Talk:Prewar television stations

message: I have removed the title "Table of Experimental Stations" from the table for several reasons. 
1) First, because "experiemental" was a term used only in the United States; licenses in the U.K., Germany, France, and the U.S.S.R. were not termed experimental. 
2) Second, and most importantly, because it is a distinction without a difference. Technically, the systems in used in the U.S. in the 1930s were no different from the systems in use by the BBC at the same time. 
3) Third, because all U.S. television licenses were officially "experimental" before July 1941, and many licensees continued to broadcast under experiemental licenses as late as 1947, although from a technical standpoint their broadcasts were no different than those of their commercial brethren. With that noted in the introduction to the table, it is not necessary to insert for every pre-1941 station that its license was experimental.

Talk:Andrea Costa

message: I don't have the privileges to rename the page myself (or maybe I'm missing something, despite following the advice under Template:Renaming), so I'm writing here.
The page needs to be renamed, because the man's surname was "Costa" and not "Còsta":
–Accented vowel characters are very rare in Italian spelling (other than in the final syllable of a word). In fact, "Costa" is a common surname, and is pronounced with a stress on the [ɔ], but the stress is not signalled with an accented "ò", and the spelling "Còsta" is unheard of.
–All other wikis I checked use the spelling "Costa", including the Italian page: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Costa
–The authoritative reference work "Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani" also calls him "Costa" without the stress: https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/andrea-costa_(Dizionario-Biografico)/
I am guessing that the wrong spelling crept into this page from another authoritative source, the "Enciclopedia Treccani", s.v. "Còsta, Andrea": https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/andrea-costa/. However, the accent there is just a lexicographical device and a pronunciation aid! This peculiarity of the ET can be observed in any number of lemmata, such as "Alighièri, Dante" https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/dante-alighieri/ or "Vérdi, Giuseppe" https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/giuseppe-verdi/. <^^,===,<=> (talk) 16:44, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Stanley (author)

message: The article says he's buried at St Martin-in-the-Fields but I found this saying he's buried at the church in Clothall. It also says he was born there, though his place of birth isn't mentioned. How accurate is this? AnemoneProjectors 12:29, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The article now says he was born in Cumberlow, Hertfordshire - the only Cumberlow I know of is Cumberlow Green, literally on the border between the parishes of Clothall and Rushden, so that is probably accurate. His death and burial place is still disputed though. AnemoneProjectors 14:30, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Out of interest, I decided to look up his records on Find My Past - I found a baptism in Clothall dated 3 September 1625 (here, subscription required), and no death record, but I found this probate record (again, subscription required), which is dated 1677 and is for "Rushden Cumberlow Green". A copy of that document can be purchased from Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies. These are the only two records I can find that look a possible match for this person - and I also tried to find records relating to his two wives and his son but nothing came up. AnemoneProjectors 15:11, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

text: I wonder why there's no death/burial record available for him, especially as there is a baptism. I don't really know what the probate record would tell us. But I'm glad we have a more reliable source. I'd quite like to know why the people of hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk think he's buried in Clothall. Perhaps there is a monumental inscription with his name on it. Cumberlow Green on the parish boundary of Clothall so I don't dispute it as his birth place. AnemoneProjectors 19:36, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh wait, I just decided to broaden my search and found his burial record under the name "Thomas Stanly" (the spelling being the reason I didn't find it in the first place). If you have a subscription, it's here. But it indeed says he was buried at "St Martin In The Fields". AnemoneProjectors 19:40, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Turkish Property Boom

message: The reasons given for the "speedy deletion" label are incorrect.
The stated reason: "all of its revisions are unquestionably copyright infringements taken from http://www.turkisheconomy.org.uk/buying_property.html" is incorrect.
I have just finished writing the entire, not that it is very long, article. I did not even use the webpage mentioned as a resource. The only parts that I did not write myself were taken from a website that is linked with permission in the external links section of the page.
While searching for related topics on this article found Foreign purchases of real estate in Turkey.  These two articles seem to be about the same topic and should probably be merged together, but I think that someone more versed in the topic would be better suited to do the merger so I put the tag up to open discussions.

thread_title:  Untitled 

message: As a non-American, I have difficulty figuring out what a "soda fountain" actually is from reading this article. Surely it can't just be the drink dispensing machine that they squirt a Coke out of whenever I go to McDonalds, as indicated by the second picture in the article?
In one of Bill Bryson's books, where he talks about his childhood memories from the 1950s, he talks about sitting on a twirly stool at a marble-topped counter at which soda was served to him - that is what he described as a soda fountain. 217.155.20.163 19:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, a "soda fountain" can mean both the machine that makes sodas and an establishment that sells sodas. The article does say this, although suggestions about how it can be made clearer are welcome. —Chowbok ☠ 18:16, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Most people would consider a soda fountain to be an establishment, often part of a larger business like a drug store, with a counter that people sit at on stools (and/or possibly with tables and chairs) with a server or servers behind the counter making sodas (flavored carbonated drinks) with or without ice cream and a variety of other ice cream based dishes (floats, sundaes, etc.). A lunch counter would be similar but the workers behind the counter would principally prepare and/or serve other foods (burgers, etc.), although a soda fountain might also serve such foods as well. Calling any simple dispenser of sodas a soda fountain is, at best, marketing hype by the machines' manufacturers trying to glorify their product by making the association to a true soda fountain. Most people would refer to it as a dispenser, drink machine, etc. and not a soda fountain.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.90 (talk) 10:24, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
