Talk:Springfield Model 1855

message: I removed (among other things) a claim that royalty payments to Maynard contributed to the decision to abandon the Maynard primer and go back to the percussion lock. This particular claim was not cited, and everything I have ever read about the Model 1855 cites the lack of reliability of the Maynard Primer as the reason for its abandonment. If anyone can find a cite regarding royalties I will gladly add it back into that section.

message: The CPI is on a different scale, and it should be about 10x larger for visibility - however it may be redundant - if it only serves to document the source of the difference between the other two lines, then it might be better to remove it outright. Scaling it up would make its shape clearer, but may tend to obscure the primary information in the graph.  184.147.227.237 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 19:25, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Palomar (band)

message: Regarding the question of notability for the subject of the Palomar (band) page:
Palomar has had releases on an inependent label "with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable" (the Self-Starter Foundation.) Also, Palomar has "been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble" including Ptichfork, Austin Chronicle, Big Takeover Magazine and the Tripwire. Also, Palomar has completed multiple tours, including national U.S. tours in the years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, including a tour with nationally known group Mates of State in 2003. Palomar meets requirement numbers 1, 4 and 5 under the criteria for notability for musicians/ensembles. Beyond this, Palomar is a working band influencial in the Brooklyn indie rock scene, with a strong live presence and fan base in their area.Logan brennan 03:11, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bishop Castle

message: Ok. So I changed,
"He has faced numerous challenges with the local and state government over ownership and activities on the site."
to
"In 1996, he was challenged by the local and state government over unsanctioned road signs that pointed to the site. They settled the dispute by issuing official road signs."
The originally referenced article says:
"The highway department didn't like Bishop's highway signs giving directions to the castle, about 16 miles northwest of Rye and about 25 miles southwest of Pueblo. After much acrimony, there now is a state-approved sign pointing to the site."
The change was reverted by Hell in a Bucket with reason: non sourced specifics. Could someone inform me what that means? I attempted to make the sentence more accurate compared to what it was before...Dlpolanco (talk) 02:38, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Fightin' Texas Aggie Band/Archive 2

message: As much as I like the band, I am not sure why wikiproject Texas ranked the band as "top" importance side by side with Texas A&M University.  It seems to fit better with the mids.
Mid Subjects fills in more minor details
    * Unique notable cultural, sport and entertainment traditions and celebrations
    * Folklore
    * Minor geographic and geological sites
    * Major architectural landmarks
    * Cities/Towns 10,000 - 49,999
    * Former federal and statewide politicians; sitting mayors

thread_title: Importance

message: In an attempt to address some concerns, I'd like to talk about each of your changes
*"...traditional marches and Aggie fight songs, are so complicated and precise that computer marching simulations say some of them cannot..." Our "fight songs" (we only have one song that is a "fight song" and we prefer to say we don't have a fight song...we have a war hymn!) ARE traditional marches. Though, true: it is "some" - I kept that for clarification. Good catch.
*"at the time, an all-male military school." Doesn't add anything to the discussion and doesn't pertain to anything other than the history of the school, which is explained in detail in the provided link.
*"at A&M" it was not called A&M until later (1930s or so). It was AMC then.
*"Aggie War Hymn" EXCELLENT ADD!!!
*"(and later, computer simulations)" This is addressed in the next sentence.
*"Kyle Field's" Note the apostrophe de-links the "s". As stated in WP:MoS, it should be done in the manner already used.
*Removal of "all drills". Please note that they still use whistle commands for parades, so "all drills" is necessary
*"After another whoop," kept

message: I placed the qualifier "by locals" at the end of the lede, since all of the references in this article are from San Francisco area media. Wong is unlikely to be written about, let alone called the "world's rudest waiter" in other areas of the world. If there were national or international gastronomy publications that described Wong, I'd feel differently, but as it is, I feel we should comment on it in the lede. Thoughts? Cmprince 21:06, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The source simply say that he is known for being the world's rudest waiter and don't limit the scope of their comments to his being locally famous.  In fact, he was internationally known even if he is a local phenomenon.  The people promoting that designation - Herb Caen, Armistead Maupin (and via him the BBC), and guidebook and travelogue writers - were read and repeated worldwide.  We could do a survey of sources and find the ones that are or are not local, which would be WP:OR.  What would be most accurate is that he was promoted to the world by the restaurant and by widely read authors as the world's worst waiter, an idea that caught on.  I don't think it's really worth it to get that detailed in the introductory sentence about the nature of his fame.  Better to simply say that his tag / nickname was "world's worst waiter" and leave it to the body of the article to say what that is all about.  Wikidemo 23:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The information that was provided about the area being mostly projects and lower income housing is NOT TRUE. Drugs and guns are part of every community in America school shootings in suburbs and use of opioids throughout.  The residents owned their own single family homes in that area of Port Tampa. This neighborhood was a strong community that consisted of blacks that owned businesses or worked good paying jobs in the railroad, United States military, oil refineries: Gulf Oil, Standard Oil, Shale Oil; Long Shoreman on the docks. One of the residents, Mrs. Daisy Rawls had the first food cart businesses serving the port companies until she moved and purchased her own shop and sold goods.  (Many of the children learned trades after high school and or attended college. Like many other areas the young left for other parts of the country for education and job opportunities.) Therefore, there were many professionals that were produced out of that neighborhood. Port Tampa produced engineers, doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, nurses and educators. The first black female, Theresa Manuel, track Olympian of Florida was from Port Tampa, 1948 US Track Team. The first black surgeon of Tampa General was Symuel Smith, MD. He attended medical school in St. Louis, MO and returned to Tampa to work. One the descendants of Port Tampa is Dr Kandace Farmer (Radiologists) currently she is the first black female to be appointed to the Texas Medical Board, and is currently the vice president. In an interview she talks how spent summers in Port Tampa with her dads family. Her uncles were doctors and her mother a PhD inspired her to go on to be a physician. Her cousin attended Harvard, the Stanford for law school, and finished at Oxford for PhD studies. Another one of her cousins is a University of Florida engineer. They all spent summers in Port Tampa with the grand parents, aunts and uncles.  There are many stories that are kept quiet because sometimes opportunity can be thwarted from people of color when attention is brought. (See Black Wallstreet Tulsa, Ok Greenwood)  It is sad but any black there always a negative  narrative with black communities, but there is strength in those  areas based from the churches and strong families trying to live their best lives while becoming equal citizens in our country. 2600:1700:571:1D90:2DFE:B61E:285D:9689 (talk) 17:08, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
