The well known Haltenorth and Diller, A Field Guide to the Mammals of Africa including Madagascar makes no mention of L. microtis, but lists L. whytei (= crawshayi) with identical range to L. microtis as given in this article, which only mentions L. victoriae as a synonym.

Talk:Levin, New Zealand

message: My Name is Peter Levin born Wellington 1932 and  the general pronunciation of Levin was 'Leveen' used by all in his youth including his family. He is categorical that this would have been how W H Levin said his name. I have a letter from Professor Arnold Wall (circa 1960s) and I quote " Certainly the correct pronunciation of your name is Leveen, not as is now generally heard, Levinn~~~~. I arrived in New Zealand in 1899 and at that time both Levin and the firm of Levin & Co of Wellington were always so pronounced" 
Professor Wall was, in his day, a noted and respected authority of the language and its usage.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liripuat (talk • contribs) 23:47, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:The Club of Odd Volumes

message: GearedBull,
I believe the title "colophon" for this is incorrect. It is more at a "Club Crest" or a "Club Seal" (despite the nasty double entendre contained therein). 
That written, it doesn't jibe with the definition of a Colophon that has been linked to. It does bear a passing resemblance to a "Press Mark" that would sometimes be associated with a Colophon, however, it is not that.
I would respectfully submit that this be renamed a "Club Crest".

replies: text: Hey there HotType918. No, I'm mixing nothing up. Wish that I were mixing a Manhattan on this cold day. I am familiar with its meaning as a note on the type, paper, printing, binding, etc. Our own local Houghton Mifflin's American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language definition does include production notes, but also states "A publisher's emblem or trademark placed usually on the title page of a book." In that definition it is a metonym for a printers device, not an ancillary suggestion of a place to place it. The wikipedia article includes its meaning as a printer's mark.

An image used in the article, specifically :Image:1852517-Tiraus main road-Tirau.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue.  The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive.  It is presumed that the uploaded was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard.  As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article.

Please also read the newspaper clipping about the 1962 calculations by Dr Ian Reilly:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1giLDfmjydEA8HMARufmWodgdSZ1zbI9D/view
Nelson City council confirmed to me in early 2019 that the information on their website was sourced from a 27 June 1962 newspaper article, and then I eventually obtained a copy of that article from GNS who had a clipping in their library. That also uses "Geographic Centre".
You will see that Dr Ian Reilly gave error margins of 5 minutes of arc for the positions he calculated. That equates approximately to a potential error in the north/south direction of over 9km. Furthermore it turns out that his estimated error was on the low side, and  the position is actually about 20 km south of what he calculated.
https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/38916-centre-of-the-mainland/&do=findComment&comment=464562
I've personally calculated the positions in various ways, using several different datasets and different methods, and there really isn't any doubt. These more accurate results mean Tapawera is roughly 30 km north of the more accurately calculated position, and also means St Arnaud is quite a bit closer than Tapawera. -- SeeNoEvil (talk) 21:51, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
