Talk:Taku River

message: Due to research on Talk:Fraser River a number of hydrologic info sites/links for Canadian monitoring stations have been found; not all of these work, but there's one for Taku River near Tulsequah but the one for Taku River near Juneau doesn't seem to be working.  These can be found on this list of monitoring stations which you'll note has an alphebetical directory at the top for looking for other rivers' information.  These are found through Water Survey Canada. Fisheries info should be available from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), which is probably http://www.dfo.gov.ca but that's just a guess.Skookum1 (talk) 15:51, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I Couldn't get at the graphs and archived data for Taku River near Juneau, but as you can see I found a table of 2008 flow statistics.  The similar page for Taku River near Tulsequah is here, though it's for 1987....note that the Juneau station has only been reporting sincde 1988, while the Tulsequah one is since 1953 or so.....presumably the "near Juneau" station is within Canada rather than in Alaska, unless there's some kind of joint project between the two countries...which in general is not all that common.Skookum1 (talk) 16:02, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Fur Rendezvous Festival

message: It seems a bit odd that "Fur Rendezvous festival" should be the title of the article, while "Fur Rendezvous" redirects. The full name is Fur Rendezvous. Virtually none of the other articles on festivals have the descriptor added where it isn't part of the name, even when the name doesn't unambiguously suggest a festival. And speaking of dab issues, there isn't one, since nothing else uses the name. Any objection to moving it? --Zero Gravitas 06:13, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I started the article, and IIRC my reasoning at the time was taken from the Rondy history page  where their first introduction states "The Fur Rondezvous Festival...".  I seem to remember that with "Festival" being capitalized, it was part of the "official" name (but then I didn't capitalize it on here, so who knows!).  If it's part of the name, I would vote to keep the name on here as is.  Perhaps we should contact an official from Fur Rondy?????  —akghetto talk 08:49, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Huh. You'd think that if it were part of the "official" name it would show up in that form more often; I still think it would be better dropped, but I'll concede the point. It probably ought to be capitalized, though. I'll just take care of that right now. --Zero Gravitas 09:10, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The existing controversy section is just meaningless WP:NOTNEWS bullshit, part of an effort to gratuitously spam various Wikipedia articles with mentions of Sarah Palin in the wake of her vice-presidential candidacy.  This is far from the only article which suffers from this problem.  However, there was controversy over this road many years ago, which is why it was built largely piecemeal over a long period of time.  Most of the controversy goes back to the first Egan governorship, which means that finding proper sources isn't going to be as easy as just effortlessly rehashing fleeting news headlines.

Talk:Sulayman Mountain

message: Doesn't make much sense to me to take this short piece out of the Osh page and show it separately.  People will much more easily find it under "Osh".  And calling it a "mountain of Kyrgyzstan" is rather ambitious, as it is rewally only a big rock.  I'd put it back on the Osh page.Cosal 01:33, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not sure, but I think it makes sense to have a seperate article. It is a very important mountain/rock for the muslims in the region, and has lots of history. Right now the article might be thin, but over time I think it'll show that deserves its own page. The categorization was just an intent to tie it to something. Maybe there should be a category such as "Sites in Kyrgyzstan" instead? --Vikingstad 07:36, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Holy Family Old Cathedral (Anchorage, Alaska)

message: This page move totally violates WP:COMMONNAME, by the way.  I just performed a Google search and the ONLY other instance of "Holy Family Old Cathedral" to be found was on the parish Facebook page.  Wikipedia doesn't exist to serve as a social media mirror for the parish or the archdiocese, it exists to be an information resource which reflects reliable sources.  WP: COMMONNAME mirrors this sentiment when it comes to the article title ("Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's 'official' name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources)...").

message: The Department of Transportation in the united States also employes SDT in evaluating intersection and locomotive grade crossing accidents, prevention, and safety.  Because the number of accidents that drivers DO NOT get in to when they cross intersections, the expectation of having an accident is low, the frequency of accidents is low and the risk is low.

replies: text: Agree totally.  The first paragraphs are referred to in the vernacular as the Lede or Lead.  They preceed the Table of Contents (ToC), and should give an introduction and an overview of the article.  This lede is, in my opinion, far too technical, with convoluted explanations in jargon only a specialist could understand.  The lede should be fairly comprehensible to the average secondary-school senior who is not familiar with the subject.  The heavy detail and jargon is appropriate later in the body of the article, if at all, with explanation, links, and, preferably, inline references to notable secondary sources.  I will look for a suitable template, or "flag", as you say.  rags (talk) 08:08, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:John Pinkerton

message: is there a reason that Robert Heron redirects here? i don't find the name anywhere in the article.--Alhutch 01:44, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  robert heron 

message: This from the Introduction to the Project Gutenberg ebook Early Australian Voyages, by John Pinkerton (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/2660/2660.txt). The introduction was written for the 1886 edition by "H. M.", or, H Morley, as per the British Library catalogue entry for "Early Australioan Voyages."
John Pinkerton was born at Edinburgh in February, 1758, and died in Paris
in March, 1826, aged sixty-eight.  He was the best classical scholar at
the Lanark grammar school; but his father, refusing to send him to a
university, bound him to Scottish law.  He had a strong will, fortified
in some respects by a weak judgment.  He wrote clever verse; at the age
of twenty-two he went to London to support himself by literature, began
by publishing "Rimes" of his own, and then Scottish Ballads, all issued
as ancient, but of which he afterwards admitted that fourteen out of the
seventy-three were wholly written by himself.  John Pinkerton, whom Sir
Walter Scott described as "a man of considerable learning, and some
severity as well as acuteness of disposition," made clear conscience on
the matter in 1786, when he published two volumes of genuine old Scottish
Poems from the MS. collections of Sir Richard Maitland.  He had added to
his credit as an antiquary by an Essay on Medals, and then applied his
studies to ancient Scottish History, producing learned books, in which he
bitterly abused the Celts.  It was in 1802 that Pinkerton left England
for Paris, where he supported himself by indefatigable industry as a
writer during the last twenty-four years of his life.  One of the most
useful of his many works was that _General Collection of the best and
most interesting Voyages and Travels of the World_, which appeared in
seventeen quarto volumes, with maps and engravings, in the years 1808-
1814.  Pinkerton abridged and digested most of the travellers' records
given in this series, but always studied to retain the travellers' own
words, and his occasional comments have a value of their own.
