Talk:The Hotel Inspectors

message: The article says, "The only time in the series we ever see evidence of Basil smoking, when Sybil steals the lighter in the opening scene." I don't think this is correct: don't we see Basil step outside with a cigarette during Basil the Rat, in the scene where he sees the cat coughing up furballs? Rocksong 03:25, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Basil smoking 

message: 'At the end of the episode, there are clearly three hotel inspectors. However, only two of them (John and Brian) are named in the closing credits. The 1st inspector says "Twenty-six rooms, twelve with private bathrooms." The 2nd inspector says "Yes, well, why don't you have dinner here, and Chris and I can try the Claremont." The 3rd inspector (presumably Chris) replies "OK. The owner's one Basil Fawlty."'
That is grossly inaccurate. There are only two inspectors credited because only two actually speak. The first (John or Brian), followed by the other of these two and then the first again. The third one, Chris, doesn't actually speak at all, which is why he is not credited.

Talk:Love and Mr Lewisham

message: I suggest that the title be corrected to "Love and Mr. Lewisham", with the full stop included after "Mr". The same consideration should surely apply to all titles in Wikipedia, should it not? After all, a title is a title and a name is a name, and neither should be subject to the whims of the current age. At present, there is no standard in WP, and individual contributors decide whether to modernize titles, at times even inconsistently. Thus, on the H. G. Wells bibliography page, we find Mr. Belloc Objects to "The Outline of History" and The Story of the Late Mr Elvesham, to name but two of the works cited.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.147.3.11 (talk) 15:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Occam's Razor only applies if two theories are indistinguishable in their predictions. For example, if someone says gravity causes plans to orbit and another person says an undectable god causes gravity to cause planets orbit.

If the competing theories make different predictions, then Occam's razor doesn't apply. Instead you just determine which prediction is correct. 72.220.142.234 (talk) 18:59, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Masta Kink

message: I am afraid this account about the Masta kink contains some factual inaccuracies. 
When Jackie Stewart crashed his car during the first lap of the 1966 F1 GP, it happened in the Burnenville turn, which is a very fast and long turn.  If fact, that year, when the start was given, the cars started in dry race condition.  However, due to the length of the track, it often happened at Francorchamps that some parts of the track could be wet while others were not.  This is exactly what happened that year.  When the cars started, there was a rainstorm over the hamlet of Burnenville and the track became wet at this place, but it was still dry on the start line. During the first lap of the race, the drivers entered Burnenville almost at full speed only to suddenly find a wet track.  If I recall well, at least 4 drivers crashed, among which J. Steward.  His car ended indeed upside down, but not in the cellar and not even in the courtyard of the farm (which by the way lays on the left of the track and – at least – 3 or 4 meters below the level of the track).  But since there were several cars involved, it took several minutes before one could extract Jackie from his car.  And I can easily think that for him these few minutes have seemed to be hours.  Since them, he really hated the track.  Another driver, Jo Siffert if I recall well, was also in a very uncomfortable position.  The front of his car (including the front wheels) was over the farm courtyard, while the back was still on the track, the whole being in an unstable balance.  I can’t recall who the other drivers involved were, but Graham Hill and Jo Bonnier could have been involved as well.  In fact, other drivers too got crashes during that race and only 5 managed to get points.  Altough a few more actually finished the race, but with insufficient distance covered.
With respect to the 24 hours race of 1973, there were indeed 3 drivers killed in two distinct crashes.  The first one took place in Malmedy corner (just before the Masta straight) and not in the Masta kink.  During the night, one driver lost control of his car and the car behind him crashed into it, both being killed almost instantly.  I can't remember their names anymore.
The other crash indeed occurred in the Masta kink, where an older gentleman driver (if I remember well, he was almost 60 y.o.), Léon Denier (or maybe Dernier) lost control in the kink and rolled his car up an electrical pole.  I can’t however remember whether a marshall was involved in this accident as well. --Lebob-BE 00:49, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Eos Airlines

message: I checked the Atlantic Express article and found that it confused two airlines. There's a current Atlantic Express, flying ATR42s from Stansted to Jersey, and there's the completely separate pre-EOS incarnation of the name.

Hence I don't think it makes sense to merge the articles. It may make sense to provide some info on Atlantic Express here in the EOS article and I'll add that now. But I vote against merging. Ecozeppelin 10:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
