Talk:Sarah Caudwell

message: Was the phrase "thinly drawn" meant to be derogatory?  If so, shouldn't it be balanced by the occasional "hilarious" and "brilliantly plotted" so as to maintain Wikipedia neutrality? Briankharvey 07:05, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think so.  I've seen the phrase used purely descriptively before, and I do think it gives a good idea of the style. Franzeska 02:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Thinly drawn?

message: This article says that The Shortest Way to Hades was published in 1985, but my copy of the book is copyright 1970, although it obviously was printed much later because the dust jacket refers to Caudwell's death in 2000. Does anyone know why this article gives a date so much later than the publisher gives? It would be very hard for me to believe that the publisher got it wrong.--Jim10701 (talk) 19:19, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. I'm now convinced that the publisher of the edition I have did get the date wrong. No other edition has a date earlier than 1984, and even this publisher (Tess Press, a very obscure publisher without a web site) no longer acknowledge that they ever published this book, which hints at a serious screw-up of some kind.--Jim10701 (talk) 02:26, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Thanks, Silver and Qwyrxian for helping with this article. I have two more, minor requests—adding the logo, and a note about the naming of an interim CEO, Jay Leveton:
*I've uploaded the logo here, with a fair use claim for its inclusion on this article specifically. At 195x245 px it should be of a suitable size for the infobox, but feel free to resize as you see fit.
*I also suggest adding a new final sentence to the last paragraph of 1990s and 2000s:

Talk:List of parochial and private schools in the Washington metropolitan area

message: Wait? I'm confused. You just told me that the information on the page "Outline of Washington Area Catholic High Schools" was a duplication of this "List of parochial and private schools in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area" page. So all I did was add a template and changed the name to be representative of what was already written. Now you're saying it must be deleted.

Talk:Rock Creek (Potomac River tributary)

thread_title: Tributary list

message: I added a paragraph on water quality & stream restoration projects in Montgomery Co.  A similar discussion could be added on the D.C. portion of the creek.  Currently DDOE has a few Rock Creek-related documents on its website which are rather technical (TMDLs, etc.), so they may not be the most helpful references for a Wikipedia entry.  Maybe someone more knowledgable than I would like to summarize the state of water quality in the D.C. portion.  Hopefully DDOE will eventually provide a webpage and/or some "plain English" documents about Rock Creek. Moreau1 06:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of Roman Catholic dioceses in the Caribbean

message: The list is not complete. It includes only those dioceses in the Antilles Episcopal Conference, but not those in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, etc. It won't be that hard to finish the list, I'll just go over to Catholic-Hierarchy.net and look them up. However, we currently include the Belize City diocese. Do we want to include other Central American dioceses? We also include the French, Dutch, and Anglo northern South American dioceses. Do we want to include the Venezuelan dioceses as well? Gentgeen 07:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of tributaries of the Potomac River

message: Walking along the Virginia bank of the Potomac I crossed over the mouth of a gushing waterfall emptying into the river that shows up in Google Maps. The latitude and longitude Google Maps shows for this feature match those recorded with the photos I took at that spot. It's between Turkey Run and Pimmit Run. Is it not a legitimate tributary?

Talk:Swampoodle (Washington, D.C.)

message: I have restarted the article, as the original article was bloated with redundancy and factual inaccuracies. I would like to proceed with a new article that accurately captures the following:
1. Borders. "A geographic approximation of its borders would be K Street to the north, G Street to the south, 1st Street NW to the west, and 2nd Street NE to the east." is a reasonable representation. Will try and provide references to confirm.
2. Inhabitants. Irish, yes. Until the 1900s when the construction of Union Station brought in other immigrants (for example, Italian stone workers). When did the Irish arrive? Why did they settle in that particular location?
3. Culture. It seems the greatest irony about Swampoodle is that the rowdy Irish were being patrolled by an Irish police force.
4. Annotated history. Not just "the Irish showed up when the potatoes went bad".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.151.50 (talk) 02:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Map Image Mistake?

message: I'm trying to remember it's name. It was either on Pennsylvania Avenue or just off of it. You could almost see the capital building in the distance from there, if you rounded the corner. I wonder if it was a remnant of Swampoodle, or if it came in later. 
There are two Irish Bars n the area you describe.  They are "The Dubliner" and "The Irish Times".  Both would have come much after Swampoodle ceased to be.  Cliffswallow-vaulting (talk) 03:09, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk:NoMa

message: I completely re-wrote the article for these reasons:
1. The last version was cut/paste verbatim from the NoMa Business Improvement District website. Their site is riddled with factual inaccuracies (a good example is refering to the original area as "industrial" when dozens of residences were razed to facilitate development).
2. The last version asserts NoMa is a neighborhood. NoMa is a brand name in the same sense as the Atlas District, which is a commercial designation.
3. The last version has subjects (neighborhoods, buildings, infrastructure, history) that are very well documented across Wikipedia.
The new version focuses on:
1. What the word NoMa is (a portmanteau)
2. Where NoMa is located (North of Massachusetts Avenue)
3. The neighborhoods comprising NoMa
4. How NoMa came to be
5. The landmarks and buildings features of NoMa
If the NoMa BID wants to add content, it should be in a separate section. If the content is detracts from the original point of the article (presenting NoMa), an article specific to the BID should be created.

In the interim I will also work to have the "neighborhood" removed from the map as well as the overall District of Columbia listing. Fact of the matter is nobody but developers and the media have described NoMA as a neighborhood.
