Talk:Plucking (Glaciation)

message: Moved  here from User talk:Lumos3
:What did you have in mind by creating this article? Is this a definition of the verb "to pluck" or is there an encyclopedic topic coming? It is a very puzzling article. What uh... branch of Dewey decimal system would plucking fit into? I am very tempted to propose it for deletion, but that would be wrong on the day of the article's creation. Thanks. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 22:24, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I got there through the depilation article which linked plucking to a process in glaciation, which is a very specialised usage. The main article should be to the most common use of the term in English. There is a lot of material which could potentially link here, especially in the grooming and Roman era areas. Plucking is a major human activity and an encyclopedia should cover it. As for the Dewey system I suggest 390 – Customs, etiquette, and folklore. Lumos3 22:33, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Mansfield railway station (Nottinghamshire)

message: Actually, is the name of this station Mansfield or Mansfield Town? Simply south 22:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Its present name is simply Mansfield, code MFT Chevin (talk) 12:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: The article makes the claim:
Although passenger usage figures remain 'healthy,' Mansfield is one of the few stations in the United Kingdom not to have experienced a large growth in usage since 2004 (see figures right).
It is true that the number of passengers has failed to grow inline with national trends, however whether or not the passenger numbers are healthy is a moot point.  For instance Mansfield has a population of 99,000 and its railway station usage of 0.349 million; where as the similar sized town of Halifax (82,000) has a railway station with usage of 1.911 million.  Even much smaller towns have railway stations with far greater use, for instance Dorking (population 11,000; annual station usage 1.2 million), Ilkley (population 14,000; annual station usage 1.2 million).  If nobody has any objections I'll alter the statement.  Mtaylor848 (talk) 19:42, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As you didn't say how you proposed to change it I don't know whether I object or not! Be bold and make your edit and if you can add a citation or two, so much the better.

Talk:San Jose

message: Does anyone think this specific title should redirect to a disambiguation page? Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 07:10, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the article named "San Jose" or "San José" should redirect to a disambiguation, because two major cities in the world share this name, and it's just a fair result. Both cities have the same size and similar achievements (one is an important industrial city, the other one is a capital of a country). Besides, according to the same cite in the article "San Jose (disambiguation)": San José – or San Jose – is the Spanish for Saint Joseph. According to the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's GEOnet Names Server, it is the most common place name in the world. JorgeRodriguez (talk) 20:47, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think this should go to a dab page, it should go to the Costa Rican city.  It's a national capital, for crying out loud.  But if there's no consensus for that, then fine, a dab page is better than the current status, which appears to reflect some Amerocentristic teenager's thinking that the world ends at San Ysidro. 98.71.218.248 (talk) 09:55, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

text: There are also other cities with the same name, and deserve study. MadZarkoff (talk) 17:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Attacking other editors' motives is frowned upon.  If you think an editorial decision is wrong, please just state your case on the merits instead of attacking those who think differently than you do.  As for your first point, the relevant guideline suggests that the page should redirect to the article that readers who type in "San Jose" are most likely to be looking for; the fact that one article is about a national capital does not necessarily make it the most likely to be searched for.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 15:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Your point on civility is well taken, and I offer my apologies.  And I actually do understand that the redirect should go where the reader is most likely wanting to go; my point—which I made in unfortunately crude terms—was that it may not be obvious to the typical American just what it is that the reader is looking for.  My personal suspicion is that the majority of persons using this resource (a source used the world over) are more likely looking for the national capital, not the second largest city of one of the fifty American states.  But since we can't prove it, the dab page is the solution. 98.71.218.248 (talk) 09:36, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Dichelostemma

message: Part of Cal Poly Pomona's California Flora Project Biologycpp 22:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Other sources (Jepson, USDA Plants, Calflora, California Native Plant Link Exchange) classify this plant as Liliaceae.  I propose modifying this entry to reflect the classification indicated by the other authorities.  I welcome any feedback on this proposal.  I will wait at least a couple of weeks before making the change and will notify creator of the page, etc. before making the change.--Markisgreen 17:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's Liliaceae only in the broadest and least useful circumscription of the family. When the Jepson Manual project was begun in the mid-1980s, taxonomy of the large group was in flux, and it was decided to lump everything in the Liliaceae for the manual. By the time it was published in 1994, most of the family alignments were well-accepted, and now its use of "Liliaceae" in such a broad circumscription is seen as quaint and antiquated. Dichelostemma is no more Liliaceae than Agave, Allium, or Asparagus.--Curtis Clark (talk) 14:20, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Although the inflation in germany was not at its peak, Im pretty sure there was inflation after the great war. Anyone want to clarify this?
:The confusion is between postwar inflation in Germany which was present in 1921 and hyperinflation which happened later. The hyperinflation is the historic event where people are sometimes shown with wheelbarrows full of worthless paper money. The scene in FMA clearly is showing inflation consistant with the postwar period. What is inaccurate in the presentation of 1921 is that it does not capture the political violence of that year. 64.12.117.12 05:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Car audio entry says both Motorola and Philco developed car radios before Delco. Sca (talk) 18:26, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: First

message: Having worked for Delco for almost 20 years and for the independent Delphi for another 10 years, I'm disappointed to find that a search for Delco redirects to an article titled Delco Electronics. In fact, Delco Electronics was only a part of a much larger automotive parts organization named Delco that operated under different subsidiary parts using "Delco" + a name suffix to indicate the functional area. To represent the company under the name of one of those subsidiary parts is misleading at best and a slight to the other 90% of the company at worst.
I'm willing to help improve the article, and to that end I propose one of two possible solutions:
*Change the title of this article to "Delco", modify the article lede to refer to the entire Delco company, modify and expand the existing "History" subsection to cover general aspects of the formation of Delco in the early 1900's, and finally add appropriate subsections for each subsidiary operation to cover content specific to each operation. The existing content specific to Delco Electronics would be retained in the appropriate subsection.
*Add a new article for "Delco" and move the appropriate "History" content to that new article, retaining the contents in this article that are specific to Delco Electronics, and adding additional articles for other Delco subsidiaries.
For now, it probably makes more sense to follow the first proposal until such time as there's too much content for a single article, then split content into separate articles if and when it makes more sense. If others agree with this approach, we can discuss an appropriate new set of subsections for the article.
I have some historical publications from my time of employment that might serve as reference material, although I'm not sure if it was published to the public or just for internal circulation. I will find that material and see if it has any publication information in the front cover.
Also, for the record, I don't believe the trademark "AC Delco" was ever part of the Delco organization but was instead used by the GM Parts operations to market service products, either manufactured by one of the Delco subsidiaries or by other external companies in some cases. In fact, when Delco was transformed into an independent company under the name "Delphi", the AC Delco trademark name was retained by the GM Parts operation rather than being passed to the new independent company.
