thread_title: Suggested amendments

message: I think there is merit in the lodge article because The Lodges were really important back in the days before social welfare. These organisations were valuable parts of the community yet where are their historys. for the most part lost. Thankfully the history of the Buffaloes lodge has been preserved and shared but what of the Other Orders. We know that there was a Freemasons Lodge on Denniston, also Oddfellows, Druids, Orangemen. However these socitys being "secret initiation groups" their history and heritage has for the most part gone to the grave with the members whom are all now deceased. Perhaps it needs a seperate page on the social history of Denniston. The Social History is even more interesting then the industrial history. To think of all the trials and tribulations of the Denniston community. You Thought it was hard going working the incline and mines, How hard was it to get by as a community when you were cut off from civilisation and the majority of familys were those of men on low hourly wages. The Lodges and Friendly Societys were a really important part of such communitys as Denniston and need to be mentioned. They are one of the most important aspects of Denniston  as they deal with the lives of the people and are a community thing but are very much a personal thing. Since little has been preserved intact of their existence there needs to be somewhere where this important information can be preserved and displayed in open forum for the benefit of those interested in the social history of towns like Denniston.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.224.40.249 (talk) 11:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

message: The article was nominated for deletion in 2013. The result was no consensus, only the nominator and two others participated. Three sources were identified during that discussion:
#PCMA History
#Sonic Foundry press release
#Meetings and Conventions Industry Continues Booming in Mexico (Mexico Today)
1 is not independent, produced by the subject itself. 2 is a press release from Sonic Foundation promoting PCMA's use of their services. Sonic Foundation has a self-interest in promoting PCMA, thus it is not independent coverage. 3 is brief coverage of PCMA. It mentions that PCMA held a meeting in Mexico and several representatives produced videos testimonials about their experience in Mazatlan. 
Taken together it seems to be just brief coverage and not enough to satisfy general notability. I'll see if newspapers.com has more coverage. Gab4gab (talk) 22:18, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

message: Unfortunately, most of this article is a copy-vio from this text  by Nick Ray in that old favorite Lonely Planet. The copyright text was added in this edit (diff) two years ago and includes basically everything in the article except the first paragraph. The anonymous editor (who made only this edit on wikipedia) added the text and claimed that permission was given by a website selling Cambodian silk. Even if permission was given by the website, the guidebook seriously pre-dates the website and it is obvious that the website is also a copy-vio from Lonely Planet - confused? Me too. In any case, the text goes now. Later, I will try to add something that references Nick Ray rather than just plagiarising his work. Cheers, Paxse (talk) 16:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Nosegay

message: I have doubts about any claim that the "tussie-mussie" was popular during the Victorian era. "Nosegays" may have been, but OED has no 19th-century citations for "tussie-mussie" in this sense at all--they enter the word as "tuzzy-muzzy," by the way, and suggest that the term was revived in the 20th century, presumably after falling into disuse around the beginning of the 18th century.
A search on Google Books, limiting results to publication dates 1800 to 1900, turns up only a couple of lexicons listing "tussie-mussie" as a synonym for "nosegay"; it gives no actual references to people giving each other "tussie-mussies." Doing the same search for "nosegay" turns up over 800 hits.
