If this information is deemed sufficiently important to add to the article, I can obtain the newspaper reference, and a photograph of the bell for Wikipedia, as I live in the village and am president of our library's Friends group.
Please tack an answer here, and I will refer back to this section if the information is considered worthy of inclusion in the article.

replies: text: Den Chief is not relevant to Scout troop. The only connection is that a member of a Scout troop may be a Den Chief. A member of a Scout troop could live next door or eat pickles. The lack of relevance becomes apparent when attempt is made to rephrase the sentence to make Scout troop the subject - "A Scout troop may have a member who is a Den Chief working with his local Cub Scout pack to develop leadership skills". It has to be qualified ("may") which is a give away as to relevance and the subject is still the member or Den Chief not the Scout troop. I suggest Den Chief may be relevant to an article on Cubs.

Talk:Orenda Iroquois

message: The SFC number of 0.85 seemed suspicious to me. This engine had an OPR of 8:1, typical of an engine like the Avon with an SFC of about .93, as compared to a J79 with an OPR of 13 and a SFC of .85. I would assume that improved OPR would result in improved SFC?
So I googled about a bit and found this document of ARDC testing in the US which lists the SFC on page 42, figure 15, as varying only slightly over altitude from about 1.3 to 1.4. Now that seems on the high side. With AB on it varies between 1.6 and 2.2 depending on altitude.

Talk:Slap Shot 2: Breaking the Ice

message: I don't know anything about Rotten Tomatoes, so I have hesitated changing the article, but from the facts I gather from the site, the reason it has a "0% Rotten" rating is nobody has reviewed it yet. Thus, including this information in the article means any movie that hasn't received a review would carry a 0%. Clicking various tabs, I see "T-meter Critics - 0% / 0 reviews; Top Critics - N/A / 0 reviews; RT Community - 26% / 15 reviews." I honestly have no idea what any of this means. Bad movie, sure, but not a 0%.
One more thing - I don't think the movie makes any hint that Sean Linden, the character played by Baldwin, is in any way related to real-life Trevor Linden from the Vancouver Canucks. The Canuck was well respected by his teammates and fans, whereas the movie character found himself lost in the minors, inevitably sacrificing his dignity for a mockery league, after missing a great career in the NHL because of suspected gambling in a rigged game. Trevor Linden doesn't share any characteristics with the movie role - no minor career after he retired and never a suspect in any unethical activity, on or off the ice. Makes me wonder what the author was implying - just a name similarity? 
Because of these two disputes, and the missing citation from the glowing puck reference, I would recommend the "Miscellany" section be deleted, and the Rotten Tomatoes rating (if accurate) could be included in the introduction.Kingdomcarts (talk) 03:19, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Piotr Skut

message: The article reads (in part):
:"In either case, it is remarkable that he identifies with Estonia which was de facto part of the Soviet Union when Hergé published The Red Sea Sharks in 1958."
Why would that be so remarkable? In 1958, Estonia had only been part of the Soviet Union for thirteen years. Skut is portrayed as a grown man, but not old, so was presumably born and raised during the times of Estonia's (first) independence and/or the second World War. In fact, if he's gallivanting around the Western world as a mercenary in the mid-fifties, the most plausible back-story for the character would be that he's been in exile since the end of WWII, after having fought against the Soviets. (i.e, in effect, on the German / Finnish side. cf 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Estonian).)
