Talk:USS Trego

message: Sirs,
I  recently sent you a copy of the true log that I kept whjen I served on the USS Trego for 14 months from the time she was commissioned, until I was discharged fron the service. I kept the log on a running basis as thr actual events happened.  I still have the original log book.  I am wondering why all of the articles I read have left out the fact that the ship was run aground in Oyster Bay during itds shakedown cruise, and then had to spend several weeks in the Brooklyn Navel yard to have 22 plates removed and as well as having to have the screw removed and replaced with a new screw.  I assume you received the copy of my log, which contains that information and yet I still finmd no mention of that incident.
Clif Rockwell (Crockywell@aol.com)
PS, since I wrote the log concurrent with all hapenings mentioned in the log, and it well preceeds the written information in your article, no copyright can take precedence over my information

Talk:Zavoyko

message: I realize that this fails as a disambiguation page. However, Zavoico is a fairly common Russian surname, and to me, that warrants inclusion within Wikipedia. OtherBob, I guarantee you this will be worked on. This article was started for a friend and I intend to improve it to a usable quality. It just might take a while before it gets there, as I've got a lot of other stuff going on.
Besides, look at Grand Slam. Many of the uses of the term don't have articles, but they're still useful and included. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 23:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Berthoud Pass

message: I don't know if the avalanche section about the event early this year is really all that notable. I personally don't think it should remain. No one was killed and I bet there are avalanches in the area every year. I will wait a few days or so, and if no one objects, I will remove the section. JeffreyN 23:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The avalanche was rather large and unprecedented for that area - avalanches are common there, but never one that big.  I think there should be a mention about it in the article somewhere, though I'm not sure that it was notable enough to warrant its own section.  Perhaps remove the section and a line to the paragraph about Highway 40 to the effect "The highway is occasionally closed due to avalanche activity.  The largest recorded occured on (whatever date), measured (how ever many feet) across, and crossed the highway in three different places.  Cars were swept from the road but there were no fatalities."  Or something like that.  Adagio 21:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe the section could be labeled Avalanche history and a few summary paragraphs provided for the few events for which cites are available.   I'm thinking like what is in Mount Hood#Incident history.  —EncMstr 22:06, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Avalanches, though unfortunate, are still common in the backcountry. Individual avalanche reports are available from CAIC (Colorado Avalanche Information Center). Listing every single one on relevant articles is a bit insane, IMHO. This is old, but I'm going to remove it later if there are no objects. 24.3.60.243 (talk) 22:55, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

"The archive got a significant boost when Google began submitting its notices in 2002.

replies: text: Not sure where you're having trouble;the two sentences are worded well. In 2002, Scientologists pressured Google to remove links to the anti-Scientology website Operation Clambake. Google began to share these and all cease-and-desist notices it received with Chilling Effects which, because of Google's size, added to the size of the Chilling Effects archive.

Talk:Center for UFO Studies

message: Many of the problems that led to the multiple issues box being placed at the top of the article have since been removed. The advertisement-style wording has been eliminated, including the "Mission Statement" box, and replaced by more neutral wording. Additionally, other sources, including comments by non-CUFOS ufologist James W. Moseley, have been added (Moseley admired Hynek, but was more critical of other people associated with CUFOS, and became critical of the organization itself after Hynek's death). The Skeptical Inquirer has even been cited at the beginning of the article. I would suggest that the multiple issues box can be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.229.162 (talk) 18:22, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, if it suits things here more proper, I'll excise that particular passage of this article, due to it's lack of being an official cited source (just possible hearsay from another WP user), and since you all have brought up some good points that I failed to realize when I previously edited/created this article.  MII probably was a good format initially, it was probably the lack of service & support from Panasonic, not the build quality of MII hardware, that was its demise, I would assume. misternuvistor 18:40, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Arthur Lichte

message: This article currently has just one stated source, the official U.S. military bio for Arthur Lichte.  I see two problems:  1.) the official U.S. military bios are slanted, in that they do not convey information that would reflect poorly on the military (compare the official bio of Frank Kelso, involved in the Tailhook scandal, vs. a better written wikipedia article on him using several other sources), and 2.) the article does not show which material is copied.  Copied material should be in quotes (quotation marks or set in block quote formatting), to separate from wikipedia editor wording.  Hence I mark this article with the "refimprove" tag. doncram (talk) 05:06, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Heckelphone-clarinet

message: I changed 'clarinet fingering' to 'clarinet-like fingering', because an instrument overblowing at the octave can't have the same fingering as a clarinet; the latter's fingering is in part driven by its overblowing at the twelfth.  But I'm not particularly happy with 'clarinet-like fingering' either.  There are, after all, several different clarinet fingering systems.  Which is the heckelphone-clarina's fingering supposed to resemble?  I would guess the Albert system, but I don't know.  -- Rsholmes 00:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Fingering

message: I'm going out on a limb and re-asserting the instrument is in E-flat.  First of all, Dullat says so (and if he is wrong, the Dullat citation should not be attached herein to the altered claim; that's one reason I changed it back.)  Second, look at the picture: to me it appears the instrument is a good deal larger than a soprano saxophone, about the same length (accounting for curves) as an alto, and much smaller than a tenor.  This of course doesn't prove it wasn't notated in B-flat (or G-flat, or C-sharp -- notation is purely a matter of convention) but I would expect it to have been notated similarly to saxophones.  Heckel's 1931 catalog has been cited as a source and of course that would be fairly authoritative.  If you've actually looked at the catalog very recently and are certain it says B-flat, then by all means change this article back -- but please move the Dullat citation (or remove it, and I'll reattach it somewhere appropriate) and add the Heckel catalog as a new reference. Oh, and the neck looks more like an alto clarinet's than a bass's to me.  -- Rsholmes 12:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Then B-flat is undoubtedly correct.  However, it is not correct to attribute the statement that it's in B-flat to Dullat, who says E-flat.  Please supply a citation of the catalog in the article. -- Rsholmes 01:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Foretelling

message: As it seems that we're going to have an edit war otherwise, there is simply no reason to have a "historical context" section on a fictional television program article when said program is a) not aiming for accuracy, and b) is following an alternative history format in the first place.  There is no historical context of value other than the setting of the program.  Every character in the series is fictionalized, and the main character(s) never existed as they have been portrayed in the program.  Therefore, to say that "so-and-so was the X in such-and-such a year" is trivial, because it has no bearing on the program, because that person does not appear in the program.  I'd also venture so far as to call it WP:OR or WP:SYNTH, because nothing has ever been written about relating actual history to the Blackadder series saying "so-and-so was X in the year such-and-such, but was portrayed by so-and-so in Blackadder."  For that reason, I have deleted the historical context section in all of the episode articles. MSJapan (talk) 07:22, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No, there isn't going to be an edit war. It's just common courtesy to other editors to use cleanup tags and discuss things before going in and deleting big chunks of content with no discussion whatsoever.

I guess there's no stopping you, given that you waited all of 23 hours for further discussion, before reverting my reversion (did someone mention an edit war?). It's a pity you aren't prepared to engage with other editors or even familiarise yourself with the concept of consensus. I was about to make some points, but frankly I can't be bothered. It's a small article, there are few other editors interested, and in cases like this, deletionists always get their way. Good luck with your future endeavours.
