thread_title:  "The word's later usage as a residential term" 

message: The page currently quotes a survey estimate of 433 mews properties in London - this is ridiculous, there are hundreds of mews in London and certainly thousands of houses within them. Rechecking the linked site (everchangingmews.com) they now list 713 mews "properties" in London - but each "property" appears to be a mews with 10 to 50 (probably more in some cases) houses. So the number of 433 is almost certainly at least 10x too low. I also did a quick check on the number of roads with the word mews in them in Central London (approx inside the North/South Circular), using the OS Gazeteer (via UK Maps app on iOS) - there are about 1100. Not all of these will be proper mews, but not all mews have the word in their street name, so 1000 is a decent estimate. Even if they have only 10 properties each on average that would be 10,000 mews properties vs the figure here of 433!Jeremy Young (talk) 17:13, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Holiday on Ice

message: For a while in the late 1970s, Holiday on Ice was based in Knoxville, Tennessee in its off (summer) season, when the show were prepared and rehearsed for the beginning of touring in the fall.  The company had a softball team, which resulted in seeing scores in the agate type of the Knoxville News-Sentinel's sports pages such as "TVA 14, Holiday on Ice 5".  Not particularly the softball team but the story of HoI's off-season homes, or at least a listing, would be a great touch if someone is a real skating afficianado/historian and could provide such.  Rlquall 16:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A memory 

message: At least in the past, Holiday on Ice DID have olympic-level skaters and national champions in its ranks, such as Hans-Jürgen Bäumler. Also, the acrobatics can't be that new, I remember when I was a kid and my uncle and aunt were still performing with HoI, there was an act called "The Flying Ukrainian" who would jump over a row of barrels. This must have been something like 20 years ago. --84.46.9.164 16:58, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Can we find evidence for the claim that Ice Capades has been "widely parodied"? I have no idea whether it has been, hence me not removing the claim -- but we're currently only showing support for two cartoons by Gary Larson, so the article doesn't really support the "widely" idea. I can't find a secondary source showing it myself, so I've added a "citation needed" request for that specific statement. Beginning (talk) 09:46, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Merovingian art and architecture

message: * I moved the page to Merovingian art, but Anthony Appleyard moved it back to Merovingian art and architecture, citing a request by User:Johnbod. I reverted the move, because the reason given is not valid: the "art and architecture" pairing is not an usual pairing at all, if you try to search it on Wikipedia, it's always only a redirect to art, e.g. Islamic art, because architecture is an art.--Liongrande (talk) 17:48, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

I think that Market Square in Cracow is the biggest medieval Markey Square in Europe but it's quite narrow category, if you think about it.

Talk:Loddiges family

message: All in all this is an excellent article, however, it really is deficient in citations. I've added the best citation I can find for the quote from Darwin, and a map of the locality from Bath Spa. However, the article does need to reference the facts and show sources. Even listing the original sources would improve it n-fold.

Talk:Palmyra massacre

message: I propose to add the following paragraph IF I can get sources from the authors. However, the hosting organization where the info was posted is pretty radical, and maybe for that reason the information is not to be trusted.
An unreferenced account by a group dedicated to giving the Confederate point of view reports that Allsman's indiscriminate attribution of Southern sympathies to his fellow townsmen had been enough to bring Federal harassment, jail and robbery on them. "There was deep resentment for Allsman in the town of Palmyra. Reportedly, when Col. Porter had captured Allsman, some of the ladies of Palmyra had said to Col. Porter, 'Don't let old Allsman come back.'" In this version, when Allsman became a hindrance to Porter's movements, and Porter proposed to set him free, Alsman requested a guard, in fear of retaliation by the citizens his informing had harmed. Porter allowed Allsman to choose six soldiers as his guards until he reached the home of a Union sympathizer. "While enroute to the home of a U.S. sympathizer more men from the Confederate camp approached Allsman and the party of Confederate troops that escorted him. These troops took charge of Allsman and began to continue the trip to the supposed U.S. sympathizer's home. These new troops took Allsman out into the woods and told him that he was going to pay for the deeds that he had done as an informant. Allsman was shot dead by three men and his body was covered with brush and leaves in the dense underbrush of the thicket. Allsman body was never found, nor were his executioners ever identified." 
However, the hosting organization (southernmessenger.org) is a radical perspective, and not to be relied on uncritically.

message: The material tagged for copypaste is from a newspaper that's 140+ years old -- well out of copyright. I think providing a contemporary account has documentary value.

Talk:List of building types

message: Transport buildings does currently not include:
* Tunnel
* Bridge
* Viaduct
* Wharf
* Lock (water transport)
* Boat lift
Industrial buildings does not include:
* Barrage (dam)
* Embankment dam
Whereas other includes:
* Aquaduct
* Marina
* Triumphal Arch
And military buildings includes:
* Defensive wall
All of these do not exactly match the strictest definition of building.
The article on buildings on the other hand gives a very broad definition:
:"Any human-made structure used or intended for supporting or sheltering any use or continuous occupancy."
Even a sandcastle does support a use, e.g. the joy of building one. But most importantly roads and fields do. But these probably shouldn't be called a building.
So what should be included in this list?
And what would be a better definition for building?

replies: text: I would suggest changing the title to "List of building and structure types" so to not exclude those non-building structures listed above.

Talk:Torupill

message: Feel free to fix my mistakes- this is my first article on Wikipedia and I probably have a lot to learn  :)
--viller
I fixed up some of the grammar. Also replaced 'maw' with 'stomach' (in modern english, maw is taken to mean a large mouth not a stomach, but I know the bags aren't made from mouths...). I also replaced 'phrase' with 'passage' - a musical phrase is short, a passage is long. Not 100% this is what you mean, there are various other words I could have put there, 'theme', 'motif' are others.
The one thing I couldn't work out is 'phrof wood' for the blowpipe? I'm guessing its a hardwood of some kind but none of the names I guessed got close in the Estonian-English online dictionaey. Bazzargh 01:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Practical Research Methodology

message: Hos321: I have repeatedly reverted your insertion of material, and now I will explain why. Software packages do not belong in this article. There is already an article Landscape design software, which is listed in the See also section, so it serves no purpose to list four packages you happen to know about in this article. In any case, the software packages have nothing to do with the heading you use, "Meeting The Client". For these reasons, I have repeatedly removed your repeated insertion of this inappropriate material. Aside from this, the material you have repeatedly inserted does not conform to Wikipedia style standards. 
* MOS:HEAD says: "Section headings should generally follow the guidance for article titles (above), and should be presented in sentence case (), not title case ()."
* Even in title case, the word "the" is not capitalized, except when it's part of a name, such as The Hague.
* MOS:CONFORM says: " ... should generally be normalized to plain text."
* Boldface and font sizing markup such as  is not supposed to be used in headings.
* The apostrophe is not used for plurals, except for abbreviations with more than one period, such as Ph.D.'s, and individual letters, such as A's.
* Wiki headings (with equals sign markup) and non-Wiki headings should not be inserted with no content text following.
* The word "software" is a mass noun, not a countable noun, and does not have a plural. Also, it is a common noun, not a proper noun, so it is not capitalized.
* MOS:YOU says: "Avoid addressing the reader using you or your, which sets an inappropriate tone ."
* Wikipedia:Wikipuffery says: "A more neutral tone and the provision of factual information, cited to a reliable source ... is the appropriate style. Don't tell readers that the subject is great." This is apropos of your "tremendous landscape design features" (emphasis mine).
* MOS:SINCE says: "terms such as , , , , , ... should usually be avoided in favor of phrases such as , , and ." This is apropos of your "for 20 years now".
* MOS:REFPUNCT says: Refs are placed  adjacent punctuation, not before (apart from the exceptions below) ... Exceptions: Ref tags are placed  dashes, not after. Where a footnote applies only to material within parentheses, the ref tags belong just before the closing parenthesis.
Before you edit this article again, please comment here. If you edit again and insert content similar to what you have inserted before, without discussing and gaining a consensus for your changes here on this talk page, I will revert. —Anomalocaris (talk) 04:42, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
