Talk:Pavlov's Dog (band)

message: Chicken or Egg?
----
This article is about a progressive rock band. For the Russian physiologist and his experiments with dogs, see Ivan Pavlov. For Pavlov's experiment with dogs, see Classical conditioning.
I can certainly see why this article about a rock band would take precedence over the culturally significant reference to these experiments.  I.e., the very reason the phrase "Pavlov's Dog" is a household word worldwide...   I don't think.

message: I just happened to browse back here to find a link to familiarize a co-worker with this significant cultural reference, and find that there is absolutely no disambiguation page and that this page about a relatively unknown band has still been asserted as primary.  If one clicks on the disambiguation link at the top they are referred to a page that links only to the band site.
I then clicked on the talk page to address the issue and find that I already had back in April.
This is the first time I've been moved to try to lodge a grievance and see that things are remedied.    I don't even know how, but I will here very soon.

I mean this is pure crap. and guess what...the majority of bass notes are played with both hands, no matter which bassist you are.

Talk:Arthur Bryant's

message: This article says "it [Arthur Bryant's] became the subject of international attention when, in 1974, writer Calvin Trillin wrote in Playboy that Arthur Bryant's in Kansas City was '...possibly the single best restaurant in the world.'" However, the Kansas City-style barbecue page says "In 1974, Kansas City native Calvin Trillin wrote an article in New Yorker Magazine proclaiming [Arthur] Bryant's to be the best restaurant on the planet." I have no idea whether Trillin wrote about Arthur Bryant's in Playboy or the New Yorker, but unless he wrote about Kansas City barbecue in both magazines in the same year then one of these citations is obviously wrong.

message: At the moment, the “Sources of law” section contains the following topics:
* Charter of the IMT
* Command responsibility
* Crime against international law
* Crime against humanity
* Crime against peace
* Crime of apartheid
* Crime of genocide
* Customary law
* Laws of war
* Nuremberg Principles
* Peremptory norm
* Rome Statute
* Universal jurisdiction
* UN Charter
* War crime
* War of aggression
Most of these are not actually sources of law.  I suggest we split it into two sections: 
Sources of law: 
* Charter of the IMT
* Customary law
* Laws of war
* Nuremberg Principles
* Peremptory norm
* Rome Statute
* UN Charter
Crimes: 
* Crime against international law
* Crime against humanity
* Crime against peace
* Crime of apartheid
* Crime of genocide
* War crime
* War of aggression
We could probably add a few international conventions (Geneva, Hague, Genocide, Torture) to the sources section as well.  I'm not sure what to do with Command responsibility and Universal jurisdiction.

Talk:Bytown and Prescott Railway

message: A previous contributor to this page suggests that the intended purpose of Bytown and Prescott Railway was to transport logs, (from Bytown) "which hitherto had to be floated down the Ottawa River to Montreal and thence to Quebec City to be loaded onto ships bound for Europe."
However, it was square timber that was floated down the Ottawa for export to Europe from the port of Quebec. The idea of carrying logs or timber from the Ottawa River to the St. Lawrence River, seems useless if the intended destination was Quebec, as the logs would still have to be driven down river from Prescott, the same as they would have from Bytown. It was customary for sawmill owners to form their logs into booms for delivery to the mill. Individual logs were sent through the timber slide bypassing the Chaudière Falls, then collected into booms below, as large rafts were broken down into smaller cribs to go through the slides.
The chief reason for building the Bytown and Prescott Railway, was to carry the sawn lumber from the mills of Bytown, to connect with an American railway at Ogdensburg, New York to distribute the products of the Ottawa Valley trough the eastern seaboard.
The fact that Thomas McKay was its chief promotor, is a clear indication why its terminus in New Edinburgh was the intended destination of this railway. One of the reasons for its failure was that most of mills of Ottawa were located closer to Chaudière Falls, or some distance from the railway. Renamed the Ottawa and Prescott Railway in 1855, it could not even attract the business of McKay's mill. McKay had leased the mill in 1853 to James MacLaren. One of MacLaren's partners, was Moss Kent Dickinson, well known in the forwarding trade, with a line of barges, transporting lumber on the Rideau Canal between Ottawa and Kingston.
I find it amazing the number of Wikipedians interested in railway history in Ontario, Canada. Wikipedia says everything must include wiki links, however I find it difficult to link anything (besides geography) to a story that contains little facts. Wrecksdale Wreck 00:41, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
