Talk:GP2 Asia Series

message: Still some problems with this article, as to the definition of an 'Asian' driver. Confirmation of whether GP2's racing system (feature/sprint race with reverse grids and different points systems) is duplicated exactly would be useful, as would some details on the 2009 season.
Worse, it is not clear enough as to whether drivers from Africa or Eastern Europe are acceptable as the non-Western driver (especially as Turkey and Russia are singled out), and what about Western-born drivers of Asian descent? --MartinUK (talk) 21:38, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is really unclear. The current wording would e.g. imply that teams with Robert Kubica, Mark Webber, Will Power, Jonny Reid, Adrian Zaugg etc would be "asian", while running Ho-Pin Tung wouldn't be ok since he has a dutch passport. /Coffeeshivers (talk) 09:26, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Talk:Laura Gale House

message: Why isn't it called the Laura R. Gale house? After all, Thomas was dead by the time she commissioned it, and so he had nothing to do with it.  As it stands, her title (and the name of the house) gives her no individuality, no existence beyond being married to Thomas H. Gale. Is this some old-fashioned snobbish convention?  Why is it being promoted in the 21st century?  Surely in these feminist times we have moved beyond that? 82.32.238.139 07:05, 1 June 2007 
:Give me a break. The Preservation Trust refers to it as the Mrs. Thomas H. Gale House in their maps, as do most other references it is also known as the Laura Gale House, which I added once I found the ref on my bookshelf, but is much more commonly known as the Mrs. Thomas H. Gale House. IvoShandor 12:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Just a question

message: I take issue with the idea presented in the article that Fallingwater is the culmination of the "Prairie School" of architecture, that Wright developed.
Not being a credentialed expert, but from my own amateur knowledge, I can accept that Gale is the precursor to Fallingwater, i.e., Wright's use of cantilevered balconies, that Fallingwater might be classed as a "small" house, etc.
But it is a complete conflation of terms to liken Fallingwater to a Prairie School-style home.  Obviously, Fallingwater was built in a hilly region, with sloping terrain, a waterfall, and in the middle of forest.  The ultimate expression of Prairie School architecture, is generally accepted to be the Robie House, completed 1910 (Chicago).
That consensus of opinion is presented here in Wikipedia on the Robie House page"It was designed and built between 1908 and 1910 by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and is renowned as the greatest example of the Prairie School style, the first architectural style that was uniquely American.", and so is in contradiction to the analysis presented here.  The conflation of Prairie School with Fallingwater is stretching architectural historicism to the breaking point, in my opinion.

message: I note from today's BBC news and Somerset County Gazette that the councils voted for the proposed merger of Taunton Deane and West Somerset, although this still has to receive central government (Sajid Javid) approval (likely to be given in my opinion). What should be on the two articles now to reflect this and when should the new article about Somerset West and Taunton Council be created?

Talk:Sedgemoor

message: I love the parish pictures, but I think that village churches are somewhat overrepresented. Perhaps people who know some of these locations better could select more representative pictures from Commons. At the moment, for example, I think Axbridge, Shipham, Lympsham, Cheddar, all have really good pictures. I just changed the Brean picture (was previously a church). My suggestion is that a church is the picture of last resort if nothing else is available. In the case of some villages where the church rather dominates the street it is on (e.g. Wedmore) then a photo of that street scene, including the church but not exclusively of the church, might be more suitable. I have nothing against churches I just think things could be improved. 10mmsocket (talk) 18:31, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: My example of Wedmore maybe wasn't a good one as no such street scene photo including the church exists. (Photos on Commons) I stand by the point though. 10mmsocket (talk) 18:35, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

message: * The definition given ("A tally is an unofficial private observation of an election count carried out under Proportional Representation using the Single Transferable Vote.") is rather narrow and untrue. A tally is both the procedure and the result of counting votes, not limited to the constraints of the above definition, which, besides, is unsourced and unreferenced. I've added another tag.

I really don't care anymore if it stays or goes (I did the most recent  while on WP:NPP, BTW), but I suspect that based upon (a) it's failure to satisfy the sole criterion for Notability (organizations and companies) ("it has been the subject of secondary sources"), and (b) the author's failure to make the simple improvements suggested by the most recent  restoring admin, a }} or  would not be declined.

thread_title: Comments

message: "In 1976 in Scotland, the Grand Lodge was frustrated in its attempt to expel a leading member of the Ulster Defence Association, Roddy MacDonald, from the Order, because of widespread support for the loyalist. The Order's democratic organisation makes it difficult for the Grand Lodge to overrule county or individual lodges. Other Scottish members were later convicted of smuggling guns and explosives to the UDA, although the Ulster Volunteer Force is thought to command more support among Scottish loyalists in recent years."
For such a small article this paragraph seems to be here purely to misinform readers of the Orange Lodges activities. Apart from the 2 line introduction the reader has to learn about the UDA and UVF activities before they even know simple facts about the Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland. There are no citations to these claims either. I think that this article should be include more relevant information and that the paragraph in question be deleted.
"the Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland is a (now) relatively minor entity advocating unionism in Scotland and the continuance of the United Kingdom.[2][4] Out of a Scottish population of over 5 million people, it claims only 50,000 members,"
50,000 members is 1% of the Scottish population and, if true, would make the order a significant organisation, not 'minor'.  50,000 is also more individual members than any political party in Scotland, possibly more than all the political parties combined (some don't publicise figures).Inaspicious (talk) 18:10, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
