Talk:Wears Valley, Tennessee

message: I went with "Wears" Valley instead of "Wear" Valley, as the locals almost exclusively call it "Wears Valley."  The sign at the entrance to the town says "Wears Valley (Unincorporated)" and the main road through the valley is called "Wears Valley Road."  It should be noted that some federal agencies still use "Wear Valley," however.   
I went with "Wear Cove," since while the locals use "Wears Cove" and "Wear Cove" interchangeably, "Wear Cove" appears on USGS topographical maps.

replies: text: I figure you know, but the USGS GNIS gives  as the so-called official name. Not that the federal government has the power to enforce such things, but I thought I'd link to that site for whatever it is worth. I wonder how the -s was lost given that it is named for Samuel Wear. Oop, and I see there is a Wear Valley page, but it is about a place in England. Maybe a hatnote or disambig would be useful. If I find the time I'll do it. Pfly (talk) 04:36, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It may have been called "Wear" at one time.  The USGS apparently went with "Wear" based on old maps.  Some older people in the area pronounce it without the S, although they spell it with the S.  Bms4880 (talk) 20:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Prevailing usage DEFINITELY includes the S. The only thing I would wonder about is whether it should include an apostrophe (properly it should be "Wear's Cove" and Wear's Valley, but I think that "Wears Cove" and Wears Valley are probably the dominant form). --Orlady (talk) 21:01, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Its root is a possessive, but it's almost always spelled without the apostrophe. Again, I went with how Wears Valleyans were spelling it.  Most websites also use "wears."  The USGS doesn't use apostrophes for possessive names— I'm not sure if that somehow influenced the prevailing spelling.  Bms4880 (talk) 22:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yea it is extremely rare to find a possessive apostrophe in a placename. I think this was one of the things the USGS Board of Geographical Names was most successful on standardizing in the late 1800s. As far as I know there are only one or two possessive names still common. One is Martha's Vineyard. I don't know if this played into Wears Valley though. It is interesting to learn of places where local usage differs from GNIS "official" form. There aren't a whole lot. Usually the GNIS decides in favor of local usage.

Category talk:Plagiarism

message: The editors who created this category should re-think what it was intended to include and which categories it belongs under. As far as I can tell, none of the articles in the category today have anything to do with journalism, but this category is in :Category:Journalism ethics and :Category:Criticism of journalism. Some of the articles are about plagiarism in popular culture, so they don't belong in :Category:Academic scandals and :Category:Educational assessment and evaluation. That leaves :Category:Deception, which is certainly appropriate.
Would it be more appropriate to have :Category:Plagiarism as a super-category with subcategories about academic plagiarism, plagiarism in journalism, and plagiarism in popular culture? — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 21:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What is this category supposed to include

message: I see a bunch of articles in :Category:Plagiarism controversies that were not controversial - merely well publicized or notorious.  The word "controversy" implies debate amongst people with differing opinions - so for a plagiarism incident to be "controversial", there would have to be a bunch of people saying that it's not plagiarism and a bunch saying that it is.  Since plagiarism (once exposed) is typically hard to deny - it's only very rarely controversial. SteveBaker (talk) 13:27, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Zifeng Tower

message: So, I see the floor count was changed on List of tallest buildings in the world from 69 to 89 overnight.  I come to this page and investigate to see whether the change was correct or not, and upon looking at both Skidmore, Owings and Merrill's homepage for the project and Emporis' entry, it appears that the correct number is 62 floors - which makes the "72nd floor observatory" sentence puzzling.  So, I check out SkyscraperPage.com's entry, and sure enough, there's the 89-floor number.  So, anyone have any idea which is correct?  Or is it like the Freedom Tower, where there's technically only 88 floors, but the official count is 108 since the "first floor" is listed as 20? EaglesFanInTampa 13:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

message: There are many other firearms articles on Wikipedia that appear to be copy and paste jobs from factory websites; the CZ 97B article is an example of such (see the CZ-USA website.)
