Talk:Bay Ridge–95th Street station

message: I'm not very sure that "Bay Ridge–95th Street" is the "official" name, per se. The MTA is very fuzzy on station names. While it is called Bay Ridge often (on The Map, for example), the signage in the station still reads simply "95th Street." What is "official" is highly ambiguous; this is something about the MTA that irritates me to no end. —Larry V (talk) 21:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Marguerite de Navarre

message: In this paragraph: A special opprobrium comes from Pierre Bayle (1647-1706), French philosopher and critic, whose Dictionnaire historique et critique (Historical and Critical Dictionary, 1697) greatly influenced the French Encyclopedists and the rationalist philosophers of the 18th century, such as Voltaire and Diderot. Bayle wrote: "... for a queen to grant her protection to people persecuted for opinions which she believes to be false; to open a sanctuary to them; to preserve them from the flames prepared for them; to furnish them with a subsistence; liberally to relieve the troubles and inconveniences of their exile, is an heroic magnanimity which has hardly any precedent ..."  it seems to me that opprobrium is not the correct word. Bayle is complimenting Marguerite here, not being derogatory. -- Someone else 04:36, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)

message: I hope I haven't made a mess of this disambiguation.  My reasons for clarifying this page are:
# Those who study literature rather than history tend to refer to Marguerite de Navarre as though "de Navarre" were her last name.  This should make her easier to find for them, as many of them would not think to search under "Marguerite of Navarre."
# There is a 12th-century queen of Sicily also called "Marguerite/Margherita/Margarita/Margaret of Navarre."  This helps to distinguish the two. Iamvered 22:09, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This point has now been clarified.  It would be nice, however, if the article mentioned what actual connection to Spain he has.  Has he ever visited that country?  Can he speak Spanish?  One reason Franco chose Juan Carlos over the Carlist claimants was that Juan Carlos was truly Spanish, whereas Carlos Hugo was French by almost any meaningful definition.  I'm wondering if that's equally true of Sixtus. — Lawrence King (talk) 00:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

text: Answered my own question:  Sixtus gave a brief speech at a Carlist rally on July 25, 2005 in Haro, La Rioja .  So he certainly has visited Spain, and apparently speaks Spanish. — Lawrence King (talk) 02:35, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I was able to find in the Traditionalism (Spain) article information which claims Sixtus and his movement is aligned with the Society of Saint Pius X, but there are no sources to back it up.

Talk:WGBN

message: The move to the new frequency is fact.  That they are moving so as to get a stronger signal and therefore more market.  The piece about left versus right is all POV.  Especially characterizing KDKA as left (Mike Pintack being but one obvious exception).  Further "... after getting the OK from the FCC" is unnecessary, as the radio station (not being a pirate station) would not be able to switch frequencies any other way.
The original content that I modified was:
 The station is currently in the process of switching signals with WAVL-AM, going from AM 1360 to 
 the stronger AM 910, after getting the OK from the FCC. This move is being done so that the station,  
 which has an even amount of liberal and conservative talk (a rarity on radio), can compete better 
 with the right (WPGB-FM) and the left (longtime market leader KDKA-AM). This is expected to  
 be finished sometime in 2006.
Feel free to discuss here.
----
Wikipedia's formal policy on What Wikipedia is Not specifically mentions that programming schedules for radio stations are not appropriate content.
Many radio station articles (probably written by people associated with the station) tend to digress into a competitive analysis of their local radio market, which I believe to not be relevant content as it invariably is not neutral POV and constantly changing...so I would agree that comparing which station in town is more left or right is not encyclopedic.StreamingRadioGuide  —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 09:06, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Netherlands? 

message: Kent Henderson's definition: pg 21, Masonic World Guide 1984 edition:  "There are two main types of masonic government - the Grand Lodge and the Grand Orient.  Both have their similarities, and their differences . . . "  pg 23 "The Grand Orient.  This form of masonic government possesses many inherent differences to Grand Lodge-type structures.  A Grand Orient can in many ways be termed as a "substitute" for a Grand Lodge.  It is of French origin, and is in effect, a masonic oligarchy.  The term means Grand East - the east being only part of the lodge.  This terminology is most definitive, as a Grand Orient is usually comprised of a Grand Master and a council.  The Grand Master is always appointed by the council, and the council has the sole power to appoint any member to it, with the result being that it is entirely a self-perpetuating body.  The net result of this Grand system is that it excludes the effective voice of far more than it includes.  The oridinary mason, therefore, has no say whatsoever in Masonic government under a Garnd Orient.  This system, not surprisingly, has historically faced many challenges from within and without.  In terms of regular masonry, those jurisdictions using a Grand Orient system have seen it modified to make it more democratic and representative.
Grand Orients and Supreme Councils.  The prevalent feature of many Grand Orients is that they have often come to be controlled by a Scottish Rite Supreme Council.  This type of masonic body is also a masonic oligarchy, even in Britain and America, although this is not the point of issue here.  Of course, as was explained in the last chapter, such an occurrence is regarded by regular Grand Lodges as being a gross irregularity.  However, there are some Grand Orients wherein this Supreme Council control has not occurred."--Vidkun 22:33, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grand Orient definition 

message: I get the reasoning behind the prod, however, before it goes away, this information defining the difference between various types of GL's should go into the GL article, such as the oligarchical nature of GO's (Council is self selected, and appoints GM from within the Council) the historical trend of GO's being subordinate to a "higher" Rite (AASR SC), as well as the specific diffent GL structures in the US (appointed, elected, all PM's etc).  I just feel that the GL article should reflect the different styles of GL's there are.  Do I have time to be bold and add it?

message: The section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_shelter#Sustainable_design feels a lot like advertising for the book "Urgent Architecture: 40 Sustainable Housing Solutions for a Changing World," by Meinhold, Bridgette (2013).
