Category talk:Shia Islam

message: It appears that some articles in :Category:Shi'a Islam by location are titled "Shia in Foo" (foo meaning such-and-such country, like fulani), "Shiites in Foo", "Shia Islam in Foo", "Shi'a Islam in Foo", etc.  Does anyone object to standardising them all as "Shi'a Islam in Foo"?  They definitely should be standardised, and more articles have the apostrophe than don't.  Objections or alternate suggestions? MatthewVanitas (talk) 21:36, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Albert Ritchie

message: I suppose the "Governor of Virginia" mentioned in the biographical section as an ancestor of Ritchie's mother Elizabeth Caskie Cabell was William H. Cabell (1772–1853), but I'm not sure that's what was meant, and I'm totally unable to verify it in any case. If anyone genealogically inclined can give a reliable source for that tidbit, it would be appreciated.
In fact, I'd be interested in seeing a whole article on the Cabell family of Virginia; I'll go add it to WP:RA right now. --Quuxplusone (talk) 07:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Tower Bridge (Sacramento, California)

message: It says "previously" railroad - when did that stop ? -- Beardo 00:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The current status of this bridge is vehicle and pedestrian traffic only. I am unsure if the bridge carried a trolley service (small) or full blown trains in the past. Currently, I doubt that full blown trains were utilized and smaller trolleys were potentially used, like the rest of Sacramento back in the 1920s. Given that the Central Pacific had a bridge just to the north, I doubt nothing larger than a trolley ran across this bridge.
:See Sacramento Northern Railway#Route - but it is not clear when that service stopped. It indicates there was still a freight service from Sacramento in 1958. -- Beardo 00:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Albrecht Gaiswinkler

message: Some informations from Austria:
Abrecht Gaiswinkler actually founded a resistance group back in 1940, together with the mentioned  Valentin Tarra, Johann Moser and Hans Renner. In April 1945, when he parachuted from a Royal Air force Plane back into the Salzkammergut region to arrest or assassinate Joseph Göbbels for the British Special Operations Executive, where he was part of the Austrian Section, his comrades in this mission were the two Vienese Karl Litzer and Karl Standhartinger and Joseph Grafl from Burgenland, who had also been long in British service and who has been in Greece, Burma and Hong Kong before.
Actually the movie "Where Eagles Dare" from 1968 with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood is based on the story of Albrecht Gaiswinkler and his group of agents, but refers only very vaguely to the historic facts. In the movie the agents are Brits and Americans, but never the less it was shot in the region around the actual site of the event. --El bes (talk) 22:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Only Hits (The Ventures album)

message: I had Only Hits by the Ventures in a quadraphonic 8-track tape, but it did not have all these songs.  However, it's been so long ago, I don't remember which songs were on the 8-track tape.  Because of the year this came out, I would imagine that there would have been a quadraphonic album (maybe a double album) and a stereo 8-track.  I don't know that for sure.  
The songs I do remember from the quadraphonic 8-track were: "Also Sprach Zarathustra", Hummingbird/Summerbreeze", "My Love", "Superstition", "Live and Let Die", "Frankenstein", and You Are the Sunshine of My Life".  I'm sure that there were other songs on the tape, but I don't remember which songs they were - probably 11 or 12 songs in total.  One of the drawbacks to the quadraphonic 8-track tape was that there were only 2 programs instead of the standard 4 programs of a stereo 8-track tape. Jtyroler (talk) 03:57, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Category talk:Brandeis University

message: Per Wikipedia:Categorization #1: "Categories are mainly used to browse through similar articles."  People who go to :Category:Louis Brandeis to find articles may be interested in reading about Brandeis University, so it makes sense to have this category as a child.  While it is true that the "only" connection between the university and the man is that the university was named for him, that is a pretty important connection.  I certainly don't see the problem in providing this category for ease in navigation, as it doesn't seem to hurt anything and is not approaching over-categorization, since there is only one other parent currently. --After Midnight 0001 23:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Other sources argue for 1757: , 
The fact that the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB) changed to 1756 when the original DNB had 1757 suggests there must have been good evidence.  This Wikipedia article itself had "1756?" until 21 August 2009, after which it was changed to 1757, citing the 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Talk:Alexander Hamilton, 10th Duke of Hamilton

message: The 10th Duke was not buried at Hamilton Palace.  He commissioned an imposing mausoleum for his final resting-place and acquired the sarcophagus of an Egyptian princess in which he was to be placed. It became apparent that there was a considerable difference in height between the good Duke and the unfortunate princess who was to give up her coffin for him. The only way that they could stuff the old man into the available space was to cut his legs off at the knees. And so they did! The coffins of the 10th Duke and his ancestors were later removed after subsidence and flooding from the River Clyde affected the mausoleum, and were re-buried in Hamilton's Bent Cemetery.
