Talk:Course (sail)

message: Edited a bit for clarification. - Dastal 18:38, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I've never heard a sailor refer to the "fore-course". Indeed, I cannot immediately think of hearing any reference to a singular "course", only the plural "courses" to refer to the foresail and mainsail, etc. Would anyone object to the article being modified to suggest that the latter would be the customary term to specify an individual sail? Czrisher (talk) 18:35, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. I have always heard foresail and mainsail, and courses when referring to the two collectively.

replies: text: Well I disconcur :-). On the square-rigged ships I've sailed in, they've always been forecourse and maincourse, and I've never heard foresail and mainsail. Indeed, while mainsail is of course commonplace on any fore-and-after, the only folks with foresails that I know are the West Country luggers pining for the mainmasts they left ashore when they turned from smuggling to fishing. (For the 200 years since, they've had a foremast and a mizzenmast but no mainmast, and the big lugsail most people would call a mainsail they huffily refer to as their foresail.) That's the thing about sailing terms - they're always a bit fluid across both time and place, so while you have a foresail tack and I have a forecourse tack, we're both right in our own sailing circles. 93.97.184.230 (talk) 23:38, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Both terms are correct. The -course terms are specific, whereas the -sail terms vary in meaning depending on rig. Martocticvs (talk) 10:39, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Harold J. Stone

message: His role as Jake on the TV series The Goldbergs (1949-1953, and no relation to the current series), succeeding the blacklisted Philip Loeb and preceding Robert J. Harris, should be mentioned along with his other TV roles. 76.199.2.139 (talk) 16:11, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a reference for his role in The Goldbergs and added that (and several other roles as a regular on TV) to the article. I don't know why so many of his roles as a regular had been omitted, while the article went into detail about single appearances on many programs. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:27, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  As Jake Goldberg 

message: I have changed the infobox and text to show Jean as his first wife's name. That is consistent with the cited Los Angeles Times obituary, which says, "In 1960, his first wife, Jean, died, ..." An editor had changed the name, with the edit summary saying "Corrected longtime wife's name to agree with her FindaGrave info." Unfortunately, Find a Grave is a user-generated site that "is generally unacceptable". (See WP:USERGENERATED.) If a reliable source can be found to support a different name, then that should be noted by adding a citation to the text. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:57, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Bogdan

message: People, I suggest this page to be replaced by the newly-written and widerBogdan (disambiguation). I did my best to include info from here.
However, I believe the following links don't belong to either page:
*Bogdan Filov, Bulgarian politician 
*Bogdan Petriceicu-Hasdeu, Romanian philologist 
*Bogdan Raczynski, Polish musician 
You should agree they're irrelevant, unlike Moldovian and Ukrainian rulers. E.g. John doesn't refer to anybody except persons named just John (like St.John). If the authors tend to stress the importance of those three Bogdans, some List of notable Bogdans is possible solution :).
I didn't dare to edit this page without discussion. But I will if nobody objects in a week. Best wishes, AlexPU

thread_title: Kate Moss

message: The nature of this list is bound to be based on gossip articles on news papers until such time as it is written up in a history book. I have now found newspaper sources for the list before I edited it:
* Holly Davidson,   Sadie Frost, Rhys Ifans, Jude Law, Steven MacKintosh, Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Kate Moss, Sean Pertwee, Davinia Taylor
With the exception of Steven MacKintosh (I have deleted that link).
I have also added others who are listed in those sources as notable members. They all already had articles with the exception of "Annabelle Neilson" and "Meg Mathews". Both had article stubs written for them but both have been deleted. In the case of "Annabelle Neilson" her obituary in the NYT and other newspapers gives enough information that Neilson was notable, however for the moment I edited the redirect Annabelle Neilson that exists to this article. In the case of Meg Mathews I do not think that currently there is enough on her to warrant an article, so I have created a redirect to a paragraph about her in in her ex-husbands article.
While looking for a connection between Steven MacKintosh and Primrose Hill, I noticed that a number of unreliable sources have coped the version of this article before I edited it which started "". As can be see from the sources I have placed in the article, this is misleading as many of the set were musicians and models etc. The popularity of Wikipedia and the ease in which its text can be legally propagated inevitably means that it is used as a source. If as in this case statements are made without a reliable source to back them up, it is very easy for false original research to be spread around the net (which is why we have WP:CHALLENGE and WP:BURDEN in the verifiability  policy).

If an image is needed for that particular story arc, then 1) it should be something that illustrates the full relationship, this doesn't, it's just the end result; and 2) it should be properly captioned, this one could be, but it would have to explain the missing aspects.

replies: text: This is incredibly messy because the 1960s Captain America comics weren't following 1940s continuity to the letter. Peggy Carter was a 1960s creation who to some extent took over the role of Betsy Ross in the original stories (perhaps because using that name would have caused a lot of confusion with a character in the Hulk stories). Just to add to the mess, there's an "Agent 13" in Tales of Suspense #64, one of the first of the stories to retell the war years, but at the time there was no explicitly connection to Ross or Carter despite the latter's sister using the code name in the present day. And there's apparently an "Agent Zero", a blonde British agent, in a 1940s story. Later writers have no doubt tied some of these characters into the same person but things were different at the time.
