Talk:Sheng ji

message: Hi. I checked this page because my Chinese friends play this bewildering game, and it's time I learned to play it as well.
I wonder - does anyone know anything about the origins of the game, and when Chinese people started devising card games using the Western deck. Regards, Notreallydavid 15:59, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This is very messy. There are too many games listed here, all listed under a name that may not be very relevant to the original game (80 points) itself. I suggest a comprehensive listing of name meanings, and a split of articles: for Bashi Fen, only the original game will be listed, with additional sections on rule variations (minor rule changes, but still called 80 points) and game variations (similarly related games, such as Tractor or Sheng Ji that use two decks). The simpler version, 40 points, will then be listed on a separate page. See these pages for reference:  . NoNews! 11:16, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed separation of games 

message: The rule as currently stated is misleading to the point of being incorrect. The current page reads "For double cards lead, other players must also follow suit with double cards, if they have; for players who do not have double cards in the suit lead, they may either play separate cards in the same suit, any two cards from other suits, or a double from the trump suit to ruff the trick." This rule is at odds with the same rule described on the external link by McLeod, John.
This important difference completely changes the game play of double cards. The rule should read "When double cards are led, players must follow if possible with doubles of the same suit. This includes double trump card leads, where players must follow with double trump cards if possible. Otherwise, players must follow with two single cards of the suit led, or play their last remaining card of the suit led and any card of their choice. Only when a player is void of the suit led, can any two cards be played, including double trump cards if the player chooses. The trick is won by the highest value double trump cards to be first played, or if no double trumps are played, the highest value double cards of the suit led."
Although this description is much longer, it is required to represent the rule accurately. I will make this change to the page if there are no objections.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khyven (talk • contribs) 04:20, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Ciarán of Clonmacnoise

message: 545 + 1 ≠ 544. And yet that's the date currently offered by your source. So:
    (a) if the CathEnc is just wrong here, replace the cite (and maybe  given its ubiquity as a source for pages like this  even include a footnote explaining the research that shows that they're wrong; or
    (b) don't treat the dates this way. Yeah, the life span in the lede has some circas added in but then the article proceeds to date the years exactly. If there's no basis for those years, say so and give a range. If there is a basis for those years, remove the incorrect circas and explain why scholars think the CathEnc account is wrong now. — LlywelynII 22:55, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: DOD

message: If the source says "plague", you can't just add "yellow" to it for no reason  especially if you're then going to link to the wrong "yellow plague". The Irish "yellow plague" was relapsing fever, not yellow fever, and the Welsh "yellow plague" that killed Maelgwn Gwynedd around this time (albeit usually dated along with Phillimore to 547) was possibly neither of them.
It's worth mentioning that Justinian's Plague arrived in Britain around this time; although (at least) the B text of the Welsh Chronicles says the "Great Death" and the "Yellow Fever" were separate outbreaks in the same year. (They put it 516 entries after the birth of Christ, but Phillimore's date is probably closer.)  — LlywelynII 22:55, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Rake Free

message: "Rake free" cardrooms are not a notable enough phenomenon to warrant an entire article, and the subject can easily be covered in the article about the Rake (poker). Also, the addition of specific rake free cardrooms online is inappropriate since it's just an attempt to drive traffic to those sites. (We could just as easily make a list of online casinos who offer signup bonuses in the online casino article, but that would clearly be inappropriate too since there are so many of them.)

message: Thanks to  for his work on this article, which I enjoyed reading this morning.  As there's a picture request above, I thought I'd try to fill that and so popped over to Westminster Abbey.  I've been inside there several times for free but today it was in tourist mode and it would have cost about £50 for the two of us to get in.  This seemed a bit much for a quick photo of something which is easy to view online.  So, we moved on to Chinatown and spent the money on some wonton noodle soup instead.  I'll try again another day when attending a service – the Sunday organ recitals are good.

Talk:Hyde railway disaster

message: Attempts are being made by  to add an Otago Daily Times news item about an author who has cast doubt on whether the driver was intoxicated and whether the train was speeding. The edits cast doubt on the official inquiry findings. OK, so there may have been a deferment of maintenance due to wartime shortages, but so what? Track maintenance was not shown to be a contributing cause. The outcome of the official inquiry was that the driver was speeding due to intoxication, and he served a jail term as a result. I have no objection to the book being listed in the Bibliography section with a brief note that the author casts doubt on the official version of events; what I do object to is the presentation of opinions to that effect in the main body of the text. I have no known connection with the tragedy, its victims, their relatives, any member of the train crew, or the members of the board of inquiry. Akld guy (talk) 22:18, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there, I have no connection either with any of this, however I visited the site recently. The Otago Daily Times is a highly reputable newspaper. I felt that its reportage deserved to be included. Please note that I did not personally endorse either the view that the driver was criminally responsible or that he was innocent. The driver himself never touched alcohol for the rest of his life, which does indicate that he himself considered alcohol played a part in impairing his judgement. You seem to be suggesting by "attempts are being made" that I agree with one side of this dispute. I have no interest in anything other than objective presentation of research into the matter. Please be sure of that. Perhaps this might open a new subject regarding the value of research many many years after such a tragedy. Please come back to me with a preferred editing of the presentation of this research. I also heard from a local that the train was delayed and there may have been some pressure on the driver to get passengers to a race meeting, but I did not include that as it was not published in any reputable newspaper and may have been seen to be trying to persuade readers one way or another. In good faith. (Owen Slatraigh (talk) 23:26, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

They no longer do this service, I am sorry to say, but as I understand it, members are free to go in person and do their own research.
