message: I can find no source for this middle name of Tupper. Surely he didn't share the middle name of John Turner? Canada Jack 20:40, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither the Dictionary of Canadian Biography or the parliamentary website mention anything about Charles Tupper having a middle name. Unless someone can cite a source that lists his middle name as "Napier," I have omitted it. I believe someone has conflated John Turner's middle name with Tupper - as Turner's middle name is, in fact, Napier. Canada Jack 16:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't recall reading anything about Crookshanks being anything other than an average everyday cat. What is the authors source? For that matter, I don't recall seeing anything about "Kneazles" in the HP series anyway.
I believe it was mentioned on JKR's author page and also in "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them."-Marira 17:01, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes.  In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, I do not recall it actually saying that Crookshanks is a Kneazle, but on JKR's website, she states that Crookshanks is a cross between a cat and a Kneazle, and also states that Arabella Figg breeds the two species together.
JKR stated on her website that Crookshanks is 'more than just a cat' and that the answer lies within Fantastic Beasts. Later she outright stated Crookshanks is a Kneazle/cat mix. Wolfie the Marshmallow 16:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I deleted the claim that no other point has this much rise over 11.5km, since according to my info, Annapurna rises 5800m in 11.25km. (I don't think any other peak besides these two is a good contender for the 5800m rise title, but I'd have to check my info more thoroughly.) If someone can find a reliable source supporting an undisputed victory for Rakaposhi (and hence contradicting my Annapurna claim), feel free to reinstate. -- Spireguy (talk) 03:26, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The claim, to my best knowledge, was actually correct. Annapurna I does not rise 5800 m unobscured above any place whatsoever within a radius of 11.25 km. The peak you're probably referring to is a minor subpeak of the Annapurna massif, called Baraha Shikhar (more info @Annapurna) which, as a matter of fact, beside Dhaulagiri W face, is a relevant competitor to the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat which is most often referred to as the tallest wall in the world. There is no peak though, except for Rakaposhi, that rises nearly 6000 m uninterrupted in such a steep manner. This is the truly world's highest mountain in a colloquial sense, i.e. looked at from the valley flor or simply measured from its base and it well surpasses Everest in this regard (over twice the height of Everest N face).--46.171.197.14 (talk) 20:58, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Sociable number

message: I am reinstating the example, as a mathematical calculation is not subject to copyright.  Okay, I was imprecise with the attribution for the example, giving the impression that it was taken from copyright source.  This is the situation as far as I see it:
* The knowledge that 1264460, 1547860, 1727636, 1305184 are sociable goes back to a H. Cohen, On amicable and sociable numbers, Math. Comp. 24 (1970), pp. 423-429.
* I used Mathworld as a secondary source for this fact, as it was convenient.
* It is a mathematical result.  Not copyrightable in itself.  (Copyright can apply to expressions of an idea - patents can apply to an algorithm)
* The working I presented was mine, based on this mathematical result.  Mathworld (whose copyright I believe I am respecting) does not present this working.
* There are plenty of other sources for this result.  For example, http://xraysgi.ims.uconn.edu:8080/amicable.html has a list of known sociable numbers http://xraysgi.ims.uconn.edu:8080/sociable.txt

Talk:Swing (dance)

message: This statement:"The best known of these dances is the Lindy Hop," although supportable through references, still gives an inaccurate impression. Due to the relative difficulty of Lindy Hop to East Coast Swing it will never be the most commonly done swing dance and therefore calling it the best known is misleading. Surely the best known dance is the one that the most people know how to do rather than the one that most people have heard of?Slipandslide (talk) 19:14, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The category of Latin dances in the international dancesport competitions consists of the cha-cha-cha, rumba, samba, paso doble, and also the jive of United States origin.[1][2]
Social Latin dances (Street Latin) include salsa, mambo, merengue, rumba, bachata, bomba and plena. There are many dances which were popular in the first part of the 20th century, but which are now of only historical interest. The Cuban danzón is a good example.[3]
Perreo is a Puerto Rican dance associated with reggaeton music with Jamaican and Caribbean influences. Argentinian folk dances are chacarera, escondido and zamba, also tango used to be a popular dance until the mid-20th century. Cueca is Chilean folk dance. Uruguayan folk dances are pericón, polka, ranchera, etc, also candombe is a common street and parade dance in the cities. Typical Bolivian folk dances are the morenada, kullawada, caporales and the recently created tinku. In Colombia, one of the typical dances is the cumbia.[4][5] 119.93.207.12 (talk) 00:18, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Treaty of London

message: Isn't there a treaty of 1852, subsequent to the one of 1832?  Philip Trueman 17:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 1852?

message: This is a list article, not a disambiguation page. It could easily be titled List of treaties made in London. Or it could be a broad-concept article, about the history and reasons that London has so often been a place for the crafting and signing of treaties.
WP:DABCONCEPT says:
:If the primary meaning of a term proposed for disambiguation is a broad concept or type of thing that is capable of being described in an article, and a substantial portion of the links asserted to be ambiguous are instances or examples of that concept or type, then the page located at that title should be an article describing it, and not a disambiguation page. [emphasis mine]
It goes on to say,
:Where the primary topic of a term is a general topic that can be divided into subtopics, such as chronologically..., the unqualified title should contain an article about the general topic rather than a disambiguation page. [again, my emphasis]
The nuances of disambiguation pages baffle many editors; it's common to mistake a list of very similar items for a dab page. , I hope you will reconsider your revert. Thanks. — Gorthian (talk) 18:58, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The title Treaty of London is inherently ambiguous, it refers to many different things all known by the same name, and for convenience on Wikipedia given date disambiguators. Treaty of London can't be treated as a "broad concept or type of thing", because it isn't. Again, it's not a "general topic that can be divided into subtopics" as each Treaty of London is a discrete thing or subject, with no necessary relation to any of the others. DuncanHill (talk) 19:04, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  While there may be some entries that don't strictly conform  to disambiguation page standards, I agree with DuncanHill that this term is highly ambiguous and overall I think it is better to leave this as a disambiguation page to help ensure that mistaken links are marked in order to facilitate disambiguation. The nonconforming entries can be moved to see also if necessary. older ≠ wiser 00:18, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: All right. I obviously still confuse lists and dabs myself. Since this is a dab page, I'm off to self-revert a bunch of edits now. Thanks to all of you for helping out. — Gorthian (talk) 02:12, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Project planning

message: I have been in the construction scheduling business for 32 years, and have a best-selling book on the subject.  Over the years we have witnessed a shift of the central mass of scheduling application from construction to software.  For instance, PMI (Project Management Institute) was formed by the construction industry but today its demographic is 85% software.
There are marked differences in how planning and scheduling functions are performed in the two industries.  I have added text to clarify those differences at a 30,000-foot level.  I have taken the initiative to cite my own book, which spends several chapters on the difference between planning and scheduling in the construction industry.
If the changes I have made survive editorial scrutiny, then I would like to find time to add additional articles to build up the understanding of construction planning and scheduling.
I have also linked to my company's website, as ICS (International Center for Scheduling) is the world's largest construction scheduling enterprise.--ICSGlobal (talk) 12:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
