but is misrepresented by the text added.  The witnesses didn't witness the alleged 1764 transaction, and we don't have the deed, at least not here.
It's said the will was proved in 1762.  If that's correct, there are several possibilities:
# 1764 is a mistake
# the land was bought from the estate, or from Ann as surviving joint owner
# the land was bought from a different Augustine Washington.
Since a Washington-Hodges deal is very peripheral to an article about the Hipkins family (who were only witnesses, to a different deal) we can't expect too much precision.  Not an ironclad case for the change.

replies: text: The 1764 date is simply incorrect, it's a derivation from another document which itself is not sourced directly. Every other single source I have consulted gives the year of death as 1762 so am changing the date and citing refs. Shearonink (talk) 22:19, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Saanich Peninsula

message: I was hoping to find a specific description of the peninsula's isthmus; landward limit but it's not in BC Names as I'd hoped/expected.  It's a given that the south end of Saanich Inlet at Goldstream is the west point of the isthmus; the closest saltwater to that point is Gorge Water, the pond at the head of The Gorge, but that would make Victoria part of the Peninsula, and it's never conceived of as that way; best I can think of is across to Cadboro Bay/Six Mile Point, which bisects the Municipality of South Saanich, but that's unofficial.  In local parlance I don't think Highland would be included if someone said "up on the Peninsula; they're meaning  North Saanich, Sidney, Brentwood, Saanichton etc....anything north of Elk Lake.  The name info on BC Names should be included, but I have to get busy at work so am not in the mood to expand this more today.Skookum1 (talk) 03:53, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Black Mesa (Apache-Navajo Counties, Arizona)

message: Added tag re: POV and accuracy today. Definitely NOT NPOV. Needs a good cleaning up. Lots of irrelevant (or maybe relevant, but misplaced) info. MadScientistMatt 07:39, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the dispute tag because the offending material is now gone.  As an editorial comment, the truth (as the above paragraph indicates) is far worse than any of the now-removed material.  We're not going to solve the Navajo / Hopi land dispute (which, overall, dates back at least to the 1880s and I think is a byproduct at least in part of the federal government's attempts to keep Catholic missionaries out of Indian territory) or questions of tribal resources here...but the circumstances surrounding the coal lease and the money coming form it involve the US government too, and are one of the larger corruption scandals in US history, just not well covered.  There are some mainstream press accounts about all of this, by the way, just far less than if a similar incident had occurred off reservation.  I'll see if I can find any and want to wade in.  Anyway, they are the subject of a separate article.  No point putting it here, in an article about the place.  Wikidemo 20:39, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I checked its Amazon sales rank and it was +2,000,000, which is absolute horrible.  While the book may be important to you, there are more than 2 million other books which are selling more copies.  There are only 1.5 million wikipedia articles.  If someone feels strongly about it in the future and is willing to put the time in to write a proper article that establishes why it is notable the article can be recreated.  --ChrisWakefield 04:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have merged the two articles as I don't think there is enough to justify to separate articles, and this is a good half-way measure.  I still think that a case can be made to delete this article, even after the merge, but it is not as straightfoward as before.  To solidify such an article, it is best to find 3rd party references, such as a mention in the NYT or LATimes or other high profile publications.  Otherwise Bill comes across as a nobody that no one really cares about except himself.  Cheers.  --ChrisWakefield 21:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Berwick Castle

message: Half of its history and virtually all of its construction was Scottish. So as well as being an "English castle" it should also be listed under Castles in the Scottish borders. There is an element of overlap required here. David Lauder 21:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I found a reference to Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford being appointed by Elizabeth I as "governor of Berwick" in 1564 (and indeed, it so states in his article here on Wikipedia).  Is it safe to assume that this refers to Berwick Castle?  The link in his article is to Berwick upon Tweed, not the Castle.  The book where I found the reference is here, on p. 6 of   Sketch of the History of the House of Russell, by David Ross.  London:  W.S. Orr & Co., 1848.  Laura1822 17:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Shirley Conran

message: Shirley Conran's book "Crimson" is a tightly constructed novel about fraud and theft perpetrated on a writer and her family. It is in a bit of a "Women's Liberation" genre as the heroine, her life-time friend and partner, as well as her granddaughters all grapple with the the core questions of woman's relationship with man, work, life roles and other. The novel takes this writer back to Simone de Beauvoir's book "The Second Sex" where de Beauvoir identifies the core problem of human relationships where man is defined as integral, whole, valuable, having purpose and meaning while woman is defined as being "The Other," secondary, non-integral, non-essential, lacking value in her work and her life's role.  --RubyBluebird 00:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

message: We should really update the inflation on these articles for the prices.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by HasbroSaban (talk • contribs) 17:23, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I have undone your recent edit as I have no idea why you made it. The machine was not released in the USA so there is no need, or relevance, to change the inflation value to USD. In fact, doing so while the sentence still referenced the original Aus Dollar cost was erroneous and confusing. The inflation template automatically updates for contemporary day pricing (even if it's a little off by a few years) and this does not need doing manually.

message: The following has no sources:
* Swan Lake has seen regular animals such as cattle, pigs, ducks, herons, muskrats, mink, and of course swans, but it has also seen a lion from the French Menagerie.
* Swan Lake used to house two wineries, a local dairy, a saloon, and a hotel.
* Swan Lake Hotel burned down twice: once in 1894, and once in 1897. It was not rebuilt after the second fire.
* A large horse sank down to its neck in the marsh around 1921 and was rescued by two teenage boys.
* In 1976, a wood chip truck sank to its bed in a marshy area while surfacing the park's trails.

message: This page is supposed to be about tube amps - good or bad. This page is imho not a place for you to "vent your spleen" (to quote your own comment) about if tube amps are inferior or otherwise to transistors. Or ? Tubes amps ARE. Transistor amps ARE. There are many, there have been tube amps at least for over a hundred years, and many people like them, and some are interested in them. Isnt that enough to justify a Wiki page ? I am not interested in what you prefer, consider better - nor do I seek to pursuade you. You can listen to what you like.
