Talk:Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad

message: Questions moved here from the station list:
*Does anyone know what happened to the trussel bridge that crossed the Severn, 
*I am also wondering where in Mondern Day Annapolis did the train line run too.(Maybe along Rowe Blvd?)
I did not ask these questions, but one of the entries seen in History says that the trestle was declared unsafe in 1968 and abandoned thereafter. Aerial views of Annapolis on Google or Bing maps show a line in the brush that can only have been a railroad line; it runs where you might expect it. Actually, aerial photographs like that are excellent tools for tracing old railroad alignments.

Talk:Washington, Brandywine and Point Lookout Railroad

message: I don't think this information is correct; everything reliable that I can find states that the WC&PL actually ended up building the B&O's branch from Hyattsville to the Potomac opposite Alexandria. It then leased the line to the B&O in 1874 and sold it later that year. Some details as to the 1890s are sketchy, but this article is at best misleading. --NE2 01:00, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:WUMB-FM

message: First of all I live in Iowa and have only listened to this station online. I would like to see some discussion of how the music format of this station has changed over time. 
When I first listened to WUMB over 10 years ago I remember it as an all folk, mostly acoustic format. Lots of raw folk: Guthrie, Seeger, etc. I am not sure when that changed. I would be interested in that in this Wiki article.  Thanks.  Pashwood (talk) 17:41, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Concerns re: sources and references

message: The current version of this article reads like a hyped-up report to shareholders, so I'm deleting most of it, and if you put the garbage back, I'll propose that the entire article be deleted. See Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements_masquerading_as_articles. For a sane article about a company in the same business, see Harcourt_Education. See how there aren't mindnumbingly blatant bits of advertising cruft in that article? Good.
I'd like to ask the Pearson Scott Foresman corporate shill here to please stop misusing the encyclopedia. Golly gee, Dick and Jane, look here! "The California State Board of Education unanimously approved Pearson Scott Foresman’s innovative curriculum in 2006"!  That's an "educational milestone" that belongs in an encyclopedia? No. It's not.
Listen, shill, thousands of people involved in elementary education know that Pearson Scott Foresman treats 6th graders like rabid wild animals that need to be subdued by giant two-page glossy color spreads of cute kids and furry animals before the poor dears will understand what tiny bits of math and science exist in your godawful math and science texts. Imagine a 6th grader pounding their textbook with a dumb-ass grin on his or her face and shouting, "LOOK MOM! THERE'S A BIG PICTURE OF A CUTE PANDA IN MY MATH BOOK SO MATH MUST BE FUN! HOORAY! MAKE THE SCHOOL BOARD ORDER MORE! Who's Al Gerba?" and you have the universal fantasy of Pearson Scott Foresman corporate shills. The more stupid we as a nation get, the more likely we are to buy their books in large quantities so we'll be even more stupid in the next generation.
Maybe your shareholders read Scott Foresman books as kids so you can treat them like the idiots they are, but, believe me, most Wikipedia editors are smart people as a result of never coming into contact with most of your so-called educational materials as children. Now take your corporate spam out of this encyclopedia or "I shall be forced to taunt you once again." 71.162.69.247 04:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Bloc Party

message: The Wikepedia article fails to refer to the blues roots in 1968 - which someone needs to research. Most importantly, though, there is no reference to it's place in Southampton/South Coast jazz, where it hosted independent promotions and was also home to Southampton Jazz Society for many years. All jazz was played there, from Dixieland to fusion, and there were many famous soloists visited from USA and Europe during the 1980s in particular. This is an outline, but I have much archival information from my father and people I have known - which will necessarily be condensed down for purposes of the article. The extant article doesn't even seem very thorough about its Rock heritage, which really followed on (and overlapped) with the years of jazz and blues. I personally remember many nights of many styles of music there, and there is much documentation. It has been a very important venue in the south of England, having an independent dedicated back bar room, and some either enlightened or indifferent landlords! This is for discussion, not for the article, hence no citation.Stuarthants (talk) 23:20, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:K07AAD-D

message: Two stations are confused in this article: the station that used to be a translator for KUVN-TV, and the current K31GL. They are not the same.
KUVN-LP once broadcast on channel 31 - its former calls were K31CM - but moved to channel 47 in September 2001, then changed their calls to KUVN-CA the following year.
K31GL was once K65BC, was licensed to Mullin, Texas, about 90 mi. west of Waco, and was owned by Pompey Mountain Broadcasting. Mako Communications bought this and three other stations owned by Pompey Mountain and licensed to Mullin, and moved the whole lot - 3 to the Dallas/Fort Worth area (the others are K67BL, now KODF-LP, and K69BS, now KHPK-LP), and 1 to the Austin area (K63AY, now KVAT-LP) - in September 2002. dhett 07:15, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Stuart Beattie

message: This article had unsourced POV material such as the claim Beattie was "noted for his strong pace and intelligent scripts." I removed that as it's not encyclopedic without a reference. Also, the article claimed, "his most well known work would be on 2003's 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl' as the story writer." Who says that's his most well known? Additionally, a "story by" credit does not mean someone is the "story writer" on a film -- a story by credit is subordinate to a "screenplay by" credit and, in fact, means very little of the writer's contribution is left in the film. See the WGA screenwriting credit system article for more information about how that works. Carmela Soprano 18:30, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
