message: Hello,
Latest version of JAWS has been changed on February 4th this year.
I'm quite new in Wikipedia and for some reason I can't edit this in the article, nor can I tick the «I am highly knowledgeable about this topic (optional)»checkbox.
Current JAWS version is 14.0.1534.
P.S. I wanted to add a prooflink to FS's website, but I didn't know it would throw a captcha at me. So no link, sorry.

Talk:Llangoed Hall

message: Much of this page was a copyvio of http://www.bestloved.com/hotels/hotel-llangoed-hall-in-brecon-powys-wales-uk.php] (click the "more" to expand and get the full content). I have removed everything which is a direct quote from that page. Some of it was contained in mouseovers. 
The remainder is information I cannot find on the external links and comes without cited sources. After a lot of hunting, I found a reference to the ghost, but with a completely different name: http://www.iht.com/articles/1994/07/15/ghosts.php .So I am not sure that really supports the current article. We have no criteria for what makes a hotel notable enough for Wikipedia. If no references are forthcoming, I propose to take the article to AfD and let them work it out.

message: In a nation with 37 crore (370 million) people (Pakistan, India & Bangladesh), a handful of people indulging in acts of terror is not any people's revolution. They are just miscreant. Rich people from the subcontinent going to England and declaring themselves as the leaders of the 'Indian' people, is just being cunning. 3 million native soldiers supporting the English rule, and along with millions of common people. And on the other side, a few rich guys claiming themselves as the leaders of the people. It needs a lot of manipulated imagination to believe in the fake story of Indian independence movement.

replies: text: I think you could argue it either way.  A song like "Mister Scary" doesn't qualify as glam to me--it's way heavy and hard while a song like "Burning Like a Flame" might be somewhat "glamy" to some though it's not as blues-based as a Poison song or a Faster Pussycat song.  So for myself, if I need a binary answer, I'd probably say no as well but like with most subjective art-related things, there's room for grey here.

message: No!! It should not be merged. Are you stupid> They clearly do not go together! Are retained earnings also called 'reserves' (e.g. in UK)? If so, the article should say so (and there should be a redirect). 217.155.116.125 12:13, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Miscellaneous comments

message: I got some photocopied pages of a textbook, which says about Retained earnings:
:"Both debt and equity are sources of finance external to the company. Internal sources of finance may be provided from cash generated by the company in excess of the requirements to finance its operations [...]"
Is it me, or this introduction on retained earnings is a bit confusing? Here ar emy thoughts:
:1) Retained earnings are considered shareholder funds and therefore it is EQUITY. This deffinition talks about equity and debt and then introduces Retained earnings are internal source of capital.
:2) I do believe that Retained Earnings are in face, INTERNAL source of EQUITY:
:*INTERNAL: Since the decision to distribute earnings as dividents or to retain them is done on the management level (and not on shareholders - unless a shareholder is in management but you get the idea, I hope).
:*EQUITY: Because it is, indeed, shareholder's money.
Can I suggest that we explain that Retained Earnings is an INTERNAL, LONG TERM, EQUITY source of capital? Of course if I am wrong in any of these, feel free to correct me. --Pinnecco 16:10, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The distinction that the textbook fudged by not going into more detail is that there are sources of cash, generated by the company in excess of requirements, which are not retained earnings (see cash flow and related for examples). That said, retained earnings are internal, and indeed are equity (as in the article). I'm not sure what you mean by long term. At any rate, be bold and edit if you think it will add something.--Gregalton 14:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Debt or Equity 

message: I think this article could be greatly improved by:
* Providing a very simple example (balance sheet and income statement with earnings and dividends, then balance sheet of next year) similar to the one on the Capital surplus page
* Giving some general guidelines on how to interpret a retained earnings value found on a balance sheet (e.g. "If the retained earnings exceeds [some other value on the balance sheet] [multiplied by something else] then we can often infer on the company's [financial health / management style / ...] that ...")

message: All Kibbutzim are based on sexual equality. I am not aware of any kibbutz in which the women don't have an equal part in the decision making process or in which men don't cook(!).

message: The main paragraph refers to Magne being co-writer of many of the bands hits with Pal Waaktaar.  I would like this changing as not only has Magne co-written a-ha songs with Morten Harket and non-band members but he is also credited as sole writer on a number of songs, some of which have had what could be considered commercial success.  Also the Pal Waaktaar and Morten Harket pages make no reference to Magne's work with them.  I don't want to just make changes to have them reverted - does anyone with more experience feel they can offer guidance on this? swalk 12:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Having just spent a few minutes tagging my A-Ha MP3s I can attest to the fact that Magne did indeed co-write many songs, both with Pål and Morten as well as penning a few on his own. Out of 52 distinct songs (from their first five albums, all I own) he has writing credits on 24, and sole credit on eight of those. Honestly I can't be arsed to list them all here right now, but here are the ones he wrote himself:
Hunting High and Low - I Dream Myself Alive
Hunting High and Low - Love Is Reason
Scoundrel Days - Maybe, Maybe
Stay on These Roads - Hurry Home
Stay on These Roads - You Are the One
Stay on These Roads - This Alone Is Love
East of the Sun, West of the Moon - The Way We Talk

thread_title:  Split 

message: The OED online (dictionary.oed.com) does not even have a listing for "adaptor". Instead, it has a definition for "adapter, -or". Also, Cambridge Dictionaries Online (dictionary.cambridge.org) has results for adapter: adapter noun DEVICE and adapter noun WRITER, but results for adaptor adaptor noun, at adapter (noun) DEVICE and adaptor noun, at adapter (noun) WRITER. These suggest that "adapter" is prefered in British English and "adaptor" is an acceptable variant.
However, 98.225.60.216 has just added from AskOxford.com "adaptor (also adapter)", and I notice that the url ends with "view=uk". I cannot change it to "view=us" without a subscription. Does anyone know what is going on? Is there a similar uk vs us setting for the OED and Cambridge that I don't know about?
Also, the third definition that OED provides for "adopter" is:
:3. Chem. A tube connecting two pieces of apparatus; esp. one which connects the retort and receiver in apparatus for distillation. Also called ADAPTER.
so perhaps this variant should also be mentioned in the lede.
