Talk:U.S. Route 522

message: How would a Highway Patrol chase a fugitive traveling on US 522 through 4 states? (or at least thru Maryland?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.91.117 (talk) 19:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I've created a draft of US 522 that combines the four state-detail articles into one article.  The route is only 308 miles long, and as combined, the content did not provide an overly long article. –Fredddie™ 20:14, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

We cannot expect this type of thing to be covered in The New York Times or such other sources considered "reliable" to establish notability. Internet subcultures need to be held to a different and more reasonable standard of notability.

Talk:Caldicot School

message: Decision was settled on Start Class. Information is pretty adequate. However, history section seems to be lacking in relation to the school age. Also, "rebuilding" can go into the history section instead, as it kind of cause that section to be chaotic. Recommended flow: History, Campus, Programmes and Curriculum, Extra-curricular Activities, Alumni; References
Also, do not place excessive information on what the school website would naturally offer, such as result analysis by year. This does not serve the function of Wikipedia.

Talk:Upfield Bike Path

message: Calling this bike path a Rail Trail is confusing and misleading.  The usual meaning of Rail Trail is a trail built on a disused railway line, not following an active one.  I would have changed this in the article myself, but it seems someone has been using this term all over the place, so it would need quite a few edits.  I've lived in Brunswick & Coburg for over 20 years and use the path constantly but I've never heard anyone call it a rail trail.   ☸ Moilleadóir 00:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The article was originally called Upfield Bike Path, as that is it's generally used name by residents, Moreland Council, Bicycle Victoria, and listed in the Bike Paths books. This article should not have been renamed, as it appears to have been done on a whim based upon it following the Upfield rail line. I  am moving it back to Upfield Bike Path, which is its generally recognised name.--Takver (talk) 06:26, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Aristides de Sousa Mendes

message: In the opening section there is too much detail about conflicting reports on the number of visas, all of which is repeated later. An acceptably accurate number can be given, and the dispute alluded to. The Sousa Mendez foundation has names for 3,900. I have never contributed so I am hesitant to rewrite the intro myself, if someone gives me the thumbs up or no one responds I'll give it a shot.
Jeffwack111 (talk) 02:20, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  The number of Visas advanced by the Sousa Mendes Foundation is debatable. This foundation claims that "Portugal, officially neutral, yet unofficially pro-Hitler", which is the opposite of what most historians say about Portugal's neutrality.  The foundation also claims that "Sousa Mendes was severely punished by Salazar, stripped of his diplomatic position and forbidden from earning a living" while historian Tom Gallagher, and other historians, argue that Sousa Mendes was never actually expelled from the foreign service", Tom Gallagher says that "However, a foundation instrumental in keeping alive his memory claims he was ‘stripped of his diplomatic position and forbidden from earning a living, It seems that ill health prevented him from returning to diplomatic work and he figured on the roll of diplomatic staff up to his death. This makes sense since he was paid a full salary by the state until the end of his life. One of his most sympathetic biographers, Rui Afonso, has reckoned that he continued to receive a salary at least three times that of a teacher". As to the number of Visas the thing is that Sousa Mendes was actually supposed to issue Visas, because it was his job to issue Visas. And by doing his job he did issue visas to British Citizens, American Citizens, etc...  and for issuing this visas, as it was his duty, he was paid his customary personal compensation fees. For each visa he issued he received a fee for his own pocket. So it does not make sense to include all this regular visas in the counting as the foundation does. In fact Sousa Mendes and all other consuls had received instructions "not to hinder the arrival in Lisbon of passengers going on to other countries "(Gallagher 2020). On another turn, there are cases of visas where indeed Sousa Mendes was supposed to have asked prior authorization to the authorities in Lisbon to issue the visa, but he decided not to ask that  permission. Tom Gallagher says that "Long before the crisis of May 1940 he [Sousa Mendes] had been issuing visas to people whose right to stay or not was the foreign ministry’s responsibility. The numbers increased in June 1940 but fell far short of the thousands of visas which his later admirers claimed had been issued by him. Evidence that his efforts were especially directed towards fleeing Jews is also speculative. British, Portuguese and American citizens, often people with means, figured prominently as recipients of visas."--J Pratas (talk) 18:52, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inaccuracy 

message: YES.
What little additional information that might be in this article should be merged into the larger WCG article.
The organization changed hardly at all at the time of its name change.  By the 1970s, the RCG name was rarely mentioned, of historical interest only.
Admittedly there was a RADICAL trandormation of the teachings and an almost complete turn-over of membership, going from the "old" WCG (formerly RCG) of 1933-1986 to the "new, improved" WCG of 1986-to-date.  BUT, filing the 1933-1986 version under RCG and the 1986-to-date version under WCG is not the right way to do it.  WCG was the final name of the old version, and the new version uses the same name.  So, like it or not, both versions have to be listed under the WCG article.  (Emphasize the transition, because the differences are VAST, and many more people know about the "old WCG" than the "new WCG".)
"Radio Church of God" should just redirect to "Worldwide Church of God".  -Whiner01 07:12, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bob Clement

message: This article is overloaded with independent and dependent clauses and parenthetical expressions.  It's confusing!  Can someone explain what the following snippets has to do with this biography:
*No Republican was ever elected to the Public Service Commission in Tennessee during its existence, which later played a factor in its abolition.
*Butcher's total expenditures in running for governor of Tennessee that year exceeded $4,000,000, a then unheard-of amount for a relatively small state. By comparison, Jerry Brown in the same year also spent about $4,000,000 running for re-election as governor of California, a far larger state in both area and population. Butcher nonetheless lost the general election to Republican Lamar Alexander.
*... at this time, the TVA Board had only three members and unlike most similar positions was a full-time job...
*This institution, founded in the 1840s, had at one time been a prestigious university but had fallen upon hard times, never fully recovering from the Great Depression and the widespread availablity of lower-cost public higher education after World War II. The low point in its problems probably occurred in the early 1960s when it was forced, for financial reasons, to sell its once-renowned law school (which Clement's father had attended) to what is now Samford University. - this info could go to Cumberland College's article, instead.
*A Republican has not made a serious run for this district since 1972.
It also says twice that Clement is active in Democratic political circles -- OK we can see that, already.
Check out this 73-word sentence:
:He defeated three-term incumbent Hammond Fowler in the 1972 Democratic primary by an incredible margin of almost three to one, bolstered in part by a televised debate in which he appeared to be young and vibrant while his opponent appeared to be old and doddering, and went on in November to overwhelm Republican nominee Tom Garland in what was otherwise largely a very good year for Republicans in Tennessee running for major offices.
