thread_title: USRD GA audit

message: #The road itself is not notable; its location isn't even that important other than being the location of a direction change in M-153's routing.
#The linked article, Frains Lake, Michigan, has one sentence about the road. If that context is needed in this article, an appositive of "a gravel road", could be added to the sentence in this article to supply the same context. Frains Lake Road doesn't even directly connect the intersection that is the community of Frains Lake to M-153 (Ford Road).
#Frains Lake, the community, isn't listed in the US Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). A GNIS listing is pretty much a good measure of the notability of a community. Another would be a listing on the MDOT paper maps, which is absent here. Yet another potential measure of notability would the presence of a Post Office branch, current or former. Google Maps doesn't list it either. The article has been proposed, by myself, for merger into the article on Superior Township. If that merger is completed, this link would be even less appropriate, in my opinion.
Since the editor that added the link has voice an unwillingness to discuss the matter with me on his talk page, I've opened this discussion here to gain a wider opinion. I will leave the link in place for a suitable period of time for discussion. Imzadi 1979 →  06:20, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Initial comment 

message: In Germany, after nobility had been officially abolished with the establishment of the Weimar Republic in 1919, former [[noble titles were made part of the person's surname, and all former noblemen became citizens. First name: Alexander, last name: Graf Lambsdorff (short form). It is a mere courtesy to address him as "Graf Lambsdorff" (Count Lambsdorff); it is correct to say "Herr Graf Lambsdorff" (Mr. Count Lambsdorff, as in 'Mr. Smith'). The template, as it is, suggests that individuals with former noble titles in their names who lived after 1919, such as Alexander Graf Lambsdorff or his father Otto (born in 1926), were/are noblemen, which is incorrect.Lexiken (talk) 19:12, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nobility in Germany abolished in 1919, no more noble titles 

message: Each of the templates includes this statement: "Before the August 1919 abolition of nobility as a legal class, titles preceded the full name when given (Graf Helmuth James von Moltke)." This is categorically false. As is evident from a review of primary source material before 1919 where given names were included - court and state handbooks, military rank lists, genealogical handbooks of the noble houses - the title rarely preceded the given name. The only exceptions were members of ruling houses and mediatized former ruling houses, and even there, the rules were inconsistent. For example, the Bavarian court and state handbooks would list someone as "Prinz XXXX von Bayern" in one place and "XXXX Prinz von Bayern" in another. But a count like Moltke would be Helmuth James Graf von Moltke. 65.216.227.119 (talk) 17:54, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Levi Lincoln Jr.

message: I have worked extensively with the records of Hingham, Massachusetts and have never been able to detect any relationship whatever between the Lincoln family of Hingham and the ancestry of President Abraham Lincoln. In my considered opinion such a linkage is a just-so story; if there was any common ancestry among these Lincoln families, it originated in England and did not perpetuate itself in the USA. I have, however, refrained from deleting this information from the Levi Lincoln, Jr. wiki webpage (I see that this page is being actively maintained, and therefore ask you to contact me at kouroo@kouroo.info for discussion of this sore point). -- Austin Meredith  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.109.215.52 (talk) 23:05, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Griffiths (physicist)

message: The article ends with the statement:
Dr. Griffiths' research interests continue to include the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum computation, and the relation of physical science and Christian theology.
''
This sentence was added on 4 October 2007 h11:04 by user 202.54.254.66.
While it is easy to check (e.g. on arxiv) that, in fact, Griffiths published and continues to publish amply on the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum computation, I could not find any evidence that he's interested in Christian theology. Maybe he is, I just could not find any proof that he is. The two references quoted to back this claim up are misleading. 
The first reference is a very short note written almost 40 years ago and has nothing to do with theology.
The second is made look like a joint article or book by Griffiths and Polkinghorne with the title "Quantum Physics and Theology: An Unexpected Kinship", but it is not so. It is actually a book review by Griffiths of a book written by Polkinghorne (it also reviews a second book). The review is mildly positive, but I don't think it proves anything regarding Griffiths interest (or lack thereof) in theology.

Talk:Richard Gans

message: This article gives a basic overview of the academic life of Richard Gans. It should at least be expanded with mention of Gans theory.
Richard Gans is not a well known scientist and has had a limited impact on the development of science in the 20th century. As such, this biography is probably of low importance. Sentewolf 05:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He was of fundamental importance for the development of physics in Argentina. With a self-efacing personality he navigated through totalitarian regimes both in Argentina (which was not a trivial achievement) and in Germany (where he was at the threshold of being slaughtered). These aspects should be expanded in the article on basis of (a) his biography as published by the University of La Plata in the CD cited in the references of the article, and (b) my memoirs, after publication, which will include a collection of subtle anecdotes illustrating his personality and his coping strategy under represive regimes. Without Richard Gans endurance of the Argentine political and social idiosyncracies, Argentine physics would still be "under the radar". Disclaimer: for obvious reasons I abstain from judging the importance and relevance of the article for Wikipedia. Jclerman 15:49, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My sincere apologies; I did not mean to offend. Obviously you are an expert on the life and works of Richard Gans and have better insight in this matter. It appeared to me that a biography of Richard Gans - in the whole of the Wiki Physics Project - is probably of equal importance as the people and works related to him, of which some are marked as 'Low importance'. I mistakingly assumed that it was preferred to determine the importance of this and other articles, but I see now that actually many articles in the Physics Project are not. Perhaps it is better if I remove my classification and leave that to someone else? Again, I did not mean to suggest that Richard Gans was an insignificant person. My only reasoning was that in the whole world of Physics, his biography is possibly less relevant than, say, the gas constant. Sentewolf 23:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate

message: I don't know if I can include the Lyrics in the article. Due to the age of the song, they're probably well out of copyright, but I know how dubious these things can be, especially if the copyright has been sold and renewed. Anyway, here they are:
--I went to a dance with my sister Kate
Everybody there thought she danced so great
I realized a thing or two
When I got wise to something new
When I looked at Kate, she was in a trance
And then I knew it was in her dance
All the boys are going wild
Over sister Katie's style.
Oh, I wish I could I shimmy like my sister Kate.
She shimmies like a jelly on a plate.
My mama wanted to know last night.
What makes the boys think Kate's so nice.
Now all the boys in the neighbourhood
They know that she can shimmy and it's understood
I know that I'm late, but I'll be up-to-date.
When I shimmy like my sister Kate.
I mean, when I shimmy like my sister Kate.
Now I can shimmy like my sister Kate.
I know that I'm real late.
I think I'll do a real shimmy dance
Dancing like my sister Kate.
Sweet papa, just like my sister Kate.
I'm also fairly sure there are at least two TV shows with the same title, and maybe a play. It'd be good if someone knew something more. My music knowledge is rudimentary, so it'd be good if the could be something added about the musical qualities of this song, the style of jazz, pertinent background for the musical artists?

Talk:George Clinton (Royal Navy officer)

message: This phrase appears in the 'Political intervention' section: "...he sniped the Dutch fur traders...".
I have not edited it because a) I did not want to change the meaning and b) I didn't understand it ! The only use for 'snipe' in this context that I can think of is if Clinton acted as a sniper against the Dutch; I don't think that was originally intended.
I have therefore not put the tick in the box as far as B-class grammar is concerned.

Talk:Pyotr Lebedev

message: In the english article it says that Lebedev quit in 1911:
"however he quit the University in 1911, protesting against the politics of the Ministry of Education."
but on the Russian version of the same article it says:
"Был уволен в результате действий министра просвещения"
which roughly translates to: "[He] was fired because of the activity of the Ministry of Education". It then goes on to say the specific case assosiated with it (I did not include that in the quote).
So which one is it? I think it is the Russian version but I don't want to just plow ahead and change it. Neither specifically sources anything, but the link to the specific inquery held afterwords (дело Кассо) does have some citations about the firing of Lebedev and other scientists. If noone objects, I will change it and cite a Russian source (since I do not feel like searching for an english equivalent). --DFRussia 19:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Ch Supt is his rank, Borough Commander is his appointment. Although, confusingly, Borough Commanders are almost always referred to as such.

Okaro's rank insignia is that of a Chief Superintendent, Commander is the next rank. Borough Commander is simply an appointment and the position is filled by a Chief Superintendent. Definitely confusing but true according to Commander and several sites/images from a web search. Also, in reply to Steve, Brownlow was indeed the last Chief Superintendent to serve at Sun Hill, but bear in mind that Okaro left Sun Hill once promoted. SMC89 14:02, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
