Talk:Sakae Tamura (nature photographer)

message: 日本の写真家 (Biographic Dictionary of Japanese Photography) says 1911–1987. Tokyo municipal library OPAC says “1903-”. NDL OPAC says “1910-”, and Neichā wārudo agrees.
None of the three books by Tamura between 1951 and 1965 has any biographical information. Kamakura Kaidō, published in 1990, refers to Tamura as alive; I cannot believe that the publisher of this carefully produced book got this fact wrong.
It would be very remiss of Neichā wārudo, published for an exhibition starting in April 1997 and therefore presumably edited in late 1996 or so, to describe Tamura as alive if he were not.
Tamura may have been born in 1910 or 1911, but I very much doubt that he was born in 1903. Why would his father be introducing him to photography when he (the son) was well into his twenties?
Call it "OR" if you like, but I infer that Tamura was alive into the nineties. I'd tend to write "1910/11–?" until better information comes along.
Incidentally, the library catalogue of Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography does not provide years of birth or death; and although its catalogue of prints says that dozens by Tamura are held and offers "Infomation" (sic) about Tamura, there turns out to be no information on him whatever (ditto for the other chap). -- Hoary 07:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm increasingly inclined to write "(b. 1910)". Too OR-ish? -- Hoary 13:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Library of Congress Authorities gives "1910-". George Eastman House gives (the rather unhelpful) "active 1930s", but this is just as likely in reference to the other Tamura. Nothing at ULAN. Tomorrow, books. Pinkville 02:30, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I've looked again in the Kamakura-kaidō book. It says 1910 too -- so 1910 it is. -- Hoary 13:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I think 1903 is the year Sakae Tamura (photographer) was born. His 著者名典拠ID/ID number is 00081108. While Sakae Tamura (nature photographer)'s ID is 00195220.  And according to this, Sakae Tamura (nature photographer) died in 2003. Oda Mari (talk) 15:17, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

message: FishBase, used as a reference in this article, does not use initials in author citations for any of the species in this genus (Scientific Names where Genus Equals Silurus); neither does Catalog of Fishes, which FishBase itself very often uses as a reference regarding taxonomy & nomenclature (Species in the genus Silurus).
The WP article on author citation states that:
:"If the same surname is common to more than one author, initials are sometimes given" but "not all animal groups / databases use this convention" and " it should be noted that in the examples given in the Code and also the ICZN Official Lists and Indexes, initials are not used".

Talk:Tolstoyan movement

message: Hello Theroadislong.. 
I would like to draw your attention to some new (third party sourced) facts which I believe are relevant and should be included on SOCO International's page, to further describe the nature of the company's operations in Vietnam and elsewhere....
Assuming you agree, under 'Operations' -> 'Vietnam' you could add these two factual sentences:
--- "In July 2015, SOCO signed a Memorandum of Understanding with PetroVietnam and SOVICO Holdings for potential exploration and production on Blocks 125-126 (offshore central Vietnam in the Phu Khanh Basin)."
--- "SOCO’s long-term partners since the formal signing of the contracts in 1999 have been PetroVietnam, the national oil company of Vietnam, and PTTEP, the national oil company of Thailand."
Source: Vietnam Government Ministry of Trade website: http://www.moit.gov.vn/en/News/939/minister-tran-tuan-anh-received-a-courtesy-call-from-mr--edward-t--story.aspx 
Under 'History' you could add:
"The Company had a year end balance in 2016 of US$104million, after payment of dividends to shareholders, with no debt reported. Capital expenditure for the year was US$82million."

Talk:Allenvale, Victoria

message: The incoming link to this article agrees with the text about where it is. However Geoscience Australia only has one Allenvale in Victoria, and it's near Lorne.  Google Maps has an Allenvale Road in the Lorne area, but nothing relevant near Bairnsdale. Some other reference is required. --Scott Davis Talk 14:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Location

message: This is not "Allenvale, Victoria". Allenvale is actually a tiny hamlet and farm/orchard, including the site of a former sawmill, its associated workers cabins, as well as farming/accommodation/hospitality properties & a camping ground. It is located in Victoria's Surf Coast Shire about 1.6km inland from Lorne on the St. Georges River near its intersection with the Allenvale Road (naturally enough). It is the site of a century-old apple orchard and was the site of Lorne's first golf club. It is well known to the hundreds of thousands of locals and travellers who have visited the hamlet over the decades, worked there, or bought product from the farm & former sawmill (like me & my family).
The (dubious) citation here clearly states (with no evidence) that the alleged Gippsland township's name is "Allanvale" (please note this contradicts the spelling of this article's title). This also contradicts the uncited claim in the text that the alleged township was named after the first postmaster, Mr. Allen (note this spelling contradicts the citation). In addition, the citation claims the town's name was changed to Boggy Creek, the exact opposite of what the uncited text claims.
In short, this article is a dubious mess based on the flimsiest of citations. I suggest that this should be re-investigated & rewritten to create possibly 2 articles (if the details of the Gippsland town can be verified). Presumably, given the current citation's spelling, this would lead to 2 articles named "Allanvale" (for the Gippsland town?) & "Allenvale" (for the hamlet inland from Lorne.).  - Cheers! 59.102.86.112 (talk) 05:09, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Isabel Sanford, the actress who played her, was born in 1917, 21 years before Sherman Hemsley, who played her husband George, but I think the characters were meant to be closer in age.  George had to have been born in either 1929 or 1930 (the episode in which he celebrated his fiftieth birthday aired in 1980), and I seem to recall an episode in which Louise was said to be slightly younger than her husband.  A fourteen year age difference (where the bride is as much older than the groom) would have likely been a more remarkable element in the storyline, but the age difference of the characters was never an issue in the storyline of the series.

message: I think that after:
"The only background on the Jefferson family is that they were Alabama sharecroppers." a statement should be added that says something like, "George's mother, repeatedly said it wasn't true." And "the family had different roots."
This is based on my memory of watching the show almost 30 years ago.
I haven't made a significant update to Wikipedia in many years. I don't know the current rules for "source material". I will read those rules before I make any "updates". I'm also going to try and watch some (20+) episodes so I can get the quotes rights and also cite where the information comes from in those episodes.
This will be a minor upstate to the page but maybe a major change to the "tone" of this and other pages dealing with the subject.
