Talk:Mission County, California

message: I have been researching the various California county secession movements including this one, and have found precious little information on them on the internet, with the exception of this one. If any local area residents or anyone else knowledgable on the county secession movement has any additional information, feel free to add to this article. That's why I started it. I'm surprised there was no previous article. --Larry G 19:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Remove cleanup tag? 

message: According to the Internet Radio article, KPIG would not be the first Internet radio station.  That honor would be claimed by WXYC, Chapel Hill, NC, as per the following snip from the Internet radio article.
:WXYC (89.3FM Chapel Hill, NC USA) was the first radio station to announce broadcasting on the Internet on November 7, 1994. WXYC used an FM radio connected to a system at SunSite, later known as Ibiblio, running CU-SeeMe. WXYC had begun test broadcasts and bandwidth testing as early as August, 1994. WREK (91.1FM, Atlanta, GA USA) also claims to have started streaming on November 7, using their own custom software called CyberRadio1, although the stream was not advertised until a later date.
The source material from the station's website appears to be the problem.  Once I can verify the WXYC date, I will modify the article appropriately. KC9CQJ 21:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Freedom, California]] 

message: Radio-info.com is reporting  that KPIG-AM has been LMA'ed to a group to broadcast programming targeted at the Mandarin Chinese community in San Francisco.  Mapleton was seized by its creditors a few months ago - the parents of the man who runs Mapleton are making moves to generate more revenue.  
This highlights why it is a really bad idea to merge simulcast partners into a single article unless they have no independent history.  If the KPIG programming format is noteworthy, that should be an article by itself, and then the station articles link to the format.  Good luck cleaning up the mess.69.37.68.72 (talk) 15:56, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

* The transliteration used on the web site of the mongolian parliament is irrelevant to Wikipedia.
* Mongolian_language#Writing_system is not a policy statement, and it doesn't even say where the listed transliteration is taken from.
* There is currently no formal Wikipedia policy on the transliteration of Mongolian language names.
Some time ago, I have tried to initiate discussion about a possible policy, but progress has been slow (only two people actually contributing). 
If you think you have good arguments one way or the other, then you might join the relevant discussion. There are a large number of articles waiting to be renamed to a final consistent transliteration, but first we need consensus on an actual policy. --Latebird 13:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a question of Wikipedia policy, please state the rationale for your arguments here. --Latebird 06:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily.  As I stated above, it depends on if khural is considered an English word or not.  Words such as ruble, tsar, or babushka would not need to follow a transliteration scheme because they can be considered English.  Is khural the same?  I generally support "H" for "Х" but not if the "Kh" version is an established English form. AjaxSmack 18:20, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Otto Robert Frisch

message: Fixed a factual detail.  Surviving letters between Hahn and Meitner confirm that Hahn could not explain the presence of barium.  In fact for four years leading scientists across Europe had been splitting the atom without realizing it, considering the products of fission to be chemical contaminations of their laboratory equipment.  Immediately before Meitner explained the phenomenon Hahn wrote to her stating he was certain that atoms could not split. Durova 20:48, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Plot cleanup 

message: I actually posted the same discussion in "Ice Princess", but I just want to tell that the same mistake people make when writing the article about figure skating films is that INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC FOR PROGRAMS IS NOT MANDATORY.I may still be a Freestyle 2 skater but I've seen other skaters, even the ones in Freestyle 10, use songs with people singing in them, wether it is pop or even hip hop. I just want to tell that so people (hopefully) won't make the same mistake again.
Hi,
I am in Freestyle 4. In the film " Go Figure " when Katlin performed to go to the Olypics she used words in her music. Normally you wouldn't use words in a program. Although, it is aloud. The perforance wouldn't pass nationals in real life, so they should had researched more on that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.111.148.112 (talk) 03:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I was doing some minor diction edits to this article, but I'm unsure what is meant by this: [the stadium] "can stage athletics". Since its primary use has already been stated to be football, I'm not clear on what this is meant to imply. Other sports? Track and field specifically?
:The stadium is an oval (olympic?) style stadium with a full sized track surrounding the field.  So basically it is an athletics/track and field stadium, similair in style to a summer olympics stadium.  However, it's actual main usage is for football matches.

Talk:Arab Socialist Union

message: Throughout much of there history, these weren't exactly separate parties. As it says in there articles, they were regional branches of a single party. In the 1960s, they were the nucleus of the Unified Political Command which attempted to form a new United Arab Republic and of the Federation of Arab Republics project in the 1970s. In addition to that, these articles are not very big and have an insufficient number of sources making a merge all the more necessary.

Talk:Battle of Cuito Cuanavale

message: The chart and list of military hardware in the equipment section is uncited and unnecessary. Some of it also appears to be blatantly inaccurate, as well; for instance, there is no proof that FAPLA deployed Engesa trucks and BTR-40/152 APCs anywhere near Cuito Cuanavale, or that the SADF utilised Eland armoured cars and Westland Wasp helicopters during Ops Moduler, Hooper, and Packer. Yes, this equipment was in their respective inventories at the time, but none of it was actually used in the battle. Elands were replaced by the Ratel-60 and Ratel-90 in all external ops after 1984, and I've found nothing to indicate Westland Wasps were ever flown over missions in Angola. All the FAPLA trucks photographed and documented during the campaign were GAZs or Urals, and the very elderly BTR-40/152 series went out of service in the early 1980s, being last spotted during Op Protea in 1981. These are two examples; I could name others - such as the Walther pistols and the minibuses - which are also uncited and appear to be the product of original research.
I say the chart and the equipment list must go, although a general summary of the equipment can be allowed to remain under that section header. --Katangais (talk) 04:05, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

message: Isn't "unité" closer to "united" than "unit"?  Therefore wouldn't the translation be something like United Habitation rather than Habitation Unit?

message: I've been reworking a lot of categories for alphabetical order.  Mainly, I've been doing a lot of category pages for genera of plants, that is, pages listing the species in some genus or another.  And I've been making good use of the fact that sort keys beginning with lower case letters appear in an alphabet following the alphabet for sort keys beginning with upper case letters.  I've been able to make a lot of the categories much more readable.
But just in the past couple of days, it all seems to have changed.  I've looked at a lot of my pages, and the entries with lower case sort keys are interfiled with the entries with upper case.
Is this a permanent change, or is it a temporary glitch?  I've heard some change is underway, and the glitches are happening.  72.83.149.28 (talk) 01:04, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
