message: Cowslips are characteristic of dry grassland habitats.  They do occur in areas that are seasonally flooded but are not typical of wet ground so not likely to be particularly associated with places where cows might slip.  Hence I think "cow slip" must be false etymology/back construction.

message: I've changed the sub-heading "Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serbian irredentists" to "Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serbian nationalists".  The reason is that "irredentists" is a loaded term and I don't think is NPOV.  It lacks clear definition, as the article on Irredentism says:  "Many definitions of irredentism have been proposed to give a more precise formulation. Despite a wide overlap concerning its general features, there is no consensus about its exact characterization."  Given the uncertainty about what it means, I don't think we should use it for a sub-heading. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:04, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:List of railway museums in the United Kingdom

message: Would it make more sense to merge this list with that in List of British heritage and private railways for several reasons:
*Several of the entries are duplicated (i.e. in both lists).
*Many of the museums have a short running line (which could be classed as a heritage railway), for example the East Anglia Railway Museum.
*It would be more convenient to have all preserved railway sites, museums and railways all on one page.

replies: text: That sounds like a good idea to me. Thryduulf 21:45, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: In the UK many organisations claim to run a 'museum'. however there is a nationally recognised standard for any museum run by the Museum, Libraries and Archives Council in the form of 'museum registration', currently gradually being replaced by 'museum accreditation'.
All museums that hold provisional or full registration or accreditation have a number, for instance the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is currently registered museum No.290.  In the case of the NYMR the whole, eighteen mile long, railway is the museum, unlike some other heritage railways where only a single building is the registered museum.
Accredited or Registered museums must demonstrate certain standards both relating to the museum itself as well as things like opening hours and visitor facilities.
In listing 'railway museums', we should distinguish those which have gained registration or accreditation, preferably by quoting their number.
Whether we should distinguish museums that are simply a collection of objects from those which have short demonstration lines or whole heritage railways I leave open for debate.

message: I removed the following sentence:
:"Agreeing to disagree" is a common phrase in English which may be better described as a situation where the parties agree that they disagree. 
I (respectfully) disagree with this interpretation, because I would argue that it can apply even when the parties do not "agree to disagree." Two people can both agree that their positions are incompatible, and hence "agree that they disagree," but they won't necessarily compromise by dropping the issue. Maybe a better way to put it is that the phrase means something like "agree that their disagreement is not worthy of continued conflict," but putting that in myself would obviously be original research. \sim Lenoxus " * " 21:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Holland Tunnel fire

message: One uncertainty in this article is the position of the fire along the length of the tunnel.
Egilsrud (and the other sources who quote the 1949 Board of Fire Underwriters report) state that the truck travelled 2900 feet.  The contemporary newspaper source (Engineering News Record) is from a reporter who actually visited the site during its refurbishment, and it states that the truck travelled 1838 feet before starting to burn.  If the reporter is correct, this would put the fire on a steeper downgrade(3% downhill instead of 0.25% downhill), and the damaged tunnel ventilation fans would be in the New Jersey Land vent shaft instead of the New Jersey River vent shaft.
Given the pattern of damage (200 feet uphill of the fire site and 500 feet downhill of it), I've chosen the longer distance, because I think that the pattern of damage is more approporate to a shallow gradient (0.25%) than to the steeper one (3%).
To clear this up, input is needed from someone who either:
* has a copy of the 1949 report,
* has access to the details of the fan refurbishment program,
* has walked through the vent ducts and stumbled across significant number of 1940's-style hardhats in the extract duct in zones S4 or zone S2 :-)
