message: I can't believe how biased this article is! I saw this in recent changes, and saw where someone changed a part that said something like "Fortunately it failed" to "Unfortunately it failed." An unbiased encyclopedia project shouldn't be saying something happened "fortunately" OR "unfortunately;" it should just say something along the lines of "it failed," removing the biased words. Also, "cheap made in China" is far from being fair and balanced. This article needs a serious make over! PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 18:18, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Octagon House

message: I'm sorely tempted to place a copyvio template on this page since it is copied verbatim from http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/wash/dc22.htm.  However, is it a copyvio if the source does not carry a copyright notice?

thread_title: Hexagon, not Octagon

message: As of the date I'm posing this the article contains the text "President Madison ratified the Treaty of Ghent, ...". No. Wrong. The Senate RATIFIES a Treaty. The President SIGNS it.For instance, in the article on the Kennedy-era Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, we find that President Kennedy SIGNED the Treaty on 7 October 1963, while the Senate RATIFIED the Treaty on 24 September 1963. I am increasingly frustrated with this sort of content from Wikipedia. I think that if this kind of disregard of the fact that "signed" and "ratified" are two different words were to occur in someone's Master's Thesis or even a term-paper of an undergrad, it would be rejected. And yet we find people like this writing for Wikipedia all the time.2600:8804:8C40:31:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 19:11, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

The following railways have used the Fell system. Of these, the only one still in operation is the Snaefell Mountain Railway on the Isle of Man. The only surviving Fell locomotive, New Zealand Government Railways H class 199, is preserved at the Fell Engine Museum, Featherston, New Zealand, near the Rimutaka Incline.
I find this a bit confusing: surely a "Fell locomotive" is one using Fell's system. If the Snaefell railway is still operating with the Fell system, surely the NZ loco can't be the only one remaining? --Casper Gutman 10:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
