Talk:Skeleton Man (novel)

message: Does anyone know how to make one of those templates for the bottom of the article, showing the books in order written, this series and others, by Tony Hillerman? It would have links in Wikipedia to all articles on the books, the author. See a book by Agatha Christie, e.g., The Mysterious Affair at Styles or Ellis Peters e.g., A Morbid Taste for Bones for examples of this template. I do not know how to make a template, or would do it myself instead of asking another. I added reviews that I could find on line, though missing what LA Times and Chicago Sun-Times said, and The Oregonian, who I think had different views than those already cited.  --Prairieplant (talk) 21:40, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:BBC Radio Durham

message: An anonymous (IP-only, 78.146.171.241) contributor has just added "with David Ward".  Further this seems to be the only entry made by this user.
Wikipedia contains a few "David Ward" entries, but none looks relevant (at first glance at least) to radio work in N.E. England.
So I'm undoing this edit, as it doesn't seem to add any significance at all to this encyclopaedic article about Kate Adie.
If the Ward association really is relevant to Adie's information, could our anonymous contributor get themselves a Wikipedia identifier? Then either link to the existing relevant Wikipedia "Ward" article (if any) or get the text to explain why this would be a substantive addition to Adie's article, in keeping with the rest of Wikipedia. Thanks.

Talk:123rd Battalion (Royal Grenadiers), CEF

message: The title of this page is not historically correct, but I have not found a way to edit a page title, so I must leave it to the moderators to make the correction.  The correct name of this Battalion was '123rd Overseas Battalion, C.E.F., Royal Grenadiers' (note the difference in punctuation between the page title and the correct title).  The correct name was authorized by His Royal Highness, the Governor General of Canada in December 1915.  A transcription of the letter from the Assistant Adjutant General, 2nd Division (Canadian Expeditionary Force) is as follows:
No. 2D-34-7-92
Toronto Canada December 22nd 1915
From  A. A. G. 2nd Division.
   Exhibition Camp.
To:  O.C. 123rd Overseas Battalion. C.E.F.
   71. Bay St. City.
123rd Overseas Battalion. C.E.F? [sic]
   Designation
I beg to inform you that his Royal 
Highness, the Governor General approves of the 
123rd Overseas Battalion, C.E.F. assuming a 
sub-title of the Royal Grenadiers, indicating 
its association with the 10th Regiment, Royal 
Grenadiers.  It will therefore be designated 
the 123rd Overseas Battalion, C.E.F. Royal 
Grenadiers.
(Sgd)   Mewburn,
   Colonel
A.A.G. 2nd, Division.

Talk:Quintus Pedius Poplicola

message: Much less is known about this person than a former revision assumed. The ancient sources are:
* an inscription of 41 BC (CIL 6, 358), naming a "Quintus Pedius" as quaestor
* the passage in Horace about an orator Pedius (Publicola)
* a passage in Pliny the Elder about a grandson of Quintus Pedius, cos. suff. 43, which shows that the elder Pedius was married to a Valeria. It is not clear if she was a sister to Valerius Messalla Corvinus or another relation (Messala orator, ex cuius familia pueri avia fuerat), so all speculations about cousins of this Pedius are futile.--84.190.109.101 (talk) 11:57, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  My question really was "what was a turret".  The ammunition, the hoists, the mount were all US.

Also the armour was supplied too, which rather surprised me (German armour was better, and Britain could have supplied it easily enough).  Not sure about the mounting track, or where that was installed - but Belfast had no ability to build such a thing.

message: user:Andyjsmith has nominated this article for deletion. He and I had a quarrel a few days ago, and apparently he is now going through my entire history to undo/delete all of my contributions, 2 years running. Our personal issues should not impact Wikipedia content, so I have removed the tag, and I apologize on both our behalves for the silliness.
Jovian Storm was the brainchild of Joel Kosche, and in that respect it is the precursor to Grammy-award-winning Collective Soul. This has been established in many prominent rock magazines as noted: Rolling Stone and Blender reviews which, unfortunately, predate internet records (remember the 90s?) so are unavailable for direct linking--a problem we have covered already. Any time Joel Kosche is interviewed he discusses Jovian Storm, even as recently as the April 2010 issue of Classic Rock Magazine. Jovian Storm is history, and as long as Collective Soul and Joel Kosche are notable, so is their inception.
Please don't allow this article do disappear just because two goons had a quarrel on Wikipedia. Rock on, friends. Wikisicky (talk) 01:05, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Latinisation in the Soviet Union

message: This is missing a key fact (covered in a documentary I watched earlier this year): the USSR had a programme of Latinising one local language then Cyrillicising a neighboring one, with the specific intent of producing mutual unintelligibility. This was focused especially on areas of Turkic and Siberian languages, to thwart the growth of large cultural and regional senses of identity and ability to coordinate resistance and share socio-political and cultural literature and other inspiration.  I have no reliable sources on this (even the docu was a tertiary source), and have no library of USSR-related stuff. Someone who does could probably bang this out pretty quickly.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:52, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
