Talk:Tri-Cities, Virginia

message: The City of Petersburg is experiencing a wonderful regrowth in the downtown area. A major surge in remodeling and renonvating old, abadoned buildings has meant the birth of a new life in the area. A hip, trendy, crowd are making their way to downtown led by an ever-increasing number of hip, trendy restaurants.
It's amazing to see the beauty of the architecture shine once again in an area that had lost so much of its historical grandeur. Beautiful homes are also being restored and bought up all over the downtown area. 
If you have not checked it out lately, it's worth a drive down to have a sandwich at Longstreet's or sushi at Wabi-Sabi. With an emerging entertainment area you might want to stay on into the evening at a place like Sycamore Rouge.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.105.56.171  (talk • contribs)

I appreciate the above writer's enthusiasm for Petersburg but I am not sure that the above blurb is really a constructive attempt to inform editors about how to better edit the article. In the spirit of Wikipedia:don't bite the newcomers I am going to treat the above post as if it is a request for more content on the "revitalization of Petersburg" and not an attempt to self-advertise. I will consider the request and try to add some of this content without the superlatives. MPS 03:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Talk:List of Late Quaternary prehistoric bird species

message: This list includes many birds which don't appear in standard reference books of birds. I feel it is based on preliminary and controversial research. Particilarly a huge number of often unnamed rails and crakes is controversial - looks like somebody asssumed that every bone of the bird not currently found on a tropical island means new extinct and endemic species. (Unsigned comment by 131.152.84.114.
::No, its the work of more specialised journals, and books and other literature. And the rail thing is actually conservative, estimates in journals of rail species on islands prior to man are somewhere in the region of 700-1700 species. In truth, there are still known undescribed living species out there, so the fact that they haven't been described yet doesn't make them invalid. Sabine's Sunbird  talk 19:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: i would say this list gives only a very small overview of the number of birds which became actually extinct. There was an estimation by Pierce Brodkorb in 1959 who gave an unbelievable number of 1,6 million extinct bird species since the Jurassic period. The Avian Paleonthology is a rather young science and it is very thrilling to see how more and more fossil or subfossil remains became unearthed though unfortunately a lot material vanished without our knowledge. --Melly42 (talk) 11:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: This falls along the lines of Bayern/Bavaria, Preussen/Prussia, Sachsen/Saxony, Hannover/Hanover, Braunschweig/Brunswick... The name simply is correctly and factually translated into English as Lunenburg. A 1911 article from EB simply isn't the be-all and end-all of the matter.

Talk:Michael Psellos

message: The existence of the person treated in this article is currently questioned. The following is moved here from a discussion between  User_Talk:Robth and User_Talk:LukasPietsch:
:[...] Michael Psellus the Elder is an article based on the 1911 Enc. Brittanica. Trouble is, the Enc.Br. gives no sources in turn; it also states that no writings of that guy have been preserved, so how do we even know he existed? He is in none of the more recent works I've checked - the present version of Enc.Br., Pauly's Reallexicon, a couple of other general-purpose encyclopedias. Nothing in the specialist literature on the "younger" Psellos either that would suggest the existence of a confusable namesake. What makes the whole thing even more fishy is that much of the information the article gives on the "elder" (except his geographical provenance from Andros) sounds almost as if it could also apply to either of the other two Psellos, so I have the suspicion his whole existence might be a philological misunderstanding that has in the meantime been solved by scholarship. Does your library have anything where you could look up a topic like this? Lukas (T.|@) 09:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I searched through a number of different reference books--including extensive ones devoted to philosophy, theology, and Byzantium--and histories of the period, and came up with absolutely nothing on the elusive "elder"; I think you must be right in your guess that some reference to the well attested Psellus was misconstrued to refer to a different individual, and that this has been cleared up since 1911.

message: As per the comments embedded in the article, this list should only include notable clubs.

The original comment said only clubs that have an article or 'you think should have an article'.  If people start adding clubs they think should have an article, the list may get quite unruly (I've seen it before on other lists).  I changed the comment to say that the club should already have an article (hence it has probably already passed the notability check). - Adolphus79 (talk) 14:24, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Mark-Paul Gosselaar

message: I've looked over the evidence towards Mark-Paul Gosselaar's ethnic background is a very simple topic, and it was explained by Gosselaar himself: He is Dutch-Jewish on his father's side, and Filipino on his mother's side.
https://sites.google.com/site/washingtonpostgosselaar/home
He states that his father was born in France, but is Dutch, and his mother is Filipino, but born in Indonesia.
The "Dutch-Indonesian descent" about her mother was completely made up by IDBM, and taken as fact by a few websites.
Gosselaar's mother being of Filipino descent also connects with him learning Tagalog at home.
I want to precise this in the Talk section, because someone has been constantly changing it back to "Dutch-Indonesian descent" for seemingly no reason, even though I added the citation every single time. TerraceCliff (talk) 15:37, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
