thread_title:  Dispute 

message: This is my first attempt at editing pages and discussing edits in Talk - please be kind...
The official name of this island, as cited in the USGS Geographical Names Information System (http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/) is "Seavey Island" (http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=132:3:7815036710050961::NO::P3_FID,P3_TITLE:575142%2CSeavey%20Island) It is not "a modern, lazy corruption of the name" as indicated in the revision history.   The USGS cites the following for the use of "Seavey":
U.S. Geological Survey. Geographic Names Phase I data compilation (1976-1981). 31-Dec-1981. Primarily from U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000-scale topographic maps (or 1:25K, Puerto Rico 1:20K) and from U.S. Board on Geographic Names files. In some instances, from 1:62,500 scale or 1:250,000 scale maps. 
Therefore, except for historical reference, all uses of "Seavey's" should be changed to "Seavey".  I have not made these edits as I'd like to know if there is any disagreement with this.
As an aside, is there a find/replace feature when editing to make it easier to replace Seavey's with Seavey?

Talk:JoAnn Falletta

message: I removed the text because people in Colorado can counter-argue that Marin Alsop became music director of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra in 1993, i.e. before Falletta took up her Buffalo post in 1999, and they would defend their orchestra's "major" status.  I am nowhere near either city, so I have no vested interest in this issue.  The point is that this issue will not be settled here on wikipedia and can potentially led to edit wars, because it is rather touchy.  I believe the American phrase is: "Don't go there".

Talk:Sound dosimeter

message: The name 'sound dosimeter' or the English spelling 'Sound dosemeter' is not the correct name for the device traditionally called a 'noise dosimeter'  and now formally called a PSEM. Even in the USA where acoustic terms are used rather less accurately, no serious worker in the field would call it a 'sound dosimeter'. Certainly no professional manufacturer has ever called it a 'sound dosimeter', but the logic behind the suggestion is clear as it is a variant of a sound level meter.
It measures NOISE, defined as unwanted sound and so to call it a sound dosimeter perhaps suggests it is used for sound recording etc. 
The word noise dosemeter  - or dosimeter are in several countries laws and international standards so to change 50 years of usage seems incorrect.
Given the history of acoustics, I cannot see why this change is suggested.

message: I added back restaurant list in casino info box.  The casino info box simply states restaurants and not notable restaurants.  Also, depending on your definition of notable then you could delete every restaurant list on every info box.  If (Notable) in someone's opinion is world renowned then a lot of restaurant's need to be removed from hundreds of articles.  If (Notable) means (interesting to note) which restaurants are present then restaurant list is valid.  Does anyone know if there is some tringent wikipedia policy on notable restaurant list or is this personal choice and definition.  if it's just personal choice then i would like to know other users opinions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BoldSolitude (talk • contribs) 13:45, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:USS Mettawee

message: The USS Mettawee (AOG-17) has been misnamed the USS Mattawee (AOG-17) in this article -- appears to be a typographical error.
The USS Mettawee is of some importance as she was a Class-ship.  The class has also been misnamed as Mattawee-Class instead of Mettawee-Class.
Rationale for claim of typographical error includes:
- The DANFS documents the Mettawee (AOG-17) but does not mention a ship named Mattawee.
- The DANFS claims she is named after the Mettawee river in New York, and such a river does exist near Granville in upstate New York.
- Many of the Mettawee-Class ships have been named after US rivers, and it seems logical that this naming convention was first established by naming the Class-ship after a US river.
I considered attempting to correct this error myself, but am not an experienced wikipedian and balked at the thought of change an article title, associated links, etc.
-- Jonathan Weesner 74.74.67.49 09:43, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't have much else to do today, so I made the shift.  The reasoning looks sound, DANFS lists her as Mettawee and half the article actually refers to her as Mettawee.  I corrected any occurances of Mattawee in the text, so hopefully that's the matter sorted.  I'm a Royal Navy man myself, so if there's some mistakes I've made and she is actually Mattawee, I'm happy to accept correction. Benea 10:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks good to me. I couldn't find Naval Vessel Registry records for her, but MARAD confirms the spelling "Mettawee". I did some minor cleanup on the article, and added information on the final disposition of the ship. Maralia 14:58, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Malcolm Stuart Boylan

message: With his leadership role in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and Reserves, there is every chance that Boylan could have died while in Hollywood, Florida while his work in the film industry assumes that the Hollywood in which he died was in Califonia. When a person prints the page, then there is no longer an effective link designating which Hollywood in which Boylan died. As such, it only makes sense to place the name "California" after the word "Hollywood" in the article while indicating where Boylan passed. Taram (talk) 18:10, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking that if anybody wants to unlink the word "California" in the two places where it is at on the page in order to avoid overlinking, that is fine, too.

According to the brief Grove bio, he "worked as an opera conductor ... from 1880, at the Vienna Hofoper... [In 1894] he received the title of assistant Hofkapellmeister for his work at the court opera." I feel it's safer, for now to go with that information. 86.161.252.183 (talk) 11:26, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
