Talk:H. Winnett Orr

message: It says, in the section “Legacy”, that “By the time of Orr's death, the cast had become such a routine part of childhood that a broken leg meant that one's friends would "autograph" the dried plaster while the patient endured a relatively minor inconvenience.” The part “such a routine part of childhood” wrongly suggests that having a broken leg (or arm) during childhood is altogether routine. Plenty of people reach adulthood without ever breaking a bone. I'm 23 years old, and I've never broken a bone. I believe both my parents went thru childhood without a fracture either. My little brother is turning 14 years old in a few days, and he has never broken a bone. How should the “such a routine part of childhood” be rewritten in order to be fair to the millions of children (likely most) who go thru childhood without ever breaking a bone?--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 07:01, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I have expanded the station history, based on the following reliable reference books and would be obliged if someone more attuned to Wikipedia conventions than I could add references as appropriate:

Railway Passenger Stations in England, Scotland and Wales: A Chronology (3rd Edition), by M.E.Quick, published by the Railway & Canal Historical Society, Richmond, Surrey, in 2005.
I should add that much of the "Bus Services" section is out of date, there having been major alterations to routes and services numbers during 2012, but correcting this will require considerable research amongst bus timetable leaflets. Jamjarface (talk) 21:29, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Bob Smith (Wordsmith)

message: Fropm the article , moved here:
[This process is new to me, so I'm not too clear how to proceed.  Someone directed me to this site, and I was surprised to find myself the object of the inquiry.  I am the Bob Smith who did the original series "The WordSmith" in 1964 at KQED in San Francisco and re-created it ten years later as simply "Wordsmith" in the studio on Temple Street in Los Angeles (I forget the call letters of the station--KLCS, I think).  I note the dichotomy above between the person and the series, and I'll be glad to provide further information about either or both.  In this case, the two are closely joined, since the series and its predecessors at KQED in San Francisco were entirely my creation, although I received grand support from my first producer-director, Joanne Mock.  My name in its present form is Bob Kupa'a Smith, and my relevant data is (or are, if you're a purist): P. O. Box 407, Happy Camp CA 96039-0407, cell phone 530-598-9206, kupaasmith@yahoo.com  The ball is now in the court of anyone who is interested.  Oh, and yes, I'm alive.  Thank you for asking.
[The agency which produced the 1974 version of the series was AIT (now the Agency for Instructional Technology, I believe) in Bloomington, Indiana.  The executive producer was Gordon Hughan.  My wonderful producer-director was Glenn Johnson, aided enormously by his assistant, Karen Hamamura Nelson.  Together, they hugely enhanced the quality and effectiveness of the series.  AIT came back to me in 1988 with a request to remake the series once again "with a younger, ethnic host" and with me in the role of creator-consultant.  I agreed immediately and told them that I wanted Gordon Hughan, who had left AIT, to serve as my agent in negotiations.  Gordon had told me that "Wordsmith" had by then served as a "cash cow" for AIT for more than twenty years, so I felt it was a good move.  AIT immediately dropped all plans to redo the series, and that was the end of it.  It has not had a successor of any kind as far as I know.  In fact, I would not want it to have a successor under the Wordsmith name unless I were involved in it and had a voice in how it was done.  I don't know anything about the Mark Smith mentioned on Wikipedia.
[I have already received several contacts as a result of my article here.  Some are from students who are using the series in class right now, forty-four years after we created the original series.  Hey, that's what they call legs!  If you know of any current use, I'd be very interested to hear where it's happening, for whom (in class or not, what level), and in what form (videotape or other).  I am delighted to hear that the Wordsmith is still in harness and doing some good.

Recently a discussion was settled. The ex Traffic, supposudly sunk at an unknown location was not sunk at all.
The ex Traffic was scuttled in 1940, then resurfaced by the German army, taken in use and, in march 1941 dismantled at Cherbourg.
This can also be seen at the Nomadic collection facebookpage where a photo is posted of the dismanteling of the ex Traffic.

Talk:Celestial (Chinese)

message: In early Sexton Blake Library stories (from 1915), and also a few other boy's adventure stories i have dating from 1935, this term is also used. These stories are from Great Britain and it seems to be applied to chinese people dressed in 'traditional' costume only, such as the large pointy straw hat and loose-fitting dark blue clothes. The main villain of SBL issue 1 (who is Chinese) uses the term himself on occasion. 86.138.26.56 21:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: It does not seem to be appropriate to include the template for Ethnic slurs on this page as the term "Celestial" not only doesn't appear in the list of "slurs" on that page, it is in fact the translation of a Chinese term that these emigrants from China used to describe themselves.

Is there proper ediquette for wiping off the stick and putting the oppisite end in if you want to change from stirring/spearing?

message: *eehhh, i guess we need to figure out how to reconcile the current article with this washington post piece.  excerpt: "Here is a perfect example of why you shouldn't completely trust Wikipedia. The entry for "swizzle stick" reads: "Swizzle sticks are small sticks placed in cocktails to hold fruit or stir the drink. Commonly made of plastic, the swizzle portion of the swizzle stick name originated from the Caribbean cocktail, Rum Swizzle." It goes on to credit the invention of the swizzle stick to one Jay Sindler, "an engineer" who in 1933 "was looking for a way to get the olive out of his martini without using his fingers."  Is that true? A little bit, but mostly no."--Milowent (talk) 17:44, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Template talk:KT Tunstall

message: KT Tunstall's template appears to be non-standard. Comparing to templates for a few other artists, Template:Adele, Template:Joan Jett, Template:Katie Melua, Template:Of Monsters and Men, or Template:Lindsey Stirling, all the other templates list studio albums as first row, then compilation albums or video albums if there are any, then live albums as the next row, then extended plays for the next row, then singles for the next row, and finally related articles.  Adele has a few more flourishes, with featured singles, other songs, concert tours. 
However, KT Tunstall's template lists her first studio album as a category, with a listing of the singles and hyperlinked songs to the left. Then the third studio album is listed as a category with the songs as the details, and then the fourth and fifth albums with same song detailing.  Then her other studio album and some of her EPs are listed, then finally on to a standard approach with other songs and related articles.
I propose that change the template to match how other artist templates are shown.  I will hold off until after July 4th in order for others to comment, then if there are no objections, or if a consensus is reached, I will make the change. Mburrell (talk) 22:26, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Talk:American Samoa national rugby union team

message: , I think the rationale for this deletion, diff, is overly narrow. Players of international standard eligible by birth choose not to play for American Samoa, typically for economic reasons. This limits the potential of the American Samoan team to a greater degree than for larger nations and it is, in that respect, relevant to the article. – Perhaps otherwise, as a corollary, the women's section in the US national team article, i.e. United States national rugby union team§Women's national team, should be deleted? – None of that team's players have represented the US (men's) national team, the subject of that article. Yet the information may be relevant to readers of that page in demarking the limits of the topic. -- Ham105 (talk) 00:46, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

I agree the phenomenon is relevant, and in response to your message I have added back in the sentence I had removed describing the phenomenon. What I do take issue with, however, is maintaining a list of such players. We don't list here every player who played for the national team, and certainly don't need to list players who could have but didn't play for the national team. Having a list of players who someone wished had played for the national team but didn't is about as manageable as a list of players I hope will play for the national team some day.
