Talk:Faiyum Oasis

message: The 'only' difference between the Fayyum and other oases is that the Fayyum is not an oasis. It is a lake. The word *iom* in Coptic (related to the Hebrew *ym*) is normally understood as 'sea', and I suspect that it was used to indicate large expanses of water fed by incoming rivers, in pretty much the same way that the German 'See' means both, the only difference there being one of gender: 'sweet' (m.) and 'salt' (f.). Oasis, as used in Egyptian and Coptic, refers to an area watered by underground water that have nothing to do with the Nile.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pamour (talk • contribs) 12:37, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

message: This (corrected for spelling) was floating around on the Faiyum page, Im dumping it here just in case someone might want to expand on it in this article
Undisputed remains of early anthropoids date from the late Eocene and early Oligocene, about 34 million years ago, in the Faiyum area, southwest of Cairo, Egypt. One of the earliest fossil primates at Faiyum is Catopithecus, dating to around 35 million years ago." 
If this unsourced statement is true (I believe it is except for the :Undisputed" part) than perhaps  the Faiyum Oasis article may be well served by mentioning it, unless this location is outside what would be considered the Faiyum Oasis Noexit2002 (talk) 05:40, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

message: This is the first time I have ever edited anything on Wikipedia.  Please bare with me.  This page is very rough right now, as I only learned about this topic recently, and wanted to add things to the page and expand the article.  Dulcie was an important part in the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa.  I am not very familiar with http, and am learning as I go along.  Please understand that I will polish the look and content over the next few months, this is not a completed work.

# I tried to find info on the instantiation in 2013 on gauteng.gov.za, education.gov.za, and opengazettes.org.za but only found basic info. Do you maybe have any? 
# Once there is substantial reporting about the school's celebratory activities such as Mother's Day we can add that as well, maintaining an impartial tone.

Talk:Duncan Mackenzie

message: This was written by an obvious partisan of Evans. We need some balance here. Let's have some page-number, line-item cites on the more scurrilous items; otherwise, it is just libel. Mackenzie was fired because he called Evans a liar with regard to the finds bearing on the date of Linear B, and the vindictive Evans, who had a lot of money, had no mercy but pursued his opponent for the rest of his life. Granted Evans was a great man but not everything great men do is great. Roosevelt wondered whether the president of the United States was not to be allowed one small vicious act. Well, you classicists know, a king may swallow his anger for today but later he works his wrath on his opponent. I dare say, I'm pretty well acquainted with that wrath, live classics, so to speak. But let us have a balanced view here, as that is Wikipedia policy. I got nothing against Evans beyond his anger but I think Mackenzie needs a fair deal here. It was Mackenzie who did the detailed work, you know.Dave (talk) 11:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I can't believe I wrote the above commant 10 years ago, and since then there has been no response. Well. I'm taking a brief break from Mycenaean Pottery to advance this article a bit.

Later they were asserting Mycenaean pottery was Minoan pottery. I'll try not to take another 10 years on this.

thread_title: No infobox line removed

message: I’m not at all sure Felix Mottl belongs in the category :Category:Conductors who died while conducting.
I’ve recently added some words to the category explaining that it is not restricted to those who literally died on the podium while in the act of conducting.  It can include conductors who left or were taken from the podium after becoming ill, and died shortly afterwards, either backstage or in a hospital.  But Mottl died 11 days after falling ill while conducting.  While we do not and probably should not define what “shortly afterwards” means, I think 11 days is way out of the ballpark.  In Mottl’s case, he still had time to marry his girlfriend before kicking the bucket.  
Even if he does belong in this category, he doesn’t also belong in :Category:Deaths onstage, as Conductors who died while conducting is a sub-sub-category of Deaths onstage.

message: Might it be worth scratching together a section on wear characteristics (or improving what's there, at least) and the variations on uses?
Ball joints are so common in some form or another that it's worth pointing to the oddballs, like electric solenoid governor linkages and other solenoid linkages, control levers, etc.
I agree that the ball joint is distinct enough from a Heim ("rod end") to warrant its own article. Their applications are different. Most commonly, though, I've heard a rod end joint referred to as rod bearing.

message: The statement that Earle Foxe had an elder half-sister was added in the first edit to this article after its initial creation back in 2006.
I have been able to confirm via genealogy research that an Ethel May Fox was born to Charles A. Fox and Katie Eldridge in Michigan in 1878, and that one of the witnesses to Fox and Eldgridge's marriage in 1874 had last name Aldrich. However, I have not been managed to link Charles A. Fox of Michigan in the 1870s to the Charles Aldrich Fox of Butler Co., Ohio in 1889-1891.
Further, Charles Aldrich Fox seems to have either died or been divorced from Eva May Herron within a few years. She re-married to I.N. Shields in 1896, and Earl is listed as a member of their household on census pages for 1900 and 1910 in Ohio, and 1920 (!?) in Colorado.
