Talk:The Hidden Harbor Mystery

message: See [] for discussion about User FWDixon/Bob Finnan's link spamming and plagiarism.
More on the link spamming and commercial advertising. Example http://hardyboys.bobfinnan.com/hbpb.htm is just a list of titles that all have links to Amazon. All of the books summaries were copied from Amazon. Every HB Digest title, Casefiles title, Clues Brothers title, Supermysteries title, Ultra Thriller title and so on has a link to Amazon and all summaries were copied from Amazon. Does that tell anyone something?
:Yep, tells us you're lying! Here's a link to Amazon's Ultra Thriller page (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671756613/ref=nosim) and not a summary to be seen. Ditto for everything else.

You re-moved Marduk-apal-iddina I to Marduk-apal-iddina II, which I cannot understand. Due to the time schedule at the List of kings of Babylon, but also comparing with the article at the german wikipedia this seems to be wrong. Can u please explain. Thx --Creando 16:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Babylonian kings are usually dated with their first year of rule after the last year of their predecessor. So even if Marduk-apal-iddina actually seized the throne in 722 BC, his first dated year of reign would be in 721 BC. Yes, it´s a bit confusing, especially in this period when the throne of Babylon was constantly usurped and reclaimed by Assyrian and Chaldean kings. --JFK 22:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I personally understand this, but the article says he usurped the throne in 721 BC and reigned 722-710. Shouldn't it be the other way around? (i.e. usurped 722, r.721-710)? Thank you. Cornelius (talk) 19:07, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Disputed? 

message: I've proposed a merger between this article and Planetary Nebula M2-9 since they both describe the same object. But they both seem to have slightly different information. Quite possibly complementary information which could be used to make a superior article to either on its own. This formation is referred to by many names: Butterfly Nebula (but that gets it confused with, I'm wanting to say NGC 6302? or some other "Butterfly Nebula" on Wikipedia), Twin Jet(s) Nebula, M2-9 and Planetary Nebula M2-9. Currently Twin Jet Nebula, and M2-9 already redirect to Planetary Nebula M2-9, it's my opinion that this one should be merged with that one since both contain good info, and likely this one should redirect there too, with a listing of all names it's known by... And redirects from those names should point there as well. However, since it's known by so many names, it should be decided which name is the most applicable or widely used and go with that. Let's discuss. Mgmirkin 20:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Cleaned up a couple things. 1) changed reference to Planetary nebula into reference to Protoplanetary nebula, as this is, I believe the correct term. Let's not get them confused. Also cleaned up the 'See Also' section to removed reference to other bipolar nebulae I'd added previously, instead, it now links to Bipolar nebula, Bipolar outflow, Planetary nebula, Protoplanetary nebula. The Bipolar nebula article lists all the same bipolar/protoplanetary nebulae, so this is more of a tidying up thing and a second thought adfter having initially added the other nebulae. Anyway, for more info on why things were cleaned up the way they were, see the talk page on Talk:Planetary Nebula M2-9. Again, I reiterate, that these articles should really be merged (probably quite painlessly) into one more informative article on the same structure, and then have all roads lead to that article (which ever of the two namespaces is preferable). That would be much preferable to having to update two articles independently with the same edits. Mgmirkin 16:34, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * Since nobody really been talking, I'm going to assume this article isn't much being edited or monitored, so I'll Be Bold and do the merge myself. I'll merge Wings of a Butterfly Nebula into Planetary Nebula M2-9, and mold this namespace into a redirect to that article. Hopefully this is fairly non-controversial, as M2-9 and Twin Jet Nebula both already redirect to Planetary Nebula M2-9. Mgmirkin 02:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: For all the inadequacies in the Tecumseh personal listing, it correctly lists Tecumseh as a "leader" of the Shawnee. Chiefs had specific duties in each of the Shawnee septs, although there were some exceptions, Tecumseh belonged to the Kispokota sept, which provided war chiefs, yet he was not a war chief but simply a reknowned warrior. Although I can understand where someone might say this doesn't matter as his elevated position made him a de facto chief, historians who have studied him usually come down on the side of calling him a leader of the Shawnee, but never a chief.

replies: text: I'm indifferent to where ICE points right now.  When I started editing, I always thought the acronym referred to InterCity Express, and seeing the redirect point there only reinforced that idea.  However, as an American and a native English speaker, I must say that I hadn't heard the In case of emergency meme yet (but that's not saying much since it took a User Friendly comic to alert me to Badger Badger Badger).  I've already gone through the railroad-related links to point them to InterCity Express to avoid confusion there.  slambo 23:16, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
Whoops, I undid the redirect, not realizing there was a discussion going on here.

message: I think this should remain a subcategory of peace organizations, for fairly obvious reasons.  However, I also think that, in a special-case violation of Wikipedia:Categorization guidelines, articles in this category can also be acceptably listed in the category Peace organizations, because many of them have been or are involved in a number of peace activities other than opposition to the Iraq War, and so it would be misleading to categorize them as solely Anti-Iraq War groups.  For example, Vietnam Veterans Against the War is much better known for Vietnam-era activities, so it would be strange if the only categorization on its page were as anti-Iraq War.  However, it is, in fact, now opposed to the Iraq War, so it would be equally strange to leave it off that list.  I'm just explicitly justifying apparent existing practice.

replies: text: Text is basically correct. My complaint was putting Art Salzberg up with Bob Seivers and Bob Chase. He was not a part of the Westinghouse great days and thus should not be included. WOWO Historian
Correction/clarification needed: Apparently WOWO was the first station "wholly owned" by Westinghouse Electric's then-new subsidiary, Westinghouse Broadcasting. But the way it's stated here is misleading -- as, of course, Westinghouse had built and continued to own several other pioneer radio stations, starting with KDKA, Pittsburgh, in 1920. The unofficial WOWO history Web site also makes this statement, but mentions that it was the first licensed to the subsidiary. In general, this "first" is meaningless trivia. I don't know why anyone would bother mentioning it. Also, when WOWO was discontinued as a Class A ("clear channel") station under the FCC rules because its nighttime power was reduced, WLIB did not in any way take over that status. WLIB is a Class B station that, unlike Class A stations, has no protection from interference for its nighttime, long-distance skywave signal. A footnote: WOWO was the last clear-channel station designated by the FCC when it increased its power in 1954 -- and the first to be discontinued.99.30.233.255 (talk) 06:51, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
