Talk:Kidnapping and murder of Kenneth Bigley

message: According to the BBC and to our front page, his death has now been confirmed. Someone who's been following the story closer than I have will need to make some changes to the article to bring it up to date.

thread_title: Confirmed

message: This paragraph in the intro needs a source and it's not clear it belongs in the intro anyway; it sounds as though we're blaming the men for having been kidnapped. "Before they were kidnapped, the men were repeatedly warned about their security and welfare by security personnel hired by their employers to keep them safe. Despite being in such a hostile environment, the men often thwarted advice given to them and went out into the streets without protection or taking simple steps to avoid attracting attention."

Talk:City of Denver (train)

message: There is a move discussion in progress which affects this page. Please participate at Talk:City_of_Los_Angeles - Requested move and not in this talk page section. Thank you. 05:38, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: The article says that "the City of Denver covered the Chicago–Omaha portion of its route in 7 hours 26 minutes at an average speed of 75.3 miles per hour", which is supported by Klein.  There must be an error in the source, as the distance from Chicago to Omaha on the C&NW was 488 miles, and a 7 hr 26 min. timing converts to 65.7 mph, so Klein's math does not work.  (In February 1941 the train was scheduled to cover that distance in 7 hours 41 minutes, Official Guide, Feb. 1941, p. 812, for an average speed of 65.5 mph.  Perhaps Klein was using the timing of 7 hours 26 minutes for the 485 miles to Council Bluffs.)  Kablammo (talk) 00:36, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Template talk:Places in Singapore

message: I don't think "suburbs" is suitable, because the list includes places like Orchard Road, Tanjong Pagar, Raffles Place, and so forth that are clearly in downtown Singapore. -- ran (talk) 17:59, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
Suburb exists, whether there are downtowns or not, hence suburb must be included for certain areas, while the rest could retain their original titles.
Should we include mention of things like the Central Area and urban planning divisions by the URA, or is that not needed? I'm thinking it would provide a sense of orientation as well as an outlook on the country as a whole, ie. division of functions among towns. -- Natalinasmpf 03:58, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm watching planet green's' story about Hapshepsut with Zahi Hawass, and the Egyptian workers who are digging for evidence of Hatshepsut are doing a 'call and response' as they work. Fascinating. 6/26/2011.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.92.14.172 (talk) 01:08, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contemporary Egyptian workers 'call and response' 

message: The article includes the following description, which excels at obfuscation:
'...with movement in a counterclockwise circle (the direction the sun moves south of the equator)...'
.
The number of problems packed into so few words is noteworthy and would be impressive if it had been intentional. 
- Circles are not clockwise or counterclockwise.... movement is. 
- The sun does not 'move south of the equator'.  It is of course the rotation of the Earth giving us a perception.
- It still does not make it clear what is being described... the motion of the sun would appear clockwise if looking south at the sun's apparent motion 'south of the equator'  and counterclockwise looking north at the sun's apparent motion 'south of the equator.

Talk:1930 Canadian federal election

message: I have done some research to clarify two outstanding points on this page:
1. The CCF candidate formerly identified here appears to have been a Liberal candidate after all, so those mislabelled results have been added to the Liberal totals.
2. One Tory backbencher appears to have run as a Progressive-Conservative. Maybe I'll write an article about him some day.

This is certainly not appropriate considering that someone under the age of 18 could be researching Yom Kippur and see these images.  It could also be offensive to others researching a religious article and not expecting these images.2600:1700:7F11:6420:80EB:C085:30F:8B13 (talk) 00:38, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Historically, they watch a large piece of land in

message: I want to notify all editors of this page that I created a page for the Rev. Harold Mars, but its status is uncertain because the page is "underlinked". I would add more links to it, but I'm afraid there are no places to do so other than this page, and the reason is that the Narragansett tribe as a whole is underrepresented on Wikipedia. For instance, the only entry for "Narragansett Church" concerns an Anglican church located in the town of Narragansett. But the Narragansett Indian Church has no page, in spite of its crucial importance in establishing the continuity of the Narragansett nation and ensuring its recognition by the U.S. government.
I am hereby creating an orphan page for the Narragansett Indian Church and I urge other editors familiar with this history to create a page for it. I also urge the creation of other pages regarding the history of the Narragansett people, and the addition of links to Rev. Mars, in order to keep his page active. -Wwallacee (talk) 13:16, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003 TV series) →  – Per WP:SMALLDETAILS, this article doesn't need to be disambiguated from every article titled something resembling Star Wars: Clone Wars, it only has to be disambiguated from other works that could be referred to with that exact title. The 2008 show and the movie have a "the" in the title, and should thus be different enough to avoid problems. Although both are colloquially referred to as Clone Wars, just as this show is, neither is really ever referred to or could be titled here as Star Wars: Clone Wars because that title would be wrong. The only article titled exactly Star Wars: Clone Wars is the one about the comics, which is much less important than this article (it's basically just a list of comics titled something like Clone Wars or The Clone Wars, and has less than 400 views in the last month compared to over 27,000 for this article).
