Talk:Fort Nelson (Kentucky)

message: I believe Fort-on-Shore deserves coverage but as a temporary precursor to the upriver Fort Nelson (Kentucky). Fort-on-Shore has stood as a very small stub for two decades, and I can't see any significant prospects for expansion. I suggest a merge and redirect to Fort Nelson (Kentucky). Note that I created both articles. I decided that for the good of Wikipedia, it would be best if didn't proceed in a bold manner and just merge because of how longstanding this article is.

Talk:Midnight Tides

message: I'm going to have a go at writing a summary...
- Sir Thursday
Good job. Unfortunately all the MBF pages seem to be getting hit with warnings about their plot summaries being too long. Not too sure why when the summaries for other book series are of a similar nature. OTOH, the Wheel of Time pages have very compact plot summaries. Maybe we should be aiming for something similar? Just hitting the 'beats' of the storyline without detailing every single minor plot element? I know this will be difficult due to the complexity of MBF, but it's something we'll have to look at.--Werthead 23:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I couldn't figure out how to comment to this right, but this is my(tehol's) attempt.
The plot summary may be long, but it is short relatively, considering the book is 698 pages. I understand that the article is in violation of policy, but I find it misleading to say the plot is too long. If there is an approximate ratio of real life significance to plot summary that needs to be attained, then it is not the plot that is too long, but the rest is too short.
I will try to grab some real life stuff for it, on the internet. --Tehol (talk) 21:10, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Joan Coromines

message: In his DCECH, he signs as Joan Corominas.

Why did he use Coromines in Catalan and Corominas in Spanish?
--Error 18:48, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure it makes sense to translate surnames from catalan to spanish. It should be always "Coromines". I guess there could be the possibility that the name had originally been written as "Corominas" in the spanish registry and then (in exile or when democracy was reinstated in Spain) he might have changed it to the form "Coromines" which is more genuinely catalan. But then it would make more sense to say something like "sometimes also spelled as Corominas" than to suggest that surnames should be translated from catalan to spanish.

Talk:John Kay (flying shuttle)

message: The section on the "Colchester connection" was created by me (alan@awscott.freeserve.co.uk) based on the article cited by my father.
Unfortunately the Essex Journal only exists in paper format - so I am unable to provide a hyperlink citation.
A previous reference to the "Colchester connection" has been found, from early 1847, when a local antiquary gave a talk claiming that inventor of the Flying Shuttle was distantly related to him through a family in Coggeshall, Essex.
Whilst there was a John Kay born in Coggeshall at the material time the other details do not match.

Talk:Julius Caesar (1970 film)

message: For a British film, four Americans in character parts is significance. To write that "Robert Vaughn, who plays Casca, and Richard Chamberlain, who plays Octavius, are the only Americans in the film other than Robards and Heston" is not only illogical but misleading. Why not say instead that there were four Americans in leading roles: Charlton Heston, etc"?Royalcourtier (talk) 06:58, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Americans in film 

message: This sentence was in this article: "Considerable male and female nudity was filmed, resulting in pre-release publicity, but the version exhibited in America lacked all such scenes." I find this considerably doubtful, since this was a high-budget prestige film with an A list cast in 1970. I highly doubt they got Sir John Gielgud to do Shakespeare in the nude. I checked the reference, which is a single line from a book Epic Films by Gary Allen Smith. Smith provides no references for this assertion. None of the contemporary reviews of the film, including the NYT and Ebert reviews cited in the article, mention anything about nudity. Since their basic critique of the film is that it was exceedingly milquetoast, if nudity had been featured in pre-release publicity they likely would have said something about it. I was not able to find any sort of pre-release publicity for the film online to confirm or deny this nudity assertion. In sum, this sentence is at best unconfirmed and at worst fabricated by Gary Allen Smith. It should not be featured on the Wikipedia entry, and I have removed it.

Talk:Tâb

message: This article is based on a board games book in Danish, and I wrote it mostly because I needed to link to it from the article Daldøs. Anyone having a better source or first-hand knowledge, please contribute! - E.g., how old is the game? Where is it actually played, under which names? Are the rules and game materials identical in the whole region? Are the rules presented correctly?
It's not clear to me how a tâb throw is used to split up a stack of pieces - do they still occupy the same square, bot not as a stack, or is just one of the pieces moved one square ahead, leaving the other pieces (assuming there were more than two to begin with) still stacked?
It seems to me the rules must lead to lots of disputes about the legality of various moves: Has a certain piece already been through row 4 or not? Has one of the pieces in a stack previously occupied a given square or not? Without a meticulous record of the game, how are such disputes resolved?--Niels Ø 19:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: New article; contributions welcome

message: Ultimately there are only 2 authoritative sources for Tâb.  Hyde (1694) is rare, not available online (that I've seen), and (to use Parlett's phrase) "a multilingual farrago". The other is Lane, which I've just added to the References section; the pages in question in this edition are 353-56 [I updated the edition: now pp 346-349 in 5th ed]. Other sources noted for Tâb in Depaulis (2001 Jeux) (that is, Bell, Culin, and Murray) refer back to one or both of Hyde and Lane, and do not add anything independently.  I have not seen Tait, but this seems to be only tangentially related to Tâb. Luckily, judging from Culin and Murray, Lane seems to provide the lion's share of information on this game. A few of Hyde's observations can be derived from these 2 later sources. So the unavailability of Hyde appears to be no great loss.
The good news is that Brik- og brætspil (and subsequently Niels Ø) seems to have transmitted Lane's information quite accurately. The bad news is that most of Niels Ø's very perceptive questions cannot be answered by referring to our de facto sole authority. Phil wink (talk) 22:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, if you will read Boryspil article it's clear that city is separate entity and not part of Raion (dispute been it's center). If consider it part of Raion we also need to add ~50,000 people to it.

Then I guess we should add the pop. of the city to the raion population statistics. But if we decide to keep Boryspil as being "part" of the raion, why remove the picture?
