thread_title:  Bowling speed 

message: The article is misleading, and factually wrong, about the 1982/83 Ashes Series.  Whilst it correctly gives the first innings scores of Australia and England, it falsely states that Australia won the match by 8 wickets.  It was actually a drawn match.  It was the 2nd Test in Brisbane that Australia won by 8 wickets.  Australia won the 3rd Test in Adelaide, narrowly lost the 4th Test in Melbourne by 3 runs (correctly stated) and drew the final to win by 2-1.  The section makes it sound like Australia won 3-1.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.177.218.51 (talk) 05:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Reply to J Appleseed concern:
First let commend you or whoever initiated the article on me for the excellent job done.  In recent years I've been thrilled to be included in additional Hall of Fames.  My concern is an obligation to those who have put me in there with banquets and ceremonies, not being mentioned.  I would not want them to think I don't appreciate those honors as well.  The edit as mentioned on the Don Larsen call was only on the later highlight record made to shorten the piece to their time schedule.  The original is still heard on almost every other show.  It's flattering to know that you spent time on this piece.  It is much appreciated.  I do hope you allow me to update it as I've written it. ```` Bob Wolff  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.2.193.1 (talk) 18:23, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: History and geography

message: It all loks outlandishly improbable.
:"Hungarian maps based on the Gesta Hungarorum call it Kazárország which according to Simon of Keza was ruled (under Zvataplug son of Morout), by Morout's grandson Menumorout (Stallion of Morout). Morout was a Prince of Poland who had supposedly subdued Bractari and ruled as Emperor of the Bulgars and Moravians. (ref: "Simonis De Keza Gesta Hungarorum" edited and translated by Laszlo Veszpremy and Frank Schaer with a study by Jeno Szucs. CEU Press, 1999. P.75)"
#Simon wrote "Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum" in the 13th c., as opposed to the 12th c. "Gesta Hungarorum" by Anonymus, linked above. Mistake?
#Morout is wikilinked to Ratimir, Duke of Lower Pannonia. Why? What is the connection?
#"Menumorout (Stallion of Morout)". Menu = stallion? In what language? Source?
#"Morout was a (Slavs in Lower Pannonia#Principality|Prince of Poland) who had supposedly subdued (Bactria|Bractari)": Bactria is in northern Afghanistan, a whole continent away and not connected to the Slavs. How is the linked Ratimir/Morout connected to this Central Asian region?
#ref: "Simonis De Keza Gesta Hungarorum": 1. Bad English. Is it "Simonis de Keza's Gesta Hungarorum"? Lower-case d, apostrphe s, title in Italics. Made-up title, altogether? 2. Again, Simon wrote "Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum" in the 13th c., as opposed to the 12th c. "Gesta Hungarorum" by Anonymus.
It all looks like either terribly sloppy editing, forced creation of connections ("original research"?), or plain vandalism. If it's neither of those, but just the result of fancyful mediaeval chronicles: say so, explain, elaborate, as then it's NOT quotable as "history", but only as ME court literature or legends.

The effect of global warming will mean the sea levels will rise, drowning many islands in the next few decades.  Mass migration to perhaps New Zealand and Australia may then occur.
This is at best tangentially related to the Fiji Meteorological Service.  If there's a connection between possibly rising sea levels and tropical cyclone forecasting, it needs to be made more explicit, and a citation needs to be provided.

Talk:Íte of Killeedy

message: I renamed this page "Saint Ita" from the previous "Saint Ides." There was discussion about distinguishing this saint from St. Ides malt liquor and getting the redirects straightened out. But the problem is solved once the saint is refered to by the most common form of her name. I have never seen her refered to as St. Ides. I am pastor of a church named for her and have read just about everything I can find which mentions her. If "Ides" were at all a common form of her name, I would have seen it somewhere, other than the ocassional mention "also spelled Ides" sort of thing.

replies: text: There is a strange story, very old, related by St. Aegnus in his poetical calendar of saints. There was a giant beetle, the size of a lap dog, which gnawed at her side ("breast" is what the original has). One day when she was away sans beetle, the beetle crawled out of its hole, the nuns saw it, and they killed it. When St. Ita returned and discovered the beetle dead, sh laid a curse on the monastery that none of the sisters would succeed her as abbess. The story is strange, and most who read it seem to believe that it is a corruption of some event. Maybe she had a tumor? Who knows. Queezbo (talk) 16:53, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
