message: In the article where it is mentioned that Randolph appeared as a character named Sam Gerard on Matlock, the name Sam Gerard is linked to another article about a real-life Vegan activist with that name.  As Randolph was playing a completely fictional character who has nothing to do at all with that real life person, is having the name linked really appropriate?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.82.68.160 (talk) 04:14, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Striga

message: I suspect this is a C&P from this website:
http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/phpps/ipc/weedinfo/striga.htm Dina 18:09, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Dr. Ricarda Steinbrecher, in testimony to Agriculture and Forestry Committee of Senate of Canada, 5 December 2006, said:
:"Napier grass — that they can grow outside the borders of the corn, which actually attracts the corn borer. The corn borer likes the smell better than the corn, but it traps it; it has a sticky liquid. At the same time, they found another plant — a Desmodium plant — that can be grown between the corn. It is a very small nitrogen-fixing plant that has a smell that repels the corn borer. At the same time, the Striga weed also does not like it."
Can somebody who knows more about it than me clarify if she meant Desmodium or Napier grass?  Trekphiler 08:03, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Code 5

message: Since September  11, 2001 and the revelation that the use of codes is not standardized between emergency response agencies, a move  from the federal government to push all agencies to plain language use on encrypted radios has been made.
There was very little standardization between Brevity codes and the fact that some agencies had officers that had a love for using codes meant that you would end up with two and three pages of codes as a new code sequence was created as a new situation arose. This defeated the purpose as many people would have to spend time looking up obscure codes and the system was generally abandoned as secure radio systems became more prevalent. 
As well, the fact that many state statutes still placed the responsibility on Law Enforcement for any accidents that occurred, the travel modes changed to either emergency response or routine response.
Plain language is the standard now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.241.120.20 (talk) 03:48, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Jacques Lauriston

message: The article claimed him as "the son of Jacques François Law de Lauriston (1724–1785)", the younger of John Law's two nephews; most sources, however, identify him as a son of the elder nephew Jean Law de Lauriston (1719-1797): both brothers held high military and civil positions in French India, and both seem to have married into the Carvalho family, Portugese merchants in India, with their wives being named Maria and Joana. The statement that he was Jean's son goes back to an insanely detailed history of their ancestral Scottish parish, published when the future Marshal was an obscure twenty-five-year-old.

thread_title: Parentage problem

message: It is not unique for a member of the officer-class of ancien regime to survive the Revolution and to prosper under the Empire, but it still appears an achievement in itself. If one's father were a baron, it further suggests a degree of ability 'to keep your head when all about you are 
mounting the scaffold and losing theirs'. If the father were a baron, then he must have been a baron himself from 1797, if not before; 
a conversational detail he may have omitted to share with his fellow Citoyens. To thrive under the Empire and then thrive after the 
Restoration is again not unique, but that marquisate is getting to be pretty well-earned... J'ai survecu! Protozoon (talk) 13:57, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

message: A request for cleanup was added in May, but I don't see any specifics, other than a discussion about external links. There was also a separate request for expansion of the history section.
I have substantially expanded the history section. There is still work to do, as I really only filled in the history up to the King Philip war (1676) leaving a lot of history to be written. Some subsequent history was there before, but the discussion of the Revolutionary war period and more recent history needs addition. I plan to work on it, and once done, we may have to discuss whether the section becomes too long. In any event, I think enough has been added to remove the template.
Separately, I've added a number of images, and done some general cleanup. I won't pretend it is ready for FA review or even GA review, but I think it is progressed enough to remove the cleanup template. As always, if someone disagrees, please replace it, but please add some specifics.--SPhilbrickT 14:18, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Its always been translated "Phantom".  If you look "Phantom" up in the dictionary, it actually has a more poetic meaning than you'd think.  I don't think we can rename it because the word has been used a lot in horror movies and Scooby Doo.DavidRF (talk) 03:33, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

For example, a friend of mine who speaks fluent Czech mentioned that a translation of a similar work by Janacek had a horrifically bad English translation for the title. These things happen. And then they become published...and now those scores are creeping into the public domain.

I think the Wedding Day one is certainly in the standard repertoire and is unquestionable, but the other two are pieces I'm not very familiar with at all, and I'd like to say I'm a Grieg buff. I've seen some of the other ones in compilations of Romantic works. I'm not sure how one can gauge the most famous pieces from the set outside of the Wedding Day (partially because it has been orchestrated many times.)

Talk:San Juan Mountains

message: I appreciate the Start-Class rating.  I found so little basic information here I wondered if it was a stub.
There's no map.  There's no description of the San Juan's role in either the overall Rockies or in the Colorado Rockies.  I came hoping to find some presentation of the layout of the range, some notion of how to approach it as a tourist, some discussion of the towns in it, some mention of its geology.  Nada, nothing.  Just sort of a chamber of commerce discussion of how they made money in the San Juans in mining in times past, and how they're making it with tourism now.  Once again, when Wiki is good it tends to be solidly good.  When it's bad, it tends to be solidly bad.  And you can never tell which to expect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.29.205.41 (talk) 22:50, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Doesn't appear to have gotten much better in 7 years. Amusingly, the section 'History of the Area' begins in 1903. One might conclude that it either magically appeared, or something's missing. One something can be spotted in the article Ute Mountain Ute Tribe:  In 1873 the gold and silver rush occurred in San Juan Mountains; the Utes cede the San Juan mining area to the United States, it is one-fourth of their remaining lands.... Between 1859 and 1879 the Ute population fell from 8,000 to 2,000 due to disease and diminished hunting grounds. Possibly that explains overlooking history prior to the organization of the 36 mining companies. There's a slight hint in the Fort Garland article.  Some of the story of the goldrush can be found in this article. There we can learn that In addition to being the home of the Ute Indians for hundreds of years, the mountains intrigued Spaniards, lured the prospectors of the Colorado Gold Rush, and attracted thousands of vacationers and seekers of outdoor adventure.... Among the first results of the renewed interest in the San Juans was conflict with the Utes, who had been guaranteed the land in the Treaty of 1868.

replies: text: Probably not.  While the CBC-2 proposal may have had some vague similarities with the network that eventually became "Bold", the world of Canadian television changed radically between 1980 (when CBC-2 was proposed) and 2000 (when Land and Sea was licensed).  Unless one could find a reliable source that states otherwise, I don't think there is much of a connection between the two networks. Given the lengthy time period between the two, and the fact that the broadcast field was extremely different by the time Country Canada went on the air, means that it would be a real stretch to suggest that Bold is a successor to CBC-2. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:04, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Indeed it was one of the last things he repeated on the scaffold. There are examples of Confederates who worked behind enemy lines dressed as civilians but were treated as enemy combatants by Union courts, not spies. As such to say he was a spy would be taking sides in the affair - which is OK, some people had the opinion he was a spy (including the so-called "kangaroo court" that convicted him) but we should show respect for Andrews in the article and not say outright he was a spy, only that the court found him as such and thus the reason he was hanged.
