Talk:Whayne Wilson

message: Hey all, nice to see our players are being looked upon... one thing though: I am a Costa Rican soccer fan, but I never in my life recall hearing Whayne Wilson was born in Senegal. It would be a rather peculiar fact about him, since most blacks in Costa Rica were actually born here, or in extreme cases, maybe Jamaica. I might be wrong but I thought I'd state my comment here. ArquiWHAT dec 23rd 2005
:You are correct. According to an article in Al Día, he was born and raised in Limon. I've changed (and referenced) the city of birth. Jogurney (talk) 02:19, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Loango National Park

message: "only significant example of a typical western African lagoon system that is protected within a national park." The word significant means that there are other examples but this one is being made to look more important. Sounds like opinion. If it has been called the only significant example, then that could be noted and cited but otherwise I would rephrase... "a western African lagoon system located within a national park."

Talk:Safeguard Program

message: Since no one, excluding Joema, seems to care what the name of this article is, I'm suggesting Safeguard Program and modifying the template.

replies: text: I may have been wrong when I added the #2. I guess it depends on the year of the "plan" that the article talks about. SRMSC.org has an image of the 1969 "plan" and is shows 7 PAR's, located on the US perimeter, not Whiteman AFB. In any event, construction began on only 2 and only 1 was completed.

thread_title: External articles helpful for understanding MDCT

message: This "simplified" version is not particularly helpful to those of us trying to explain to ourselves that it does, in fact, work as prescribed. The reason I put up such a long and exacting derivation was to make it very clear to those who had to deal with the TDAC but had little expertise in general signal processing that it provably works.
I know at least two scientists that have benefitted directly from the "unsimplified" derivation on this page, and I see no reason to reduce it along with the usefulness of the page in general.

Talk:Petachiah of Regensburg

Talk:List of Acts of the Parliament of England to 1601

message: Adding move template because capitalisation is wrong. James500 (talk) 18:37, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: in a paper in Statute Law Review (26:3, pp. 189-200) Nigel Jamieson arguess that the Acts of the Long and Little Parliaments, 'as seen to satisfy the legislative protocols of their own time, such acts and ordinances are arguably either statute law, or else, through subsequent parliamentary confirmation, are given the force of statute law". That said, though, he also points out legislation from the interregnum is hard to find and difficult to verify. He points to the (probably apocryphal) legislation outlawing the celebration of Christmas. All of that is to say I think the most responsible track would be to leave out Acts from that period as scholars cannot themselves agree which were legitimate, etc. 64.146.4.31 22:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:AIDS Memorial Grove

message: The page currently states, "Congress and the President of the United States approved the 'National AIDS Memorial Grove Act' in 1996, which officially set aside the deLaveaga Dell land in Golden Gate Park as the site for the first AIDS memorial in the nation."  The "National AIDS Memorial Grove Act itself wasn't passed (H.R.3193 and S.1992 of the 104th Congress).  However, H.R.4236 the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 1996 passed (Public Law 104-333), which designated this a national memorial.  This Omnibus bill combined multiple bills into this one bill that was passed. My issue is the article doesn't properly document this and it has a source that backs up its incorrect statement.  Although, I would consider congress.gov to be a more authoritative source. -- MicahDCochran (talk) 23:06, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

message: It is noted in a recent news article that the 'former chef de cuisine' of Le Bec-Fin was Peter Gilmore, who now runs "Gilmore's French Cuisine" in West Chester, Pennsylvania (opened in 2001).

Other information in this news article includes: the venue is located in an 1890 townhouse; there are 36 seats and two seatings per night.

message: The dates given for the demotion are using two different standards and are therefore inaccurate. The guide's ratings are released in the calendar year prior to the official publication year. The ratings are released shortly before publication, I believe sometime in September or October, to the public. I believe this is done to take advantage of the holiday buying cycle. In any case, the point is this: Le Bec-Fin was indeed told in 2000 that it was being demoted to four stars, but for the 2001 Mobil Travel Guide. Two years later, in September 2002, the five star rating was restored to Le Bec-Fin, and published in the 2003 Mobil Travel Guide.

replies: text: I've reverted the move. The official website uses "and" in many places in the text, so the "&" appears to be purely stylistic. I'm not sure exactly what the guidelines are on "&" in titles, as it is used in many titles such as "Barnes & Noble", "AT&T", etc. We'll need to get this clarified if we decide the common name uses the "&". BilCat (talk) 20:05, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think the MOS is clear.  It can be used in "AT&T" (that is the official proper name) and in places where space is limited like a table or infobox.  It could also be in direct quotations.  But otherwise it should be spelled out.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 20:08, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

text: The move was because the official NPS website uses "&" instead of "and". There is nothing against using ampersand in page names when appropriate. I also realize the distinction is trivial and would be fine either way. But I would argue following the name used in the official website is most appropriate, essentially being analogous to "AT&T".
