Talk:2000 Tour de France

message: I know a lot of people were angry over Armstrong's admission of doping, especially from outside of the United States, the idea being that had he not doped, it might have given their countries' representatives a chance for the gold.  That said, from a historical perspective, it makes not so much sense to list the winner of the Tour de France as "none" -- there is a precedent for vacated wins in which the name of the individual or team is listed and then (vacated) is placed alongside it.  To emphasize that the win has been vacated, I've also seen a strikethrough across the individual or team.  I'd like to propose this as a standard, as no such standard has seemingly been agreed upon.  Shiggity (talk) 23:49, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You seem to imply that the winner is listed as "none" because non-Americans think Armstrong stole their chance of seeing someone of their country win. I don't think that is the reason; I think the reason is that the relevant cycling authorities (UCI, ASO) said that these Tours would have no winner. I am not aware of the precedent you refer to, can you show an example of where that happened? Anyhow, this discussion could probably better be done at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cycling. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 12:34, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Amstel Gold Race

message: Does anybody know? Why is the English word "race" a part of a Dutch race name?Tushyk 20:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are many English words in the Dutch dictionary. Race is just an example of the many words that have been incorporated in the Dutch language.  82.157.156.158 07:08, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  That is correct. Race is a commonly used word in the Dutch language. The organization probably opted for this word because Amstel Gold is also English. Outematic 09:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

text: It's kind of a natural choice. The Dutch word for racing bike is either racefiets or renfiets (short for wielrennen+bicycle = wheelracing/running+bicycle). The name of Ronde van Nederland was already taken by a traditional stage race. The Amstel Beer Company was expanding abroad, when Herman Krott came with the idea of organising a new monument. Krott was the Amstel Bier amateur cycling team sports director, so him asking Amstel to sponsor the race was a logical step. The Dutch Bier in the team name shows the targeted local market. Sponsoring a cycling monument is all about international public relations. Not using Beer in the name, but instead using their premium brand Amstel Gold for the name was good marketing. It sounds much nicer, riders racing for gold. Emmarade (talk) 04:15, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Joe Jagersberger

message: This turned up at the commons' village pump :
:Hello,
:My name is Patricia Hartley.  I am the daughter of Rosemary and James Haas and the granddaughter of Joseph W. Jagersberger, who was born Feb. 14, 1884 in Wiener Neustadt, Austria.  He died rocking me to sleep October 5, 1952.  I was 6 months old.  He came to this country in 1902 (see Ellis Island documents) with letters of introduction from Mssr. Daimler of Daimler Motorwerks. (I am in possession of this documentation.) He became a chauffeur to John Jacob Astor about 1904, and from New York, found his way to Racine, WI, where he met my Grandmother, Amanda Olle, about 1911. They were married June 16, 1919 and my mother was born May 7, 1920. He  came to work in the fledgeling race car program for the J.I. Case Co.,  and was in the starting lineup of the 1911 Indidanapolis 500, the first year of the race on the brick track. The steering knuckle on his car broke and he had to bow out of the race after 87 laps, but he continued to race and in November 1911, in Columbia, SC, he hit the wall rather than hit a car full of tourists traveling from the infield across the track.  He was in the hospital for several months, and his left leg was amputated, thus ending his racing career.  
:He continued to design cylinder heads and peripheral equipment and he started his own company, RAJO Motors, about 1914.  According to my Grandmother, he counted amoung his friends, Ray Harroun, the Chevrolet brothers, and Eddie Rickenbacker, all of whom frequented our house on 14th St in Racine, into the small hours of the night.
:In June 2006, he was inducted into the Model T Ford CLub Speedster and Racer Hall of Fame, in San Jose, CA.
:In April, 2007, he will be inducted into the Chevy Sprints Association, along with many other people who have made contributions to the automotive industry in the last 50 years. 
:My mother, Rosemary, was his only child and she is gone now, but I am honored and proud to say I was Joe's granddaughter .  Once in a while, I run into people who not only know of my Grandpa, but still tell me how his innovations have made an impact on the best hobby in the world. CARS!
:I can be contacted at dnhartley AT gmail (address obfuscated -- G. Gearloose (?!)), and would welcome questions or comments from anyone who knew, or knows of Joe Jagersberger.
Perhaps this can be useful for the article in some way -- G. Gearloose (?!) 11:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:You Don't Know You're Born

message: There is an argument going on between myself, and another member of Wikipedia.
I say this programme and many others airs on a channel called ITV - he/she says it's ITV1.
The fact is, there is no such channel called ITV1. ITV1 is a brand name, used for ITV in England, Wales, Southern Scotland, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. The brand name for the channel is Central and the North of Scotland is STV, and in Northern Ireland, it's UTV.
All of these brands together, ITV1, STV and UTV are part of the ITV Network, which is usually just refered to as ITV. Using the ITV1 brand in these articles is selfish to those in most of Scotland and Northern Ireland, who don't see or hear the ITV1 name.

Talk:Dialogue in writing

message: The pronouncements of this section are apparently handed down on high from some presumptuous wiki editor, rather than any sort of unbiased scholarly information. (Please refer to WP:NPOV.) 
Written text does not have the ability to directly express emotion. Much information can be conveyed through tone of voice and body language, while writing down only the text of what is spoken cannot convey everything.
While a writer can verbosely write out a long string of words to approximate the emotions of the moment, as this article says about "As you know Bob" people don't talk this way:
: Many writers use said-bookisms as substitutes for dramatic speech. Putting the feeling into the words make the said-bookism unnecessary
: "Come with me," he begged. "They'll kill you."
: could be altered by putting his begging into his dialogue
: "I can't bear it, you have to come with me," he said. "If they kill you, it will be all my fault."
A normal person is much more likely to communicate using the first format, conveying meaning through just a few words and expressing the rest as unwritable emotions.
This article should be rewritten to indicate that this writing style is an opinion of certain authors and that there are other views regarding writing style which are potentially as valid as this one.

Imperial Gallic is the type worn by Gauls, not Romans?

thread_title: Classification

message: I don't think that the reference below to "Roman Helmetting" is proper:
"The Roman combat experience of the Dacian wars produced further developments in helmet design, particularly the two iron bars riveted crosswise across the helmet scull (alternatively, two thick bronze strips might be riveted to the top of a bronze legionary or auxiliary helmet) as protection against the falx. The Romans choose their helmet design to emulate the sack on forehead of the act of Roman helmetting someone (see Urban Dictionary). This started as a field modification, as seen on several Imperial Gallic helmets with the crossbars hastily riveted right over the decorative eyebrows (crossbars are seen on some, though not all, of the legionary helmets on Trajan's Column), but quickly became a standard feature, found on all helmets produced from ca. AD 125 through the latter third century AD."

Talk:Some Things

message: Hi everyone,
After doing some research about this album I noticed that there is a lot of conflicting information out there about when “Some Thing” was released. It appears to me that various different versions of the album have been released several times, so this is why it is so confusing as to when it was first released. 
The iTunes bio about Lasgo here (https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/lasgo/17769953) says that the album was first released locally in November 2001.
This discography website (https://www.discogs.com/master/view/61320) and Lasgo’s management team website (http://www.hitt.be/v2/#/artists) also says that the album was originally released in November 2001.
So I have made some changes to the article to correspond with this information, but if anyone doesn’t think this is correct I’m happy to talk about it.
