message: There are several problems with this.  1) it is not lede material that a person is ancestor, several generations removed, to someone making an ancestral claim to something or other. 2) the lede is supposed to summarize the article, not present some random nugget of trivia that is not found in the article. 3) Any relationship to someone just making an ancestral claim to something or other isn't noteworthy unless someone other than a Wikipedia editor thinks it is - it is not the job of Wikipedia to play the genealogical equivalent of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. 4) WP:BURDEN says that unreferenced material that is removed should not be restored without a source.  In this case that means a source that explicitly thinks this relationship is noteworthy with regard to the princess. Agricolae (talk) 02:35, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Cowboy Bebop (album)

message: So, I hope someone else noticed that the personnel entries for all the Cowboy Bebop albums are completely wrong. Someone's been up to some shenanigans, and completely changed the album entries. Such jazz greats like Josh Redman, Al Foster, Chris Potter, and Gary Bartz, among others are listen as personnel when in fact they are not. Also, the label has been changed to Blue Note, and individual articles have been changed to conform with these falsehoods. It seems to asinine to do something like that, so I'm wondering if I'm wrong, but I own all of the albums and anyone can see that someone is screwing with wikipedia again. Anyway, I'd like to let someone in charge know so this can be corrected, as it is not fair to the jazz artists listed, and especially unfair to the artists not receiving any credit, especially the Japenese artists whose work is so fantastic on these albums, only to see it attributed to American artists with already distinguished pedigrees.

I agree, it's definitely not the Ellens Dritter Gesang. If anyone has the liner notes and could give us the composer I'd be thrilled, it's a wonderful piece that I'd like to know more about.

message: The article is called BRW culture, however, as far as I can see, it is not considered a single culture, but a technique that was widely used in India in different times. See also Singh, H.N. (1979): 'Black and Red Ware. A Cultural Study'. Most texts thus avoid using 'culture'. For instance, Singh, U. (2008): A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India. From the Stone Age to the 12th Century does say 'Painted Grey Ware (PGW) culture', but doesn't do the same for BRW. Also the literature used to reference the first sections, Ragupathy and Southworth, don't call it a culture. I therefore suggest to stop calling it a culture and focus more on the wide spread of BRW through time and space. BoH (talk) 05:00, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

message: The name of the article should be changed as "Bombay Dock Explosion(1944)" to avoid confusion and there were several explosions in Bombay (Mumbai) after 1944,particularly in 1990s onwards. For more clarity, I propose to move the page from Bombay Explosion (1944) to "Bombay Dock Explosion (1944)" as this is worst harbor explosion of India/Asia and the word "dock  explosion" is used widely to mention this tragedyRayabhari (talk) 06:49, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Renaming the page as "Bombay Harbour Explosion(1944)"  

message: In a number of sources the name of the ship that was blown out of its dock and landed on top of the harbour wall is given as Japalanda rather than Jalapadma.  This probably dates back to a newspaper report at the time which was then used as a source for future material. I first saw this name in a description in "Secrets and Stories of the War", published by Readers Digest in the 1950s/60s. A primary source such as the official report on the disaster would presumably resolve this. Hyperman 42 (talk) 13:46, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: SS Jalapadma

message: The article says
:Around 2 km^2 (0.77 sq mi) were set ablaze in an 800 m (870 yd) arc around the ship
What does this mean? My best guess is that "arc" should be radius, but the area of a circle with that radius is 2.01 km^2, but some of that (up to half, depending on the exact position of the explosion) is water. Nø (talk) 17:12, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Bombay Presidency

message: Sovereignty or Suzereinty
It is stated without any specified source that the the Maratha Gaekwad rulers of Baroda acknowledged British sovereignty as consequence of the Second Anglo-Maratha war which ended in 1803. I wonder if what is signified here is de jure sovereignty or what in actuality was acknowledged by the Maratha Gaekwad rulers was suzereinty, which needs be acknowledged as a distinct form of legal autonomy. --Xact (talk) 04:11, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Oh, man.  I really hate to vacilitate after being a staunch pro-single advocate, but I'll be damned if Every Day Is Exactly the Same isn't being sold with a sticker promoting it as the the remix companion to With Teeth (a la Fixed, Further Down the Spiral, Things Falling Apart).  This despite Reznor's earlier claim that there probably wouldn't be a remix companion to With Teeth .  I was wrong in claiming the release should be subordinated to the song; I guess that's what happens when you make up your mind before having the release in hand.
So, what the hell?  Maybe the article should have two infoboxes?  Make the primary infobox the EP/Album infobox at the top of the page, and then made a separate section ("The Song") and put the single infobox there without a cover image? - Rynne 13:50, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
