Talk:Canadian Tire money

message: The article claims, "Some privately owned businesses in Canada accept CTM as payment (see history below) ...." But the only other business which the article says accepts it is The Works restaurants, and only for one of their menu items. The other examples in the "Usage beyond Canadian Tire" are (1) an ATM dispensing CTM by mistake, (2) a fictional character in a movie offering it in a private transaction, (3) a person having a large quantity of counterfeit CTM, and (4) a musician accepting CTM to fund his album. None of these are examples of privately owned businesses accepting CTM. There may indeed be other examples but they need to be included and cited. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:20, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Beeston, West Yorkshire

message: I've just edited the main article, adding links to a couple of articles from the Yorkshire Evening Post. These give a bit of balance to the picture given by the Times article. I have been a resident of Beeston for around 8 years now, and was involved in the Beeston United for Peace activities following the bombings. I was angry at how our area was portrayed in the Times, by a journalist who had clearly not troubled himself to get to know the place. I spoke to other locals who shared my feelings.

message: It looks like nothing has been discussed or changed regarding the NPOV dispute on this page since early June of last year.

Oppose acceptance:
Suggest mediation. I have done some research regarding the law suit at issue. I suggest it not be mentioned in the articles (or anywhere in Wikipedia) until the International Court of Justice has decided to hear it. (in other words not just filed but accepted by the court as worth hearing). If the parties continue with personal attacks the matter could be heard on that basis with offending parties all banned for a day or two. Meanwhile I suggest everyone just delete all personal attacks. I did not observe any neo-nazis or clowns myself. If we do eventually accept this matter it will not be to determine the content of the article, but to determine whether the users involved have followed Wikipedia policies.

thread_title:  denomination capitalization 

message: The topic discussed in the article covers 3 different currency systems:
* the Gulden Conventions-Münze which was introduced in 1750 (by the Zwanzigguldenfuß) and called so since 1753 (Münzvertrag with Bavaria; 1753. november 21.); 1 Gulden C.M. = 11,693 g fine silver
* the Gulden österreichischer Währung which was introduced in 1858 according to the 1857 Wiener Münzvertrag (which founded the Deutsche Münzverein); 1 Gulden ö. W. = 11,111 g fine silver
* the Austro-Hungarian Gulden which was introduced in 1867 as a coin and 1881 as paper money. The reason of introduction is a bit more complicated than for the above currencies: although 1 Austro-Hungarian Gulden remained equal to 11,111 g fine silver, the issuer was new, the banking system was reorganized and even the state had been based on new "constitutional" system (Habsburg Empire -> Austria-Hungary; somewhat like Federal Republic of Yugoslavia -> Serbia and Montenegro in 2003). The reason of the changes was the Austro-Prussian War and its two consequences: the Ausgleich and that Austria was excluded from the Deutsche Münzverein. The Austrian coins changed slighly (the name of Lombardy and Venetia was left from the inscriptions) and Hungarian coins appeared with Hungarian text, coat of arms and traditional mintmarks. The issue of paper money was a more problematic task: Hungary insisted on that a Hungarian National Bank should be founded (the Hungarian counterpart of the Oesterreichise National-Bank), but the Kaiser withheld this plan. The joint bank was finally established in 1878 with Austria and Hungary having equal rights; the first banknotes came into circulation in 1881. This currency remained in circulation long after the introduction of the gold-based Krone (I guess until 1900, but not sure). Timur lenk (talk) 20:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:H. Warner Munn

message: Munn is listed on the page Talk:List of Jews; however, in the interview with Jessica Amanda Salmonson cited in the external links to this article, he seems to indicate his background is Christian, one of his ancestors having been a minister. While I realize that ancestry in one faith does not preclude membership in another, this information does make me cautious about entering Munn's religion as Judaism. Can anybody authenticate (or alternatively debunk) Munn's appearance in the List of Jews? Thanks, BPK 12/13/05.
:Have since discovered per his entry in Contemporary Authors that Munn's religion was Lutheran. So it looks like the Talk:List of Jews listing was wrong. BPK 06:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: In addition to building his own house at 5019 North Vassault Street, the book Tacoma's Salmon Beach by Roger Cushman Edwards (Arcadia Publishing, 2006, page 89) says that "Harold Munn doubled the size of the above cabin, now No. 82, by expanding onto vacant land where cabin No. 81 had been destroyed by the 1951 mudslide." Might be worth mentioning. It also implies he moved to Tacoma long before "his last years", but I don't know for sure. I also don't know whether he lived in the cabin or merely expanded it while living on Vassault St, as the two are less than a mile apart. GCL (talk) 00:07, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Force 136

message: Did Force 136 actually "coordinate" the various revolts and uprisings in Burma in 1945 ? My reading, from various sources, suggest that the Karens came out into open revolt at a moment determined by General William Slim, commanding British Fourteenth Army, when it would best coincide with his army's operations and plans. The Burma National Army on the other hand, chose its own moment to change sides and declare openly for the Allies.
In neither case does Force 136 seem to have been the overall controlling authority; they either transmitted Slim's orders or could merely observe events without being able to dictate them.

Talk:DNA virus

message: Is the genome of ssDNA viruses assumed to have a positive orientation (i.e., same as the corresponding mRNA) unless otherwise specified?  In reviewing the Baltimore Class II virus families on Viralzone and ICTV, I note that they usually don't specify positive or negative, except when the do -- ??  Compare the following articles on Viralzone:
Smacoviridae: doesn't specify positive or negative.
Anelloviridae: specifies negative.
Spiraviridae: specifies positive.
Bidnaviridae: "Equal amount of positive and negative strands are encapsidated."  
So, the question arises, why is Class II, ssDNA viruses, one big class with both positive and negative DNAs, whereas for ssRNA viruses, the positives and negatives are given separate classes?  
Anyway, this positive/negative issue needs to be clarified here, I would think.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9000:AC08:A600:648D:D753:3EA1:A647 (talk) 18:11, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
