Talk:Norton, County Durham

message: Imagine you live in Nebraska. Mighty pretty. You look up some places in Yoo-rope. Norton - seems a good choice.
*"A well known effigy ..." - a what, where? What is it? Where is it? What does it look like and does it eat corn? A reference would make it clearer.
*"Big Ben is on a platform at a local railway station ..." What would convince me? A reference, for example, a newspaper report might do the same. "The diameter is 9 feet 5½ inches; the height outside 7 feet 10½ inches; inside 6 feet 8 inches." Does such a bell exist at Darlington Station? The reference states very clearly that it was broken up in London and recast. That means they used the broken one to make the present one.
*"The first railway in the world passed through Norton ..." Could it be true that all the maps are wrong? ... that the shortest route to Darlington fom Stockton (which should be due west) was actually served by a railway that went north first?
*"... first railway in the world" There were railways before steam. They were horse-drawn. Amazing but true. Stockton and Darlington's railway was initially for freight - but was augmented with a passenger service. It is this that it claims as a world first. However, this railway didn't call at Norton until years later.

message: *The Rocket was never used on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, but Locomotion No 1 was.
*Norton was never on the Stockton and Darlington Railway. It passed to the south of Stockton - nowhere near Norton; you are refering to a later railway. 
*The brick sculpture of a train near Darlington depicts the Mallard, not the Rocket.
... it didn't take me long to look up this information - perhaps you could do the same before you rewrite sections.

Talk:Owton

message: I have looked at the potential copywrite violation. I cannot verify if the original work was published in 1905 so will stick with the 1928 online digitised edition which means US copywrite will still apply until 2023. 
As such I had rewritten the article and omitted the section that would have violated copywrite rules. I have made a brief mention to the first mention of the village and referenced Page's 1928 published work. 
Hope this resolves the issue

replies: text: Because the discussion has already been had at AfD which produced a clear consensus to keep. Given the article talk page is obviously not so obvious to other editors as an AfD, this is like having another AfD that's not so well attended! Which, let's be honest, looks rather like trying to get it deleted anyway without any input from those pesky editors who objected at the main forum for getting things deleted! Generally that's not how things are done on Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:47, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Broadcasting House (disambiguation)

message: Is it appropriate to refer to the old Leeds building as "Old Broadcasting House"?  It was never referred to as such during its occupation by the BBC. - 15:05, 1 December 2007 by 82.27.78.17
:If you, or anyone else, would like to write about it (it has a long radio drama history) then you are most welcome to under the title it's known as now Old Broadcasting House, or under Broadcasting House (Leeds) and I'll put in a redirect on the unused one. I opted for the title Old Broadcasting House because that's what it's now known as and to try and differentiate it from the Broadcasting Centre built almost next door in the early seventies as the headquarters of BBC North and its new BBC TV studio. Broadcasting Centre was a popular BBC term at that time.
:As a side issue and since doing this - Old Broadcasting House is now becoming used by the Beeb to describe the original Broadcasting House in Portland Place in an attempt to differentiate it from the new extension built next to it. Déjà vu or what?...Zir (talk) 13:05, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Intended interpretations 

message: I marked two statements in section Interpretation_(logic)#General_properties_of_truth-functional_interpretations with the  template. Since the reasons I gave as parameters are not rendered, I repeat them here:
* "...interpretations associate each sentence in a formal language with a single truth value, either True or False. These interpretations are called truth functional"
: The article Truth-functional gives a more restricted definition: the truth-value of a compound sentence should be a function of the truth-value of its sub-sentences.
* "No sentence can be made both true and false by the same interpretation"
: This seems to exclude paraconsistent logic which can handle inconsistencies. However, the article doesn't yet mention interpretations.
- Jochen Burghardt (talk) 09:31, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No doubt there are many issues with this article. It was started as a content fork of structure (mathematical logic) by an editor who did not really know the subject he was writing about . After that, it was expanded somewhat. But there are very few sources for "interpretation" in sufficient generality to cover both first order logic, modal logic, paraconsistent logic, intuitionistic logic, etc. -- so the article is doomed to be a mishmash of various topics, unfortunately, unless someone just rewrites the whole thing. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:17, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:DTCC

message: ----
Why do we refer to the subject here - "DTCC" - as a "four-letter acronym", when it is not an acronym, and have the word "acronym" hyperlinked to the article that tells us what the difference is between an acronym and an initialism (which this is)? It makes a nonsense of the link. I don't write articles for Wiki, but do edit for grammar now and then, and I think writers should take note of the difference between acronyms and initialisms. Once we merge the meanings, we lose the meanings.

message: Exactly what nationality and where is he from? KTC 15:31, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He was from Odense, Denmark originally, however he moved to Canada during the 1950s and was residing with his family in Grimsby, Ontario with his family at the time of his death. As he competed for much of his career in Canada, I thought his being categorised as a Canadian wrestler applied. Angelo Mosca for example was only recently granted a Canadian visa despite living in the country for decades. There wasn't a Danish or European professional wrestlers category, although I did think the Canadian category was approprite at the time. 71.184.54.232 21:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

As the footnote I left says, this may be a misprint (it wouldn't be the first in Genesis lyric sheets- in "Fountain of Salmacis" the line "distrubed the strange tranquility" appears), or it may be one of Gabriel's oblique references.

Talk:Office for the Administrative Review of the Detention of Enemy Combatants

message: Recent changes characterize OARDEC as "a United States military body".
Is it really "a United States military body"?  What does that mean?
It is headed by the "Designated Civilian Official".  It is said to be staffed by a mixture of civilian and military staff.  Does it matter, since the head is a civilian?  Maybe all the other civilian workers are based in Washington.
Other than the DCO how many civilians work for OARDEC?  I don't know.
Is OARDEC performing a military role?  I'd say no, it isn't.  Geo Swan (talk) 00:14, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I placed the "multiple issues" template on the article, noting in my edit summary "the large amount of relatively new content is unsourced, US-centric, essay-like, and needs to be wikified." 
Additionally, contributors to this article should be aware that articles should have lead sections that are capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article. (It is not sufficient merely to define a term.) The lead section would be a good place to discuss geographic context.

thread_title:  Too many images 

message: I gave up trying to read this article because of the excessive images, which make it very uninviting and hard to read. Right now it has 44 images. At least half of those should be deleted, and the other half should be greatly reduced in size. If someone thinks that bombarding the article with images is the way to interest readers in the subject matter, the reverse is actually true -- far too many images, most of which are far too great in size, and with far too lengthy captions, merely serve to scare potential readers away. Softlavender (talk) 06:31, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article very difficult to read because of images 

message: Per the above feedback, the article was quite difficult to read because of the number and size of images.
I've removed duplicate images and reduced the size of others, and moved placement on a few others. Now the article is more readable. It could probably do with more image trimming (a poster above recommended no more than four images), but I didn't have the hours to make those decisions -- someone else can.
To the editors who have created the bulk of the article: Please remember the following:
*The purpose of a Wikipedia article is to impart information. If images clutter the article and make it nearly unreadable, the article fails in its purpose. Please see any number of Featured Articles on Wikipedia to learn proper use of images.
*Images do not have to be large. All Wikipedia images are clickable to enlarge. Images placed in articles should be small, and not overwhelm or disrupt the text. Readers know they can click for a larger view.
*Images should not obstruct subheadings. 
*Text should not snake around right- and left-hand images.
*One image per play is more than sufficient. Do not post images of several productions. If you would like to post images of other productions on Wikipedia, do so at Wikimedia Commons, and/or see if you can post them on the main article for the particular play. (For instance, I notice that this has been done on the article for The Mandrake.)
*Wikipedia is not a repository of images. If you would like to direct readers to more images from RSC, do so in the External Links -- post a link to an official website, or to your own website if it is appropriate to the subject.
Thanks all. It's good to have this nice article on RSC. Now that it's readable, hopefully more people will enjoy it. Cheers. Softlavender (talk) 06:31, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Controversies regarding the role of the Emperor of Japan

message: Although The US Library of Congress is listed as a reference, a section of this article is copied and pasted directly out of their website and should probably be rewritten or quoted properly.
The following passage is copied directly:
"Laws relating to the imperial house must be approved by the Diet. Under the old system, the Imperial Household Law was separate from and equal with the constitution. After the war, the imperial family's extensive estates were confiscated and its finances placed under control of the Imperial Household Agency, part of the Office of the Prime Minister and theoretically subject to the Diet. In practice remains a bastion of conservatism, its officials shrouding the activities of the emperor and his family behind a "chrysanthemum curtain" (the chrysanthemum being the crest of the imperial house) to maintain an aura of sanctity. Despite knowledge of his illness among the press corps and other observers, details about the late Emperor Hirohito's state of health in 1988 and 1989 were tightly controlled."
