Talk:Ferranti Thistle F.C.

message: I'm proposing that the articles on Livingston's former identities as Ferranti and Meadowbank be merged into that on their current incarnation. I know that separate articles exist for Wimbledon / MK Dons / AFC Wimbledon, but that's a different scenario due to the creation of a "breakaway" club and the dispute over who can claim Wimbledon's history and honours etc.  In this case, there's no such argument to consider. Meadowbank quite clearly became Livingston, whether you agree with the morality of what happened - I personally don't - and there was no "AFC Meadowbank" left behind. As far as I'm aware, a number of the Meadowbank fans ended up watching Edinburgh City who now play at Meadowbank Stadium, but this was a pre-existing club which merely took over the tenancy.
Livingston F.C. continue to give 1974 as their year of foundation. It should be noted that on becoming Livi they inherited Meadowbank's league place - they were never elected to the Scottish League as Livingston. Also, they initially played at Meadowbank under the new name before Almondvale was ready, as well as inheriting Thistle's players, management and colours.
In turn, Meadowbank were pretty much a direct continuation of Ferranti Thistle, despite the slightly perverse 1974 foundation date. Althought that year marked a change of name and ground, this was a result of Ferranti being elected to the Scottish League, and not a precursor to it.
Finally, I've noticed that on Wikipedia pages on American sports teams, where franchising of this sort is of course common, standard practice seems to be to have only one page, even for teams that have migrated across thousands of miles, e.g. the Brooklyn / L.A.

replies: text: I've removed the merge tag now following the lukewarm response received! See :Talk:Livingston F.C. for details. -- Jellyman 18:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Well if it's worth having a separate page for this incarnation, a couple of basic questions should be answered:
*Was the club related to Ferranti?
*Where was it based before moving to Meadowbank?

message: Re. John Morgan (etiquette expert):
I am the late John Morgan's brother. Please amend: "a South African..." to "the Australian..." for Mr Percy Savage. According to his obituaries (in August '08) it was stated Percy Savage was from Brisbane, Australia. My sincere apologies for previously misleading yourselves by correcting Australian to South African; I had thought my brother said he was the latter. Apparently Mr Savage was a particularly well-renowned fashion PR consultant (worth linking this in 'Wikipedia'?). My brother had tried PR with him before moving into journalism.
All else is accurate, as far as I can recollect. Thank you  Peter R Morgan (Mr), Perth, Scotland, UK.

Talk:Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys

message: Since when was a 2 track record lasting 6 minutes an "extended play"? And what difference does it make if the band called it an EP? It's a single. If they'd released a one track 7-inch with only the A-side on it and called it Five Minutes With Arctic Monkeys, by the 'EP' logic, this would then be a one-track EP, which is nonsense.--Michig (talk) 18:07, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone has demanded a citation for the assertion that Thomas Monteleone went on to become a respected author of supernatural thrillers. I hereby cite the opinion of a publishing professional who's been working in the industry for a couple of decades, and has significant experience in the SF, Fantasy, and Horror genre: me. The house I work for does not currently publish Monteleone. I've never been his editor. I have no financial or professional reason to promote him or his work. I have personally witnessed or been party to professional and nonprofessional discussions of Monteleone's work, career, and character.

thread_title: Needs cleanup

message: . . . seems a little over the top.  Nicholls is a source for the assertion that Laser Books were formulaic and predictable.  Nicholls is also a source for Nelson's book being one of the best.  The assertion that the books were unsuccessful seems self-evident on the basis of the short life of the imprint, but could probably be sourced easily enough from Locus, if really necessary.  The Anthony and Powers information can evidently be sourced on the basis of those books.  There seems no reason to cut these when sources are available; I'll refrain from re-adding them but if someone has those sources and time to hand it would be easy to do.  I can see cutting negative information about living people, per WP:BLP, but a  tag  or two would have done the job here, I'd think. Mike Christie (talk) 22:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I've upgraded the assessment on the article. In addition, I've edited the article for some basic standards and consistency.
# I've used the jct template. Some situations will need some coding tweaks to the template to switch over the CR usages and the business loop usage.
# Other road names should not be in italics. This gives them undue emphasis.
# I've converted the abbreviations in the prose to keep them consistent with the template-generated abbreviations. This is for compliance with the concepts behind WP:USSH.
# I've updated the junction list to reflect changes at MOS:RJL, the road junction list section of the Manual of Style. Since the table used colors, the legend needed to be added.
# "E of Camp Riley" is not a valid location. A specific township, village or city would be a valid location. Additionally, for major river crossings, the river is a location. Some research will reveal the names of the townships for the various junctions, even if the Mn/DOT logs do not.
# I've reorganized a few things... the subsection on "Improvements" is better in the History section than the RD section.

text: There should be a separate page branched off from the main article, that summarizes the story arcs alone; that way the character profiles can just be about the characters. Think about it, it would be redundant if other character profiles had summaries like this one because multiple characters appear in each arc. That creates multiple descriptions of the same event, which eventually will cause people to read the same info over and over. The character pages should perhaps only describe a character's major actions in a storyline. Summarizing events that happen around a character describes the story, not the actual character himself.

To fix all this, we need to:
* Add a reference to Baseball (NES) to Baseball (video game)
* The author who did the undiscussed move should write the Baseball (NES) article he/she linked to
* Move Baseball (1971 computer game) back to Baseball (computer game) so the wikilinks all realign (done)
