Talk:Twenty pence (British coin)

message: I did a web search for Heather Langridge whose 20th birthday apparently a grateful nation celebrated in 1971 but could find nothing relevant.

thread_title:  Why the unusual cupronickel 

message: There is an interesting article on the Royal Mint's website that shows designs were well advanced for a 20p coin that would have entered circulation at decimalisation in 1971. Possibly, it may even have been intended for it to have circulated from 1968-71 as a 4s coin, in the same way that the new 5p, 10p and 50p coins were introduced early for public familiarisation purposes (which was possible as they has exact pre-decimal values, i.e. 1s, 2s & 10s). An image of the coin can be found here.
Is this fact worthy of inclusion here?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.185.6 (talk) 12:06, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

message: The exact date of issue was, according to The Times Feb 11 1982, scheduled to be June 9 1982. The article doesn't mention the exact date of issue. Why don't you put in June 9 1982 as the exact date of issue? After all, you have space to include absurd, robotic nitpicking about '20 pence coin' versus '20p coin', so you should also have space to include the exact date of issue.

replies: text: As I noted in my most recent edit summary, this "fact" is WP:Original research since there is no source connecting the character's name to the real world Scottish/Irish word. It may be interesting but it does not meet the criteria for inclusion. The Julian May usage is connected to the Scottish word, so would only possibly be relevant in a wiktionary entry about that.

replies: text: Um, you cannot cite a message board response from fans as a source, which you just did here. One user (Andrew Lim) seems to have explained WP sourcing to you in much detail. The "Full-time Star Wars geek" you've cited as saying "I recall from the annotated edition of HTTE that he mentioned being aware of the Scots meaning of 'thrawn'" is NOT a reliable source.

text: I would also like to note that Zahn being aware of the word doesn't necessarily make it relevant to this article unless he is suggesting he intended the connotation of what it means to reflect on the character.

Talk:Conservation in Hong Kong

message: I propose a move of the current Country parks and conservation in Hong Kong to the title Conservation in Hong Kong. The current title is either incomprehensive or overlapping for the content currently in the page. What I could find for the only reason for the current title is a fact sheet of Hong Kong bearing a similar name: . "Conservation in place name" is the most used title for similar topic for other countries and regions.
Another overlapping is between the current title and the page Marine parks in Hong Kong. Marine park management is part of the conservation policy in Hong Kong. I would like to propose that the marine park page merges into the renamed Conservation in Hong Kong page. Putting all under the inclusive title will be the best solution for the current confusion.--Dono (talk) 15:20, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Clout (band)

message: Could somebody enter this information about the rock band clout in a some sensible form. 
Clout
Clout were originally a 5-piece, South African million-selling all-girl (rock)group formed in 1977, best for the song 'Substitute', that reached UK#2 for 3 weeks in June 1978 and achieved #1 status in New Zealand, Australia, Germany, France, Belgium, Holland and South Africa. Went to #67 in the USA for 1 week in September 1978 and stayed 10 weeks in the US charts. The song 'Substitute' was a cover version of an obscure Righteous Brothers' song, 'Substitute' (composed by Willie Wilson).

message: The date of March 5, 1858 was listed as a founding date.  DTD has no record of one date registered for the founding, but celebrates 1858 as the founding year.  For some time, 1859 was hypothesized as a founding year (and can be seen on older version of the coat of arms).  A fire in Bethany College's main building led to many records being destroyed, along with the fact that the founding chapter was disbanded after only a few years as a result of the Civil War.

message: The public motto of Delta Tau Delta has been since initial inception -- "Labor for the Beautiful and the Good."   Note the Fraternity's own website for this reference at http://www.delts.org/about/kershner.html (last part of article.)
In the 1990s, as part of a newly adopted curricula of values education for members, the Fraternity embraced a mission statement -- "Committed to Lives of Excellence" -- but has never altered its motto.
In the current official version of the Fraternity's Coat of Arms, the words "Delta Tau Delta" appear on the heraldic ribbon where -- in other achievements of arms -- a motto might go.  In Delta Tau Delta's unique case, the spelled out Greek letters refer to the hidden meaning of the Fraternity, and are not its official public motto.
In 2009, Delta Tau Delta undertook yet another communications / brand refresh and currently uses the phrase "Letters of Distinction.  Lives of Excellence." as its marketing slogan -- and yet, the historic official motto, "Labor for the Beautiful and the Good", remains unchanged.  Sandalfon (talk) 19:33, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

The claim that this is Yiddish Kortshin (קארטשין) home to the two rival and different rabbinical Rubin families, seems to be a mistake made on edit 643459552 by @Clerk22 Clerk22.
