Talk:Duchess of York

message: Somebody had recently changed this article to include that Sarah Ferguson remains The Duchess of York to emphasize the fact that she is the mother of two British Princess. However, this is incorrect. One must remember that she was not just the Duchess of York during her marriage, she was also Countess of Inverness and Baroness Killileyah and therefore if this was true she would have retained a 'Her Grace' even if she had lost the 'HRH' style as part of the divorce proceedings. Sarah, Duchess of York was only ever HRH The Duchess of York during her marriage and after her divorce she became knows as Sarah, Duchess of York, which means Sarah [formerly the] Duchess of York. The lost of the York title is reflected in the fact that there is no definate article in her name, showing everyone that was the Duchess rather than she is THE Duchess of York. As aformentioned, Sarah is NOT Her Grace The Duchess of York. In fact, the style is misleading because Sarah is in fact nothing. She is not the wife of the Duke of York, she is not a peer, she is not the Duchess of York and she is not a member of the royal family. Sarah, Duchess of York retains the title as if the title were a name and is permitted to use the style as a matter of courtesy. In fact, she may as well not have any style at all given the fact that it means absolutely nothing. When sarah remarries the York title will lapse and if she marries a Duke of x, she will become Her Grace The Duchess of X. If she marries a Mr X, she will become Mrs X and still lose the York title.
:You're completely wrong. Take a look at this PDF file from the official website of the British monarchy, which shows the members of the Royal Family. She is still a member as the mother of two princess, like Diana, who was the mother of two princes. So it's not true that she is nothing. The only right thing that you have noticed is that she will loose "Duchess of York" after her name, if she marries another person. Also it's not only Sarah who is not THE Duchess of York after divorce. Diana wasn't also THE Princess of Wales after her divorce. All of the divorced wives of peers cannot be THE Duchess/Countess of X and their titles change to "Y, Duchess/Countess of X", but it's not a good reason to say that she's nothing and isn't a member of the Royal Family. It would be better if you checked the official website of the British monarchy before saying these things. Keivan.fTalk 15:03, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: What's notable about a speeding ticket? Why would you even mention something like that in an article on anyone? Fan-1967 17:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: It is currently unclear whether this person is notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. By the notability criteria for biographies, independent reliable sources are required to make sure that the subject is notable. These sources might be, for example, significant press coverage about the person (about him, not about his employer or organization), or an independent biography. 
However, currently only one trivial source is cited, namely the article about the speeding ticket. That does not establish notability, it is merely trivia. 
Also, the fact that his wife is notable does not make him notable.
Still, if he is an important public figure, then secondary sources certainly exist. But currently no such sources are  cited in the article. Please add more sources to establish notability.
For the time being, I am replacing the “importance” tag with “notability”. Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 16:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Shwethalyaung Temple

message: Hi
I'm not sure that I am at the right place and doing the right thing - it being my first time.
The Shwethalyaung Buddha article states that this statue is the second largest in the world after the one at Dawei/Tavoy.
I have two problems with this statement:
1 - what about the Chaukhtatgyi Buddha at Yangon which is 65.83 metres in length?
2 - in your Dawei/Tavoy entry there is no mention of a reclining Buddha.
Hope this helps you.
Lonegrouper (talk) 09:01, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This entry says that Shwethalyaung Buddha is the "second largest in the world," next to another
Buddha statue in Dawei/Tavoy. However, as I looked it up through the Internet, I could not find
any information about the statue in Dawei/Tavoy, which is claimed to be the "largest" in the world,
and thus, even larger than Shwethalyaung Buddha, according to this entry.
In addition, it seems that this entry claims the statue in Dawei/Tavoy to be the largest, mainly
based on the fact that Shwethalyaung Buddha is 55m high, while the one in Dawei/Tavoy is 74m high.
However, this is quite flawed since the reason why Shwethalyaung Buddha is considered "among the largest"
is because of its weight, not because of its length. When it comes to length, Spring Temple Buddha in
Lushan, China is the largest/tallest Buddha statue in the world. (it is even the tallest statue in the
whole world; 128m high) Yet, Shwethalyaung Buddha, which is never the "tallest," becomes the "largest,"
nevertheless, since, weight-wise, it is the "heaviest."
Therefore, to claim that the Buddha statue in Dawei/Tavoy is the largest, and larger than Shwethalyaung
Buddha, one should prove that it is heavier than Shwethalyaung Buddha, not taller. Yet, this entry only
mentions the comparison of heights. This makes me deeply wonder about the validity of the statement.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pandorabox722 (talk • contribs) 18:25, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Pipeline (instrumental)

message: Is Pipeline one of the most covered "Surf" songs of all time?  Maybe.  
In the "Pop" category, I hear that "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney has 3000 recorded versions.
There are at least three different songs by the name "Pipeline".
Beginnning in summer 2006, I have verified over 200 different artists covering the song Pipeline by Carman/Spickard.
I have found another 70+ listings of songs that I have not yet verified to be the Pipeline by Carman/Spickard.
I suspect that many versions have been lost in the sea of time.
Does anyone know where I can find a comprehensive list of covers?  Do royalty companies release this sort of information?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

message: Per the request at WP:MHA, I have reviewed this article against the B class criteria. I don't believe it is up to that standard yet. I have the following suggestions for improvement:
* a history section should be included. For instance, when did the organisation begin, what name changes did it go through? Why was it formed, who helped form it, etc? These sorts of questions should be answered. I believe that a source that could be consulted for this is: Barry J. Videon (1991) Air Training Corps : the first fifty years;
* currently the article includes a number of lists. These could really be condensed into prose (full formed sentences). For instance the Aims and Activities sections could be combined and converted to prose;
* currently there are very few references to independent sources. In order to meet B class requirements, each paragraph needs to be cited and where possible this citation should be to a third party source. In this case it might be difficult to get independent sources for some of the information, but the majority of the article should be sourced in this manner;
If you would like some more detailed comments, you might consider requesting a peer review. This can be done by going to Wikipedia:Peer review (general peer review) or WP:MHPR (military specific peer review). Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 03:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Bay platform

message: I'm not sure about the list of stations with bay platforms. It is by no means complete, and I doubt it ever could be (even if it was I don't know what value it would add). I would suggest deleting this section, and perhaps replacing it in due course with some examples of different types of bay platform (e.g. side-on, on the middle of an island, etc.).
Neither am I entirely sure that this should be a UK-only article. Bay platforms exist on most railways worldwide I would imagine, although they will have different names (especially outside the Commonwealth).
Alternatively, the whole subject could be subsumed into Railway station layout. What do people think?
