Talk:History of the petroleum industry in the United States

message: I believe this page should be removed. It is almost a caricature of history, and the information on Canada is highly inaccurate -- for example, the suggestion that "billions of barrels" of oil were produced in eastern Ontario. This is nonsense. The relevant material is adequately covered in history of the petroleum industry in Canada. The information on Titusville and Colonel Drake is also well covered elsewhere in Wikipedia. So is Spindletop. Pmbcomm 07:33, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel that the deletion would be somewhat extreme. Since History of the petroleum industry in Canada is so comprehensive now, I think that it would make sense to move this article to History of the petroleum industry in the United States and change its contents accordingly (i.e. "nonsense" about Canada disappears). As for dubious claims, they should be marked as such (by taking a pick from Wikipedia:Cleanup resources, of course). GregorB 12:41, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: GregorB is right, the article should be converted to History of the petroleum industry in the United States.  Unless any objects, I'll make the change.  Plazak (talk) 14:04, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Smear campaign

message: This article requires an historical dimension. Exactly how far back does the concept go, and how was it perceived in past historical contexts? For example, Bishop Adam of Orleton of Hereford used anti-'sodomite' smears against Edward II of England in 1327 and had also done so previously against the Knights Templar. Historicity would also dampen down controversy over current attributions of smear campaigns or otherwise.

message: The main problem of your addition remains: An article should be based on secondary sources, not on primary ones. For an explanation of that distinction, please see WP:PSTS.

Talk:Bush Creek

message: This page is a redirect to Adams Lake Provincial Park, which is at least a start class, and with photos maybe could be a B.  I de-linked Bush Creek on that page, where it redirects to.  I've been putting "stub" elsewhere on certain redirect pages, though not all (so far, as there are many); and as far as I can see all redirects should just be "low" importance unless they're critical ones like Vancouver BC; I've been wondering if we could come up with a "class" that's simply "redirect" instead of "stub", so we could sort them at some point; likewise a "cat" class to mark BC-category talkpages with (and those will vary in priority)

Talk:Buttle Lake

message: Hi, I can help update this page, I think it is a great candidate to bring up to spec in the WikiProject Lakes. 
The information in the Required Equipment section is outdated and maybe irrelevant so I would suggest removing this section, and if relevant, instead adding links to BC Parks pages where people can get up to date info. It would also be great to add a history section (can cross-ref with history on Strathcona Park page).

Talk:Cadboro Bay

message: Please note that this article is about the Cadboro Bay neighbourhood, not a place to label neighbouring communities as "tony", or "exclusive". Such descriptors do not abide encyclopedic style, and should be removed. This is not an argument against what you choose to call them, nor a defence of the communities themselves, it's merely the style of this project. Perceptions and labels for communities, if used commonly enough, may be permitted on those articles pages, depending ultimately, on editorial agreement. Thanks--Keefer4 09:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am originally from Victoria and have lived on Cadboro Bay Road, actually. But that is quite immaterial, and your impression of me is not relevant to this. Nor is any impression of a neighbourhood relevant to the article. I don't live in the area anymore, but tell ya what.. I'm gonna be in Victoria this week, and if I am not able to easily find and walk up and down Queenswood Drive, like I have many times passing through Uplands for example, I will keep 'secluded' in the article, although that does kind of contravene the 'original research' aspect of Wikipedia! But I think a bit of elaboration on 'secluded' would be useful in this case if it is to be kept (ie: how is it 'secluded'? is it gated?). Otherwise it does come across as something someone might say to stereotype a neighbouring community. Not like I've never done that on a blog, but it's not something for an encyclopedia. I did study several maps prior to deleting the reference last time, as I don't make a habit of doing these things without at least a bit of good ol homework. It's nothing personal, it just needs a bit of explanation or reference. And yes, I did reference the nunnery in my previous edit, because I assumed that was why 'secluded' was included. Please sign your posts with four tildes ~~~~ Cheers and good day.--Keefer4 06:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So I've done a bit more snooping, and I can see that obviously with some properties selling in the $10 million range, there is a clear element of 'upscale' to the area. And I can see from photos that the homes (at least some/most of them) are set back from the road and therefore secluded in and of themselves. I still disagree with the categorization of a neighbourhood as being "secluded" however. I look forward to my walk down Queenswood. Perhaps some re-wording is really all that is necessary here, ie: 'secluded homes' as opposed to 'secluded neighbourhoods'. Later.--Keefer4 09:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Canal Flats

message: I just noted the explanation of Baillie Grohman's plans (and pause to wonder if there's any family connection to Matthew Baillie Begbie - that's not a common surname...copuld they have been related on each other's maternal side?):
:The canal was part of a scheme by English/Austrian entrepreneur William Adolf Baillie Grohman in the 1880s to breach Canal Flats and divert water from the upper Kootenay River into the Columbia system, thereby sufficiently lowering the level of Kootenay Lake to reclaim the 48,000-acre rich alluvial plain in the Creston area and open up a north-south navigational system from Golden to Montana. The scheme was abandoned under pressure from the Canadian Pacific Railways, concerned about its Columbia River Crossings, and from Settlers around Golden who feared that their farmlands would be flooded.
I think that could be improved by commenting the Kootenay River was canal-ized in the Creston Valley since that time as a way for those (very rich) lands to be farmed....it may even be called the Kootenay Canal, I'm not sure, I'll look in BCGNIS; Duck Lake is part of the drainage project and I'd guess the Goat River estuary/confluence is also involved; I remmember sorting it out while charting digi-maps for bivouac....Skookum1 (talk) 19:21, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

message: a Popular television reference has encouraged us to look up what it means to "Mr Belvedere yourself".  After some checking around, it would appear to be a reference to the episode entitled "The Counselor" where Wesley is touched inappropriately by a camp couselor.  
Contrary to natural assumptions, "To Mr. Belvedere" does not mean to defaecate, or urinate in your pants, rather to ejaculate in your pants due to inappropriate touching, or having been inappropriately touched.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fropslack (talk • contribs) 19:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Pokot people

message: Unsourced info from Suk tribe:
:The word "Suk", as used to refer to the Pokot tribe, it was a result of English colonial visitors to the area now in northwest Kenya, who asked residents to tell them their name.  
:From caution, not wanting to give a stranger a personal name that might give them some power over them, each person asked would respond, "My name is Msuk", which, in Pokot means, "log" or "large felled tree".
:The English, hearing this name again and again, applied it to all residents of the Pokot region.
— mark ✎ 08:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I have made a few changes in this stub. The Pokot are not Kalenjin. This is a mistake made by the British who did not know how to 'classify' people. They preferred putting them within a group which is in itself a fabrication, more than a real family of ethnic groups.
The affirmation that pokot and nandi belong to the same ethnic background is acceptable only if one agrees that Chinese and Algerian people belong to the same family.
