Template talk:Quebec-hist-stub

message: Is there a reason that the Patriotes flag was chosen for this template, rather than the current flag of Quebec? When I first came across it, I actually thought it was a mistake. I'm not saying it's wrong; I'm just wondering. - Eron 02:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am also puzzled with the choice of the flag. The current :Image:Flag of Quebec.svg would seem to be the more logical choice. However, I think creating a specific "History of the Patriotes" category should be discussed. Flibirigit 17:15, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The idea, I believe, was to visually disambiguate stubs about Quebec history from other Quebec stubs.  The intent wasn't to confuse all Quebec history with the Patriotes.  I quite liked it.  Many people don't even know about the Patriotes' flag, so it was educational too. I say we bring it back.  Kevlar67 01:48, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I might actually favour the old Fleur-de-Lys, with the flowers at a 45 degree angle, over the Patriotes flag. The old Fleur-de-Lys was around for much longer, and was representative of more people. Arasaka 03:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Using the Patriotes flag is inaccurate. Especially history outside of the 1830s. I also agree the the Fleur-de-Lys, would be sufficient. Flibirigit 23:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a simple bloody symbol of Quebec history, it was a national flag for the Quebecers of the time and WAS the flag of Quebec under the short-lived Republic of Lower Canada. Canadian history stubs have the old Red Ensign, as other history stubs have older flags. Many people stubs have the picture of one relevant person as a symbol, which represent as much the whole group as the Patriote flag represents Quebec history. It's a more specific symbol of Quebec history than the fleurdelisé and must I add that it adds variety and esthetics. I say bring it back. --Liberlogos 16:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your arguement to have a symbol of a very short period in time, representing a very long period in time is rather flawed. It is rather too specific in time to apply to all of Quebec. Flibirigit 05:20, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Than add a picture of de Champlain or Cartier or something. Anything is better than the very modern Quebec flag, which provides no visual clue that it's a history article. Kevlar67 10:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The modern Quebec flag at least is a clear identifier of Quebec, by default it's a pretty good symbol for the history Quebec even though it is relatively recent. Cartier's face is somewhat identifiable for Quebecers at least, Champlain's not so much. But I'm not sure either are really effective symbols. But anything beats obscure historical flags.--Boffob 05:28, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

text: It's a symbol of a bloody short period of history (3 years?!), very unrepresentative and obscure. The Red Ensign was there for years, and used officially! The old Carillon is arguably "flagcruft", but less so, and would be a better choice than the Patriotes Flag. That or the current. Arasaka 03:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Andy Clark (musician)

message: I believe that two Andy Clarks have been mixed up here:
Simon Andrew Clark was in Be Bop Deluxe, Bill Nelson's Red Noise and formerly with a band called Mother's Pride (from Sheffield, I believe).
He went on to work with David Bowie and Peter Gabriel, also touring with Judy Tzuke.
To the best of my knowledge he was born in 1956; the link to the Sam Gopal fan site listed below indicates that he joined Sam Gopal Dream somewhere around 1965 / 1967, when he would have been around ten years old.
Further research is required to ensure the accuracy of this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.60.98.133 (talk) 00:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I have been working hard to rewrite and clean up the U.S. Route 80 in Arizona article, which falls into the scope of WikiProject United States (albeit as an article of low importance).

thread_title:  Important Stubs 

message: Hopefully this is the right place to put this comment, please redirect me if it isn't:
I believe that the importance of the page for the Stono Rebellion should be reassessed. The Stono Rebellion is currently rated as of low importance in the WikiProject United States, but it merits at least medium or maybe high importance. As one of the largest slave revolts in American history, it is important in and of itself, but it also played an important role in the development of laws around slavery (which spread outside of just SC) and in several later slave revolts. The role of Kongo slaves in the rebellion also represents an important connection between the lives of early slaves and their roots in Africa. It is a well-known and commonly discussed revolt, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. That said, it is frequently underappreciated  in its significance, and thus critical that Wikipedia give it the attention it deserves.

And - more important - how far apart? Since of course this does not show at all in the pictures. After doing some research I can at least put in a sentence about the handles being on opposite sides of the Parade avenue.
On other pictures I can see that the handles are curving towards each other. This does not show in the pictures which are in the article now. Maybe they should be replaced with pictures from which a first time viewer can get a better impression of what it looks like in the real.

text: Koontz himself calls it a blend of "supernatural thriller and screwball comedy", the latter being patterned after the comedy films of the 1930's such as Bringing Up Baby & The Philapdephia Story, with a strict plot pattern - see the Afterword in the novel. The theme is (IMHO) deadly magic overcome by good supernatural powers and love; the countertheme is the clash between traditional Vietnamese culture and the protagonist's desire to fulfil the American Dream.

Talk:Three Block War

message: I disagree with the proposed merger into Strategic Corporal.  While a "strategic corporal" may be an important leader in a Three Block War, the two terms are quite independent. --JD79 02:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you misunderstood. The tag referred to merging Strategic Corporal *into* the article Three Block War. The Three Block War is the main context of the Strategic Corporal. At present it seems likely to remain a stub and nothing more. If it expands further later, such that it merits a separate article, it can be split again. But for now, it is not well-linked (despite searching the rest of articles for this phrase), and probably won't grow. --Rifleman 82 03:21, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also disagree with the proposed merger, and I disagree that the Three Block War is the *main* context of the Strategic Corporal. As JD79 says, the two terms are quite independent. It (the Three Block War) was the *original* context, but with time its use has evolved. The strategic corporal (or even the strategic private) can perform acts in front of a camera that have nothing to do with a Three Block War, but have enormous strategic ramifications. I agree this may not quite be what Krulak had in mind when he penned his article in 1999, but these days the term is more widely used than its original context. Pdfpdf 07:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Andres Almonaster y Rojas

message: I changed some of the article due to the fact that the first Church was a parish Church and not a Cathedral at the time, it was not make a Cathedral until 1794, also it was not pulled down in 1850, it was remodeled due to the 1849 damaged from the center towner falling onto the roof. This came about due to John Kirwan the contractor having supports removed.
"He provided the funds for building its first cathedral, in which he was buried soon afterwards. This first cathedral was pulled down in 1850, but Don Andres' tomb has been preserved in the new building. After the fire of 1788, he built at his own expense a public school for the city, as well as the house for the use of the clergy and the charity hospital at the then very considerable cost of $114,000. He rebuilt the town hall and the Cabildo, the buildings on either side of the cathedral, the hospital, the boys' school, a chapel for the Ursulines, and he founded the Leper Hospital."

thread_title:  Changes 

message: The Legacy section states that his name was Almonester, which was then amended to Almonaster. The article uses both forms somewhat indiscriminately. The title in particular uses the a form. If the change was made posthumously, should the article title and internal name be changed to the e form? If not, should the a form be used throughout for consistency?

message: This movement started 20 years ago in Chicago, and seems to be gaining ground.
It is controversial among Catholics themselves because of the presence of alcohol at gatherings; some prominent church leaders are on the record as supporting it.
The fact that a notable Archbishop (who is soon likely to be elevated to Cardinal, per his Wikipedia entry) addressed a gathering and made a joke about it leads me to believe that it is, in fact, now notable, so I included that in the original entry.
Even if the entry is deleted now, I'm sure it'll be re-created and left to grow at some point in the future.
