Talk:Octopussy and The Living Daylights

message: Why is "The Living Daylights" listed before "The Property of a Lady"?  In my copy of the book, the order is "Octopussy", "The Property of a Lady", "The Living Daylights", and finally "007 in New York".  Shouldn't the stories be listed in this order in the article?

message: * In "Octopussy and The Living Daylights", the capital T in "The" is because this title is the titles of two of the book's component stories ("Octopussy" and "The Living Daylights"), strung together.

thread_title:  Uppercase in "The" 

message: The intro says Octopussy was not previously published, but this is incorrect. Octopussy was serialized in Playboy before the book came out. This page gives a date of March 1966; and the CommanderBond.net website, one of the major fansites, also confirms that Playboy published the story first. Since this is GA I know an IP going in and making changes will be reverted automatically, so someone else will need to make the correction. There are any number of Playboy magazine indexes online that can be examined to confirm the dates. 70.72.211.35 (talk) 15:29, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

message: As before, I'm hesitant to add anything to a GA as an IP, but I believe it's been stated in a few places that the character name Solange from the 2006 version of Casino Royale was taken from the 007 in New York story. Plus, the epilogue of the Quantum of Solace film - Bond informing an agent that her boyfriend is an enemy agent - is identical to the plot of the short story. While the Solange one could be debated, adding Quantum of Solace to the list appears to be pretty cut and dried. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 19:18, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Just looking at the Russian wikipedia's edits why don't we move this article to the "times" symbol? I've been thinking about this for a while now as the x is certainly meant to denote "times/multiplied by/by" and just the letter "x" is an odd choice over using "×" instead - which can be found in the insert toolbar below.

thread_title:  Move proposal 

message: "100 metres" is a compound modifier.  Various style standards (as a tech writer, I've searched for and found several, and they're predominantly in agreement) agree that compound modifiers using a number and a unit (when the unit is not abbreviated) should be hyphenated.  Furthermore, in normal speech and writing, noun modifiers generally take a singular form (two-person job, five-gallon bag, auto repair, trinket store, four-door sedan, etc.).  Thus, I propose that the page be moved to "4 × 100-metre relay."  Is there an existing Wikipedia style standard that contradicts this? Holy (talk) 18:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:60 metres

message: It does not make sense to reference a runner who ran a different distance, and taking 60 meters out of that distance they ran and stating "it was this fast".  Conditions are different for every race, obviously the last 60 meters of someone running the 100 meter dash would be faster than just running 60 meters.  While this wasn't the claim that was made, it should point out the error in doing such comparisons. 68.13.132.27 (talk) 02:31, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: "it should point out the error in doing such comparisons". Actually, it does not. Obviously the time over last 60 meters of a longer race cannot be compared to a regular 60 meters race. But that is not a valid reason at all to argue that the first 60 metres can't be compared as well. In a sport like swimming, split times can even count as world record. However, a reason that the a split time in an outdoor race shouldn't be compared to an indoor time is the possibility of a tail wind, and other weather circumstances. Bolt did have a tail wind, so the information should be left out. Gap9551 (talk) 21:29, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
