Talk:1973–1974 stock market crash

message: Could we have sections identifying likely causes (collapse of the Bretton Woods system ? why/how?, oil price rise ?, US politics ?) and claimed consequences ?  Were the stock market crashes due to fears of recession ?  Rod57 (talk) 00:57, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Causes and effects 

message: The linked Time article seems to refer to 1972, not 1973, as a "gilt-edged year for the stock market," and does not use the phrase "shaping up". The language used in this entry creates the misleading impression that Time was presenting a forward-looking, rather than a backward-looking view. While the brokers referred to in the article do appear to have a positive outlook, an third-party opinion that appears in a story is not the same as an opinion of that story's author or publisher.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.156.153.4 (talk) 16:31, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Alliance & Leicester

message: A careful look at the public records of the old Girobank, their archives including their accounts for that period, show that A&L did not so much take over Girobank as they took over A&L.  Girobank had just had a bumper year on its business banking side and was flush with cash, whereas A&L was in deep trouble because of a lot of bad debts from lending to businesses.  The merger was arranged so Girobank's funds could keep A&L afloat. Harryf200 (talk) 22:18, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Girobank

message: How can the Alliance and Leicester be formed in 1997 by the flotation of the former Alliance & Leicester? It may have changed it's status, but it existed long before 1997. Unfortunately, this Wikipedia page looks exactly like an advert, trying to hide or dissasociate itself from any former existance.  
: I think its OK to talk about its current plc status first and then its history but I agree with you to an extent.  I am sure that could be better worded. Feel free to create a history section and remove the more egregious promotion if you think its there! There is no reason not to talk about the history of the Building Society here if you have information to add.I suspect the company has a history page somewhere on its web site. --Tom 18:08, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Christian Lee (footballer)

message: i've added the cleanup tag to this article. i've never heard of this guy, i came here from the male models category. anyways, i read the whole page and decided on the clean up. it's a negative article, to be honest. there's quotes from random fans of football clubs he's played for - these shouldn't be used as they are OPINIONS of this guy, and may not necessarily be the truth.
i didn't think wikipedia used opinions? it's not neutral at all. one of the quotes comes from someone's dad! the references are fanzines etc, and these can hardly be classed as neutral.
this page is like me making a page about a neighbour i don't like...
i went with cleanup rather than delete. however you can change this if you feel there is a more relevant tag than clean up.

thread_title:  Men's? 

message: The photo is labeled `A woman wearing "pedal pusher" pants, 1942"'. It links to "Girl worker at lunch also absorbing California sunshine, Douglas Aircraft Company, Long Beach, Calif. (LOC) (2179923542).jpg"
She is wearing 1942-style, long, loose trousers that she's pulled up over her calves, apparently to absorb California sunshine. Her trousers, when let down, are loose enough that would easily become entangled with a bicycle chain. She's not wearing pedal pushers.
Pedal pushers are not loose and, when fully extended, are still short enough that they will clear bicycle chains.
I recommend that this picture be removed and replaced with a correct one. (Sorry, I don't have one that meets Wikipedia photo guidelines.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddrane (talk • contribs) 19:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The timeline continues to be inconsistent in respect to the types of items listed. I have spent time working on improving the Formal Prosecutions section today, based on information available in Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt, but much more work needs to be done, especially with the section on accusations and examinations because those continued into the time that the prosecutions took place, and it currently looks like the accusations stopped when the prosecutions began.

thread_title:  Reference/Verifiability - Almost Every Mall in America? 

message: It appears to me there are a number of remarks about fleeting mass-culture and styles when these brands of Weyco including Florsheim, Nunn Bush and Stacey Adams were built on classic styles and thrive on them apparently to this day. It is a bit strange in my opinion to allude that shifts to trendy styles or lack thereof resulted in issues unless referenced. Classic styles are clearly desired today by both young and old, and it appears all three brands under Weyco have realized this as it appears to me they have held on to their most timeless classic shapes. The finest most intelligent and sophisticated men's style blogs and sites surely support classics and timeless footwear. My point? It appears to me there is an unjustified language emphasis on new or trendy or mass-popularity and that is IMHO not what I see in reality or in the press or on the site or sites, so such language repeated is I think both limiting and not encyclopedic without substantial references that those types of styles are big sellers for any brand.  I see slight mention in the New York Times article toward trend or updating that I have to admit made me cringe yet by what I am reading in the articles it makes me wonder if PR people are involved. Frankly, regardless of brand today, the language push to trendy or younger or age-group (IMHO all three groups are not often ready, willing and able buyers) I find odd and if it is put in or out there I feel should include strong encyclopedic references to support it.  33L71488 (talk) 17:26, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

message: As everyone can find out for themselves when opening a UTF-8-encoded file with the latest version of ConTEXT, it does not properly display special characters like umlauts. Therefore, UTF-8 support is not working (even though that is claimed in the program's feature list) and I've removed that part from the WP article. I've tried ConTEXT because I needed UTF-8 support and read about it here. If you check out the forums for ConTEXT at http://forum.contexteditor.org/showthread.php?t=1997 you'll see that various people have experienced the same problem with French and Chinese characters. As somebody writes in the forum: This question used to come up a lot and if I remember Eden's (the original developer) answer correctly (you can search the original forum) there is a component used in ConTEXT that is fundamental and it does not support unicode.

Talk:Lydney Canal

message: Someone updated the article today to emphasise the depressing fact of the sea gates being broken and the harbour silted and out of use. This isn't my geographical area or my field at all so I can only go on what I see, but I do feel that an update is needed as there is apparently regeneration work, some complete and some still planned, including dredging and gate repair. In fact it all sounds rather wonderful and makes me want to visit! I think the project is or was called Destination Lydney Harbour and the consortium behind it is or was the Lydney Coastal Community Team. 
I don't know if I will get round to doing anything with all this or if I have the knowledge to try, but I hope someone will. Googling the above terms would get you some stuff but here are a couple of starters for reference:
*tourist info
*local government project page
*economic update PDF linked from the above page
*local press
*government navigation info ... makes it sound usable but is wildly out of dateclick to see its updates! (Like, there are effectively none since 2014.) Go figure.
