thread_title:  built 

message: I read somewhere (forgot where) that rather well-off citizens of Cape Town (of British origin, I suppose...) paid in a kind of crowdfunding project for the building project. I kind of doubt that from a gut feeling, as Rhodes had such an enormous amount of wealth there should have been enough for funding it after his death. Does anybody have reliable information on this question? Further, it would be interesting what the costs were - even though the material was supposedly cut off somewhere from table mountain, the five or so years of qualified labour (of a larger group of Italian builders) and the eight large bronze lions, the statue "Physical Energy", etc. must have cost a fortune, regardless if in the currency of 1912 or in the one of today. Would be interesting to have at least the amount in the currency of 1912 in the article. Any info on the above issues welcome. Pittigrilli (talk) 11:08, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Highgate, Vermont

message: I'm not sure of the notability of the HVDC station in Highgate, could someone else please explain to me if this is noteworthy enough to include in a short encyclopedia article?

message: The decline of The Party followed a general nationwide decline, after a piracy bust at a smaller party called Connect 12 in 2001Fredericia Dagblad 23.  oktober 2001. The raid was conducted by court officers on behalf of the Danish Anti-piracy group. This sparked a nationwide scare for party organizers, who worried about being held accountable, as well as party attendees.  At the same time, home Internet connections became faster, and many people who attended the parties only for Internet usage stayed home instead. Nichlas 13:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bourke B. Hickenlooper

message: Here's why I'm deleting the statement recently added that says that the current Denver mayor (who is named John Hickenlooper) is the grandson of Senator Hickenlooper.I have found no corroboration for it and much information disproving it.  According to news coverage at the time of the Senator's death, the Senator had one son, named David, who was born about 1931.  Other articles about David in the Cedar Rapids Gazette indicate that he attended Iowa State University, and was married in 1958. Mayor Hickenlooper was born in 1952 (six years earlier).  His father was named John, not David, and attended Cornell University (with Kurt Vonnegut), not ISU.  The Mayor indicates that his father died when he was seven, but the Senator's son David was still living in 1967 (16 years after the Mayor's birth) when his father announced his resignation.Wikijsmak (talk) 04:26, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Arthur I, Duke of Brittany

message: John of England contains the following account of Arthur's death:
::However, Hubert de Burgh, the officer commanding the Rouen fortress, claimed to have delivered Arthur around Easter 1203 to agents of the King sent to castrate him and that Arthur had died of shock. Hubert later retracted his statement and claimed Arthur still lived, but no one ever saw Arthur alive again and the supposition that he was murdered caused Brittany, and later Normandy, to rebel against King John.

thread_title:  Richmond succeeded by Eleanor 

message: Did Arthur succeed his mother as Duke of Brittany in 1194? In my (French) dictionary they say he was Duke from 1196 to 1203. The succession of the Earldom of Richmond is puzzling too. Constance was Hereditary Countess of Richmond, so why say Arthur inherited the Earldom in 1187 "as Geoffrey's son"? Didn't he inherit it in 1196 too? Aziliz Breizh (talk) 15:03, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Geoffrey was the Earl and Duke jure uxoris which meant his titles came from his wife. With his wife living Arthur could not inherit the titles, unless she gave them up, I think.——Heinrich ⅩⅦ von Bayern (talk) 16:16, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Match moving

message: I'm interested in the hardware section that you added to the Match moving article. However I don't think that what you are describing is strictly match moving but rather the related field of motion capture tracking the camera as well. I think it belongs in the motion capture article. I think that only the introduction, stating the cases when motion capture is neccessary are really appropriate to this particular article. Plowboylifestyle 23:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I rather agree with you, except when you are referring to driving the pose of the characters and cameras so they are in the correct positions, scales and orientations for combining virtual and real objects, Match Moving has become the definition of choice, and rather than create new stubs which people then try to merge, I'm anticipating that Virtual camera tracking and matching CG Objects to real world fitting would be moved here.

replies: text: It is a fun read, but it uses a formula common to many conspiracy theories. First, a big wig dies "mysteriously". Second, someone claims to be responsible for the death or have knowledge of who did it. Third, an author exploits some tenuous connections between some the characters involved - most of them are usually dead - then writes a book about it. In this case, Hale Boggs and Nick Begich die in a place crash. Begich's widow then later marries Jerry Max Pasley, an ex-con who claimed to have knowledge that other unidentified or dead people were involved in bringing down the plane. Jonathan Walczak writes a book based on those claims. If we keep WP:REDFLAG in mind, I'm not sure what we would mine for use in the article. - Location (talk) 04:17, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I removed the sentence that stated the accident prompted Congress to pass a law mandating ELTs, which had been here since 2005 without a citation. As my replacement text explains, the ELT law was passed by Congress before the crash. The effective date of the federal law was too far in the future for some Alaskans, so a state law with an earlier effective date, which predated the crash, was passed.
