Talk:Prosperity certificate

message: This article needs to be retitled to 'Alberta Prosperity Certificate', as that indicates where in Canada this currency was issued. - (203.211.72.242 (talk) 06:37, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: This needs to be retitled

message: I do understand that the program was discontinued after about one year, which would be around mid August of 1937. What is not explained very clearly is why a worker would accept being paid with these, for doing a dollar's worth of work, but then have to buy a one cent stamp out of his or her own pocket for every week beyond the date of issue of August 12, 1936. If a worker was paid on July 28, 1937, then that worker would have to buy 50 one cent stamps and then stick all of them on the $1 Prosperity Certificate to validate it before it could be spent. Why would someone do a dollar's worth of work and knowingly accept 50 cents instead? So, what was the point of using these, when the longer they were in effect, they lost one cent per week (with the starting date of August 12, 1936 printed in plain view on the back) in effective value because the owner had to buy a one cent stamp for each week from that starting date before spending it? If this program had kept going, after two years, anyone being paid with these would be in effect be paying $1.04 out of their own pocket in order to buy $1 worth of anything with these, losing 4 cents on the deal plus working for free? Of course that doesn't make sense, so, what's the rest of the story on how these were used? Linstrum (talk) 04:39, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Frédéric Joliot-Curie

message: What political reasons? Is there a source? Was it becasue he was a communist? Because he gave info to the soviets? Due to american pressure - we can speculate, but it would be good to know.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.231.182.113 (talk) 06:35, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Did he go by Joliot-Curie or simply Joliot? I know Irene went by the hyphenated version but there seems to be a lot less consensus on Frédéric. Searching the web, I see lots of entries with both. 
*NobelPrize.org: Joliot
*Lawrence and His Laboratory: Joliot
*Encyclopedia Brittanica: Ambiguous. Refers to him as Joliot individually until 1926, then calls them both Joliot-Curies and refers to him by his first name only.

Talk:John T. Flynn

message: I don't think that you can be a "classical liberal" and a "paleoconservative" at the same time. Perhaps whoever chose the latter was looking for "neoconservative", which is very different. I don't think there's any argument that Flynn was a "classical liberal" though. James James 03:15, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I work at an institution that is often described using both terms. Paleocons arguably borrowed from the earlier classical liberals with regards to economic liberalism (free markets). Both labels are frequently applied to libertarians, and Flynn was pretty close to qualifying for that moniker. Dick Clark 15:49, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

text: As someone who appreciates Flynn's book and agrees with the characterization of it, this seems like a fair point to me – the language does seem unfairly biased in favor.

message: I have cut down the career section noticeably: It was a very long prose
listing of roles of dubious notability, which belong in the cinematography.
Due to unclarities in the original formulations (and my own lack of detail
knowledge), I have left the first paragraph roughly as it was. I suspect
that the article would benefit from further cuts here. In a judgement, call I
have kept most of his recent activities; however, these too may benefit from
cuts.

thread_title: Modern-day identity of Yesler Hill

message: Personally, I think that Yesler Hill is redundant and probably just yet another name for First Hill, whereas Magnolia seems like the probable seventh hill seeing as it was both built and within Seattle city limits by 1900 (unlike Crown Hill or West Seattle). However, I'm following the source because HistoryLink is generally very reliable, and I've already spent an amount of time on this page that is disproportionate to its importance....

thread_title: Correct list of hills?

message: I have added a few brief remarks with some links to give context to the '7 hills' notion. If anyone knows if the tradition is decidedly descended from Rome, that should be added, but as I neither know that nor really expect it to be true, I only mentioned Rome as a prominent and historically important example of another 7-hill city. 63.226.230.76 07:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Seven Hills Mythology Around the World

message: The article previously stated "Second Hill or Renton Hill – both names have passed out of common usage; it referred to an area roughly centered at 18th Avenue and Madison Street, and in present-day parlance would be considered to constitute upper Capitol Hill and upper First Hill[1][2]" I have replaced that with a link to Cherry Hill, and a mention of the past names.
This area is known as Cherry Hill. It's reflected in the name of the Cherry Hill Swedish Campus, the Cherry Hill neighborhood, and many business names. Although how official this name is may be questioned, it does appear to be the current name for what was known as Renton Hill. It historically and presently it's separated from Capitol Hill by Madison Street. There's also a valley separating it from First Hill, and I've never heard it called "upper First Hill". The proper thing to call it would appear to be Cherry Hill.
I'm not an experienced contributor, so if someone is watching this page I would appreciate a quick double check of what I wrote.

Talk:America Is in the Heart

message: I removed this, not for lack of notablity but I could find no verification for it.
In October 2005 a minor controversy arose at the University of Washington. Although the book had earlier been declared the required freshman year read (a university wide effort for all freshmen to critically respond to the same book at the same time), University officials reversed their position, listing the novel instead as the "Number 3, Suggested Reading", citing the book's age, its unabashed ethnocentrism, and its notoriously unreliable narrator.
