Talk:GER Class A55

message: could you please explain how "an" before "zero" is correct? This must be a British variation that I'm not familiar with. -- Fyrael (talk) 15:58, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There are two issues: one is that agreement is based on pronunciation, not spelling. Secondly, 0-10-0 is not pronounced as "zero-ten-zero" but as "oh-ten-oh".  "Zero" is very rarely used in spoken English, outside mathematics and radio transmissions. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:17, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Well that last statement is not at all accurate. In English, a written "0" is far more often pronounced "zero" than "oh". However, if in the context of locomotive designations it is nearly always pronounced "oh" then I'm fine with leaving that. You may want to put an editor comment mentioning it though, so that others don't try to correct it in the future. -- Fyrael (talk) 16:51, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Every source I have seen says that the design criteria for the A55 decapod were 300 tons to 30 mph in 30 seconds - so I think the performance section in this article as on 21/5/2020 is wrong - I tried correcting it and got it changed back - and at the time I corrected it the speed was quoted as 60 mph, which no one had bothered correcting previously Mrrash (talk) 13:46, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Then I got cocky and figured I would fix some of the countries which were sorted to include "the" because of the  parameter, see Czech, Netherlands, UK, US.  Which fixed my original cat alpha sort problem, but then completely redlinked [[:Category:Aviation in <nation>]] which needed the the to be there.

Talk:GER Class Y14

message: The stovepipe chimney was a universal feature of all GE Locomotives in the latter part of the 19th Century until the appearance of the 4-2-2 Singles in 1898. The dome position came from the two-ring boiler with the dome on the front ring which Holden introduced in the 90s. Before then he continued with Wordsell's 3-ring boiler with the dome on the middle ring. The advantage of the forward mounting was a short steam passage with reduced pressure drop.

I would suggest changing it to say something like the following: "The story begins with Ron Williamson, who has returned to his hometown after failed attempts at playing for various baseball teams, including the major league Oakland A's and the minor league Ft.

Talk:Entitlement theory

message: I'm removing this sentence because I don't think it's accurate: [Entitlement Theory involves] "Nozick's ideas of who is entitled to what, according to their class and needs, plus other factors". This doesn't make sense: Entitlement Theory specifically talks about people being entitled to things because they happened to start with them, according to the principle of justice in acquisition. Nozick talks about how it can be arbitrary who starts with what holdings, and while I agree that the societal class you are born into would have an effect on the holdings you start with, Entitlement Theory doesn't say anything to the effect that certain classes are entitled to things simply because they are that class, or anyone being entitled to holdings because of their needs. It's more like the opposite. Entitlement Theory says that people are entitled to what they start with and can justly acquire, regardless of whether anyone needs those holdings more. --Culix (talk) 17:25, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

This means that a reader of the article must be able to verify the content themselves, which in turn means they must be able to look at the sources themselves. This does not mean it has to be available online. Pretty much anything you can find in a library is accessible to the public and thus verifiable. But unpublished private diaries, and interviews are not verifiable content. Our readers can't call you up to verify the content, so if the content you wish to add is just in yours and others' memory, your private notes, unpublished diaries and the like, that can't be accessed to verify and is thus incompetent material as a source.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:24, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Bob Robertson

message: The main article currently states that "announcer Bob Prince called Robertson The Mount Savage Strongboy" and offers two references. I have doubts about this.
I listened to about 75% of the Pirates games on radio and TV from 1970 through '75. I don't recall *ever* hearing Prince use that nickname. Instead, what I recall hearing was "The Maryland Strongboy".
Both references are from the Cumberland Times-News. In fact, the first reference does *not* claim Prince used that nickname, but rather the similar "Mount Savage StrongMAN." Neither article itself offers any references. I suspect "Mount Savage Strongboy" was a nickname used locally (Cumberland is about 10 miles from Mount Savage). I certainly never heard Prince use it. 2601:98A:4100:1620:C0C8:C960:B445:3FE3 (talk) 18:38, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
