Talk:Phyllis McGinley

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates for books and articles, as well as tables for organising short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.

Talk:Kingston Pike

message: I'm going to be working on this article this week, and I have been trying to determine the eastern and western ends of Kingston Pike.  From what I can tell, the eastern end is the old L&N tracks that run just east of Alcoa Highway, and the easternmost street address is 2309 Kingston Pike (Mertron Corp.).  Beyond this, the road becomes Cumberland Avenue.  The NRHP form for the Kingston Pike Historic District says the road begins at the Neyland Drive intersection, but several places east of this intersection— Metron, Fulton Bottoms, Ossoli Circle, and Tyson Junior High— have Kingston Pike addresses.  
The western end is, presumably, the US11/US70 split at Dixie Lee Junction.  This split is about two blocks east of the Knox-Loudon line.  However, two businesses— Dixie Lee Nursery and Dixie Lee Fireworks— are located along this two-block stretch, and have "Highway 11 E" street addresses.  So, postal addresses using Kingston Pike end at the Knox County line (the westernmost appears to be the vacant Court Cafe building at 13110).  The Fireside Patio and Shop store, which occupies the wedge at the US70/US11 split, states it is located at the "end of Kingston Pike."
If anyone has any other ideas regarding the road's beginning and end, post it here within the next day or two.  Otherwise, I'll go with the above definitions.  Bms4880 (talk) 15:49, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

message: The Salazar dictatorship of Portugal had a racist classification for the people in its colonies.

Talk:James M. Strode

message: This is one example of many articles, not just on the Black Hawk War, where militia service has been confused with being in the US Army. Strode did not have a military "career" in the usual sense of that word. He was a lawyer and politician who served in the militia for brief times during emergencies. The military infobox is not really correct here, since soldiering was not his profession. —Kevin Myers 03:43, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I have heard both versions across the county.  So I am not sure whether we should put both versions (even if one is considered locally unorthodox) next to the name with the primary stress: i.e.  or - (with a note for the notes section explaining both versions are heard today).  Without lecturing the style is directly the same as Abingdon, not one of the word harbinger which in my view has seeped into some people's minds.  This is one where slightly more input is required than just one editor, particularly from those who are younger but still know the area. - Adam37 Talk 09:36, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Limpsfield

message: I propose that Limpsfield Chart be merged into Limpsfield. I think that the content in the Limpsfield Chart article can easily be explained in the context of Limpsfield, and the Limpsfield article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Limpsfield Chart will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.  Guidance is available in WP:UKVILLAGES and the degree of buffer zone must be considered, and not just to the extent this is a numerical divide.  In particular, you may be better placed than I to state whether any historic and cultural ties remain with Limpsfield. The model of a Localities heading is set out in the guidance. - Adam37 Talk 18:38, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Caterham Valley

message: In WP:SURREY this is languishing at stub class.  Yet if improved, most of its material would be duplicated from Caterham.
As a geographically barely separated ward from the one other shared by Caterham that only has approximately 10,000 people, not a historic ecclesiastical parish and as not all wards are notable in their own right,consensus tends to be towards successful conversion of it to a section of Caterham under the heading localities.  Redundancy otherwise is a problem, instead focussing on what is notable and applicable to a whole settlement, not duplicating all of the necessary geographical content (this principle is set out in two sections of how to write about UK settlements). - Adam37 Talk 19:21, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Saint Clement Eucharistic Shrine (Boston, Massachusetts)

message: The article attributes the church to architect Ralph Adams Cram, but the list of records of the Universalist congregation that built it does not mention Cram.  Instead, it mentions architect Arthur F. Gray.    Can this be reconciled?   Did Cram work for Gray?  This seems unlikely, as the WP article on Cram does not mention Gray.   Is the Cram attribution an error?  None of the sources of the article attests to this claim. Chonak (talk) 22:43, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The article is opaque without an illustration, which might be worth a thousand bytes.--Wetman (talk) 17:15, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  No illustration 

message: Are we quite certain that 'aippa' and 'iron perm' are at all different from the 'base' punch perm as described by the main body of the article? 'Aippa' appears to very much be 'iron perm' in the common style of Japanese abbreviations, and the 'iron perm' paragraph claims without citation that it's different because it uses a curling iron rather than chemicals and rollers, when the article itself describes that the punch perm was invented and replicated using a modified curling iron. Further to this, 'aippa' is described as a punch perm with all of the properties that appear to distinguish a punch perm from just hair which has undergone the process of perming... which is to say that calling 'aippa' or 'iron perm' separate variants of the punch perm is imagining a distinction which doesn't exist. The qualities attributed uniquely to the 'aippa' in this section appear, in fact, to be the defining features of the punch perm compared to any other perm hairstyle. I would suggest that the 'Variations' section should be excised completely unless anybody has evidence to refute my assumptions.

Talk:Bessborough Reservoir

message: There has not been much point in trying to sort this one out as long as  and  have been edit-warring over it. None of them has even mentioned the content, just fighting about whose responsibility it is to take it to the talk page, which – needless to say – none of them has done. "The article remained neutral until you changed it" and "stop vandalising the page!" are examples of the "arguments". The count is currently 8–8. Will the match go to extra time? And a penalty shoot-out? Seriously, this is plain disruptive. I will use the current break to try to stop the silliness once and for all.
Simple facts: There are four reservoirs in the area, three of which are mentioned in the article. Whatever is not neutral about mentioning the fourth is beyond me. I will add the fourth, explaining the geography in somewhat more detail. --T*U (talk) 08:36, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:1931 Guildford by-election

message: I'll fish out the references and write this in but my recollection from reading The Times for the period is that originally there were Conservative, Labour and Liberal candidates, though the Labour candidate stood down early on. During the course of the by-election some prominent Liberals had letters published suggesting it would be better to let the by-election go unopposed because of the problems of elections in August. In the end the Liberal stood down on the 25th, but this was because the previous day the National Government was formed, and he felt the political situation had changed so drastically as to make a contest undesirable.
