Talk:Gimpel the Fool

message: I wonder if this page is about "Gimpel the Fool" the story or Gimpel the Fool the collection. Surely there should be two separate articles and the two items shouldn't be simply mushed together into one page, like they are now. Surely there is some precedence for these kinds of things... Any thoughts? Bobnorwal (talk) 03:53, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:O.S.C.A.

message: I changed the style in the article so that it always reads "OSCA". Previously all three variants were present. I based this on a few criteria:
*Easier to write than O.S.C.A.
*Already written OSCA in all of the motorsports entries I checked; changing it there would be extremely long-winded.
*"Osca" feels problematic since the name is an acronym after all.
I do not propose renaming the article, "OSCA" should remain a dab page.  Mr.choppers | ✎  19:04, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Kingdom of Haiti

message: The 1811 constitution did not change the name of the country from the State of Haiti, but merely established that it was to be governed as a kingdom. Unless there are sources backing the name change (for example, it was perhaps enacted as a proclamation or law subsequent to the Constitution,) this article should be merged as a new section of the State of Haiti. — LlywelynII 21:10, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Anthropological bias

message: The article states: "This transformation occurs in the first few hundred meters of burial and results in the creation of two primary products" (emphasis added by me).  I am not competent in this area, but wonder whether the author really meant to reference distance or whether time or some other variable is intended.--Rpclod (talk) 17:59, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transformation 

message: The term diagenesis is also used in environmental chemistry and ecology to refer to chemical transformation and remineralization in sediments under lakes,streams, and wetlands. This transformation may lead to availability of materials to be recycled back into surface water. Geologists may find this use of the term diagenesis inappropriate. Time and ability prevent me from writing a section on this in the main article, but one relevant citation would be:

thread_title: Complete dog's breakfast

message: Anon IP 203.214.138.216 has today added a section starting:
:"Since his death, rumours have begun circulating to the effect that Vialls was actually a Mossad operative named Ari Ben-Menashe." This edit – based on rumours – cannot stand for two reasons:
*The referenced website appears to date from before the death of Joe Vialls in July 2005.
*Wikipedia article Ari Ben-Menashe, which has been extensively edited since July 2005, continues to put the subject in the Living people category.
In my view, this rumour of the Vialls/Menashe alter ego cannot appear on Wikipedia unless and until it is confirmed beyond doubt that Ari Ben-Menashe died in July 2005.Phase4 12:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Anon IP 203.194.70.65 has today added a swathe of information in 21 separate edits to the Vialls article.

Someone who's interested is welcome to look it up again, but they would need to do a better job of reading and synthesizing the material than this.

Talk:Montana (steamboat)

message: An anonymous user posted a personal account that does not fit with the history of this steamship Montana nor the civil war era ship of the same name. I am loath to delete it, however and will post it here...
[In 1866 Captain Thomas Burgess Davis resumed steam-boating, conducting a line of his own from Memphis, Tennessee, up White River to Augusta, Arkansas. He made his home at Memphis till 1873, when he removed once more to Rock Island, Illinois, and entered the U. S. Government service, in the capacity of Captain of the United States Steamer Montana. For three years he served under Colonel Macomb of the United States Engineer Corps, then in charge of the Upper Mississippi River Improvement. In 1877 he took a Government contract to convey up the Missouri, Yellowstone and Little Big Horn Rivers (the latter never before navigated), the material for the building of Forts Custer and Keough, in Montana, the freight being secured at Bismarck, Dakota, then the Western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad. This was immediately after the Custer massacre, when the region in which he operated was full of great peril. Captain Davis, however, knew no fear, and fulfilled his contract with promptness and with satisfaction to all concerned. http://www.accessgenealogy.com] [He was accompanied by his son, Sam Davis [Samuel Sharpe Davis], who performed the duties of clerk. In later years, Sam related that, at Fort Custer, his father had received aboard the Montana boxes containing the remains of General Custer and others which he later delivered to Army authorities at Fort Lincoln. -DD]

To wit: "head" means "person" as in "counting heads"; "cutting" means "taking away". It was about busking, a short distance away from another busker, and playing so well that one could literally steal audience watching a musician over there, by enticing them to walk over here to listen to you instead, and earn their donations to the hat.

Talk:Hang Seng

message: I have moved back the redirect from Hang Seng Bank to Hang Seng Index for the following reasons:
* The change on Aug 15, 2007 was done without discussion.
* Try to search "Hang Seng" at a non-HongKong-based search engine (e.g. US Yahoo!). The first result is HSI Services Ltd (the organisation that operates the Hang Seng Index), not the bank. I'd agree that most Hong Kong people would first refer to the bank, rather than the stock index, when talking about "Hang Seng". However, we should have a global view when we give names to articles in WP. Please note that Hang Seng Bank is merely a local bank, while Hang Seng Index is the indicator of one of the most important stock markets in the world. We may predict that people outside Hong Kong would first refer to the stock index when talking about "Hang Seng".
Feel free to discuss here, but please keep the redirect as it is, until we've reached a concensus.
