Talk:Grand Central, Birmingham

message: The Pallasades Shopping Centre has only been known as such since about 1986. The previous name was "Birmingham Shopping Centre". I am looking for a reference to cite for this, but the name was still on the electricity substation for some time afterwards.

thread_title:  Old name 

message: Birmingham City Council has bought the Pallasades today. I've updated as appropriate, but presumably this will be beneficial for the New Street Station redevelopment plans. DWaterson (talk) 13:53, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Sold

message: The Pallasades article should not have been moved and should not have been overwritten by this one. It should instead have been updated, to say that old centre had been replaced by this one. Can an admin make the necessary history fork, restoring the version of 23:44, 28 June 2014? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:25, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

message: The new hospital is being called Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and it will incorporate the newer parts of the existing Queen Elizabeth Hospital. I think therefore they should be covered by the same article. For the time being, before the new hospital is open this article should be Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham with a section about the new build. When the new hospital is open, the article should be moved to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham with a history section about the old hospital. I will do this merge shortly, if there are no objections. RupertMillard (Talk) 09:02, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just went ahead and did it. RupertMillard (Talk) 10:10, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging "Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham" and "Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham" 

message: I've updated the whole page now since the opening of the new hospital. I'm finding it very difficult to find any information about the history of the old hospital, can anyone add to this? Also, general information about the new hospital which for the time being is only in bullet point format. WillDow  (Talk) 10:57, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expand 

message: Is Founded the correct term for this, or indeed, many, hospitals? It is only a new building adjacent to the existing QE and run by the same trust (which does qualify for the term founded). Even if/when the old 1930's QE building closes this building will not suddenly become founded in 2010. Surely the correct term would be opened, as mirrors the complementary term closed on the infobox template.   Oosoom Talk  10:30, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Kosovo and Metohija

message: I am wondering whether this should redirect to article Kosovo.
Because, name of the Serbian southern province that is under UN administration is officialy Kosovo and Metohija, according to the Constitution of Serbia.
Kosovo and Metohija consists of two big plains: Kosovo plain (in northeast) and Metohija plain (in southwest), which is nicely explained in article about Metohija.
On the other hand, in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 word Metohija is never mentioned!

Talk:Warstone Lane Cemetery

message: "The foundation stone for the chapel (demolished 1954) was laid on 6 April 1847. The blue brick lodge gate (Hamilton & Medland 1948) " - should that latter date be 1848? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 22:22, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Date of Lodge 

message: User:Maproom and now User:Theroadislong have deleted external links to the websites of the Jewellery Quarter Research Trust and Friends of Key Hill Cemetery & Warstone Lane Cemetery on the grounds that they are "spam". This is nonsense. These are the sites of two reputable and not-for-profit community groups that carry out research into, and work for the responsible preservation of, these two cemeteries (and the local area more generally). Their websites aren't particularly sophisticated, but the JQRT site includes a number of valuable historic documents and plans of the cemeteries, and both sites will be of interest to many readers of the article. I appreciate that User:Grave-matters has recently been adding the Friends link (misformatted) to the pages of a number of individuals buried in the cemeteries, and I agree that is quite inappropriate; but the links do belong here. GrindtXX (talk) 16:48, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I have restored the links (before seeing this discussion) I am not involved with either group, but I do live in Birmingham and can confirm that both sites are from bona fide organisations. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:07, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Abstract type

message: The current page could be renamed abstract class, as it is very object oriented programming focused. My suspicion is that for functional programming, such as those for which the statement "Abstract types are also known as existential types.[1]" applies, there is quite some commonality between abstract type and abstract data type.

thread_title:  Moved Java sentence here - please rephrase 

message: Is this definition "contains no members which are also not members of some declared subtype" saying what it means to say? I would have thought that an abstract class was one which could have no instances, but can have subclasses that have instances. If that is what the definition is supposed to say, it's very misleading to use the word "members", which means class data and operations. 82.152.250.105 (talk) 13:06, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: To be honest all of these are splits from City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and possibly CBSO Chorus and my strong opinion is that they should each be given a paragraph at the respective article and redirected there. CBSO Chorus is, at least, a senior choir with some chance of receiving significant coverage (though is currently unsourced, so I may be proved wrong). Sionk (talk) 20:37, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Holdridge life zones

message: Some questions, originally posted to Wikipedia Science Reference desk...
Here's some questions:
*Is the system based on two variables or three? The third variable (biotemperature) seems to be redundant to the other two, but then why is it defined in terms of the three variables? Historical reasons?
: I would say two: precipitation and PET. Humidity is a function of these. As for biotemp, like everything else outside the triangles it appears to be a rough correlate. --Belg4mit (talk) 20:49, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Some questions

message: The article states (and has done so since creation) that one axis is "potential evapotranspiration ratio (PET) to mean total annual precipitation." which seems rather nonsensical given that EV is not precipitation, and another axis is devoted specifically to the latter. --Belg4mit (talk) 20:49, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Jonathan Mann (physician)

message: Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:
*Appropriate infobox should be added 
*Photograph should be added from a source with a free license 
*Some copy editing needed for style and grammar
*Basic biographical information required, eg place of birth, education, career prior to joining WHO
*Lead should be expanded to survey other aspects of his life
*Article would benefit from further division into appropriate subheadings
*References should preferably be converted to inline format using the reflist template, to prevent the need for manual renumbering
*External links to useful online resources should be added if available

message: Hi, please note that I have merged Black and White in the Red, Elixir of Life CD and Wild Geese DVD into this article.
