Talk:Cliffe Fort

message: This was located at the very beginning of the article. Does this number have any relevance? Is it a Grid Reference Number? LordAmeth (talk) 14:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed from article

message: I visited Cliffe Fort to see the Brennan Torpedo launch pad which was very interesting.
However I was unable to follow instructions published on the web for actually visiting the
site, the published instruction tells you to follow the 'Concrete Road' which is now controlled by a High Locked gate.  this resulted in a 3.8 mile return journey diversion along the sea wall to the East and North of the castle and gravel works.  The walk by the concrete road would have been only 2.3 miles there and back.
However the diversion is very pleasant.
I understand that the gate is kept locked for security and safety reasons because of the working of heavy vehicles on site, and also
to keep out 'travellers', and vandals looking for somewhere to burn out stolen vehicles.
The Fort itself is now securely enclosed in fences,  but the launching pad is not enclosed, being on the beach side of the site and cutting through the sea wall so is open to easy inspection..

message: I have made some adjustments to the text of this article to ensure consistency with the Brennan torpedo article. This was necessary because the article is about to be promoted at DYK, and inconsistencies of this type are supposed to be resolved before promotion. I have gone with the specialized source as it's clearly much better than the generic source used for the original claim. Gatoclass (talk) 11:33, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Stepan Center

message: This building should definitely have a page, and should have a longer article.  It is an iconic part of any Notre Dame student's time at the school, mostly because of its overwhelmingly negative features.  Being forced to take an exam with 1000 of my classmates in the dead of winter in a building whose insulation is falling about and generally inadequate?  Putting on student performances in a rainstorm in a building with a leaky roof?  Of course, not all memories are bad.  I also vividly remember the cramped, sweaty pep rally before the Michigan game, and most students have a story about that night they climbed Stepan (even if half of them actually never did.  These are memories that stick with you, and part of the shared experiences that bind the Notre Dame family together.  Individual memories are, of course, inappropriate for wikipedia, but most alumni (like me) has Stepan indelibly marked in their mind.  Also, in its early history, it was home to some pretty rocking concerts.  I don't know how to make that into an article, but this is certainly something that ought not be deleted.  150.148.0.32 (talk) 14:37, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Lap-lap

message: I cannot find any connection between the definition and description given here, and the reality in Papua New Guinea. Throughout both Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, the term lap-lap denotes a single length of cloth, often wide enough to extend from waist to below the knees, and long enough to wrap around the body one and a half times or more. It is wrapped around the body and fastened at front or towards the side by a variety of styles of tucking in. I grew up in PNG in the 1960s and 1970s, and worked there in the 1990s and 2000s. During all this time the term never denoted anything other than the above description. I have never seen a "lap-lap" with separate front, back or side components as described in this article, nor one held up with yarn or thread. Without reliable sourcing of CURRENT usage of the term, this article as it is deserves to be expunged. In PNG and Solomon Islands, the lap-lap as I have described it is the common garment for boys and men, though western attire has increasingly replaced it in public. Lap-lap is the term employed in Tok Pisin; in Hiri Motu, the word is "rami". In PNG and Solomon Islands, a belt is seldom used, though one was used in the version employed by the Papuan police during the colonial era - but that was much more modelled on the more formal Fijian sulu, than on the PNG lap-lap. Even the sulu as commonly worn more resembles a beltless lap-lap, though more tailored ones have become common. In fact the article on lava-lava more closely relates to lap-lap than the description given in this article. Correcting requested! Ptilinopus (talk) 06:02, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

This head on collision was to have taken the life of an 11 year old boy, the son of Stacey Mathews ( an American citizen ). Stacey was taken to a place called Spring Clinic, I was told via a phone call from a Dr. Martins Adewale ( the number used was 011-234-806-039-8552). She was to be on her way to Murtala Mohammad Airport (Lagos) and had a flight with KML airlines at 21:40 I beleive; Flight #: KL0588, Aircraft type: Boeing 777-200, Class: Economy. I was told the police had taken them to the Clinic from the scene of the accident, so there would have been a report about it. Im hopeing you can look into this for me, as Im not sure if its the truth or if its fabricated. I could possibily be in the middle of a scam. If not then different measure could be taken. I was told she required treatment in the form of surgery, and would need payment for it to take place. I sent money to a Karen Jean at the address of 64 Akiolu St. Ikeja Lagos Nigeria 23401.
