Talk:Mason Locke Weems

message: The quote attributed to Weems in the opening paragraph of the article is bogus. Weems never wrote, "I cannot tell a lie..."Hilltoppers (talk) 14:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: quote in opening

message: The phonetic spelling of the name Weems and his unreferenced Scottish ancestry suggest that the original family name might have been Wemyss. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 21:15, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That may be the case. My family is descended from Mason's brother James and I have done extensive genealogical research, in both the US and the UK. To the best of our knowledge, the American Weems family *is likely* descended from several siblings who immigrated to Maryland in the early 18th century, who belonged to the greater Wemyss family in Scotland. Sadly, there is no directly verifiable evidence to support this, other than inference and consistent family lore. Evansknight (talk) 14:11, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  original family name 

message: In September and recently in October - here etc - a source/reference was added. I think we should have a discussion here about whether or not to include the Bish/Gardiner article & the self-published Bish book as a reference. I do have concerns about the website (liberty1(dot)org) & its publisher (Institute for American Liberty) that published the Bish/Gardiner article - both are complete unknowns. Also, Bish's book I Can't Tell A Lie: Parson Weems and the Truth about George Washington's Cherry Tree, Prayer at Valley Forge, and Other Anecdotes is self-published. Nothing against Bish or his possible bona-fides but was there an editor, is there any kind of internal review?...self-published so for me it's all an unknown if the book is a reliable source or not. Shearonink (talk) 16:12, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I would like to know more about the authors and the scholarly process of their article, if it was peer-reviewed or published in a recognized journal. Evansknight (talk) 14:13, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pronunciation? 

message: A figure is given in the infobox for the length of the Teme (130km / 81 miles) but no source is given for that figure. Elsewhere in the article it is stated that it is the 16th longest river in the UK but the given references do not include the information to back up that assertion - there's no reference at the Longest rivers of the United Kingdom page either. Due to this uncertainty I have painstakingly measured its length on OS mapping and determined it at 134.3km / 83.5 miles - I'd be confident of the accuracy of the figure to within 0.5%. This is of course original research on my part so cannot be included in the article but it does at least give an idea of what a true figure should look like if and when an editor finds a suitable reference out there! cheers Geopersona (talk) 05:01, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Sources, even from official bodies, are conflicting. They range between 122-130-139 kilometres (the last of which may include a stretch of the Clun). Given that the river is liable to flood and cut across meanders, older records won't be trustworthy either. Sweetpool50 (talk) 15:05, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Bliss (virus)

message: "When executed, it attempts to attach itself to Linux executable files, to which regular users do not have access."
I do not know a lot about Bliss, but from what I read, it seemed like the program rather tries to infect all executables that the user has access to, regardless of their location. It can't infect files that the user is not permitted to change, but if the user being infected is running the root account, the virus can infect everything.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.40.128.194 (talk) 17:37, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Comments

message: The graphic used in this article needs changing, although I cannot do this myself.  It is a common type of diagram of the sort often found in music theory textbooks, showing the major and minor keys arranged in a circle, demonstrating how all the keys link into a circle when you move up or down from one tonic note to the other by perfect 4ths or 5ths.  However, the diagram lacks the keys of A-sharp minor, C-sharp major, A-flat minor, and C-flat major.
However rare these keys may be in actual music, they should be included, because their key signatures are valid and recognized ones, and the keys do exist, and these keys are a valid part of music theory, especially in considering enharmonic equivalents of remote sharp or flat keys. M.J.E. 14:42, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Graphic of keys arranged in circle of fifths needs altering to include 7-accidental keys. 

message: The positioning of the table of contents in this article looks wrong, somehow, but I cannot quite figure out how to correct it.  It seems to be in the middle of the passage describing related keys to C-flat major, but I'm not sure whether it would better come before or after this; I guess this would depend on whether the bits about related keys were considered part of the introductory summary (which, as far as I can tell from other articles, normally comes before the table of contents), or whether they should be a whole section of their own, which would then come after the table of contents.
Since I'm not sure how to correct it, I mention it here to bring it to the notice of someone who knows how to do it. M.J.E. 16:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bridge or Pont 

message: The "structure" section quantifies the bridge's use of "freyssinet cables," without further clarifying or linking to other articles that might elucidate matters. A quick web search seems to suggest that it's the name of a company that produces such materials, which raises two points: 1) Is this mention--which does seem a bit out of place--appropriate? and 2) if that is a proper name of what appears to be a US-based company, is there any reason for the use of lowercase?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nieuwe Nederlander (talk • contribs) 04:42, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

message: I've now removed the uncited genres from the article twice and they have been added back twice.  The explanation I have given in the edit summary is:

Please find a reliable source for this claim before restoring it.
The issue with this content is that it is primariliy that it is unsourced, and secondarily that, by my judgement, it is mostly wrong.
