Talk:Amelia Peabody

message: I've been considering for some time separating the series article from that for Amelia herself, as in Amelia Peabody series or Amelia Peabody mysteries. Any thoughts? ♥ Her Pegship♥ 18:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not a bad idea - there's a bit more that could be added in an article on the series itself - real life inspirations for the characters, background on some of the digs and who really did them, etc.  I like "series" better than "mysteries," but that's just a personal thing ...

thread_title:  Time to split? 

message: The reference to American English is to indicate how the phonetics would be pronounced by an American English speaker, not to indicate that Amelia and Emerson would have pronounced "Peabody" as an American would.  (I don't know the phonetic alphabet and am therefore unable to "standardize" the phonetic reference).  
Some of the subsequent edits suggest that this isn't made clear - perhaps someone can either help out with the phrasing, or include the IPA version of the name as Peters says it should be pronounced?

message: I can't find any mention of this character being a writer of any kind in the article. I assume she is since she was added to the category (originally to Fictional authors), but the article have to say so explicitly if it is to remain IMHO (the categorisation guidelines says that if you reach an article from a category it should be obvious why the article was listed there. Currently that does not seem to be the case). --Sherool 30 June 2005 12:14 (UTC)

Talk:Holy Ghost

message: Please undo this and restore a link to Holy Spirit. The point of the "Holy Ghost" article was about the term itself and how some Mormon and Pentecostal groups especially only use this archaic term, and how "ghost" used to mean "spirit" rather than merely "apparition".  This is a disservice, even if a well-intentioned one.

thread_title: Recent revert

message: The epidemic typhus caused by body lice was one of the main reasons for this sentence in the lead: "Napoleon lost half of the men because of the extreme weather conditions, disease and hunger". It was not arbitrarily added but in sync with the caption within the infobox: "Napoleon's soldiers enter Russia and have to fight * "against body lice causing epidemic typhus" * against heat, thirst and diphteria * against hunger and dysentery * against the Russian army at Smolensk * against Kutuzov at Borodino * against arsonists in Moscow * against the cold * against the Cossacks * against the freezing water of the Berezina. * Napoleon abandons his army * but Ney saves the remaining soldiers." My comment for the previous change was: "
‎As the old collage within the infobox showed the wrong interpretation that General Winter defeated Napoleon, the new collage shows the diseases, the heat and the cold". Now the multiple images template is out of sync. I suggest to take back your last change or find and add a better picture for epidemic typhus.

(The login-screen on the other hand reads 'EVE - the second genesis', but still...) The reason why I don't just do the redirect is because the two introductory texts differ and I don't want to just delete one of them... I'd go for the one of the EVE Online version.

Talk:Merchant aircraft carrier

message: The article states that there were no losses to convoys that contained MAC ships.  The combined ONS 18/ON 202 convoys lost 6 ships and 3 escorts despite having Empire MacAlpine with them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinius (talk • contribs) 20:02, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Convoys ONS 18/ON 202 

message: This article hasn't been edited for quite a while so I've embarked on a fairly substantial update.  All the points made above are valid and will be incorporated.
1.  The main image has been changed to one of the Anglo-Saxon tanker MACs which is already on Wikipedia.  I'm investigating the copyright status of a better image that I have.
2.  The references to Hurricanes and other aircraft are probably confused between MACs and CAM ships.  Swordfish were the only aircraft flown operationally from MACs although there was a trial landing of a Martlet fighter in Oct 1943 while assessing MACs' suitability for service in the Pacific. 
3.  The claim about 'no losses' is a repeat of a line that various authors have lifted verbatim from the official Naval Staff History apparently without bothering to check if it was true or not (it's not!). There were losses not only from ONS 18/ON 202 as stated above, but at least two other convoys escorted by MACs.

Category talk:Celebrity

message: I'm wondering what the purpose of this category is.  I would think that any person who is worthy of being written about on Wikipedia is a celebrity (in some sense of the word).
In any case, the single word 'Celebrities' seems too vague to describe a class of people.  If it is meant in familiar sense of people who get written about in tabloids, for instance, then that should be more clearly expressed in the category title. --Saforrest 17:41, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)
I wonder who created the category "Spouses of Israeli politicians" and why, or "Agoraphobic Celebrities". Why not Arachnophobic any all other phobias? -- Guest (July 28, 2006)
Words  such as "famous" (FAME ???) and "worthy" are  not  applicable in the  definition of "Celebrities." The  best  definition  is that of Dr. Irvine Page:  " A celebrity is a  person  who is usually  seen  in the  presence of 'celebrities' "!!!!

Talk:Timeline of liberal parties in the United Kingdom

message: 1681: The Whigs constituted themselves 
In what way did this take place? Also should we acknowledge the various Whig factions of the 18th Century?
The other problem that's going to cause fun is the question of the extra-parliamentary parties (and sometimes even the Lords). In the two splits between 1916 and the 1950s, local Liberal parties were more or less free to chose their candidate, but occassionally rival candidates would stand, either other Liberals or supporters/opponents of the coalition a group of Liberals were standing in. Sometimes local associations would declare themselves in a favour of a "reunited Liberal Party" and would run a candidate pledged to taht, regardless of whether such a united party existed in the House of Commons. Liberal associations often remained affiliated to the central federation - indeed Walter Runciman, a Liberal National Cabinet Minister from 1931 onwards, was still President of the National Liberal Federation in 1933-34 - not the easiest sign of a split.
Also Liberal peers in the Lords were sometimes more willing than their Commons counterparts to reunite, with the result that a united party existed in one chamber but not the other.
Now does anyone have any idea how we can incorporate this? Timrollpickering 20:58, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: The categories including the word 'Macedonian' may pertain to the Republic or to te region. There have been discussions on this topic in the articles, yet, regarding the cetgories, there is still a lot of confusion. (see e.g. the various reverts at :Category:Macedonian newspapers and Macedonia (newspaper). There should be unified guidelines in this respect. Most categories about the republic are labeled as such, but others are not. One possible guideline would be that 'Macedonian' as a qualifier in a category should always refer to the whole region. Imho the most sensible thing would be to have a double hierarchy of categories and to label categories confined to the Republic as such. Fore example the [:Category:Ethnic groups in Macedonia]] should be renamed to  :Category:Ethnic groups in the Republic of Macedonia or a category of that name should be created.
