Talk:Cashmere, Washington

message: Although it may be difficult to maintain an NPOV approach, I think any encyclopedia entry on Cashmere of more than a few paragraphs which does not mention Liberty Orchards is deficient. It will certainly not be unmentioned in the eowiki article I'll be writing sometime soon. --Haruo (talk) 17:38, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Liberty Orchards 

message: Hey everyone!
News article here - 
Personally feel that there could be a spin-off page about the memorial, so anyone interested in the future, please use the news article above. Goes into detail about the inspiration, how it was turned down for placement at the Olympia capitol grounds, and more nuance into the meanings and purpose and function (joining your hands with the sculpture completes the circle...Kleenex anyone?!). Not from Cashmere and only visited the community a year before it was installed, so a boots-on-the-ground (or a sculpture/history expert) would be a better editor to tackle this.
Cheers!

Talk:Authority (His Dark Materials)

message: Where does this analysis come from?
"However, the 'death' of the Authority can be seen in two ways. The first is that he is dead, and thus doesn't exist anymore, but the other way is that he becomes part of everything and (like dæmons and the ghosts in The Amber Spyglass) lives forever in all things that exist."
It's very pretty and also very inventive.

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Moved   — Amakuru (talk) 22:48, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Franz von Gruithuisen →  – I'm proposing this title change for two reasons:
# "Franz von Paula" is a full given name, like with Franz von Paula Schrank, and it is the name he himself uses in his publications (though usually in abbreviated forms like "Fr. v. P.").
# I am doubtful that he was even a baron at all, so to include a "von" before his family name seems misleading. So far I have been unable to find a reliable source stating he was one (beware of citogenesis, I've seen a few sources online repeat English Wikipedia's claim he is a Baron, which is to be expected at this point since the "Baron" in the article's lead has been there since the article's creation in 2005), and so the current title "Franz von Gruithuisen" looks as if it misuses "von" as a nobility particle rather than as part of the given name "Franz von Paula"? It may be bad form to refer to other language Wikipedias, but it is curious that German Wikipedia in particular does not refer to him even as "Freiherr" (= baron).
Oddly though, an image of his grave on Commons doesn't include "Paula" in his name, giving the name "Franz von Gruithuisen" as we use currently. Unless he was in fact a baron, It's possible this is a mistake, but I have no way to check this. Monster Iestyn (talk) 16:51, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Something someone added was this  and -defying aside on the biographical details of the editors of FXB's collected works. No real reason to doubt the dates but they should be cited and moved to their own personal articles:
:Franz Karl Hoffmann (January 19, 1804 - October 22, 1881). Beginning in 1835 he was professor of philosophy at the University of Würzburg.
:Julius Wilhelm Franz Hamberger (August 3, 1801 - August 5, 1885)
:Emil August von Schaden (September 24, 1814 - July 13, 1852)
:Johann Anton Bernhard Lutterbeck (April 23, 1812 - December 30, 1882)

Talk:Fred Archer (jockey)

message: Fred Archer was thought by contemporaries to be very acquisitive. Indeed, he was sometimes referred to as "the tin-man", "tin" being a slang term for money. 
This aspect is brought out in the novel Bertie and the Tinman, a fictionalised account of his death by novelist Peter Lovesey.

Template talk:Colleges and universities in Missouri

message: I changed the name of the list because Missouri has now renamed all of its 4-year colleges to be universities. Also, I removed the grouping of "state universities" and "others". The only system of schools in Missouri is the University of Missouri; all other universities in the state are completely independent of each other, irrespective of their names. Grouping them as they were gave the impression that there is some association between the schools with "state" in their names, which is not the case.—Lazytiger 18:13, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Shortly after moving the page to the sans-college title, I decided I should have just added the colleges. So, they are added and the template has moved back. (Wikipedia now allows moves overwriting redirects without admin approval.)—Lazytiger 18:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay I thought there was some association between state university sorry about that. I tried to model the box after a box I saw on the Georgia page but this one looks pretty good. I'm inclined to remove the link to all of the colleges in Missouri because this box seems to be about public institution of higher education not profit or non for profit. - thank you  Astuishin 10:42, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I put the link to the list in there just because it's a good list (I made it, so I guess I'm a little biased) and there are very few pages currently linking to it.  So, it's pretty hard to discover its existence. Yes, there are private schools on there too, but it is still a good source of additional information on the public schools. And what's the harm in finding out a little about the private schools in the state? I'm envisioning it being a nice little potential source of information for high schoolers (or anyone else) trying to discover what options exist.—Lazytiger 14:00, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is true but I think that list should still be removed because it is easily accessible from the Missouri main page, and the box might led to a box for private university which of course should be avoided.- thank you  Astuishin 19:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

message: "nahantjim" posted this on a Boston Globe article in 2018. It seemed interesting and I'm noting it here so someone can track down these claims.
:Tudor also invented the "Tudor fence" that stood about 16' high and offered protection from the salt and high winds which prevented regrowth of trees and made gardening impossible in Nahant.  Not everyone loved them and Thoreau was one who did not, commenting, "“Mr. Tudor’s ugly fences, a rod high designed to protect a few pear shrubs.” It must have been galling to Thoreau that Tudor won a coveted Horticultural Society prize for the pears they produced.  
:There is a description of how the endlessly inventive Tudor "converted the naked promontory of Nahant into a luxuriant garden" in John Phin's book below:

Talk:Frederick A. P. Barnard

message: There's an interesting comment from Barnard at the end of this review of a book about spontaneous generation:
To my mind, the most remarkable discovery of all is an 1873 essay by the American college president Frederick Barnard. He made exactly the connections between evolution, spontaneous generation, the germ theory of disease and the correlation of forces that Stride prepares his readers to appreciate. Barnard went on to argue that an honest person who accepted this cluster of ideas could not believe in an immortal soul - and that was a terrible, desolating price. If, he wrote (p. 114),
the final outcome of all the boasted discoveries of modern science is to disclose to men that they are more evanescent than the shadow of the swallow's wing upon the lake, ... give me then, I pray, no more science. Let me live on, in my simple ignorance, as my fathers lived before me, and when I shall at length be summoned to my final repose, let me still be able to fold the drapery of my couch about me, and lie down to pleasant, even though they be deceitful dreams.
 
This seems like an important insight into this man, though I have no idea of how influential his opinion was in this respect. 71.182.244.126 (talk) 16:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Found this article while working on Slavery at American colleges and universities#Columbia University.

Two months later, Duke Frederick Augustus died - he was the last member of the House of Nassau-Usingen, so William succeeded him as Duke.

Talk:SR N15X class

message: I have some problems with this article, especially the sentence in the first paragraph: "The final design was based upon that of the N15 Class locomotives, creating a hybrid locomotive that was created out of several standardised parts". Starting with the last point, what standardised parts are we talking about? The cab - the tender? What were they supposed to use? When you convert a tank into a tender engine you have to supply the missing parts from somewhere; you will sure avoid wasting time and money on new design. 2) In this respect, can we consider the U and U1 classes as "hybrids" because they were based on rebuilds from tank engines? 3) In what sense were these engines based on the N15? It seems pretty evident that they were so classified because it was hoped that they fit into the same slot. 4) As for the King Arthur front end, in the case of this locomotive it was an update on older Urie versions; it was therefore only natural that they would try this improvement on the N15X. I would also be interested in knowing the importance of the Sevenoaks derailment in the decision taken to convert the Baltics. A final nit-pick: is it valid to call this a "rebuild"? The locomotive was very little changed materially - and the improved front end could just as well have been applied to the Baltics. One more thing - IMO the label "unsuccessful" (like failure) is attached with a little too much relish by many writers.--John of Paris (talk) 15:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
