Talk:William K. Boardman

message: Considering that this is occurring right now, I thought I would offer some fun facts in case anyone feels like making this into anything other than another database/directory entry:
* Rather than as an insurance businessman, Boardman was better known in Ketchikan outside of politics as the manager of the local chamber of commerce.
* Boardman was involved in the first controversial election contest for state office.  In 1958, he ran for state senate against W. O. "Bo" Smith, who was Ketchikan's representative to the constitutional convention.  The election hadn't quite been resolved for this office by the time the legislature convened.  Boardman was present in the Senate chambers on the first day of the session expecting to be sworn in, but several Democrats objected to that.  What is known is that Smith was eventually certified the winner and sworn in.  Other details are scarce without looking up newspaper articles on microfilm, but I believe the results wound up in court (which happened with other legislative contests in 1976, 1986 and 1988 that I can recall offhand).
* Boardman was the senior member of the House when he lost reelection in 1970 to Democrat and lawyer Richard "Dick" Whittaker.  Whittaker only served one term in the House, losing renomination to 22 year old Terry Gardiner.  Whittaker was the father of Jed Whittaker, who in 1996 as the Green Party nominee for U.S. Senate outpolled the Democratic nominee, Theresa Obermeyer.
* In 1971, Boardman married for the third time to Genie Chance, who served her first term in the House during the same session as his last term.  That same year, she was divorced from Winston Chance, her husband of nearly a quarter century.  Chance was also a Democrat, who went on to serve several terms in the House and an abbreviated term in the Senate.

Talk:John Fawcett (of Bolton)

message: The hymns below were listed for this John Fawcett.  But, based upon birth and death dates of this John Fawcett there is no way he can be the one that wrote "Blest be the Tie".  I suggest that that John Fawcett is this one: John_Fawcett_(theologian).  For now I am removing the hymn listing from this article page and putting them on this discussion page.
    * Strike! Seraphs, strike your harps of gold
    * Spirit, leave thine house of clay!
    * Blessed be the tie that binds
    * Now is Christ risen from the dead

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dpnew (talk • contribs) 01:02, 23 February 2009
:The confusion arises because John Fawcett (theologian) wrote the text of the hymn "Blest be the tie", whereas John Fawcett (of Bolton) set the other three texts to music (amongst his many other compositions). All those three (Strike seraphs strike, Spirit leave thy house of clay, and Now is Christ risen) have been recorded by the group Psalmody , which is probably why they, rather than other works of Fawcett's, were listed in the article. We should have a list of Fawcett's published works, but since this mention of just three of them is so far from comprehensive, I propose to leave it here for the time being.

Talk:University and college buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places

message: This would be better as a sortable table or at least be listed by state instead of college name. Thoughts? Katr67 (talk) 20:36, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm surprised this list has survived and grown, but it seems to meet some need.  Given that it appears to be here to stay, yes, some change towards sortable table would help.  Layout-wise, if it was just a list of NRHPs, some of which are further designated NHLs, then a 3 or 4 column table would work to display the information.  There'd be columns for University, State, and NRHP name, perhaps with a "type" column or with color coding for NHLs vs. regular NRHPs.  All 3 or 4 columns could be sortable.  However, some of the university historic districts listed here include sublists of contributing properties.  Not sure how those would work in a sortable table.  Mere contributing properties should not be made to appear to be equivalent in appearance to a NRHP.  Perhaps it could be done as a sortable list with one row per NRHP / NHL, and those sublists could just be included as blocks appearing in a description column? doncram (talk) 20:47, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  merger 

message: There are a number of content errors on this page, but since it is currently under consideration for merging with another page, I'll just present the errors and corrections here and leave it up to someone to make the necessary changes.
1. "Food is put on the baking stone, which is then placed in the oven, though sometimes the stone is heated first."  From the page http://bakingstone.com/faq/ Item 20, "Baking stones provide even, direct heat from the bottom of the stone. Consistent thermal conductivity ensures that the toppings and dough finish baking at the same time."  Obviously, failing to preheat the stone would make using it worthless.
2. "Baking stones are used much like cookie sheets, but may absorb additional moisture for crispier food."  From the same reference, "Baking stones do NOT draw moisture out of the dough. Rather, good quality baking stones bake through the dough at a even pace. It's hard to imagine a stone heated up to 600°F can absorb moisture. Moisture evaporates very quickly at those temperatures."
3. "Because of the possibility of rapid temperature change, baking stones should not be left in an oven while it is in self cleaning mode."  Same reference, Item 15: "Can I leave my baking stone in the oven during the cleaning cycle?   FibraMent is porous and absorbs anything that comes in contact with it. It's best to take the stone out of the oven when it goes through the cleaning cycle. You can leave the stone in the oven if you can prevent any foreign residue from dripping on the stone."
There's probably more factual material on that page, but I am not a writer, just someone who has researched the product and found good reference material on that site.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.89.6 (talk) 03:18, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Walter Fitz Robert

message: According to my research Walter Fitz Robert was also Earl of Clare and Hertford.He descended from the Viking Rollo, First Duke of Normandy through Godfrey of Brione, Gilbert of Brione, and Richard Fitz Gilbert. The latter died in 1090 after being married to Rhoese d/o Walter Gifford also originally of Normandy who was created Baron of Gloucester by Henry I.
Walter Fitz Robert's father, Robert Fitz Richard, married ,in 1112 Maude who was niece of Willliam the Conquerer and d/o Earl of Huntingdon. He secondly married in 1140 the d/o Earl of Winchester but according to birthdate and marriage dates Walter Fitz Robert's mother must have been Maude.
Walter Fitz Robert's son, Robert Fitz Walter, married first Gunnora d/o Robert Valonies and his second wife was Rose.Robert F Walter's known children were: Walter who married Maude, Maude the Fair, Matilda and Christian.
My genealogy data on the family continues on through 16 plus additional generations but makes very dry reading except for family.

message: The article says that the musical is "based on" the rock opera, but isn't it just the stage version of the rock opera?  -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have the time to do much research right now (and I finally have lost my access to Lexis-Nexis, so I'm pretty limited), but an article in the New York Times in discussing the musical, says "The changes overseen by Mr. McAnuff are so far-reaching that it feels as if "Tommy" has been reinvented...". Take a look: . It does sound as if "based on" would be more accurate than, say "the stage version of...", just based on this one article. JeanColumbia (talk) 21:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but the songs are almost entirely the same -- only one new one was written for the stage.  Aside from some lyrical changes, the addition of a couple of reprises, and some minor plot tweaking, the original album and the bway soundtrack are nearly identical.  That's not to say that the minor changes didn't have a rather large effect when taken as a whole.  The "message" of the stage musical is quite different, but I don't think that's enough to consider them separate works.  —  MusicMaker5376 21:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Somewhere I have a book which discusses everything that went into turning the album into a show, but I think it's in a storage unit about a thousand miles away... Anyway, my understanding is that the album was a concept album built around songs, some of which were previously written and not originally about the character Tommy. The Broadway show required not just choreography and musical adaptation, but needed more of a plot than what the album offered. The additional song, plus art / visuals / special effects, was how a more complete (although still a bit ambiguous in places!) plot was constructed for the Broadway rock opera. The original Broadway stage show was advertised as a rock opera (as well as The Who's music come alive), but I have seen it also labeled as a musical (even though the Broadway production involves near-continuous music and has few spoken/non-sung lines, so arguably more opera than musical). I can't speak to any revivals or amateur productions, though. os (talk) 02:55, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

text: I was wondering about that sort of thing, MorayN... Sort of. I have some info about some of the early tours of the show in 1995-1996, including its first large tour in the US and Mexico and the first tour in Brazil. Those might or might not be culturally relevant, IDK? They technically aren't the "original production or major revivals" -- though they may be the first exposure of many audiences in major cities to the show, and they were large-scale production tours put on by a company based out of Manhattan. Tracking down encyclopedia-worthy references might be a bit challenging, but I can do it if it's useful to mention the tours in the article. (If it's just going to get scrapped as "non-notable" then I don't want to go to the trouble!) Thoughts, anyone? os (talk) 02:55, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

The article looks close to B-class, but to get there, I'd like to see some design and construction data in the body of the article; basically take the technical data from the infobox, the top line of "Early Service", spin them off into their own section, and if possible add some info on what the class was intended for and why they were built (see the "Design and Construction" section of HMAS Adelaide (FFG 01) as an example). Some information on what Thiepval did during the three years with the Department of Marine and Fisheries would be nice, but I imagine this info may be hard to come across, so is not essential for B-class.

Talk:Lotfernrohr 7

message: I was always under the impression that the primary German bombsight was a significantlhy less-sophisticated sight that, like the British bombsights, only calculated the rate that the target moved under the aircraft and calculated the realease point based on the rate at which the angle was decreasing. It was unable to compensate for wind, pressure, and other atmospheric conditions. I am not a bombsight expert, but to me this article sounds like it was written by a typical German equipment fan trying to reduce the differences and similarities between the Norden and the Lotf 7 to "the L7 was a superior copy of the Norden that did everything the Norden did, but was more simple and easy to operate". I don't beleive this is true. It's more simple because it IS more simple, and it's easier to operate because you don't have the option of entering as much data as the Norden could calculate from. Whether this additional functionality actually made the Norden work any better, I don't venture to say, but I don't think this article, or at least the one source that is cited, is really NPOV. The British were free to use any bombsight they wanted; they used the Norden. The US was still carefully guarding the Norden in 1945. If the Germans had successfully "copied" it and "improved" it, why would they bother? You'd think they'd be redesigning the Norden to the same standard as the German bombsight.
