Talk:John Nevil Maskelyne

message: I found a United States Patent submitted by John N. Maskelyne dated December 28, 1880 (application filed July 26, 1880) Patent No. 236,053 for an Apparatus for Issuing and Registering Tickets. However I am unable to locate the patent on the US patent office site (there doesn't seem to be a way to go to a specific patent and a search for his name reveals nothing). --Bil Simser (talk) 13:57, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Correct. Another person with the same name (born 1892, died 1960) was a model railroad engineer who produced many drawings. Based on the dates on this page (http://www.slightlybetterbooks.com/jnmaskelyne.html) his grandfather was John Nevil Maskelyne, the subject of this article. --Bil Simser (talk) 13:43, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Daewoo LeMans

message: I rewrote this section, and hope that no inadvertent liberties were taken:
:Daewoo used the fifth generation Opel Kadett/second generation Vauxhall Astra platform as a basis for the Daewoo Nexia. Before the Nexia/Cielo was introduced in 1995, Daewoo sold in the Australasian market the Daewoo 1.5i, which was a second generation Opel Kadett/Vauxhall Astra with only slight changes. The Cielo was a facelift of this model.
I found this slightly confusing; although the Opel Kadett article calls the 'Kadett D' (1979-84) the "fourth generation", it is listed as the "mk 5". The Nexia is transparently based on the 1984-91 model (Kadett E), specified in the article as "Mk 6"(!).
I guess this is down to some informality in how the generations are defined, but I think it makes more sense to specify the design name and the years it was produced. (Certainly, Google images search seems to confirm that this refers to the correct version).
Also, I think we can safely assume that "second generation Opel Kadett/Vauxhall Astra" meant "second generation Vauxhall Astra", since the second generation Kadett (however you specify it) is a much older car. :-/

message: Vehicles based on the 1984 Opel Kadett E have been in production for 30 years. Where does that place them in the rankings of overall production length? If there's a large percentage of the body shell carried over from the 1979 Kadett that would give it a 35 year history. The VW Beetle lasted 65 years, 1938 to 2003, dating from the first one with the classic Bug shape. Bizzybody (talk) 22:18, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Clatification 

message: I've removed the following sentence from the Etymology section:
These footpads also gave us the word padlock. Footpads had their own unique way of robbing travelers: they would steal from wooden crates and packages that were in wagons or strapped to packhorses while the drivers stopped at a roadside inn. To thwart this, locks were fitted with a removeable or hinged shackle to secure the crates from the thieving footpads. These devices became known as padlocks.
It was added in August 2020 alongside a corresponding edit on the padlock page. That edit was later reverted by another editor as unsupported by any dictionary definitions. I've searched several online dictionaries and agree with the editor who reverted: there's simply no evidence to connect the two words. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 08:17, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:John Scarne

message: Sorry if starting over is bad practice, but I thought it might help. The Tamburin reference doesn’t do anything for the article as it contains only a passing reference. I think it was correct to remove it in the first place. And I agree that a ref to Big Book would be much better as the sole source. But the main problem is that it talks around the controversy. It sounds almost like Scarne was doing everybody a favor by attacking Thorp. In fact, he was dead wrong in his calculations, his comments on counting, and his attacks and his credibility was seriously damaged. This is most likely why he later backtracked and claimed to originate the very method he earlier claimed was fraudulent. Don’t get me wrong. Scarne was indeed an established expert in gambling -- particularly non-casino. But he badly blew this one and it was at a critical turning point in casino gambling history. Thorp, OTOH, maintained a dignified silence in the face of Scarne's attacks Objective3000 (talk) 17:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:John Varley (painter)

message: Hello there,
I have been trying to edit the article and esp. expand the bibliography. There seems to be some confusion concerning J.V.'s own publications: after searching the "British Copac" (Joint Catalogue) it appears to me that he planned the  treatise on drawing to contain three parts, and what is currently mentioned in the article as a seperate treatise was one of the projected parts of the other; but catalogue entries, and details like dates and page numbers have not become clear to me. I am neither a (trained) art historian, nor British, so perhaps someone with expert knowledge could look into the matter and clear up this chapter.

thread_title:  Name of bay where Williams was killed changed 

message: This sentence in the article is wrong: "Mrs. Williams died 14 January 1842 at age 85." This person is actually *the mother* of John Williams' wife, Mary.
I do not agree that "Mrs. Williams" refers to John Williams' mother-in-law for the following sentence states: "She is buried with *their son Rev Samuel Tamatoa Williams, who was born in the New Hebrides*, at the old Cedar Circle in London's Abney Park Cemetery; *the name of her husband and the record of his death were placed on the most prominent side of the stone monument.*" Also, Williams' wife's maiden name was Chawner, not Williams, so her mother would probably be Mrs. Chawner, not Mrs. Williams. However, that date or age must surely be wrong since she would be nearly 40 years older than John Williams.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgaryellison (talk • contribs) 06:49, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Denny Lambert

message: 1. Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 
Upon reviewing the article, it is clear that all of the current information is relevant regards to Denny Lambert's life. The work outlines the sport he played (hockey), the position, the teams he's play for, the successes he's achieved during as well as following his NHL career. The article also includes his stats over the course of his career based on the various team he's played for as well as the level that he achieved those statistics at. Currently, their is no information that would leave me confused or distracted in regards to this topic. It is well laid out, easy to read and well organized. 
Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
Currently, I was not able to identify any biases in the article. The current information presented is neutral in nature and it seems as thought the writer has stuck to the facts and he or she has omitted any source of personal bias towards the subject matter.
Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
I think that the short comings of this article have to do with the lack of information in regards to him being an individual of First Nations heritage. I think that it is important for that information to be shared because it is something to be proud of. It also represents the nature of his success in my opinion more appropriately. Lastly, I think that information regarding his current career and current successes are important to include to give the reader a better picture of where he was, where he is now and where he is going.

thread_title: New England??

message: Panhas is a traditional dish from Cologne and the region around it (mostly to the north, following the lowland geography). From our position it is quite the misrepresentation to say it’s a Dutch dish that also exists in the Rhine land. Because Panhas definitely originated in our region, and Balkenbrij may have originated in the Dutch west of us but then it’s not the same thing. Merely a similar idea of poor people using up leftovers from butchering. It’s a bit like all this is based on hearsay (aka sources) by people who have never been here, let alone understood the culture beyond a tourist level. (Hint: The cultural divides here are by region (lower Rhine delta vs mountanous area around it), and by rivers (the east of the Rhine was not under Roman rule, of which there are cultural remains to this day). This means that the north of Cologne (plus a bit to Bonn) and the Dutch area to the west of us are culturally very close to us, while the gradients to British and Frisian culture grow when going to the north-west and north.) — 2A0A:A546:A9B0:1:178B:FBC6:D7CF:D857 (talk) 13:47, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
