Talk:Pallop Pinmanee

message: Krungthep Thurakit publised an interview with Pallop from a few years back which was saved at Thaitopic.com.  The interview was in Thai, and thus shouldn't be used in this article without an independent reliable translation.  But the interview might be useful for researchers.  Key points:
* His close friendship to his Class 7 classmates, especially Chamlong Srimuang and Manoonkrit
* He calls the 1976 coup (against Seni) easy.  The 10 October 1977 coup (with Chamlong and Manoon) required force.  The 1981 April Hawaii coup was unsuccessful but not violent because he gave up.
* He recounts how the saddest event of his career was firing heavy artillery against women and children communists at Phoo Hin Rong Kla. Patiwat 19:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Pat Fish

message: It would be a mistake to merge "Pat Fish" with the Jazz Butcher: (1) the latter was often used as the name of whole band, and (2) Pat Fish has performed and recorded in his own right with other bands, e.g., The Blue Aeroplanes, Sumosonic, and Wilson.
I've rewritten this page with the emphasis on everything Pat Fish has done outside the Jazz Butcher name.  This has involved sacrificing the characterisation of the early Butcher sound, and the discussion of the meaning of "Southern Mark Smith", which, I would argue, should be reinstated on the "Jazz Butcher" entry.  --Antisyzygy 11:02, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Pat MacDonald (musician)

message: "He formed the duo with his then daughter and later wife, Barbara K. MacDonald in Madison, Wisconsin in 1984 before moving to Austin, Texas that same year." How could Barbara be his "then daughter" when she is only some years younger? I could find no evidence of such an incest. Maybe "then girlfriend" was meant?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.36.101.12 (talk) 09:34, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Pat McCormick (television personality)

message: An opinion but one held by all I knew who watched Pat McCormick air his weather reports on-air. Pat used a light-hearted approach when giving his weather report. I have never seen any other weather broadcaster use a similar style. He was funny without using obvious humor such as jokes. It was mostly Pat's style, his word usage and mannerisms that conveyed the humor. I looked forward to seeing his broadcasts, they were enlightening AND entertaining. Pat was, to me, a true broadcast professional and KTVU was intelligent enough to allow him to use his own unique style. I miss Pat and his weather reports.Obbop 20:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Jock

message: I would like to contact Mr. Bremen because I saw him on T.V. (WDIV) some years ago and he was dressed as a Detroit Lion and the helmet he had belongs to me. I grew up in Bloomfield Hills across the street from Cranbrook where the Lions held their training camps for years in the early seventy's. I got to know three playeys intimately by asking if I could carry their helmet down from the dorm to the field and back. If they were nice you would get a glass of gator aid. I carried Bill Tripletts helmet (the one Barry has and the one Bill gave me when he retired.)Also Jim Teal and Charlie Weaver. These players became great friends of the family and spent alot of time at our residence. My name is Don Miles and I grew up at 671 Orchard Ridge Rd. across from where the tennis bubble used to be. If there is anyone that could pass along this message I would appreciate it. I don't know if it was sold by my mother in one of her many garage sales but the fact that he lives so nearby it would indicate that indeed it is Bills helmet. What else gives it away? The face mask, the ring that hangs down and the squareness of the helmet because they had an almost square look. Look inside and you should see the number 38 because that was Bills number. I would really like it back if only to give it back to Bill the rightful owner. My email is donmiles109@gmail.com. Please contact me if anybody can help.      signed, Don Miles  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.112.17.5 (talk) 05:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Angelo d'Arrigo

message: According to d'Arrigo's obituary in Telegraph, he attempted to fly over Everest with three eagles. Two died twelve hours after they were picked up, and the third died the day of the flight. Furthermore, the obituary claims there is no video or photographic evidence of his flight over the summit of Everest. It should be rephrased on his page, but I'm not sure how to word it.

Talk:Rocca Grimalda

message: I’ve had a very quick glance at this. The basic source (although at least in some places it expands upon it) is :it:Rocca Grimalda. There’s a copy of it on the user page of the first editor.
But I don’t think much, or any, knowledge of Italian would be needed to go through the article and turn it into good English. The author uses ‘plan’ when s/he means ‘plain’ (as in flatland)—but otherwise it seems pretty obvious what was meant. So basically it’s a straightforward copy-edit job. One certainly worth doing, too. Sorry but I don’t have time to do it myself at the moment. Ian Spackman 14:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I put that tag because it seemed to be a sloppy translation, but I didn't go through it carefully.  seems like it would be about cleaning up a translation, but you're right - it clearly doesn't require the ability in the source language.

Roberts article, it states that Roberts was refused to be seated in congress and was elected for the 56th Congress ("In 1898 Roberts was elected as a Democrat to the 56th Congress, but the House of Representatives refused to seat him because of his practice of polygamy.")  Did it take about 10 months before Roberts showed up to take his seat in the House?

Talk:Xm2go

message: this page should be merged with : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM2go

Agreed. That is FAR overdue, although the merge should not be in that direction, as the correct case specific spelling is "xm2go" which the official logo clearly states.
The two should be merged into a third with the correct title.--24.47.145.73 19:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Vanessa Rivas

message: 'Vanessa' does indeed mean butterfly – or at least those of one particular genus. The New SOED certainly cites the girl's name as the origin of the word in this sense, but the Chambers Dictionary does not mention this theory – saying simply, "Perhaps for Phanessa, from Greek Phanes, a mystic divinity".
(Why a Swede, writing in Latin, would use a recently coined English girl's name for a genus of Lepidoptera is perhaps a question for another day...) 
Whichever theory is true, there is no urban legend involved. An urban legend is an 'anecdote of modern life' (Chambers) – such as the kidney one – not an etymological assertion (whether mistaken or not). Grant 14:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Butterfly

message: That "theory" about a non-attested female form of Φάνης seems utterly spurious to me. The name Vanessa was coined in as bright a daylight of history as one could possibly hope for, without any need for additional explanations. The initial "V" is only explained by Esther Vanhomrigh's name, and there is really no reason why Swift, B.A. that he was, would have 1) invented a female form of an obscure androgynous deity, only to then 2) latinise it from -issa to -essa, and 3) change its initial "ph-" to "V".

Talk:The 5 Browns

message: While The 5 Browns are all LDS, is it fair to call them a "Latter-day Saint musical groups" (included in the category)?  Are their recordings at all LDS themed (I doubt it).  Are they endorsed by the LDS church?  I think the category itself is ambiguous--what does it mean?  That members of the groups are LDS or that they are officially recognized by the LDS church?  This has to be clarified.
Also, the article states their ages.  These will continue to change.  Instead, add a qualifier, such as "upon the release of their first album, they were..." or "from oldest to youngest they are...".  Just my $.02... — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I have looked everywhere for a source for the sentence; "Since the members are able to edit the Congressional Record before it goes to print, there is no mention of the actual use of the mace in this capacity." I've tried looking at all results from this Google search, but I can't find anything. The search is further complicated by the existence of someone named George Mace, which the Congressional Record mentions, resulting in a lot of unrelated search results.

Talk:Dean of the United States House of Representatives

message: If the list of Speakers associated with each Dean is only supposed to reflect those who were sworn in by that Dean, the tradition can only be traced back as far as 1849. It's unclear whether it happened before that. So either the list should include all Speakers associated with all Deans, or nothing before 1849. JTRH (talk) 02:18, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: What happened when the Speaker WAS the Dean,as happened most recently with Rayburn in 1961?(Years ago I had a reference to the tradition only being continuous since then but someone deleted it).Incidentally I recently learned that though Doughton became the oldest-ever Dean,he was NOT,as early Guinness Book editions claim,the oldest serving member of Congress up to that time...neither he nor Yates held that record,Hall took it away from Charles Manly Stedman (as well as the oldest-House-election-winner record from Pepper).12.144.5.2 (talk) 02:27, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Hello. This piece says:
Rogers and Smith were both elected 1980, but because seniority for Members of Congress sworn in on the same day is done in alphabetical order, Rogers is considered more senior than Smith.
Which supports Ringwiss' edits removing Rep. Chris Smith from the list, but I wonder if we should add a note explaining this or if it's too trivial to include. I'm also not totally sure the New Jersey Globe is a reliable source. --MZMcBride (talk) 19:03, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
