Talk:Volga–Baltic Waterway

message: I've added a map relating to the details of the Volga-Baltic Waterway itself, and a second map showing its relationship to Europe and European Russia generally.  I always thought the connecting up of the Baltic Sea with the Black and Caspian Seas was interesting, and I understand it was an important historical consideration, but that actually not much traffic/shipping takes place all the way through, so I hope I haven't overstated things. The second map is as much just to 'locate' the Waterway in a wider area.  I like what the Volga River article says about the canals and natural waterways connecting Moscow "to the White Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea", although it makes the point about changes in European-Russian relationships leading to increased foreign traffic.  I think it would be in keeping and perhaps enhance the Volga River article to have a similar image there as well, removing the box accentuating the Volga-Baltic waterway, and adding the White-Baltic Canal, and labelling the Volga-Don Canal.

thread_title:  More Maps! 

message: This should be in the intro. Is it a canal? A series of canals? Does it use the rivers? Does it parallel the rivers? etc. You know, the basics: starts and A with river/canal X, connects through Y, ends with river/canal Z at B. We start with saying it's a series of canals, but then refer to it as "the" canal. I think -- it's often hard to decipher what is being referred to. — kwami (talk) 12:36, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Labotsibeni Thandile Ndwandwe of Swaziland

message: This empty page conflates the names of two important Queens of Swaziland who ruled as regents. Tsandzile Ndwandwe (siSwati spelling; Thandile is isiZulu) was the mother of Mswati II & was regent in the late 1830s. Labotsibeni (Gwamile) Mdluli was the mother of Sobhuza II & was regent from 1899 to 1922 i.e. the first decades of British colonization. See e.g. Hilda Kuper, An African Aristocracy (NY: Africana Publishing Co., 1980 [reprint 1947 ed.]. The conflation may pose problems for work I want to do on various Swaziland related articles.

Talk:William Farrar Smith

message: This sentence appears in the "Early Life" section: 
Smith, known to his friends as "Baldy", was born at St. Albans, Vermont, a cousin of John G. Smith, and the son of Ashbel and Sarah Butler Smith.
John G. Smith currently points to the disambig page for John Smith. Is this intended to be Vermont Governor J. Gregory Smith? If so, do we have a citation? Also (if my assumption about his cousin is correct) I think we should list his parents first, and mention that he was part of Vermont's Smith political family afterwards. (If J. Gregory Smith was his cousin, then so was Worthington Curtis Smith, and John Smith (Vermont) was his uncle.)

Talk:Heidi Miller

message: I don't know if it is the same Heidi Miller. It could be because I think she became more focused on business pursuits instead of bodybuilding from what I read online. She used to own a frozen yogurt franchise on the west coast. 
Heidi might have been one of the early competitors who came out at the same time as Lisa Lyon. I'm still working on it, but hopefully somebody else still remembers her. 
I don't know if she competed as an amateur or professional. Some people back then wanted to stay amateur because they were hoping that female bodybuilding would become an Olympic sport. Some got out because they didn't want to take drugs for size. I know Heidi supported "natural" bodybuilding. From what I remember the sanctioning was different back then too and there was a lot of politics about it. 
But I agree with you, it won't be notable as it stands now.

Talk:Mount Grace State Forest

message: Mary Rowlandson's daughter was named Sarah. According to Mary's own account in her Narrative, Sarah died in her arms at the Indian swamp stronghold Winnimisset Camp near New Braintree, Massachusetts. The Indians buried Sarah and allowed Mary to visit the spot."They told me it was upon the hill--then they went and showed me where it was, where the ground was newly digged...there I left that child in the wilderness, and must commit it, and myself also, in wilderness condition to him who is above all." A beautiful marker near a green meadow in New Braintree marks the spot. Someone has lovingly terraced the marker with wildflowers.
The idea that Mary's daughter was named Grace and Mt. Grace is named after her apparently comes from an old history of Warwick, which may not be accurate, considering Mary's own words. --User:Bhanno
(relocated editorial from article CPAScott 02:03, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Mount Grace is connected with a famous episode from the era of Colonial skirmishes against the Wampanoag Indians, known as King Philip's War. In 1676, Mary Rowlandson of Lancaster (a town 40 miles to the east) was captured, along with her infant daughter Grace, by a band of King Philip's warriors. On a march toward Canada the child died, and it is said to have been buried by her mother's hands at the foot of the mountain that now bears her name. Department of Conservation and Recreation: Mount Grace State Forest  Retrieved June 28, 2006.
--section relocated here due to assertion that Mount Grace is not named after Mary Rowlandson's daughter.  Changes were made to indicate the daughter's name was Sarah, but that change is in conflict with the paragraph's citation.  Unless authentic references can be provided, I propose the history section remain out of the article.  --CPAScott 16:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: "...and Quark the dog has died of old age (as never discussed in the film)"
<BR>I've removed this line, since this constitutes Original Research. If we can't resist the urge to mention Quark's absence in this film in the lead section(I personally find it silly for people unfamiliar with the series to have to stumble upon a mention of Quark in the lead section), I would recommend we only mention what we have from viewing the film: Something like, "Quark the dog is absent from this movie." Feel free to make some variation of that statement, but don't speculate about his death or even mention it--that's Original Research. As an example, for all we know he could have run away. Hence we don't speculate or pretend we 'know' the reason for his absence in the film. Perhaps the real-life dog that portrays Quark had hip problems at the time. If that were the reason, without a Reliable Source, that wouldn't be inserted either. A one liner stating his absence would suffice, without any guessing why he's not in it.
