Talk:Dublin Castle administration

message: "The Irish Office in London[citation needed] was the part of the British civil service which liaised with Dublin Castle, just as the Colonial Office liaised with colonial governments."
Actually, to the extent this office even existed, one thing that's certain is that it was nothing like the Colonial Office. The view that Ireland was a "colony" of Britain (particularly in the 19th and early 20th Century) is extremely controversial and disputed by the majority of mainstream historians.
This line should be removed. It isn't sourced and even if it were, it's too controversial to stand by itself.Jonathan f1 (talk) 10:48, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sarratt

message: I have edited the following paragraph: "The rural aspect of Sarratt has been greatly influenced by the building of the M25 London orbital motorway – widened in 2011 to eight lanes (four each way) – less than a mile distant at the nearest point where it passes under Sarratt Road."
to
The M25 London orbital motorway – widened in 2011 to eight lanes (four each way) – passes Sarratt less than a mile distant at its nearest point, where it passes under Sarratt Road.
The original contains the statement 'the rural aspect of Sarratt has been greatly influenced by the building of the M25 London orbital motorway' for which no source is provided. Indeed, the M25 passes in close proximity south-south east of the village. However there are a number of issues with the statement regarding the rural aspect. Firstly, the statement has no source, such a council or parish report stating as much, therefore it must be regarded as the subjective opinion of an individual. Second, rural aspect is not defined, thus what has been specifically affected is unclear, nor by what means that effect has taken place. Finally, the extent to which those effects have been felt is unclear, 'greatly influenced' is imprecise at best, has the whole village been effected, or just part of it, what constitutes a great influence?
On several occasions i have flagged this section for lacking a citation, however these have been deleted by the original author who suggested i consulted an OS map. I doubt the ordnance survey have deigned to include information on their map sheets on the impact of vehicular use on rural areas, but i am happy to be corrected. Finally, my edit has been deleted and the original reinstated, and no attempt was made to rectify the clear issue with the subjectivity of the original or provide a source for the statement, meanwhile flagging my posts for vandalism!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.9.70 (talk) 12:35, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:1967 NCAA University Division football season

message: I object to the fact that the terms aren't content neutral, and there is no cite.  USC has been complaining about the field conditions in 1967 for years, but you can find gamefilm, showing that it wasn't that wet.  Also, OJ ran for 188 yards.  Was he good enough to do that "on a quagmire in a torrential downpour?"  The simple fact is that USC got beat by one of the best Oregon State teams ever, the Giant Killers.  The Beavers beat #2 Purdue & tied #2 UCLA, both on the road.  I'm changing it sans a cite.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilkyisdashiznit (talk • contribs) 16:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Immigrant communities in Northern Ireland

message: This page move should be reverted Gob Lofa. The common terminology to use is "Ethnic minorities" as not all people who are classified as such can be classified as "Immigrant communities", especially many of the second and third generation Chinese and Indians that live in Northern Ireland, and many may object to such teminology.
The standard manual of style on Wikipedia is for the article to be titled "Ethnic minorities in...". Just type "Ethnic minorities in" into the Wiki search bar and you will see just how many compared to only one article using "Immigrant communities", which obviously is this one. 
There is no precedent or proper justification for this move. Also consider how the lede of the article still states "ethnic minorities" and nothing about "Immigrant communities". Mabuska (talk) 18:31, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:List of mammals of Costa Rica

message: I am curious about the sources for some of the mammals listed (and not).  For example, within primates I have never seen a source indicating Geoffroy's Tamarin, Saguinus geoffroyi being found in Costa Rica but rather that their range ends in Panama.  On the other hand some sources note that the night monkey, Aotus lemurinus may extend into Costa Rica (although I have never seen any source be definitive about this).  But while the night monkey is excluded from the list, Geoffroy's tamarin is included.
Similarly, the cetacean listing includes some oddities.  Humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, are well know to migrate to areas right off the Costa Rica Pacific coast.  And while I am less certain, I am pretty sure there are sources for bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus being found off the Costa Rican Pacific shore.  But these are excluded from the list while other cetaceans that are probably much less seen near Costa Rica, if at all, are included.Rlendog (talk) 19:46, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I made this page because Nick Foster has written many well-known pop songs (as part of Rose and Foster, see the article and references) and is also responsible for the music (as composer as well as producer) for many of today's high-profile commercials, as well as some exceptional ones such as Sony BRAVIA "Paint" and Walkman "Music Pieces". Whether they are exceptional or not may be my opinion, but I hope you will agree that these commercials are highly visible (certainly in UK; I will have to check about the rest of the world) and so are a subject the public would like more information on (as evidenced by the Wikipedia articles devoted to some of the commercials listed in the  Nick Foster article). I've put some references in now and will next put in some more specific information about particular music he has written, also more awards etc. (sorry for any delay, I have to find these things out) Is there anything else I can do to improve the article?

Talk:2003 Sugar Bowl

message: The Bulldogs entered this game as a substantial favorite (-10), as not only were they the higher ranked team, FSU was without both quarterbacks who started games for them that season (Chris Rix was suspended for the bowl game and Adrian McPherson was dismissed from the team prior to the bowl game). Fabian Walker made his first and only start at quarterback for the Seminoles and was replaced during the game by Anquan Boldin, who played receiver for the Seminoles but was an all-state quarterback in high school. 
Adrian McPherson, a physically gifted quarterback who was heavily recruited out of high school, was dismissed from the team prior to the Sugar Bowl after being charged with theft, forgery and gambling. Prior to his dismissal, McPherson quarterbacked the Seminoles to a unexplainably poor offensive performance against North Carolina State, where FSU failed to score a touchdown. This performance, in addition to the charges against McPherson and his alleged ties to gambling, led some to speculate that the result of the FSU-NC State contest earlier that season was fixed.
Although McPherson did not play in the Sugar Bowl, the performance of his friend and former teammate Talman Gardiner led some to speculate the Sugar Bowl might also have fallen victim to a point-shaving fix. Gardiner dropped two long touchdown passes that he had in his hands without being touched or even threatened by a defender. The second dropped touchdown came in the final moments, after Gardiner appeared to have tucked the ball underneath his arm before it fell to the turf. A catch would have all but assured that the Seminoles covered the point-spread.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JoeVM (talk • contribs) 23:48, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Freeway Traffic Management System

message: Having just read this article for the first time, I have to say I can't easily fathom what it is describing.  The Lead paragraph certainly doesn't make it clear what this system is for or how it achieves it.  The text jumps from saying who runs the system to what equipment it uses, without any description of its purpose other than the title.  For example, what, in this context, is "an incident"?  I cannot tell if this means a queue, crash, poor weather or any number of other possible problems, and I doubt it covers everything.
I would start re-writing this article (based loosely on something like Motorway Incident Detection and Automatic Signalling in the UK) but I genuinely cannot tell if the two systems are remotely similar. Can someone please explain, in understandable English, what the subject of this article is and does?  --Peeky44 What's on your mind? 22:50, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
