message: Although not mentioned in the text, Vidor's solution to Taylor's murder was that Minter's mother, Charlotte Shelby, killed Taylor. Vidor was able to track Minter down in the '70s and interviewed her. Based on the published part of the interview, Minter at least believed her mother was guilty. CFLeon 22:55, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ben Williams (footballer, born 1982)

message: Most of the incoming wiki-links to this page are as a consequence of being on the Template:Carlisle United F.C. squad. I found only 10 independent links to this page, Ben Williams (referee) has 23 incoming links, Ben Williams (American football) has 4, Ben Ames Williams has 18, and Ben Williams (Family Affairs) has 4. Also, he plays football at the 3rd level of English football (Leage One despite its name is below the Championship which is below the Premiership).

thread_title: Wrong, unsourced length

message: The image captioned "InterCity 225 set in original InterCity livery" ( Class_91_Peterborough_-_late_1980_s.jpg ) does not actually show an InterCity 225 set. It shows a class 91 locomotive pulling a British Rail Mk3 coach, not a Mk4 (the body shape and bogies are different). This was probably a temporary set formed before Mk4 coaches were available in sufficient numbers. 
The British Rail Class 91 page however has two images that do show actual 225 formations in original livery ( Doncaster_Ron_Hann.jpg and Brclass91iclivery.jpg ). Maybe one of these should be used instead?
mallardtheduck (talk) 18:43, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Incorrect Image

message: The article keeps jumping around time wise, and in one case suggests the cancellation of the APT project in 1989 ("However, due to various factors including technical issues, the APT programme was curtailed during the summer of 1989") impacted BR's decision making, but later it's implied most technical decisions were made in the mid-1980s, and the next section makes it clear the train itself entered operations in 1989. (Also I can't find anything that confirms the "curtailing of the APT programme" in 1989, it's possible, the APT-P trains were withdrawn two years prior, but the APT article itself makes no mention it and the statement as written isn't sourced.)
Other articles both in Wikipedia and outside suggest anything from the IC225 being the next APT (the "APT-U" according to Advanced Passenger Train and some external websites, after the planned follow up to the APT-P, the APT-S was cancelled) while others seem to imply it is only tenuously linked, a trainset that was largely outsourced and built with the benefit of knowledge gained through the APT project. I have no idea, but it's clear Wikipedia isn't being consistent and the current version of the article looks like it's trying to weave a story that fits everything together but in the end avoids telling a story at all, bombarding the reader with random decisions and dates but not really linking these together.
Can someone who knows the subject maybe have a look over it and see if there's a way to write it in a way that makes everything clearer, including how it's linked to APT if it genuinely is?

message: Ahem, this article is slightly all based on "hearsay", Benedict is known for his ego-trips and also for relishing in his own intricate "flowery interpretations" of his expeditions.

replies: text: Whatever the merits of either side in this debate, what is unquestionably true is that the article is entirely without reliable, independent sources at the moment - it contains lists of Allen's own books and television appearances, none of which are supported by a) full bibliographical details (though we can agree the books do exist) or b) independent reviews of any of the books or television appearances.

message: I looked up "Condominium" because I wanted to see the details on how it differs with from a "Townhouse".  If the "Condominium" article did not exist, I'm afraid I would not be smart enough to know to look up "Housing equity partnership".  As a user, I feel the purpose here is to offer knowledge to a person like me.  If the merge happens, I would definitely need a redirect from "Condominium" to "Housing equity partnership".
No Merge - Agree with the above point.  Also, in Australia HEPs do not exist, the terms of this are quite different to what is defined as a strata title, in both a legal and colloquial usage sense.  The difference is enough to warrant a seperate article.
