Talk:Days of Thunder

message: "bump-and-grind"??? NASCAR as strip-tease, I guess. The terms are "rubbing"--as used in the movie--and "bump-drafting", which was not in the movie. --Buckboard 04:08, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Paramount's Great America (California) had a Days of Thunder ride in their "Paramount Action FX Theater" for a while (it was fun to ride).  That might be worth mentioning.

thread_title:  Trivia Section 

message: This article would have been more interesting to me if there was information on the charactor Buddy Breverton.  He is dead before the movie starts.  What I wanted to know is if this incident was based on actual events.  
That section of the article where the topic of if the movie is based on actual events has been criticized for being OR, but my thinking is that some of this material is very interesting and probably there are good sources out there.
So was buddy based on an actual historical figure?  If this article explained that I would likebit better. 2601:204:F000:A00:109B:76F3:636:493B (talk) 08:47, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Bluegreen Vacations Duel

message: Since this race has double winners annually, here is a format for the completion of the table. It is not very tricky, it only requires the  tag (without the periods, of course) to separate the two rows. I think the rows should be a double line rather than seperate rows for each of the two races. Since they are not stand-alone races, and the results are ultimately merged for the starting lineup, they should be depicted as "one event" each year. Doctorindy 17:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Van Orden

message: What caused his disbarment? -- Toytoy June 28, 2005 18:06 (UTC)
: Texas State Bar records show Van Orden's law license was suspended in 1985, in 1989 and in 1999 -- mostly for taking money from clients for work that he did not perform and for failing to pay fees ordered in disciplinary judgments. The 1995 suspension also ordered him to provide a psychiatric opinion certifying that his "current state of mental health does not render him incapable of routine law practice."
: Van Orden remains on active suspension, prohibited from representing anyone in court other than himself, because he has failed to pay fees ordered in the 1995 disciplinary judgment, a bar official said. He also has not paid the bar dues to reactivate his license.
: From The Washington Post. -- Toytoy June 28, 2005 18:14 (UTC)
:: I lived in Austin during this whole hubbub and I remember reading in the Statesman that Van Orden didn't want to be "rebarred." However, I can't find the article online to source it so I'll, of course, leave this out of the Wikipedia article. Rstandefer 18:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Renier of Montferrat

message: Villehardouin suggests that Thessalonica was a sort of "consolation prize" for the Marquis of Montferrat for not having been chosen Emperor, and also because it bordered on the territory of his relative by marriage, the King of Hungary. He doesn't say anything about Renier's Byzantine title.

replies: text: I can't find this in Robert de Clari (mind you, the CFMA edition has an incomplete index ...) Boniface asks for Salonica, all right, but he doesn't cite Renier in his support. In my own notes the statement that Boniface's claim was strengthened by memories of Renier and Maria goes back only to Runciman (vol. 3 p. 125). Runciman's cited sources for this paragraph, which I can't check, are (1) Longnon, L'Empire latin de Constantinople pp. 49-64, and the partition treaty in Tafel and Thomas, Urkunden pp. 464-468.

Talk:Mathematical structure

message: An article about 'Mathematical structure' should be crystal clear about the relationship between said structure, the set to which it is "attached", and perhaps a resulting object that is comprised of the set and the structure. But the intro seems to muddle some of this together.
 (1)In mathematics, a structure on a set is an additional mathematical object that, in some manner, attaches (or relates) to that set to endow it with some additional meaning or significance.
What is the "some manner" of attachment? 
 (2) A partial list of possible structures are measures, algebraic structures (groups, fields, etc.), topologies, metric structures (geometries), orders, events, equivalence relations, differential structures, and categories.
So... groups and fields are structures? Is this stating that you add structure to a set to create a structure? That seems circular, or at least uses two different meanings of the word "structure".
 (3) Sometimes, a set is endowed with more than one structure simultaneously; this enables mathematicians to study it more richly.
Not my main point, but this sentence suggests that adding a structure to a set causes a change in mathematicians' studying abilities. Seems to me that the thing that gets richer (has more complex characteristics) is the new object formed from combining a set with some structure. The mathematicians retain their original studying abilities, and can apply those to the study of the new, more complex object.
 (4) For example, an ordering imposes a rigid form, shape, or topology on the set. As another example, if a set has both a topology and is a group, and these two structures are related in a certain way, the set becomes a topological group. 
Again, this seems to use the word "structure" in two different ways: As something that a group can have, and something that a group can be.

Talk:Rollie Zeider

message: Notes on Rollie Zeider based on research I have done at the Willennar Genealogical Center in Auburn, Indiana:
1. His parents were William C. Zeider (1836-1917) and Lydia (Lidy) Smith Zeider (1841-1915).  His father had several children by a previous marriage.
2. Although Rollie's place of birth is often given as Auburn, he was born at or near Hoover, Indiana, also known as Hooverville and Hoover Station, in rural Cass County, Indiana on the Eel River near Logansport. His father was a farmer there.
3. The 1900 US Census shows the family living in Auburn in 1900.  Rollie's father then worked in a sawmill.
4. Rollie married Alberta Doyle (1890-1916).  I do not know where or in what year the marriage took place.  She died of tuberculosis on November 7, 1916, in Auburn.
5. Rollie married Margaret Pilgrim (born about 1895) in DeKalb County, Indiana on June 25, 1917.  I have no information about when she died.
6. Rollie's local nickname in DeKalb County was "Polly."
7. After retiring from professional baseball, Rollie ran Polly's Tavern on North Peters Street in Garrett, Indiana.
8. Rollie moved to Orland, Indiana in neighboring Steuben County in 1959.
9. Rollie died in the Garrett Community Hospital in Garrett on September 12, 1967.  He was buried beside Alberta in Block 14 of Woodlawn Cemetery in Auburn.

Talk:Bobby Allison

message: The Early Life section of this article seems to read more like a story than an actual encyclopedic article. The usage of flavorful words and the style is more like a series of events that are unfolding as you read them (like a novel), not like events that have all already taken place (which they have). The section should be redone in a more formal style, making sure that Bobby Allison is the subject of the sentences, not other people (that this article is not about). I will hope others more knowledgeable about this person or subject can help to fix this, but if not, I can do some work on it.
Another thing is the general lack of citations. Especially for an article about a living person, citations are needed for information that could be challenged. A lot of the information in this section doesn't sound unbelievable, but can very well be incorrect. We simply don't know, because of the lack of citations. Again for emphasis, as an article about a living person, citations are necessary. I don't have the luxury of time to be spending looking for sources, though, so I may leave that to another person.
