Talk:John Butler (Ranger)

message: Was John Butler in Rogers Rangers during the F&I war?  I have a reference to a Lieutenent John Butler who was with the Rangers when they accepted the surrender of Detroit.  He was then dispatched to receive the surrender of Kekionga (modern Fort Wayne), and was relieved a year later, just in time to miss Pontiac's Rebellion.  I have to wonder if there's a connection between that John Butler and the man in this article. Mingusboodle (talk) 03:25, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Fat?

message: Most sources refer to John Butler as a Lieutenant Colonel, however, he did not obtain this rank until the Winter of 1780. Butler was commissioned Major Commandant of a "corps of rangers" in September 1778. When discussing the Battle of Wyoming or the Battle of Newtown he should be therefore be referred to as Major Butler. This makes it easier when writing about the Battle of Wyoming since Lieutenant Colonel Zebulon Butler commanded the American forces. John Butler was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Tryon County militia from 1772 until 1775, so many of his contemporaries used the rank as a "courtesy" title.
It is misleading to say that John Butler led the "Indians" at the Battle of Oriskany. In the summer of 1777, Butler persuaded the Seneca and Cayuga to abandon their neutrality and fight with the British. While Butler did lead his small contingent of Indian Department rangers at the battle, the indigenous forces were led by the Seneca war chiefs Sayenqueraghta and Cornplanter, and by the Mohawk war leader Thayendanegea (Joseph Brant). The ambush was a cooperative effort with Butler acting more as a liaison than as a commander. Griffin's Sword (talk) 22:04, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Halloweentown

message: I don't see a particular reason to add the paragraph
"The New Comer to the old Cast: Todd Michael Schwartzman".  He played Pete the Werewolf in the third movie ... but there was a large cast of new characters in the third movie.  Pete was not the most prominent or important of these.  When I first listed the cast the only obvious choices were to list only the family, or repeat the complete cast.  The complete cast is at IMDB.  If there's no strong argument for keeping Schwartzman in a section of his own, I expect to delete that on my next visit.  Thoughts?  Thanks.

message: So the book Lost in Shangri-La is about some folks who crashed a plane in a valley on New Guinea which was unhabited by uncontacted peoples and had only been discovered by the West in 1944.  It was called Hidden Valley and Shangri-La by Westerners.  Apparently it was in Netherlands New Guinea, now Papua (province) in Indonesia.  This 1998 report from one of the rescuers marks the valley as "about 120 miles south of Hollandia (Jayapura), just about in the middle of New Guinea", somewhere near the source of the Fly River.  The book (limited excerpts) mentions a village called Uwambo, of the Yali people.  I would like to map the valley and village, either to modern names, Wikipedia articles, or geographical coordinates, but am having difficulty doing so.  Wikipedia says the Yali live east of the Baliem Valley, and that this was discovered in 1938.  If anyone can plot this valley more precisely, your help would be appreciated. -- Beland (talk) 19:53, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some confusion over the album cover orientation, probably due to the orientation of the text on the album cover.
However if you see the original gatefold LP cover, you will see that Mick Fleetwood is oriented "normally" as you would expect in a photograph, and indeed the text runs up the left hand side of the cover.
This page discusses the cover in detail: http://www.britishbluesarchive.org.uk/Classic_Albums/Fleetwood_Mac_Mr_Wonderful/Fleetwood_Mac-MW.php
I'd like to rotate the current Wikimedia image for the cover, but I don't think I have adequate rights on the system. Could somebody else do it?

message: This section on the Saline Valley Road is completely unsourced. We need a citation for this content.
Saline Valley Road is a sporadically maintained dirt road running north–south through the length of the valley, and is the most commonly used access route. From SR 168 in the north to SR 190 in the south, it is 95 miles (153 km) long, and ranges in elevation from 1094 to 7593 feet (333 to 2314 m).  It goes through two mountain passes: the Inyo Mountains in the north, and the Nelson Range in the south.  The northern pass is higher, but is better maintained and is about 20 miles (30 km) closer to the hot springs.  One or both passes may be closed during the winter due to snow, ice, or washouts.  The "Road Closed" signs are often left in place year-round in an attempt to deter motorists who may not realize how treacherous the road is.  It is not a Park Service Road, and Inyo County is responsible for its maintenance.  The entire length of the road is passable by non-4WD vehicles under favorable conditions, but areas can be icy and impassable, and long stretches of road are extremely rough and surfaced by sharp-edged primitive rock gravel. High ground clearance, off-road tires, and mounted full-size spare tires are strongly recommended. Netherzone (talk) 22:30, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
