Talk:List of mountain passes in Colorado

message: Just curious as to where this comes from.  See, for example, this pic  which I took on my holibobs in 2005 or this one  from 2003.  Some of the other figures appear to be at odds with those in my road atlas too. Mr Larrington (talk) 14:08, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I wouldn't assume that the road signs are correct.  The change in elevation models from NGVD 29 to NAVD 88 some years back made many Colorado locations several feet higher.  For example  Independence Pass article references an NGS datasheet  that gives an elevation 4.5 ft higher than the sign at the pass.  As for using the convert template, the normal version doesn't work properly in a sorted table. But as I recall, there is a special version that does sort properly.  --Footwarrior (talk) 23:15, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Map Error 

message: The article does not discuss local government before 1889. My inexpert summary is:
*–410: Roman Empire
*410–1066 (Roman Empire to Battle of Hastings): Welsh kingdoms and principalities
*1066–1284 (Battle of Hastings to Statute of Rhuddlan): Welsh principalities and Marcher lordships
*1284–1889 (Statute of Rhuddlan to Local Government Act 1888): Lords Lieutenant, feudal sheriffs, quarter sessions
Is this accurate? Can someone with more expertise in this area please expand the article. Some of this is covered in other articles, including History of Wales and History of local government in England, and links to other articles would help.
Is it accurate to say "Between the Statute of Rhuddlan (1284) and the Local Government Act 1888, local government in Wales operated in a similar way to local government in England"? I would prefer for this article to be expanded to cover this period in Wales, but a link to the corresponding English article would be better than nothing.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Shore City Magicians Club

message: Wikipedia's guidelines - "Notable means worthy of being noted or attracting notice."  The SCMC was chosen for a special feature in New Zealand's Metro Magazine, the only magicians club in NZ ever to be featured in such a mainstream publication.  The club and it's members recieve coverage in many local newspapers every single year.  The club was also profiled (more than once) on TV2's "What Now?", the most highest rated and longest running children's television programme in NZ's history.  Wikipedia's guidelines : "Please consider notable and demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment .. " The SCMC has been the guiding force in the careers of entertainers who are now full time professionals, in some instances travelling the world entertaining tens of thousands of people on cruise ships every year.  Each year the SCMC runs the successful "Shore Is Magic!" public show in several theatres in Auckland.  When you consider how many people attend these shows or see shows and performances by the members of the SCMC the numbers are up in the thousands.  I suggest that by Wikipedia guidelines the SCMC is certainly worthy of being classed as notable. Phantomwiki (talk) 23:11, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Thick as Thieves (2009 film)

message: The film is described as "a crime/heist film produced for sale in overseas markets". What does this mean? And where is "overseas" in this context? The impression I get is that it's a cheap US b-movie, not good enough for theatrical release, produced specifically for the direct-to-video market outside the US (so as not to embarrass Morgan Freeman); but it's not immediately clear that it isn't e.g. a European co-production intended for the US market. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:49, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Colonial Laws Validity Act 1865

message: I just had to add in the word "not" in the sentence "Thus it confirmed that colonial legislation (provided it had been passed in the proper manner) was to have full effect within the colony, limited only to the extent that it was not in contradiction with ("repugnant to") any Act of Parliament that contained powers which extended beyond the boundaries of the United Kingdom to include that colony." Its omission completely reverses the meaning of the sentence, obviously. I can understand why it was missing, but because I think that sentence is a bit long and unwieldy, but I can't think of a better way of putting it at the moment.
By way of explanation, it appears to me that the purpose of the Act is to make clear that the only reason for declaring a local act void is inconsistency/repugnancy to an earlier act which specifically extends to that colony. This deliberately excludes than the common law, or acts of parliament intended for operation in the UK. Therefore, repugnancy with an act of parliament can still cause a local act to be voided, but only in a clearly defined set of circumstances. This is accomplished by having two sections in the act, "Colonial Law when void for Repugnancy" (sec. 2) and "Colonial Law when not void for Repugnancy" (sec. 3).
Hope that clears things up, and maybe someone can turn my musings into good enough english to put in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.63.190 (talk) 14:27, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:French Renaissance architecture

message: I would question that the Lescot wing is a good example of French Renaissance architecture. its Mannerists motifs are leaning more towards the forthcoming classicism than the retrospective French renaissance. On another note, I am surprised to see that both Napoleon III style and Second Empire architecture are listed as further reading.Last time I looked, the former was a redirect to the latter . There is also, the slightly more informative, Second Empire architecture in Europe. I think there needs to be some merging here, or there are going to be a lot of very confused people. especially as all three pages exemplify the Palais Garnier. Thoughts please? Giano   (talk) 17:03, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks to you both for your comments; it's nice to know that someone actually reads these articles.
As to the additional links, you're absolutely right; most had nothing at all to do with the topic. I've taken those out.  More relevant ones could be added. 
As to the Lescot Wing (or at least the portion of it facing the courtyard) the sources I'm using place him and it  in the Renaissance. Robert Ducher in "Caractéristique des Styles" uses it as the main illustration of  the second French Renaissance, along with Ancy-Le-France and the Chateau d'Ecouen.  The Architecture du Patrimoine Francais also puts Lescot as an example of the peak of the French Renaissance.  The Texier book cited features his work as an example of the Italian taste and the French Renaissance.  Goujon is generally described as a Renaissance sculptor, the best of them.  Lescot's work may also have characteristics of other styles, and can be seen as a foretaste of classicism, but his work certainly seems to me to be part of the French Renaissance.

text: The policy [user:Gandalf61] referenced may have changed during those 10 years; I do not know. But it is still pretty clear from that policy (WP:NOTHOWTO) that solutions, whatever they are called, should not appear here, and certainly not in the absence of reliable sources. Things that are clearly true or easily verifiable still need a source, not just (I think) to substantiate the claim, but also to demonstrate its notability. I haven't checked the Soma solutions (though I am a compatriot of the inventor and the happy owner of a home-carpentered Soma cube), but there is probably a better chance of finding usable sources there - and if not, they should be removed too. -- I do think that the photo of the extended (non-folded) snake could be replaced by the top part of your figure as it shows the lay-out more clearly (though it would, for this purpose, be neater without the numbers).--Nø (talk) 13:35, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
