Talk:Crosley Field

message: I don't recall ever seeing one on TV, and there is no such line in evidence in the photos in books such as Lawrence Ritter's Lost Ballparks and The Sporting News' Take Me Out to the Ballpark. The latter's photos contradict its own text, in fact. They make that same claim, but it is not in evidence in the photos. Also, the water was above the heights of the outfield walls in any case. There was a line across center field, but that was a home run line. There was an extension to the wall in later years, for a better batters' background, and anything hit above the line onto the extensions was a home run. The absence of the extension, and the line, is noticeable in earlier photos. Wahkeenah 09:21, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Gavriil Popov (composer)

message: I did a google search and found the following numbers:
(1) Gavriil Popov - 20,300 hits
(2) Gavril Popov - 11,800
Given that all of the first page of "Gavriil Popov" matches related to the composer, and that the first match for "Gavril Popov" related to a (living) Mayor of Moscow, it would probably be better if this article were to be renamed as "Gavriil Popov", especially as the symphonies currently in print all use the spelling "Gavriil".

Template talk:Figure skating at the Olympic Games

message: *I don't understand what is the reason to include 1912 in the template. Hektor 08:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This convention is observed on every other Olympic Games Sport template, where "gap years" in which the event is not held are indicated as such.  It is informative to see that the sport was absent from those Games after it had already been introduced to the Olympic program.  See  for another example - it wasn't held in 1960 because they couldn't afford to build the run.  If those gap years are simply omitted, the temptation might be to think that they were forgotten, not intentionally excluded.  The same convention is observed in the nation templates for missing years - see , where 1980 is indicated the same way, for the boycotted Games. Andrwsc 09:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Then why not 1904 ? Hektor 10:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because that's not a "gap".  1896, 1900, and 1904 are all before the introduction of the sport.  If you want to add them in, go ahead, but I don't think that's as useful.  Basically, we want to show the sequence of Games covering the span of the sport's history at the Games, but we don't really need to go outside that span.  For example, look at .  Would there really be much value in showing all those years before its recent introduction in 1998?  Probably not.  Andrwsc 16:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Thorfinn the Mighty

message: In the Karl Hundason section, 1st paragraph, the statement that in around 1040 Hundason is attacking Thorfinn and who is "most likely Mac Bethad", and then the last paragraph the statement that Thorfinn had a "strong alliance he held with his half-brother or cousin (historians still debate on this) Macbeth of Moray, King of Scotia."  Surely both statements can't be true.  According to the Orkneyinga Saga, Hundason tried three times to defeat Thorfinn; this was the same time that Mac Bethad defeated Donnchad at Elgin.  If anything, Thorfinn would have been batting for Mac Bethad against Donnachd.  Once MacBeth became king, if he were Hundason, would he have left Thorfinn alone?  --Billreid 18:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Karl Hundason bit is now revised and hopefully makes some sense. I was going to go into more detail, but that seems to confuse the issue rather than clarifying it. The idea that Karl was Donnchad will get addressed in the section on Ms. Dunnett's theory which appears in Donaldson's Northern Commonwealth, so it deserves a mention here. I am told that Alex Woolf seems less convinced of the historicity of the early parts of the saga than many writers have been. We'll see what he has to say when From Pictland to Alba is published, whenever that might be. Angus McLellan  (Talk) 13:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: :"Two very rare albino Great Bustards from the same nest were killed by electricity cables in Hungary in 2000 and 2003. The bustards, despite their large size, are able to fly at a high velocity (60 kilometre/hour) and are often mutilated or killed by the cables which are placed in Hungary just at their flying heights. The electricity companies affected will bury only part of the dangerous cables, therefore the authorities are experimenting with fixing fluorescent "Firefly" devices on the most dangerous cables to provide the birds with warning lights. (The funds available are not sufficient for a full treatment of the problem.)"

During the first half of the 19th century, a foreign visitor at an English country house was an appalling shot, and was spoiling the enjoyment of (and possibly endangering) the other guests. So, his host inventively confided in him that a Great bustard had recently been seen on his lands, and would he care to hunt for it on his own, assisted by a single keeper?

message: changed "predate" to "depredate" with the comment: To predate' means to occur before; the verb relating to predation is 'to depredate'
According to the Oxford English Dictionary  "predate" has two meanings:
*1.To give or assign a date to (a document, an event, etc.) earlier than the actual or currently accepted one; to set back in time
*2.To act as a predator of; to catch and eat (prey). Chiefly in pass.
The OED gives these examples
**1941 [implied in: Amer. Jrnl. Sociol. 46 491   Every predated organism fights to prevent its being gobbled up by the predator. (at predated adj.)].
**1956   Proc. Royal Soc. B. 145 313   Many larvae..were heavily predated by cuckoos.
**1977   New Scientist 27 Oct. 220/3   The eggs of many species of frogs are predated by many species of vertebrates and invertebrates.
