Talk:Northampton & Lamport Railway

message: I have moved the article back to "Northampton & Lamport Railway", citing further proof that this is the correct name of the organisation and therefore the article. Below is a transcript of an article published in Premier Line, the quarterly journal of the Northampton & Lamport Railway Preservation Society, issue no. 36, Spring 1994.
What's in a Name
When we changed our name to Northampton & Lamport Railway two years ago it was to create an image of a railway with it's roots firmly set in the pre-grouping era. As was the case with most of the early railway companies, the name indicates the intended destinations of that railway although neither of these places are yet served.
If you look at the southern end of what we today call the "West Coast Main Line" it was originally known as the London & Birmingham Railway. In virtually every instance where "and" was used it was represented by an ampersand ( & ). Consequently we chose to use "&" in the same way.
Northampton & Lamport Railway is a trade name, the "&" forms part of the trading style and should always be used in this form. We would therefore ask that if any member has need to refer to the name of the railway in writing, that they remember to use the "&" and not "and" as it is important to be consistent.
I suspect that we will still occasionally see the old name of Northampton Steam Railway in print for some time to come yet. In fact that name only applies to the operating company. Old habits die hard, but we must all try to lay them to rest.

message: I've been reading Peter Stiff's A Silent War, and I found the sections towards the end (about cross-border assassinations of ANC operatives) particularly interesting. I'm thinking about writing about this on Wikipedia, but I'm not sure of the best way of doing this. Add it to this article? Start a new article about this phenomenon? Make a list of people assassinated during the apartheid struggle?

message: Is it possible to have a definitive list of all units that comprised II Anzac Corps (maybe having a year by year breakdown)?  In fact I would like to see more detail on Wikipedia in this regard, although it could get complicated.  I am currently reading a book entitled 'History of the Sixth Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment Volume I - 1/6th Battalion' by Captain E V Tempest, DSO, MC and was quite surprised to find out that...'On September 24th (1917) the Battalion was transferred from XVth Corps of the 4th Army to II Anzac Corps of the 2nd Army (Sir Herbert Plummer)'.  I was also surprised to find out that when they were posted to France in 1915 they also spent some time as part of the Indian Corps in 1st Army before joining VI Corps of 2nd Army.  There must be plenty of other units that were transferred in similar circumstances. 2.25.109.91 (talk) 20:52, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The Royal Navy Marines are sometimes considered to be a navy branch of special forces, but are definately not as elite as the SAS or SBS are. They do not also operate in as much secrecy and 'cloaking'. They are also a much larger force, and there is much more information concerning them.
: I understand what you're saying, but this isn't a page about special forces of the UK; it's about the UK Special Forces group, of which the Royal Marines are not part (they belong instead to the United Kingdom Amphibious Forces group, which has its own  director).
: However, your point is valid; how do you define 'special forces', and does the definition encompass the Royal Marines or not? They are the heirs of the commandoes of WW2, who one instinctively feels to be special forces; yet, as you point out, they lack the clandestine nature of the SAS/SBS. How do other countries define the term? In the USA, 'special forces' refers strictly to the Green Berets alone: are they more like the SAS or the Royal Marines in selection, training, role, tactics, secrecy, etc.?

Talk:Citation form

message: The concept of citation form described in the article may be found in contexts like speech analysis and the teaching of English, but it's not its usual sense in linguistics and lexicography (which is synonymous with headword or lemma). This other sense can be found for example in this article ("The citation form for nouns (the one normally shown in Latin dictionaries)") and this article ("The Citation form shown is the form most commonly shown in dictionaries"), defined in this online dictionary ("The form of a word that heads a lexical entry and is alphabetized in a dictionary") and described in this pdf ("A lexical item is an abstract unit, and it must always appear in one or another of its various forms. Therefore, we are obliged to choose one of those forms to represent the lexical item when we want to talk about it. The form we choose is called the “citation form” of the lexical item. The citation form (or dictionary form) of a lexical item is the particular grammatical form of it which we use in naming it, talking about it, and entering it in a dictionary").

Without the disambiguation page I would not have known that the page I wanted was Lemma (morphology) and not Weak form and strong form, both of which list "citation form" as a name for the concept. Perhaps the DAB would be better served as a hatnote, or if the two articles are really about similar enough things then there should be a merge or other restructuring of the articles instead.
