Talk:Jim Tavaré

message: I don't think the following warrants inclusion, but I didn't want to remove it entirely:
:Arguably the most notorious heckle known in British comedy circles was aimed at Tavare when he walked on to the stage and said: "Hello, I'm Jim Tavare and I'm a schizophrenic." Before he could say any more, a member of the audience shouted: "Fuck off then - both of you."

Talk:Stuart Lubbock inquest

message: I believe that this short page on Stuart Lubbock clearly identifies how his death was important to the career ending of once popular TV star Michael Barrymore. His story was in many tabloids in the UK after being found unconscious in a swimming pool and became well known across the UK. As the blank page was previously linked to from the page of Michael Barrymore, people should be able to find out about who Lubbock was and the controversy surrounding his death.. In my opinion, there would be no good reason to delete the page.
:I agree; the article is sufficiently encyclopaedic, and is relevant to a prominent television personality. However, the page is also rather euphemistic and skirts around the details of the incident a little too much; in particular, "the British tabloids took a strong view regarding what happened" is pretty meaningless and assume prior knowledge. Whilst of course there is limited accurate knowlege of the events which occurred that evening, and it is necessary to avoid potential libels, I think it would probably be beneficial to provide information on the reported injuries and cause of death Lubbock sustained, and possible causes thereof.

replies: text: I agree, but the article needs some attention, including content, grammar and spelling. --Dumbo1 01:16, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

message: According to , the police "said the criminal investigation had been suspended, as the cause of death had been "unascertainable" and there was no witness evidence." But this article says, "Detective Chief Superintendent Ian McNeil said: " As the cause of death had been "unascertainable" and there was no witness evidence, he had decided to suspend the criminal investigation." The quote marks before "Detective" and after "investigation" are mine; the other three are in the article text, so the quote mark before "As" is unbalanced. Is it a direct quote that the reporter included verbatim in the paraphrase? If so, it needs a closing quote mark. If not, then did McNeil really say anything like that?

For the time being, I have only fleshed out the second half of the plot summary because a) I just reread the book and have it clearly in mind for once; and b) I think it's important to make it clear that the novel isn't just a head trip of random scenes, but that as wild and wooly as it gets, the story line can still be followed and the plot is essentially resolved at the end.  66.241.73.241 08:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know if there is actually any connection between Bulero's character and the old Irish march of Lillibullero? It's the first time that I read about such a connection, I never read of it anywhere (I'm talking about Dick's critics and their work), it would be very interesting to know a little more about it. Dick's novels are full of such references to things, situations, people from the "real world" (some of these references are very subtle and interesting), it would be great if anyone could explain me some more about this specific link (Leo Bulero - Lillibullero).

Talk:List of rivers of Alaska

message: I just found this page after making a stub for the Unuk River. I noticed that the length given here for the Unuk River is 28 miles. As the page says, this comes from the USGS GNIS. However, I'm pretty certain that the 28 mile length is only that part of the Unuk River in Alaska. The rest of it is in British Columbia. Another source (Alaska Fish and Game Dept) gives the river's length as about 80 miles and even says the last 28 miles are in Alaska. This is something I've noticed about the USGS GNIS river length stats before -- they don't seem to measure beyond the US border. Since a great many Alaskan rivers cross the US-Canada boundary, the length info on this page might be questionable in many cases. Just thought I'd mention it, and correct me if I'm wrong.

thread_title: Length not always correct

message: I created a stub on Snow River, and have added it to this list. However, I am somewhat unfamiliar with the USGS information and how to interpret it. I'm fairly certain that the river begins in the Chugach Mountains and flows into Kenai Lake, but, having actually been there, I could swear I remember it flowing out of Kenai Lake. Memory is of course a very subjective thing, and I'm certainly willing to consider the possibility that I am wrong, but it would be great if someone with more experience in these matters could fact-check the article and make sure I've got it right.

Talk:Alatna River

message: The tag relates to a dispute over the length of the river quoted in the article.  I believe we should simply take out the lengths as quoted.  In my own search, I found that the National Parks Service described the river as 83.6 miles long  but the Columbia Gazetteer descibes the river as 200 miles long , Riverfacts.com lists the river as 260 miles long , the Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th edition, agrees with the NPS figure .  I found a book that talks about the "first hundred miles" of the Alanta river.  So ultimately, there's something fishy going on here and I don't think we should be reporting a length unless someone can find a source that explains what's going on.  Length of rivers has got to be a difficult thing to measure: some of these may be "air distance" lengths that ignore the meandering of the river.  Also, I saw a reference to the "lower Alatna river"; perhaps some of these measure one part of a river without being specific about which part.  I note further that the lengths described in the article here are between specific locations on the river; those descriptions are not backed up by any of the sources i found.

message: The article gives basic data on the name of the river and extensive information on the environment, but next to nothing on the history. The Kobuk has been studied quite extensively (as North Alaskan rivers go) by archaeologists, particularly J. L. Giddings, and features numerous important archaeological sites including Onion Portage. Nor is any mention made of the Kobuk Gold Rush (1900), which was rather unique because it was actually a sham set up by equipment dealers in Seattle and Vancouver. If somebody has the time and inclination to add these, relevant literature would include Giddings' "The Arctic Woodland Culture of the Kobuk  River" (Museum Monographs 8, 1952) and "Ancient Men of the Arctic" (1967), as well as "Alaska Geographic Vol. 8 (3) The Kotzebue Basin" (1981).--Death Bredon (talk) 08:53, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
