Talk:Willie Rushton

message: This week a host on the BBC said that Willie Rushton died in '97.  Everything I have found online puts his death as 11 Dec '96. One bio states: "Willie Rushton died of complications after a heart operation on 11 December 1996".  Could he have died "of complications" more than 20 days later? How can the date of death be found?

replies: text: Once source for dating things is Google Groups, which contains an archive of Usenet posting, that you can search as you can webpages through Google Itself.  Searching for Willie Rushdon died, I found a few references to his death on the 11th and 12th.  All point to the 11th being the day, and pretty much rule out a death in '97.  The references are these, from alt.obituaries, alt.games.mornington.cresent, and alt.callahans:   .  These confirm that there were reports of his death on or around the 11th at least.  You might be able to find news reports of the day from the Internet Archive.  Silverfish 00:54, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
Wille Rushton wasn't a founder member of ISIHAC.  Graeme and Tim were founder members, but the other panelists for the first few episodes were variously Bill Oddie, Jo Kendal and John Cleese. Clair 09:16, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the Sly and the Family Stone songs category because the band never released or recorded it. It was recorded by Sly and appears on the Precious Stone: In The Studio With Sly Stone 1963-1965 compilation released by Ace in 1994 *. Sly demoed the song a good year and a half at least before Sly & The Family Stone was formed. Correct me if I'm wrong but just because Sly demoed it, doesn't mean it should be classed as a song for the band. Karl Twist (talk) 09:33, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Coral Castle

message: Hi guys.  I have been confused about various sources talking about Homestead and about census designations, and then someone had changed this article to place Coral Castle in Leisure City which is even more contrary to all general published articles on the subject.  I looked it up on Google Maps, where you can see the icon for Coral Castle appearing within the outline of Leisure City. I know some historical locations can be quasi-rural, so I emailed the museum staff at the address listed on coralcastle.com and she very kindly and immediately replied,
I looked up the address on the county's public property records site where you can see that the property address and mailing address are each in "Miami, FL" and not "Homestead" or "Leisure City", which when combined with the general proximity awareness of Homestead and Leisure City, lets the observer deduce that it's obviously actually county property. And the past references to "Homestead" are typical rural shorthand meaning "the closest city of the day is Homestead a stone's throw away" and it's today's GPS shorthand for convenience. So I don't have an exact source to cut through misconceptions, but I synthesized the prose in such a way to avoid WP:OR nonetheless.  It's basic GIS data that's obvious to some people and publicly available, although other misleading stuff exists. — Smuckola(talk) 02:49, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Final location is Miami-Dade County, not Homestead or Leisure City 

message: Never encountered the term "short ton" before.  There is the ton (2,000 pounds), and the long ton (2,240 pounds).  Using the term "short ton" instead of just "ton" interrupts the flow of the article and makes it awkward to read.  
It's like reading an article about currency that calls a nickel a "half dime" every time it occurs.
Also, there should be some mention of how the castle was constructed -- the article says essentially nothing about that.

message: Some knowledgeable contributor needs to write about the most critical feature (other than rank and pay) that distinguishes the SES from the GS cadre.
That is job security.
When the SES was instituted in the 1970s, the idea was that the SES would have higher pay, but be much easier to remove if they failed to perform.
Looking at the VA scandal now, it appears that the Secretary is powerless to remove SESers.  What is the correct story?  A good answer would make this article much more useful to concerned readers.
Also, when you talk about the depts and agency's that are exempt from the SES schedule, you should add that most of those on the list have equivalent or partly equivalent schedules.  For example the CIA and NSA have the SIS, which is the same thing under a different name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.245.86 (talk) 12:45, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Tazir

message: I have removed the reference to imprisoning debtors here. Debtors could be imprisoned in pre-modern Muslim societies, but this was not a taʿzīr penalty. It's a separate concept - debt is not an offense. The reference was also wrong because it specified insolvent debtors. If someone was insolvent they could not be imprisoned. The point of prison was to coerce them into paying, so there's no point in doing it if they genuinely can't pay. Only solvent debtors who refused to pay were imprisoned.
I also removed the last few sentences because they were not relevant to the section: they covered evidence, not punishments. In addition, the reference to "prosecution" is anachronistic (there was no such thing in pre-modern Islamic law), and the citation to Rapoport (non-Maliki judges referring offenders to Maliki judges) concerns the hadd offense of apostasy, not a ta'zir offense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.219.120.212 (talk) 11:34, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Hornby Island

message: After much internal debate, I finally decided to merge the content I found at Hornby Island British Columbia and Hornby Island, Canada into a single article at Hornby Island. The factors/conclusions, in no particular order are: A) that was where the most internal links were pointed, B) there wasn't enuf content to necessitate separate articles for the community and the island (and they're so small I doubt there's enuf to say that it will get to big) C) neither original article was quite at a correct name. D) there didn't seem to be another notable "Hornby Island"--there may be a much lesser known one in the Bahamas, but since it doesn't have an article no disambiguation is necessary for now.
If someone thinks the subject would be better served by trying to separate the island from the community, and thinks neither deserves primary disambiguation, the proper titles would be Hornby Island (British Columbia) and Hornby Island, British Columbia, respectively (both of which I've made redir here for the time being), with Hornby Island becoming a disamb page (which of the two new names this page should be moved to would depend on which of the two topics are more reflected in the page history).

Cuz in my place the channel that airs TNA wrestling, airs a show that shows Classic and old
matches of TNA, but that does NOT mean that TNA itself produced it, cuz the channel did. So, i want all you to know that you should ONLY add shows that has been produced by the WWE itself.--T00C00L 14:41, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Fleischman

message: How is this nonsense? The Journey (band) page indicates that Robert Fleischman was the band's lead singer. Pburka 03:25, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
"I was pleased to find that Robert Fleischman had a wikipedia page. Over the last two years I've added lots of links and information, whilst leaving intact what was written by the page's originator."--Anonymous IP address
:Thank you very much for your continuing contribution. You seem to be editing in good faith, and you seem to have a lot of information about Robert Fleischman to add to the page. Please continue to do so. However, please consider the following suggestions:
:1. Use a neutral point of view (NPOV). Some of your edits, especially pertaining to Fleischman's leave-taking from Journey, seem designed to promote Fleischman and defend the singer from the criticism leveled by Herbie Herbert and official Journey publications like the Time (Cubed) insert. While many of us (myself included) may share your opinion that Fleischman got a raw deal, the opinion cannot be presented as fact; the closest we can come to that is presenting both sides and noting the controversy.
:2. No more than one wikilink to Journey in the text, please.
:3. Use "Fleischman" instead of "Robert" when referring to the singer by only one name.
:4. Please ensure that everything you reference is actually in the reference. The ref for his "phantom" comment did not include mention of any such statement.
:5. Consider the length of the article when adding a new story. If this were a longer biography of Fleischman, the appearance at the Hollywood Walk of Fame would merit a paragraph of text. But this is (currently, anyway) a very brief bio on the singer; the story merits much shorter mention, and, in my opinion, only as a reference for the statement that he continues to enjoy a good relationship with the Journey band members.
:6. Lastly, consider creating a user name on Wikipedia, if only so that all of your edits appear to be written by the same person rather than several different anonymous IP addresses. That will also help you as the screws tighten on the Wikipedia policy on biographies of living persons, because people using anonymous IP addresses will have increasing difficulty making such edits. You do not have to use your name as I do.
:Thanks again!

message: We do not in general categorize people by the language they sang in if it is the primary language of their country of origin.  Thus we will only place American singers in language categories other than English.  This is in part because even a singer such as Salena, who sang many of her most popular songs in Spanish, also sang in English.

Template talk:Infobox television episode

message: Apologies for the possibly stupid question: how do you remove the automatically created episode link list in this template? Looking at Finale (Neighbours), and all other episode articles from that series, it links to a redirect to the main series page, so would be good to remove. I notice that Pretty Baby.... and etc. from EastEnders have managed to remove the link, but I can't figure out how this was achieved (there is a blank episode_list field in the infobox, but I can't replicate the effect). However it's done, could this be added to the documentation? U-Mos (talk) 21:35, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it is automatically finding List of Neighbours episodes and creating the link (List of EastEnders episodes does not exist which is why a link is not being created for those articles).
