Talk:Pantukan

message: The legend has this to say...
Long time ago, in a place where land and sea met; a place of plenty and abundance, a Bagani named Kingking was blessed with a very beautiful daughter.  She was so fair that young men, upon beholding this maiden, immediately fell for her.
Two exceptionally fierce suitors, Datu Pantu and Bagani Kan, were among her innumerable takers.  They topped the rest, forcing them to abandon their quest.  These two were so set in winning her love.  The rivalry was so intense.  It inevitably turned bloody.  Theirs was a death duel.  These love-struck braves wasted away their young lives for their beloved.
This was how the settlement got its name, Pantukan.  Its earliest settlers were Mansakas and Muslims.  True to its legend, rivalry existed between these two tribes which often ended up in the shedding of blood.  In real life drama, the beautiful daughter of Bagani Kingking is no other than the rich and beautiful land itself.
Year 1914, Governor General Charles Yeater Wood declared Pantukan a Municipal District.  Sangui, a Mansaka, was appointed president.  A year after, he was replaced by Lam Laureano, a native Muslim.  Year 1937, President Manuel L. Quezon declared it a regular Municipality.  Mr. Teodoro Fuentes was appointed its first Alkalde.  Mr. Juan Caballero Sr. was its first elected Mayor.  From thence up to the present, the elected Mayors were: Graciano Arafol (1952-1959), Diosdado Basanez (1960-1963), Celso Sarenas (1964-) with Juan Caballero Jr. as OIC (1986-1987), Dr. Jovito Derla (1988-1992), Juan Caballero Jr (1992-1996), Dr. Jovita Derla (1996-2000) and Tok Sarenas (onward).

message: Just want to add a disclaimer on my work on this article: as you can see by my user page, I'm a student at Brigham Young University where much of the research on A.M. has taken place. I promise that this is not meant as a tribute to a favorite professor or anything like that. I was just browsing through the library a few days ago and came across this book, found it interesting, and looked to see if there was any info about it on Wikipedia. I've never even had Dr. Skousen as a professor, although now I think that I would like to! --RockRockOn 19:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

So I cite Skousen 2003, but I don't know if the cite template has facilities for off-WP pdf articles, and I didn't use it. Feel free to fix it if you know better. Truth to tell, the cite template covers books and journals, but I very much doubt it covers all the weird quasipublications (letters, xeroxed manuscripts, preprints of every description) that linguists are so fond of. eritain 09:56, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A couple more flexible, in-line form of citations are found here (harv) and here (superscripts).  The former has you define the full citation at the bottom, then reference it (like BibTeX) in the article, which produces something like (Smith, 2004) in the text and the full citation in the references section.  The later has you define the full citation in the middle of article, produces something like "[2]</sub>" in the article and "^Smith, Bob (2004). Some title. etc. " in the references section, after invoking    there.  Both types have their place I suppose.  I tend to use the first type for more academic articles (since it gives you the "(Smith, 2004)" in the article), and the second type for most other types of articles (since they're less maintenance). –jonsafari 15:29, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Camp Dennison

message: Within the first week, inclement weather made life very hard on those who were first there. They had no chance to build substantial structures, and the weather turned cold and accompanied by a lot of rain. The fields became a sea of mud. The camp hospital was established on the ground floor of the Waldschmidt barn, after horses were liveried elsewhere, the manure removed, and fresh straw laid down. Camp Dennison along with its surrounding cities of Indian Hill and Madeira have a curfew of 1 AM, Many men contracted pneumonia, and then there was a measles epidemic. For a time, the "hospital" was simply a shelter, although there was minimal bedding. At least one man died.
Can someone correct this?  It is out of place.

replies: text: The article doesn't confine itself to any particular gauge, so narrow gauge examples have a right to be mentioned: if you can find a reliable source to use as a reference, go ahead and add it. This article is seriously lacking in sources as it stands. I happen to know that in Britain the 0-4-2 wasn't confined to tank engines - the 0-4-2 tender engine was used for freight in the early days - Stephenson built hundreds before the 0-6-0 became popular. In later Victorian times the 0-4-2 was used for mixed-traffic work on several railways; the LSWR were turning out their A12 class right down to 1895. They even found use as express passenger engines, see LB&SCR B1 class. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:22, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:2-4-0

message: I can find no evidence that this wheel arrangement was known as a "Porter" (or a "Junior") in either US or British practice.  Steam-era US authors such as McShane called it a "four-coupled" altho that name seems to have existed more to fill a list in a book than in regular usage.  British usage doesn't seem to have had a unique name for the wheel arrangement.
While HK Porter in the US built many locomotives of this wheel arrangement, they weren't the only builder, it wasn't the wheel arrangment they mostly built, and they did not themselves call it a "Porter".  It doesn't seem appropriate to apply a non-historical name to the wheel arrangement long after it's gone out of use.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:102:B920:BDBD:5002:5C1:1A38 (talk) 21:14, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Such edits remove the opportunity for everyone to broaden their knowledge.
An equivalent, equally valid response, of greater mental latitude, (allowing each party to reach an accommodation, which opportunity still exists), should have been  to relocate the piece into the area's history.
The question, "Why include his widow?", naturally stimulates "Why exclude entirely, in passing?".  It can be seen merely by a few seconds resistance to the more obvious, that a small shift in thinking, innocuous, broader, and accommodating, rather than censorious, retrieves the formerly little known from the obscure and into the record again; which is one reason for a dictionary's existence.
Never mind, the truth remains true. 79.73.40.255 (talk) 14:43, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

message: I was referred by Dr. Per Peterson of U.C.Berkeley's Nuclear Engineering department to the MPR company for export advice.  I was surprised to find almost nothing on the web about this company.  Their corporate website is simple and almost information free beyond noting that they do nuclear services work for the government and are over 50 years old.  Looking for more, I found only the barest mention of them in an off-hand comment in the wikipedia article Naval_Reactors.  So, I dug around more and found only an unusually large number of grumbling accounts by ex-employees about how it's an unpleasant place to work.  So I settled for adding a disambiguation reference on the "MPR" page saying 
* MPR Associates, Inc., a large, internally owned, nuclear services company in the United States founded by 3 of Admiral Rickover's technical managers.
surely this is a factual, unbiased statement.  But this reference was reverted in less than 4 hours.  I then retorted by adding a link to the company web site and request to start a page about them
* MPR Associates, Inc., a large, internally owned, nuclear services company in the United States founded by 3 of Admiral Rickover's technical managers in 1964.  Wikipedia has no article about this company yet.
But this reference too was reverted in under an hour.  The user who so diligently works to make sure nobody knows the term MPR is used this way is User:DexDor.
MPR is a privately held company, so there is very little financial information about them, like number of employees, revenue, what projects they are working on, etc.
