Talk:Ordinary Decent Criminal

message: The term 'Ordinary Decent Criminal' (street name ODC) refers to the career criminal that does not profit from, nor deal in the supplying of drugs (heroin, cocaine, etc) Nor would the ODC participate in lower scale street crime, such as handbag snatching, house breaking or mugging's. An ODC is a well respected criminal within the criminal community. this respect is often seen to extent to the local community, as a true ODC would never commit a crime against 'their own'. Many of the more successful and wealthy Ordinary Decent Criminal's have been known to financially support their communities through the building of facilities for the local youth. In a way, some are perceived  as a modern day Robin Hood's.
The list of crime's committed by an Ordinary Decent Criminal maybe brutal and violent and though the ODC may kill within his criminal career, it is usually a last resort.
Many believe the Ordinary Decent Criminal is a dying breed. Younger criminal's coming up in the world today seem to have lost the understanding, that even with crime there are rules, a Criminal Code.

message: My general recollection was that the soundtrack got better reviews than the film did.  In a 2003 article in The Guardian the soundtrack was described as "excellent" but also "completely ignored by fans", (the author speculates) due to Albarn's terrible public image. The article was a 2003 review of an entirely differently album, so I'd prefer to find sources that are actually reviewing the soundtrack. If I can't find more and better sources I will probably use it later. -- 109.78.196.70 (talk) 14:58, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary

message: The section about the seminary's history whilst in Wauwatosa is rather laking, not even mentioning the plans to build a seminary of the present architectural style in the Milwaukee/Wauwatosa area.  I'll get on updating at least that part if I get a chance.  I have access to numerous historical articles related to the seminary as I'm researching the history of St. James in Milwaukee; once considered the seminary's chapel, and is currently across the street from the Seminary's location when it was in Wauwatosa.

thread_title:  2007-02-6 Automated pywikipediabot message 

message: I made the following changes:
1) Decapitalized most terms, in particular the names of governmental posts. I did this after consulting the Cambridge History of Japan. If they write shogun, shikken and kanrei using the lower case, I think so should we. Left some terms like Gosanke in the upper case even if both lower and upper case forms can be found with Google. 
2) Consistently italicized Japanese terms, except shogun and daimyo, which are now English. For the same reason I removed macrons from these terms. 
3) Removed redundant links. This part will require more work, which I plan to do in a couple of days. There are certainly mistakes, but given time they cam be fixed.
4) Made other changes, which I believe to be uncontroversial. 
I believe this to be a page worth being improved and somehow publicized. I discovered it only begause Fg2 told me about it. I wonder if there is some way to make readers interested in Japanese history aware of its existence.

Red is left as stable here, so this proposal is disjoint from the one at Talk:Isotope table (complete)#Red to gray?. Or, if we do adopt gray for stable, the 100ky+ categories can be shifted down one color, as the colors for 10k-100k and 100k-1m do not look very distinct, at least on my monitor. --JWB 16:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The distance given between the Prairie du Sac dam and the mouth is 93 miles, yet a distance of 200 miles from Portage to its mouth is given several other places.  The cities of Prairie du Sac and Portage are maybe 30 miles apart with Lake Wisconsin essentially in between them.  Where do these additional 107 miles come from?   The 200 mile figure seems erroneous right from the beginning.  Perhaps there's some geographic confusion between the city of Portage (in Columbia county) and Portage county (where Stevens Point is located)? Radon360 (talk) 18:12, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Distance Discrepancy?

message: I am removing the sentence from the opening section on 'navigability' because it conflicts with the fact the the Wisconsin is a "navigable river of the United States."  I am not disputing that in some sense the author of this sentence may be right, but it requires further clarification about what sense of "navigable" is intended, and unfortunately the in-line citation is stale.  Actually historically steam boats did run as far as Nekoosa, and steam boats did run regularly between Stevens Point and Mosinee, so even in that era it was navigable much further than Portage, as the sentence states.

Talk:Valentinian I

message: Perhaps someone can clear this up for me.
Early in the article it is stated:
    Rome came into collision with barbarian peoples never heard before. Specifically the Burgundians, the Saxons and the Alamanni.
While not thoroughly versed in Valentinian's reign or the Alamanni's travels, I'd like to point out that the Alamanni had already repeatedly fought Rome.  I'd point to many previous emperor's articles, including Constantius Chlorus'.  I wanted to check to see what was thought before changing anything.
* I removed the part that states 'never of (sic) heard before'.  The Burgundians (Burgundi) lived on the borders of the empire, so I think that it's unlikely that the Romans were unaware of their presence. EvilOverlordX 20:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This article makes it sound like the compression release was completely discontinued after 1997, but that's not the case. I don't know when it started, but most Briggs I've worked on have had an extra cam "bump" attached to a counterweight. This makes it so when starting the engine, compression is released, but once the engine is running, the counterweight gets rid of the "bump". Here are pics (non-free) of two different versions of this, but there are more versions then just these:
