Talk:Four flush

message: What does "four flushing" in German mean? Pooter-the-clown 11:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I am removing the following unreferenced material from the article.  If any of it can be referenced, it can be included in the article.
Chevy Chase used the term "four flushing!" in the 1989 film National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. The term is also used by Pooter-the-Clown, actor Mike Starr, in another film Uncle Buck of the same release year.  The phrase is also used in the 1967 Walt Disney version of the Jungle Book.  Bagheera the panther calls Baloo the bear a four flusher.  James Cagney uses the phrase angrily and sarcastically in the 1955 film Love Me or Leave Me (film). In the 1926 silent film, "The Show Off", the term "four flusher" is used by Louise Brooks to describe her next door neighbor's son-in-law. William S. Burroughs uses the term "four-flusher" to describe some of the characters that populate his first novel, Junkie. Hot Lips Houlihan, played by Loretta Swit, uses it to insult Frank Burns (played by Larry Linville) in the 1973 "M*A*S*H" episode "Dear Dad ... Three". In the 1975 movie The Apple Dumpling Gang (film), Susan Clark's character Magnolia Dusty Clydesdale exclaims, "Don't slick talk me you four flusher!" while chasing her new husband Russel Donavan, played by Bill Bixby, through the town tavern. Bugs Bunny uses the term in the 1948 My Bunny Lies Over The Sea.
In the 1922 Harold Lloyd silent film, "Dr. Jack", C. Norman Hammond uses the phrase "a four-flusher!" to describe the doctor in charge of "The Sick-Little-Well-Girl" in the city.Dr. Jack Intertitles

message: I always thought it referred to faeces so massive you needed to flush the toilet four times to be rid of it. Hence calling someone that name meant they were a "giant shit". The true meaning is much classier. -- 118.90.106.233 (talk) 10:23, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:City of Perth

message: Question: where is the page about Perth (postcode 6000 - the CBD)?
: Very good question. One really needs to be written. Melbourne's is at Melbourne city centre, Sydney's is at Sydney central business district which I don't think works quite as well for us, as Perth is an odd shape (it includes stuff way up Stirling Street and behind the East Perth train station for example). I'll raise this at the WP:WA talk page. Orderinchaos 03:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The figures were amended in June 2014 without citation.  It looks like someone simply noticed the significant drop in population and assumed this was an error.  However, the drop was a result of the City of Perth being substantially reduced in size (Perth is now a very small city, about to be increased marginally in June 2016).  A citation to support the original figures (or any other figures) would help to resolve this issue.  Skinsmoke (talk) 19:05, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Some candidates I can suggest are Priddy Circles, Somerset Coalfield, Cheddar Man, Dolebury Warren, Charterhouse Roman Town, Drove Cottage Henge, King John's Hunting Lodge, Axbridge, Priddy Mineries.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/LinuxDC++

message: *Comment Let me see if I can summarize your summarization. All positive comments were ignored (democracy? who needs it?). Trivialized the guideline from WP:SOFTWARE that it in be in a major distribution like Debian. Your assumption that the "adoption" of a software (i.e. its user base) can be used as a measure is inaccurate since even WP:SOFTWARE#Controversial_criteria mentions that it is not a valid measurement. Completely ignored the fact that it is also in FreeBSD (another major distro), Alt Linux Sisyphus, Crux, Arch Linux and it seems Ubuntu (another one of them large distros), all of which are maintained by people other than the developers. Also ignored the fact that a google search for linuxdcpp returns 35,000 hits and that it's been mentioned on Softopedia and FreshMeat, which while they probably don't qualify as "non-trivial published works", they are still noteworthy. And this all ignores the fact that WP:SOFTWARE itself is a proposed guideline. From WP:SOFTWARE: References or links to this page should not describe it as "policy". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.32.208.230 (talk • contribs).
** I think the primary issue you are missing here is a distinction between DC++ and the Linux version.  The notability claims you make above don't infer any particular notability on this version.  Think of a similar situation in which we had a separate article for every major platform that Java has been released on.  All of the issues related to the Linux version can be, and should be, discussed in the DC++ article. —Doug Bell talk 11:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Yarram, Victoria

message: As a local I am aware of the number of bushfires and such that have effected Yarram, aswell as several arson cases (one of which was by a fireman and the other was done by a man who was angry they didnt get a job at the local highschool and decided to burn it down. Funny enough after therapy they actually got a job there) but am finding it hard to collect proper sources on this.
I do know they happened as the folks who worked and lived in Yarram at the time are still around to tell their stories but because Yarram is such a small town all of the reliable source location simply state the location of the fires as Gippsland.
Can I add them anyway to the History section? Or should i keep digging for stronger sources? Tara April A (talk) 13:52, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

message: "The M8 motorway in the eastern approaches to Glasgow took over some of the alignment of the canal, but more recent ideas have regenerated the utility of the canal for leisure use."
Looking over Google Maps, I cannot see any location where this might be the case. The canal appears to be either far to the north or the west of the entire area where the M8 is north of the Clyde. I see there is what appears to be an offshoot that runs into the city center era and comes to the M8, so I assume this is what is being referred to, but that appears to be a very small part of the canal as a whole, and it seems the "main line" of the canal continues to the Clyde to the west.
If this is correct, I think this should be more clear in the lede. But it's been decades since I was in Glasgow so I'm hesitant to comment. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Indeed, the passage is a little confusing because the concept of centralization in cultural evolution theories developed by archaeologists tends to be associated with the definition of chiefdoms. Less complex societies usually don't have strong evidence of economic or other forms of centralization, etc. Perhaps there is simply a word missing, for example, "...changed from being a less centralized to a more centralized chiefdom-oriented society" (emphasis mine)?

:The “Jewish global conspiracy” is still used today to explain wars and revolu-

:and again the threads come together in a book: the Protocols of the Elders of 
:Zion. Hadassa Ben-Itto gets to the bottom of the story of these Protocols over 
:seven years of research. The result is a factual report that could not be more

:ous young lawyer, who takes on all of this.
Have you read the book? What do you consider "scholarly" about fiction? Scholarly is clearly used to sell fiction as fact.
