thread_title:  Date of opening 

message: I note that Deadlake is now a circular link via a redirect to Victoria Park. The areas were not geographically coterminous, the Deadlake extending up to and possibly beyond the site of what is now Pennycomequick roundabout, Victoria Park abbreviating considerably prior to that by a distance of a quarter to half a mile. The Deadlake also has a distinct history, being the site of a number of events of albeit local historical significance, as well as the site of a place of public executions. I will probably set up a placeholder article of Deadlake for this and populate it as and when. Sjc (talk) 10:27, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Formality 

message: :"Food often became infested with insects. It did not take long for Union soldiers to get used to skimming beetle larvae out of coffee and sharing meat with maggots. As a result, many troops who were in the Confederate States of America developed a liking for southern cooking."
I'm confused? Granted, I'm a beer and a half in, but it seems to me that most of the Confederate soldiers would have entered the war with a fondness for Southern cooking, and I'm not sure what the Union soldiers having to deal with beetles in their coffee would have had to do with it. trepto (talk) 15:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Confederate soldiers didn't like Southern cooking to begin with?

message: I've decided to take up doomsday prepping as a hobby, and started working out supplies based on the numbers given here. These numbers make a lot more sense if we're talking rations per meal, not per day. To give just one example, the coffee "per 100 rations" works out to about a cup per ration. From a 99% Invisible episode, I know that Union soldiers were about as obsessed about their coffee as British soldiers are about their tea. It'd make a lot more sense if they were getting that much coffee per meal. In the larger picture, the calorie count just isn't working out for me. Unless we want to suppose that the Union soldiers were starved zombies, or they got at least half (more likely more, if they were exerting themselves, as seems likely) from outside sources, the rations given would again make a lot more sense if we're talking meals, not days.
I've tried verifying this through the source given, Hardee's Tactics. I found an html version online, but I couldn't find any mention of rations, or hardtack, or tack, for that matter (except for "attack" and "stack arms". A lot of info on formation drill, but nothing on food. Looks like the main source for this info is Ken Burns' documentary. Probably be a better idea to track down the sources Burns used to make the documentary. 75.134.32.147 (talk) 02:21, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Wrong

message: Mark Stevens' episodes were also live. Only the much later separate run, here said to have starred William Gargan, was filmed. I have seen episodes on the America One network with all four listed actors—including Stevens—and all were kinescopes of live telecasts. I know that a number of sources say Stevens did the filmed version, but they do not date it within the live run as this article does, nor do they claim a second filmed run, with Gargan or anybody else. And vice versa with those that say Gargan did the filmed version. This is the very first instance of claiming that both actors starred in two separate film incarnations of Kane in my experience, which is considerable. There is, I have no doubt, simply confusion as to which actor played it on film. Further note that the Wiki article on Ziv Television Programs gives the alleged Gargan/film version's title as Martin Kane, Private Investigator, not either title ascribed to filmed runs here.

message: The article says, "The one man with whom Harriette fell deeply in love, John Ponsonby...". However, the linked Ponsonby cannot be correct, since he died when Wilson was three years old. Wikipedia has two other candidates with the same name, whose age makes the relationship feasible: John Ponsonby, 4th Earl of Bessborough and John Ponsonby, 1st Viscount Ponsonby.

message: The history part of this article is overapping with the Potidaia article. Each one has many useful details which are lacking in the other. This is a pity, because somebody reading one of thme mught miss the information in the other. Either you consider the 20th Century Nea Potidea as being the same as the ancient Potidaia, and than everything should be in this article and there should be no sepeatate Potidaia article. In my view, this is a bit  artificial but you could make a cse for it. Or you should consider Nea Potidea as a 20th century place built on an ancient site with no direct continuity - and then the article should not contain information beofre 1922, just a reference to the other aricle.

message: Who decides that someone is the "Shadow Senator" of the District of Columbia?  Such a status implies a failure to comprehend the constitutional structure of our government.

While it might be possible to reduce the size of the District of Columbia, and make part of it a state, the Constitution requires that there be a federal district that is not part of any state.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.13.4.81 (talk) 15:59, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

There have been many articles written about the wagon Wheel in various media since 1949, and it continues to be of interest to not only Oxnard locals, but also people driving by on the 101 freeway, and those interested in mid-century and ranch-style architecture. The players in the story are dead and the businesses closed so it is not a commercial page but rather a page of regional information and a link to the architecture of the 1940s and 1950s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Schafphoto (talk • contribs)
