thread_title:  BLP no picture 

message: I think the following passage would serve better bumped up to the last line of the lead (rather than the last sentence I grafted on), but I didn't feel like making a larger rework: 
:From 1971 to 1974, Fredkin was the Director of Project MAC at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He spent a year at Caltech as a Fairchild Distinguished Scholar, working with Richard Feynman, and was a Professor of Physics at Boston University for 6 years.
I don't think his tenure at MIT deserves more mention than this, as this make it sufficiently obvious. — MaxEnt 04:52, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Bast shoe

message: First, while I can see including this in the Russian section since bast shoes are said here to be something of a Slavic iconic cultural item, they are actually still in use in the Western Himalayas and probably other areas and perhaps deserve to be included as a sub-category of "Shoes" as well.
Second, while I don't know about the location of documentation, a friend has recently emailed me that they were intrigued to see bast shoes for sale in local markets in the Parvati Valley, Himachal Pradesh, India. Probably the forest department of the State of Himachal has some scholarly documentation on them, as might other Indian institutions like the Crafts Museum in New Delhi.
Third, as with many traditional crafts in developing areas, depending which plant is used, and how, there may be a sustainability issue if the shoes should become popular export items. It is better to anticipate this and develop substitutes in advance. It is a bit of a soft issue, but this places the topic potentially in the category of industrial sustainability problems.
Finally, one doesn't know if they make shoes, but in parts of Madagascar the people continue to use bast fibres for local cloth. Bast usage in this role used to be very widespread in Africa, but has given way to other types of fibre in textiles recently, notably cotton. A similar phenomenon has occurred in the Himalayas, with bast cloth of hemp, pineapple, banana, and local nettles (sisnu) giving way to machine-spun and powerloom woven cotton and wool, with a small revival of some bast cloths as a craft export and for tourists. This leads to the issue of whether a wider Wikipedia topic of Bast fibre textiles is not warranted. I personally would like to see it. Bast fibre cloth, especially when the thread is handspun and made up of tight plainweave woven on a backstrap loom, is often very beautiful. One wants that the art not die out. FurnaldHall (talk) 01:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It will be very interesting to see the expansion of this article for other cultures.

Talk:History of the west coast of North America/Archive 1

message: The west coast of North America consists of the modern American states of California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and arguably Alaska and parts of the Yukon. - what about the west coast of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama?  RickK 06:18, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)
:In Canada its not uncommon for NA to only refer to Canada and the United States, that is the meaning I used here. - SimonP 06:37, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)
Including California, but excluding Baja California is arbitrary and artificial.  Also, calling British Columbia and Yukon Territory as American states is somewhat provacative, and likely to be disputed as factually inaccurate. I'm going to apply a cleanup tag on the article, to get more eyes looking at it. Gentgeen 07:34, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

It shows a "HVDC Pacific DC Intertie - Sylmar Static Inverter Plant" and a "HVDC Pacific DC Intertie - Sylmar West Static Inverter Plant". The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) (also see GeoNames) search page is currently down so I can't verify it but 7282457 and 7282458 are probably their feature ids.  The Geonames database (or whatever it is called; I see multiple names) is an official database of names. So probably the names for those features are the official names.

Talk:Agua loca

message: This article is a joke. Agua loca is not a real cocktail. It is a slang term in Mexico (and other Spanish speaking countries I think) that refers to a cheap alcoholic punch made from very cheap spirits and juices or other soft drinks. Un lindo gatito 09:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm putting a "disputed" tag on this. Agua loca is certainly not an ancient recipe, nor is it a true cocktail. In northern Mexico, at least, agua loca refers to  highly-alcoholic punch prepared in mass quantities (40 liters or more per batch) using  soft drink and/or some kind of fruit drink as a base, to which a low-quality source of alcohol is added (rum or vodka, or regional spirits such as aguardiente, barronche or mezcal). The only defining characteristics of agua loca are its cloying sweet flavor and fruity scent. It's a favorite at university student parties. The only fact in the current article is the intoxicating potential of agua loca: the author is right, it will sneak up on you, since it's so sweet and heady. Kwarizmi 18:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The Mission San Francisco de Solano of Sonoma records that a "Francisco Solano" was one of the first natives baptized in the mission 1823/24. Some say that was Sem-Yeto. By all accounts, Sem-Yeto moved to the mission in its founding years with his people and was present at the time, however, if he was already baptized at the San Francisco Mission, theoretically he would not need to be baptized again. So the first baptism at the mission in Sonoma might be another neophyte named after the same Catholic saint. Genealogists may look into if the Chief was baptized twice. There is an entry in the ledger, but is it him? Possibly, Sem-Yeto went through baptism at Sonoma as a sign to all his people to come be baptized and join him.

thread_title: 'Flames'

message: The steer head seems to ba relict from the high-middle-ages. A speciality about heraldic symbols of that period is the existens of two different traditions. On the one side we have the heraldic-system from the west, where the cote of arms (Wappen) was given to a heir of titles and rights, on the other hand was an archaic tradition of personalized sysmbols - mostly animals or phantastic beeings (dragons a.s.o.). Coming back to mecklenburgs steer-head, on has to admit the disambiguation of it. A very common explanation is to be found in the `Doberaner Anthyr-Lied´ (from the early 17.Jh.) and says that it is a relict from the hero Anthyr (the first mecklenburgican, sic!) who was coming home from his conquests with Alexander the great. The latter, whose horse was called `bukephalos´ (steerhead!) send Anthyr back to his home on the expedition of that Admiral Nearchos on the ship `bukephalos´. There es a rhymed-chronick about the mecklenburgical dukes from the 14th. century, but i think the explanation is the same.--85.177.21.164 (talk) 22:23, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Bet Lynch

message: Can I just point out that until 1995 the Rovers was owned by Newton & Ridley, not the licensees.  This article speaks as if Annie Walker owned the pub, which she never did, and that Bet owned it between 1985-1995.  This is the practice of many brewery-owned pubs in the UK, where the landlord or landlady is simply a tenant. The premise of Bet's departure storyline was that the brewery intended to sell the pub, but Bet couldn't afford the asking price. I have edited the article accordingly.

replies: text: Even if the lyrics are public domain and can be posted here without legal issues, I think that they should be utilized to strengthen the article rather than comprise the majority of the article with no analysis or constructive use.  The lyrics are largely repetitive - the part most people are probably most familiar with is the chorus.  Do you think a better alternative to indiscriminately displaying the lyrics would be to display the chorus and maybe a verse and perhaps offer a supported analysis connecting the content to its Civil War roots?
