message: I think this needs to go to AfD, at the very least. On my reading of WP:JUDGE, she would indeed be presumed notable, as she is a judge of a provincewide court, which is specifically covered by that notability guideline:

Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature".

Talk:Westerham Valley branch line

message: If anyone knows what happened to the Westerham Flyer locomotive, please do not hesitate to add that information in. Ravenseft 09:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The building of the M25 was not the sole reason for the closure of this line. It was closed in October 1961 as being unremunerative, by the then Minister of Transport Earnest Marples. I fail to see how closure of this line was done for the construction of the southern section of the proposed M25 Orbital motorway, which had not yet been surveyed and the route or line of the motorway had not been agreed at that time in the 1960s. I would add that construction of the M25 started at Dunton Green east and west sections in June and December 1976, some 15 years after the lines closure. It would be useful for the date of when the surveys were done to be included in this section of the article, as the references themselves provide contradictory information on this point. 
The failure of the Westerham Associations bid to reopen the line was because Kent County Council had purchased the line in order to demolish a bridge to make way for the A21 Sevenoaks bypass, and the Association could not raise the funds (£14,000) to replace the bridge.
I recognise that the M25 motorway was built over a section of the route of this line much later in the mid to late 1970s but it was not the main cause of closure in 1961. 
I would also add that the lines closure could be coincident with the commissioning of Kents electrified lines and the removal of steam from all BR lines in Kent. This needs to be confirmed.

thread_title:  Possible Changes 

message: Hi Jonathan!
Sorry for writing late, but I have just finished reading your article on Lucilia. I also took a look at your notes on this talk page, and I do agree that chronologically putting the dates as the subsections are helpful for the readers to follow. There is plenty of information that you've found regarding the life of Lucilia from multiple authors' perspectives and I do find the explanations under each subsection clear and informative. Moreover, kudos to finding the vast amount of references and properly using them. As for the monotonous tone of writing "He wrote:" that you mentioned, I think the way it is right now is fine, but have you tried removing some of them completely? I find that this still gave more of a fluidity as I was reading, but that's just my personal preference. Also, minor fix, under the 'Twelfth century' subsection, I can't seem to find the name of "Day" mentioned anywhere else but here. Is there a full name that can be provided and/or perhaps a hyperlink? In addition, is there any luck finding an image of Lucilia? I feel that adding one at the beginning would give a nice touch to the page. Other than that, everything else in the article is superb quality. Good work!
Kindest regards, 
Jonathan Lee
:Thank you! The Twelfth century mention of 'Day' was a typo, so thank you for bringing my attention to that.  I will also try to incorporate some of your comments into the page.JonathanWeid (talk) 17:12, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Birdworld - secondary sources 

message: Right folks,
Let’s see if between us we can resolve this dispute as adult Wikipedians. As it stands, the article is now a perfect example of what many outsiders criticise Wikipedia for, including, but not limited to, the lack of good faith shown by some editors.
Rather than being bold, and simply reverting to the very first edit made here in 2007, and before taking this up at Wikipedia:Requests for comment, I’d like to see if we can reach some sort of consensus – the essence of Wikipedia? - as to how to proceed with this article.
I see that at least two administrators have been involved at times here, and I, for one, would appreciate some sort of input from ‘em, but other editors need to get involved here also.
Mutual accusations of hijacking the page are hardly examples of good faith... and reverting to previous versions verges on vandalism, so let's get the show on the road and solve this. Cheers!--Technopat (talk) 22:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Best solution would be, assuming that both Birdworlds are notable, to create two articles, Birdworld (UK) and Birdworld (Australia), with this page as a disambiguation between them. And both pages must be free of copyrighted text, they shouldn't be partial or whole copies of the park's websites. Fram (talk) 06:08, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The original Birdworld article was hijacked in Nov 2009 by a one shot editor replacing it with the Australian one.

Talk:Ornithological Applications

message: As of January 2021, The Auk is named Ornithology and The Condor is named Ornithological Applications. I have made the necessary changes in content and moved the articles, but a few things might bear improvement:
*Peculiarly, there is the statement of intention to change the names  from 2020, and there is the undeniable fait accompli of changed names from 2021 onwards  - but I couldn't find a dated statement about the change itself taking place; no press release or similar. That's some unexpected coyness on part of the publisher of two 100+ year-old journals. If someone can dig up this up, it should be added as a reference.
*It looks as if there is as yet no updated official journal abbreviation for the new titles. At least the usual abbreviation databases don't carry any. Not sure if that takes a while to happen, or if they will just stick to "Auk" and "Condor"? If this is updated, please adjust infobox.
*Should the box images replaced with current covers? I'd say no - the used images are already historical in that they show subtitles no longer in use ("A Magazin of Western Ornithology"), so might as well leave it at that.

message: I find the final sentences of the introduction cryptic and awkward. It reads like an automatic translation from some other language. What does this mean?
" two subtractions are then performed in a specific order to classify it in the more technical, formulaic values given by this system. It thereby can focus on the less apparent, when unmodified for viewing, first two groups of these wavelengths to the human eye. This in turn provides maximal contrast with other readings (values) of apparent or (when adjusted for distance) absolute magnitude."

replies: text:  This is still counted as a message board/forum. Further to my points above, I cannot find any of the 23 comments that actually completely agree with what you are saying. Your content reads: "Whilst the movie has been welcomed, it has been criticised by a limited number of users of the music news and review site Gigewise, commenting on an article about the film, some criticised it's portrayal what they see as modern commercial pop and rock bands like Blink 182 and Green Day as punk rock and reopening the much debated subject of the validity of these bands claims that their music is a continuation of the same punk rock movement rooted in the sixties and seventies". However, the comments only consist of claims that such bands are "not punk". They do not say anything about punk music in the 60's or 70's. You also do not provide evidence that blink or green day are considered pop or rock...check out their wiki articles, they have sources that say punk rock, pop punk and alt rock. What you are doing is interpreting these comments to fit your own agenda, and so not only are these comments unverifiable, but they also do not say what you claim they do. Nouse4aname 08:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  i do not have an agenda, please cease these basely accusations, if you want to see the genre dispute check out the discussion pages of the bands in question. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Green_Day/Genre_disputes  Claims that they are linked to the punk rock movement are very much questioned on those pages by fans and all around the web. Also the article contains the comment made by Steve Diggle of the Buzzcocks to that effect. The Punk rock wikipedia page cites noted music journalist Ben Myers also for the dispute. Their clearly is a dispute between the mainstream, mtv, commercial radio defintion of punk rock and it's habit of using the term as a broad umberella for all commercial pop-rock/pop-punk/alt rock/garage rock etc bands which influences many people and the more learned defintion of the 60s/70s movement.  --Neon white 15:10, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
