Talk:Isaac C. Kidd

message: What does "At his first knowledge of the attack, he rushed to the bridge of USS Arizona, his flagship, and "courageously discharged his duties as Senior Officer Present Afloat until the Arizona blew up from a magazine explosion and a direct bomb hit on the bridge which resulted in the loss of his life."" actually mean? And what strange langauage is it in?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 09:47, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't be confused. It basically says "He went to his duty station and got killed there." The guy was a Rear Admiral in 1945, which meant he came from an incredibly well connected old-money East Coast family and had many powerful friends in Annapolis, Congress and the War Department. He also happened to have the good fortune to get killed on the one ship that blew up catastrophically on camera and ended up becoming the enduring national symbol for the attack. They also gave the MOH the Captain of the Arizona, Franklin van Valkenburgh, another well-connected Annapolis man who did nothing but die on the bridge. In a nutshell, they got the Medal of Honor as a kneejerk political gesture from a shocked and hysterically emotional nation. The other 1,175 peons got a Purple Heart and an empty, weighted casket for their families. Kind of ironic when you consider that post-war analysts concluded that the most likely explanation for the magazine explosion was improperly stored black powder or an unsecured hatch, both of which could only have taken place on Valkenburgh and Kidd's watch. 67.246.15.91 (talk) 22:44, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Kentucky (Adair County to Estill County)

message: When listed by the National Register of Historic Places, it was in its original location near Eriline; but in Dec 1994 the rock detached and crashed down onto Highway 66. Two days later it was moved to Manchester, where it is now under a shed in a park about 200 yards from City Hall and where I saw and photographed it last month. It is locally known as the "Marked Rock" of Manchester. 24.148.19.254 10:12, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: It is largely irrelevant for Wikipedia’s purposes how the title is capitalized on the album cover. If an album title was written all in capitals on the cover, you wouldn't have the Wiki article named all in capitals, that would be ridiculous...and it's the same with other capitalization idiosyncrasies too. Wikipedia has very definite rules concerning article formatting and capitalization, as laid out at WP:MUSIC, WP:TITLE, and at WP:MUSTARD (among other places). As such, I have moved this article back to the properly capitalized namespace to comply with Wikipedia naming conventions. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 00:36, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Administrative divisions of Moscow Oblast

message: i am strongly again of using okato... like with moscow it is not common rule and people mostly use local division types (khimki district for example). moscow province is not administred from moscow, just main offices located in moscow. so i think it's kind of incorrect phrase... Elk Salmon 00:33, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see nothing wrong with OKATO—it's an official, active, regularly updated government document that describes the current system of administrative division of Russia.  This article, and indeed the whole series, is not intended to cover common knoweledge ("what people use" and "common rules", as you say).  It is only intended to cover the material which is verifiable.  If you have access to reliable sources describing traditional view on this oblast's administrative divisions, by all means use them to write an article that would parallel one—I'll be the first to encourage you.  If not, I suggest that you come up with better arguments than "this is not what people in the streets think, so it's wrong".

Talk:Che Guevara in popular culture

message: i am afraid that an article about chegueveras portrait in popculture is a meta article, a derivative that could be endlessly followed by articles about popculture wievs about che gueveras role in pop culture, etc. moreover i doubt that the popculture iconization of che in itself is a topic of sufficient notability. there are countless accounts of some object or another being represented to a noiceable level in popculture yet theres no need to create dedicated articles to these, just as theres no need for ches pop portrait. also i am unhappy about the che articles 'LEGACY and pop culture' paragraph linking to an article saying nothing about said legacy (perhaps because theres none, but then again why the dedicated article). to me he seems a confused young brat with not many notable thoughts left behind, however heroic might have been his life and death.

thread_title:  London error 

message: I think the Genesis section reads more like an essay than an encyclopaedia article.
That section's first paragraph begins by addressing the reader, which I think goes against WP:PRONOUN:
Walk through any major metropolis around the globe and it is likely that you will come across an image of Che Guevara, most commonly a stylized version of Korda's iconic Guerrillero Heroico. An archetype, capable of endless visual regeneration which, depending on your opinion, either helps tell the story of 20th century visual literacy or kitsch banality.
The next part of that first paragraph is OK - it's an opinion, but one attributed to a specific author.
However, the next paragraph, with its bold "Enter Che:" at the start, again starts to feel more like an essay:
Enter Che: the 1960s symbol of student revolution, the all-pervasive ascetic gaze used to add allure and mystique to a product, because either a sophisticated audience is savvy enough to distinguish between revolution and commerce while enjoying the irony, or oblivious of who he is or what he represents. This began the metamorphosis from Che the martyred resistance fighter beloved by many, and Che the violent Marxist revolutionary despised by others, to his dual paradoxical position in the global corporate capitalist culture.

message: Please do not change this from "Dumpweed (Live)" to just "Dumpweed". The studio version of "Dumpweed" from Enema of the State was never a single, but the live version from The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!) was. That's why in this list of singles it appears AFTER "Man Overboard" (also from The MTT Show), instead of it being grouped with the Enema singles. Also, if you go to the article for "Dumpweed", it states right there that it was LIVE and not studio. Thank you. --- Fantasy Dragon (talk) 16:08, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Alan Bowne

message: This page is mostly about the film Bloodstream. The film is a little obscure but deals with politically interesting material that will hopefully be of interest to a niche readership. The play upon which the film is based has been produced in the last two years and has more google hits, so I thought it would be good to locate the film information on a page about the playwright. This also simplifies a number of technical issues, notably that "bloodstream" is currently redirected to "blood" and "bloodstream (film)" might confuse readers who are looking for another more recent film of the same name (made in 2000). 
I tried to get enough initial information up so that this won't need to be labelled a stub. I'm hoping to add more information about bloodstream in the future and flesh out the playwrights bio with anything else I can dig up and I'm hoping some theatre types might add something about his other plays or creat a New Dramatists page that would link to this one.

Talk:West African Campaign (World War I)

message: I've attempted to improve the article using the book by Gorges (1930) – a primary source by someone who was there.  Some specific points:
:I have shown Captain Bryant's acting rank of Lt.-Col., rather than his substantive rank.  (Gorges explains his T&G promotion, then refers to him as Col. Bryant from that point.)  
:I tried to insert a link from this article into the French Wikipedia article on Brigadier (later General) Joseph Aymerich, but all I got was a broken link.  Perhaps a Wiki-ninja would care to make the link.  (I obtained an account with the French Wikipedia ... but again, couldn't link Aymerich's page to this one.)  
:I deleted the comment about there being 'no European German casualties' in the Togoland campaign ... in the light of the fact that someone had thought to put the 'died' symbol after Captain Georg Pfähler.  (Gorges does not say specifically either way.)  A definitive answer would help.  
:Overall, it did have the flavour of German PoV, which I've tried to make more neutral; but I think it is fair still to refer to the Cameroons as Kamerun, given that this was the colony's name at the time.  --Wally Tharg (talk) 19:48, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Admittedly it does not explicitly say York factory, but it seems like it is.   It is not a misprint - it is repeated in other copies (e.g. ) nor a calendar quirk.  There wouldn't have been time to communicate the info to Ryswick if it was in 1697.  Nor does it seem like a later addition to the treaty.  How certain is the September 5, 1697 date for this battle?
