Talk:The Beaufort Gazette

Using the definte article in this case goes against the Wikipedia Manual of Style.  It is unnecessary for the purposes of Wikipedia and will only cause headaches in categorization.  Yes, in speech one always says "The Beaufort Gazette", just like one says "The ***" for virtually every other newspaper.  But every other newspaper is listed without the definite article. --AlexWCovington (talk) 05:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Tail code

message: The article is a good start, especially on the "what" of tail codes, but a bit more information should be eventually included on some of the "why". For instance, why do Pacific Fleet air wings have tail codes that start with an "N" as opposed, perhaps to a "P" (assuming the "A" for Atlantic Fleet air wings actually stands for "Atlantic", of course). No doubt there are other oddities and mysteries for the uninformed, such as myself. Here hoping they get (mostly) explained as the article is fleshed out further.172.190.25.12 (talk) 03:12, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Quaich

message: Extra 1911 info I thought wasn't really relevant: "They are found, of silver and pewter, in use as communion cups in various parts of Scotland; four, with the Edinburgh hallmark for 1722, belong to Ayr parish church; and a large one with the same hall-mark for 1663-1684 is used as an alms-dish at Alvah, Banffshire. The loving cup at Donaldson's hospital, Edinburgh, is a large silver quaich, with the Edinburgh stamp for 1724, which belonged to the founder of that hospital. The finest collection of these vessels is in the possession of the marquess of Breadalbane. (E. A. J.)" zafiroblue05 | Talk 03:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "According to the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, the quaich was inspired by the low silver bowls with two flat handles frequently used as bleeding vessels in England and Holland in the 17th century."
- I don't totally agree with this. While I think that the silver bowls were an influence, the Quaich is really a primitive cup, and as such resembles the small cauldrons which have been used in Europe since at least the iron age, if not before.--MacRusgail 11:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  I didn't ever expect this page to be blanked. 

message: One of the most inherent characteristics from Flowing Tears's sound is their balanced mix of gothic and doom metal elements, this can be seen all along their discography, so I've switched the genre from gothic metal to gothic/doom metal. 22:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have never thought of Flowing Tears as a doom metal band, especially their latter stuff. I can't say the same for their earlier stuff, while they were called "Flowing Tears and Withered Flowers" since I've never heard it, but what I've heard from Flowing Tears isn't reminiscent to that of doom metal if you ask me. Also, if this band were doom metal, then there would be many other sites saying that they were gothic/doom metal as well. Therefore, I wouldn't change their genre like that that quickly. Thanks for your cooperation, however. BTC 20:41, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

*Support. As the initiator, and also simply because if you even just take the train into the town, you see clearly Brennero-Brenner.  It is the same for all towns in this region, Bolzano-Bozen, Merano-Meran, etc., etc. This is a compromise that gets away from the constant bickering of this last year over which names to use.  We simply use what is used in the region! argg. :) Taalo 09:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Can we agree on a single convention for the towns of this province? Brennero-Brenner is what is actually commonly used to consider the Italian-German nature of this region.  By rights we should go by Brennero, simply because it is debatable what the true (if there is one) English equivalent.  I would like to maintain both names, again because of the special situation in this province.  Anyway! Taalo 09:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: My friend, if you can find consensus on that page, you are a better mind reader than I am. :) So you prefer a single name?  You mean using the Italian name only for all towns in the Province of Bolzano?  What is the pain in using Bolzano-Bozen, etc., and which is actually the way things are labeled in the region -- and what is for all intents and purposes a compromise?  By the way, you still have me confused how you think the province is South Tyrol.  Even in German they call it the Provinz Bozen.  The South Tyrol purely reflects a name for the region.  The license plates on the cars will set you free!  If you see one with ST on it instead of BZ (Bolzano-Bozen), I'll buy you a Forst and a pizza. :)) Taalo 09:55, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Fruko y sus Tesos

message: I've been watching this page trying to fix many inconsistencies, and one of them is putting "Barranquillero Arrebatao" as one of Fruko's well-known hits. While it's true that he recorded this song, his version is a cover released trying to capitalize on the HUGE success that SARABANDA (a half Colombian, half New Yorker salsa band led by José Mangual Jr. and Isidro Infante, which included Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros as lead trumpet player) had in 1987 as the original performers of this song. This is the original (and well-known) version: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f38tfh_VsmE (band members are listed in the video description)
And this is the LP in which it was released:
http://www.discogs.com/Sarabanda-Sarabanda/release/4979102
It's possible that Fruko's version had some airplay, but if he counts this song as one of his hits, it's not because of his own merits but Sarabanda's. "Barranquillero Arrebatao" should be listed as the #1 hit for Sarabanda, but definitely not as a Fruko song, no matter how much airplay his version had. Fruko has LOTS of ORIGINAL tunes / arrangements that can be added to the "well-known songs" list, and "Barranquillero Arrebatao" is NOT one of them. That's why I'm removing it for the second time (please, don't add it again. Thank you).Alvabass (talk) 19:44, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

That's technically correct when interpreting "until 2023" as for the candidates who will resume/take office in 2023, this is their constituency map.
