Talk:1978 Tour de France

message: What was the rule in 1978 to be in the young rider classification? My sources say that it was for cyclists younger than 26 at 1 January. Except for 1983-1986, when it was for first-timers. Hinault was younger than Lubberding, and it was his first time in the Tour de France, so according to both rules, he should have won the white jersey. Why didn't he? (I am curious to know, but the information is also valuable to the white jersey article.) --EdgeNavidad (talk) 10:38, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Answer: In 1978, a cyclist should be not older than 23 years, or be in his first or second professional year. Lubberding was in his second year, and Hinault already in his third year. (Dutch source).--EdgeNavidad (talk) 14:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:1981 Tour de France

message: In the table on the main page there are other stage-distanges then in the stage details (Main articles: 1981 Tour de France, Prologue to Stage 11 and 1981 Tour de France, Stage 12a to Stage 22).
prologue 6km versus 5.85km, stage 3 232km versus 232.5km, stage 4 77km versus 77,2km, stage 5 117km versus 117.5km, stage 6 27km versus 26.7km, stage 8 182km versus 180km, stage 9 197km versus 194km, stage 10 264km versus 258.5km, stage 12a 107km versus 107.3km, stage 12b 138km versus 133.8km, stage 14 38km versus 38.5km, stage 19 118km versus 117.5km, stage 20 46km versus 46.5km and stage 22 187km versus 186km. Most can be round-up's but there are also greater differences. I kan change the vallues but i need to know which are coorect or why there are differences.
I also found this differences in 1980 (in 21of25 stages), 1982 (in 17of23 stages) and in 1983 (in 17of23 stages). Before 1980 the distances are the same in the main page and de detail pages.

Talk:1985 Tour de France

message: hi! I saw this just passed GA, but I read it and saw some things I think could be improved: the lead still looks quite short compared to the article length, and would be even shorter if the infobox weren't so wide, so I feel it might need another paragraph. Also, the bullet point about Le Mond's shirt below the final standings table seems out of place. Could it be expanded to give some context? I also think it would serve better as an explanatory footnote within the table. Best, Kingsif (talk) 03:07, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey! I was also rather surprised at the quick pass... I will turn towards the lead and expand it before I enter the article for FA.

message: There are two conflicting statements here;
"Changes from the 1990 Tour de France
The leaders of the team classification had for a long time worn yellow caps, but this was abandoned after the 1990 Tour."
"Results
For the team classification, the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added; the leading team was the team with the lowest total time. The riders in the team that lead this classification wore yellow caps."
Which is correct? I've looked through the Tour articles from 1991 onwards and find that the second statement appears in all the articles up to and including 2002. When were the yellow caps actually abandoned? --Bcp67 (talk) 10:09, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Taylor–Burton Diamond

message: The Channel 4 documentary Elizabeth Taylor: Auction of a Lifetime, has an interview with the man from Sotheby's who took the diamond to Switzerland to show Taylor and Burton prior to the auction. He tells how it was Taylor's lawyer who bid on her behalf, and that she rang him immediately afterwards to ask how much she had won it for. On being told that she had not, she said that she and Burton had to buy it. The article is incorrect to suggest Burton bought it for her. She was going to buy it for herself at the auction; and bought it with Burton from Cartier after the auction.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.7.177.210 (talk) 21:22, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Tavernier Blue

message: The theory that the hope diamond was cut from the French blue was not "proven". The evidence from the recently found lead casting does not definitively prove anything, only that the hope could have been cut from the French blue based  on dimensions. The incredible rarity of diamonds in the size,color, and clarity lends weight to this theory but falls short of scientific proof.  Épargnez le visage (talk) 15:43, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scientific proven hope came from French blue 

message: The cut form of this gem had a distinct look, it came with a star shaped ‘window’ that, rather than internally reflecting light, let light through it, de-emphasizing the blue hue of the diamond, but only for the window itself.  The stone was then set with a gold backing, which provided for a gold shaped start on a blue background, not unlike what is portrayed here: http://mineralsciences.si.edu/collections/hope/timeline.htm#!1669 you may need to verify this, but I do believe that held symbolic significance with the king...  75.166.187.103 (talk) 08:15, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Here is a block of text from the Resources for Feminist Research review:
* "At a press conference for foreign reporters after Khomeini's funeral, Brooks takes President Rafsanjani's question to her as to why was she was wearing a heavy veil ("when a simple scarf would do") as a sign of the Islamists' surprising moderation (pp. 17 - 18). Again, she finds, delightedly, that the happiest couple she got to know was the most strictly observant of Muslim traditions (p. 61). Brooks also quotes the statements of Khomeini's daughter at lunch in the Iranian Embassy in London, and the opinions of devout women assigned to accompany her on her trips to Qum and elsewhere in Iran, as if they express views representative of all "women of Islam" (pp. 25 - 30)."
This is the information that supports the view that the author is taking unqualified opinions to show a general view of Islam.

replies: text:  : Overpreciision only applies to article titles, not redirects. If the criteria for a redirect was 'could be the title of the article', we'd have to go around deleting thousands of redirects. Additionally, one article being older than another doesn't matter-- we have lots of vast content gaps, poetry being one of them, and on the flip side we delete hundreds of articles from 5+ years ago. When I search for 'No Crystal Stair', the first result is the poetry foundation's listing of "Mother to Son". It's further clear that the phrase "No Crystal Stair" has been used numerous times outside of just this book as a metaphor (, ), but they all originate with Langston Hughes's poem, and there's a wealth of scholarship that uses the metaphor of a crystal stair to reference the poem rather than this book(, ,,,,). Yes there is two whole journal article about this book, but I don't see it outweighing all other scholarship. When somebody says "No crystal stair", they are far more likely to be referencing Langston Hughes's poem than this book. In fact, this book's title itself is a reference to the poem.

replies: text: Parenthetical qualifiers are necessary when there are two or more articles that would otherwise have identical titles. There are other cases where an artificial title is desirable because one article is the primary topic for more than one possible title, but they are rare. In this case, there is definitely no title conflict, and, in my opinion, no evidence that most people searching for "No Crystal Stair" on WP are looking for the poem. This article averages only 5 views per day, which is not more than some similar novels. The fact that Mother to Son is a new article is important only because it has not yet had a chance to demonstrate significant interest through pageviews. If, in a couple of months, the new article gets a relatively large number of pageviews, this will be worth reconsidering, but all evidence so far suggests there will probably not be that level of interest, despite the quality and value of the article.
