Talk:Lonsdale Quay Market

message: Hi.  I tried to verify the stats in the info box, claiming 2.8 million passengers in 2009 through (?) Lonsdale Quay.  The content at the reference (Vancouver Sun) was obscure and actual ridership numbers not easy to find there, due to how it's presented.  I found an alternate stat for this, from Translink ( http://www.translink.ca/en/About-Us/Media/2011/February/TransLink-2010-Ridership.aspx ), claiming 5.7 milllion passengers in 2009.  That's a primary source, and should also be scrutinized.  But this two numbers are off by a factor of two.  So on the basis of poor WP:Verifiability, I have commented out the lines in the infobox displaying the stat.  I might be misinterpreting this, but then it's likely any other reader seeking clear verifiability could do the same.  Thoughts?  --Ds13 (talk) 19:50, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The tax rollback section seems to be POV against those who did not support the increases.  Editing it now, feel free to edit back later if there is no agreement.
Removed this paragraph:
Bedford is always better than both Hurst, and Euless in almost everything imaginable. The water system of Bedford contains legal anabolic steriods, which affect not only the body, but the mind as well. This was engineered by Bedfordian scientists, and comes without any of the side affects of normal anabolic steroids. Also, men from Bedford are naturally born with larger penises, can divide by 0, and are all-around amazing. Recently Kyle of Hurst's status of being the greatest man who ever lived was usurped by David.
Certainly worked for me back in 76 as whenever I mentioned to the ladies from Hurst and Euless that I was from Bedford it was instant love in their eyes. I now have 27 children in the general area from 19 different women.

message: I think the article title should be Patlabor series given how the opening line ("Patlabor (a portmanteau of "patrol" and "labor"), also known as Mobile Police Patlabor (Japanese: 機動警察パトレイバー, Hepburn: Kidō Keisatsu Patoreibā)") makes it sound like Patlabor is the equivalent of the original Japanese title, but the series encompasses many works some of which do not use that full original title such as Oshii's novels.

message: ---I removed the comment about "socialistic" ideals inspiring "many" New Dealers and the reference that "Historians" are reassessing this influence.  I also removed the reference to Amity Shales and her book, which is really a reiteration of the same point.
Amity Shales, the author of the the Wall Street Journal reference, is the only person brought forth to justify the assertion that many New Dealers were influenced by "socialist" and "leftist" ideals.  She is not a historian.  She is a journalist with a BA in English.  Her work has been criticized by dozens of economists and actual historians for its sloppiness (her claim that unemployment did not significantly drop during the New Deal is predicated on the assumption that goverment funded jobs should not be counted as employment) and ideological bias.  Also, literally hundreds of books have focused on Tugwell's influence, and to reference her book as the only work of relevance concerning his actions in the New Deal is truly perversion of any true attempt to assess his legacy.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slabadoo (talk • contribs) 20:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Looks better but could use more detail. Was Tugwell visiting the Soviet Union on behalf of the government, or was the trip for private or academic research? Also, I have one issue with the current text where it says "Romantic leftist ideals influenced Tugwell". I'd be inclined to drop the "romantic" part because in context the term is possibly misleading. The WSJ article suggests that Tugwell and his colleagues romanticized economies of scale to the point where they dismissed the role of small producers. But the Romantic movement which influenced many on the left was about the opposite: it romanticized small producers and dismissed the potential of large-scale industry. Tugwell may have been a romantic, but he was no Romantic, if you see what I mean. So I think the choice of words here is, while strictly correct, too ambiguous - it could easily be read to mean the exact opposite of what's intended. I'd suggest either a different word than "Romantic" or dropping it altogether and just saying "Leftist ideas influenced Tugwell..." and maybe following it up with a bit about his enthusiasm for large-scale centralized industry. -Steve 207.6.224.49 16:32, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Saddle seat

message: Saddle seat ruins breeds--look at the Arab and the Morgan. Apparently some people are now riding Friesians and Canadians in saddle seat, which marks the beginning of the end for those breeds too.
:I don't compare correlation with causation.  While it's true that the Arabian, a breed I know well, has probably not benefitted from the current obsession with high action that has been around since the 1980's or so, the breed was shown in Saddle Seat equipment and attire for a good 30 or 40 years before that with no ill effects.  It has only been changes in shoeing rules and a push for ever higher action that has -- debatably -- "ruined" some representatives of the breed.  though I don't know the Morgan world very well, I suspect that is also what has happened there.
:The drive for more action has had bad effects on other breeds too--the American Saddlebred has some bloodlines that also have conformation defects (such as a too-long back) that are linked to breeding for action over long-term soundness, and Equus magazine did an absolutely horrifying expose on the Tennessee Walking horse industry in late 2005 or early 2006.
