Talk:Northwest Aroostook, Maine

message: "For every 100 females there were 200.0 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 212.5 males."
The article also states there are 27 people in the territory... So these statistics sound a bit absurd. I realize they're a standard format, but given the context, would "for every 1 female there were 2 males" or something work?

Talk:Charles E. Peterson

message: Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings was founded in 1877, if this article is going to make extravagent claims like '“founding father” of historic preservation' and  “godfather of preservation" then perhaps it should make clear what conservation principles Peterson developed. He certainly did not create historic conservation ab nihilo. Twospoonfuls 12:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: : Point taken. As the author of the article, however, I am not making the claim that Peterson was the "founding father." If you look at the references of these quotes, the American Institute of Architects and professionals and academics in the field of historic preservation are making this claim. Reading in-between the lines, I do think, however, that Peterson is being referred to as the "founding father" of professional historic preservation in the United States. I absolutely agree that individuals such as Ruskin or Morris established the precepts of preservation much earlier, but not in a professional nor U.S. context. Tous ensemble 14:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Thrift Savings Plan

thread_title:  External Links 

message: As of 2021-02-23 I read in the lede, "As of June 30, 2020, TSP has approximately 6.0 million participants (of which approximately 3.3 million are actively participating through payroll deductions), and more than $769.1 billion in assets under management".
I cannot find those numbers in the referenced document.  In fact it seems that the reference is not correct, because its title is, "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2018 and 2017":  The statement claims to describe TSP as of June 30, 2020, based on financial statements from the end of 2018.  The numbers I see are "Total assets at fair value" of $557 billion for 2017-12-31 and $559 billion a year later.  That isn't close to $769 billion.  
Might someone help find a more accurate reference or modify this so it matches something we can clearly document?

thread_title:  Assets under management? 

message: I think you were excessive in deleting all but one of the external references.  You cited, WP:ELMIN, where I read, "Normally, only one official link is included. If the subject of the article has more than one official website, then more than one link may be appropriate, under a very few limited circumstances."  Most of the links you deleted were to different organizations, providing different perspectives on the topic.  If you want to carefully cull duplicates, especially references to archive.org that duplicate more recent links included, I won't object to that.  
However, I object to such a massive deletion.  I'm reverting it.  Thanks for your support of Wikipedia.  DavidMCEddy (talk) 22:00, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Holtkamp Organ Company

message: I believe a discussion about what constitutes a "notable" organ is in order.  is clearly an enthusiast regarding this company's organs, and has added extensive information about various organs and their available registrations, expanding the article from 2,735 bytes in early September to over 60Kbytes today. However, there is no criterion given for what constitutes a "notable" organ, and, indeed, the added content seems arbitrary and excessive. A skimming review of other companies in :Category:Pipe organ building companies shows that they generally do not include the full specification of voicings available. Instead, a list format, including possible number of manuals and number of pipes, would suffice. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:50, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:MP3Concept

message: I'm not going to touch this myself (conflict of interest), but here are some things to do:
* It's not a bundle application, it's an old-fashioned single-file CFM Carbon application. It runs fine in Mac OS 9.
* The purpose was to show that a file could be a valid document (an MP3 file in this case) and at the same time a valid application.
* The article should mention that the whole thing would have remained completely unnoticed except for the actions of Intego, for which they were roundly criticised.

replies: text: I would argue that :Irishtown Bend Archeological District be merged into this article (Irishtown Bend).  The rationale:  The Bend is also a geological structure, and it's collapsing into the Cuyahoga River.  Efforts to stabilize the Bend are going to cost $50 million or more. Since there's a lot more to the Bend that just Irishtown, or an archeological site, this article should be kept and expanded, and the archeological article merged into it. - Tim1965 (talk) 14:42, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi/demi recognition 

message: I've added mention of the listed building to the lede, seen it deleted by User:SarekOfVulcan, have just tried a different version of mentioning it.  It seems appropriate and good to mention the building, in bold, in the lede, as some readers will arrive via redirect from clicking on building name elsewhere.  This is currently a merged article on two wikipedia-notable topics, the organization and the listed building that it owns.  It seems good to keep it as a merged article, as not much is available to write about the building, but as a merged article it is appropriate to show that it is a merged article, in the lede.  A possible alternative would be to add hatnote explaining "Headquarters, Order of Women Freemasons" redirects to here, but I think lede treatment as i have edited both suffices and is better.  The mention of the building is complementary to the lede's assertion of notability of the organization.  It gets across that this organization is at least significant enough to have its own building, and a listed one at that.  By the way, I note complete absence of identification any other Order of Women Freemasons buildings, which had been asserted to exist by other editors in other discussion sections above. --doncram (talk) 18:14, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect that the reason no other buildings are mentioned is that none of the order's other buildings are notable.  In fact, in the context of this article, I am not sure their headquarters is all that notable.  What is notable is "27 Pembridge Gardens"... a "listed" building which happens to currently be used as the headquarters of the OWF.  Blueboar (talk) 22:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:String Quartet No. 8 (Beethoven)

message: The statement "He published it in 1835." seems to be in contradiction to the article String Quartets Nos. 7 - 9, Opus 59 - Rasumovsky (Beethoven), which states "All three quartets were published as a set in 1808 in Vienna." 
It's also unlikely that 'He', which grammatically relates to Beethoven, would publish anything in 1835 since he passed away a few years earlier.
