Talk:Flying Star (restaurant)

message: I'm sorry, but the Flying Star is NOT a fast food restaurant. This needs to be changed.
::Agree.  It's a café, and a rather nice one at that. Just because you stand up to order your food doesn't put it in the same class as McDonald's. 69.109.127.123 04:35, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Flying Star did start out with the name of Double Rainbow, but that's not because it was an outcropping of the ice cream chain.  Double Rainbow (café) came up with the name independently, and Double Rainbow (ice cream) sued for trademark infringement.  They came to an agreement regarding the common use of the name, but eventually Double Rainbow (café) wanted to expand beyond the terms of the agreement.  As a result they changed their name. 69.109.127.123 04:35, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Deleting Justin McLachlan's entry

message: In addition to the brouhaha over blog entries as sources (I agree with User:Jossi, fwiw), I question the notability of the Times West Virginian's "notable reporters". It doesn't exactly take Pulitzer material to win a state press award, especially in a narrow category such as columnist ("Premier Journalist" is a bit better, although it would be best to establish that these folks are notable for something other than possessing engraved plaques). So McLaughlin exposed abuse and disseminated information about sewers. Why should anyone outside the Times West Virginian readership take notice? Show how the reporter's fame has spread beyond the usual industry attaboys -- and provide footnotes.
A possible solution here: I think the article makes a mistake in focusing on "notable reporters" and not on "notable coverage". From what I've seen, none of these three reporters is really WP:NOTE-worthy, but perhaps some of their work is. A better tack than showing the reporters' fame might be to show (again, with footnotes) how the newspaper has improved West Virginia. ``` W i k i W i s t a h ``` 04:45, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tupaia (navigator)

message: Incorrect date of Death (as of Oct 2020)
The date of Tupaia's death listed on this article is inaccurate. I note that it has recently been amended and that the author has outlined their rationale (to rely on a date inserted in the Endeavour muster book). But their reasoning here is poor. Since July 1769 Tupaia had been a member of Joseph Banks's party. Banks was responsible for him and had pledged to remain so once they arrived back in Britain. So it is vital to note that, on 11 Nov 1770, Banks wrote: "We receivd the news of Tupias death." This comes two days after Banks wrote (on 9 November) "This day we receivd the disagreable news of the death of Tayeto, and that his death had so much affected Tupia that there was little hopes of his surviving him many days." For the past century this has been considered the best source relating to Tupaia's death and with good reason too. Banks was an on-the-spot observer and, contrary to what is argued, a very accurate source. It would be very curious for him to record Tupaia's death a month before it happened. The likelihood is that the Endeavour Muster was hurriedly amended once the bustle of business in Batavia was done with.
:John Beaglehole wrote a footnote for Joseph Banks's entry for 11 November, 1770, which begins "Tupaia died on 20 December". 
:He explained the reasoning for Banks's date error in the previous footnote, which reads in part "Banks's journal for this distressing period must have been written up later, with dates supplied rather vaguely from memory".

thread_title:  The use of 'Currently' 

message: It isn't a new phenomenon on Wikipedia, however... Why is there a citation request in the section that discusses the new logos since the 2005 re-branding? The re-branding itself from VRT TV1 to Eén, as discussed earlier in the article, is not challenged. If that is accepted it seems quite obvious that a re-branding involving a name change would require new logos. The 'hobby editors' who partake in this sort of carry-on might consider any of two alternative courses of action before adding foolish requests for citations:
1. Research and add the citations.
2. Read more carefully before adding requests that contradict acceptance of information that has already been presented.

message: The wording and content of this article are appropriate to a homepage, not an encyclopedia article. It is good that it is up to date, but an encyclopedia article needs to take a longer view. The "history" section needs to be greatly expanded. The word "currently" currently appears five times in the article. In all such cases, there is equal reason to include the previous state of affairs. For example if the identities of the Director General and other officers is to be included, some effort should be put into listing the corresponding previous office-holders.
