message: They can't be merged. National Hunt is the Offical Name for jump racing in the UK.[ http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/horse_racing/2390215.stm] Steeplechase is a generic description that applies to all, including the UK's National Hunt. As such, the National Hunt has to remain a separate article defining it with a link/reference in the main Steeplechasing article. - Handicapper 16:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

message: are flat races for horses that have not yet competed either in flat racing or over obstacles, often called 'bumper' races

message: This is a general article about NH racing.

Talk:The Chair (Aintree Racecourse)

message: TPH has moved this article from The Chair to The Chair (Grand National), which was mooted at the AfD. I don't actually think this name is sufficiently accurate, it's a fence at Aintree that is there the whole time, and is jumped in races besides the Grand National. I'm not quite sure what a better name might be, but we ought to have the conversation here. Bigger digger (talk) 22:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Swim (Feeder album)

message: My project for this morning - cleaning up the mess that is "swim" when start to type that into the search page.   The first problem seems to be with the band, which has two main articles (one for the EP one for the re-release) plus a whopping 6 redirects which completely fill up the search autocomplete box when searching on swim.  I am proposing that the two main articles be merged (because in fact the first EP article already speaks extensively about the re-release) and that all the redirects be removed.  
:*Swim (EP) - orig - should be the surviving article
::*Swim (Feeder EP)
::*Swim (album)
::*Swim (EP by Feeder) poo
::*Sweet 16 (Feeder song)
:*Swim (Feeder album) - re-release should be merged to original article
::*Swim Rerelease
::*Swim (Album by Feeder)
The next problem is that there are two disambiguation pages Swim and Swim (disambiguation).   The first should survive, and the second should be renamed Swimming (disambiguation) which does not currently exist, however that second article already almost exclusively covers swimming links.  
Will put this on the relevant talk pages as I make the changes.   Please talk to me if you disagree with the approach.   Thanks.   JCutter (talk) 23:08, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Allentown (song)

message: I'm sure I read somewhere that he was going to originally call it Levittown after where he grew up, but changed his mind.  Can anyone find a proper source? mentioned 
The Billy Joel song Allentown actually began as Levittown and was to be a song about where Joel grew up. Unfortunately he found the city rather boring and these are the lyrics he wound up with:
Well we're living here in Levittown
And there's really not much going down.
I don't see much when I look around,
The grass is green, the trees are brown
And we're living here in Levittown. 
and 
Yet in Stuart Bird's documentary ``Building the American Dream, Joel said he strained to write a song specifically about his home. Unable to think of what to say, he gave up and changed ``Levittown to ``Allentown, producing yet another hit.

Talk:Munich S-Bahn

message: There are IP editors (possibly all the same person) repeatedly removing content from London Bridge station, specifically the statement "Platform 6 is the busiest railway platform in Europe, due to the necessity of routing all trains heading to Charing Cross and  through it", on the grounds that "there are busiest in Paris(RER) and Munich(S-Bahn)" and other variants, some abusive. I have started a thread at Talk:London Bridge station#Busiest platform in Europe, but unfortunately, they (he? she?) won't provide reliable sources, and doesn't seem to want to discuss. Does anybody know of a station anywhere on the Munich S-Bahn which has a verifiable claim to have the busiest railway platform in Europe?

thread_title:  Hirschgarten 

message: The article lead previously included the following (talking about the term S-Bahn):
:and was originally used to describe German suburban light rail networks
The term S-Bahn originated in Berlin, in the 1920s, and has always been used to refer to heavy rail systems, usually operated by main line railway operators, but with urban rapid transit (initially) and/or (more recently) suburban railway attributes. Some sources suggest it originally stood for just Schnellbahn, but now it is generally understood to stand for Stadtschnellbahn. The author has, I suspect, mixed this up with the linguistically similar, but somewhat different in meaning, Stadtbahn.
I have just removed the statement, as I don't think it necessary to discuss all this in this article, although some clarification may be needed at S-Bahn. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 13:50, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Beestonian stage

message: I should not say that the Beestonian is equavalent to the Bavelian, Waalian and Eburonian (super)stages from the Netherlands Quaternary subdivision. The Beestonian has been defined as one single cold stage. That cold-climate sediments from other sites (from different/other cold stages) have been assigned to the Beestonian as well is irrelevant. The definition states that the Beestonian is a single cold stage. Sediments from elsewhere that have another age but have nevertheless included in the Beestonian should be assigned to another stage with a name of its own.
The Beestonian doubtlessly correlates with a single cold stage in the Netherlands somewhere between the first 'Cromerian' interglacial and the <U>Late</U> Tiglian warm stage. This is a very long period that includes a number of cold and warm stages. 
Because the completeness of the Netherlands Quaternary record is doubtful, it is not wise to state that one cold stage is equivalent to three (super)stages that are composed of warm and cold stages and from which it is also doubtful if these represent the entire stretch of time.
The notion that the stratigraphical age of glacial stages can be determined with help of (whatever) paleontology is incorrect. Cold climate fossils (palynology, malacology, foraminifera, etc.) are generally age indifferent. Cold stages can be recognized as cold by means of their fossils but these fossils have no bearing for the age of the sediments. Besides, most sediments that have been deposited during cold stages do not bear fossils at all. Therefore, the age of most cold stages can only be determined on the basis of sediments from under- or overlying warm stages (if no hiatus exists between the warm and the cold sediments!). Many cold stages have hardly chronostratigraphical significance if only based on paleontology.--Tom Meijer (talk) 10:45, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
