Talk:Alexander Caulfield Anderson

message: ...but sadly unsourced, so I have removed it:
he led the Fur Brigades on a long journey to see if the Fort Hope trail was good for fur traders to travel along. They went through many hardships including loosing horses, getting bitten by mosquitos and loosing their men. Alexander always rode up front and reported about the happenings on the trail. Mr.Andersons children also travelled with the brigades their names were Eliza and James Anderson
Here is James' journal entry
Our father, Alexander Anderson, rides in front of the brigade. He is the trader in charge. It is his duty to lead the way. He must stop the brigade on time if he sees anything blocking our trail. A senior worker rides just behind Father. He carries Father's orders to the rest of the brigade. Strings of pack horses carrying our tents and supplies next. Following them, one after another, are many groups of pack horses carrying our furs. Two riders are responsible for each group. They need all their skill to control the horses during our climb over the mountain and when we have to cross rivers.

Talk:Goran (Slavic name)

message: Petty nationalism aside, the name Goran is the same name no matter if a person is from Croatia or Macedonia. The article Peter does not state that "Peter can be a German name, an English name, a Norwegian name, a Swiss name..."
I would agree that the Southern European name Goran is different from Göran, since they have completely different backgrounds and the only reason they are sometimes spelt the same are due to the lack of the letter ö in many keybards, but claiming that the Croatian Gorans, the Serbian Gorans and the Macedonian Gorans have different names is simply preposterous.

thread_title:  Goran in Kurdistan: first name, last name or both? 

message: Citing from a source from the Kurdish page " Avestan word gairi meaning mountain "...
It also says in the this page (the Slavic) that Goran maybe means "man from the Mountains". This is obviously connected somehow. 
Wonder if "-i" in the ending of a word is used in Slavic languages? In Kurdish (also Persian and Dari) it is used to "describe origins", I am bad at explaining this since I don't know of the correct terms but will simply give an exampel, In Kurdish: If you are from the Goran region, you could say you are an "Gorani". If you are from Serbia you could say "Serbi" etc. etc.
It also says in this article that the Goranitribe in Balkan strongly practises Islam. Maybe the Gorans arrived, together with Islam, to Balkan. It is a fact that the Ottomans invaded the area and spread Islam to the region, and that most of their army (or large parts of it) were of Kurdish origin. These eventually settled in the area and mixed with the locals. Perhaps a group of these were from the Goran region of Kurdistan...

replies: text: Reflective of the ideology Thayer Street was known for more so than an instance of POV editing. It should be sourced better, but I can tell you what the editor probably intended, anyway: Thayer Street was always known for its independent, quirky businesses and was known as a sort of counterculture hotspot for that reason -- and because of its proximity to RISD. The replacement of those kinds of businesses with national chains has notably eroded that reputation, making it one of many busy shopping streets in Providence -- and one which has become noteworthy more for its crime problems. I'm fairly sure I remember seeing articles about these aspects of Thayer Street Providence Phoenix, Providence Journal, and in particular the smaller indie newspapers/websites in the area.

Talk:Origins of coffee

message: As of 8 March, 2007, the article reads:
"According to the International Coffee Organization, Kaldi, an Ethiopian goatherd was amazed at the lively behavior of his goats after chewing red coffee berries (Legend of Dancing Goats)."  However, the citation provided (available here) states the goat theory is very unlikely.  This line should be changed, because it leads the reader to believe that the goat theory is fact.  Anyone agree? —Old american century 03:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree and have added a factual accuracy dispute banner to the section. Furthermore, the events involving "Baba Budan" are very likely legend.

thread_title: French Revolution Image

message: This article (which maybe should be merged with History of coffee), says about how the Dutch came to possess seeds of coffee:
The race to make off with some live coffee trees or beans was eventually won by the Dutch in 1616, who brought some back from Malabar to Holland where they were grown in greenhouses. The Dutch began growing coffee at their forts in Malabar, India, and in 1699 took some to Batavia in Java, in what is now Indonesia.
In the main article, coffee, we read: 
The Dutch were the first to start large-scale importation of coffee into Europe, and eventually smuggled out some seedlings in 1690, as the Arabs were not allowed to export the plants or unroasted seeds. This led to coffee growing in Java, which was then a Dutch possession. (and this comes with a source).
I think the "1616 seeds in Holland" version must be wrong, since this article also says that seeds were smuggled into India  in the mid-1600's by  Baba Budan (Malabar's in India), except if I'm missing something - Badseed 12:51, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

message: == Ambiguous or erroneous historical identifications ==
The History section identifies Halfeti with Urima, Kal'a Rhomeyta, Romaion Koyla, and Kal'at-ül Rum.  According to the Pleiades project, Urima (http://pleiades.stoa.org/places/658562) is located at 37.110367, 37.86555, just over 15 km due south of the coordinates in the present article (37° 14′ 56″ N, 37° 51′ 57″ E).  On the other hand, the Wikipedia article for Kal'a Rhomeyta, Romaion Koyla, and Kal'at-ül Rum distinguishes it from the town Halfeti, and the coordinates given in Rumkale indicate that it is on the western bank of the Euphrates, while Halfeti is on the eastern bank.  Would it be better to delete the erroneous identifications, or to identify the district (rather than the town) of Halfeti by these names (if citations can be provided)?

message: A 2002 Guardian article says that the Spearmint Rhino gentlemen's clubs were converted from a chain of children's restaurants called the Peppermint Elephant.  And then in the same paragraph, they say that they struggled for a name .... that just seems off to me.  I  wonder if the person they interviewed was having them on?  It wouldn't be the first time this year where I found something in a supposedly reliable source that i just   dont believe.    
We are not even linking to the Guardian story, ....we just have the claim standing on its own.
Try to imagine what went on ....    for something to qualify as a children's restaurant, it would have to be something like Chuck E. Cheese, where there is as much space devoted to play as to eating the food ... maybe a skee-ball alley, bouncy castle, and so on.  And then one day the prioprieters decide, "hmm.... you know, our chain needs a little something more."   And all at once the whole chain converted to strip clubs.
I am removing the mention of the Peppermint Elephant. However, I'm removing it based on that it has no source, not based on my personal refusal to believe that Guardian article.   If someone else decides that they want the claim to stay, I won't be as stubborn here as I've been in a few other areas.
