Talk:Daniel D. McCracken

message: The editor about whom a COI was raised, User:DanMcCracken, only made one small edit which was factual. Whether or not this user was actually the late Professor McCracken, one isn't sure. The editor's name matches, that's about it. --- Wikiklrsc (talk) 15:12, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Ray Von

message: It might be added that there are rumours that Ray Von is actually rumoured to be based on a real person. Several years ago, in Bolton, near to where Peter Kay lived, there was a local dj who's name was Ray Vaughn Sharples, but quipped his name to DJ Ray Von.
Seems too much of a coincidence- same name, same profession, same place, same time.
This isn't my overactive brain just rambling, it is actually a growing rumour, and I do know the real Ray Von myself, so it isn't completely false. That said, he refuses to tell us whether or not it's actually based on him, and never comments on whether or not he knew Peter Kay, although it's thought that he did.

Talk:Albanian Chess Championship

message: The reason given is: It is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject. (CSD A7)
: Ok well, it is not about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content. The article is about the national chess championship in Albania (which is not a person, group of people, band, club, company or web content....). Voorlandt (talk) 19:02, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  A7 still applies - there are thousands of chess championships across the world.  I couldn't find an appropriate CSD 'category' in the Twinkle script, but the issue is that this article is just a list of people who participated in this championship.  Are any of those people notable?  What makes this article noteworthy?

Talk:Field gun competition

message: This article is a horribly confused mix between two different events. The well-known but discontinued Royal Tournament obstacle course and the less spectacular but ongoing Brickhill flat run. These need to be separated into at least different sections, ideally different articles if there is enough material for each. 
The Brickhill bits could also do with a somewhat more encylopaedic tone in places.
Would be great to have some pictures, especially of the Royal Tournament version, as it's quite hard to understand the character of the event just from the text.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.184.230 (talk) 21:03, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The account of Ladysmith is very interesting but completely irrelevant. Naval field gun competitions can be dated back to at least 1885, and in 1896 a team was sent to the Royal Military Tournament.

thread_title: First Burial Place

message: In the article section, Plan Kathleen, Görtz is said to have parachuted into Ireland and then walked the following route:
: Görtz parachuted into Ballivor, County Meath ... On landing ... walked to Dublin ... calling into a Garda barracks in County Wicklow, asking for directions to Dublin.
There is no citation to support this route description. The problem with this itinerary is that Ballivor is northwest of Dublin while Wicklow is south of it. Why would Görtz walk right past his destination as far as Wicklow and then seek directions to the place he passed (blindly?) along the way? The navigation, if true, is senseless. Alternatively, the article is wrong. O'Dea (talk) 21:59, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is a bit confused. Poor Goertz was dropped 50 miles off target and was not aiming at first for Dublin, let alone Ballivor, but for Laragh Castle, Co. Wicklow, home of Mrs Iseult Stuart (Maud Gonne's daughter), whose husband Francis was a lecturer in Berlin at the time. So he walked there and stayed briefly till he was taken to Dublin by Jim O'Donovan. He was not wearing his Luftwaffe uniform, which he discarded for civilian clothes on landing. He later asked the IRA to go to Ballivor and find it for him, but they were unsuccessful.

thread_title:  clarification needed 

message: These articles are a real mess right now. There are currently the following articles about Checker companies and products:
* Checker Motors Corporation: This article. Covers the manufacturer and its vehicles, but long and poorly organized.
* Checker Taxi: A mix of content about the Checker Taxi family of vehicles and the history of the Checker Taxi service in Chicago
* Checker Model A: A minimal stub about this one pre-WWII Taxi model
* Checker Aerobus: Start-class article about these variant vehicles based on the Taxi.
* Checker Superba: Uncited stub about the consumer car that preceded the Marathon
* Checker Marathon: The consumer version of the Taxi
I think the articles could be reorganized something like this:
* Checker Motors Corporation should be strictly about the manufacturing company
* Checker Taxi (Chicago) about the namesake taxi service (which both preceded and outlived the Checker Motors Corporation)
* List of Checker Taxi companies (or something in this vein) to cover the many taxi lines in other cities also called Checker
* List of Checker Motors Corporation vehicles mostly to collect the stubs of information about the pre-war models
* Checker A series (as a hopefully reasonable compromise title) about the most notable Checker vehicles, the A2 through A11
* Checker Marathon about the civilian cars, probably including a section for the Superba which doesn't need its own article at this point

thread_title:  Wilchelm v. Hertling? 

message: since citations have not been provided, I have to proceed with this and tag the article accordingly. The fact is, during the entire German occupation Courland remained under direct military administration, therefore calling it a state is quite a stretch. 
Also the fact is: On October 1918 the Chancellor of Germany Prince Maximilian of Baden proposed to have the military administration in the Baltic replaced by civilian authority. The new policy was stated with a telegram from the German Foreign Office to the military administration of the Baltic: The government of the Reich is unanimous in respect of the fundamental change in our policy towards the Baltic countries, namely that in the first instance policy is to be made with the Baltic peoples. In Latvia the German occupying powers formally handed over the authority to the Latvian national government headed by Kārlis Ulmanis on December 7 1918. @ The Baltic States and Weimar Ostpolitik By John Hiden
