Talk:Hume Dam

Articles exist for natural lakes (e.g. Lake Cowal, Lake Cargelligo, Wallace Lake, etc.). Yet where they are man-made reservoirs, the principal focus should be on the dam that created the lake and not the reservoir itself, unless it is culturally significant, e.g. Lake Burragorang, the Snowy Mountains Scheme, etc. Rangasyd (talk) 00:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Re:Merge

message: The construction cost listed for Hume Dam is incorrect. The listed cost is 1) a proposed cost, not an actual cost; and 2) it is only for the hydropower plant not the dam. The actual cost of Hume dam was about $30.5m (pers comm. KE Johnson, executive engineer River Murray Commission 16th December 1976) or $555m in 2011 dollars .CuanPetheram (talk) 07:37, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: If I'd found your first example, I'd suggest merging them, too. The second is borderline, but the lake article is fairly short. In this case, there is hardly anything useful in Lake Hume that is not also in Hume Dam. In fact the dam article has more useful information about the lake than the lake article does! As counter to the "most times" part of your comment, I offer Lake Mulwala, Mount Bold Reservoir, Happy Valley Reservoir, Barossa Reservoir as articles covering both the dam wall and the retained water body. --Scott Davis Talk 13:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: My view is still to merge, probably under the title of Lake Hume, but I don't feel strongly which name is primary (Hume Dam, Lake Hume, Hume Weir). I'd add the next upstream Dartmouth Dam as another example of lake and weir in the one article. --Scott Davis Talk 00:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:PartyPoker.com

message: The logos of this site and www.partypoker.net are incredibly similar, and I would be surprised if they were not under the same corporate unmrella.  Is partypoker.net a way for the company to advertise without certain licenses, or in states that don't allow gambling, and hope that people mistype or get redirected to www.partypoker.com?  Maybe this is perfectly legal; just wondering.
:They are owned by the same company. The .net site offers no way to gamble; the .com site offers real money games as well as free games.  Since the .net site has no gambling at all, it can be advertised. 2005 20:28, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I certainly do not claim to be infallible, and it is possible that I was mistaken about the time, but the accusation of deliberate falsification implied in the use of the term lies is uncalled for. I used three different sources to compose my contribution, all of them printed (and thus presumably at least as reliable as any online sources) and all of them in French and published in France or Belgium (thus presumably closer to the source than any English-language materials). The only one of these three sources that mentions a particular time gives "7 h 20" as the time when train 43 "tomb(a) en détresse à la station Barbès," which is the initial event that sets in motion the train of events leading to the catastrophe. I freely admit that this source does not say "7 h 20 du matin" in so many words, but (1) the 24-hour format is more customary in European sources than the 12-hour format, so if they meant "19 h 20" I would have expected them to say so; (2) all three of my sources are agreed that the disaster happened at the very peak of the rush hour (which is why the trains were so packed), which tallies with 7:20 in the morning; by 19:20 in the evening, the rush hour is essentially over. Therefore, although I may have been mistaken, I do not believe that my assumption that the disaster happened in the morning was unreasonable. Not all the information from the three sources at my disposal agreed with one another; in such instances, I have either left it out (you may note that although I identified the failed train as number 43 and the last train as 48, I did not identify the second train by number, because the available information was ambiguous) or made a judgment call based on two sources agreeing with each other against a third. If the information at your disposal leads you to believe that my account is mistaken in some particular, I suggest you provide that information; the article will be the better for your clarification. Mere cries of "lies," however, are neither helpful nor informative Vremya 23:51, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Heir of the Ancient Lord of Ávila? 

message: The name of Araba can not be Álava in English and not with accent, the official name of the territory is Araba/Álava, we could use just the official name or Alava without accent or Araba as Bizkaia officialy is Biscay because it has its an old translation to English but Gipuzkoa is written Gipuzkoa and not Guipuzcoa in spanish. I will wait 7 days to ask for a new page title.
There is another point that is important and should be explained correctly, Araba, Gipuzkoa, Navarre and Biscay are not provinces of Spain, the 3 territories of the basque autonomous community are called in Spanish Constitution "Historical foral territories" and Navarre has the status of "Foral autonomous community". The four territories have their own tax offices and a large list of powers about almost everything. This should be written and clarify.ElViejoVascon (talk) 00:03, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Category talk:Draughts players

message: I know this may look like a goofy category, but if there are categories for chess I think there should be one for draughts. I know draughts is maybe not as respectable, but it does have a long history. Checkers sites cite Benjamin Franklin, Edgar Allan Poe, Ulysses Grant, John Paterson, Garibaldi, Thomas Edison, Harry Houdini, Will Rogers and others as fond of the game. Samuel Johnson supposedly considered it the best pastime. stated Legend states the Queen of Madagascar played a form of draughts to keep her sharp. (Granted the obvious question is "which queen of Madagascar?", and sadly I don't remember)I'm hoping in time more players bios are listed here. And to help that out.
