Talk:Radio Luxembourg (disambiguation)

message: In order to clean-up this article according to Wikipedia standards it has become necessary to create a disambiguation page here in order that other articles bearing the name of "Radio Luxembourg" can be created. The original article contained a lot of misleading or totally incorrect information. To begin with three Radio Luxembourg entries have been listed for English, French and German, but of course there are/were more. The original article is now Radio Luxembourg (English) at this link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fragilethreads (talk • contribs) 01:45, February 17, 2007

thread_title: Disambiguation and clean-up

message: Cause what my grandma and we listened to as kids in Luxemburg, every day, sure as hell was no German or Dutch or French, but Luxemburgish!
(Note that in Luxemburg, it is normal for newspapers to have articles in Luxemburgish, French or German mixed, sometimes even in the same article, e.g. citations. And on the normal Luxemburgish radio, people can just casually speak French or German without dubbing or translation. That does not make it German or French! The deciding factor is the dominant language among moderators.)

thread_title:  Nominees 

message: As noted in the article Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, for the first couple decades, the Award was actually Best Special Effects. The name encompassed more than just visual effects. During those early years the award was given to teams that included at least one "photographic" person and one "sound" person. So labeling the award as Best Visual Effects is both an anachronistic misnomer, but misses that the award was aimed at choosing the best film in terms of combined visual AND sound effects. Therefore, I'm going to the change the name of the award in those years (such as the 12th Academy Awards) where the award named was actually Best Special Effects. I will keep the same wikilink though. There is no separate article for the Best Special Effects Award. Rather, those awards are including in the Best Visual Effects article. --JamesAM (talk) 23:42, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I made this edit because it seemed weird for the intro to talk about an award for visual effects having been given for the first time, and then the article mentioning the award as being for special effects. Mathew5000 (talk) 20:56, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Ettelbruck

message: according to this ettelbruck is named after attila the hun. i didnt want to actually edit this page, since im not 100% convinced by that. anyone have any more information? Teutanic 19:44, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I really couldn't say if it's correct for sure, but it does seem very likely.  Etzel is an alternative (and, historically, the dominant) name for Atilla in German.  Presumably, therefore, 'Ettelbruck' refers to the bridge that Attila took across the Sauer on his way to his conquest of Gallia Belgica.  More obviously, Attila certainly gives his name to FC Etzella Ettelbruck, the football club from the town.  Bastin 02:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  A Place in the Sun 

message: In her first autobiography, Shelley Winters recounts that at the ceremony, she had been conditioned by so many people's certainty that she would win the award that when Ronald Colman — her co-star in 'A Double Life' — got up to read the name, she was certain her name had been read. She got halfway to the stairs before her date, future husband Vittorio Gassman, managed to stop her with the news Vivien Leigh had won instead. I consider it an interesting story worth having in the article, but with the article being such a bare-bones affair at the moment, it would almost seem like one of those "references in pop culture" sections we've been trying to do away with over the years.

Talk:Wiltz

message: Am rather surprised that there is absolutely no mention of the 28th Division and the role that one of its soldiers to bring cheer to the entire village by portraying St. Nicholas.
Especially considering how important the town considers it and the ceremony/tradition that has sprung up around the event of 5 December 1944.  And also considering that the person/soldier who portrayed St. Nick was recently awarded Luxembourg's highest military honor.
If you need further proof of the importance of this historical event, either read the book "The American St. Nick" or watch the documentary of the same name or GOOGLE it.  2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 00:06, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  "The American St. Nick" 

message: The link at the very end of the "History" section to Eschweiler links to Eschweiler, Germany.  This is clearly incorrect, and must be a confusion with Eschweiler, Luxembourg.  
I don't know anything about editing in Wikipedia, so I must leave that to others.  I lived in Luxembourg for 8 months in the 1980s, and visited both Wiltz and Eschweiler several times.  I do not know about recent political issues such as Wiltz absorbing Eschweiler, but certainly if Wiltz absorbed Eschweiler it was the Eschweiler that is a little north of Wiltz, not Eschweiler, Germany which is approximately 90 km away and across the border.

Talk:Districts of Luxembourg

message: At Talk:District is a list that shows that the format "X District" is overwhelmingly used. Only Germany, Austria, Switzerland use "X (district)" partially, and Luxembourg uses it for all. In Luxembourgish and German the districts of Luxembourg are called "Distrikt X" in French "District de X". The word "District" could be considered part of the name. Translation from de, lb, fr yields "District of X" or "X District". I suggest to use "X District", since in the English WP it is more common for article names than "District of X".

Talk:2004 European Parliament election in Luxembourg

message: I really vehemently disagree with this merger. I have three reasons for doing so:
# The discussion is not finished on the Talk:Elections in the European Union. There is no consensus there, my issues are not addressed
# The merger leads to loss of valuable data (in this case which MEP were elected) and inhibits the addition of new information about this election: just look at the introduction of European Parliament election, 2004 (United Kingdom) to see what usefull information one could add (polls, issues, etc.)
# The merging this now only leads to cloggery and complication as f.i. the  still thinks these articles exists.

thread_title: Or this.

message: As regular viewers of the Academy Award pages will know, the layout for the awards from this page up to the 49th Awards are in a plain bullet-point format, whereas all the others are in a nice neat two-column table. I've changed this one to the table layout, and plan to do the same for the others over the coming weeks. Apologies for not beginning discussion on this before going ahead, but I assume since the majority are in this format, and the bullet-point ones are less complete anyway, the table layout would generally be the preferred option.
If anyone feels like helping me out with this task, or has any constructive comments to make, they would be most welcome.

Talk:George Bradshaw

message: Bradshaw's date of birth appears to be misquoted in many books and on many websites, he was born 29th July 1800 (not 1801).  His gravestone states that he was 53 when he died in September 1853, this concurs with the baptism entry in the Windsor New Chapel registry, where he was Christened in 1802, which clearly states "born 29th July 1800".

message: I have to admit to finding Wiki's rating system way over my head. However I will say an article about Bradshaw is totally justified. I have edited one word (so far) and that is important. The first Bradshaw was the first compilation of railway timetables. There had been railway timetables before. It's obvious there were and various books show these like Train & Transport showing an 1835 Stockton & Darlington one. I have an 1838 Grand Junction one headed Time Table in Cornish's guide. Should anyone be able to input a more exact last date (exact day) for the last 1961 Bradshaw that would be helpful. Robertforsythe 14:24, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
