Talk:The Honourable Man

message: The date given in the infobox for the recording of this programme, 8 July 1973, must be wrong, in part at least. In the scene where Wilson crashes his motorcycle, he drives into a ditch surrounded by cow parsley flowers. Cow parsley flowers in the last couple of weeks of April and the first couple of weeks of May. There is no way cow parsley is in flower in early July. Also, the leaves are not out on the trees, as is the case in late April/early May. The trees are in full leaf by July. It might be that the studio scenes were recorded on 8 July 1973, but the exterior scenes certainly weren't. 31.50.242.220 (talk) 21:09, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Indianapolis 500 firsts

message: The listing for 1974 is going to have to be reworded. According to Sid Collins during the 1973 radio broadcast, the 1974 race was ALREADY scheduled to be switched to Sunday. He spoke about it on Tuesday (day 2 of the '73 race). So the move was not actually directly due to the tragic '73 race. The events of '73 did act, of course, to solidify the decision.

replies: text: Gave the sources that I've found the information in.  The flagicons themselves were introduced on the Formula One pages' standard, although the debate remains as to whether there should be a space between the flag and the name or not.  I vote for not, it makes for use of less bytes, and doesn't impede the eye from direct connection of competitor and their nationality. --Chr.K. 01:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  needs work 

message: 1913 states Jules Goux as the first rookie Indy 500 winner. However, 2001 states Helio Castroneves as the first rookie winner. I guess the latter isn't true. Castroneves was, of course, the first rookie-sophomore winner, so I suggest that the 2001 and 2002 cells are merged.
:Castroneves was the first "rookie and sophomore" winner: he was the first driver to win his first two races, not just his first. Goux was the first to win his first race, not counting 1911. --Chr.K. 07:41, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Elizabeth Mainwaring

message: Do we really need an article for Mrs Mainwaring? She's an unseen character of secondary importance to the plot, and in any case this article is almost entirely about her husband... --John24601 15:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article 

message: Is the word fictional required in this phrase;
Mrs Elizabeth Mainwaring was the highly-strung and reclusive fictional wife of Captain George Mainwaring, of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard, in the BBC TV comedy series Dad's Army (1968-77). It makes it sound like the character didn't exist in the show (as we know she did, she just wasn't seen). Wouldn't the phrase 'Mrs Elizabeth Mainwaring was the highly-strung and reclusive wife of Captain George Mainwaring, of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard, in the BBC TV comedy series Dad's Army (1968-77).' - do just as well.

Talk:Legend (TV series)

message: I sometimes wondered if the character Bartok was based on the real-life inventor Nikola Tesla.  Both were from eastern Europe, and in at least one episode Bartok expressed dislike of Thomas Edison, as was probably the real-life case with Tesla on more than one occasion. B7T 13:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I no longer have the e-mails and source material to prove it, but I'm pretty confident that co-creator Bill Dial has specifically acknowledged that he and co-creator Michael Piller patterned Bartok on Tesla.  In addition to the points you cite, Tesla did a lot of work with alternating current electricity that resembles some of the devices in Bartok's workshop.

replies: text: Added in Tesla ref from RDA interview in Starlog  "Bartok is an interesting guy. He makes Thomas Edison look like a neophyte. He sees the great possibilities for good to be done by Legend, for helping people and for the discovery of invention. We've based Bartok, not so loosely, on a real-life person, Nikola Tesla.

Talk:Langrisser IV

message: Why is it "departing" from the first three games' story?
I would argue that if anything, this game continues the story of the first two games, and Langrisser III was the departing title, as it broke timeline and went back before even The Crest of Gaia. By comparison, Langrisser IV directly continues the storyline of Langrisser II as Gizarof unseals the swords which were turned into the Sage's Crystal in the ending of the second game. Its only departure is being set on the Western continent, though this continent was prominently mentioned in Der Langrisser's introduction sequence and several endings. --Dsobodash 06:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

:I think they should remain as separate articles, since each magazine has a separate history up to this point. You could link the new article to each article. I would remove my objection, however, if instead you would have the history of each current magazine in a separate paragraph. It that case there needs to be a redirect from both current articles to the new article. Please expand on your explanation for merging otherwise. --Royalbroil 05:15, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Seattle Rugby Club

message: ==Old Puget Sound Beach==
User:Seattlesaracens has removed a considerable long section on the history of Old Puget Sound Beach (one of the more storied US rugby sides). I'm not saying this is entirely a bad thing, because that section wasn't the best ever written on Wikipedia. It wasn't sourced, and the tone—particularly an earlier revision—was chatty and anecdotal rather than encyclopedic. Still, I'm in favour of adapting and improving material, rather than cutting it altogether (assuming that there's any wheat amidst the chaff). Two issues: (1) The article as now revised gives very short shrift to Seattle Saracens' origins in OPSB, and (2) Wikipedia now has virtually nothing to say about OPSB, which is a problem because the link Old Puget Sound Beach now redirects to this article. Both of these issues could probably be solved by forking Old Puget Sound Beach off into a new article about the former team.
