Talk:Fort Christina

message: Most of the 18th century sources I have looked at state as fact that the Swedes had arrived in New Sweden in the year 1627, with Peter Lindstrom building this and other forts by 1631, but that it was destroyed that year by the Dutch.  Has this been discounted, or is it perhaps a fiction made up by Oxenstierna to establish a prior Swedish claim?  Til Eulenspiegel 15:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Speakers Corner (TV series)

message: So what was this show actually called?  The sources aren't unanimous:
*Speaker's Corner: The Star, Moses Znaimner
*Speakers Corner: The Grid, Aux, CityNews, CBC
And according to Now Toronto, the original series was Speakers' Corner, and the 2020 reboot Speakers Corner.
Based on the above, the most common spelling would appear to be Speakers Corner, so I have updated the article to reflect this. 162 etc. (talk) 23:02, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Reedy Island Range Rear Light

message: This stub is mixing information from the Old Reedy Island Range with information from the New Reedy Island Range. In 1904 the names of the ranges were changed when the new Reedy Island Range was created causing confusion then, and now. For more information please see http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=457 . Note that information regarding which range was renamed "Baker Range" may be wrong (also see link given below).
The present Reedy Island Rear Range light is still in operation and is located in the village of Taylors Bridge, DE. The lighthouse keeper's house at this location was destroyed by fire on 4/6/2002. 
The present Reedy Island Front Range light is located approximately 2.8 miles distance on a bearing of about 11.3 degrees true in what is now the Appoquinimink Wildlife Area at the edge of the Delaware river. 
The lighthouse that was once located in Port Penn, DE was the rear range of the Old Reedy Island Range. The original lighthouse keeper's dwelling still stands. The Old Reedy Island Front Range light was located on Reedy Island.
Apparently, the light that is on Reedy Island is now called the Baker Front Range light and may possibly be the same light at the same location as the Old Reedy Island Front Range light. See http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=885 for more information.
Any comments will be much appreciated.

replies: text: Yes, this is completely messed up. There is still an Old Reedy Island Light, which is actually in the bay south of what remains of Reedy Island. It does not function as a range light and has nothing at all to do with the present range. Mangoe (talk) 21:14, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Isentropic flow

message: It would be better if the two articles (Isentropic flow and Isentropic process) be merged under one topic say isentropic processes. Both relate to the similar concept, with isentropic flow being a special case of isentropic processes. This would save some trouble for a casual reader.

Talk:Katherine Hadford

message: I have two issues with these edits. First of all, it's unsourced. I have no problem believing that she changed coaches. But saying she's Hungarian, without the American added, makes it seem like she has only Hungarian citizenship. Second, it removes information about why she switched to competing for Hungary. Furthermore, according to her ISU bio, she didn't start competing internationally until 2006/2007, after she had already won the bronze medal at Hungarian nationals.

Talk:U8TV: The Lofters

message: Did the decision to "censor" the show in the second season have anything to do with its cancellation? I recall a lot of folks decided to no longer watch the show (or visit the Internet) when it no longer offered 24/7 access to the loft. I'd hate to speak to the lowest common denominator, but obvioiusly a big appeal of these productions (especially back in 2001-2002 when they were still a novelty) was the possibility of catching someone in the sack or topless or whatever. (I remember one episode where Hedger discusses how she shared sex tips over the Internet with people who had watched her have sex with someone over the cams)  Surely the decision to eliminate this for season 2 must have resuled in a hit on the ratings, but obviously without a source this is just speculation. 68.146.8.46 15:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Roads (novel)

message: I'm not sure as to the appropriateness of the Red Jacket Press reference (now listed under Notes).  The linked site does indeed verify the date of  publication of the Arkham House edition and the original appearance in Weird Tales.  However, it is clearly a commercial site seeking to sell a reprint of the book.  Additionally, all four of the other listed references do indicate the Arkham date.  They also all list the Weird Tales appearance, though the Nielsen does not give the date.  Does anyone else have thoughts on this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rtrace (talk • contribs) 03:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Twelfth Army (United Kingdom)

message: I've made a start on expanding the article by incorporating much of the information on the fictitious 12th Army that was created for use in the Mediterranean and Middle East from the book The Deceivers: Allied Military Deception in the Second World War by Thaddeus Holt. However there are some things I need to nail down such as the notional composition of the British III Corps at the time it was attached to the 12th Army. Similarly, if it can be found, a copy of the 'Husky' order of battle for the 12th Army would be immensely useful. Finally I'd like to ask one of the more graphically inclined members of Wikipedia to consider making graphics of the formation insignia.Graham1973 (talk) 12:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:And Chaos Died

message: Although I wrote this article in the format of a review, I intend to show that this book goes far beyond the scope of a novel, that it challenges our commonly held beliefs, and offers in their place a very real alternate way of approaching reality. If Wikipedia is going to mention an author, I feel that giving a challenging glimpse into the work of that person is wholly appropriate. Objecting to this article on the grounds of Wikipedia not being Amazon.com seems petty to the point of absurdity. On such grounds, the scope of Wikipedia can be reduced to a minimalist version of pedantic trivia, such as offering sterile lists of author's names and birthdates and no informative content at all.
I could change this article into a discussion of Joanna Russ, mentioning the book more obliquely.  However I have not yet met Ms Russ, and know little about her except what I may surmise from reading her published work.  Since this is the case, and I feel making a statement about her importance and the importance of this book is significant, I think the article I wrote is the most honest and straightforward approach, and I feel Wikipedia should have room for it.

Talk:Colin Higgins

message: This article needs rewritten. There's several actors and Hollywood folk by the name of "Colin Higgins", and you seem to have confused three of them, here. Per IMDB link you use here, this Colin Higgins only had two acting credits & was mainly a writer/producer  https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0383359/#actor; that particular IMDB link doesn't even match the info in this wiki article! On top of that, the actor Colin Higgins who played "Malcolm" in Miss Marple: the Body in the Library (1985) was yet another Colin Higgins entirely. He's not the one you describe in this article, nor was he the one in your IMDB link. The Colin Higgins of that Miss Marple episode  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088833/?ref_=tt_sims_tt  was born in the UK, had over 50 acting roles to his name, and didn't die until 2012 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0383360/?ref_=tt_cl_t21 . I only discovered this by accident, as I was watching the Miss Marple episode & wondering where I'd seen that particular actor before. i'm not knowledgeable enough to untangle the mess of this article, though.
