Talk:Wyndham New Yorker Hotel

message: "Different proposals were offered for the use of the building, and in 1975 it was purchased by the Unification Church, who converted the 30th floor into individual apartments for the True Children. Under new management and following extensive renovation, the New Yorker Hotel finally re-opened its doors as a hotel on 1 June 1994. Since 2000 it has been part of the Ramada franchise. The hotel is currently undergoing another phase of major renovations as evidenced by a large stuffed Polar Bear holding a sign that reads "Please Bear Wittus"."
Is this best that anyone can do? What happened that the Unification Church passed it to the Ramada Group? Is a polar bear really the best evidence that renovations are underway?
This article is clearly written by someone who has very little knowledge of the building. You know, like maybe people would like to know the name of the architect, since it is a building of note? D'ya think?
Lame wikiality. Typical truthiness. This page is ranked higher than the official page for the hotel, which of course has more info. Your page ranking is gamed, and dishonest. You have no right to steal traffic away from better quality sites.
:The NYT reported that the hotel is now opened and still owned by the UC.  Referenced in the article.  Please put more info in. I will see if I can find the name of the architect. Steve Dufour (talk) 03:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Foot drum

message: The lead states that the foot drum is "typically played by striking it with the bare foot or pedal and beater combination," suggesting that drummers often play barefoot. I think the intent is to state that the foot drum is played using the foot either with or without a pedal, not to make a claim about shod vs unshod drumming habits (though some drummers do play barefoot). How about striking 'bare' from the open sentence to remove that ambiguity? SteveChervitzTrutane (talk) 00:38, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

message: There are two minor errors, I believe in this interesting and useful account. Hope the following might help:
1. The old airfield must have been to the EAST of the A338, not to the left (West) of it as stated at the end of the article.
2. The Ibsley VOR/DME was not located ON the airfield, but about 1.5 miles to the ENE, on top of the common, at approximately 50 53 37N/01 44 54W. I used to maintain this equipment in the early 1970s and it was always a pleasant trip up onto the common, followed by a pint in the Old Beams in Ibsley village!

Talk:Torres Islands

message: Name Section: "... sometime in the early nineteenth century the name Torres was given to the group by European cartographers in remembrance of the sixteenth-century Portuguese or Spanish navigator working for the Spanish Crown, Luis Váez de Torres, who briefly visited some of the islands of North and Central Vanuatu in April, May and June of 1606, and whose name was also given to the important Torres Strait that separates mainland Australia from the island of New Guinea. Ironically, neither Torres, his commander Pedro Fernández de Quirós, nor any of their subordinates ever saw, heard of or even came near to the Torres Islands during their cruise through the archipelago. Nevertheless, through its repeated appearance in European charts, the name of Torres eventually stuck and the islands have been known as such for almost two hundred years."
History Section: "The Torres Islands were discovered by Spanish explorer Luís Vaz de Torres sailing in the Queiros expedition of 1606. This navigator also discovered the Strait that bears his name between New Guinea and Australia."
Perhaps someone with specialist knowledge can resolve this flat contradiction.Opbeith (talk) 14:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've found no reference supporting Torres' discovery of these islands. Not definitely in [Hilder, 1980] which is the most authorized modern source on the Torres expedition. The only island I find that was charted after Torres, was by himself and his expedition in 1606. It was charted as Capitan Luis Vaes de Torres and correspnds to the present Aiduma Island in West New Guinea (Indonesia). I've corrected the inconsistency. The explanation about how Torres islands received that name, is also obscure, and deserves further explanation and references if possible.Mateo Flecha (talk) 10:55, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Reunification Movement for Change

message: The RMC and Namangi Aute are not synonymous. Namangi Aute is an old party dating back to the 1970s. The RMC was founded in 2012 by Charlot Salwai and other MPs kicked out of the UMP. Namangi Aute then merged into the RMC party that same year, but is (or was) simply one component of the RMC. Paul Telukluk was thus elected as an RMC candidate (not as an NA candidate) in the 2012 election. He then crossed the floor to be given a ministerial portfolio in 2014, and thereafter seems to have considered himself NA once more instead of RMC. Until he was convicted for bribery in 2015 and lost his seat in Parliament. See the French Wikipedia where there are separate articles for Namangi Aute and the RMC, with sourced information.
