Talk:Commander Adama (original Battlestar Galactica)

message: Referring to this phrase from the article:
"Adama is the commander of the great military vessel Battlestar Galactica..."
This is improper use of the term "Battlestar". The Galactica is a spacegoing military vessel of type Battlestar, along with the Pegasus and (IIRC) 10 others, unnamed in the series.
By analogy with the US Navy, when you look at the last operational battleship in the fleet, you don't see "Battleship Missouri" painted on her bows; it's just "Missouri". (Well, OK, "USS Missouri" or some such...)
Sure it's just a nitpick, but I bring it up so someone can correct it if they wish. --Chris 19:03, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Right on the ALA's web page appears the LBR and an link to a PDF version of the LBR.  Look carefully at the postambles in both and a difference is evident, the HTML and the PDF.  Since the ALA is the source of the LBR, the discrepancy should be resolved by the ALA so this wiki page reflects the correct postamble.  IMHO.  --SafeLibraries 19:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am aware of what you are talking about.  Note that the sources of the information in the history section are also ALA publications - the 1939 Bulletin and ALA's own history of itself published in 1978.  I do not know why the postamble on the website doesn't acknowledge the 1939 version of the LBR, but I have it right in front of me. Rlitwin 20:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Someone should probably get in touch with ALA and see if they can correct their website, but in cases of discrepancy the print version should trump the web version unless the web version is reflecting more recent information that has not yet made it into print. Jessamyn (talk) 13:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  My thinking is that the choice at ALA had to have been deliberate, interpreting the 1939 version as "not really the LBR" for some reason (though it is really very similar to the current one and had the same title).  I think it had to have been a conscious choice to interpret the 1948 version as the original for some reason because the 1939 version is so easy to find out about in Thomison's history of the ALA.  I may mention it to someone.  I think the 1961 date is likely a typo and should really be 1967.  Rlitwin 13:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Damrak

message: I would question the etymology given for the name "Damrak". "Rak" is a Dutch word which has a meaning something like "stretch of water where boats can be moored. Therefore giving the meaning to be "mooring place at the dam". This would also be logical given the use of the area throughout the earlier centuries of the city.
"Rak" is also part of placenames in the Netherlands which weren't in the Frisian sphere of influence.

*mention that in the article (instead of simply adding the category and mentioning the reference in your edit summary), plus

Talk:Streetnoise

message: I think that the "Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and The Trinity chronology" in the infobox is misleading. Judging from the cover images found via http://www.discogs.com/Brian-Auger-Julie-Driscoll-And-The-Trinity-Open/master/96710, none of the 1967/1968 LP releases of Open mentioned "Trinity". The term only occurs in images of CDs there, but there were no CDs in 1967/68. The covers have "Julie Driscoll" and "Brian Auger" listed, the LP had one side with Driscoll and one without her. And the "next album" in that "chronology", Befour is by Brian Auger & the Trinity, but Driscoll does not appear on it at all, so the term "Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and The Trinity chronology" is wrong for that album, too.I suggest to remove the "Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and The Trinity chronology" and only include a "Julie Driscoll chronology" with Open, Streetnoise and 1969. Any objections? The history of Driscoll's cooperation with Auger / the further development of Auger & the Trinity should rather go into the article text, IMHO.

message: I know City and Central were different stations.  However, when I changed this to a redirect, I moved the content (minus the POV remark about its architecture) in order to give a coherent account of all the stations (Wellington, New, Central, City, etc.) in one place.  I also moved the content from "Railway stations in Leeds" , which also had information about Central, which partially contradicted this page.
Because pretty much all the content of this page can be found at Leeds City railway station, it would be better to concentrate everything in that article, which gives the wider picture, and put the redirect back.  --RFBailey 19:50, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure I want to go as far as suggesting resurrecting Railway stations in Leeds, but I don't see how it contradicts it either.
