Talk:John Kendrick (American sea captain)

thread_title:  Clean up 

message: I'm in the midst of greatly overhauling and expanding this page. Got a ways to go yet, but plugging away bit by bit. If it gets too long, which it probably already is, the "Columbia Expedition" part can be spun off into its own article and a much shorter summary version put here. I will probably try to do that myself at some point. A page about the Columbia Expedition (which perhaps could be better named), could be written in a way not quite as focused on just Kendrick but others as well, so it could perhaps serve for other related pages like Robert Gray (sea captain), Robert Haswell, Joseph Ingraham, Columbia Rediviva, Lady Washington, and many others. I'd like to make a map showing the routes Kendrick took (and perhaps Gray as well). I will try to do all these things over the next few months, but if I fail then this comment here might serve to remind me, or at least let others know what I was planning.

Talk:Chesterfield Islands

message: The list of shipwrecks suggests that the Chesterfield (1791 ship) that gave its name to Chesterfield Islands is also wrecked there. Is that true? The ship's own article says that it was captured by the Spanish in 1806, so it seems quite a coincidence it would have later have been brought half way round the world to sink on the same uninhabited islands that had been named after it a decade earlier.
The ship has been listed since 2007 and gives a book by Loney as a source, but I can't check it.

It is a different musical based on the same source materials.

Talk:Florida State Road 845

I have a proposal for this article. Look, so Jog Road redirects to this article. HOWEVER, this article only mentions SR 845, which is south of Jog Road. Jog Road itself is an extension (non designated) of SR 845. But Jog Road is MUCH longer than SR 845.

Talk:Florida State Road 820

message: It is true three large (covering several acres each) traffic circles intersect with Hollywood Boulevard, none are in Miramar, all three are in the city limits of Hollywood. The easternmost circle is Young Circle, named after Hollywood's founder: Joseph W. Young, the middle circle contains Hollywood's City Hall building and is called City Hall Circle and finally the westernmost circle, located in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood, used to be called Academy Circle because it contained the main buildings of the Riverside Military Academy ... these structures were demolished in the late twentieth century and replaced with glassy highrise office buildings.
:Another thing: the stretch of Hollywood Blvd. east from Young Circle to Ocean Drive (Highway A1A) is exceptionally wide and planted with tall stately Royal Palms on either side, giving the boulevard an especially grand and beautiful appearence.

message: This article needs to be completely revised.  Not the SR-518 article but the SR-5054 article (if there is one).  I clicked on a link for SR-5054 and it redirected me to SR-518, which is incorrect.  SR-5054 is a separate road from SR-518.  SR-5054, which is unsigned, is Sarno Road in Melbourne.  It runs from its junction with Eau Gallie Boulevard to US-1/SR-5 (Harbor City Boulevard), approximately 7-1/2 miles.
Someone needs to change the SR-5054 page from being redirected to SR-518 so it can be edited or written.  As I drive this road almost every day, I can do the writing if necessary.

message: Regarding this one sentence here;
"The northern half of the road lost its two-lane freeway qualities when an at-grade intersection was built just south of SR 405, providing a southern exit to Florida's Spaceport Industrial Park and Space Coast Regional Airport."
I just checked Historic Aerials Online, and it shows topographical maps as recently as 1988 which don't show that intersection, but Aerial maps that do show it, but only going back to 1999. So there's an eleven year range for the possible date of the introduction of the intersection with Shepard Drive. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  03:14, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

If the blazon is correct then the image is not. My french is not the best but, it would appear that the castle is argent, not or. Also it looks as though there are more to the castle then just three towers of the same tincture.
Furthermore, I found in the armorial list of the Communes of Nord this blazon attached to Le Cateau-Cambrésis.
*"D'azur au château d'argent, sommé de trois tourelles du même."

Raquel Welch took over the least role of Victoria Grant from Julie Andrews June 10, but box office income fell below half of its potential at capacity. Nevertheless, Variety reported that Welch is being considered for a national tour of the show."

If Ms. Welch's cross-dressing star turn in Victor/Victoria makes a dramatic point, it is that onstage, man does not live by threads alone.

message: The etymology given is vey misleading. Kalamkari is a loan from Persian qalam-kārī (). A Persian qalam-kār is a 'penman' or 'painter', while Persian qalam-kārī means 'writing', 'painting'. It's also the Persian term for kalamkari fabric. Qalam is a Persian loanword into Kanada, and probably kari is too, but the whole word qalam-kārī appears first in Persian and was not created in Kanada.
