Talk:John Reid (British Army officer)

message: Hello, is it known or possible that John Reid is identical with J. Robertson, according to german Philologist Felix Jacoby ("Das Marmor Parium", 2nd Edition 1904, 3rd Edition 2005, Seite VIII, Footnote 2) the writer of the "Remarks on the Parian Chronicle" (which are translated from English!) in the 1790 Edition of that Chronicle by german Philologist Karl Franz Christian Wagner (1760 - 1840)?--87.152.247.237 (talk) 15:24, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It is certainly possible - he changed his name from Robertson to Reid, as we note in the article. The remarks  were written in 1788 when Reid would have been 67 (albeit by then, presumably, he was known as Reid and not Robinson.) I've got no more clues than that right now. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:12, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah no. Archive.org gives the author as Robertson, J. (Joseph), 1726-1802; which would be Joseph Robertson (clergyman). --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Malton and Driffield Junction Railway

thread_title:  Content 

message: The rolling stock section should list primarily (and before any other activities are attempted) the common or standard locomotives and other stock used on the railway.
It should not, as it appears to do now, list any vehicle ever seen, especially if that gives an unrepresentative view.
There were two main types of traffic on this line, a regular passenger train, and later the quarry trains.
The article should state what was used on these, and when.
(Also "representative images" is not the way to do it - if the image isn't of the loco on the line - leave it out. )83.100.174.82 (talk) 02:14, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Trickling filter

message: From what I understand about biofilms, a septic drain field is functionally identical to the methods of a trickling filter. There really is no reason to keep them separate, and so trickling filter should be the main article since it is more general of the two articles, and septic drain field becoming a redirect.  DMahalko (talk) 19:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Should be 2 separate articles.  Although the principles are the same, my understanding is that significant differences come into play due to differences between soil and controlled filter bed materials, which eliminates the need to account for individual soil characteristics, but introduces other issues.  Causes of failure are quite different, for instance. You don't see soil failure due to redistribution of the silt fraction, and you don't see mineral carbon/iron precipitation in soil, both problems that dog sand medium.  Soil has a large set of issues that don't apply to filter beds.  Consequently, I feel more comfortable keeping these as two separate articles.  Plus it is what I expect that the reader expects. --Paleorthid (talk) 21:59, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree completely with Paleorthid that the two articles be kept separate. Now that there has been 2 months  for discussion and no one else has commented, I will remove the merger proposal tag. mbeychok (talk) 04:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree that the two should be kept separate.  The trickling filter is typically an above ground aerobic environment followed by a clarifier.  The septic drain field is an underground anaerobic or facultative environment integrated with a percolation disposal system.  I will remove the merger tag from the drain field article.

This information is in fact "sourced."  There is a book in my local library on Irish names which is currently on loan.
