Talk:Joseph T. Robinson

message: The picture shows FDR, Ms Roosevelt and John Garner- his Vice-President- in garb for the inauguration. The photo improperly identifies the man as Senator Robinson of Arkansas.
The dress- especially the hats and the open car suggest this was on Inauguration Day. There would be no good reason for a US Senator to be in the car with the President-elect, but the Vice-President elect would be very likely. Plus the man in the photo identified as Senator Robinson looks like Vice-President Garner.
I would suggest this be checked and corrected if found inaccurate, as I suspect it is.

replies: text: The man with President FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt is clearly Senator Joseph T. Robinson, who is the incoming Senate Majority Leader.

Talk:21st century science

message: This was previously tagged as a speedy deletion candidate when it was a malformed disambiguation page.  I converted it to a redirect pointing at James S. McDonnell Foundation for two reasons.  First, the McDonnell Foundation mentions the "21st Century Science Initiative" as an integral part of their grant-giving decision making process.  Second, there is not currently an article on the UK free resources site http://www.21stcenturyscience.org.uk/ and if I were to trim the dab page down to focus only on that content, the resulting stub would certainly have been deleted speedily.

Talk:Sahlgrenska University Hospital

message: I think in English the hospital should be called Sahlgren instead of Sahlgrenska - it seems more correct to me. Could anyone with a proficient command of Swedish and English second this? Axt (talk) 22:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: From a strictly linguistic standpoint you're probably right. However, for proper names, it is common to translate the descriptive words and leave the rest as it is, rather than trying to do a grammatic back-tracking.

Talk:Braguinha (composer)

message: Redux, it seems that it should be the Hornero rather than the Ovenbird (the João de Barro is the F. rufus, I think). Any translation, of course, misses the fact that "João de Barro" could even be a person's name. Cheers, RodC 23:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Humm, looks like you're right :).  I linked to the Ovenbird because of this website, which gave the name in English as "Ovenbird", so I went straight to our specific article.  Interestingly, the "name in Spanish" given on the website is "Rufous Hornero", but I didn't think of looking up "Hornero", since they gave the name in English and it seemed to fit.  I guess I should have double-checked by running a search on the scientific name as well...On a somewhat related note, it would be highly unlikely for "João de Barro" to be a person's real name, although the last name "Barros" (with an "s") is a relatively common last name in Brazil (as in Alexandre Barros, the motorcycle racer).  This particular combination is commonly associated with the bird, which is quite "popular" in Brazil.  Cheers,  Redux 01:08, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I do not think the niturei karta funding controversy is worthy of mention and would like to remove it, as:
* it is a minor footnote in the UOHC's half-century history 
* Calling it a controversy is a bit of storm in a teacup. Niturei Karta may be considered extreme within Zionist circles but that is their POV, in the grander scheme of things their position is not considered extreme (except it being surprising that Orthodox Jews would take that stance).
* The only source is a bit of tabloid journalism from the Jewish Chronical which was later subject to a vigorous defense via letter pages in jewish press. If we were to include every accusation by the Jewish Chronicle (a liberal-jewish weeekly) against this Orthodox organisation this article would be much longer!

Well, I thought that the reader might want to know how the appliance knows when to turn itself off, or how it knows it has been turned on without any water in the container.

message: Re this addition   (since reverted)
Do we want that here?  Should this article be about electric hot water makers, or about the function of this device (boiling water on tap), whether heated by electricity or some historical precedent?  As a historical note, I favour it - the "gas geyser" was an important bit of plumbing in the UK. Even under the current name, I think it's just about acceptable as an anachronism.

thread_title:  Electric? 

message: There is an overlap between this article (Electric water boiler) with electric kettles, instant hot water dispensers, and water dispensers (which often have a heating/cooling ability), along with electric boilers (which does not boil just water).
These articles are supersets or subsets of each other, and I propose that they should be linked to each other in a consistent manner, and showcase their common aspects and differences.
Perhaps there could be an article (either new or existing) with some sort of nested list:
* boiler
** electric boiler
*** electric water boiler
*** electric kettle (a type of kettle)
*** instant hot water dispenser (a type of water dispenser)
The common thing is that they each boil water.
But each one employs either a different method of boiling it, and has a differing form factor.

message: So I went ahead and made some major changes to the gameplay section.  There wasn't a focus on explaining the core gameplay and strategy, so I tried to create that focus.  The old version sometimes had things that seemed to be explained only because they could be pulled form direct quotes.
My first draft at writing this tried to explain lots of little 'rules' for each of the many minor gameplay elements.  However that proved to create too much clutter.  I'd warn future editors against adding in little rule explanations if they aren't needed to get the core gameplay across.

replies: text: Sounds like Amber388 may be racially biased her/himself. If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GB-8297.jpg, the chef in this 1927 photo is clearly white.

Thus, the "good idea" could have come from some white railroad cook. Of course, the sales executive could have been black for all anyone knows (albeit certainly highly unlikely given the period) since there is no further ID of him/her either.
