Talk:Eastern span replacement of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge

message: I am concerned the article does so little to emphasize the extremely inefficient use of taxpayer money on the bridge.  What could have been done for a few hundred million -make the bridge safe in all but very extreme earthquakes- was done for many billions.  The bridge has come t o be viewed by many as an example of fantastically wasteful spending.  
I believe much can be written about the waste and the politics - the contractors who wanted a major product, the politicians who gave it toe them, as essentially kickbacks for their political support, and so on.  This article should really highlight the scandal this project was. 
With interest, there were estimates of the bridge costing $17B - I guess over 30 years - I would need to do more research - I realize this is not a proposed edit, but is someone going to revert me if I do all the research and make an edit detailing this - interest rates were higher when the money was borrowed. 
I am just asking what people think of adding this topic in general.

thread_title: Split template

message: It seems to me a basic category error to subsume 'Sado Island' into the entry on Sado. Surely Sado Island should be the main page, perhaps with a redirect from 'Sado city'. Sado Island contains but is not contained by Sado city, which is merely a recent administrative term for what is still basically a rural island of disparate towns and villages.

Talk:Danish longball

message: I remember playing a game of this name in my British secondary school. It was played in the school gym, and was a cross between dodgeball and rounders. We used a football-sized foam ball, and the 'batter' used his hand to bat the ball. The aim of the game was to run to the other end of the hall without the ball being caught by a fielder, or being hit by the ball thrown by a fielder. If you ran to the end of the hall and immeadiately back, you scored a point; if you made your return run on another batter's run, you only scored half a point. I think only three batters were allowed to stay in the safe zone at the far end of the hall at any one time, if a fourth entered they would all be out. I wonder if anyone else knows anything about this game. --Gareth Hughes 16:00, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, thats how i remembered it, thank for jogging my memory. I dont remember if we played with our hands or with a bat when i was doing it.

message: It's called here a hybrid baseball-cricket game, that may erroneously suggest the game was influenced by those sports. Hakluyt bean (talk) 12:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the version we played in school either used a football of some description or a baseball style bat and a softball (and yes, this is in the UK.) We were told it was an Australian game, and the pitch was absolutely massive. If you were taken out, you started playing for the other side and the version with a softball had to be a "touch" based catch, you weren't allowed to throw the ball. It got progressively harder a more people got "out". The winning "team" was the one who got the most players across after 1 or two times at bat. I forget the finer points, but that was it more or less Memsom (talk) 17:18, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  In relation to other sports 

message: When I played this as a kid in Denmark (school, kindergarten, etc.) there was no rules about the ball hitting the ground in the field or not. At times the "field" was very loosely defined because it didn't really matter. What matters is the front and the back where you run.
I think it's an addition to the rules, perhaps to make it more interesting. It's a variation though.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.184.78.70 (talk) 14:59, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Genu varum

message: There needs to be some clarification of what exactly genu varum is.  In my training as an orthotist, I deal mostly with joints.  To me genu varum is when the knee is misaligned - ie if the lateral collateral ligament is torn, or the medial knee cartilage is arthritic and worn.  The femur and the tibia are (initially at least) perfectly sound.  But in a case of rickets or similar, the femur becomes curved but the knee is still correctly aligned.  These two pathologies have similar presentations but are completely different biomechanically (and require different treatments).  I think a section is required comparing these two cases (on the same page, as they are both technically genu varum). User:jcbolton1 March 18 2010  —Preceding undated comment added 12:37, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed the name for "genu varus" to "genu varum" not only as the article name but also in all the links. It's simple Latin grammar: genu is a neuter noun, so it must be accompanied by a neuter adjective. Varus is masculine (so it's used with masculine nouns, e.g. in cubitus varus), vara is feminine (so it's used with feminine nouns, e.g. in tibia vara), and varum is neuter (so it's used with neuter nouns, e.g. in genu varum). —Angr/talk 15:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: There

message: The sentence "The child lies on its nurse's knee with the soles of the feet facing one another; the tibia and femur are curved outwards;..." in the childhood section is a bit confusing to me. First, it seems to suggest that all children have nurses, who's knees they will lie on at some point, which is not true.  Maybe that was not what the author was trying to say but that they way I read it. This sentence should probably be rewritten so it is more clear as to what it is trying to say. If the idea was to describe what bowleggedness looks like in infants then something beginning with "If a  child is laid across a person's knee..." would do. --Cab88 11:47, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Floyd Vivino

message: As a minor correction The Uncle Floyd Show actually first aired on United Artists Columbia Cable of New Jersey on January 29,1974 then on WBTB-TV starting in November 1974. WBTB-TV was the successor to WWRO which went dark when it's owner Walter Reade Outdoor group went out of business, It was then bought by Ike Blonder and Ben Tongue who revived the station as WBTB, Floyd was able to convince station manager Robert Leach to give him a time slot and the rest as they say was history. By the way as a note several sources including the websites of cast member Mugsy incorrectly identify the station as WBTV which is obviously incorrect and I did speak to Mugsy a few years ago asking him to correct that which he apparently never did and unfortunately with Mugsy's recent death from Cancer it probably will now never be properly corrected.

thread_title: Language problem

message: After EmausBot deleted my manual linkage to Hiram's Spanish article yesterday, I almost fired off a nasty message to his master. But I thought I would take a stab at making Wikipedia's automatic language linkage system work before starting anything. So I went to the Spanish page, clicked on "editar los enlaces" on the left, saw that there wasn't any information on a Spanish article, then inserted that info. Voilà, suddenly the English and Portuguese pages both had links to the Spanish page!
So today's edit consists of removing the comment lines surrounding the language entry which I didn't want anybody to delete, but which EmausBot deleted anyway. I just made a similar change to Hiram's Portuguese page. DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 01:02, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

message: When an ipuser changed Hiram's mother's surname a little while ago from Soto to Sosa, my first impulse was to revert it as vandalism. After all, wasn't my own May 27 update, adding Soto to his name in the heading, based on a biography which listed it that way?
But then I took a fresh look at that biography and saw that it now said Sosa. And I found a bunch of other places with the same information. But on the other hand, there are still a bunch of web sites which list his apellido materno as Soto. Which is right? I have no idea. Is there anybody in Puerto Rico who could investigate this issue in local sources? Is Hiram's birth record available in the Registro Civil de Santurce?
