Talk:List of MPs elected in the 1754 British general election

message: Following a message from Choess I did some more research in the biographical part of The House of Commons 1754-1790.
I have checked the tangled web of the Powlett family: Lord Harry Powlett (1691-1759), brother of the 3rd Duke of Bolton, was re-elected MP for Hampshire in the 1754 general election. On 26 August 1754 he became 4th Duke of Bolton. His son, Sir Charles Powlett K.B. (1718-65), acquired the courtesy title of Marquess of Winchester on his father's succession to the Dukedom. He gave up his previous seat at Lymington, to be elected MP for Hampshire on 25 December 1754 (they must have been dedicated to public service to hold even an uncontested election on Christmas Day). Winchester retained the Hampshire seat until he became 5th Duke of Bolton on 9 October 1759. The 5th Duke's younger brother, Lord Harry Powlett (1720-94), had not contested the 1754 general election. He was elected MP for Lymington in 1755, to replace his brother. Powlett became 6th Duke of Bolton on 5 July 1765. --Gary J 19:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah! How dumb of me! Rayment's list is correct-I just missed noticing that Charles' election was a by-election in December, rather than the general election. And Charles' father was, of course, still Lord Harry Powlett at the time of the general. Sorry to put you to trouble over that. Choess 19:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, a picture of the 2nd Duke is needed.  Pictures are available, but not for use on Wikipedia.Why not? What is there to hide about the truth? Why does the British government delete the TRUTH from Wikipedia - because, they have too much to hide and they are the biggest fraudsters and liars in the history of mankind - the British governments and its gchq.

Talk:Ninja Gaiden Sigma

message: why cant it be on Xbox360?
_________
Because Ninja Gaiden 2 will be on Xbox360
Sigma is just an improved version of Black for Xbox, what would be the point of releasing it for 360?
Can a remake of an Xbox game really be considered a PS3 exclusive?
Duh, of course it can, there's LOTS of new material for being a remake. Really, all textures, animations, models and so on is completely new.
A prime example would be the Resident Evil remake for Gamecube back in the day.  It was a version of the original, but it was exclusive to the platform.  Had Sigma been a mere port like Resident Evil 2, 3, and CODE Veronica for the GC, then you would've had a point.
Actually I just got down with the demo and no the new textures animations and models are not new just upgraded to HD. Im sorry but who is going to pay $60 for this title? 68.226.119.201 04:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Alvan Graham Clark

message: "...he made the first observation of Sirius B in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts." 
One assumes that it was not Sirius B in Cambridgeport but the observer although this could then read as if Clark were the first in Cambridgeport to observe Sirius B. For the sake of clarity the place name ought to be located nearer the start of the sentence, ie before stating what Clark did. (Letting 'Sirius B' end the sentence would also heighten the importance of the deed.)
"The 18½ inch refracting telescope is now still being used at the landmark Dearborn..."
'Now' implies that the telescope has recently been moved to the landmark Dearborn... from another site where it may or may not have been in use. 'Still' suggests that it has been in continuous use at Dearborn if not from the first at least for quite some time. Which word should be omitted to give the correct meaning?

message: Because relationships don't confer notability and J.H. does not seem to have much notability of her own based on the current article, I'm recommending a merge to Edward Hopper.   Mbinebri  talk ← 18:12, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm against merging. She was an artist in her own right, even if overshadowed by her husband. She is important at the very least as an influence on him (which the article has yet to cover, I'll try to expand later) and as diarist whose work is indispensable for Hopper scholars. Furthermore, Wikipedia already has countless examples such as Anna Magdalena Bach (wife of Johann Sebastian Bach, not a composer, not a notable performer in her own time), Saskia van Uylenburgh (Rembrandt's wife, not a painter, not notable otherwise), and others, of articles on wives of great men. --Jashiin (talk) 19:32, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

text: I'm also against merging; she had an identity of her own, or should have had. It's an old story, a woman putting her husband first; let's not perpetuate her husband's dominance over her.  Sounds like Jo's full story has yet to be told.  Her influence on her husband's work is in my view notable in itself, and it also sounds like her work was not given a fair appraisal by the Whitney.  The fact that Edward Hopper felt competitive with Jo is evidence that her work is underrated and worthy of reappraisal, if any of it survives.  Let Jo be Jo.

Talk:Memento pattern

message: ----
Also, did someone seriously state on here that C# and Java are "identical languages"? I'm not starting a flame war, but I know both well and they are so fundamentally different that to even suggest that is absurd. Learn more about the history and modifications of the language over the years it has been around and the differences become extreme from that of Java (btw, C# is a mix of Java and C++, however no one compares C# to C++) or just visit this site http://rapidapplicationdevelopment.blogspot.com/2013/10/c-isnt-java-learning-via-katas-part-1.html. Having the Java example stay and the C# example go is baseless (i.e. there is no evidence of superiority of either language neither in usage statistics nor in functionality, they are two completely different languages if you actually know them, and the only reason for C# example to go seems to be because the Java code was written first before the C# code was - which is not a strong reason).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.2.35.214 (talk) 17:53, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

message: The general manager of the Yankees in 1989 was Bob Quinn. Thrift was Senior Vice President.  This is verifiable via the New York Times historical archives.  
Neither was he was ever GM of the Orioles, though he effectively filled that function between 1999 and 2002.  Hence my use of de facto; it wasn't his job title and the article shouldn't make it seem as though it was. Dppowell 20:03, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, technically many GMs in recent years haven't had that precise job title; most are officially senior VPs, or VPs of baseball operations, or something similar, so I don't think using de facto is really necessary since the phrase would end up being used all the time. Whether or not they have that specific title, they are recognized as being the GM. And Thrift was only with the Yankees for part of 1989, anyway, so it's possible that both he and Quinn handled the GM responsibilities at some point in the year.
