Talk:Electricity market

message: I generally dislike using the news media, so I am not planning to put it into an article, but here, for the talk page, is a plain-English explanation of recent economic measurements of the effects of deregulation: Why Are Energy Prices So High? Some Experts Blame Deregulation (there is a link to the actual research with conclusions that I have added to the article). This is NYT, so it is behind the paywall, so here is the short summary: in the places with deregulated electricity market, the prices are significantly higher, the average household difference is $40 per month (in the parentheses: this agrees with anecdotal evidence of people who move between the still very regulated US South and significantly deregulated West). The causes are two-fold (see the scientific article) available at : (1) the generator, no longer under the regulatory pressure, extract much higher margins (2) the distribution companies add their own margin on top ("double marginalization" as the professors put it).

Talk:Richard E. Blanchard Sr.

message: While the permission to use the obituary is nice and all, this is an encyclopedia. At least some of the information normally found in an obituary is not encyclopedic. As a rule, obituaries tend to be hagiographic (and therefore not unbiased) and to include things that don't belong here. Plus, using only one or two sources is not recommended. Using multiple sources tends to provide a more balanced view, among other benefits. --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 03:19, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:John Francis Young

message: War Museum secures Victoria Cross

The Canadian War Museum has secured the Victoria Cross awarded to John Francis Young in the First World War. The museum now has 33 of the 94 Victoria Crosses awarded to Canadians between 1854 and 1945.
Young was one of the Magnificent Seven, men awarded Victoria Crosses for heroism in various Canadian engagements on Sept. 2, 1918, part of the era known as Canada’s Hundred Days.  Canadian units broke through the long-held and stoutly defended German Hindenburg Line in northern France,  at a cost of more than 11,400 casualties, including more than 5,000 dead. It was a major Allied breakthrough.
Young was  a stretcher bearer with the 87th Battalion, Canadian Grenadier Guards at the battle of Dury Mill on the Drocourt-Quéant Line in France. Despite heavy fire and with no cover, he dressed the wounded, repeatedly running back for supplies through hails of bullets. When the firing abated a bit, he organized parties to retrieve the wounded from the battlefield and transport them to hospital. He is credited with saving many lives. The citation for his award can be read on the Veterans Affairs Canada website.
There has been much debate over selling of Victoria Crosses awarded to Canadians to private collectors.  These medals can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction, then disappear into private collections outside of the country.
The Victoria Cross, awarded for gallantry in the presence of the enemy, was approved by Queen Victoria and introduced in 1856. It was available to all  military personnel, regardless of rank or social class.  In 1902 it began to be awarded posthumously, making it one of the few British decorations for personnel killed during their heroic actions.
No Canadian had been awarded the British Victoria Cross since 1945. And no Canadian has yet been awarded Canada’s Victoria Cross, unveiled in 2008.

thread_title:  Better photo available? 

message: The article said the 'rumor' was 'most likely untrue'. If it's a rumour, it should be enough to say that it's a rumour and leave it at that. However it might be confirmed by one or both of the following reference works:
* MacDonald, Ruth K.   Dr Seuss. 
Boston: Twayne Publishers, 1988.      (pp. 138-139). 
*    Silverman, Betsy M.   "Dr. Seuss Talks to Parents." 
Parents.   November 1960   (p. 13
Both of which are cited in the Snopes urban legend reference page as evidence of the rumour's veracity: http://www.snopes.com/language/literary/greenegg.htm
If anyone who has one or both of these books can confirm this, this would be appreciated. Thanks. DavidFarmbrough 15:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does Jonathan Cerf link to Bennett Cerf? StN (talk) 04:51, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Jonathan is one of Bennett's children. From the article history for Jonathan Cerf, it seems there was a short article about him, but it lacked reliable sources to show that he is notable, so an editor redirected it to the article about his father. If sources can be found for a separate article about Jonathan, or if there is another notable person with that name, I don't think there would be any problem with replacing the redirect with a regular article. --RL0919 (talk) 15:17, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

message: There is major mistake as article says that Bermont-Avalov's army captured Riga, Latvian capital (sentence - "In Latvia, they took the capital, Riga"). In reality they took only half of the city and were forced to stop further advance as Latvian army succesfully stopped them. For one month frontline was on the Daugava river (it seperates Riga in two parts) as no side could gain upper hand in battle. Latvian army's 11. november's attack broke Bermont's positions and drive them away from city. Riga has never felt to Bermont, but went througt a period of urban warfare and bombardment by Bermont's forces. I think that this sentence must be changed to something like "almoust fell to Bermont forces"!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.237.146.132 (talk) 21:58, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
