Talk:William Bickerton

message: I started this page but it certainly could use some "filling in" of the details. I don't have much information on his life prior to his joining Rigdon's church. I also don't have much of anything on his later life after the move to Kansas. Why did his tenure as president of the church end in 1880? Did he retire or resign, or was he deposed? I don't have any of this information. -SESmith 03:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can help with that information and was actually planning to create this page next week.  It looks rock solid.  From my understanding the church was united under the Presidency of William Cadman per vote of the Quorum in order to keep the President at the HQ.  Basically at this time the church was in two locations and these two men held leadership positions, but WC stayed in charge of the General Church.  In fact, later controversy over growing a wine field would lead to William Bickerton actually leaving the church -- he rejoined before his death.  I'll work on this over the weekend.Jcg5029 00:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I've done pretty much all I can do with the sources I have. Feel free to change anything that I haven't got quite right. -SESmith 01:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:MERLIN reactor

message: MERLIN seems to have been the name of at least two reactors, both of them pool-type reactors in the EU.
* FRJ-1 (Merlin) at Jülich Research Centre, 10 MWt, operated 1962-1985
* Merlin Aldermaston (UK), 5 MWt, operated 1959-1962
(this from the european parliament website).
The Aldermaston pile seems particularly significant, as this website claims it was Britain's first privately-owned nuclear reactor for scientific research. Andrewa 03:22, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Luis Posada Carriles/Archive 1

message: Anti-Castro Cuban exile Luis Posada Carriles has just appeared in the U.S. requesting political asylum.  Here are two news reports from the BBC and the 
Miami Herald.  Here's a more specific link to the 
Miami Herald (registration required). 
Luis Posada Carriles, although born in Cuba is the former head of the Venezuelan secret police, according to the New York Times.  He was convicted of bombing of a Cuban airliner in 1976, killing 73. He subsequently escaped from prison.  If asylum is denied, he may be extradited to Venezuela. 
In 2000 he was convicted with Gaspar Jimenez, Pedro Remon and Guillermo Novo Sampol of conspiring to assasinate Fidel Castro.  The 4 were subsequently pardoned by the Panamanian government in 2004.  Jimenex, Remon and Novo were admitted into the United States.  The Washington Post article mentions that Novo was convicted of the assasination of former Chilean Ambassador Orlando Letelier.  The conviction was reversed on appeal, but Novo spent 4 months in jail for perjury. 
Anti-Communist Cuban activists are alleged to have carried out numerous terrorist acts over the past 40 years.   It is alleged that Luis Posada Carriles has worked for the Cuban-American National Foundation (CANF), which denies any connection.  The Miami Herald has recently run articles querying CANF's ties to terrorism.   CANF deserves an article in its own right, or a subsection within Operation Condor.
For now, we ought to be able to incorporate the attempted assassination information into the Fidel Castro article in a NPOV way.  It could replace the final sentence of the Fidel Castro#Criticisms of the United States section, which reads It has been confirmed that Castro has been the target of multiple CIA-sponsored assassinations, but none have been reported since the early 1960s.

thread_title:  Luis Posada Carriles & 2000 assassination plot 

message: I have uploaded this image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Luis_Posada_Carriles.jpg for inclusion in the article.  I'd rather use a more current picture, maybe in addition to this older one.  I'm not certain how copyright law would apply to an image from a Cuban website.  This may be our best bet for a current image. DJ Silverfish 15:56, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  adding a photograph 

message: Updated a slight inaccuracy; Carriles was not acquitted twice.  The first acquittal was nulllified by the courts, declaring that he and the others should have been tried in a civilian court.  He then escaped from prison before the new case was finished. --Tarc 18:30, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: it may be "conspirational garbage" to you, but is considered a reliable information source on most subjects (i'm not speaking about Sept-11). The linked article is completely respectable.

Talk:List of MythBusters episodes

message: I think going by the DVD seasons (which is similar to the Discovery.com seasons, shifted back by one and without the pilots), is more correct than going by years. The DVD seasons go over multiple years, but between them is multiple month-long breaks. For example, DVD season 1 starts at "Exploding Toilet", aired on September 23, 2003, and ends at "Buried in Concrete", aired on February 25, 2004, with regular episodes throughout. DVD season 2 starts on June 8, 2004. While this system isn't as consistent throughout the whole show, and I cannot find a list of the DVD season episodes, I fell it is better than the year groupings. Perhaps a second article grouped by DVD season could be made. MrHappyGuyChum (talk) 12:52, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Merriwa railway line

message: I've cut and pasted the following addition out of the article. There are no references, so I've moved it here in case any references can be found in the future.
:Today there is a plan for a small group of people to form Merriwa Railway Museum.
:The first aim is to restored the badly run down railway station and good shed back to former glory. Then to restore the old turntable and water collum, track work would follow, the people will mow, wippersnip and use weed killer around the rail yard to get the yard look better. The next aim would be to restore around 5 to 10k of railway line from Merriwa and run tourist trains for the public.
:One or two S wagons would be restored and put on display next to the old goods shed to show people the kind of rollingstock that was a daily sight on the line. A CPH rail Motor is an item of rollingstock that would be wanted for taking people on trips on the line if ever restored. The long term goal is to hopefully bring back the sight, sound and smell of steam on the line.
:An SMR 10 class would be ideal for the line and two FO end platform cars. D50 and 30T class locomotives were the main common steam motive power on the line. With 3090 (preserved at Dorrigo Steam Railway & Museum) being the very last 30 class to work the line.
:An SMR 10 class is amost a tank loco version of the NSWGR D50 class - Saturated boiler versions. Locomotive No. either 20, 26 or 31 currently in storage at Hunter Valley Railway Workshops would be an ideal loco for the line, as 20 and 31 are the two stored in the near best condition. SMR 26 is not to bad but would take a bit more work to return to steam then either 20 or 31.
:So a SMR 10 class on lone would be the ultimate goal for the Merriwa Railway Muesum. At the time of writing this on Sunday 25 November 2007. The proposed group is under forming and emails and or letter to Councils, and NSW Government are yet to be done.
If anyone finds references for this, please add them here. --Athol Mullen (talk) 04:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Professional wailers

message: This truly is a page which I hope can be added to and expanded upon. I created only because I came across the term "professional wailers" in some readings I was doing and was curios as to what Wikipedia had to say on the topic, hoping it furthered my understanding of the words. Sadly, I didn't find any pages on Wikipedia with such topics so I decided to create one.  I understand there is not much information there, but as of now that's all of the information I KNOW about this subject. The book with which I found what little I did on Professional Wailers has been quoted in MLA form and I gladly invite any editors of this page to have your local library rent that book for you so that you may find what a wealth of knowledge it contains which might be used for other Wikipedia pages. Please do not delete this page, as I hope that others might happen upon it and add what they know about the subject matter...

Talk:WBCN (North Carolina)

message: Per the WP:Disambig page, "If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary." Since the radio station call letters are the primary identification and the acronym for a storable liquid oxidizer used with kerosene and hydrazine rocket fuel is a secondary identification, a hat note is sufficient and requires no more steps than would a disambiguation page for people seeking the acid. - Dravecky (talk) 09:57, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Rationale for deletion of disambiguation page

message: The circumstances of the February 5, 2021, call sign swap indicate a potential Viking funeral, in which a call sign is switched onto a facility that will never broadcast again in order to retain a more valuable call sign.

Talk:Northwestern Michigan College

message: I have removed the following paragraph from the article's page.  
NMC has a a twenty year history of denying due process to its students and failing to follow its own governance policies. Its administrators frequently interfere with and effectively censor the student press.The college administrators will often forbid selected student critics from participating with the campus media. In 2005, NMC changed its policy regarding student rights to deny non-credit students equal protections of due process and civil rights. These issues were the basis of complaints to its Board of Trustees and the Higher Learning Commission, who accredits the college, and the ACLU. The problems remain uncorrected.
It is unsourced and contains strong POV.  If there are certain specific events that took place that were described by a third party then those events could possibly be mentioned in the article.  --Pesco (talk) 20:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunate, but true-not just POV. Third party sources are preferred I assume. What about  documents that were written by the college that support or admit these facts? What about my complaints to the college's accrediting body, the Dept. of Education, or the ACLU and these responses?24.231.243.152 (talk) 04:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Unsourced accusations

message: I've removed a series of additions made to this page by a user named NMCheadache due to their inclusion of apparent opinion and unsubstantiated accusations against the college, implied by phrases like "set a pattern of stifling freedom of expression", "have been arbitrarily removed" and "shown a willful disregard", and the lack of links to sources for what purport to be statements of fact. This goes against one of Wikipedia's fundamental principles, which is that Wikipedia "is written from a neutral point of view", and that "All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, citing reliable, authoritative sources".

Should it be acceptable for every single judge to have an article here on Wikipedia just because they ruled on a case?  I think the answer is no.  High profile cases such as the O.J.

Talk:Vernonia High School

message: This article seems awkward to me. The picture is of the K-12 Vernonia Schools facility which opened in 2012. The "Vernonia High School" which opened in 1953 refers to a building which is no longer in existence. I'm not sure the best way to fix the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcostley (talk • contribs) 06:34, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's pretty clear in the article that the schools are all in one building. The article is about the entity, Vernonia High School, and not the Vernonia High School building. The OSAA and the school itself treat them as separate entities.,  This is pretty common in the state where there are many K-12 schools in rural areas, and most high schools, even if in K-12 buildings have separate articles, although I think some of them may redirect to an article about their school district. I made an article for Vernonia School District, feel free to expand this article or that one with more info--there's a really good story there. Maybe add some info on the demolition of the elementary and high school buildings and according to one article they were going to save the middle school for reuse. I don't think this high school article should redirect to the district because they also have one school in Mist. Valfontis (talk) 17:40, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I guess what is confusing to me is that it lists "Opened 1953" which apparently refers to the old building, not the entity (this particular article was created before the flood for the particular building, I believe). I'm not sure when Vernonia first got something called "Vernonia High School." Perhaps there never was anything called that until the 1953 building. I've got a history of Vernonia somewhere, I'll try to find it and see what it says. For what its worth, the old middle school was also demolished.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcostley (talk • contribs) 03:58, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
