Talk:Boris Schapiro

message: Schapiro is not identified by the Library of Congress (no LCCN), hence not at WorldCat (no auto-generated homepage, as we link in the footer of most English-language writer biographies). One other Boris Schapiro, rather prolific and writing in German, has been identified by some authorities --that is, his works supposedly distinguished from others (VIAF search).
Direct LC search (now 2 hits)
Direct search at WorldCat hits, among much else, no other work by this Boris Schapiro, i judge, except the co-author credit with Reese for Bridge, Card by Card.
Section Boris Schapiro#Books (3) is thus complete w ref what I understand to be all of the works by this B.S. in LCCat or WorldCat.

Talk:Drua

message: The picture captioned "Fijian Druas" (which shows canoe with numerous paddlers) is wrong. Fijian Drua were not paddled - they were far too big and heavy. The source of the picture in question is the New York Public Library Digital Collections where it is captioned "Terreeoboo, King of Owhyhee, bringing presents to Captain Cook". 
Firstly, Captain Cook never landed in Fiji. The closest he came to Fiji, was a distant sighting of the island we now call 'Vatoa'. 
Secondly, "Owhyee" was Cook's way of spelling of "Hawaii". 
Thirdly, the same picture appears in the Wikipedia entry for Hawaii.
Here is a photo of a large drua lying, with sails furled, off the beach at Nasova (Levuka) https://maa.cam.ac.uk/maa/wp-content/gallery/fiji-chiefs-and-governors/P.99803.VH_web.jpg

Talk:Martin Greif

message: Deleting warnings - FUR Template appears to have been done
I knew Martin Greif and Lawrence Grow very well.  I worked for them at Main Street Press in Pittstown from 1981-1988.  They were like gay parents to me!  I learned a great deal from them and dream about them quite often.  That might be what drove me to look for any information about them here.  I have letters that I received from both of them prior to my employment with them and quite a few photos as well.  DWRolfe (talk) 20:06, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for sharing that. It is hard to believe that well over 20 years have passed since the old stone home on Kingtown Road was sold and they boogied off to Ireland. One could get a headache thinking about whether the move was actually because they knew what fate had in store for them (indeed Larry died just several years later) - we'll never know because Martin was so secretive about it, even in the year of his own death, telling everyone he had Addisons Disease (perhaps that being a puzzle-type clue). 68.147.40.68 (talk) 21:35, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Golden Hockey Stick

message: I have found it impossible to get a complete list of winners of this prestigious award from anywhere on the web.  Maybe others can help.
I found a list of various national award winners at:
however, it is a talk page so can't necessarily be trusted.
Also, I am not entirely certain of what the award is for.  I have seen "best European player" and "best International player in Europe."  It seems to be, perhaps, the best European player in international tournaments.Roger 03:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Award winners 

message: In the months since this article was begun, no one has come forward to add to the list or suggest that the award exists at all.  I posed a question on the European Hockey Forum but got no response.  There are virtually no mentions of it on the internet.  The A to Z hockey dictionary doesn't mention it.  I believe it has been confused with the award that began in Czechoslovakia in the late 1960's, and that the few references that do exist are probably in error. Roger 03:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Opel Manta

message: While the Skyhawk may have replaced the Opel Manta in Buick dealerships, I think that calling it the Manta's successor is a bit strong, and no different than accepting the Vauxhall Firenza as it's predecessor - it sort of was, in the UK market at least.
In any case, Car B cannot really succeed Car A until Car A is taken out of production. Not only was the Manta produced until 1988, but was also sold parallel to the Skyhawk during 1975. The actual US market successor was in any case not the Buick, but rather the Opel Isuzu which went on sale as a '76, as quoted in Standard Catalog of Imported Cars (pp 472, 479). I still question the necessity of listing a successor for a car which remained in production for another 13 years; it seems rather americentric.
Awaiting further comments, I moved the Skyhawk to the Manta A infobox (since it didn't replace the Manta as a whole), but will replace it with Opel Isuzu.

replies: text: Agree citing it as an overall successor is too strong. If the Buick Skyhawk is to be mentioned here, it makes most sense in the Manta A info box where it now sits. Possibly add the Opel Isuzu rather than replacing it? Splateagle (talk) 10:26, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Removed reference to Benita Hume being Cyril's sister. There is no evidence which supports this statement. Cyril and his siblings were all born in New York; Benita was born in England. The 1910 Census for Cyril's family does not indicate any children younger than Cyril in the family.

Talk:Eadburh

message: It seems that there is quite a lot written about Eadburh, and that this could easily be expanded to a quite sizable article. Most of it is "context" rather than about her life specifically, but here we go:
* Her marriage as the cause of Ecgberht's exile, reasons &c.
* The presumption that ealdorman Worr was her intended victim.
* Evidence that she was in Italy (Brescia liber vitae)
* Comparison with Judith, Mercian queens. 
* "Truth-telling Alfred", but what's the point of telling the story?
Would be nice if we could have one FA-class article on an Anglo-Saxon woman. Perhaps this isn't the most promising - Æthelflæd would be much easier, as would Qs Emma and Edith - but GA class should be easy enough. Angus McLellan  (Talk) 20:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Heinrich von Morungen

message: I just found this text on the article page and moved it here: This article is mostly translated from that in the German Wikipedia.
Ideally, per WP:translate, the exact version of the German page that this was translated from could be found and we would include a translation template, but for now it's better to note the translation on the talk page than on the article page.  Sindinero (talk) 12:24, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Translation

message: The source I found states: "According to Burkhard Kippenberg & Lorenz Welker in Grove Music Online (2004), 33 Minnelieder survive, all but one without melodies: in the Codex Buranus (Dmbs Clm 4660) the strophe Ich bin keiser âne króne appears with neumes."  This means that most likely no melody that can be clearly attributed to Heinrich Morungen seems to have survived, except perhaps one, despite several being credited to him. However the source still gives one minnelieder who survived with melody. I'm far from an expert so I decided to leave the entry as it was before. Hopefully someone with a better knowledge could rewrite better that part.Mistico Dois (talk) 00:37, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

message: The calcultation of the oil in the world has an abundance unseen from the naked eye.  By using the mathmatics of the true intellect of the individual mind there should be only one outcome that is a combination of mathmatics and physics.  That percentage of oil remains unknown in the U.S.A. to the public notifaction. "Authority,
instead of analyzing times fatigue, should focus on the important necessities of each oil to find a solution as well as a combination that can allow a sufficient solution as far as satisfaction without slacking.  From these words is there possible evaluation of credibility for the considerance from this source.  To make my point. What are chemists doing instead of trying to work with the percentage of the oil needed for more than one thing by combining them into two for one? Therefore mathmatics and physics would be the next step if global warming is an issue. To then find how it affects the environment in an virtual aspect.  Instead of "majority" who choose to misuse or overindulge for unnessessary. There are too many dillemmas in secluar vision that aren't accounted for that remain unseen while this needs to continue.
The wake up's domino affect is in suspense if you know what I mean. 
If you don't know more diverse individuals can find these solution until the problem is resolved seeming how the percentage of positions that cover these areas and angles are provided for diversity without discrimination. Discrimination is also aimed at authority to show there is ignorance in the eye of authority. Overlooking this fact will only provoke more diversity without assistance and preventing assistance from the diverse in positions with creditials to volunteers with a good ear to expand on the situation.

:Since it's not just a list that title isn't descriptive of the article, it contains more than just a list of players, hence the title is descriptive of its contents.

Talk:Bing Lee

message: I currently work for Bing Lee's web development/content management team and I would like to edit some things about this page, or ask for them to be edited. I'm aware there are conflict of interest guidelines and want to do this properly without violating any of Wikipedia's rules.
For instance:
* the number of stores has changed (new stores have opened in Wodonga and Drummoyne) and the number of franchises is also out of date
* area served shouldn't be "Sydney", as there are stores throughout NSW and ACT (and technically one in Victoria though the Wodonga store is only just over the border)
* the company slogan is no longer "everything's negotiable" so the logo is out of date.
Would it be OK for me to change those things, would someone else like to edit them, and if so what kind of documentation/reference would you need?
