*How can someone be pro-cyclist, when he has completely different professional activities? He hasn't got a contract, unless maybe with his himself as a sponsor and maybe once a year takes part in a contest.

replies: text: Oliver, Edmonton →  – Since January 23, 2024, the name of this neighbourhood’s community league has been changed to wîhkwêntôwin (without a capital W). This article states that although the name of the neighbourhood proper has not yet been legally changed, it also mentions that the proposed name has been approved by Edmonton’s naming committee and is expected to be voted upon soon (February 7). Further, it states that the community league has been looking for a new name since 2020.
Given this, I see no reason why the city would not go forward with the renaming. As for the article itself, wîhkwêntôwin alone may be too confusing for someone unfamiliar with Edmonton; I believe wîhkwêntôwin, Edmonton would be a better name. GriffintheFolf (talk) 21:53, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:HMS Tally-Ho

message: Following uncited information added in a good faith by user GERRY01 caused a cite error. I have moved it here for discussion.
As soon as the atom bombs were dropped, Tally-Ho made a trip through the Solomons, making a series of stops at the villages on the islands. The crew went ashore several times on Malaita where they were entertained by the natives. There were several cases of malaria, including the captain. They finally arrived at Obama on the north coast of Japan half way between Tokyo and Hiroshima  along with other submarines and the depot ship Adamant.
Allowed shore leave, Bob Williams and his friends in the crew made their way to Hiroshima where they walked amongst the ruins and collected souvenirs.
Bob died at the age of 80, with no ill effects from radiation.
The source for this is his note book  S.O. Book 135 - Code 28-72. G.R. (Supplied for the PUBLIC SERVICE) detailing how he had to know how to operate every piece of equipment in the submarine in which he also describes his experiences.

I see the race on the Isle of Man has been described as becoming the Manx Trophy. Are you sure? I thought the one-lap race of the TT circuit became the Mannin Veg. Wasn't the two-lap race the Viking Trophy and the three-lap the International?

message: "Tickle" appears at the end of a quotation from Peter Bryan or Les Woodland, an error in the set expression "jot or tittle" (meaning "the smallest kind of details"). Did Woodland or Bryan themselves misspell it, or did the error happen afterwards? If this is quoting an audio interview between them, I suggest that fixing it without flagging it ought to be acceptable, but maybe that's not how the rules go.

thread_title:  What is a lexis ? Need examples 

message: Throughout the article there are multiple uses of the phrase 'this is no surprise' and derivatives, which is not unbiased and a neutral pov. These statements also have weird use (or lack of use) of punctuation. 
 ...words such as "no" and "to" are not surprisingly very frequent; a word such as "controversy" much less.
 In this example, "no stranger to" is a very frequent collocation; so are words such as "mysterious", "handsome", and "dark". This comes as no surprise. More interesting, however, is "no stranger to controversy". Perhaps the most interesting example, though, is the idiomatic "perfect stranger". Such a word combination could not be predicted on its own, as it does not mean "a stranger who is perfect" as we should expect.
In these examples, the grammar not particularly reader-friendly with the use of unneccassary subordinate clauses both with and without correct commas, plus repeated uses of "surprising" and "interesting" throughout this article which (at least to me) are fundamentally words denoting a non-neutral POV.
