Talk:Snooker world rankings 1982/1983

message: A few news reports from 1982 report the wrong points total for Reardon, e.g. The Guardian, Hull Daily Mail and Western Daily Press (19 May) all credit him with 11 points. The totals in the article's table, as reported in the June 1982 issue of Snooker Scene, appear to tally with the actual results and points tariff. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:28, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Walthamstow Market

message: This is one of many high streets and High Street (ward) appropriates the term for this particular one. 
Walthamstow  Market is not exactly the same thing as the High Street Ward, but the Ward is not notable in its own right. Walthamstow Market is well known and worth expanding upon. It is unlikely that the Ward article will be developed further and anything that does not properly belong here, can go into Walthamstow.
The Shops part of the content was taken from Walthamstow, where it has been reinstated.

thread_title: Proposed merge with [[High Street (ward)]]

message: Is there a better source for Walthamstow Market being the longest outdoor market in Europe? Since there is at least one other (daily, 6d/w) market with a claim of being the largest in Europe, the Albert Cuyp Market in Amsterdam, there should be a better source than the Borough of Waltham Forest for this claim. Furthermore the claim could only reasonably apply for daily markets (I assume that 5d/w is enough to qualify for daily market), there are surely longer markets at annual or one-time-events.
Since the borough, the organization that is administering the market and the only mentioned source, states "over 350 pitches", the claim in the lemma of "about 500 stalls" is untrustworthy.

message: Hi, I think this page needs editing.
I don't think "Chiko Roll" for example should be here.

Australia does have some history with invention but some of this stuff seems a bit trivial.

Talk:Professional studies

message: Since there is multiple academic offerings for many years now in what is so-called professional studies, and nobody has inputted an entry to clarify it or a least to define it as yet, obviously until now, it seems important to explain what professional studies are, We could help our WikiReaders to find this information; for instance, specifically what are the differences between Bachelors or Masters of science in Information Technology and Bachelors or Master of professional studies on  Information Technology? Why should any prospect student decide for enrolling in the latter or why in the former? What insights or skills she/he will be getting, when opting for one or the other? I think Wikipedia readers, and by extension anyone, would benefit for such a general introduction and explanation to this kind of soft academic "prefix" so often used but very little or not too well explained term: Professional Studies, at least in here. -Veritas Longa 14:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Asta's Book

message: I created a redirect from "Anna's Book" -- but some editor refused to allow it, claiming it looked like a test edit and that it was unnecessary.  Both claims are false.  It is needed, because "Anna's Book" is the title of the book as published in the USA.  When I had at first typed that in in the search box, I didn't see the book.  Only by going outside of Wik (to Amazon), did I discover that the book had a different name in the original GB version.  Wik users shouldn't have to do this.

Talk:Bill Thomas (Australian footballer)

message: Hi, I am going to add a Refimprove|date=June 2009 tab - whilst I am unsure of what citation standards apply to sportspeople, this person is also of interest for his discovery of the body of a serial killer victim, and it seems to me unusual to the point of improbable (though certainly not impossible) that a ninety-two-year-old man should be out in the fields mushrooming in an area so remote as to be the first to discover a corpse that had laid unnoticed by younger, fitter people for eighteen months. There are plenty of references saying a person named William Thomas discovered the body (e.g. ), but little evidence to say it was Bill Thomas the footballer. Of course he may have just been an incredibly spritely 92 year-old man but there are many levels of improbability there, so any credible reference to bolster this statement would allay any doubts.

I am right now looking at a letter that Cecil Spring Rice wrote to the Duke of Connaught in 1914, and he seems to have spelled his name without a hyphen.  Should the title of this article be changed?  142.78.200.17 (talk) 18:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The Spring Rice family surname is not, and never has been, hyphenated. I appreciate that some current (National Portrait Gallery) and contemporary (some London Gazette) sources do not show this. However, Spring Rice's own letters and writings show that he never spelt his own name with a hyphen, and this is also recorded in Stephen Gwynn's comprehensive 1929 collection of his work (see link here). The memorial plaques to Spring Rice at Aira Force and Watermillock church, erected by members of his family shortly after his death, do not include a hyphen (see picture 1 and picture 2).  There are also many London Gazette entries which show the name unhyphenated (see example). Any recording of his surname with a hyphen is erroneous. WatermillockCommon (talk) 15:57, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Selective Service Act of 1917

message: "When the United States first entered World War I, the total size of the US army was around 110,000. [2]
Considering that the total number of casualties in WWII was more than 115,000, it is clear that more troops were needed in the United States military."
Does this confuse anyone else? I think that going from the beginning of WWI to the end of WWII is an extremely confusing analogy, because so much changed within those 30-some years, including US population and military strength.

message: I think this article needs an overhaul.  The last edit had poor grammar and was false (e.g., Sanguines aren't near as angry all the time as Cholerics, whose colour is yellow, and Phlegmatics (Blue Quarter) aren't as spiritual as Melancholics, whose colour is green.  Other than that, plot summary is missing/weak, and there is no mention of the integration of psychology.  If no one plans to rework the article, then I will.

thread_title: Overhaul

message: What really needs to be done is (a) shortening the part of the plot summary which is already there, and (b) continuing the section from where the summary breaks off. As Divided Kingdom has rightly been called a picaresque novel, I wonder if it is necessary to follow each and every step the protagonist takes (and to mention each of the characters he meets on his way). Also, there is no hint yet in the article that this is of course also a dystopian novel. After all, the book is mentioned in our List of dystopian literature. <KF> 19:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:E (novel)

message: I just finished reading this today (and not for the first time). In my version, there are SIX models for the shoot on Mauritius (one breast implant explosion, one case of heatstroke, two injured in a jetski accident, and two down with botulism poisoning). I'd go in and just fix the number, but another discrepancy in the plot summary makes me wonder if there were two different printings in which some details were changed...
...the other detail being the identity of the famous woman who gets assaulted by the client on Mauritius. The article as it stands says it's "television presenter Gloria Hunniford", makes reference to the "Hunniford Affair", and goes into detail about her being there to shoot a BBC holiday show. In the version of the book I own, the woman is Ivana Trump and she is on Mauritius purely as a vacation.
Both are some pretty major, plot-significant differences that would involve more than the author just changing a couple words here and there. I can see why the Ivana Trump change might have been made but changing the number of models is inexplicable. If two different versions of the book were released, with different details, I think that's also worth noting in the article. Does anyone know? Mine is the October 2000 printing by Plume, an imprint of Penguin Putnam.
Finally, I've added Harriet Greenbaum to the list of characters as she plays a fairly major role, but I confess I don't know what her job title is.76.251.233.231 (talk) 23:45, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
