Talk:Lüleburgaz

message: What does the name of the city mean? Has it anything to do with the city of Burgas in Bulgaria? hubertgui
: Or connections with Arab Burj "Citadel" and German "Burg"? or even the germanically influenced town of Burgos, Spain?
::According to Lüleburgaz, the city was famous for its production of tobacco pipes and is named after the mouthpiece of a pipe, which in Turkish is called lüle. The burgaz part looks like it should have the same origin as the name of the Bulgarian city of Burgas, in Turkish Burgaz, or the island of Burgazada, which in all these cases is most likely Greek πύργος "tower". --Florian Blaschke (talk) 01:42, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Wadi El Natrun

message: The saints "Maximos" and "Domatios" were added a long time ago by an anonymous user.  They seem to be hard to verify.  I've found one man, Archbishop Maximus I of Constantinople, who (according to our article) for a time was "banished to the Oasis"; and another reference stating that Beheira is one of the places which sometimes are called "The Oasis".  However, this is a bit flimsy; and, while the (self-styled??) Archbishop Maximus may not have been more quarrulous than some other 'Church fathers' from the same time, who nevertheless now are considered as saints, there is no hint of a sainthood being considewred for this Maximus.  I cannot find any "Domatios" at all, and unhappily I di not know what the proper anglicisation of Domatios is. JoergenB (talk) 19:46, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

message: A note(that I will also place at the Skete talk page somewhat expanded):</br>
I've corrected-edited or added the accent mark on skete and sketis in (polytonic) Greek;but based on Greek dictionaries (e.g.1) the former is probably wrong when used in the sense written in this article cause only the latter word dating from the Hellenistic period is of the toponym, i.e. the name of the Aegyptian place-desert, while the former word was derived in Greek in medieval times from the latter denoting the monastic-ascetic meaning.An alternative also btw attested form of Sketis (Σκῆτις) in Greek (according to this) is Skitis (Σκίτις)...Thanatos|talk 09:11, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

message: This article currently has "starting around 1229, the date of the first recorded bastide", but the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica has "Mont-de-Marsan, the oldest of the bastides, was founded in 1141, and the movement for founding them lasted during the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries". The French wikipedia article has it both ways, talking about the "prehistory" of the bastide from 1144 (Montauban) to 1248. Can anyone with actual knowledge of French medieval history comment? If not, I'll try to summarize the French article. David Brooks 16:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the above statement because I can find no evidence of its validity.  As stated below, I am on the Board of Directors at the Justin Smith Morrill Homestead.  I have also read both biographies of the man, led guided tours of the homestead and consulted with the Strafford town historian and there is no evidence that the Senator ever attended college.  He was unable to afford to do so, and his father believed that if he couldn't send all of his children to college he couldn't favor Justin.  terrapin 12:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Alexander D'Arcy

message: I met Alex Darcy during the 80's at the occasion of a travel by train between Cannes and Paris (France). I did not know him before this encounter. I think we sympathised and during our discussion he told me the story of his life. The reason of his travel to Paris was to encounter somebody who could help him to write his memories that he expected to see published. He had prepared for this meeting, a written and pretty detailed synopsis of his life and he gave me it to read during the travel. I had a great pleasure to this lecture and I remember me asking him a lot of questions on the details of his life that I was discovering. From the memory I can have of what I learned from him :
  - He told me that his father was from Turk origin and his mother Italian.
  - He started his career of actor in England before the Second World War and he had a great success at this time.
  - He went after to the USA . The life offered by the Hollywood Studios was wonderfull...
  - He was playing theatre in new-york at the end of his career.
  - The principal problems in his life were linked to the women.
  - The principal problem of women in the cinema was that they did not accept to get older (he had sad stories concerning this fact)
  - He talked me about his daughter (who was very important for him) and told me what she was doing.
  - He had undergone a surgery for a throat cancer and he had a special voice.
  - He was sharing his life between France (Cannes ) and the USA.
  - I asked him what he thought of Marylin Monroe with who he had made a movie according the synopsis I was reading, and he answered me that she was not a well balanced person.
  - He talked me about Tony Curtis and said that he was a very nice guy.
  - Last but not least : he talked a very good french. 
I remember a very pleasant “ rencontre ” with an old man with a very interesting life behind him.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emile from Cannes (talk • contribs) 19:07, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The TED 220 document referenced in the article for the WV 140 number lists many routes that have never existed including WV 203, WV 204, WV 301, WV 303, WV 372, WV 401, WV 471, WV 473, WV 701, WV 703, and WV 922. Many of these numbers reflect existing county route number or are numbered based on existing WV routes in the area (WV 20, WV 37, WV 47, WV 7). A number of roads (WV 109, WV 290) ended up numbered as other routes (WV 43 and US 52).  I think this was basically a dream list of possible future WV routes, not something that reflects real numbering. WVDOH's maps show the bridge and approach roadways as being city streets. I think WV 140 was for if the state ever took over the bridge, but that hasn't happened. With that in mind, I think WV 140 should be scrubbed from the article since the bridge never seems to have actually been that. Bitmapped (talk) 04:15, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Interstate 470 Bridge

message: I came here from the FAC, and since this isn't directly related to the article, I thought I'd bring up the merge discussion here. There is plenty of redundant information:
"Construction on the tied-arch bridge began in 1975, and was scheduled to be completed by 1981. Construction was not completed on time due to the Ohio Department of Transportation's delays on Ohio State Route 7 along the western shores of the river."
As well as 
"The opening of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge, along with another bridge in nearby Moundsville was thought to have reduced the amount of traffic, and thus tolls collected by the nearby Bellaire Bridge by up to 50 per-cent in 1987"
The main piece of leftover information is the cost of the span. It doesn't even have the opening date for the bridge! Given how short the bridge article is, I propose it be merged into the main article here. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  19:02, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

My main point is that there probably isn't a good opportunity for expansion, since most of the information is already in this article. I don't think it would be terribly problematic. After all, the bridge is Interstate 470. Since the interstate is only 10 miles along, the bridge is one of the main focal points (from my reading, the primary reason it wasn't finished on time). It'd probably only merge in a sentence or two to this article, given what I've said. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  19:18, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
