entry. 
Thanks!
Sean
I'm okay with Tundro having his own article, but only if the rest of the Herculoids get one too. This way, Tundro seems more notable than the others, which I'm pretty sure is not the case.
* Actually, you would put Spiderman in the Superhero Category.  Now, you wouldn't describe him only in the Superhero article, b/c there is a substantial amount of information on him.  This article already has just about everything that belongs in an encyclopedia article, and it's hardly (if at all) longer than the character blurbs you'll find in many other TV series articles.  Besides that, as pointed out above, none of the other characters have their own articles.  There's really no good reason to have a separate article for Tundro, and several good reasons to merge into the main series page. Mdotley 16:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Charles Stirling

message: Charles Stirling was my 3 x great grandfather. This article was originally taken from my post in the Clan Stirling website dated August 20, 2002 (one of several posted that date), and had a link citing it. It has subsequently been edited and documented to Pamela Statham-Drew's book on Sir James Stirling, Charles's nephew. The book I cited, The Stirlings of Cadder is listed as a work not consulted, presumably because it is a rare book and none of the WikiProject Biography editors have seen a copy. I do have a copy, and would be happy to provide a photocopy of the title page and the pages on Charles, if that would be helpful (and if I could figure out how to do it).
The main thing that concerns me is the picture. You have no documentation whatsoever for the picture, which originally came from the Clan Stirling site cited above. You have no way of knowing that it is Charles Stirling. I believe it is him, because the photo I have (which I scanned and uploaded to Clan Stirling) has my great-grandmother's writing on the back saying "For Nina - Her Great-Grandfather Stirling Admiral Charles Stirling. Taken from a painting probably in the possession of Grote Stirling, M.P. Kelowna, B.C." Nina was my grandmother, Nina Stirling Freeman. I have never seen the original painting, nor have I been able to discover anyone who has or what has become of it. The image I uploaded is cropped, and I could, if you like, provide the full image.

thread_title: Replica?

message: I renamed this article from "Guilty Chinese Scholartree" to "Zuihuai" because there is no common English translation of the Chinese name, and the previous name was just a somewhat awkward-sounding invention of the editor who created the article. Difference engine (talk) 18:39, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Renamed 

message: From what I can tell, the tree was replaced by a different one of the same species in 1981. The only sources I've seen that discuss the tree's destruction in the Cultural Revolution and its subsequent replacement are travel guidebooks, forums, and a couple of obscure Chinese-language texts on Google Books. Nothing really definitive. There is far more information relating to the stories of the emperor's suicide, so I'll be focusing on those elements as I expand the article. --Difference engine (talk) 19:37, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Caza 

message: I recently merged in Kaza to Qadaa, but upon reflection, it might make more sense to put the merged article under "Kaza", which is the more common English term (not transliteration)--though some news from Iraq uses the spelling Qadaa now.  The form qadaa is closer to a transliteration (though a better transliteration would be qaḍāʾ). --Macrakis 18:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Qadaa vs. Kaza

message: This page is the result of a merge from two pages, Kaza and Qadaa. The merger was first performed by copying material from Kaza into Qadaa (). I am now moving the resulting article back here, to Kaza, as per the uncontroversial move request above, and merging the two talk pages. As the edit histories of both articles have large temporal overlap, I am not doing a merger of page histories; instead, I am moving the old Kaza page, with its history, to Talk:Kaza/Archived article.

message: Have a look at travelocity.com. You will not see any flights from LAX to YVR that take only two hours. The range seems to be from about 2 hours 42 minutes up to 2 hours 57 minutes. Southbound, it can take even longer than that. --Mathew5000 11:43, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You are misremembering. The LAX-YVR flight has never been scheduled at two hours. The Boeing 747 has a cruising speed of 650 mph but of course it takes a while to get up to cruising speed and then a while to come back down. And that's just a 747; most commercial aircraft have a cruising speed much less than that, around 500-550 mph.

Talk:George Churchill (Royal Navy officer)

message: The list of ships in which George Churchill served as lieutenant is erratic and misses out several commissions, and his actual service record was much more consistent than is implied in the article, particularly in the sentences "It is difficult to believe that these appointments involved active service. If Churchill had really served, or wished to serve, afloat, there can be little question but that, with his brother's court interest, his promotion would have been very much more rapid.". He clearly did serve most of the Restoration period afloat. I have inserted the missing vessels and appropriate dates. Rif Winfield (talk) 10:14, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Foley (Royal Navy officer)

message: I renamed to Thomas Foley (sailor) from the over-done "Royal Navy admiral" Dabn suffix, without realizing there was a Rdr using the suffix "admiral". But i do not regret it: my reading of his bio is that he distinguished himself at lower ranks, and that his admiralty turned out to be an essentially honorary position; the admiral sfx may actually interfere with navigation by leading readers to ignore him bcz they know of only his lower ranks. Like many editors, i lean toward appositives like "sailor" and "admiral" over contexts like "navy", but contexts are explicitly endorsed, and i have no objection to "navy" is someone prefers that over "sailor".--Jerzy•t 23:43, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
