Talk:Transportation Manufacturing Corporation

message: Something here is really confusing me, and I'm hoping maybe some of the TMC buffs can answer this for me.
This sentence confuses me: "TMC sold its Classic bus license to NovaBus in 1991 and spun off in 1993 as Motor Coach Industries."
Uh, didn't MCI own the Classic from 1987 - 1993 when NovaBus acquired the Classic? Where does TMC fit into this? I thought the only design acquired from GMC that TMC built was the RTS... Ugh, what's going on? --hfx_chris 00:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: TMC in the 1970s made the same bus that MCI did except for choice of options, in that MCI offered more options and higher pricing and TMC fewer and lower pricing but TMC buses were bought mostly by Greyhound Lines for its own use while MCI buses were sold mostly to other bus companies. This was told to me by a Greyhound bus driver back then, in the days of the MC-9, MC-8, MC-7, and MC-5 (I forgot letter suffixes). I don't have a source.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Game junkie

message: Keep I think it's important for Game Junkie to be listed in Wikipedia...perhaps it's because the definition of non-notable is....nebulous. The status of non-notable is simply a matter of opinion. 
Wiki has a listing for the Delhi Sands Flower loving fly. Many would consider this fly a non-notable insect..many have never even heard of it. Does it deserve deletion for being non-notable insect simply because it lives in one small section of the United States? I could find more people in a 50 mile radius who have heard of Game Junkie and not the Delhi Sands Flower Loving Fly...which, then is more notable? 
More children can identify Mario than Gerald Ford...is Gerald Ford non-notable and in peril of deletion? 
Game Junkie tournaments attract players from the four corners of the United States..this can be proven and submitted upon request.

Talk:Patrick Brontë

message: Changes made in first paragraph relating to spelling of surname.  Two external links were no longer working, so I deleted them. linda216~~
Supposedly Patrick Brunty admired the great British Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté, and changed his name to honor Nelson. That would also explain the accent mark, since the King of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinand, created Nelson a Duke in appreciation for his victory over the French at the Battle of the Nile, in 1798. References for that supposition would be welcomed here. Dthomsen8 (talk) 02:43, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The article as I found it implies he was a curate all his working life.  In fact, taking cue from his entry in Venn (already a linked citation), he was a curate up to 1820 when he became Vicar (abbreviated "V" in Venn) of Haworth, not perpetual curate.  Immediately prior he was Perpetual Curate ("P.C." in Venn) of Thornton-le-Dale.  I have changed his introductory description to read clergyman, not curate.Cloptonson (talk) 21:23, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

message: This article is not sufficiently referenced per Wikipedia:Citing sources and WikiProject Schools. From the latter:
*References — Provide verifiable reliable sources of information about the school, that are independent of the school itself. This may include newspaper and magazine articles on the school. For private schools, an accreditation body or government source should be provided to show the organization is a legitimate school. An article should not rely solely on what its subject has to say about itself (as with any article in Wikipedia). If a resource is online (which is ideal) consider that potential it will go offline (newspaper's often allow free reading only for recent stories) and provide sufficient information that the story could still be found (author, publication, full article title, date, etc). See Wikipedia:Footnotes the technical details of how to do this in a standard format.
Until this issue has been addressed, the citation tag should remain. --Zantastik talk 00:59, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lady Charlotte Bury

message: How many volumes of Diary illustrative of the Times of George IV were there? 2, 3, or 4? Did they come out at different times? The current wording is confusing. Kaldari (talk) 06:13, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I confused the situation, though the wording is accurate (according to the sources): Symons' annotation regarding WM Rossetti's discovery refers to a third volume, not mentioned in the DNB (1900) and contradicting Cousin's Dictionary. I imagine the publishing history and attribution are noted by a later (20C) biographer of Bury or Blake, and suppose the publishing success (scandal) of the material generated sequels ("four volumes, in 1839" Symons). I wanted the note about Blake, but am currently without access to better sources, so, apologies, I intended to clarify the situation later if no one else does. cygnis insignis 10:23, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I have dispersed the criticism section to other parts of the article (per WP:CRIT) but I am not convinced that it is an improvement. The history section is long and devoid of any themes e.g. acquisitions, management changes and media criticism. If anyone wants to have a go at this, please do so. Views welcome. Dormskirk (talk) 23:42, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism section 

message: So, further to @Dormskirk's suggestion, I did an overhaul of history to group thematically, because chronology just becomes a horrible laundry list, and on an organisation with such complex history it just doesn't work, and the linkage between elements breaks - e.g. the acquisition vs disposal and so on.
I believe that this is the only way to structure history, and not saying it can't be improve upon, but @john_baost came and moved it to chronological.
I've reverted that, because I think it still doesn't work, so here we are on talk to discuss. OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 14:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

message: When would one use "ignore but revert later"? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 22:50, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess an alternative to this one is just 'ignore', but that has no meaningful initials. Say someone writes 'poop' on your talk page, you have options. One is to hastily revert, only to be reverted, and revert, so on until a block arrives. That's RBI, or maybe edit-warring. Another is to block first, only to find a different IP or sock reverting, revert, and so on. That's BRI, or maybe Whac-a-mole. But when it doesn't entirely matter if your talk page contains the word poop, or you can get around to cleaning it up the next day or the next time you're around, the vandal can often be mightily unimpressed by the lack of response. The same can apply to other backwaters of Wikipedia, where hundreds or millions of readers are not going to come across the offending changes, you can often take your time. Vandals can get bored of waiting for a response. Or at least they may be wasting their time and might not be doing other things. Another common example, is where some vandal gets blocked, and starts trashing their talk page. The consequences of doing nothing about it are usually approximately zero. Maybe clean it up later, maybe not ..but ignoring it, at least in any immediate time frame, is often best. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:32, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

message: The assertion, under the heading "Discrimination", that besides charter member Levi Bloom, a Jew, "the club did not admit another Jewish member until 1974", is not borne out by the historical record.

(Louisville Free Public Library, Kentucky History Collection, 367 P397a Vol. 1904) An anecdote is that Bernard Flexner financed the club's debt during the Great Depression so as to keep it from bankruptcy (per the club's informal historian John C.

replies: text: In this edit: , I removed unsourced material added on 6 July 2013, in edit Special:Diff/557495655/563080288, from the "History" section. It was copypasted by a user with a pattern of copyright violations. The first two paragraphs seem to originate in the 2004 Sydney Morning Herald article, though that same text is found on the Rainbow Beach Commerce and Tourism Association website. That website additionally has the second two paragraphs. The archive.org site only has archives for that page going back to 2017, so according to that it could be possible that the text was copied from Wikipedia to there. However it's unlikely that the user copypasted text from the Herald site, then added their own original text after that, and much more likely that the Rainbow Beach tourism page existed before the edit, and the whole thing was copied from it. Furthermore, the user appears to be the same person as now-blocked , who has an extensive history of copyright violations, and in my experience has a poor command of English and is not capable of writing the text in question.
