Talk:Chacachacare

message: I'm planning to add material from this website and whatever else I can find on the US Army's Harbor Defenses of Trinidad somewhere. The headquarters was on Chacachacare Island, so I'm thinking of putting it in this article. Does anyone think the information should have a better home, or should I put it in a separate article? The material will somewhat resemble another article of mine, Harbor Defenses of Argentia and St. John's. RobDuch (talk) 20:48, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Sorry, I meant HECP rather than headquarters. Anyway, online resources are minimal about Trinidad's coast defenses.

Talk:Pearl, Illinois

message: I think it would be quite interesting if some of the background regarding Native American settlements in the area of town Pearl were noted here. I know that on top of the minds which are present, many Native American artifacts have been found including arrowheads axes and scrapers to name a few. It was an ideal location for Native Americans in that it provided and advantageous view Up and Down the River. I know that the University of Illinois has archaeological digs in Calhoun County and if I remember correctly they had also found artifacts and evidence of native presence in the area of the town of Pearl. I have more than one Native American artifacts that I myself found while growing up as a kid there, I will attempt to upload them to provide anyone interested with such examples, but there were thousands of various artifacts found there.

Talk:Peoria Heights, Illinois

message: Peoria Heights population
County/Township                   	Census	2008
Peoria Richwoods (cousub 63371)   	6533  	6130
Tazewell Fondulac (cousub 26636)  	0     	0
Woodford Spring Bay (cousub 71611)	102   	100
I offer this table because there has been some editing contention regarding whether Peoria Heights should be classified as being in Tazewell or Woodford County.  The source is the Illinois CSV file linked from http://www.census.gov/popest/cities/SUB-EST2008-states.html and the columns are 2000 Census and 2008 Estimate.  Peoria Heights has some very small amount of area in Tazewell County &mdash if I remember correctly, it may even be almost completely underwater.  There is a small, populated part of Woodford County that is inside Peoria Heights limits, however.  This map from the Census' American FactFinder shows the sliver that is in Woodford, but nothing in Tazewell.  (Green is civil townships, not city names.)  I don't know what to say in response to the claim that the Peoria Heights police don't know about Woodford County territory, except to check the tax records.  As for Tazewell: as I said, I think the parcels might be underwater a good part of the time, and one wouldn't be expected to know about that.  --Closeapple (talk) 17:58, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Otto Frankel

message: Family background and early life
Otto Herzberg-Frankel was born in Vienna on 4 November 1900, the third of four sons of a prominent and wealthy lawyer. Frankel was a relatively uncommon name in Vienna at that time, but to differentiate himself from a more traditionally Jewish branch of the family, Otto's paternal grandfather, a well-known author, added Herzberg from his mother's name to become Herzberg-Frankel. After his father's death, Otto chose to drop the hyphen and revert to Frankel.

Talk:Prospect Heights, Illinois

message: Dear Wikipediaers,
In a factually based effort to illustrate the city of Prospect Heights, both its good and bad, we fail to mention two very recent and pertinent occurences in our city.  First, there is a gentlemen's club on Palatine Rd near Milwaukee Ave.  I find this disturbing, but all opinions aside, this fact must be brought to light.  Secondly, the financial troubles surrounding our city government need to be mentioned.  From the transfer of the police station property to a realtor to signing a 13 million dollar loan with an Arizona developer who was recently convicted of embezzling money from a church.  This is not opinion, but fact and in the true spirit of preservation of history, we must mention both the good and bad of Prospect Heights.
I look forward to feedback from all of you.  (Bushwacka 23:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

It clearly says in WP:SELFPUB that self published sources may be used so long as
   1. the material is not unduly self-serving;
   2. it does not involve claims about third parties;
so yes it's ok to state the rate of growth of the company and cite the parent company's annual report - but it's not really appropriate to use this source to make claims about what consumers (third parties) became aware of.

thread_title: [[Clint Eastwood|Clint]]

message: The exact quote from the movie is: "Europe is like the size of the Eastwood Mall. We can walk to Berlin from there." So... he implies everything is within walking distance meaning it's small. He definitely means that because he's trying to convince his friend that it won't be a long trip to Berlin. Somebody edited the page and said that he meant that the mall is large. I personally believe people say you can walk anywhere in the Eastwood Mall because of its unique complex(not size). Where you can easily walk to retailers & restaurants not connected to the main building just by crossing parking lots and low-traffic/two-lane streets. No major roads run through any part of the complex area. That's probably also why I think it's fair to count those stores as retail space in the Largest Mall in America listings.... But that's not up for me to decide. And this pop culture reference should just be a pop culture reference not another place to argue if the mall is big or small. That's why I edited it to how someone had it before. Where it only states that the size of Europe is compared to the size of the mall. I think it's a good like that. It doesn't take sides on the issue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.189.43.216 (talk) 22:06, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
