message: Under threats section it is stated that the Mountain pine beetle spreads blister rust. Should it be Blue stain fungus? --Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:09, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Blue stain fungus

message: I edited this to change the sort order on the page for the :Category:Pinus.  It had been set to alphabetize under Pine.  That might make sense for categories where there are a lot of trees and a few of them are pines; then all the pines group together.  But on the page where everything is a pine, it made more sense to alphabetize under Whitebark.   71.126.140.136 (talk) 11:46, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The USGS doesn't capitalise "whitebark pine", so is it correct that this article does? Is there some wikipedia convention? Additionally the capitalisation isn't consistent; sometimes it's "Whitebark pine", therefore something's wrong somewhere. Malleus Fatuorum 01:10, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Almost all Wikipedia article names are capitalized per the MOS:NAME convention, such as Automobile, even though one would not capitalize that in a sentence, unless it was the first word.

replies: text: Thanks, but I wasn't asking about the article name; in the body of this article the tree was referred to variously as "Whitebark Pine" and "Whitebark pine". I don't mind which is considered to be correct, just wanted it to be consistent. Malleus Fatuorum 01:50, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: In my view, to make these changes BEFORE the RM had concluded was wrong; it prejudges the outcome of the RM. The majority of uses were upper case, so since consistency is the prime principle, it would have been better to have gone this way unless and until the move was agreed.

Talk:Wildcat Canyon Regional Park

message: I have no official sources for this information so I am adding it here.
I grew up on Arlington Blvd. in El Cerrito in the 1950s-60s. Every other week end in the late 50s there was a column of military vehicles including tanks,jeeps,and personnel transport vehicles that would proceed up Arlington to Rifle Range Road and then down to the range at the bottom of Wildcat Canyon.They would fire large caliber weapons (we recovered 20 mm and .50 caliber projectiles in later years from the site)as well as machine guns and other weapons with could be clearly heard from our house, a good 2 miles away.As kids we used to hike up to each target and inspect them. There were deep trenches lined with heavy timber where soldiers raised and lowered the targets. Some of these targets were way up the hillside,maybe 500 yards. Others were at different distances.
The tanks going up Arlington ruined the pavement and it had to be replaced in the early 1960s.No tanks ever used the new pavement and the firing range was used for National Guard and Police agencies until the 1970s. All of the target trenches were filled in by the park service.
Also there was a horse stable just South of where Rifle Range Road bottoms out. I believe there were horses for rent but I'm not sure of this.All evidence of these stables were eliminated by the park service.
There was an old house near the bottom of Rifle Range Road. Someone was living there at least into the 1960s. It has been demolished and nearly no sign of it remains.
The Nike Base which used to extend all the way along the ridge was in operation during the 1950s and early 60s and was later completely eliminated. For years kids used to visit the abandoned silos and buildings.
Every few years the canyon used to be visited by Mountain Lions. I personally had a very close encounter with these cats at night alone while camping in the bramble on the West side. BrianAlex (talk) 23:16, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

We need to give info that cant be found on the website!! also i think we can use the news section to help us figure out how the ACC uses itz funds and who wins and what they get out of gettin the awards. also, if there are any numbers abt how many ppl apply for the grants etc, we shud include that as well! that will show other ppl how popular/imp. this council is. also, make sure we dun use the website's language. Like if they say they are "dedicated, compassionate, etc... " that is not what we want!! ok right now the page has a few probs.. there are pics in the wrong places and the spacings have all gone BLAH... also i think the part ian did shud be put in another section... and it looks too crowded.. how shud we make it look more attractive?? i'll try organizing the pics now... 0101kikz06 10:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Please note: At the time that Ide arrived in Sacramento, there was no such entity as "Sutter's Fort." There was a man named John Augustus Sutter who owned some buildings on some high ground in what is now midtown Sacramento, but it was not called "Sutter's Fort." It was just the place where Sutter lived, and a gathering place for people who who had just arrived in Sacramento hoping to buy supplies and meet people. It was a safe haven for many (including the Donner party) who arrived in Sacramento with less than they started out with. It was Captain Sutter's place, but it was not called Sutter's Fort yet.

Talk:Daphne Pollard

message: I'm wondering if the writer of this article is a native English speaker because apparently Daphne came to America three times and she was either 6, 15 or 16 years old.  It's a bit confusing.
I just saw her in a 1933 Vitaphone short with Shemp Howard called The Big Flame and that's why I did a search for her.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danpetitpas (talk • contribs) 20:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs to be clearer 

message: I too have problems with the dates. Most sites accept 1892 as Pollard's birth year, and I have revised the page in accordance with this date.
BUT the IMBD entry gives 1891, which would concord with her giving her age as 16 in August 1907 (well, a couple of months early, since she was born on 19 October). This would also match her leaving the Pollard company that autumn (er, fall) when she reached the age of 16.
HOWEVER, her grave (photographed here), which is inscribed "Daphne Pollard Bunch / beloved sister", gives her year of birth as 1893. Since actresses of her generation not infrequently adjusted their ages -- Rosalinde Fuller (1892–1982), who shared the Folies Bergère stage with Pollard in Zig-Zag! (1919), dropped all of nine years off hers -- there is a fair chance that Pollard did so too. But this implies that the sibling who worded the gravestone colluded in the deception.
I have searched for a record of her birth (as Trott), without success.
