Talk:William Byrd I

message: I read on a genealogical site that the Birds were goldsmiths of Sephardic Jewish ancestry. Any truth in this or is this just another example of people searching to discover a genetic line back to Jesus in the wake of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:29, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jewish ancestry? 

message: I've done some tweaking. From what I can see, his wife's name was Mary and this is listed on her tombstone. It's also listed in several RS as Mary. I can't really find anything that uses "Maria" other than Find-A-Grave, which isn't usable as a reliable source because it's edited by random people. I think that they might be thinking of Maria Horsmanden Byrd, the daughter of William Byrd III. If anyone can show that this was a nickname used by the family it can be re-added, but we'd need a really reliable source that predates this Wikipedia article. The Library of Virginia doesn't have the nickname in the article about William Byrd I and they're usually fairly good about including that in articles even if the article isn't about that specific person.

Talk:Allan Alcorn

message: qt: "In addition to direct involvement with all the breakout Atari products, such as the Atari 2600, Alcorn was involved at some of the historic meetings of Steve Wozniak (at that time an Atari employee) and Steve Jobs presenting their Apple I prototype."
Q: Was Steve Wozniak ever an Atari employee? (Cohen mentions that Steve Jobs was, but doesn't mention that Wozniak was.)
::A: I believe that Wozniak was never an employee of Atari, though Jobs was. Johnlogic 12:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's correct, though you missquoted the statement - the article has the (at that time an Atari employee) after Jobs, not Wozniak.  When they came up with the Apple I, after offering it to HP because Woz worked there and had to, they offered it to various others as well including Atari.  Atari at that time decided not to take them up on it but did forward them to some investors including Don Valentine and Mike Markkula.  I think the confusion comes from Woz hanging around with Jobs at Atari all the time, and doing the prototype work for Breakout. --Marty Goldberg 15:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no confusion.  The company's working name was Syzygy until they went to incorporate it, couldn't use it for well known reasons and renamed it Atari.  Al was hired and started working on PONG before the name change.  So both statements are logically correct, one just using a different context (viewing Syzygy and Atari as one in the same, which would be accurate).  On an interesting side note, when I talked to Ted, he mentioned Syzygy was being used since about '69 when they were designing Computer Space and shopping it around.  --Marty Goldberg 15:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mark Krikorian

message: While the facts of the following statement may be true:
According to the Social Contract Press, a Southern Poverty Law Center designated hate group, Mark Krikorian moderated a debate in which he asked in the beginning of it, "[S]ince Jews can engage in ‘identity politics’ to advance Jewish interests can’t white, Christian Americans also engage in ‘identity politics’ to advance their group interests?" [3]
Why does it matter that the source is a "Southern Poverty Law Center designated hate group"?  We would not say that, "According to the New York Times, a Fox News designated liberal media, the sun rose this morning."
If anything, the fact that the cited source is a hate group discredits the source and therefore the fact should be cited from a reputable source.  Further, not everyone accepts the right of the SPLC to designate hate groups.  Third, the quote simply seems to be a bit of rhetoric, very much inflamed by the introduction of the sentence.  
Really the last three paragraphs seem to be almost random "facts" meant to characterize Krikorian as a racist. 
I put "facts" in quotes because, for instance, "invading" is in quotes in the second to last paragraph, but the word never actually appears in the article cited (although "invasion" does appear in the title, but not the article, followed by a question mark)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.42.23.2 (talk) 06:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tri-Cities, Tennessee

message: This  page should  more accurately redirect to Northeast Tennessee.4.88.58.36 13:48, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Tri-Cities, Tennessee-Virginia
I don't think it matters much, but your undiscussed move of  Tri-Cities, Tennessee-Virginia to Tri-Cities, Tennessee isn't really correct. Bristol is half in Tennessee and half in Virginia - the tri cities definitely includes the Virginia side. I speak as a former resident of the area. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 20:18, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , it was not an undiscussed move. It was a reversion of an undiscussed move. It was also in keeping with how metropolitan areas are generally covered, when the suburbs encroach on other states. For instance, New York metropolitan area. Perhaps an actual discussion is in order. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:25, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I missed the reversion. The difference is that it's not the suburbs or adjoining community that crosses the state line, it's an incorporated city in a different state that constitutes half of one of the "three cities" - the state lines runs right down main street. I can't find an exact wikpedia parallel - Kansas City metropolitan area is also a split city but the article covers just the one city, not multiple cities. There are too many "tri-cities" areas to name it without a state, so we can't take that route.  - DavidWBrooks (talk) 21:07, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

text: I have removed an outdated web link, which is now for sale, and although I was in a hurry and could not format them well, added two references to the current promotional site by the five municipalities involved , and a website that mentions their campaign won a regional award for marketing. I also tried editing the page to make it clear that the NRV "brand" is not the same as the actual geological River Valley .. local TV weather and traffic announcers seem to use the phrase to mean just those communities, not the more southern counties in the actual river valley, which I have mentioned without any specific citation. I suspect the original version of this page was part of the promotional campaign .. for instance, it had no reference to the Radford Arsenal, which is not exactly a tourist destination, but is a prominent feature of the river valley with its own Isthmus into the river and intermittent controversies about air or water pollution. I mentioned the Arsenal with a link to its own Wikipedia page Bstepno (talk) 20:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

message: The source location is listed as Front Royal, where the North and South forks converge, but the source elevation is listed as 305 meters, which is much higher than Front Royal (where the forks converge the elevation is 140 meters).

Talk:Peaks of Otter

message: This article uses the elevations from the signposts along the Blue Ridge Parkway.  While this is understandable, the signs are based on very old surveys from the time that the parkway was built.  Just about all of the elevations are off by a few feet (sometimes more) compared to the latest USGS topo maps.  Sadly, the Peaks of Otter lose a few feet on the most recent USGS quad (PEAKS OF OTTER, 1991).  Flat Top is 3994 ft, Sharp Top is 3862ft, and Harkening Hill is 3372ft.   The USGS topos use the NGVD 29 vertical datum, so for consistency this datum that should be used for US elevations on Wikipedia.  There are newer vertical datums (NAVD 88 specifically), but since the topo maps don't use that yet, it is best to ignore that for now. 128.173.49.45 20:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This section is inappropriate for an encyclopedic entry unless sourced. A non-specific reference to a newspaper is not sufficient...
Passage follows...
"According to the Virginian-Pilot, many South Norfolk residents believe their community's growth was stunted 42 years ago when it merged with Norfolk County to create the City of Chesapeake.
They say the move siphoned tax dollars from their community and rerouted them to other parts of the fledgling city. Greenbrier and Great Bridge, which were just being developed, received much of the focus. But that is changing."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.161.1 (talk) 15:41, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
