Talk:Max and Paddy

message: The accuracy of this article is very questionable. Peter Kay has stated in interviews that he does not take drugs in any form, despite starring in adverts for John Smiths, a leading brand of Brittish beer.
:Well, as the article currently stands, it's libellous. The drug allegations seem highly unlikely (no pun intended) so I'll remove them. SteveRamone 00:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Pennsylvania Canal

message: I changed the Pennsylvania Canal page from a redirect to Main Line of Public Works to a stand-alone page because the Main Line of Public Works is not synonymous with Pennsylvania Canal. The Main Line is a subset of a larger system, which includes several canal divisions not on the Main Line. Finetooth 00:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Logic

message: I'm reluctant to use the available Main Line map on this page because it is misleading. It seems to show a canal running the full length of the Allegheny River and into New York, which is not correct. It doesn't show the northern two divisions of the Beaver and Erie Canal. I think it might have been a dated map of projected routes as well as actual routes. Also, it would be good to include the privately funded canals. Maybe they could be color-coded to distinguish them from the state canals. In any case, we need a better map. Perhaps I can make one. I'm not sure what's involved. Finetooth 00:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Re-reading this today, I think my criticism sounds a bit harsh. It might be fairer to say that I misinterpreted the Main Line map than to blame the map, which nicely illustrates the Main Line. Finetooth 00:58, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I decided to use the Main Line map with a brief caveat in the caption. The canals followed rivers as much as possible, partly because the river valleys were relatively flat and free of obstacles and partly because the canals needed a reliable source of water; a dry canal is useless. Thus, a map of the Pennsylvania rivers almost works as a map of the canal routes. This doesn't rule out the possibility of adding a better canal map later. Finetooth 22:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Map

message: I think it would be more correct to refer to the Portage Railroad as having "ten inclined planes" rather than "five inclines and five planes." An inclined plane (one of the classical "simple machines") is one thing, a plane on an incline, not two. (They are referred to as "planes," but this is just slang.) There were ten on the Portage Railroad, five on the eastern side and five on the western side, with a steam engine at the top of each inclined plane.

message: Why the disambiguator (527)? Is Gal, Bishop of Clermont not enough? Srnec 07:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is that there is another Gal, a saint, and also a bishop of Clermont, who, although not as notable, might someday have an article. I would really prefer it be changed if a good alternative can be found (I've seen that Catholic Encyclopedia uses "Gall I" and "Gall II", but I was unsure how I would incorporate this to the best effect). Alekjds talk 07:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright. I would think that Gal I, Bishop of Clermont and Gal II, Bishop of Clermont would be the best titles. Srnec 07:32, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kymco Venox 250

message: I wonder if there are sources to back up the statements regarding the design. Being a Venox rider I noticed that there are VERY strong similarities between the KYMCO Venox and the Honda Magna V-Twin (250cc), up to the point that the Magna tech manual can be consulted and Magna accessories and parts can be used. What I heard before (sorry, no reliable source, but I am living in Taiwan) was that Venox is a Magna V-Twin copy with a locally developed engine. So I just wonder where the design info in the article comes from, as this is the first time I heard of German involvement...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dl7und (talk • contribs) 14:01, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Canal Street (Manhattan)

message: My knowledge is inadequate to add to the existing text, but perhaps a mention should be made of the electronics surplus stores that were common along the western end of Canal St. until 1986 or so, and maybe later. They probably got their start after WW II, selling war surplus. They were a delight to electronic technical enthusiasts; to some of us, "Canal St." was a magic name. In particular, I remember Lew Kates, a particularly generous-spirited and kind proprietor; iirc, his wife was in show business. His policy on shoplifting was, "Don't. If you want something, but can't afford it, ask me." Nikevich (talk) 00:25, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

message: One of the sentences of the "History" section previously read:

Since the two names refer to the same pond, I think they ought to be connected by something other than a comma. I counted four commas in the first half of the sentence alone, so I think it can be changed a little to avoid triteness. Epic Genius (talk) 00:14, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Matthew Dent (footballer)

message: It's a matter of public record that the Fitzroy Football Club still plays in its own right, albeit not in the AFL - now in the VAFA - and is not a part of the Brisbane Lions. Hence any claim that Fitzroy no longer competes as a club and somehow merged with Brisbane is not true and shouldn't be posted as such in Wikipedia articles like this one.
What is true is that Brisbane took over the AFL operations. As detailed by Fitzroy on the club's website (http://www.fitzroyfc.com.au), and within Wikipedia itself for a long time now in the entry about the Fitzroy Football Club (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzroy_Football_Club). And both the club website and that Wikipedia entry clearly show that Fitzroy still exist and compete as a club on the field.
To reiterate, since Fitzroy still exists as a club, both on and off the field, and since the club clearly states that it was the AFL operations absorbed into Brisbane, not the club itself, it's self-evident that there was no merger.

message: The Republic of Zamboanga was not a sovereign republic. It was an insurgent revolutionary government. I have made a WP:BOLD edit to the article to that effect.
The revolutionary government which is the topic of this article, like other short-lived insurgent revolutionary governments in the Philippines around the time of the Spanish-American War and the transfer of sovereignty over the Philippines from Spain to the United States via the 1898 Treaty of Paris. Things around that time were complicated by the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Revolution, the Philippine-American War, and local revolutions like the one in Zamboanga, but none of the revolutionary governments which grew out of those local revolutions matured into sovereign states.
