message: Should a more accurate information replace current vague one? Recently Tim started sharing his memories on working on the Fallout 1 and 2 on youtube. Specifically video titled "Why I left Fallout 2" after about 12:56. And according to him the real reason he left Interplay was not because of "disagreement about the future team structure" but because he was burned out and Brian Fargo was unfair to him at a point when he was already exhausted from crunch and unhappy being roped into F2 development. This pushed him over the edge and he decided to leave while Leonid and Jason joined him. 2A00:1370:8178:1504:DD3B:B29C:551:E03F (talk) 18:01, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Tullahoma, Tennessee

message: I wonder what we should say about growth.  The last edit (anonymous) has scaled down my "grown greatly" to "slow."  I guess it depends on whether you are talking process or result.  A slow process, over time, may produce a great result, which is what I think we have here.  Perhaps many towns have grown faster, but compared to what it was when I was a boy (yes, quite a few years ago!), the place has unquestionably grown greatly.  RivGuySC 05:12, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

message: General Shoe Co./Genesco was definitely not founded in Tullahoma. Wemyss and the elder Jarman formed it in Nashville in 1924, as Wikipedia's Genesco page states. My grandfather went to work at General Shoe's Fifth & Main factory in East Nashville in 1928 (per personnel records I have) and met my future grandmother on the factory floor; married in 1932. He ran factories in Gallatin and Lewisburg before and during WWII, and I'm sure there was manufacturing in Tullahoma--but it was not the founding location.
I know Wikipedia has exacting standards for sourcing, and I'm not immediately sure how I can prove a negative in this instance, but I just mention so you will know. Tom Wood (talk) 01:59, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

From the article: "The logo of Østfold refers to the airborne puke of the vomiting bear of Eidsberg. The reason for this, is to remember that Eidsberg once was the capitol of Norway. Østoldinger like to hang on to this memory."
The truth from Østfold's website
"Symbolikken i Østfold fylkeskommunes våpenskjold er valgt ut ifra fylkets navn og geografisk plassering. Den skrått oppadgående solfiguren på rød bunn spiller på forestillinger fra en svunnen kultus, og er uløselig knyttet til forestillingen om den livgivende sol og naturens grokraft. Den flammeformede strålen betyr varme, de to rette spissene symboliserer lyset."
