Talk:Online file storage

message: This article should be merged with Online storage
: Since online storage was to all intents and purposes identical, except for lacking the table and just having a simple list of links to each service, I changed it into a redirect to this page. -- John Owens (talk) 12:12, 2005 August 12 (UTC)
: As far as merging with Remote backup, I think these articles are talking about two different things.  Online file storage appears to be talking about a service that allows you to access your files from anywhere, different from remote backup, which is a way to safely store your important files offsite.  Remote backup doesn't appear to be used for day-to-day file sharing between sites.  So I oppose the merge. —Cleared as filed. 03:19, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Jacob Orgen

message: According to Jay Robert Nash's Encyclopedia of World Crime, Orgen's birth date is given as 1894. The 1901 birthdate as seen on the tombstone, and presumably appearing on subsequent public records,  1919 was the date when Jacob Orgen's family disowned him considering 1919 the date of his "death" hence the 1901 date. While I believe 1894 to be the correct date I've noted both dates. This should offer an explanation for the "aged 25 years" statement. MadMax 20:00, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: While that is true, the same information is stated in The Gangs of New York by Herbert Asbury (which I would not have access to until late 2005) as well as in Carl Sifikis's The Mafia Encyclopedia and Encyclopedia of American Crime. MadMax 05:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The the Rockaway Book (Robert A. Rockaway: But He Was Good to His Mother: The Lives and Crimes of Jewish Gangsters, Gefen Publishing House 1993, ) says , that his father  -orthodox-jewish- declared his "early" death, because as Orgen started to be a Gangster-Boss; he was dead for his father; and so the father ignored the gangster-years and writing the false age on the tumbstone. Orgen was 33 Years old, when he was shoot down. This false thumbstone produced the false year of Birthday. --ChikagoDeCuba (talk) 09:45, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Jacob Orgen was born in 1901. When Orgen married Anna Rosenberg in Manhattan on September 12th 1925 he gave his age as 24 years. His marriage record is available online from the New York City Municipal Archives. A May 31st 1919 article in the Brooklyn Times Union mentions Orgen as one of the participants in a riot and jailbreak at the New York City House of Refuge, an institution for teenage offenders. This article is available online at newspapers.com. The United States census for 1920 shows Orgen as an inmate at the House of Refuge and gives his age as 19. This census record can be found online at ancestry.com. Thus all contemporary records show that the 1901 date on his tombstone is correct and that the many earlier dates (1892, 1893, 1894) given in secondary works are erroneous.

Talk:Wenceslaus

message: 1. "The name derives from the Slavic forename of Wenzel."  This is incorrect as the letter "W" does not exist in the Old Slavonic alphabet or in any Czech alphabet [see Guide to the Slavonic Langiuages by R.G. A. DeBray].  The statement should read "The name derives from the Slavonic name Václáv." - note: this name has been used both as a forename and a surname over the last 1000+ years. 
2. Wenceslaus (English form of the Czech name Václáv - other Czech verisons include: Věnceslav, and Većeslav.  German/English/Latin versions include: Wenceslaus, Wenceslas, Wenzel, Wencil, Wenzeslaus and Wenceslao.  Polish = Wacław)

"In May 2014 the media reported on a blood transfusion that contains a protein called GDF11 to possibly cure Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease."

Talk:Roger Gallaway

message: A poster named "djgallaw" has removed this paragraph from the article:
Gallaway's license to practice law was once suspended by the Ontario Law Society on charges of fraud. The controversy has not affected his political standing, and is seldom mentioned in the nation's political discourse. The specifics of this case do not appear to be in the public domain, making it difficult to determine if Gallaway was actually involved in unethical behaviour.
I've seen this controversy referenced in public a few times -- but, as you can probably tell, I wasn't able to find many details.  Does anyone know the full story?  CJCurrie 20:17, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Dictum

message: I have made major changes to this article, which was highly misleading. A classic mistake of a beginning law student is to use the term dictum/dicta for obiter dictum/dicta, which is simply incorrect. The article made this elementary mistake and was written as if they were the same thing, which error being compounded by a "contrast obiter dictator" statement, adding further confusion.
The term dictum on its own barely deserves an article, but its worth putting this here just to make sure. Please discuss any attempt to revert to what was before here first. Francis Davey 20:28, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Although I agree the new version is technically correct, the use of "dictum" as shorthand for "obiter dictum" is hardly confined to beginning law students, but also sees print in the pages of prestigious law journals. --Delirium 02:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, after having surveyed usage in recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, I'm not even convinced this is correct. The Supreme Court has been consistently using the word "dictum" or "dicta", alone, to mean what this page calls "obiter dictum". I am unable to find any examples of the Court using the phrase "obiter dictum" instead, or of it using "dictum" or "dicta" to refer to a part of the judgment that forms binding precedent. For just the most recent example, see Scalia's opinion for the Court in Puckett v. United States ("That statement, like the one in Brady, was dictum.") I don't dispute that some law dictionaries may define it otherwise, but it seems that such definitions are no longer in accord with common practice in the US. At the very least, the shorthand practice isn't "incorrect" or "a classic mistake of a beginning law student". --Delirium (talk) 08:14, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Victory title

message: A twentieth century example of a "victory title" is "Lawrence of Arabia"
*No, because that's just an informal geographical reference, he was given no actual title, and Arabia wasn't a political unit at all (a major part of his problem!), nor the precise site of a specific victorious battle. Fastifex 11:44, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I had always assumed this territorial designation referred to Anzac Cove rather than to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. I suppose there's no reason why it couldn't refer to the military unit though - there are plenty of baronetcies where the designation is "of the Navy" or "of the Army". Does anyone have a source as to which might have been intended? Opera hat (talk) 20:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Baron Birdwood of Anzac 

message: The 'Anzac' designation in Birdwood's title refers to the Anzac sector at Gallipoli, of which Anzac Cove itself is a small part. There were three operational sectors at Gallipoli as far as the allies were concerned: Anzac, Helles and Suvla. Common usage was, when referring to the army corps, to name it 'the A&NZAC' or 'the ANZAC.'  Grammar and usage were obviously much more respected then; nobody ever wrote, for example, 'ANZACs' to refer to the soldiers: they were universally referred to as 'Anzacs.' The holiday was 'Anzac Day.' The cove was 'Anzac Cove' and so on. There are literally tens of thousands of examples of this in original documents and contemporary sources. The fully-capitalised 'ANZAC,' always referred to the Army Corps only, unless, of course, it appeared at the beginning of sentence when it was common practice to fully-capitalise the first word or two, or in a heading, or in military writing, when all place-names were often fully-capitalised. There would have been no confusion as to the origin of 'Anzac' in Birdwood's title when it was granted because people had not yet begun to misuse the word Anzac by insisting it always be fully-capitalised.
