Talk:Tomahawk, Wisconsin

message: For anyone who is paying attention to this article, I want to give a heads up I will be changing the history somewhat, probably not right away because I would like create an opportunity to discuss it off line.
The problem is that the article makes it sound as if Tomahawk was established immediately after the Ojibwe went to the reservations, and that was not true.  There was a big gap in time, and for a long period loggers were active in the immediate vicinity of Tomahawk prior to the founding of the TL&B company.
I know where the current text comes from: the 1924 History of Lincoln County.  That book has a couple of things wrong.  Of course I will cite my references when I make the changes.

thread_title: Additions to history

message: Neither of the lakes added by User:Jared.thompsonkml are in the city limits, so took them out altogether.  These could be re-added in another article about Tomahawk regionally, but this article is about the City of Tomahawk.  Also Lake James is not the GNIS name.  The name is Clark Lake.  The GNIS cites reasons why Lake James was turned down when a section of local people were evidently promoting this name.  LaurentianShield (talk) 03:54, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I reverted the anonymous edit citing "indiscriminate".  Actually the policy is very clear that there is not always consensus of what is "encyclopedic" but the policy then lists examples.  None of the examples apply here.  Furthermore, including references in popular culture is widespread and people find it useful. LaurentianShield (talk) 16:29, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Wikipedia articles always start with an upper case letter, so a move can't achieve what you want. Instead you direct Wikipedia to *display* the title with an initial lower case by adding  to the article (as I just did). Did this achieve what you wanted? YOu then have to change all the links in other articles that refer to it, e.g. I have already fixed the one in Ipswich, Queensland.

Talk:Dan Gibson

message: This article doesn't seem very neutral or encyclopaedic. Phrases such as "creating in all of us a deeper appreciation for the natural world in which we live" and "opened peoples’ eyes to both the beauty of nature and the need for its survival" are flowery, unnecessary, and add nothing to the article. This style is so intertwined with the informational content, however, that this article should probably be completely rewritten. It's not that there isn't any useful information, it just isn't presented like it should be. Also, the ending is rather abrupt. There should be some sort of conclusion.

Talk:Montane guinea pig

message: The modern references are off for this one. Fitzinger's publication is: "Versuch einer naturlichen Anordnung der Nagethiere (Rodentia)." It was published in Sitzungsberichte der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaft zu Wien 55 (453-515) and 56 (57-168). I just checked the volume years against a university's holdings, and it checks out, 1867 was the date of publication. Chubbles 07:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good find.  MSW3 cites "Fitzinger, 1857. Sitzb. Akad. Wiss. Wien, pp. 154".  I suppose it's possible that it might have something to do with the tschudi vs. tschudii spellings and Fitzinger may have had a tendency to publish there, but I think the odds of Woods (1993) getting wrong and not noticing for Woods and Kilpatrick (2005) to be vastly more likely.  --Aranae 15:27, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:London Passenger Transport Board

message: The Act specifies the Appointing Trustees. The Board, according to the Act, consists of a Chairman and six other members: it doesn't specify a vice-chairman (though Frank Pick was accepted as filling that role; and Lord Ashfield was generally expected to be appointed Chairman). The Act implies that the trustees acting together appoint all these members. It may be that in practice each Trustee did appoint one each of the members; but is there specific evidence that that is precisely what happened? Ivanberti 12:56, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting question, and I believe I found the answer courtesy of an article in JSTOR, namely:
The London Passenger Transport Act of 1933: A New Socialization by Alfred Plummer, in The Quarterly Journal of Economics, Vol. 48, No. 1. (Nov., 1933), pp. 181-193.
*The Appointing Trustees were convened by the Minister of Transport 
*Three members constituted a quorum 
*Decisions were made by a majority of votes of the members present
*Chairman had a casting vote
*The period of office (between three and seven years) was determined in each case by the Trustees
*Members were eligible for reappointment
The chairman and other members the Board had to be 
"persons who have had wide experience, and have shown capacity, in transport, industrial, commercial or financial matters or in the conduct of public affairs and, in the case of two members, shall be persons who have had not less than six years experience in local government within the London Passenger Transport Area."

Talk:Southwark Bridge

message: From Southwark Bridge article: It was known as the "Iron Bridge" in comparison to London Bridge the "Stone Bridge". The bridge was notable for having the longest cast iron span, 240 feet (73 m), ever made. It is frequently referenced by Charles Dickens, for example in Little Dorrit and Our Mutual Friend, and there was a recreation of the old bridge made for the 2008 Little Dorrit (TV serial).
From Hungerford Bridge article: This bridge is probably the 'Iron Bridge' of Dickens's Little Dorrit (1855-7).
Presumably one is wrong, and I'm guessing from the text Southwark is likely to be the right one, but the sources on the pages don't clarify either way.
I've posted this to the talk pages of both bridges, so if you clarify on one please close the issue on the other. Lessthanideal (talk) 23:26, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Anyway, does anyone have the callout order for France's Next Top Model, also? The only callout order I know is of the finale episode, and they only called one name -- Alizee's. So if we could get a collaborative effort to fix this page up and make it look nice, that would be awesome.
Also, does anyone have any images that are from the show? I know of one that has the snake-photoshoot, but that's all.

This page was poorly translated from French and I don't think its written in a very encyclopedia-like way. I think it needs a cleanup.
I really must say, reading this article is actually kind of entertaining because of the poor translation.
