message: This article focuses entirely on English fiction, mostly written in nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. There has been a lot more fiction in this area produced widely and to date, other than Harry Potter. I'm not sure if there are other articles on Wikipedia which deal with the wider scope of this genre (nothing obvious came up upon a search), eg, the United States and non-English speaking countries. If it is meant to be primarily about British fiction of this type, perhaps it might need to have a more specific title, or perhaps it could be expanded to take account of the wider appearance of this fiction geographically and temporarily.

message: "Theatres need to count on the sales of overpriced soda pop, popcorn, and other treats, to profit from showing first run films."
Well - that's true, but not exactly neutral.  Can we maybe say "Theatres rely on the sale of heavily marked-up concessions in order to make a profit on first-run film."?

thread_title: Photo request

message: There has been some question in recent edits whether to call Seneca Falls a hamlet or a village.
In New York State, a village is a particular incorporated entity.  There needs to be a specific village government in place.  A hamlet is a less well-defined entity but generally refers to non-incorporated places that nonetheless have definite place names.  According to the article, Seneca Falls was a village up until the end of 2011, after which the village government dissolved, changing the nature of the place to a hamlet.  The size of the population is immaterial.  Many New York hamlets have populations exceeding 6,000, or even 10,000.  WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 04:26, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Village or hamlet 

message: The claim under "The growth of Seneca Falls through technology" that "By the mid 19th Century, Seneca Falls was the third largest flour milling center in the world, after Rochester and Oswego," is not denoted by any inline citation, and it is unclear where this information is from. The next inline citation points to a source detailing the history of pumps and does not support the claim about flour milling.
A quick search reveals one scholarly source that makes such a claim. It appears in page 470 of the book Historic Sites and Landmarks That Shaped America: From Acoma Pueblo to Ground Zero  edited by Mitchell Newton-Matza and published in 2017. However, a travel blog post in 2016 (citing no sources) claims that it was the third largest in the state, which would seem to agree with the information "after Rochester, New York and Oswego, New York," as only locations in New York are under question.
So where is this information ultimately coming from? Edit history suggests that this claim was made as far back as 2008.

message: The article says twice that Lacaille named 15 of the official constellations.  The second time it says that, it follows the statement with a list of 14, not 15 constellations.  As far as naming new constellations outright, I believe the figure 14 is correct.  He also proposed breaking up the huge constellation of his day Argo Navis into three, and his catalog went part of the way to doing that.  It has since been done officially, more or less according to his proposal--the new constellations being Carina, Vela, and Puppis.  Taking those into account, he arguably named 17.

This Nobel winner and author of The American Business Creed conceived of the idea of an eponymous “tax” on currency exchanges that would take away some of the incentives to engage in currency speculation. His ideas have become more popular in the wake of the Asian financial crises. 
Which would be James Tobin, who certainly is worthy of a Wikipedia article.  Indeed, there is one on him, one on his quotient, one on his regression model, and one on his tax. -- Jonel | Speak 03:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Education in Egypt

message: Even though this may be somehow a taboo topic, a major problem in education is the fact that the written and the spoken languages are quite different. Children must not only learn reading and writing they must also learn to do this in a language that is different from their first language. This is nowhere addressed in the article. I know that people will state that Standard Arabic and the spoken dialect "are the same language", but in reality both forms of Arabic are so different that without proper training they are not mutually intelligible. Television and videos may have spread the knowledge of Standard Arabic in recent decades but this does not bridge the difference between the two language forms. As far as I know, Standard Arabic which is almost the only written language, is hardly the mother tongue of any Egyptian children.
