Talk:Modern vehicles of the Irish Army

message: I'm not convinced all entries here are still up to date. For example, at least a handful of the Bandvagn 206 tracked vehicles were repurposed for use by Civil Defence (there's an example in Civil Defence livery at the depot on Wolfetone Quay). Are others still in army use? I'm also unsure whether the Aardvark and/or DOKING mine clearance systems are still in use - possibly replaced by MineWolf Systems(?)    Anyone got any insights on either? My old friend, any thoughts? Guliolopez (talk) 23:58, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:W. P. Kinsella

message: Is it really fair to say that Kinsella mainly writes about Canadian and First Nations issues?  I would say that to most of the public that he mainly writes about baseball, and that the bibliography would agree, as there seem to be more baseball books than First Nations and "Canadian issue" books combined (although admittedly some, like The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, could arguably be said to have addressed obth).

message: What is meant by NPOV disputed? Please cite examples.--GuyFromChicago 18:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: The Ravenswood neighborhood literally surrounds the Lincoln Square neighborhood, for which its community is actually named. Not only does this unacknowledged community make up most of the land mass comprising the Lincoln Square community, it also contains nearly a quarter of the neighboring Uptown community.
Ravenswood, which has its own Chamber of Commerce , and lends its name to three surrounding neighborhoods (Ravenswood Manor, Ravenswood Gardens and South East Ravenswood) was formed by a land company of the same name. Some of its partners are now well known street names like Kedzie, Wilson and Leland. The Chicago Transit Authority's Brown Line was originally named the Ravenswood Elevated (The "L") and until the 1940s, there was even a Ravenswood station at Wilson Avenue, which probably accounts for the small number of businesses in the middle of a residential area and also what was a Ravenswood hospital that looked more like an apartment building with a neon sign.

Talk:Bluebottle (character)

message: from The Goon Show cast members and characters
Bluebottle, young lecherous Boy Scout and idiot from Finchley. He is usually a playmate or companion of Eccles and can usually be persuaded to carry out any task, however dangerous, in return for a quarter of dolly mixtures. Bluebottle is always willing to help anyone, but normally is as bad at interpreting instructions as Eccles is and frequently ends up being "deaded" (killed), usually by a huge explosion.  The voice and character were inspired by an actual person, one Ruxton Hayward, a scout-master in full uniform with bushy beard, who tried to hire Peter Sellers to appear in a stage show.
It has been suggested that Bluebottle be merged with Ruxton Hayward.  I don't think they should be merged.  The article on Ruxton Hayward contains information irrelevant to the goons. Man with two legs 19:28, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I definately see what you're saying. I wouldn't mind some talk about how bonus rounds are typically played for bonus prizes, but some are played for the entire prize the contestant(s) win. I still think it's a "bonus" round, because the main gameplay of lingo is the head-to-head round, while the winner gets the "bonus round". Bonus could be seen as referring to bonus prize or money, but could also apply to the bonus of extra gameplay/an extra round. It's "debatable", as you say, but I still would think most people who watched Lingo would see that and consider it typical of a "bonus round" format, even if not truely for bonus prize. I can see Pyramid being a greater debate, since the "bonus round" itself determines the winner of each episode, though the round is still called the "winner's circle", implying that that winner gets the bonus of playing that round. I honestly don't think it's a distinction that needs to be made in terms of deleting shows that have that style, but I think a mention of it is quite fair is you want to add that. If so, Lingo should go on that list, now that you mention it. The article is really more about "endgames" as opposed to main games, but I think "bonus round" is more colloquial and better known as a term... TheHYPO 07:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
