Talk:Harvest (wine)

message: "One of the benefits of mechanical harvesting is the relatively low cost of running a harvester that is able to run 24 hours a day and pick 80-200 tons of grapes in contrast to the 1-2 tons that an experienced human picker could do."
Is it 80-200 tons a day or per season? It should read "a day" or the like, to make it clear.
Beating down 80-200 tons of grapes with a stick in a day is really much, no matter if you've
got an automatic conveyor belt or not. It would be nice if someone who is certain about it
could clarify this.

message: Did you know, in Hebrew there is a specific word for this. It is called Bazir. Maybe it should be mentioned in this article? Also, Bazir plays a role in Judaism and in the Bible, so maybe you can write about that too. (I'm not good at writing articles so I'm just suggesting). YemeniteCamel 10:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That would work nicely in a history section. Or at the very least we could put it in the lead after the description of what the new & old world names. Could you steer me in the direction of a couple reliable sources that I could use for it?  AgneCheese/Wine 10:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

text: We have a special word in English, too: vintage: "Vintage, in wine-making, is the process of picking grapes and creating the finished product," I read in Wikipedia. Vendange and vendemmia might each get a mention. The faintly daffy idea of a "wine harvest" makes me giddy: I want to suggest that of a comparable "bread harvest" and recall the "Spaghetti tree" hoax. Did "Grape harvest" seem too prosaic? --Wetman 11:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well vintage has its spot in the lead. The title of Harvest (wine) was chosen because it is most commonly referred to in our wine articles as Harvest and with the parenthetical disambig it made it easy to pipe link it to the correct page instead of the generic harvest.

Category talk:King of the Hill episodes

message: Someone placed "notability" on most of the articles in this category. I'm aware that this show might not be as teen-friendly/cool/anime-like/stoner-bait as shows like Clerks (animated series), Clone High, Gargoyles, or Tom Goes to the Mayor. Still unlike those shows it has lasted ten years on a major network so I think it has episodes more notable than any of those shows. 
So I'm removing some of these notability deals. Mostly I'm removing the warning from well-regarded episodes or ones that had notable qualities.--T. Anthony 08:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Bromley (chief justice)

message: After a Googlemap check I have changed the description (Descendants section) of the proximity of Wroxeter to High Ercall Hall from north east (not east) of Wroxeter and 'in sight of (not 'next to') the Wrekin'.  The village of Wroxeter, High Ercall village (in whose centre the Hall stands) and the Wrekin Hill are more distant from each other than the original description suggested.Cloptonson (talk) 12:54, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Proximity of Wroxeter and High Ercall

message: I suspect there is a word missing in the last sentence of this passage. It refers to a time scale but is it days, weeks, months, years? Please check:
Sir William Portman succeeded Bromley as chief justice on 11 June 1555. The exact date, even the year, of Bromley's death was not known when the DNB account of his life was written, leaving the impression that the Queen's displeasure might have led to his disgrace and dismissal. However, recent sources concur in dating his about four [    ] before Portman's succession, making this supposition unnecessary.

Looking at the page for Michael Witzel, I would have to say that they are not the same person.

Theres a kind of moral there.

Talk:Maria Prymachenko

message: I'm seeing, e.g., this 2022 CNN article , hedge this quote from Picasso saying . 
This 2022 Guardian article  provides a similar hedge: 
I was able to find a slight variation in the 1982 book Folk Art from the Ukraine (ed. Lesia Danchenko)  but with no source for the quotation.
Given how easily fake quotations propagate I would like a source that proves an actual provenance for this quotation -- presumably he did not say this in English, for one, and it would be ideal if we could get a quotation which can trace its providence to at least within Picasso's lifetime.
In any event, a better source is needed than HerArt Podcast, and perhaps in the meantime an "allegedly" might be useful.

Talk:Pan American Chess Championship

message: The championship seems to be renamed in 2001. In 1999 and 2001 it seems like the Pan American was a championship for blind people, see here . The event now seems to be played as a qualifier for the world championship. This article needs proper context explaining this. Voorlandt 10:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Different championships, same name

message: The American Continental Championship served as qualifier for the World Cup only from 2005 (ChessBase article), as the first World Cup was held in 2005. This year's championship was regarded as the tenth edition (Chessdom, official website of the 2015 championship), the 2012 edition was the 7th (chess.com article with the official logo of the championship). So it seems they started to number the championships from 2005 (it wasn't held in 2006). I think it's better to split the table (besides, there are several missing editions). —Sophia91 (talk) 19:47, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed my mind about splitting the table, since the 2007 edition is known as the 4th edition (Spanish Chessbase's article with the logo of the tournament, TWIC). I suspect that while numbering they skipped the 2008 and 2010 editions: BrasilBase (which has all the records of the South American and Panamerican events) doesn't list them under the World Championship cycle events, unlike all the other editions, but among the Panamerican events, which don't qualify for the World Cup; maybe because their official name was Campeonato Panamericano-Continental instead of Campeonato Continental de las Americas like all the other editions. But in fact the 2008 and 2010 tournaments qualified one player each for the World Cup, and therefore, to me, they should be included under the "American Continental Chess Championship" section; I think it's better to add a note about 2008 and 2010 events. — Sophia91 (talk) 22:03, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Hellenic Gendarmerie

message: Dear editors,
It happens me to be a grandchild of a late gendarme - Enomotarchis-. I concern myself in writing, so I try to make some things clear about Greek Gendarmerie  but there is not much information especially in my language.  I have many questions unanswered. In the article you have two panels with the ranks of the force. The first one shows the insignia until 1935. But, I think there is a mistake since I have several photos of my granfather to declare that the two stripes on the sleeve signify the rank of 'Ypenomotarchis'. In one of the photos my grandfather, then Ypenomotarchis,two stripes- is surrounded by other officers that all have one stripe on their sleeves.... They are certainly just 'Chorofylakes', policemen, with one stripe. In the entry one stripe signifies 'Ypenomotarchis',instead of just chorofylakas, two stripes Enomotarchis. I am quite sure it is a mistake, so if you can find a proper, official source then edit it, since I do not want to intervene without it.

- I tried to upload two images but although the name of the file is mentioned I can't see the file... Can you see it?-
One thing that surprises me is that although most of the photos I own have been shot during the German Occupation, the uniforms are old with the insignia on the sleeves. The reason I give for it is that during those years of poverty most of the officers were not given new uniforms untill the end of the war... If you see photos of policemen in Athens the uniforms are new, they have the insignia on the arm.....  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manos G Zervos (talk • contribs) 11:15, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Regulatory takings in the United States

message: I'm going to try to add some material over the next several weeks.   Then, after its all there, I'm going to come back and try to reorganize and improve the encyclopedic language.  My plan would be to begin with some material on the nature of property, which I think is fundamental to an understanding of the regulatory taking issue.  Then I've begun some material on the evolution of US constitutional law on takings.  Likely, there will be lawyers or law students out there who may disagree with the selection of materials, but its a start.  If you can improve the analysis, please help.  
Then I'm going to try to walk through the series of key cases in the 20th century on takings showing how they relate to the regulatory takings issue.   Finally, a discussion of the most recent cases.
If you have thoughts on a different approach, post here.  If you have contributions to any of these topics, go for it.  I'll be back from time to time to make additions.  As this happens, by the way, there may be some temporary duplications, for which I apologize.

"The idea for a crossing between Ferry Point at Clason Point, Bronx, and Whitestone Point at Whitestone, Queens, was first proposed in 1905 by real estate speculators who wanted to develop Whitestone."
However in the late 19th Century, there was also the Whitestone and Westchester Railroad (originally a subsidiary of the Flushing and North Side Railroad), which was conceived as a potential crossing to the Bronx that was never built. I don't know if this was supposed to involve a ferry or a bridge, but the line that became the former LIRR Whitestone Branch was intended to cross the East River long before 1905. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  13:18, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
