Talk:Country pub

message: Quote:
A country pub is a rural public house. The term typically applies to drinking establishments in England, but the term is also found in many other countries with strong connections to England (such as Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and the Republic of Ireland). There is a distinctive rural culture surrounding country pubs, many of which function as social centres for a village or surrounding region. Many country pubs are village pubs associated with a single village. Others are inns that used to serve travellers in the period before motor transport. Some country pubs are centuries old.
Unquote
This is once again an example of creating a separate article for no reason whatsoever. Tell me what the difference is, where does a town end and the country begin? What is the "distinctive rural culture surrounding country pubs", what does it consist of? Many town pubs function as "social centres" if not for a village but for the area immediately surrounding the pub in a town, exactly the same as a pub does in a rural surrounding. These days, in an age when the motorcar connects town and village in no time at all, it is such an artificial distinction, that it is just not worth talking about. Most pubs in the country serve food just the same as city pubs, while country pubs where the locals meet socially, are visited by townspeople travelling through for a rest or a meal before they continue on their journey, in just the same way they would do in the city. Also townsfolk go out to a rural pub for a meal, especially if its cuisine is well known. Please don't say that there is some kind of mystique about a rural pub which makes it totally different. There isn't. Some pubs in rural surroundings are very sophisticated affairs indeed these days. This is just notching up another article against someone's nick.

Talk:Cruck

message: I have become aware that the early researchers and the Oxford English Dictionary define cruck as a pair of cruck blades, not a single piece. Later researches specifically refer to a single blade as a cruck. The first definition looks more accurate to me but I am not sure how to handle this one. I am thinking or working this into the lead. Jim Derby (talk) 02:08, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you. But whilst altering it, I suggest you clarify - one member is cruck - BUT a pair = a cruck frame. Also, there should be less prominence on "crook." And a cruck frame is of course an arch, not a beam. Dendrotek 13:14, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Oxford English Dictionary definition

message: The articles Marske-by-the-Sea and Swalcliffe both describe buildings there as "half cruck". That term isn't mentioned here.

So ideally we'd have a redirect to here, and a note explain the nature of the term (or a fix for those two articles, if it's actually an error).

message: I disagree with how that section appears to mark Resident Evil 4 as the turning point for Survival Horror. In fact, this genre began to change five years earlier with Dino Crisis 2, the points-system of which appears to have inspired the Mercenaries mode of RE4 and 5. This 2000 game was the earliest point in the genre's history when it began to change into the more western-orientated "Action/Horror" sub-genre (As opposed to the traditional "Survival" aspect of ammo reserving, "Action" grants a large wave of weapons and (in some cases) purchasable ammunition, eliminating the need to search the terrain).-- OsirisV (talk) 01:37, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Eaves

message: Shouldn't this article be called Eave instead of Eaves? I don't see any reason not to follow the rule singular rule. Retodon8 (talk) 13:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite the singular being a back-formation, the singular is now fully accepted and very commonly used. Since the singular is preferred for Wikipedia article titles in almost all circumstances, that is what should prevail in this case. Neelix (talk) 02:21, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "Eave" may be used occasionally, but it is not the usual term: in fact most examples I can find are links to this article itself, or derivatives.  "Eaves" is a singular term that happens to end in "s" and it is by far the more common usage: there are many other examples, such as series, species, physics, measles, news etc.  "Eaves" is not a plural: it's derived from Old English efes (in Old English an "s" ending was used in all sorts of circumstances, and there were other plural endings); Wikipedia does not insist on regular singular formations when an irregular one is the usual term.  Even if "eaves" was a plural it would be a plurale tantum, a word with no singular: other examples include trousers, binoculars, scissors, cattle etc.  Either way the usual term is "eaves" and that should be the name of the article.  I've started a proposal below. Richard New Forest (talk) 11:11, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it in the lede to eaves but noted that the Merriam-Webster website lists it as eave, calling into question the 2010 move.

Talk:Châteauroux-Centre "Marcel Dassault" Airport

message: Hi all,
I have just changed or deleted lots of things on the page. An issue that I feel the need to address is that lots of statements were either not written in a NPOV way or unhelpful. Words like "premiere", "high-quality", and "largest" should not be included to describe the airport or affiliated organizations unless there is a reliable source that says it is. Also, the article had a lot of information about local corporations that do various work on the site. I have kept some of them (like the C2FPA and pilot training facilities) because it is unique to this airport. However, stuff like aircraft maintenance and repairs are not unique to this airport, and when it was written in a NPOV way, it makes the entire article seem as if it is an advertisement. I have attempted to fix as much as I can, and deleted those that I feel like do not belong in this article. If you feel like I have made any errors, feel free to discuss them with me or rewrite it in a more NPOV fashion. 
Cheers,

Talk:Federal architecture

message: "The founders of the United States consciously chose to associate the nation with the ancient democracies of Greece and the republican values of Rome. This was a deliberate and marked contrast with the Gothic style, which was used for many English public buildings and associated with feudalism. Federal style takes influence from the Georgian Neoclassical style, but differs in its use of plainer surfaces with attenuated detail; it was most influenced by the Adam style, an interpretation of Ancient Roman architecture fashionable after the unearthing of Pompeii and Herculaneum."   BUT...this all implies that the US was trying to move away from specifically English influence by rejecting Gothic (actually I think you mean neo-Gothic - the Gothic style was in the medieval period) style and instead was influenced by  ... Georgian Neoclassical - whichwas ENGLISH  and Adam style ...which was ENGLISH!!!!!  This whole section needs re-wording.  It doesn't make sense.  The ideals of Greece and Rome, sure - but through a massive English filter, borrowed ideas from England - no difference from the neo-Gothic borrowings of earlier.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.26.5 (talk) 22:04, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
