message: I've redirected this title to the incident page, per merge discussions here and at the incident page.</br> 
However, there was nothing to merge; As is pointed out above, the only source of the biograhical content was a link to a fraternity magazine article, which is now unavailable, while the friendly fire incident content is already contained in full in the incident article. 
Also, as pointed out there, this qualifies as an article on a person notable for one event, and follows the treatment of the person who was killed in the incident.</br>

Talk:List of diplomatic missions of France

message: The guiding principle in these diplomatic missions by country articles is that we report according to how certain countries choose to certify their relationship.  This is consistent with Wikipedia's self-identification concept.  So in the Diplomatic missions of Kiribati article we mention it has an embassy in the Republic of China, even though only 20 other countries recognise Taiwan.  The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has its own article, even though it is only recognised by one country.  
If you want to change this policy and have it applied to the 180 articles already completed, please go to the International Relations project discussion page and present your arguments.

message: Cyprus is NOT part of Asia nor the Middle East. It is a part of Europe and the European Union. With a Greek-Cypriot population of 80%, majority Greek Orothox religion and Greek language there is NOTHING Middle Eastern about this island nation. Please refrain from placing it in Middle East category as it is NOT Middle Eastern. Same goes for Georgia and Armenia. Both are technically part of Europe as they lie north of the Caucus Mountain range. Anything south is considered part of Asia. Georgia is a possible candidate for EU Membership and Armenia has expressed interest in joing the organization within the next decade. Please refrain from adding these two former Soviet Republics with overall Christian populations to the Middle East. If you have something to discuss, do so on this page.
With regards to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, no nation on earth recognizes that country except Turkey. Turkey realizes that it's recognition of this country will affect its chances of joining the European Union.  --XLR8TION (talk) 20:46, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Requested move

message: The current text says:
 For the 1918 meeting, the French had specifically assembled the train with a special railcar which had once belonged to Napoleon III. The car was decorated with old Imperial emblems, redolent of past glories and mutely confirming the resurgence of French power after its defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. After the armistice of 1940, however, the railway carriage was remanded to Germany where it was eventually destroyed by SS troops in Crawinkel, Thuringia, in 1945, and the remains were buried.
The railcar belonging to Napoleon III and the one used for the talk and later remanded to Germany are in fact two different railcars. The railcar used for talks could not have been used by Napoleon III because according to all reliable accounts it was manufactured in 1913 by Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits which was only founded in 1872, two years after Napolean III's defeat.  
I think the confusion here was due to a misreading of the reference given in the text for
The Greatest Day in History.
A short search (for Napoleon) shows that Napoleon III's car was in fact just used to bring the German delegation to the site after they reached France, and that the talks themselves were held in the 1913 carriage.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaadir (talk • contribs) 22:46, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Ugly Hill

message: ~I just signed up for a wikipedia account tonight, the same night that news first reached me that the wiki entry for "ugly hill" was teetering on the cusp of deletion.  the actual discussion page has been semiprotected, so i cannot express my two cents there for another four days, and by then the page may have been deleted.
may i just say that, if i understand things properly, wikipedia has a policy stating that to retain an article ugly hill must be recognized by outside media.  but that stands in opposition to the primary reason i come to wikipedia.  if an enterprise was well documented in other media then i would have little need to look it up here, there would be countless of other sources to go to.  as a user built forum it lends itself to containing factoids that lean to the fringes of media.  i don't mean to say that i feel wikipedia should be a vast supercomputer, filled with every conceivable bit of information that ever was.
i'd rather read about webcomics in a magazine, but since i don't have that option i come here to research.
you may not care much, but i think that your policy is faulty, and may benefit from some careful revision.

A genuine Spitfire is massively more valuable - hence why it was removed and replaced by a fibreglass replica Hurricane.

Talk:WXBC (AM)

message: Current WXBC History
Actually, there was no radio station at Bard many years prior to 1978, possibly not since the early to mid 1950's. In 1978 as a freshman student attending Bard, I organized and led a small group of students, wrote a charter, and proposed how to fund and build the present AM radio station using vending machine proceeds.  We presented the proposal to Bard College President, Leon Botstein in the Spring of 1978 at one of the standing Thursday student-president tea meetings. I subsequently made an offer to Stu Shantz, general manager of Vassar college radio to purchase Vassar's common carrier transmitters for $10 USD each. Vassar was expanding to over-the-air FM broadcast and no longer had a need for their AM common-carrier transmitters. Vassar accepted and Stu went on to become a major radio personality for many years at WPDH-FM in Poughkeepsie, NY. In 1978 current day WXBC radio station went live. I still have in my possession the original copy of the charter and minutes of those founding meetings.  I later became chief engineer of WMCR-FM Marist College radio and then on the the American Broadcasting Companies (ABC) in NYC.
