Talk:Speaker of the California State Assembly

message: I just reverted the removal of the footnotes regarding the election of Setencich and Allen by Democrats following the end of Willie Brown's speakership. The footnotes are a neutral statement of fact; if it actually said they were lame ducks or puppet of Willie Brown (which is widely accepted), then it would be "biased" as the remover said. It's possible that it isn't relevant to this page and we can discuss removing it for that reason, but it should not be removed for "bias" when there is none. Mike Dillon 13:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Including district numbers in this list is problematic for two reasons. The first is that the data is currently unsourced, so we have people changing them from one thing to another without pointing to the source that caused them to change it. The second reason, which is more important, is redistricting. The district numbers are almost totally useless historically. "District 1" was not the same in 1906 as it is now in 2006, so having two entries that just say "1" in the District column is misleading if they aren't the same "District 1".

Really, it was just because there were more missionaries after the conquest? Weren't there missionaries before that, too?

Talk:New York Renaissance Faire

message: I've been to the New York Renaissance Faire, in Sterling Forest, Tuxedo, NY.  Across the street from the faire is some sort of abandoned motel, and a half-mile away is a huge once-paved field, that can hold several hundred cars.  There seems to be the remains of some type of radio or satellite dish at the end far from the road.  Does anyone know what these places used to be, or if there are any other abandoned areas nearby? RK
I've heard that the NYRF was built on the site of an enormous botanical garden from the turn of the century, and would have included that in the article if I had any kind of source to back it up.  I was rather hoping that someone with a greater knowledge of the history of the fair and the site would expand on it. Grepowell 22:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The seemingly abandoned motel you are describing is the location of a locally well-known halloween attraction called the Forest of Fear. It is also owned by the same company that owns the Renaissance Fair across the street. I found this listing describing it (accessed March 24 2021). It is no longer in operation as of Halloween 2018 or 2019. This is due to significant structural damage; it is no longer safe. Additionally, the contact listed on this site, Darlene Patrick, is no longer with the organization, and the host website (renfair.com/forestoffear) no longer has an active page for Forest of Fear.Brave Eleanor of Aquitaine (talk) 19:33, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:James Cameron (disambiguation)

message: _ _ The removal of the lk to America's Black Holocaust Museum was not an error, and in fact no reference to the museum is appropriate in the Dab.  The purpose of a Dab page is to disambiguate: specifically, between the different intents with which the page's title could reasonably be used. "James Cameron" cannot mean "America's Black Holocaust Museum", and mention of the museum is redundant to "civil rights" (or arguably even to "activist" of unspecified kind) in clarifying which James Cameron is being sought.
_ _ No one, i'm sure, would question the mention of the museum in his bio. But the bio is the appropriate route to the museum for any user who can't recall its name sufficiently accurately to go there directly.  In contrast, a Dab page or a list cannot substitute for an article -- nor can it do well its job as a navigational mechanism, if all its users are to be burdened with unnecessary words that are merely slight conveniences for a rare group of users.--Jerzy•t 14:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Kala-makara theme also can be found on stairs railings on either sides. On upper part of stairs, the mouth of kala's head projecting makara downward. The intricate stone carving of twin makaras flanking the lower level of stairs with its bodies forming the stair's railings. These types of stairs decorations can be observed in Borobudur and Prambanan temples.

Talk:AKG (company)

message: I found this article to have about 1/4 real information and 3/4 marketing material, so I cut out the marketing material. However, I feel that something serious should be said about some of the products of this company, which have played important roles both in recording studio technology (particularly the dynamic and condenser microphones of the 1950s through 1970s) and consumer audio. Most of the material that I cut out was about consumer headphones; I felt that it gave excessive detail on just one audiophile-oriented model while ignoring the headphones for which AKG is best known (e.g. the K 240). As soon as time permits, I will sketch in some information about the studio condenser microphones, which I know more about. DSatz 14:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Flashman and the Tiger

message: I added info on the original publication of the title story, in the Daily Express over  between 29th Sept 1975 and 3rd Oct 1975, with illustrations by Andrew Robb. 
So far my only source is this  AbeBooks ad for the original pen and inks of the illustrations, which I do not think is a citable reference (and might disappear if anybody buys those drawings). Hopefully somebody can find better documentation, maybe even copies of the newspapers themselves with the serialised story!
The exact wording of Fraser's intro is what got me investigating: he claimed the title story was actually "found" in the same "packet" as Flashman and the Great Game (also published 1975), and was set aside as it was unrelated, and left until similar shorter "packets" could be found and grouped. But there is no mention in the book's publication fine print that one of the three stories had ben previously published.
