Talk:Dempsey (dog)

message: Usually I think that questions raised about neutrality are rather silly and originate with people with an extreme viewpoint. However, I think it is misleading to say that, "Dempsey was sentenced to death under the Dangerous Dogs Act for being in public unmuzzled." The United Kingdom does not have the death penalty and in modern times it has not been applicable to non-human animals. I think that "British injustice" is also not quite right. Did Brigitte Bardot use those actual words? If she did, they should be in quotation marks. Otherwise I suggest something like, "the perceived injustice of the British legal situation", or, "a legal situation in Britain that was widely considered unjust both there and in France", etc. I also wonder if it is right for the article here to be in the position of judging what is and is not "bizarre".--Oxonian2006 00:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrality?

message: The penultimate sentence is poorly written, and actually doesn't make sense:
"The case was dismissed in November 1995 on a legal technicality, since that Dempsey's owner — who had not been involved in, nor originally told about, the unmuzzling incident, had not been informed about prior to the convening of the first hearing."
Firstly one should not say "since that...", simply "since" would suffice. But worse is "had not been informed about" since that to which "about" refers is not stated properly. Perhaps the writer meant that the owner had not been informed about the "unmuzzling incident", but this subject belongs to the previous clause in this sentence.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevoreilly (talk • contribs) 10:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Economics of car use

message: There are some problems with my recent changes.
I've given this figure of 70-75%, but that takes simplistic assumptions of fixed-vs-variable.
http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Latestproducts/6523.0Appendix22003-04?opendocument&tabname=Notes&prodno=6523.0&issue=2003-04&num=&view=
gives some stats on income in .au.  Citing HILDA seems to be incorrect: I did that based on some other article that cited HILDA, but I can't see the basis of that fact/citation when I read the pdf file at http://www.melbourneinstitute.com/hilda/statreport.html.
I think it's a good idea to use per-week costs as the RACV tables and the above-referenced income tables do rather than per-year costs as the article currently gives: it seems that people quantitatively understand per-week figures better (i.e. seem better able to appreciate whether something is cheap or expensive from weekly figures than from yearly figures).
At least some of the RACV tables, there's an anomoly in that the component columns don't seem to sum to the Total column.  Try reading the methodology (http://www.racv.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/Internet/Primary/my+car/advice+%26+information/car+operating+costs/running+costs+assumptions+and+methodology) to see if that explains it.

Talk:Michael Groce

message: The article says that he won the Cheltenham Festival.  That article, in turn, suggests that it is a horse race.  This would be a remarkable feat if true. - Smerdis of Tlön 05:24, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Cheltenham Festival]] 

message: The entry states this: "A few days before the riots, Michael Groce was involved in a domestic dispute with his girlfriend. In frustration, he fired a gun." That has to be one of the most oblique descriptions I've ever read. First, it's not sourced.  Second, it would appear to violate NPOV, since it seems to me to be soft-peddling what could very well have been an act of violence and intimidation by Groce, rather than merely "frustration".  Third, I doubt that anyone has ever "fired a gun in frustration", especially in a domestic abuse case, which is what this sounds like. He fired a gun, but was he also threatening his girlfriend with it at the time? Sounds FAR more likely to me. I would like to see this claim of "firing a gun in frustration" attributed to an independent, objective and authoritative source, or changed to simply "During the argument, he fired a gun", or something to that effect.

Talk:St Day

message: Wheal Gorland has been and still is famous among mineralogists for its wealth of rare secondary copper minerals. From an economic point of view, however, the mine was almost a complete failure. There were a couple of other mines in St Day parish, but these were small and economically unimportant as well.
The richest copper mine in the mining district was Dolcoath Mine at Camborne, and, after 1917, East Pool Mine at Illogan. Later on, they were both surpassed in this respect by South Crofty Mine (Illogan). Other rich copper mines were Carn Brea & Tincroft United (Illogan), the Tresavean group (Lanner), the Basset Mines (Illogan), and the United Mines (Gwennap).

Talk:Mevagissey

message: This sounds suspiciously similar to the Hartlepool and Boddam myths. Read both pages and you'll see it's the same even down to the fact that the events occurred during the Napoleonic Wars. Either there were a lot of sailing simians in the French navy back in those days, or this is just bollocks, and I suspect the latter.
I looked through the history of the page and the contributor who added this tale seems like a respectable wikipedian, but it was a fairly long way back in the history of the page, and I think he's maybe just a local who was doing an infodump, trying to get the page started. I don't think the source of the citation (added later, I think) is very good - it's certainly not primary or academic, it's just some Reader's Digest book of myths, and I'm just really dubious of the fact-checking.
As the "BS Historian" writes: "any other monkey-related 'stupid locals' stories are probably recently borrowed transpositions of the Hartlepool story, intended to add local 'colour' for the tourist trade." 
I think the whole little paragraph about the monkey should be deleted, but I wrote this because I don't like to act unilaterally. Stroller (talk) 22:01, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Lure coursing

message: It looks like this article needs to be updated. The AKC has announced a new lure coursing event open to all dogs, not just AKC-recognized breeds:
: AKC Canine Partners News Announcment: New AKC Event Allows ALL Dogs to Discover Fun of Lure Coursing
: The American Kennel Club recently created a new event that allows all dogs to discover the excitement of Lure Coursing.
: 
: "The Coursing Ability Test can provide a wonderful community outreach opportunity, an enjoyable experience for dogs and owners and a way to expose a wider audience to the sport, " said AKC's AVP of Performance Events Doug Ljungren. "Most dogs will chase a lure and have fun in the process."
: 
: The Coursing Ability Test (CAT) is for any dog of any breed, including mixed-breeds, as long as it is at least 1 year old and individually registered or listed with AKC.
: 
: To pass the test, a dog running alone must pursue a lure, completing the course with enthusiasm and without interruption within a given time.
: 
: Dogs that pass the CAT three times will earn a Coursing Ability (CA) title. Ten passes and a dog earns a Coursing Ability Advanced (CAA) title, and 25 passes results in a Coursing Ability Excellent (CAX) title.
: 
: Licensed Lure Coursing clubs may hold CATs in conjunction with a licensed Lure Coursing trial or as a standalone event.
: ...
: Nine dogs became the first to earn the CA title on Feb. 25, including the first mixed-breed dog. He is Charlie, a Siberian Husky-Whippet mix, owned by Jan Curry of Columbia, Ky.
This is also noted in ACK Regulations:
:3. Open to all dogs at least 12 months of age that are individually registered with the AKC, recorded in the FSS program, dogs with PAL numbers or dogs enrolled in the AKC Canine Partners program. Females in season may not enter. A dog may enter only once per event. (An event is defined by an event number.)

Talk:Wo Fat

message: I clearly recall the ending of "Woe To Wo Fat", which was distinctly more "comic" than Wo's other appearances on the series.  In the last shot, Wo sits in a cell wearing prison stripes while McGarret stands outside and indulges in a bit of gloating.  After the 5-O chief leaves, Wo produces a lockpick and grins at us.  End of scene, end of episode, end of series.
Wo Fat is a classic case of a villian becoming a semi-sympathetic character simply because we get to know him over a period of time.

thread_title:  Improvement 

message: The previous edit added a controversy section. It described a speculative history in which the dog was used to hunt escaped slaves. The cite for this was a blog post. According to the blogger's own statements in that page, she was not familiar with the breed prior to forming that opinion. Upon first hearing of the breed, she immediately attributed a racial origin to the name, "[shot] angry yet blank stare[s]" at the people around her, and then "the limited history [she] was able to find was not enough to convince [her] that it wasn’t related to the history of slave tracking." She didn't find proof that her imagination was wrong, so she held to it and then it was repeated here. Naked speculation by someone utterly unfamiliar with the subject matter does not merit publication.
The reported AKC response to a sought name change seems rather detailed to be in error, but I was unable to confirm it. Perhaps they didn't post it to the internet? If someone else finds that statement, please add the citation. Also, the first sentence of the quote is grammatically incorrect.
