Talk:Operation Mincemeat

message: On February 4th, 2023, User @SchroCat removed the following sentence as being unsourced:
:The third episode of 2014 British miniseries Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond is in its second half also about this Operation.
Indeed, it is not easy to find a source, but I found one, so you can add it back the preferred way (tbh, I am not sure weather it should be added as a reference or as a source):

message: I have, hopefully, made the article more neutral. The original quote about vaccinations leading to crime reads:
*Zur Erklärung zunehmender Dummheit und zunehmender Gewaltkriminalität brauchen wir nicht die ausgefallendsten Theorien heranziehen, denn die Lösung liegt auf der Hand: Intelligenzverlust führt zur Kriminalität. Um es deutlich zu sagen: Ursachen dieser Entwicklung sind die Impfungen. 
Buchwald has written it in the afterword of the book "Anita Petek-Dimmer. Rund ums Impfen. AEGIS Schweiz 2004", p 177, see also this German webpage of a pro-vaccination group.--Biologos 14:12, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of years in rail transport

message: Previously (in early 2009) years 2019 and 2020 were deleted due to WP:CRYSTAL, partly because of the distance in time and partly because of the quality of the list entries. I think it's reasonable to say that even a very official date given 10 years out is much more likely to change than not; however, should we have a formal policy for how far ahead it is reasonable to list things?
(A relevant example is the LIRR extension into Manhattan, pushed back from 2016 to 2019 over the last couple years; unlike many of the projects scheduled for completion in 2020+ it has begun construction)

Talk:John Hetherington

message: The only supporting articles I could find for the outrageous story about John Hetherington' inciting of a riot and his subsequent banishment were all written by John Berendt.  Articles supposedly written by this member of the International Formalwear Association are surprisingly common.  But they are all nearly identical and deal with the same subject matter.  This article may very well be a partial or complete fabrication, and at the very least begs for further investigation.

message: Believe this is a relatively uncontroversial candidate for deletion.  Story is manifestly bogus.  Source for the story is a secondary reference in the 1920s to a supposed article published thirty years previous telling a story from a hundred years ago.

thread_title:  Proposed for deletion 

message: I've rewritten this article to cover the specific origin of the story which is clearly hokum. However, its appearance in Notes and Queries is said to be copied from a piece in the Hatters' Gazette, which doesn't appear to be online. I found an MA thesis that mentions the Wardown Park Museum as having it in their archives, if anyone reading this fancies a mission. The piece also claims that the event was mentioned in The Times on the 16th of January 1797.

message: Does the following have connotations of holocaust denial?
Editor note: Roper was a jew reporter with close ties to British Intelligence. He came on the scene
with his ridiculous claims about the "gas chambers" and "ovens" at Dachau. Thereafter, the
British government stated that Dachau was not a "death camp" and no such facilities existed
there. All the the so-called "extermination camps" curiously ended up in Soviet held territory. That
should tell you something.

Talk:Dagbani language

message: Dagbani is most definitely *not* mutually intelligible with Moore. The languages are, very roughly, about as similar as German and Danish. It's not hard for a speaker of one to learn the other, but they are unequivocally not mutually intelligible.
I lived for years in Northern Ghana and can testify on this point first hand. Kusaal, which I know quite well, is considerably closer to Dagbani than Moore is, but even Kusaasi do not understand Dagbani without actually learning it!
The situation can easily be mistaken by foreigners who are confused by the fact that it's not uncommon for local people to speak several languages well; this does not imply that the languages themselves are mutually intelligible between monoglot speakers.
BTW Dagbani *does* have contrastive vowel length, as the commenter above says, but the contrast has been lost in open syllables, so you have e.g.
Dagbani sana "stranger", plural saamba, as against Moore saana, plural saamba, Kusaal saan(a) plural saam(ma)

Talk:Industrial Tribunal

message: A good article but will need some more information. I am not very knowledgible in this area, but i am interested in it. Can others please contribute more information...
Yeah. I hopped to this page from "whistleblowing" via "public interest disclosure act". I looked at this page because the bodies referred to here have been known for some years as Employment (rather than Industrial) Tribunals. I have not edited it because you (whoever you are) already have an interest and may prefer to do it yourself. There is already a good body of information on the employment tribunals at their web site http://www.employmenttribunals.gov.uk; It may be possible and sensible to use that as the source and summarise it here Justdignity 19:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

message: :: I have rewritten the original article. Although the overview was technically correct it was outdated in so far as the term "Industrial Tribunal" ceased to apply in 1998, replaced by Employment Tribunal. Since the article is obviously intended to describe the tribunal's current purpose, the title seems inappropriate. I've made a reference to the name change within the article. As well as including the main thrust of the original article, I have added references to the rules that govern tribunals, and some recent statistics.  Does anyone know how to go about moving the page under a different title without stopping the world from revolving? Justdignity 20:35, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Adobe Authorware

message: I used CoA (and later BCoA, and then was a beta-test site in the UK for Authorware as it developed) and I don't recall any runtime programs for DOS being produced. It was a Mac-only environment until much later, after the original Authorware supplanted BCoA. Even then, you basically had to buy the Mac version of Authorware and then an additional module to do the Windows stuff (and even then it was a poor second to the quality produced by the Mac version).
We used Videoworks II (before Director appeared) for animations because it was superior to the inbuilt capability, and at one point I tried to persuade Macromind and Authorware to consider collaborating on a joint product that combined the best of both worlds, but they refused, saying that they did not see sufficient commonality. Wow. The rest is history.
There was talk of the product eventually being able to output source code (instead of object) for a variety of programming languages (such as Visual BASIC, C++, etc) so that it could be compiled locally for a specific machine/environment but I'm not sure how that progressed - I moved on.
An interesting paradigm though - the flowline. Being able to rough out a prototype in front of management or a client and then run it with only a tiny fraction of the program written was very impressive. And to be able to do that without necessarily having any formal programming training - just by logical thinking - was also very impressive. Of course, it helped if you DID have some programming under your belt :)
But the price (in the UK) was horrendous and it destroyed its market because of that (the nearest competitor was one tenth the price). AncientBrit 19:45, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mac software producing DOS code? 

message: I was beta for Macromedia since Authorware version 3.0 (1994), participating in every one up until version 8, which was unceremoniously dropped by Adobe a full year after the merger. Up until the merger, communications between beta testers and Macromedia Engineering was ALWAYS open, with Macromedia's staff fully engaged in the beta, answering questions at all times of the day and night (because many of the beta testers were overseas), and going out of their way to solicit the beta testers for their expert opinions.
Macromedia also accepted bug reports from the field; my own contribution detecting and reproducing the bug that had existed in the Framework Icon since its inception triggered the 5.2 update.
Get over the fact you were never skilled enough to participate in the beta program, and quit shilling for Adobe.
