message: Aidan Girt was removed as a band member for unspecified reasons by a person claiming Set Fire to Flames "is my band". There isn't much to go on as far as reliable sourcing here, but I happen to have both of the band's albums handy here, and memberlists are given in both. The group's 2001 release lists "Aidan" as the drummer; this is Aidan Girt. Girt is not mentioned in the 2003 release, but nevertheless, the first album clearly states he was a member. He's also mentioned by name in this review, which meets WP:RS. I intend to restore this to the article with sourcing. If he is no longer in the group, 2 things need to happen: 1. the page needs to be updated to indicate that it is still a band, as they appear to have been inactive for more than a decade; and 2. Girt should be moved to a "former members" section. Removing Girt wholesale to reflect a (possibly) current status is ahistorical. Chubbles (talk) 17:19, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Without wishing to delve into thorny ontological questions about what it means to be "in a band", Aidan performs on the first record and is listed with other bandmembers in the liner notes, and critical commentary about the record is written with the assumption that he is a member. Anecdotes on his role would be nice to add if they come from somewhere published - perhaps an interview, or even a statement from a bandmember on his/her own website. Since we can't take individual editors' word for things, we have to rely on what published sources say; if one is found with more information about the group's creative process, then perhaps it would make sense, if true, to move Aiden's role into a section on that. However, as it stands, the sources sure make it look like he was a member (in whatever relevant sense that word is used) on the first album. As to the genre, I remain agnostic, but again, critical commentary sure seems to use it frequently in connection with the band, and removing it based on personal preference would put one in a long line of bickering on Wikipedia over band genres that I would like to avoid. Chubbles (talk) 18:36, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

text: Unfortunately, those press releases do not have memberlists, nor do they say much about individual musicians' roles. Sings Reign Rebuilder lists 13 musicians in the liner notes, and Aidan is one of them. I simply have no way of verifying the information you're asserting here. Certainly, it wouldn't make sense to not mention Aidan's name anywhere on the page, as we are agreed that he did clearly contribute to the first album. Chubbles (talk) 18:56, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

I've seen a claim that Thomas J Watson Jr had served in big bombers during WW2, and had been exposed to sufficient digital electronics that he could see its application to computers.

Hmm, you have a point! Some quick google searches fail to resolve the issue. This page (http://http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/C/Cassegrain/1.html) claims Cassegrain's first name is not conclusively known. This page on the other hand ( http://www.centurytel.net/lphilpot/optics.html) is one of many claiming Guillame as inventor. Your Journal of Optics source looks fairly conclusive, however. I personally think we should go with that. Perhaps a sentence pointing out the mysterious nature of this man, and a link to the paper (or at least a full reference) would be helpful to reverse the trend of misinformation!

Where does this version of the events come from?

A shot is fired, of disputed origin" and "the national guard suffers 9 wounded, 2 die the next days."

Talk:Airline Deregulation Act

message: "In terms of the airlines the business environment was rather more harsh..."
This does not appear to a valid concern to me. When a market is deregulated, naturally, businesses that were being protected by government laws and subsidies will fail, while more efficient businesses will rise up. The fact that some airlines failed is a marker of success, not failure.
MSTCrow 05:38, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)
On the contrary, it is most certainly a marker of failure as far as those airlines were concerned - and perhaps also as far as many other people are concerned. More "efficient" businesses do not necessarely mean better businesses (Wal-Mart, for example, is efficient - but I doubt its employees like it very much). -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 09:10, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: WalMart is the largest corporation in the world. That sounds pretty successful to me. On what basis can you demonstrate that the alleged lack of liking by its employees, is greater or more severe than what employees in other companies might report? For that matter, what is your standard of measure to support such a glittering generality allegation as that? Do you claim that the employees of WalMart are more dissatisfied with their company, than the unemployed autoworkers are with theirs? WalMart doesn't lay off, since they are constantly expanding. That fact gives their employees tremendous job security. In contrast, hundreds of thousands of employees in the airline and auto industries have lost their jobs (in most cases, in the union companies, whereas the non-union companies have continued to expand and keep hiring, instead of laying off.)

message: "Another common anti-competitive practice of major airlines is to charge substantially less for a round trip on a given itinerary than for a one-way trip, or to charge substantially more for a given segment of a multi-segment itinerary than for the complete itinerary, which constitutes a form of tying."
That comment (from the article) sounds a too bit opinionated for my taste.
The airlines charge whatever the market will bear. Round trip fares are usually extremely restrictive for changes, thus not a good option for business travelers who will pay more for the one way and/or less restrictive fares. Airlines fill the unused seats with the leisure tickets, but care most about the business traveler who will pay more for the convenience. This is neither wrong nor anti-cometitive in any way.
