message: You may wish to show an early American connection with the English fishmongers guild? If so, New England governors Thomas Dudley and John Winthrop may have been members. Capt. William Hilton Sr. (wife Ellen Mainwaring) may have been a member; allegedly his father, Roger Hilton was.

message: The article quotes Doggets Coat and Badge Race as being "the longest boat race in the world – 4 miles, 5 furlongs (7,400 m)". This is nowhere near as long as the annual Sulkava boat race in Finland (Sulkavan_Suursoudut), which is 60 kilometres (37 miles) long and has 23 different series, from singles and doubles to "church boats" with 14 rowers plus cox.

Talk:Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band

message: Today I made a large-ish revision of the discography section of this article in an attempt to clear up some inconsistencies.  I removed two albums because they are not Clarke-Boland Big Band albums: "One World, One Piece (LP, 1984) with texts by Pope Jean-Paul II..." and "Flirt And Dream (SABA LP SB 15136/ST, & SB 15071) (1967)..." Both albums feature Francy Boland but are not Clarke-Boland Big Band albums.  Other albums were moved from the main discography section to a new "Compilations and combination re-issues" section.  The new listing also does not include label record numbers - although these numbers are available in the referenced source discographies - especially Douglas Payne's. Pugetbill (talk) 21:34, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discography updates / formatting 

message: I removed the category "American jazz ensembles" from this article.  I don't think the Clarke-Boland Big Band is considered an American ensemble and I have not found any references that claim them to be an American group.  Even the lead paragraph of the wikipedia article states, "Although based in Europe, the band was truly multinational,..."   I would argue that the Clarke-Boland Big Band was, by most definitions, primarily a European ensemble - or an international ensemble.  Although there were several American members (including, of course, co-leader Clarke) the group was composed of mostly European musicians and they recorded and performed exclusively in Europe.  All members lived in Europe at the time and apparently never performed or recorded in the USA as a group.  It seems inappropriate therefore to classify them as an "American jazz ensemble".

There may be other versions too (e.g. a shorter single version or radio edit). I don't if the version used in the Stardust movie was the same as the album version.

Talk:Khodoriv

message: There is another Khodoriv, Kiev Oblast. Also a historic one.  I can't say that the village in Kiev Oblast is clearly much less notable since the town in Lviv Oblast is also rather obscure. It's not like two Mykolaivs, where one is the oblast center and the other is a raion center. So instead of Mykolaiv-style dab, I suggest moving this one to Khodoriv, Lviv Oblast and leave Khodoriv page as a dab between the too. Objections? --Irpen 12:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Island...

message: Hi, the article says that the railway was established by the Isle of Man Railway in 1879 and transferred to the Manx Northern Railway in 1880. This is almost correct, the railway was built by the Manx Northern Railway itself but operated by the Isle of Man Railway until 1880, when the MNR took over day to day operation.
This is supported by the articles about the Isle of Man Railway and the Manx Northern Railway:

Talk:Newstopia

message: Hello Rothery. I think we need to discuss the matter of you removing the links we are placing on the Newstopia wikipage for the review of Newstopia and interview we carried out with Shaun Micallef about Newstopia. While I can understand your personal opinions in regards to the review (it might not be to your tastes), I feel that by stating that the review is "not a good one" and not replacing it with an alternative review could be seen as just being, well, petty. 
I am happy to stop placing the review online (bearing in mind that it is a review from a British website, aimed at highlighting the show for British fans of Mr Micallef, and is the only coverage that the show has seen this side of the world) if you can source one you feel is more appropriate.
Secondly, you removed the link to the interview we did with Shaun, refering to it as a 'review'. Did you look at the link persay? The interview was a separate article to the review, and therefore I believe warrants a separate decision.
Anyway, as mentioned previously, am happy to discuss the matter with you.

Talk:Worshipful Company of Pewterers

message: I've removed the duplicated part of the crest blazon from the arms as it was obviously gobblydegook. I couldn't figure out where the "arms embowed proper" were supposed to go and "seeded" is not an adjective I've come across in heraldry before. I'm also unconvinced that "proper" has a well established conventional definition in relation to a seahorse (the Company portrays it as a light sea blue).
More seriously, this blazon contradicts the Company's own literature (e.g. a pdf linked on their website), where rather than alembics it has strakes, which are directly related to the smelting of tin. Alembics seem more like something for a company of chemists. (Additionally, the seahorses are referred to as "hippocampi", contrary to the modern convention that that word means the real creature.) The arms as illustrated in the pdf might be blazoned as follows: Azure on a chevron Or between three strakes Argent three roses Gules. Hairy Dude (talk) 02:25, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[:Category:Livery companies]] ''vs.'' [[:Category:Great Twelve City Livery Companies]]  

message: The second sentence of the entry read "It was originally an association of furriers respectively skinners." This makes no sense. The use of the word "respectively" requires at least two objects in a sentence, e.g. "I visited Paris and Rome, respectively." I rewrote the sentence accordingly. This text, from the subject's website, might be more instructive: " The Company developed from the medieval trade guild of the furriers: members of the guild dressed and traded furs that were used for trimming and lining the garments of richer members of society." That could be reworked into something like "The company originally was a medieval trade guild representing furriers -- those who dressed and traded furs used for trimming and lining garments of the upper class." 71.175.4.207 (talk) 14:31, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Aruba 

message: There are substantial differences in governance between Dutch and Belgian NVs.
The Dutch NV usually has a supervisory board, whereas the Belgian NV does not. 
The NV form in the Netherlands is restricted to large enterprises, and the BV form is more current, whereas in Belgium the NV form is used widely and the BVBA form is used mainly by family firms and as an alternative to the partnership. 
Furthermore recent developments have meant that not all Belgian NVs are truly public, in that restrictions on the transmission of their shares mean that these are effectively close companies. These means that it is impossible to say whether an NV is a plc or an llc until one has read the articles of association. 
Following changes in regulations (primarily to combat money laundering and tax evasion) the unregistered share is disappearing. This does not however affect the ability of the shareholder to trade his shares. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 15:46, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
