Talk:Ringdown

message: How does this fit in? I work at a telco where, until 1986, we still had an exchange that did not have direct distance dialing. The operators in Fort Nelson had to connect the circuit manually to that community, but locally, four-digit numbers were in use. The community, Muncho Lake, was referred to as a "ringdown" location. Presumably, the Fort Nelson operators plugged into the Muncho Lake exchange at a cordboard, then signaled the four-digit number, it rang automatically (a Rurax automatic was in place), then the operator connected the caller when it answered. A Muncho Lake customer would dial 0 to call long distance, and presumably the exchange signaled a circuit that blinked on the cordboard in Fort Nelson.
Up to 1983, several other locations were handled the same way: Prophet River, Toad River, Coal River (all in BC), Port Radium (in the NWT) until 1982, Fort Liard (NWT) until Oct 1981, and before the spring of 1980, most small communities in the Yukon, NWT and northern BC.

message: The stub consisted mostly of a great deal of copied text from About.com. Thus, I've tried to rewrite it and expand it. If anyone can fill out missing dates, details, links, or sources, please go for it. However, I think this should now classify as having "start" status. It still lacks a photo and standard organization for a musician's page so maybe that's as high as it can be classidied, but as this is not a mainstream artist, perhaps the standards are different.

Talk:Program for the Exceptionally Gifted

message: I disagree that this article was a pure vanity page, as the program is noteworthy.

thread_title: Giftedness

message: I'm surprised to see PEG has an entry at all, and can't think why it shouldn't. I graduated from the program and find the information perfectly accurate. The program's chief importance is that it's located at a women's college, so it specially serves gifted young women. While the SAT certainly isn't a definitive indicator of anything, I guess PEG has to use some tool to reach out to possible students. Having known many PEG students, however, I can guarantee that the entry has every relevance to giftedness, not just achievement. 71.168.34.181 (talk) 02:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This has no references, includes a link to the application form for the program, and reads like copy/paste from some recruitment brochure.  I've tagged it as an advert, and if no one is able to rewrite it from a NPOV with some references, I think it should be tagged for speedy deletion.  If this program is indeed notable, one would think that some references to it in the literature could be found (and they may be findable, but I'm not the one to look for them).

I would like to a source to verify the article's take on the Nesivos's popularity (ie, it being criticised in the Ketzos).  DavidCharlesII 21:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: A previous version describes him as an "Orthodox Rabbi" and an opponent of Reform Judaism, which I think distorts history somewhat, because in this part of Prussia, annexed from Poland in 1793, the conflict was with the maskilim, who were not necessarily Reform Jews. Some maskilim later became Reform Jews, but that development takes place years later. The rabbinical conferences which created German Reform Judaism in the 1840s occurred more than ten years after Yaakov Lorberbaum passed away. The previous version was reading history backwards. A previous author appears to have used an introduction to Lorberbaum's commentary on the Haggadah written by Rabbi Greenspan, which is online in English. I've added a reference. Rabbi Greenspan's source appears to be a later version of the Jewish Encyclopedia (not in the public domain), an article by Ephraim Kupfer. --Metzenberg 07:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
