Talk:1979 Bangladeshi general election

message: Did Rahman really have a seat? Newer election articles tend to fill in that parameter with any district although the person didn't even participate in the election, e. g. Hussain Muhammad Ershad who was not able to even run in the 2001 election but yet had a seat attached to his name. (I've corrected it recently and replaced the seat with could not contest.) I don't believe that a sitting President would run for a parliamentary seat. It would definitely not make sense for Ershad in 1986 and 1988, as it was clear that he would win the election, so he didn't need a parliamentary seat as compensation for a potential loss. I'm not fully sure with this election here from 1979, as it is described as "credible" and as Rahman was taking the will of parliament into account, which sounds democratic, so maybe Rahman couldn't be sure to win and secured his potential career with a seat. However, I do not really believe that either, as (although founding one of the major parties) he does not seem like someone who would seek the career of a normal politician but rather like someone who did what was necessary to stabilize the country and occasionally slipped into politics. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 22:10, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

message: English
Bangla
Government Hazi Mohammad Mohsin College (Bengali: সরকারি হাজী মুহাম্মদ মহসীন কলেজ) (alternative spelling Government Hazi Muhammad Mohsin College) is a government college in Chittagong, Bangladesh and one of the oldest educational institutions in Bangladesh. It was established in British India and has a rich history, spanning over 100 years. The college is named after Muhammad Mohsin, the 19th-century philanthropist. This public college primarily offers higher secondary education (years 11-12) in the national curriculum of Bangladesh. It also offers higher educational degrees in various disciplines under the affiliation of Bangladesh National University.
সরকারী হাজী মোহাম্মদ মহসিন কলেজ (বাঙালি: মঙ্গি মুহূর্ত মহসিন কলেজ) (বিকল্প বানান সরকারী হাজী মুহাম্মদ মহসিন কলেজ) বাংলাদেশের চট্টগ্রাম এবং একটি প্রাচীনতম শিক্ষাপ্রতিষ্ঠানের একটি সরকারি কলেজ। এটি ব্রিটিশ ভারতে প্রতিষ্ঠিত হয়েছিল এবং এর একটি সমৃদ্ধ ইতিহাস রয়েছে, যা 100 বছরেরও বেশি সময় ধরে রয়েছে। কলেজটির নামকরণ করা হয়েছে ১৯ শতকের জনহিতিক মুহাম্মদ মহসিনের নামে। এই পাবলিক কলেজটি প্রাথমিকভাবে বাংলাদেশের জাতীয় পাঠ্যক্রমগুলিতে উচ্চ মাধ্যমিক শিক্ষা (11-12 বছর) সরবরাহ করে offers এটি বাংলাদেশ জাতীয় বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের অধিভুক্ত অধীনে বিভিন্ন শাখায় উচ্চতর শিক্ষাগুলিও সরবরাহ করে।  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.145.187.251 (talk) 09:36, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

message: The following copied from my talk for wider audience. Vsmith (talk) 23:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Read the ref I provided. Afwillite is a rare mineral so how can it be a significant component in making such a common product? Also, take a look at the portland cement page - no mention of it there. Vsmith (talk) 11:57, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Pardon my jumping in. I don't have access to the Megaw paper, but other more recent documents indicate that afwillite has been used, in laboratory settings, to test improved setting rates in cements (without success, incidentally). Many, many sources indicate afwillite's presence as a product of cement crystallization, and none that I could find indicate it as an initial component of the mix, including AIME's volumes on Industrial Minerals and Rocks, virtually the bible for things like sources of materials for cement and uses of minerals. As Vsmith points out, even if sometime, someplace some afwillite was added to a cement mixture, its rarity means that is not possible for it to be routinely used on a large scale, and therefore such mention does not belong in the encyclopedia.  Cheers Geologyguy (talk) 16:41, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

text: This should probably be moved to the Afwillite talk page, but - google "portland cement" + components + afwillite --> only 99 hits, some of which are pay sites, but those that are not are about afwillite as a product of cement crystallization. Googling "portland cement"+ components (i.e., no mention of afwillite) gets 262,000 hits. The book I mentioned above is published by the AIME. Cheers Geologyguy (talk) 17:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Transportation in Seattle

message: This should probably be expanded to cover the number of miles of city streets, etc. When someone does that, they might wish to mention the following for historic perspective, citable from Fleming, S. E. (1919), Civics (supplement): Seattle King County, Seattle: Seattle Public Schools, p. 35.
* As of December 31, 1915, Seattle had 241 miles of paved streets, 141 miles of planked streets, 688 miles of sidewalk and 469 miles of sewers and drains.
* "From 1911 to 1915, the number of horse-drawn vehicles [in the city] showed a decrease of 60 per cent over against an increase of 220 per cent for motor vehicles," requiring streets to be "kept in better shape, because the motor vehicles cannot pass over streets with mud as the horse-drawn vehicles can."

thread_title: Streets

message: I did some serious work on the mass transit section (previously the Public Transit), first changing the name to thus since the section also addresses Zipcar.
*There were a lot of proofreading errors so I took stuff out, added stuff in, and changed the overall tone of the section to maintain encyclopedic neutrality. I added information about the expanding streetcar network and a little about the downtown tunnel.
*As far as the pictures are concerned: there are too many at the top of the article, so I will remove [File:Seattle street work 05.jpg] because it least demonstrates the article content. The picture of the Pugetpasses in the Mass Transit section is also outdated, so I will replace that with one of the new ORCA readers.
*I will also add a small paragraph about the new ORCA system in the mass transit section so the picture corresponds.
If anyone disagrees with what I've done, put it here. Sherwelthlangley (talk) 04:35, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:List of Seattle Seahawks players

message: There are four players listed; Franco Harris, Steve Largent, Carl Eller and Warren Moon.  While it is true all four played for the Seahawks, three of them, Eller, Moon and Harris, played for one season or less with minimal overall contribution to the team.  They were inducted into the Hall of Fame based on their play for other teams and thus were inducted as members of those teams (with only a mention of their play for other teams).  Only Steve Largent was inducted as a Seahawk and is the only one of the four in the Seahawks' own "Ring of Honor" (as seen here). 
*Hall of Fame listings, by year of induction:
Harris (1990)
Largent (1995)
Eller (2004)
Moon (2006)
I would suggest that either Harris, Eller and Moon should be removed completely from the list or a caveat added that they were not inducted for achievements during their time as Seahawks.OneHappyHusky (talk) 21:39, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  LA Meetup: February 17, 2024 

message: Hello all, I have added to the Talk page for this article because the title and topic are inaccurate and can be confusing. In brief: the article as it is now seems to discuss two separate agencies as though they were one and covers topics outside the historical scope of these agencies as they existed. So I have proposed that the article, along with its title, needs to be edited to clarify that these were two separate agencies and to potentially allow for a greater scope of topics. If anyone has any comments and suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them!Christopher Arturo Aragón Vides (talk) 04:38, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:1979 Hardie-Ferodo 1000

message: Some of the A9X Toranas that ran in the 1979 Hardie were sedans rather than hatchbacks and were therefore SLR5000 A9Xs rather than as SS5000 A9Xs. Photos in Australian Motor Racing Year, 1979/80 show cars 14 & 11 to be sedans and Autopics (http://www.autopics.com.au/cache/list-409public__0-0.html?cache=no) shows that car 24 was also a sedan. Were the other A9Xs which are shown without “Hatchback” in the description also sedans? If so they also should be listed as SLRs. Cheers, GTHO (talk) 07:49, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Since I really don't have to have sources for something I put on a talk page, I'll venture a guess that they're all named for William Henry Harrison, the hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe, and later a U. S. President. His war record made him a very popular fellow, especially in this part of the US. I don't have any sources for this, so it's all original research, meaning that it can't be in a "real" article, although it's OK here. Merenta (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
