Talk:Orkla (river)

message: I see the discussions on this has been closed and archived, but as I keep on coming across Orklaelva in Wikipedia articles I just thought I would add my two-pennies worth as someone that was born a stone's throw from the river, and who has lived in Norway for more then 30 years, more than half of which was close to this river.
The official AND common name in Norwegian is Orkla. I've never ever heard anyone either locally or anywhere else in Norway refer to it as Orklaelva. So in my opinion the name Orklaelva is simply wrong. And this is why I will correct any reference to Orklaelva when I come across them.
A bit more for those interested: Unlike some other rivers in Norway that have the ending elva, Orkla hasn't, and never has. In this respect it is similar to Glomma river, the longest river in Norway. Nobody in Norway would call it Glommaelva. There are some Norwegian rivers that are occasionally named both with and without the ending in common language, e.g the river Tana which is also frequently referred to as Tanaelva.
In the local area Orkla is simply referred to as elva, i.e. the river, simply because it is the only major river running through the valley. But they would never call it Orklaelva or even use both words elva Orkla if it is clear from the context that it is the Orkla river that is being referred to.
People in other parts of Norway may occasionally use elva Orkla (but never Orklaelva), however, this would typically only be when it is either assumed that the listener or reader isn't familiar with the river, or when it is necessary to avoid confusion with the Norwegian conglomerate Orkla ASA, which incidentally is named after the river.TheEagleGuy (talk) 19:55, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Semerwater

message: I am a bit surprised about Semerwater appearing to be the preferred spelling on Wikipedia. On all my visits, I have seen nothing but the two-words spelling Semer Water on local signposts and information boards; and it’s given like this on the OS maps as well. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 21:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:The Ravens

message: Two rather significant non-Top 40 recordings:
(1) "There's No You".  Eseentially, a Jimmy Ricks solo which drew much attention in pop music circles for his expressive deep *deep* voice.
(2) The Joe Van Loan version of the Ravens had a much-remembered version of "Give Me A Simple Prayer" in 1956, that was praised on-air by (among others) Alan Freed, and played in many doo-wop outlets. However, it was not the success on the charts the band was hoping for. (Its failure was a key reason for the band's demise in 1958, with the feeling that if even that record could not bring them success, nothing would.)  
"Count Every Star" had a very strong influence on the ballad-singing of other "bird groups", most notably the Flamingos, and then the ballad singing of what became "doo-wop". Most notably, Maithe Marshall's floating high voice was the subject of much imitation. The overall sound could drop into a doo-wop radio show 8-10 years later and still sound new.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.12.90.14 (talk) 14:39, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Refs dump 

message: I fixed the age of death (which should be 57--the source cited is wrong), then somebody reverted it, and I posted an explanation...but that whole discussion has disappeared. Was it all in my head? I'll explain again. Satoh's date of birth is December 6, 1952. There are any number of sources for the date. Just Google it in Japanese. The first and most thorough article I read on her death (in Japanese) said 享年59歳. This refers to the old way of counting age, in which an infant was considered 1 year of age at birth. Furthermore, 享年 refers to the span of calender years in which a person existed, so Satoh's 享年 would cover the years 1951 (when she was conceived) to 2010 (when she died)--thus, 59 years. Subsequent, abridged articles mistakenly said said she was 59 years of age at death. One even gave the right year of birth (1952) but the wrong age of death (59). This is just sloppy journalism. Her actual age at death was 57 years. Just do the math. As far as I can tell, the year given for her birth in the current version--1950--was fabricated to match the mistaken age of death. I knew Satoh personally. I translated her story "Changeling" for Viz some 15 years ago. I know what I'm talking about. Since the person who did the revert specifically told me to not change it without discussion, here I am (again). Now I wonder if this post will magically disappear like my last. (Yes, I'm annoyed.)

Talk:Smoking

message: Pre-human and human inhaled smoke during their adaptation to the use of fire for 2.5 million years. Smoke from fire fumigated environment of human habitat, let rid of parasites and created the brand new balance in microfloral makeup, rebuild immune system, impacted on physiology (loss of hair/fur cover, exposed skin as the new organ), lungs’ CO2 intake, their unparalleled self-cleaning features and, as result, on cultural behaviour which made us Human. Addiction to natural fire, its’ light and heat, lasted up to the mid-20th century. It was the most profound for evolutionary changes period of the Human’ biological development. The wide spread of the habit of smoking tobacco coincided with the introduction of electricity as compensation for the decline of the natural smoke of fire in the environment. Inhaling smoke is anthropologically normal and biologically vital. Even a few smokers in the modern population represent valuable micro biological reservoirs for others. Deficiency in biological makeup or lack of balance in bio floral patterns can bring severe risks to human health. 
When we were living with smoke for 2.5 million years (only proven time) and somebody tells you “it is not good, please stop”, remember that consequences should be the same as – if you did not inhaled smoke for 2.5 million years - and somebody tells you today “you must smoke and inhale smoke”.
We can see that many people are trying “to cut corners” or even hacking in their participation in further natural selection. It is sad and very dangerous.
Not the inhaling of smoke but uneducated paranoiacs are going to endanger humanity. V.breskin (talk) 01:45, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Tengelmann Group

message: Kaisers is no more... EDEKA wanted to buy it completely with closing of course some shops... they produce almost everything in their own cheap version, unbelievable what they produce, from lightbulbs (Halogen + LED since the old ineffective 25 to 60 Watt bulbs only convert 3% into light and the rest is heat) over smartphones and own brand product under the more expensive products everyone is selling, I'm a Booster (like Red Bull just very much cheaper, others got something like that too, so I help them, but well, go to Russia for non-capitalism and their methods/payments?! and  but the Federal Cartel Office ("Bundeskartellamt") intervened because with all the EDEKA + Netto shops they already have over 40% market share, its crazy what they all kind of stuff, especially in the Edeka "Center(s)", 
I have the 2nd largest in Germany around the corner in the heart of Berlin, we are not used to such large shops for food except 2 shops with a limited number, now Kaisers as an agreement is split between the Top 2 players was done. EDEKA-Group got the most, I think over 200, REWE and their cheaper but I think because of that even more important [Penny (supermarket)|Penny] than REWE itself took the rest, and as always a few shops with some thousand poorly paid supermarket jobs were gone and yes... Since things like Booster and all these "own brands" make it more profitable/cheaper to produce as they really offer everything I can imagine with special contracts to larger or Mid-Size Quality companies, sometimes they produce for both Groups at once (chemical things for example). I wonder that Wal-Mart is not making Trillions alone in the US?!
How to write it? Simply it was bought by xyz, but because of the Cartel Office... of simply it was sold to EDEKA and REWE-Group?! I do not know if you prefer in English Wiki (for all articles) more "stub"-like articles or some with more than just a few words... "underpoints" or how you call it,

message: Whatever happened to Small Wonder Records? I used to know owner Pete Stennet from when I used to live at the local YMCA.
from memory - he sold the shop, moved to East Anglia (?) and did mail order for a bit/"retired", but then stopped a few years after..
He moved to East Anglia (Sudbury), where it was continued via mail order. He divorced his wife at the time (who had co-run the original shop) and the business sort of dried up.

message: Prefecture is not an appropriate translation. It should be “Region.” In Chinese, “海东” is referred to as “地区,” which literally means “region” in contrast to “prefecture” as “州.” It may also be translated to mean "district" but inappropriate here.

Talk:Bassmasters Classic

message: I object to the deletion for two reasons:
*The Bassmasters Classic, as I have written, has gained substantial attention in the last few years.  There is extensive media coverage on ESPN, in Sports Illustrated, and elsewhere.  Also, thousands of fans now pack sports arenas to watch the weigh-in.  If I could find those "third-party reliable sources" that you are so desperately seeking, they'll tell you how prestigious this event is.  I imagine that this is what every bass fisherman (or woman) wants to win at some point in their careers.
*The supposed lack of third-party reliable sources may have to do with BASS' ownership by ESPN.  Here I plead guilty: it's the only source of bass fishing information I know.  Someone will have to help me out on this.  And quickly, before the page is removed! - Desmond Hobson 22:35, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
