Talk:Oblon

message: A contributor placed a deletion proposal on this article, stating that this law firm lacks notability, and citing a Google search that yielded only 277 hits.  However, a search on the abbreviated law firm name "Oblon Spivak" (noted in the article) yields a more substantial 122,000 articles.  In addition, this law firm is especially notable (in the field of patent law at least) because of its central role in the Festo v. Shoketsu decision issued by the US Supreme Court, among other reasons.  
Furthermore, Oblon Spivak is the subject of multiple legitimate articles in intellectual property law trade rags, such as "Intellectual Property Today," and is cited as the number one US law firm (in terms of the number of issued patents obtained for clients) for several of the past few calender years (see this Intellectual Property Today magazine article.  Therefore, because this law firm is ranked on this and other indices of patent law firms, the criterion for notability under Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations) appear to be met.--Ryanaxp 12:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Might need to change to a RU/RL combo box if anyone is keen.
The current article states Price was a Wallaby from 75-76, which differs to the Two Blues site and doesn't gel if he was playing league in 76. Unless he changed over half way through the year?  •Florrie•leave a note• 03:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Pretty sure he was at least as famous for league as union, so he should be Ray Price (rugby footballer) per the naming conventions otherwise it would indicate that he was a rugby player who dabbled in the quicker game.Londo06 20:17, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I think there may be an issue with the page being shifted. I really only know of him as a rugby league player, but was aware that he played internationals for Australia in rugby union. To indicate just rugby in Australia means the 15 a-side game and in the UK you normally add league on the end if you want to talk about the quicker game. Perhaps there is a better name for dual-code players, but unforturnately I do not think it is just rugby in brackets.Londo06 10:14, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Brian Smith (rugby league, born 1954)

message: Hi Brian,
Well done the boys and yourself had a fantastic year but we have to go one better. We only need a few minor adjustments to do this.
I beleive that we need Tom Symmonds in the centres to partner SKD as he was the only good thing that happen last year before he was injured. I thought you might have done this in the Grand Final when he was included in the squad to surprise Wayne Bennett.
Cherrington also needs to be in the team if he has recovered from injury.
This will make our team alot stronger as we are going to have two new internationals in Myles and Carney in the team.
Hargraves and Ryles need to be the starting props. 
Good luck for next year.
Eight years now nine years is along time to wait.--124.183.99.226 (talk) 21:28, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:John Le Marchant (British Army officer, born 1766)

message: The official record of all Le Marchant's commissions should be amongst these search results http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/SearchResults.aspx?GeoType=London&st=adv&sb=date&FDay=9&FMth=2&FYr=1766&TDay=31&TMth=12&TYr=1812&exact=Marchant& I've added the captaincy to the article, but haven't had time to go through all of them to separate the wheat from the chaff, I've also foudn the ODNB article and added that as a ref.  A few other points that strike me - it seems a little misleading to describe him as 2inC to Paget, Paget was doubtless the Colonel of the Regiment, but by this time day-to-day operational responsiblity devolved on the lieutenant-colonel - the colonel still approved all commissions in the regiment and kept a paternal eye on things, but rarely commanded the regiment in the field (as I understand it).  Also the article currently states that the promotion to lieutnenant-colonel was at the King's behest, ODNB says the Duke of York was responsible (and since he was CinC it's perhaps more likely).  Linking to Sale of commissions would help to explain the social disadvantage he was at, and why the loss of money at cards could have seen the end of his career.

replies: text: Well, to be precise, I start by noting that the article says that is it is used at Boy Scout camps, not that Boy Scouts use it. "Boy Scouts" can mean numerous things.  First, it can imply being a part of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), a name for the overall organization, which has not changed.   Second, "Boy Scouts" was the precious name for the original and one of the two largest programs in the BSA, which mostly consists of youth  10-1/2 to 18 years of age, most heavily 10-1/2 to 14 years of age.   1-2 yeas ago that BSA program became co-ed and was renamed to "Scouts USA".    Finally, Philmont, which mostly serves older (14 years-old up) youth has, for decades,  had substantial attendance by BSA's smaller "older youth" programs (e.g. Exploring) which for 50+ years have included girls. I'll probably tweak it accordingly. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:52, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
