Talk:Laomedon of Troy

message: 1. "Tithonus is also described by most sources as Laomedon's eldest legitimate son; and most sources omit Ganymedes from the list of Laomedon's children, but indicate him as his uncle instead." What are the sources?
2. Which sea monster did Poseidon send to attack Troy?

Talk:43-Man Squamish

message: This obviously was never a major cultural phenomenon, but it has a certain place within "nerd culture" (or whatever you want to call it), and I see no real reason why the article needs to be deleted. AnonMoos (talk) 02:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: see http://humor.about.com/b/2004/01/25/43-man-squamish.htm ... perhaps this could be merged to George Woodbridge rather than deleted outright? The game was mentioned in his obit ( in the NYTimes) so I'd say it does have some notability. If an outside source for the "most requested reprint" from MAD could be found, that would ice this concept's notability I would say. Removing . ++Lar: t/c 18:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Left out the best part 

message: The history says it was deleted after discussion, but I see no discussion stating WHY it should be deleted. Therefore, it was deleted by one person's opinion and should be re-added. As it is now, it was merged into both Tom Koch's and George Woodbridge's pages, which is really stupid. A correction in one probably won't be done in the other, so it should be its own page. --Meve Stills (talk) 21:12, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

However, according to the booklet (ISBN 3-89795-805-8, p. 19) to the 2001 compact cassette edition Beatles Bob-Hamburg Days of the recording session, Studio Ralstedt did not become operative before late February 1962. I've tried for half an hour to implement that information into the article, but the new ref format with {'{sfn}'} is just beyond me. --2003:EF:1706:1E83:7016:9EC1:79B:88AD (talk) 19:16, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi again
References 2 and 3 are also false. Even the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation said that his being a member of the Communist Party would not stand up to "close scrutiny" or "critical examination" as there isn't sound evidence. That's because he wasn't a member of the Communist Party.
So yet again a contributor has been allowed to add lies to his entry.
I again ask that the offending sentence be removed.
Thank you

Talk:E-Comm

message: The History section of this article fails to mention the preceding work of the Task Force set up by the GVRD Regional Emergency Planning Committee and Regional Administrative Advisory Committee, and their consultants, performed during the period 1981 through 1987.  That Task Force addressed "the options available to member municipalities requiring expansion and/or replacement of the municipal services' radio systems and the need for an inter-municipal emergency radio system.
A major problem identified was the inability of municipal police departments to access the RCMP radio system (lack of interoperability)
The Federal Department of Communications (DOC) became involved and actively promoted an 800-MHz wide-area trunked radio system, setting aside 60 channels for that purpose.
In 1987 the Task Force was presented with two reports completing the first phase of a feasibility study, which concluded that:
 - "No one municipality is large enough ... to initiate a system on its own"  (Vancouver City had already indicated it would not participate)
 - "RCMP also has the same territoty to cover and similar channel requirements ... (but) have not advanced to the point where they could discuss their participation"
 - an option to be considered would be the formation of a "public utility" company incorporated for the putpose, whose shares would be held by the GVRD and the municipalities and whose directors would be appointed by them.
Ultimately, faced with the non-participation of Vancouver City and the RCMP, the Task force settled for the implementation of a three-channel 400-MHz radio system, including portable radios, to provide communciation between municipal EOCs (Emergency Operations Centres) and between incident commanders and EOCs.  The system was known as IMERS (Inter Municipal Emergency Radio System), and remained in operation for more than 20 years.  If it had been used by Vancouver Police and the RCMP during the hockey riots the inter-operability communication problems reported might not have occured.
Only after the hockey riots did Vancouver City take the initiative and put up the money to establish E-Comm, with the support of RCMP abd BCAS.

thread_title:  Modern usage primarily satirical? 

message: After the Confucian court examination system in Vietnam was replaced by French education in 1913 (Duy Tân 6) and the last imperial examinations were held in 1919 (Khải Định 4). However, newer Mandarins kept being appointed by the Nguyễn Dynasty government such as Ngô Đình Diệm, whom as far as I can see he was educated at the School of Public Administration and Law in Hanoi in the year 1921 (Khải Định 6), this was a French school. 
So what were the requirements of Nguyễn Dynasty Mandarins between 1920 and 1945? This article doesn't seem to show any information regarding this but it does state that Mandarins were usually people who passed the imperial examination programme. --Donald Trung (talk)  17:52, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Crane or Egret 

message: If the topic of this page are the bureaucrats of ancient to early modern China it would seem appropriate to me to merge into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholar-official
On the other hand, if the topic is just the term 'mandarin', the first phrase of the intro could reflect that better, perhaps something along these lines:
   Mandarin (Chinese: 官; pinyin: guān) is a term that was generally applied in Europe to the bureaucrat scholars of China, Korea and Vietnam.
At the very least, I think a clearer link to Scholar-official is warranted here, maybe at the very top or even just in the See also section. While the page is currently linked to from the word `scholar` in the intro, it is not obvious at all on a casual read through (someone might well expect it to lead to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholar and skip hovering).
