message: The Collins Spanish Dictionary ... [is] derived from the Collins Word Web, an analytical linguistics database." --- The dictionary was first published in 1971. When was the analytical linguistics database introduced? Certainly not in the 70s. I've no doubt the book has been greatly revised since '71, but we need clarification on whether it is a complete rewrite. If not, it clearly doesn't "derive" from Collins Word Web.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.197.101.126 (talk) 06:07, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:A Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles

message: I propose merging Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles 2 (DCHP-2) into  Dictionary of Canadianisms on Historical Principles (DHCP-1, this article). These are closely related subjects.  DCHP-2 is basically an expanded, online version of DHCP-1. Both can easily be covered in the same article. 
DHCP-1was a 1967 book that was never updated by its publisher. When the publisher changed hands the new publisher started a project to release a new edition (~40 years after the original publication. There is an unsourced claim that the exercise eventually became a solely academic project. The DCHP-1 was first put online, and was then expanded and put online by the same group as the DHCP-2 (no paper version was published). Both online editions are hosted on the same site http://www.dchp.ca/ ; however, as of 4 May 2021 the software is being upgraded and both editions are available only as static screenshots.
Note that there was extensive COI editing of these articles. Meters (talk) 20:31, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

I'll do what I can, but I have no intention of taking ownership of this piece.  Please feel free to add to, subtract from, verify, criticize, or do whatever you would like to the work I've done.  宜しくね！ --jonny-mt 02:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ballydavid

message: This article has a "disambiguation" section at the end that does not follow any current DAB standard. If this section exists because users "might come here looking for Ballydavid in Cork, or Baile na nGall in Waterford", then the standard DAB practice should be applied. Namely, a DAB header should be added to the top that says:
:Baile na nGall and Ballydavid both redirect here. For other uses, see Baile na nGall (DAB) and Ballydavid (DAB)
Alternatively, this article should become a DAB page, and the detail about the Kerry Gaeltacht should be moved to Baile na nGall, County Kerry.
At the moment this article is BOTH a DAB page covering two separate terms, AND an article about a Gaeltacht region in Kerry. The standard is to make it one or the other. Not both. Guliolopez (talk) 17:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Monthly Index of Medical Specialities

message: I added the News Release tag to the article. Looking at the change history, it seems that a corporate representative gutted much of the old content in August/September 2012 and replaced it with bland copy from their Web site. There was some good info in the older revisions, including links to international versions, and a number of citations that have since vanished. The page needs to be rewritten from a more neutral POV, with appropriate citations restored or added.  Also, valid content that was scrubbed needs to be restored. Not sure if I have time to tackle this myself, hence the tagging and note here. Macoukji (talk) 18:29, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Note: This is my first effort at changing a Wikipedia entry. I didn't feel comfortable just editing the text, so I'm providing the following information. 
The article is incorrect when it says that Wigington "founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black militia established in 1918." There were Home Guard units throughout Minnesota (and other states) during WWI, citizen militias formed to protect cities and towns. The "Engines of Our Ingenuity" episode cited as the source for the Wikipedia entry says "...just after America entered WW-I, Wigington petitioned the Governor of Minnesota to form a black battalion of the Minnesota Home Guard." It does not say he founded the Home Guard, or that the Home Guard was an all-black militia. Also, if it was just after America entered WWI, it would likely have been in 1917, not 1918.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuflans (talk • contribs) 21:50, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Anthony Henday

message: Many historical sources largely ignore the presence of the French in North America before 1759, when the British defeated the French at the Plains of Abraham.  The early English explorers mention "French traders" and they mention the remnants of older forts sometimes deep within lands unexplored by the English.  After France ceded much of North America to the British in the Treaty of Paris in 1763, much of what remained in North America was destroyed by the French. Forts and documents were destroyed and likely wiped from history.Landroo (talk) 16:57, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm not entirely happy with this but the problem is that while I can see that it's cited as a reference in some scholarly papers, I can't tell to what length since all I'm getting are abstracts that I can't access from my school. I found two reviews, but other than that there is very little out there. I also can't tell if this is a textbook or not, as that makes a little difference in how it's used as a reference in other texts. In any case, I figure that a redirect is better than an outright deletion and given that there's not a lot of in-depth coverage of it, redirection is the best choice at this point in time.
