thread_title: St. Joseph County Population

message: This column is sort of haphazard.  We don't need to say "Formed from" over and over - the column implies that.  Knox County is listed as Original; it came from SOMEWHERE, i.e. it was carved out of the Northwest Territory's Vincennes Tract, which essentially represented a 1742 purchase by France from the Piankeshaw Indians.  Saying a county was formed from 'Unorganized' or 'Non-county land' is superfluous - just leave the column blank.  What is really meant there is that the county was formed from land resulting from an Indian Removal Act or purchase by Treaty, and we should list the Treaty, like "St. Mary's New Purchase" for the Treaty of St. Mary's (1818).  A few entries are just plain wrong; whatever source was used (probably a genealogy website) is dubious.  Genealogy websites are notorious; they're not interested in history and aren't scholarly about citing their sources.

message: I coincidentally stumbled over  depicting the Galapagos islands, and noticed that the longitude grid is labeled "Longitude West from the Lizard". The file description mentions that "[t]he map continues to use longitude reckoned from The Lizard, a cape in western Cornwall, rather than the Greenwich Observatory". When considering that this map is a revised version of a map by W. A. Cowley by John Russel, I presume that 'continues' in this context could mean that the use of The Lizard as a reference of longitude was common in Cowley's time and/or that he was customary to using it so. Maybe some research into that topic could find interesting results. --15000 Röntgen (talk) 19:18, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

message: I think it is a great idea to merge the two articles.  When you hear articles about the race, it doesn't say the men's race and then the women's (except when telling the date & time of the races) it says the Indiana University Little 500. The women's race was created well after the men's race, and it shares many of the same traditions.  I disagree with the comment that the history and identity would be lost because this is a simple copy and paste job.  However, the Women's race should have just as much separate information as the men's race.
I'm not sure if the two events are separate enough to be individual articles, or if the Women's race article should be merged into the main article. --Christopherlin 21:43, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that there is a substantial copy and paste job because I am the one that did most of that copy and pasting. I wrote the women's article first and then I felt that the men's article had insufficient information, so I copied and pasted over from there and changed all of the pronoun genders. I do have major concerns with merging the articles because I am afraid that the history of the women's race will be lost. The two races were started for different reasons. I think that this is important to know. We can merge, but it will be sticky... Bleach Babe 01:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
