message: Northampton, Massachusetts is as famous as the place to which you British people are routing queries... You've done this with other American/English/Canadian cities too, like Plymouth and Cambridge--both of which have American versions which are equally (at least,) if not more famous (at most.) Northampton, like the above mentioned, should be a disambig page--and it's silly hubris that it's not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.177.164 (talk) 13:48, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Ridiculous that Northampton isn't a disambig

message: Status quo is that main page for Northampton is for the town in England AND that the main page has a hatnote linking to the disambiguation page.
1. I assume that the reason that Northampton in England has the main page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northampton is that they created their article first. 
2. Northampton, MA, USA is an important place in its own right, including age, population, historical events, etc. 
3. It is a city and the County Seat of Hampshire County, thus roughly equivalent to Northampton, Northamptonshire (which is a County Town) in its geographic level of political division.
4. I searched for page popularity just now, and Northampton in England has about 2.5x more traffic (October 20, 2009 to October 23, 2010) than Northampton, MA, USA.
5. Northampton in England page has a hatnote to the Northampton (disambiguation) page. I believe that this is sufficient for most users who land at that page, to realize that it is not the page for Northampton, MA, and to navigate to the page they are looking for.--Nohoguy (talk) 01:00, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:List of film festivals

message: Istanbul is a transcontinental city in Eurasia, straddling the Bosporus strait (which separates Europe and Asia). Everything east of the strait is in Europe. Everything west (including the Antalya International Film Festival), is in Asia. But it's listed as a Film Festival in Europe here. The Istanbul International Film Festival is held in movie theaters all over the city so an argument could be made that it is the world's only transcontinental film festival but geographically the Antalya festival is in Asia. Turkey is not a member of the European Union so I am wondering what the criteria is for putting it in the "Film Festivals in Europe" list here. Kire1975 (talk) 20:52, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Flagon

message: I'm a bit confused - I thought a flagon was a more general term for a vessel that holds liquid, usually with a handle and a lid, and also means the amount of liquid held in such a vessel. The OED has the earliest usage in english print at ca 1470-1485. I certainly don't disagree with any extra information and crosslinking, but I think the primary definition should be the most general. Comments? If I get around to it I'll add information to the entry in a bit. Jed 17:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Flagon wine and cider in Australia, almost exclusively of the very cheap variety, was popular amongst the lower socio-economic group for a long period preceding the introduction of cask-wine (which truly revolutionised alcoholism).  Flagons (also known as "goons") were made of glass with a volume of approx 1 gallon.  Anyone want to toss this around so we can keep a precise history of this obviously disappearing memory?  It may not be savory but it existed. Smfcassidy 03:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Usage in Australia

message: I've added a couple of citation needed tags to the New Zeland section as there are no sources at all. I'm also curious about the sentence "The amendment allowed winemakers to sell wine from their vineyards for off-licence consumption, so long as the quantity was two gallons or more - hence the 2 g flagon.". Should this not be 'two gallons or less'? It seems a little strange folks being forced to buy at least 2 gallons of wine at a time. (StupidWeasel (talk) 07:21, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Caranus of Macedon

message: This articles gives (without sources) the father of Karanos as being Temenos. However, this source  says he is the brother of the tyrant Pheidon, in turn according to  the son of Aristodamidas. This version is consistent with the lineage as provided on de:Karanos (König).
Therefore it seems the line should be:
*Temenos
*Keisos
*Maron
*Thestros
*Merops or Akoos
*Aristodamidas
*Karanos
If there are different versions of the exact lineage in the sources, then that needs to be stated and the current version must be sourced properly. Travelbird (talk) 10:04, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Source PDF 

message: There seems to be confusion about Cumming(s) and his 1775 patent, particularly regarding the S-trap. 
Although his 1775 patent for a valve water closet includes one in the waste pipe, the main elements of his patent were the sliding valve, low-level water inlet and linking the flush valve with the water inlet valve to allow the pan to be emptied, flushed and refilled with a single pull, which were themselves significant enough improvements to warrant his reputation as a sanitary pioneer. Adam Hart-Davis notes that Cumming's patent described the S-trap as "too well known to require a description here" which suggests that Cumming did not invent it himself, or at least that it was not new in this patent. Including claims that he invented the S-trap would seem to be promoting a 'fact' that is not at all certain; it is, however, significant that he included it in the first patent for a flush toilet.
