Talk:Saint Anselm College

message: To anyone, but in particular . You indicated that "we use the seal in the image feel of the INFOBOX of colleges". I'm presuming this is some convention agreed upon by editors somewhere and I don't disbelieve you but I did a very cursory sampling of colleges and it is far from universal. I even check some featured articles and many had a logo or some image other than the seal. Perhaps a convention is to use a seal if it's available and use some other image if there is no seal available. The man may not be a need to review the guideline governing this, but I want to explain why I replaced the seal with a logo in this particular case. It wasn't a whim.
A representative of the school contacted us because there have been incidents of misuse (per wp:beans I'd prefer not to go into detail) and they requested that the logo rather than the seal. I fully understand that this is our encyclopedia not there encyclopedia and we can decide what is the most appropriate information to include in the article subject to some limitations such as legal limitations. I see this is very analogous to privacy concerns, where we remove information such as month and day of birth date and home addresses even though they might be supportable by reliable sources. I understand that other schools have seals, but I also believe I know that the same problems might not occur for those schools, so I think we should accede to the request be used.
I removed the seal but I have not yet replaced it with a logo awaiting this discussion on how this should be handled.--S Philbrick(Talk) 15:05, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: We are using the seal in this field of the infobox for almost all the other colleges with some exceptions, notably the colleges with a shield/coat of arms (like the Ivy League or the British universities). --RaphaelQS (talk) 15:28, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  In an odd coincidence, I looked first at a couple schools at random that did not have a seal, then decided to look at FA, and looked at Dartmouth, then Duke University. Too small a sample size, but there definitely are some exceptions. However, you haven't responded to the main reason for the removal. Is it your opinion that Wikipedia has the right to enforce some arbitrary convention even when there's some evidence that it causes real harm?--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:58, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: "there definitely are some exceptions" Again, only the colleges with a shield/coat of arms (both Dartmouth and Duke are using a shield). "Is it your opinion that Wikipedia has the right to enforce some arbitrary convention even when there's some evidence that it causes real harm?" I don't have any evidence that any real harm is being done to anyone. Some colleges complained about the use of their seal in their article a few years ago because, they claimed, it could be used to create fake diplomas, but no one cared and they were laughed away. --RaphaelQS (talk) 07:00, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Merrimack Valley Region

message: * Disagree -- the Merrimack Valley Region surrounds, well, the Merrimack River whereas the Golden Triangle stretches quite far east to the Salem/I-93 corridor, an area quite divorced from the Merrimack. Atlant 22:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with Golden Triangle? 

message: Please look at the Merrimack Valley article.  This article does not seem well named.  In Massachusetts we use this specific term in one way, in New Hampshire we use it another way, and people familiar with geography and topography use it another way!  Given the variety of ways in which this term is used, perhaps Merrimack Valley shouldn't be a regular article, but rather should be a disambiguation page.

Talk:Monadnock Region

message: What is the source of that map of the state regions? I thought I knew, but I can't find it. We should list it since the eastern border that it shows for Monadnock is really, really far east. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 21:01, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, NH Travel & Tourism no longer shows the map anywhere on their website, as far as I can tell. Since they still use the same region names, I suspect they have that information somewhere offline. I had to dig around recently for the White Mountains Region article and found a copy of the map still available on the NHDOT website: https://www.nh.gov/dot/org/projectdevelopment/planning/gis-data-catalog/documents/state-tourist-regions.pdf .

replies: text: I think the list of towns is sufficient as is. Certainly Warren is not a major town in the region. Twin Mountain is arguable, but I for one wouldn't add it, because it's still quite low-density, and it is only one area of development within the town of Carroll, along with Bretton Woods and a few other places. --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:05, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

message: I'm uncertain about the very specific definition of the region given in this article. If the NH Dept. of Tourism ever designated the "region" so specifically, it doesn't do that any more - the article link is dead and the new page is pretty vague: https://www.visitnh.gov/the-regions-of-new-hampshire/white-mountains - DavidWBrooks (talk) 01:51, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: NH Travel & Tourism dropped the sharp definition of their regions a few years ago, probably with the migration to their new website. I found a map of the regions still up on the NHDOT website: https://www.nh.gov/dot/org/projectdevelopment/planning/gis-data-catalog/documents/state-tourist-regions.pdf. (Sadly, this same blurring of boundaries has happened with the Merrimack Valley region in Massachusetts, as well.)  --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:02, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: So we should rewrite this article, then? Make the region more general and blurry. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 17:29, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I was complaining about the increasing blurriness, actually. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:19, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I think blurriness is better because there isn't any official designation any more. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 22:40, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. It would mean that this article is no longer necessary. Any tourist info that is only here could be folded into the broader White Mountains article. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:39, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Talk:List of places in New Hampshire

message: I would like to start an article on "lost" locations of NH, i.e., those placenames that have appeared on early maps or other descriptions, but have been obliterated, abandoned, re-named, moved, or subsumed by other locales. For example, here in the North Country, there are places that used to be accessible by railroads that no longer exist, and may only be known locally (if at all) by the old names. Hazen's Mills. Whipple. Jefferson Meadows. Coos (now called North Stratford). Some of these may also have GNIS entries under "Historical" post offices.  There are also many geographic features that have been renamed over the years, a fact that may be overlooked in the pertinent main article of such a feature. I propose to name it "Lost places of New Hampshire" under the categories of History of NH and Geography of NH.  Any ideas? Comments? Cross references? Lupinelawyer 18:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

From a governing standpoint, they are all identical -- unincorporated municipalities.  "Township" is as good a term for them as any, because it is recognized elsewhere in the United States.

Talk:Farragut-class destroyer (1958)

message: I really didn't think that anyone would contest the change I made, changing the definition of the hull designation of DLG from "Frigate" to "Destroyer Leader", but here we are.
If you go to the U.S. Navy's website  and search for "DLG", you will find a series of articles in which DLG is either defined as "guided missile destroyer" or guided missile destroyer leader". There are only two pages that define DLG as "guided missile frigate" and one is a copy of the other.
In addition, no one I know that ever served aboard a DLG (while it was a DLG) would have called their ship a "frigate".
The only reference to them being Frigates in the Navy.mil website is on a handful of ship histories, but not all of them.
I don't know who called them "frigates" but the Navy doesn't (and didn't) and the sailors that served on them don't (and didn't.)
I also would like to call your attention to the USS Norfolk (DL-1), the USS Mitscher (DL-2), the USS John S. McCain (DL-3), the USS Willis A. Lee (DL-4), and the USS Wilkinson (DL-5). If a DL is a Destroyer Leader, why isn't a DLG a Guided Missile Destroyer Leader?

replies: text: I reported aboard USS Coontz (DLG-9) in 1965, and we called the DLGs frigates until they started talking about the redesignation to guided missile destroyers and cruisers in 1975 as I was taking the last links off my short-timer's chain of pop top beer can pull tabs. That was the year a programmable pocket calculator cost the percentage of my income that would buy a well-equipped desktop today. I wouldn't recommend weighting web search statistics to determine pre-web nomenclature. The 1955 NAVPERS Warship Identification Manual description of the DL MITSCHER Class included: These ships formerly classed as destroyer leaders are now classed as frigates with the DL designation.

Talk:Gregorian Reform

message: Hello, I am planning to add on to this article for a course project; here i will evaluate the article in order to assess what aspects i would be able to contribute to.
Gregorian Reform
* Everything within the article seems to be on topic, the only segment i would look into is the time skip into the investiture controversy but i believe that is likely justified.
* The article seems neutral overall, no bias seems to be interfering with any of the facts presented.
* I feel like the "central status of the church" segment could enjoy a bit more representation as it is pivotal in understanding the power of the papacy in the middle ages. The enforcement of celibacy could use more representation as well, but as of now the centralization of the church takes priority.
* It seems the one online source has its link broken, the other sources are all physical but their topics seem to concern the article at hand.
* The talk page is completely bare of any interaction, which doesn't bode well. That is a factor that will need fixing.
* The article has been rated as a start-class of top-importance for both the wiki projects of the Middle Ages and Catholicism.
Over all this article seems like the perfect fit for my interests. It is lacking enough information that i can clearly see the aspects in which i can improve it and at the same time being unfamiliar enough for me to encourage me to become for versed in the topic during the process.
