Talk:1984 (Westinghouse Studio One)

message: I suggest that the WP:HAT "For the BBC 1954 version, see Nineteen Eighty-Four (UK TV programme)" is unnecessary per WP:NAMB, "It is usually preferable not to have a hatnote when the name of the article is not ambiguous." The title of this article, 1984 (Westinghouse Studio One), is most certainly not ambiguous and, likewise, the title of the other article, Nineteen Eighty-Four (UK TV programme)), is not ambiguous.
Anyone typing "1984 (Westinghouse Studio One)" or "Nineteen Eighty-Four (UK TV programme)" already knows with great specificity the target article and needs no further direction. On the other hand, the great majority of users would not be typing such extremely specific article titles, especially with the inclusion of parenthetical qualifiers, but would simply type "1984" or "Nineteen Eighty Four" and, upon reaching the primary topic for either 1984 or Nineteen Eighty-Four, would continue on to the 1984 (disambiguation) page where all the other uses are listed.
Thus the hatnote atop "1984 (Westinghouse Studio One)" is not needed and represents clutter. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:54, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Connecticut Route 72

message: Back in the day when I lived in Connecticut, I used to have a map.  In fact, I still have said map.  However, it was from 1989 (and another from 1990).  It had an extension (as mentioned in the section table) that bypassed Bristol.  However, as far as I know, this extension was never completed.  Now, I don't know if this new boulevard concept is the realized version of this or not, but I thought it might bear mentioning somewhere in the article.  I'll find said maps and try to scan them if I can.  --Son (talk) 08:01, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The expressway was indeed originally planned to Bristol and Plymouth (up to Route 8 I think). I'm not sure when it was finally cancelled. The boulevard extension is just a regular four-lane divided highway with several signalized intersections. It does use part of the right of way of the original expressway but is definitely not the same as the original plan. It would be a good addition to add whatever information you have regarding the original expressway plan. --Polaron | Talk 16:26, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Route 169 (Connecticut–Massachusetts)

message: I moved and updated/expanded an infobox about Pomfret Street Historic District to be placed instead in Pomfret, Connecticut article instead.  I note now that before i was even finished with my several related edits, that Polaron reverted the removal here.  Meanwhile, I redirected Pomfret Street Historic District to the Pomfret, Connecticut article.  So now, there are two copies of the infobox.  I think it is natural to cover a NRHP historic district, which consists of a number of contributing properties, in the town article or in a separate article about the historic district alone.  It seems redundant to include the infobox in an article about a highway/road that runs through it, although the highway article can of course mention it. doncram (talk) 03:37, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A well-developed road article does discuss the structures along it so that should not be an issue. Also Pomfret Street *is* Route 169. It is also one of the reasons this is a national scenic byway. --Polaron | Talk 03:40, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi there, user:Walter Görlitz reverted my edit, and in his comment asked if there was a need to repeat the noun. I would say that in this case yes, since the sentence reads "cold water and ice", it is helpful to repeat the word "water" for clarity, as the inclusion of "ice" after "water" , as a secondary object, makes the sentence "cold water rather than hot" sound awkward. werewolf (talk) 03:19, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Conland–Whitehead Highway

message: Isn't it the "Conlin Whitehead Highway?"  That's what a recent DOT press release calls it.

Of course, several sites refer to it as "Conland-Whitehead."
:You might be right. The ConnDOT route log refers to it only as "Whitehead Highway". "Conlin-Whitehead" is also used in several places at the ct.gov site so I don't think it is an error. Plus other sites do seem to use that more than "Conland-Whitehead". I'll dig up some more information to make sure and move it to the correct name.

Talk:Shouson Hill

message: I've copy edited it but it still needs consideration for appropriate content, and some references.
The statement "It is probably where the British took the name for the colony of Hong Kong" is wrong, to the best of my knowledge, as it was nearby Aberdeen that gave rise the name 'Hong Kong' (see Aberdeen_Harbour).
The WWI and WWII section contained this unclear passage (now removed pending clarification):
:The bunkers are now abandoned and run down. In the early 20th century, locals who owned workshops and such were evacuated to the area in the circumstance of an air assault from the Axis Powers. In the end, this idea was a failure because when the Japanese invaded Hong Kong, they infiltrated small communities including: Repulse Bay and Shouson Hill.
Does this evacuation refer to WWII or 'early 20C'?  And does 'in the circumstance of' mean 'in case of' or 'in the event of'?  What does infiltrated mean here?
Perhaps Normalchaos can respond, as he/she seems to have done much of the early work on this page. Thanks for that.
