Talk:Wideopen

message: I know some miserable NPOV-minded Wikipedian will want to emasculate this article. Please don't - we need more like this. I wrote that before I saw all the false links - needs an heavy re-write. -- RHaworth 09:37, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)
The last change, which added "or Wide Open", i.e. suggesting the estate can be spelt with a space, is incorrect.  The estate is correctly called Wideopen, although it suffers from some schizophrenia, as even some local signposts, presumably commissioned by North Tyneside council, point the way to Wide Open.  However, this is incorrect.
As to the content, perhaps it could be left as it is for a while.  I personally don't find it offensive, and it even appears to be accurate, as long as the simple facts of the article are considered.  I doubt it will even be viewed, let alone cause offence, and of course it can easily be changed by an offendee. -- 194.9.188.22  11:50, 2005 Jun 22 (BST)

:yeah, it might be a good idea to reinstate the "or Wide Open" that I deleted earlier today, but also mention the inconsistency. The JPS 13:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: RHaworth has made an excellent update to the article.  The article uses the correct form, whilst also addressing the controversy. Wipedia shouldn't shape knowledge; it should reflect it. The form 'Wide Open' clearly exists (as in the sources RHaworth has listed), and that should be acknowledged. The JPS 13:27, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: one word or two

message: I've added a to-do list at the top of this talk page. It's mostly for my reference, but it is of course something that anyone else can use if they wish.
For the record, I have links to the area, and can't recall seeing much of it spelled as Wide Open. My hypothesis; it can be written as a couple of English words, so is written so by those not local to the area. There are other places that are written just as normal words - the first example that springs to my mind is Pity Me, in County Durham. As an endonym and the primary use on signage and in local writing, I would consider Wideopen to prevail. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 00:52, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rename to "Pacific Franc" 

message: the Article states:
# September 21, 1949 to December 31, 1959 - Fixed exchange rate with the French franc at 1 XPF = 5.50 FRF
# January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1998 - Fixed exchange rate with the French franc at 1 XPF = 0.055 FRF (January 1, 1960: 100 'old' francs became 1 'new' franc)
# January 1, 1999 onward - Fixed exchange rate with the euro at 1,000 XPF = 8.38 euro (January 1, 1999: euro replaced FRF at the rate of 6.55957 FRF for 1 euro)
I have doubts with 1960-1998... Shouldn't that be 550 FRF? Now 1 old (XPF?) franc == 100 new, contradicting the explanation. Also, the EUR exchange doesn't make sense now at all, if the rates have been fixed all the time. effeietsanders 23:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Salty dog

message: 'Salty Dog' also has an older sexual meaning in US folklore and song.  See, for example, the traditional song 'Salty Dog Blues' (where the lyric "let me be your salty dog" translates to let me be your sexual partner).  It also means ornery, as in the T-Bone Walker tune "Ain't Salty No More."
Does anyone know its derivation? It seems to carry a range of connotations from 'male cuckold' to 'stud'
The term comes from the term "sea dog," or a horny sailer.

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
----
:1Up.com →  – This move was previously discussed here because the 1Up Network was merged to 1Up.com in order to preserve its edit history.
I would like 1Up.com to be moved to 1Up Network because 1Up.com is simply the website for the 1Up Network. GameDeveloper.com appears to use 1Up Network and 1Up.com interchangeably and I can't find any sources indicating that they are separate entities. The staff page for 1up.com (here) says, "ever wonder who the people are behind the sites and magazines you love? Here's the 1UP Network Staff Page, where you can find and meet all the people responsible for creating and running all of our 1UP network properties." The fact that the staff page of the website calls itself the 1Up Network indicates to me that 1Up.com is the URL for the 1Up Network. I don't know of any other examples where a Wikipedia page for a podcast network is the URL for the podcast network. For instance, crooked.com redirects to Crooked Media, maximumfun.org redirects to Maximum Fun, iheart.com redirects to iHeartRadio, earwolf.com redirects to Earwolf, gimletmedia.com redirects to Gimlet Media, wondery.com redirects to Wondery, and qcodemedia.com redirects to QCode.

Agreed.  That line either needs to be reworded or it needs to be justified, if it isn't omitted entirely.  He played on all of the Smiths' records, if I'm not mistaken.  Page was a session musician before joining Led Zeppelin, for example, playing for the Kinks on "You Really Got Me."  That's obviously a lot different than playing on every song for a band.
