Talk:Dave Atkins (musician)

message: Until this edit, the article used to be about a NFL football coach called Dave Atkins.  The correct way to create a new biography page for someone with the same name, would have been  to create Dave Atkins (musician) and either use  or create a disambiguation page.  It is only because in the intervening three weeks the musician page has been edited a dozen times and linked to nearly 20 other pages, that I didn't revert the whole thing right away.

Category talk:Women screenwriters

message: We definitely need an article about this -- even today women screenwriters appear to be in a distinct minority. The history of women writing for film & TV would be very interesting, as well as some statistics over time; discussion of relevant organizations that support women screenwriters; history of representation on awards; etc. I'll start thinking about it and gathering information for the article, but perhaps if someone else is more on the ball they can get started. --lquilter 13:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: I went through all the American, Canadian & British Screenwriters and added Women Screenwriters to all the Women.  However I am sure there are many left out there.  I also got a worms eye view of all the radically variant styles people are using and flagged a few stubs I intend to go back and work on.  I will probably cruise around WP and find some more women to add to the category.  Considering how many nonsense categories WP has already allowed deleting this one is absurd  - besides they would destroy all my hard work.  EraserGirl (talk) 00:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Alberni Mall

message: This article does have a number of refs.  But presently, the refs are all to a series of articles in one newspaper.  And it is a local newspaper a circulation of 3,500. And all articles relate to relatively mundane things that happen at all malls, no matter the level of notability ... the malls are created, have tenants, tenants leave, tenants join. The mall is quite small, by our standards of notability. I tagged the mall for notability, but the tag was removed.  I've also tagged portions of the article that are wholly uncited, per wp:v. --Epeefleche (talk) 07:11, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Tailcoat

message: There should be a reference somewhere to the particular development (certainly in the UK, possibly elsewhere) - I think around the turn of the 20th century - whereby a section of men who previously wore a black silk hat, morning coat and striped trousers replaced the hat with a black bowler and the coat with a short black coat (cut much as the coat of a lounge suit). 
(The silk hat would always be wrong with the short coat, and the bowler with the morning coat.)
This became something of a uniform for professional and upper clerical men, started dying out after WW2 (I think) but persisted as an eccentricity into the 1980s.  (I remember an accountant (born c1920) in the City of London around 1980 who dressed like this.)
Iconic TV characters wearing this uniform include Captain Mainwaring (Dad's Army) and Horace Rumpole (Rumpole of the Bailey).
(Rumpole's standard get-up substituted a battered Homburg for a bowler, though in at least one episode he tries a bowler (returning to the Homburg by the end).)

thread_title:  'Bank manager' black coat 

message: By this, I mean a suit made out of a single cloth, but cut in the form of a morning coat and striped trousers.
I believe that this style had its heyday in the later 19th century, was self-consciously raffish and tended to be made out of garishly patterned material.
I cannot find an example online - references to "morning coat suit" are incorrectly to the normal morning coat and striped trousers combination. But I do remember seeing an example years ago in C Willett Cunnington's Handbook of English Costume, either the 19th or the 20th century volume (no ebook version in Google Books, that I can see).

thread_title:  Morning coat suit 

message: Nowadays, only a white waistcoat is acceptable as part of a tradition tailcoat ensemble. It appears this wasn’t the case always, as can be seen in one of the illustrations in this very article, or in films from the early 20th century. Can anyone with knowledge of the background please add to the article? Thensellek (talk) 04:46, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: At least in Finland, white tie (frakki) with a black waistcoat is still worn for academic occasions before 6 p.m (doctoral promotions, formal lunches etc.). Maybe it was historically an alternative to morning dress (called šaketti in Finnish) so you could wear the same attire whole day and just quickly change your waistcoat before attending a dinner party or an opera in the evening.

Talk:Cavendish Mall

message: There's been some back and forth on this, thought it's worthwhile discussing. Currently the article lists 4 anchor tenants at Cavendish Mall: IGA, Staples, Cineplex Odeon Cinemas and Dollarama. I'm of the opinion that Dollarama should be excluded from that list. Even Shopper's Drugmart (aka Pharmaprix) isn't on the list of anchors.
An anchor is a store that people specifically make a trip to the mall for (and regularly), it's a main draw. The other stores are generally just visited because they happened be there, so why not drop in. I just don't see a pharmacy and dollar store as anchors (even at best, if they are, certainly not major anchors). What do others think? ----Apple2gs (talk) 23:17, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: On the note of anchor tenants, it has been officially announced Staples will be closing its Cavendish Mall store early next year (estimate from head office is March 2015). As it was built specifically for Staples and detached from the mall, it remains to be seen what will replace it. Likely the building will sit vacant or be demolished. We can remove it from the list of anchors in the next few months. Also considering removing Cineplex Odeon as an anchor. The theater remains closed all day, only opening in the evening (~7:00 PM), plus it doesn't draw as much movie goers as it in the past. At the very least, at this point, I'd downgrade it from a major anchor to a minor one, along side the dollar store and pharmacy.--Apple2gs (talk) 19:19, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Montreal Eaton Centre

message: Done and done.
An article on Les Terrasses, the previous incarnation of this mall, was recently created.  The Les Terrasses terrace should be merged with the history section of this article, as the Les Terrasses is short and unsourced, unlikely to ever be meaningfully expanded, and whatever information does exist is notable mainly to extent that it is relevant to the history of the Eaton Centre.

Talk:Evelyn Brent

message: Article says Evelyn Brent was born in 1901. But in career section, it says by 1941 she was 45.  That would make her five years older than her stated date of birth. (unsigned edit by User:208.127.20.150)
:Some sources say she was born 1899. I'm inclined to believe the earlier date, particularly with the very early career start. The claim is that she completed high school, commenced college, became a model, was employed as a movie extra, and then had her major motion picture debut all by the age of 14! It's likely she understated her age. On the other hand, even her tombstone says 1901. In any case, the statement does not require a specific age, so I removed it.

Talk:Train (clothing)

message: I think there is a connection between the modern day uses of the word TRAIN and historic, even Biblical use of the word.
Today we think of train in two basic ways:  train as in to instruct or discipline whether it is to train a soldier for combat or to train a plant to grow in a desired position.  We also commonly think of train as a series of cars pulled behind an engine (transportation.)  Less common with a strong historic root is the clothing train as is the long material flowing behind a wedding dress.  In the bible, the prophet Isaiah records a glorious sighting of God "high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple."
I think there is a common thought behind all of these definitions.  I think train originally train was used in the sense of teaching one's offspring to continue in the values, traditions and behaviour of the parents/community.  There was an extremely strong significance attached to this, lest the values be lost forever.  The idea of pulling something behind you is the idea of accumulating more and more people through time who carry on those values and  traditions, a train of people all following the same principles, going in the same way.  This is heritage;  this is legacy.  Hence, the longer the train, the more impactful and significant your heritage is. In the bible, the prophet Isaiah shares a glorious sighting of God when he records "In the year king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord. He was high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple."   I think the significance of this is that God Himself has a rich heritage of followers, namely the children of Israel at that time and subsequently all those who are followers of His in the faith.  I think the bride's train on her wedding dress is a propos of that, a marker of being fruitful and prosperous, not only of bearing children and continuing the family name, but of raising up a generation of those who uphold the good and shared values well.  Hence, I think the longer and more opulent the train was signifies the longer and more potent the family line is or the desire for it to be.
