Talk:East Haddam Swing Bridge

message: We seem to have two sources with noticably different data.  Are they both talking about the same span?  The longer measurement is talking about the swing span, not the stationary one.  I don't know what BridgeHunter is talking about.  Note that the NBI is not necessarily accurate.   We need to find a third, or more, source.  - Denimadept (talk) 10:27, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The swing span is the approx 456' span, but it is really two spans of ~228' or so because the pier is in the middle. I'm not an expert on what determines a 'main span', but the longer span is actually the stationary thru-truss, which is 326.1 ft center-to-center of the bearings (one of the longest thru-trusses in the state). 23.25.224.97 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 13:20, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:French King Bridge

message: Which is it?  According to MassHighway's website, it's an arch.  According to the Bridge Basics site, it's really a cantilever.  I've posted a question to MassHighway to ask them about this, and will reflect their answer in the article when it arrives. Denimadept 20:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Arch or Cantilever? 

message: Okay, here is another puzzle. The Mass Highway website states that this is one of four known steel deck bridges in its database (under the "Significance of Bridge" heading). However, it also states that the 1992 rehab involved replacing the deck with a new concrete deck (under "Structure Type"). I don't know enough about bridges to know if this is still a "steel deck" bridge, a bridge that originally had a steel deck that was replaced with a concrete one or if the steel deck always had a concrete deck over it and that was the component replaced. For now, I removed the "steel deck" from the description. Neltana (talk) 22:26, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't answer that.  What I can say is that during my research for the Harvard Bridge article, I found that the bridge originally had a wooden deck with an asphalt "wearing surface".  I don't know if there was something similar here, or if maybe something like the filled steel grid in that bridge is related to what they did here.  Are you going to provide an article about the French King Rock? - Denimadept (talk) 22:30, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think French King Rock is notable enough to warrant an article...it is one of those touristy things that contributes its name to a number of things around here (e.g., "French King Highway", "French King Bridge"). It seems like it would be nice if there was a decent article on it and its history. I'm going to try to assemble something, hence my addition of the internal link to French King Rock. I also figured it might prompt some other helpful soul to contribute it. Neltana (talk) 14:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Alternate names for the Angolan Lark (Mirafra angolensis) listed on Avibase would indicate that at one time this species was considered conspecific with Sharpe's Lark, listing Red Somali Lark, Somali Rufous-naped Lark, Mirafra africana sharpei, Mirafra africana sharpii, Mirafra sharpei as synonyms. Given the disjunct range and lack of corroborating notes on the Rufous-naped Lark entry, I find it difficult to trust this info. As I have not found any other source that confirms this, I can only assume that this is a typographic/transcription error at Avibase and have not placed this info in the article.

Talk:Patryck de Froidmont

message: This article is an attempt to discredit me, using my pseudonym in the creation comment. The creator of this article is probably a well-known vandal on fr. I happened to have a discussion with him on an external blog these last two days, and he challenged the merits of fr:Patryck de Froidmont. I am still gathering sources to beef up that article on the WP:fr.
Quite honestly, I do not even know whether Patryck de Froidmont meets WP:en notoriety criteria and I myself would probaby not create this article here based on his artistic carreer that is limited, as far as I know, to Belgium, France, Netherlands and maybe a bit in Germany (as I said, I am still gathering information). 
There is probably one thing that would appeal to the typical WP:en reader, it is the fact that the guy created a spoof of Batman a couple of years ago, fr:Bêteman (pronounce ""Bateman", "bête" means "stupid") and was sued by DC Comics (and won the trial). But whether that would suffice to create an article, I do not know, that is why I haven't done it yet.
I suggest this article be scrutinised or even immediately deleted and the creator be put under close surveillance. Bradipus 13:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Beginnings of the Archipelago (1)
Some 50 million years ago, the archipelago was formed by volcanic eruptions. About 30,000 years ago the earliest inhabitants had arrived from the Asian mainland, perhaps over land bridges built during the ice ages. By the tenth century A.D. coastal villagers welcomed Chinese commerce and settlers, followed by Muslim traders from Borneo. The early inhabitants of the Philippines were Mongoloid descent which are predominant today. The gradual spread of Islam from Borneo into the central and northern islands was interrupted by the arrival of the Spanish Christians. 115.147.58.136 (talk) 04:12, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

As a wikipedia user, I find spoilers quite obnoxious and do not wish to be revealed crucial plot issues, wether it be in an encyclopedia or anywhere else. I am not against the ending of works of fiction to be revealed on wikipedia but I really think that every detailed plot should be preceded by a spoiler warning.
