Talk:WSBG

message: Stale, stagnant music brought forth by an absentee and lazy Program Director (Bill Sheridan), and a lack of interest from the parent company (Nassau Broadcasting) in maintaining facilities and treating personnel properly.
These unfortunate events have led to a massive erosion in revenues and listener base, and hopefully will force Nassau to sell the stations to someone who can do a better job... This trend is evident at sister stations (WODE,WEEX, WVPO and WWYY) as well, with all stations dropping ratings and listeners as well as revenue. This effect could be called the "Sockless" effect in honor of the Program Director who has allowed this to happen. There are rumors of sales to several outside parties at the moment, so there perhaps is some hope for this once great Poconos radio station.

However, Sharpington's wooden plaque has been replaced. The current plaque, although very similar in layout to Sharpington's wooden one, does not say that. (Sharpington often worked in paint and wood, which is a blow for posterity, because it meant a lot of his beautiful work only survives in photographs.)

Talk:Thomas Fuller (mental calculator)

message: "[…] Second, when they asked how many seconds a man has lived who is 70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old, he answered in a minute and a half 2,210,500,800. One of the men was working out the problems on paper, and informed Fuller that he was wrong, because the answer was much smaller. Fuller hastily replied, "'Top, massa, you forget de leap year." When the leap year was added in, the sums matched.[3] […]"
The information above is in correct
70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old, ≠ 2,210,500,800.
but = to [70(365x24h+6h)+(17x24h)+ 12]60²= 2 210 544 000
Note this is only correct for 70 years, 17 days = 2,210,500,800.
check this [70(365x24h+6h)+(17x24h)]60²= 2 210 500 800
note 70 years multiply by (356 days in a year multiply by 24 hours of a day plus 6 hour for leap year as it is a 1/4 day) then + 17 days multiply by 24 hours of a day + 12 hours all multiplied by 60 minutes x 60 seconds.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Udjat (talk • contribs) 18:43, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Indeed, when the Pandora arrived at Tahiti and Heywood learned that Hayward was aboard he was happy that he had a friend aboard.

Talk:East Frisian Low Saxon

message: I'd like to know the source of this classification:
 There are several dialects in Eastern Friesland Low Saxon:
 *Standard East Frisian Low Saxon north of Leer, east of the river Ems;
 *Brookmer Platt in the Brookmerland and Aurich (Auerk) area; and
 *Rheiderländer Platt west of the river Ems around the city of Weener.
In my opinion there is no "Standard East Frisian Low Saxon". Of course there is a Brookmer Platt and a Rheiderländer Platt (which maybe is a little bit strange for people from Aurich), but there are dialects e.g. from the Norderland, the Harlingerland, Fehntjer Platt and so on, too. And the Platt of Leer isn't standard. If you want to divide into different dialect groups it would be more helpful if ALL the dialects are shown or just the "normal" East Frisian dialects and the Harlinger variation, which has more influence from the Oldenburgerland. 
For example: Most East Frisians "proten Platt" ("...speak Platt"), but the Harlinger East Frisians "snackt Platt. 141.88.229.210 14:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Dialects

message: The ISO code is confirmed to be for the German lect.  However, there's some mixup in the E17 description and it's not clear if the population figure is for that or for Frisian.  — kwami (talk) 21:21, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  ISO 

message: There is a lot of unproven and uncited information in this article which may or may not be true. I assume that a lot of it really is popular theory and OR.
For instance, I'd like to see some evidence for the claim that the greeting "Moin" has its origins in East Frisia and has spread from there to the whole of northern Germany. Neither the English nor the German article on Moin know any of this. On the contrary, according to the German article the earliest evidence of this word is to be found in Berlin.
There is also an issue with the first external reference. It's supposed to support the number of native speakers (230,000 in East Frisia, 3,000 in other countries - which, BTW, raises the fairly obvious question if there are no native speakers in Germany outside of East Frisia). The link however has no such numbers, and the numbers given there (2000) plus calling the language "moribund" can really refer to something like Saterfriesisch only.
Also, I'd like to understand why the article uses "Low Saxon" instead of "Low German" for "Plattdütsch". Low Saxon simply is a disambiguation page, and even Low Saxon languages redirects to Low German. --93.212.228.146 (talk) 17:34, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
