Talk:Mark Oaten

message: HOW ? "This was partially contradicted "
″This was partially contradicted by a 2009 Press Gazette interview Oaten gave, in which he said "Journalists ... had my story for three years I think, but hung on to it and never did anything with it."
I do not see how that quote can contradict a claim of a mid-life crisis, all that means is they waited to hurt him  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.112.188.157 (talk) 15:24, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Descendance

message: Surely the co-heirs to this barony are the same as to the title Baron Bourchier (whose last holder was the 12th Baron Ferrers of Chartley)? If other descendants claimed the title in the nineteenth century this would merit a mention in the article, but as the claim has been denied they can't be described as the heirs to the barony.

thread_title: Co-heirs

message: Complete Peerage places the death of John de Ferrers, 1st Baron Ferrers of Chartley, "probably in Aug. 1312", and ODNB, as cited in his Wikipedia article, also places his death in that year.  He was then succeeded by his elder son, John de Ferrers, who was living in 1321 but dead by 1324, when his heir was his brother Robert.  This contrasts with what is described on this page, that the 1st Baron lived to 1325, with Robert succeeding him directly.  While seemingly of little consequence, this means that the younger John, and not Robert, was the 2nd Baron Ferrers, and the numbering of all subsequent Barons Ferrers changes.  Before making such a dramatic change, is anyone aware of other sourcing that might supersede CP and ODNB? Agricolae (talk) 16:12, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: This has been confirmed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Royalty and Nobility/Archive 9#Barons Ferrers of Chartley - ODNB also has John, 1st Baron, succeeded by John, not Robert, so all of the subsequent barons will have to be renumbered. Agricolae (talk) 17:15, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Pennsylvania Railroad class S1

message: I recently downloaded a scanned copy of the December 1941 issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine (Vol 76 No.6). It had an article on the 6100 by Roderick M. Grant, titled "Riding the Gargantua of the Rails" on pages 8 to 11 & 197 including 8 photographs. The article told of an assistant road foreman Charlie Wapps from the Fort Wayne Division clocking the 6100 between Wanatah Ind. and Hanna, a distance of 6.3 miles, in a time of 2 minutes 50 seconds. The article goes on to say "That's 133.4 miles an hour."  211.30.5.254 (talk) 13:30, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

As a specific point, there is, in my opinion, too much detail in this text: Who really needs to know the names of the members of PRR's desgn committee on the S1??

Talk:Chen Lu (figure skater)

message: In many Asian languages and cultures the surname of a person is listed first and the given name comes second. On Wikipedia we, as a community, have done a good job of respecting this tradition by listing surnames before given names. However, more than any other Chinese name (or at least elite Chinese athlete) I have seen this skater's name listed in both manners. For example, during her career she was primarily known as Lu Chen (at least in American media), but now I see her name written as Chen Lu. Does anyone know definitively which is her surname and thus, which should be listed first?--MorrisIV (talk) 01:06, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Why are some firms on this page alphabetized and some not? I tried to edit, but I don't know how to get it right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.49.94.240 (talk • contribs) 
:To change the letter under which an article is categorised, you must edit that article.  Specifically, you must pipe the link to "Category:Management consulting firms" at the bottom of the article.  For instance, if you want "Grant Thornton" to appear under the letter T, you would change "Category:Management consulting firms" to "Thornton, Grant".  If you do not pipe the link, the article is automatically alphabetised based on the first letter of the title.  For a more detailed description, see this page.  -- Black Falcon 03:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: what is the intention of "firms per country". I though it should be sorted by country of origin / HQ. International firms can also go into that category. However, some firms (e.g. PWC) are listed in several countries. As most big consultancies have subsidiaries in virtually every country, this would just blow up the lists. However, I didn't want to make an edit as I wasn't sure abou the original intention (I hope I haven't overlooked sth. - I'm more a committed user who does occasional edits than an experienced editor).

Talk:Tardebigge

message: There is a theory that the name means "dung bag" referring to farming, and came from Anglo-Saxon *tærde (dung) and *bæga (bag/sack). But others say that that etymology needs too much of a linguistic jump: "turd" is attested in Anglo-Saxon as tyrdelu = "animal droppings", with a wrong vowel; and "bag" seems to have come from Old Norse and also has a wrong vowel. The name does not appear to have any likely meaning in Celtic either, and may be a stray survival from whatever non-Indo-European language was spoken in England before the Celts came.
I can't find any verification either for "tærde" and "bæga". Simplest conclusion: hoax. Official site  says "tower on the hill" but an apparently expert comment in the guestbook  disputes that. This paper goes into some detail and concludes ... etym uncertain. Tearlach 19:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

They are also very open on their web-site: as you can see, they provide all of their published records free of charge in full mp3's.

As an example, the Soviet anthem, according to the page here, had an official English translation, whilst Russian anthem does not, as far as I am aware. Thus I'm not sure that you have the right to translate (i.e. make a derivative) the anthem yourself and publish it here. (I assume, the rationale behind this being the fact that the translator might introduce some controversies that weren't supposed to be in the original work, so unofficial translations should not be permitted.)
