Talk:U.S. Route 460

message: I thought the largest city in the U.S. not served by an interstate highway was Fresno, California. Doonhamer 21:05, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Largest city in the U.S. without an interstate highway?

message: Historically the road developed from Virginia's Trader's Path, and colonization and development moved from east to west. Why does half this article refer to the road in reverse, with material cited from west (KY) to east (VA)? This seems counter-intuitive and counter-rational.Parkwells (talk) 19:59, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The parts of the article discussing the route in west to east order appears to be following a traffic engineering convention: This convention is more developed with the Interstate System, where mileposts and exit numbers increase as one goes east or north.

Talk:River blackfish

message: Best not to mention the origins of Blackfish, as are they are debated.  In any case, calling them a "Perch" (as in northern hemisphere Percidae family) is not accurate.  If one was to call them anything, it would a member of the Percichthyidae or "Temperate Perches" family.  And as I said, this is still debated.

Talk:Vatican lira

message: There are today German euro coins, Dutch euro coins, French euro coins.  But nobody speaks of "the German euro", "the Dutch euro", "the French euro".  The euro is a single currency.  
Surely it was the same for the Vatican lira coins.  The Vatican City State adopted the Italian currency, and issued lira coins within limits fixed by agreement with Italy.  But nobody spoke of a "Vatican lira" currency.  There were, for instance, no Vatican lira banknotes.
The title should be changed to "Vatican lira coins", in line with the article on Vatican euro coins?  Lima (talk) 05:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

message: While some of behaviours of Pushkin may be considered as being free spirit, he was also a loyal subject of the tsar, who granted him a personal censorship license and a position in the court. He also wrote poems and stories that praised the glory, history, and culture of Russia, and sometimes defended its interests against foreign enemies.
Reference: https://www.prlib.ru/en/news/658859
It would be much better to illustrate artists being free spirits using Banksy. Suggested replacement is
Banksy, a graffiti artist who is constantly in conflict with the authorities, is considered a "free spirit" due to his work.

Talk:Shimano Pedaling Dynamics

message: Given that people new to cycling may encounter people talking about 'SPD' or 'LOOK' pedals often and use Wiki to look up the details, I would like to see the article expanded. 
It needs linked to the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_pedal 
I found articles on line that talk more about pedals
http://www.chainreaction.com/pedalfaq.htm
Would like to write this one up, but I only have LOOK pedals to photograph & talk about- don't actually know much about SPD systems

Talk:Occupied Territories

message: Adamsky, can you provide evidence that the term "Occupied Territories" used as a proper noun has any other meaning more common than the territories occupied by Israel since the June War? Palmiro | Talk 01:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Palmiro, as yet I haven't found any sources that capitalize both words quite as often as you suggest by the "used as a proper noun" part above. But many sources refer habitually to occupied territories in the Caucasus, the Himalayas and elsewhere. Maybe I'll track down some later, if they are very necessary. //Big Adamsky 01:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not massively worried about it, though I reserve the right to become so at a later stage, if the humour takes me. However, I´m pretty sure that the vast majority of well-informed English speakers, if asked what "the Occupied Territories" meant to them, would think of the 67 territories. Equally, those territories are very often referred to as "the Occupied Territories" tout court. Taking into account WP naming conventions, that would seem to support the argument that people who type "Occupied Territories" into the search box or the address field should end up at the article about those territories. But if they end up at the "Occupied territories" article instead, where they will see a redirect notice to the other article, I don't see any great problem with that. Actually, I think it's a bit silly to have articles on entirely different topics where the "subjects" of the articles differ from each other only by capitalisation or use of singular/plural (cf Israeli settlement v. Israeli settlements). Palmiro | Talk 04:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand. Well, as you will have likely noticed, I do not disagree with you on the Israeli settlement(s) issue quite as much. I am, however, against the practice of applying a generic name to a specific ocurrance as if to suggest that it is the only such ocurrence (and not just that it is the original or best known such ocurrence). (This is a minor edit). ;] //Big Adamsky 05:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Rich black

message: I suggest removing the paragraph about using rich black to avoid trapping issues. The situation described (black text on a colour picture) would be better handled by overprinting black text instead of using rich black (assuming the size of the text is fairly small). Rich black could reduce the likelihood of a white edge from misregistration, but is just as likely to create a coloured edge on one side of the type. Overprinting small type is a far more effective solution to this problem. I'm trying to think of another theoretical situation where rich black would reduce the need for trapping, but nothing comes to mind. Anyone else have an idea? Dave Laird 01:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well... overprinting can be problematic, so some people avoid it in their workflow. E.g. in PostScript in-RIP separation colours specified as CMYK do not overprint if the PostScript standard is correctly followed. If overprinting is acceptable in the workflow, it would give superior results. Notinasnaid 17:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
