Talk:Herrin, Illinois

message: Donald Attig, of Pontiac, Illinois, lived in Herrin in the early seventies. It was in Herrin that he fabricated moulds to produce a housing system which he had invented and developed in upstate Pontiac. The prototype, which was a breakthrough in manufactured housing, became a permanent exhibit on the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds, located in Du Quoin. Many famous people stayed in the house, including Bob Hope. Now in his seventies, Attig established numerous records in both the Endurance Challenge and Adventure Challenge categories in the years 2007, 2008, 2009. Information about these can be found at www.donattig.wordpress.com  Additional information can be accessed by clicking on his name above, which will activate an internal Winkipedia link. Three of his children, William Joseph, John Paul, and Caleb Thomas currently live in Southern Illinois. John Paul was born aboard a 3 mast sailing ship and may be the only current resident of Southern Illinois to have been born on a sailing ship.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.135.194.134 (talk) 04:26, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Former resident establishes benchmark records

message: The user who edited the page before me with the IP Address of 63.153.20.255 added some uncited information about a supposed local family named the "Stotlars" who purportedly helped to establish the town of Herrin. This user obviously had little to no experience in editing Wikipedia articles and more or less vandalized the article with his/her addition. Rather than adding the information about the Stotlars to the proper section with proper citations, this user simply clicked the first edit button he/she came across, plopped their information in a blank space near the top of the top section's edit page, clicked "save" and went on about his/her merry way, not at all bothered by the damage he or she had done to this page's structural integrity. It is my opinion that this user needs to be banned from further editing of this page if possible. Mwhit42 (talk) 20:20, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

message: The radium in Ottawa's water did not come from Luminous Processes and Radium Dial. The pdf file given as a so-called reference for that scarcely mentions radium, scarcely mentions Ottawa, and doesn't mention the two together. Ottawa's water comes from wells more than 800 feet deep. There is no contamination from anything on the surface.

Talk:Rochelle, Illinois

message: The fine editor, User:Drmies, has just done some edits to this article, all but one of which I endorse.  However, his last edit was a (very understandable) mistake.  He removed an image he termed "trivial"; in fact, it's anything but. 
When I added that photo more than four years ago, I did so after conducting a long search for an appropriate image.  The word "hub" does not immediately bring up the same image in everyone's minds, and in fact, few people would think of this image when they first hear the word "hub".  But this is what Rochelle denizens mean by the term, and this is the same image used by the sports teams on their banners.  A reader could very well be confused by the use of the term Hub City, even after reading the article, but upon seeing the image with the text, the meaning becomes much clearer.  So I'm respectfully reverting and putting the image back. HuskyHuskie (talk) 05:04, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Arun Sarin

message: Hi there,
I'd like to propose a couple of changes to this article for the sake of accuracy. To be transparent, I'm a Vodafone employee.
The first change I propose relates to the sentence "He writes an infrequent note to all Vodafone staff". Arun sends this out every month, so I guess this should be reflected in the text.
The second proposed change is an update of Vodafone Essar's market position from 4 to 3. As of August 2007, Vodafone was the third largest operator in India by customer numbers, according to the latest figures from the COAI (Cellular Operators Association of India) which represents GSM operators and the AUSPI (Association of Unified Telecom Service providers of India) which represents CDMA operators. These industry figures put Bharti on 46.8m customers, Reliance on 34.5m (GSM and CDMA customers), VOD Essar on 34.1m, and BSNL on 29.7m. September CDMA customer subscription numbers are not yet available.
Hope to put these changes in over the weekend in the spirit of improving the article.

Talk:Mustafa Al-Habib

message: This page isn't a candidate for speedy deletion. Space Moose is certainly a notable cartoon. I guess the real question is...the Space Moose article was recently edited to remove the Space Moose creator's real name and replace it with his official pen name ("Mustafa Al-Habib").  I understand that the author wishes to distance himself from the cartoon because of his current professional situation, but on the other hand, the author's name is well-known. 
It probably makes more sense to redirect this page to Space Moose, which I'll do now. OhNoitsJamieTalk 02:42, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Half Moon Hotel

message: The hotel was the tallest in Coney Island. 
Small illustration - link: http://www.art.com/asp/sp-asp/_/pd--10393844/sp--A/Crowded_Beach_Half_Moon_Hotel_Coney_Island_New_York_City.htm
This, from the New York Times, September 1, 1991, gives some perspective on the Half Moon Hotel:
"The Half Moon was built in the 1920's to help Coney Island compete with Atlantic City, but it is remembered today as the site of Abe (Kid Twist) Reles's mysterious fatal six-story fall, despite a police guard, on the eve of his scheduled testimony in 1941 against Murder Inc."
Reles's death signified the reach that organized crime had into the police department - he was guarded by six police dectectives. There was little doubt that Reles was defenestrated. Link to photo - http://www.nyu.edu/greyart/exhibits/police/html/abe.html

Talk:Gopal Krishna Gokhale

message: I am currently reading "My Experiments With Truth" and Gandhi's description of events in South Africa in this source seem to conflict with this article. The section I'd like to call into question is "Gandhi returned from his struggles against the Empire in South Africa" and in particular the reference to Gandhi's struggle against the Empire. Regularly through his auto-biography he says that he was a loyal British subject while in South Africa and while I have not yet read his history of Satyagraha I don't think his opinion changed until he returned to India and spent a significant amount of time there. He makes a distinction between the local, autonomous government of South Africa and the common Monarch a few times and identifies the struggle for freedom from indentured labour as a struggle against the former and not the latter.--Senor Freebie (talk) 01:52, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sergio Badilla Castillo

message: I came across this article while researching contemporary Chilean authors.  Even though this article is clearly written by Castillo himself, I found it interesting enough to check out some of his work on Amazon.com -- surprisingly, none of the book titles listed in this article are carried by Amazon.com.  In fact, a search for 'Sergio Badilla,' 'Sergio Castillo,' and 'Sergio Badilla Castillo' comes up with nothing.  Nor does this article's author deign to provide us with ISBNs for his book titles.
All this leads me to suspect something is up.  I have to wonder whether this is a real person, and if he is, then perhaps he is using wikipedia for shameless self-promotion?  Are his books even published?
