Talk:Moehau

message: "It is believed that a small breeding population of the Gorilla's descendants may still roam The Moehau Ranges."
I added a "verification needed" bit because as a New Zealander I should make clear to anyone from overseas that the only people who believe this are nutters.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.135.231.49 (talk) 03:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: 1) The gorilla, if it ever existed, that escaped from a ship in the 1920s, must have been a pregnant female!!! Otherwise its descendants could not be. No ship name given, please note! And what is Wai Aro?
2) I removed Orbell from the list of references. There is nothing about the Moehau creature in Orbell.  And I doubt that there is anything in Alpers either.  Looks very like the person who added the original reference list to this article just grabbed a few references out of the air, thinking that no one would bother looking them up.
3) I find it objectionable when people claim Maori legends as source but don't say where, who, when. And anything from the South Island is irrelevant here, especially when not tied to any source.  Kahuroa (talk) 01:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Wine law

message: Obviously this article will need more expansion, especially in regards to a worldwide focus. I fleshed out the US section (because that was one that I readily had a good source for), so yes...at the moment, it is US centric but that will certainly change. Please save the effort and not bother to tag the article. We already know. :) However, any help in crafting those sections on other wine regions will certainly be appreciated-especially if they are accompanied by reliable sources. As for myself, I would want to do more research before I feel competent enough to work on those section. I know Tomas has plans for a EU wine law article which will help flesh out that area and once we get the Aussie GI article done, there will be sources that. AgneCheese/Wine 02:20, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, the common EU wine regulations are big enough to merit an article of their own, and I created this article to have "a place of entry" to that future article. Unfortunately, the material that would go into such an article is bone dry and seems not to be available elsewhere in a very pedagogical form, so we'll see when I get around to writing it. I haven't felt that it would be worthwile to add much specifics of individual European countries' wine laws before that article is written. Tomas e (talk) 07:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Winsham

message: I would suggest that Ammerham (which has until recently wrongly been described as being in Dorset) should be merged into this article (as it is in the parish of Winsham) as it is unlikely to be notable enough (shown by lack of reliable sources) to have its own article.— Rod talk 22:12, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. (although maybe it's notable in being able to hop over county boundaries hahaha....) PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 22:22, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There are lots of hamlets, villages and even parishes which have moved from one county to another over the years - a whole chunk of the Somerset/Wiltshire border villages have been down this path, so Ammerham may have done that in the past (or it could just be an error by whoever created the article).— Rod talk 22:31, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

text: I think it was most probably an error. Actually, although I joked about crossing boundaries, that is in my view sometimes worthy of comment, and maybe (if it is true) makes a settlement sufficiently notable to have its own article. Sometimes settlements don't even have to have been near a border. For example, Holwell in Dorset was once part of Somerset. To quote the late Dorset broadcaster Ralph Wightman, "This 'Somerset detached' arrangement was once fairly common. Apparently if a great nobleman had one manor, remote from his main estate in another county, he might elect to pay his taxes at his principal seat. In this case the distant manor became part of his chosen county." (Portait of Dorset, p140) In the case of the Dorset village of Ryme Intrinseca, the name of the village itself is thought to reference this sort of practice, as 'intrinsica' means 'inside', in opposition to 'Ryme Extrinseca' which would confer the same 'detached' status as Holwell once had.... PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 22:59, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: One village I know in Hampshire called Bramshaw at one time apparently had the county boundary passing right through the church - the vicar would conduct his services in Hampshire, and the parishioners would sit in Wiltshire! Anyhoo, I agree with the proposal to merge Ammerham into Winsham. The only thing I can find notable about Ammerham is that it once had a watermill there, but I can't find any information on it. Pasicles (talk) 20:48, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:The Twentieth Century Society

message: The Victorian Society covers a different period so the detachment afforded by a link in the See Also section seems to me to be entirely appropriate. The only reason for such a link in the article is to help a reader interested in more than that covered by the 20CS. In any case the sentance added doesn't make sense and given the above, I've no interest in making it so. The Lloyds link is a high profile example of the societies work. -- John (Daytona2 ·  Talk ·  Contribs) 12:37, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Wally Weber

message: The Michigan high school track record book  lists a Wally Weber from Mt. Clemens as having thrown the javelin 171-10 in 1930.  That is still the fourth longest in Michigan high school history.  But by 1930, Weber was coaching high school football in Benton Harbor.  Either the date is wrong for the javelin throw, or there was another athlete named Wally Weber with the same hometown of Mt. Clemens just five years after Weber graduated.

Talk:Max Ehrlich

message: Not every page that links to the main article is the right one.   This is because Max Ehrlich is a fairly common name.
At least one Max Ehrlich was a mystery writer, and another a science fiction writer.   These might be the same, or they might not.
If we can find the middle names associated with all of these Max Ehrlichs, we can keep straight who is who.   And that would certainly make Wikipedia a better online encyclopedia.
There should be a disambiguation page so the right link goes to the right Max Ehrlich.   Dexter Nextnumber (talk) 22:51, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
