Talk:Ether (disambiguation)

replies: text: I've heard it before, but rarely.

message: I noticed that deadlines are shown as "0:00". This could be interpreted as the very beginning or the very end of the day. It is common to choose times such as "23:59" or "0:01" instead. MathsIsFun 02:36, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Treasure Island Causeway

message: First of all, the redirect cannot be a candidate for a speedy delete because it meets none of the speedy delete criteria (WP:CSD) - the reader (and especially the nominator) should check on the section for redirects on that page. By any stretch of imagination, none of the three criteria for speedy deletion of this redirect page is met. In addition...
Several sources indicate that the Treasure Island Causeway is either current or former SR 150 (and if it's a former SR 150, then a redirect is just as appropriate as for a current SR 150), including Florida State Road Atlas by American Map (my copy is the 2004 edition), maps.google.com (which, admittedly does have mistakes, as many single sources do), and other maps, which, if they are needed to be presented in a AfD discussion, I shall do so then.
As the author of the original article (and NOT the redirect, which was done by someone else focusing on bridges), I am removing the CSD template as inappropriate and urge the nominator to either A: consider the likelihood of it being a useful redirect, or B: use the appropriate procedure for deleting redirects (and, as much as I disliked the move of the original article, I will contest any such nomination for deletion as inappropriate). B.Wind 02:37, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Those maps are incorrect. The road is numbered according to the county road grid of Pinellas County, and has never been a state road. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 22:51, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

text: On what basis? Where is/are your reference(s) for your assertion? Even maps.google.com, hardly a primary source of information, shows it as SR 150. For that reason alone, unless you have evidence that conclusively states that Treasure Island Causeway was never a FSR, then a redirect would be best left alone and any corrections should be made on the Treasure Island Causeway article. 147.70.242.21 15:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lisa Raymond

message: Renee Stubbs just "came out" and outed Raymond as her long time lover.
:The source given, which I assume is an online newspaper, is about Stubbs, not Raymond, and simply claims that they "were in a relationship". It says nothing about Raymond being "openly lesbian", and I have removed it, per BLP concerns. 2tuntony (talk) 19:11, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

message: According to the Alaska Traffic Manual Supplement, AK-5 goes from "Tetlin Junction to border via Taylor Hwy"; the map shows it turning onto the Top of the World Highway.

thread_title: Cities

message: A 1909 USGS map prepared under the direction of Alfred Hulse Brooks shows a road roughly paralleling the southern 30 miles or so of the Steese Highway, one of a number of roads then extant between the various Tanana Valley mining camps/towns.  The northern extent of the road network at that time ended in the Chatanika River valley, pretty much in the immediate vicinity of the town of Chatanika itself and the Poker Flat Research Range.  In other words, the road leading beyond there towards the Yukon River didn't exist until the Steese actually was constructed during the 1920s.  Additionally, this photo offers a clue that the Steese was originally called the Yukon Highway, but Dankarl and I already had a discussion about this with no conclusive evidence turning up.  The highway was named for James Gordon Steese not long after it was constructed.RadioKAOS (talk) 00:55, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Turing equivalence (theory of computation)

message: I've redirected this article to Turing completeness for two reasons:
(1) it is incorrect -- Turing equivalence does not refer to "a computing device capable of performing the same computations as a Turing machine" -- *all* computing devices worthy of the name can perform the same computations as *a* Turing machine. (Some TMs do essentially nothing.) The reference should be to *any arbitrary* TM, or to a *universal* Turing machine, not merely to *a* TM;
(2) if it were corrected it would merely repeat the definition of Turing completeness (or computational universality).
In the article on Turing completeness, I will add the term "Turing equivalence" as a synonym.--r.e.s. (Talk) 02:59, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Talk:T & A (professional wrestling)

message: I added an "unreferenced" tag because this currently article has no sources. All the data needs sourcing, but I would particularly like to see a source for the assertion of the derivation (not the meaning) of the phrase "T & A" from which this duo takes its name, which sounds speculative to me. Also, I would argue that the phrase itself is far better known than the people discussed in this article, which suggests it should lead the article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:09, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I too was expecting an article about the phrase "Tits and Ass". Even if the wrestlers are more notable than they at first seem the phrase ought to be first. The article as-is is in pretty poor shape. Thryduulf 23:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ghost of Christmas Present

message: I have a copy of the unabridged A Christmas Carol, and this spirit is named The Ghost of Christmas Present, not the Spirit of Christmas Present.  Can we agree that this needs to be changed? Canonblack 03:10, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: I made some changes to the article to make it conform to Dickens' own text.  While there are many memorable Ghosts of Chrstmas Present in film and stage adaptations, I feel this article should reflect Dickens' own creation.  MacPhilbin (talk) 14:17, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:   The problem is that the article still fails WP:NFICTION/GNG. It is a pure plot summary plus a listing of appearances in related media. It needs a reception/analysis section.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I have added the 39 kW engine option that was available in form of a "low power" B3 engine. According to the Mazda EPC the production dates of the 1.1 liter engine and the 1.3 liter "normal power" engine were slightly different to what the article says right now (see here and here). But I'm not sure if the article refers to sales dates or production dates so I haven't changed it.
The EPC does not mention a 1.5 liter engine, but it might have been available to certain markets exclusively so I haven't changed that either. --193.25.183.52 (talk) 11:13, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  New TV Show 

message: Joaquin Phoenix was credited as Leaf Phoenix in this film and others. But he is generally listed as Joaquin now, and it's what he goes by. I think it would be better to list his credit as Joaquin and include "(credited as Leaf Phoenix)" or "(as Leaf Phoenix)". I made this change but it was reverted without comment by TheOldJacobite.
Also, I think it's confusing to mention the actor's last name in parentheses after the character's name when they have not yet been mentioned in the text. Either remove the actor's name, or mention the actor in the list of principals at the beginning of the article. I made this change as well, but it was also reverted.
Jer ome (talk) 23:34, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The actor should be credited just as he was in the film, with a piped link to the more common name.  This is how it is always done.  There is also no reason to give the actor's full name in the plot section, as they are all listed in the cast section, which is why the last name is given in parentheses. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 00:33, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Ezra Brooks

message: I can find no evidence to support the assertion that Ezra Brooks is a Tennessee whiskey and not a bourbon.  Versions of the article prior to October 2005 called it bourbon.  It's labeled as bourbon and listed on straightbourbon.com, which does not list Tennessee whiskeys like Jack Daniel's.
If no one can present evidence that Ezra Brooks is a Tennessee whiskey, i'd propose reverting to the older wording.
William Lovas 03:40, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The company web site says that it is charcoal filtered. That may be the source of the confusion. People tend to think that charcoal filtering makes a whiskey a Tennessee whiskey and not a bourbon.  That is incorrect - there is no regulation that says that a bourbon can't be charcoal filtered, and a number of bourbons are. Moreover, it can't be a Tennessee whiskey because it isn't made in Tennessee.  Actually, to put a further fine point on it, my understanding is that the only reason Jack Daniel's isn't marketed as a bourbon is that the company chooses not to do so as a marketing strategy. As far as I know, Jack Daniel's can be called a bourbon if someone wants to refer to it that way. —BarrelProof (talk) 11:27, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
