message: Unnamed in the NYT was Chris Gier of the Gasden Times. Excellent article reproduced here: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1891&dat=20020301&id=bc4wAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QN0FAAAAIBAJ&pg=1291,12006
This could be incorporated into article about Carter, especially Anna Lomax's remark that James Carter was "the missing brother"  (don't have time right now). Also needed is a wiki article about the ballad "Poor Lazarus" and about bad man ballads as a category, if it hasn't been done already. "Po Lazarus" was collected and hand transcribed by Howard Odum and James Johnson as an example of a bad man ballad in the early years of the twentieth century. They speculate is is based on a real incident. I have heard it was John A. Lomax's favorite song. The James Carter version is especially powerful. Also the opening staging of the three convicts in the chain gain was based on Alan Lomax's 1959 photo.Mballen (talk) 08:11, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:James Morris (bass-baritone)

message: The album cover for the Met Opera Laserdisc video recording of The Ring of the Nibelungen has been removed from this article by two different editors. WP:NFCI and Wikipedia:Non-free content have been linked to explain these edits. Even after reading these linked pages, it is not clear to me why this image violates the fair-use policy. The video recording is a document of one of the singer's most import roles, which is stated in the lead, along with critical commentary on the recording itself. The image is only used in this one article. So why exactly does this situation not meet the requirements for fair use? --Robert.Allen (talk) 20:38, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I see now that the footnote for Rule No. 1 excludes usage in articles not about the album, except in cases where the critical commentary is about the image itself. Personally I think we should delete this footnote, but I'm sure that would be very controversial. --Robert.Allen (talk) 19:59, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following paragraph from the article because it needs to cite a source for it to comply with Wikipedia's Verifiability policy.
:Rivera's 2001 album Seasons was discovered to have violated U.S. copyright law when a listener in the United States, who had purchased the album through an authorised source, discovered a cover of the 1994 Kathy Troccoli and Bill Montvilo song "My Life Is in Your Hands" on the album. The song had been altered and was deemed to have violated copyright law as the alterations were made without permission of the BMG Music and Mr. Montvilo, the copyright holders of the song.

Talk:Darwin Region languages

message: I could not locate the source for the proposal for "Darwin Region", especially one made by Mark Harvey himself. Here are all the relevant sources I could find:
* Dixon 2002: Mentions a "Darwin Region Group" covering Umbugarla, Limilngan-Wulna and Larrakiya, i.e. those currently covered by the article. I assume that this was the main source of information for this article, but the problems with Dixon's classification schemata have been well covered (e.g. Evans 2005 "Australian Languages Reconsidered").
* Bowern 2012: This is a database which contains no justification for the grouping "Darwin Region". I know of no other work where Bowern reviews the grouping so I assume this is the product of her lexicostatistical work.
* Harvey 2001: Does not mention a "Darwin Region" as a genetic grouping. He clearly states for Limilngan that "If the paradigms are sufficient to establish Limilngan as a member of the Australian language family, then Limilngan is related to most of its neighbours. However, this relationship is the same as that which would hold between Limilngan and almost any other non-Pama-Nyungan language." He does propose a sprachbund however that includes Limilngan-Wuna/Wulna and also of "languages along the southern Van Diemen Gulf coast", including Gonbudj, Ngaduk, Larrakia and Gaagudju.
* Harvey 2002: Refers to a sprachbund "which extends eastward along the coast to Darwin [from the East Alligator River]" consisting of Larrikiya, Limilngan, Umbugarla and Wuna, presumably the same as above. Nothing about a "Darwin Region" family.
* Harvey 2004Harvey, M. D. (2004), Larrakia dictionary. ATSIC, Yirra Bandoo Aboriginal Corporation. 92pp.: No mention of any relationship information.
None of the chapters by Harvey in Evans 2003 make mention of any Darwin Region grouping, nor does he deal with any of the languages in question in any depth. This page sorely needs a good source where the proposal is made (or better yet, defended), but otherwise there is no basis at all for calling this a "proposed language family" and it is at best an areal grouping akin to the Daly languages page. 2A02:2C40:100:B206:0:0:1:DFA0 (talk) 12:12, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Lillooet Country

message: While something may turn up that precisely defines this region, there are numerous usages available in GoogleBooks and elsewhere to demonstrate its validity.  Essentially the Lillooet Country corresponds, rather exactly, to the traditional territory of the St'at'imc peoples, at least in its original meaning, as the Pemberton Valley is now seen as more part of the Sea-to-Sky Corridor
*Google Books search "Lillooet Country" excluding Wikipedia, 339 results.  Note that the sense of "the country of the Lillooet [St'at'imc]" is interchangeable with non-native references.

* "Magnolia Mountain / Janet Pressley", CityBeat
* "CEA Music 1997", Nominated in folk, album of the year (Late Last Night), & artist of the year
* "CEA Music 1998", Nominated in folk, artist of the year/critical achievement category (Pressley also performed at the award show that year, but apparently lost to "Uncle Daddy and the Family Secret").
* "CEA Music 2000", Nominated in Folk & Singer-songwriter catagories

I have have my retirement funds in 
Vanguard and began taking the RMD two years ago when I turned 72.
This year I requested my RMD as early in the new year as possible. On January 5 the funds were transferred into my bank account. A substantial amount was transferred to the IRS to cover taxes. Then, on the 17th of January, an automatic RMD deposit was made, apparently unnoticed that the transfer had already been made . A large amount went to the IRS. Vanguard tells me that they can reverse the transfer, except for the amount paid to the IRS.

To me, he seems like a shaky showman whose every representation ought to be examined carefully for accuracy.
It is claimed he has a "law degree" but no institution is named.
It is claimed he has a PhD... but neither institution nor discipline is mentioned.
Since he is forever holding himself out as an "expert" it might be useful to know if his credentials are real... and. if real, if they in any way are meaningful to his alleged expertise in UFOs.
Certainly a law degree of any sort is totally irrelevant to this endeavor.
Since he has an interest in selling his magazine... he also might have an interest in over- or mis-stating his qualifications.
