Talk:Joël Gustave Nana Ngongang

message: The article says that he speaks Banso, French, and Medumba as native languages. Banso is the language of the Nso people, who live mainly in Cameroon's Anglophone Northwest Province, while Medumba is a Bamileke language from the Francophone West Province. Does this mean that one of his parents was Anglophone and the other Francophone? — BrianSmithson 03:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:North End, Boston

message: Currently "Langone Park" redirects to Clementina Poto Langone, where it's mentioned because the park is named after her and her husband, Joseph A. Langone, Jr. It's a pretty nice park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, right on the waterfront, and probably deserves its own article - or at least a paragraph and a picture in the Langone article.
There seems to be some confusion about the naming of the park and its components. 
According to the Boston Globe, 
The mayor was on hand to dedicate the new North End Waterfront Park on Commercial street next to the old District 8 police station. About 200 fans also came and saw the mayor throw out the first ball in the exhibition game between the North End and East Boston All-Stars.
The park, dedicated in honor of the late Sen. Joseph Langone and Mrs. Clementina Langone, represents the first phase in construction of a recreational complex.
The second phase will include a softball field, bleachers, boardwalk, and swimming pools. The MDC has plans for building a skating rink and basketball courts at the complex.
That article suggests that only one part of the recreational complex was named after the Langones. But this picture suggests otherwise.
Components of the complex are named after different people. There's the Puopolo athletic field (presumably that's part of it), the Paolo bocce court , etc. 
I'm happy to help, but someone who actually lives in the North End or at least in Boston would be in a better position to sort this all out. Rosekelleher (talk) 11:04, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Škoda 120

message: It is a common legend that jealous Soviets banned Czechs from using front wheel drive because their Lada's would have looked outdated next to them. This is not true. In fact, Soviet Union couraged its satellites to invest on product development. But the problem that the Czechoslovakian Aviation and Automotive Industry Administration (ČZAL) did not want to invest on the machinery the changeover would have required. It is just easy to blame communists about every problem in the former socialistic countries because no one defends them.
Also drive shaft technology was available in East Germany and AZNP had some development projects with IFA (Wartburg) for common models; Wartburgs would have got four stroke engines from AZNP and IFA would have produced transmissions for Škodas. But such didn't work in socialistic countries, each factory wanted to have all the production in their own hands and minimise the number of suppliers. The reason was that being dependent on suppliers was a big risk, logistics didn't work and delivery accuracies were bad and material shortages caused often disturbances in production. --Gwafton (talk) 13:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I remember the UK Autocar review of the Rapid in 1988. Skoda were pushing the Rapid hard at the time, and expected a sympathetic review from Autocar because they placed a lot of advertising there. The 'handles like a Porsche' comment from the reviewing journalist was actually a joke - mid 80s 911s had a terrible reputation for wet weather handling, and there were many fatal accidents where yuppie drivers lost control on bends. Overall the review was superficially positive while actually being quite critical. --Ef80 (talk) 14:19, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sumner Tunnel

message: This article needs to tell people how to avoid this and the Callahan Tunnels - you can not rent a car at Logan IAP without going through these tunnels unless you plan carefully in advance and this and Callahan Tunnel article should help people to do that.  The alternative with one rental car firm is $25 charge for the privilege of having an EZPass transponder in the car plus the tolls.  That is highway robbery.  The other solution is rent the car outside the airport, but that becomes really complicated as well.

thread_title:  New page created 

message: Propose merging Spanish East Indies into Captaincy General of the Philippines
Short explanation: After an investigation I have made, those terms mentioned above are essentially the same thing. But the thing is that in terms of administration and government of Spanish colonies, the term of Captaincy General of the Philippines is more widely used.
Long explanation: I suggest to move this, because I found out that those things include the same territories, adding separate articles would be misleading and confusing when they literally are the same thing (their territories on maps are the same), so merge them would be a solution. In the articles about list of colonies there images that says Captaincy General of the Philippines and that included other islands in the Pacific which formed the Spanish East Indies, implying that both terms are the same but the term that I'm mentioning (Captaincy General) is the most widely used, and also in list of Spanish colonies Captaincy General is the one that is seen, and the name of the Governors are named Governor-General of the Philippines, implying the same as well.

*Don't use too many weasel words. Especially don't base entire paragraphs on them.
*If you have claims like "has created a cult-like following", "Moosejaw offers its customers free Gift Messaging",  and "Moosejaw.com is a top 50 online retailer" (to give examples), they need to be backed by reliable sources.
*Original research is writing that does not come from sourced information, and it is not permitted on Wikipedia.

I dont think Verne was any less prescient in predictions - fax machine, motorcars, the decline of fine arts toward commercialism (libraries full of "how-to" books and computer-composed music) etc. were impressive and ring true today (unfortunately).  Although the span of prediction was exactly 10x greater for M, V often took the easy way - describing what already existed (i.e. an ocean liner ship) but rather on an enourmous scale (a common theme from him).  LAnno 3000 was arguably Mantegazza's best work, where the Verne book is certainly not.  Also interesting - neither author could break his compulsive Eurocentrism - both worlds would be firmly centered in Europe, albeit transnational Europe at peace.
