Talk:Aubrey de Sélincourt

message: Isn't Aubrey de Sélincourt the correct spelling? That's how it's spelt on my copy of his translation of The Histories of Herodotus - what spelling is normally used?
Google is absolutely useless for this as it regards Sélincourt and Selincourt as the same spelling, and in any case diacritics are often left off on the internet. Timrollpickering 14:12, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Numbering of the people

message: "The census, so far as completed, showed that there were at least 1,300,000 fighting men in the kingdom, indicating at that time a population of about six or seven millions in all."
Taking the numbers as a literal reading, ancient Israel during the time of David was as large as modern Israel is today in 2006. Archaeologically there is zero support for this. Indeed, most scholars would believe the numbers of 1,300,000 men should be understood as an exaggeration of one hundred-fold (a common practice for ancient military stats). This would reduce the fighting force to 13,000 trained men, with a total of around 150,000 people in the kingdom of Israel/Judah--excluding Coastal Canaan/Philistia, Phonecia, Edom, Moab, and Ammon, which if included would put this figure was over a quarter million for all of Palestine. This latter figure fits nicely into the bounds of proven archaeology.--71.222.48.14 01:39, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: 'Tag as Advert'?? I would have thought that the person who put that tag on the page would have actually written a justification or better yet editted the 'tone' to suit himself. 
The Web3D Consortium is, as far as I know, a non-profit organization very much like the W3C and has no marketed or marketable product. Its 'products' are public domain web and media standards that are vetted by ISO, the International Standards Organization, and the article says so. PBarak 01:41, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The Institution in Singapore founded by Morrison did not collapse, as is described in this article. Morrison co-founded Singapore Institution (the present Raffles Institution) with Sir Raffles, and the Institution is extant at present date.
Furthermore, to state that "new governor manifested less interest" regarding the establishment of the Institution is untrue, given that the co-founder is Sir Raffles who is described as the founder of Modern Singapore and a prominent administrator of the East India Company.

thread_title:  Works 

message: The entire article reads to me as from an unduly romantic, pro-Western perspective, in tone and often in text. It's about a Western Protestant missionary of course, but I think there's a lot of work to be done to balance it. For example, I just removed a passage that, while sounding a bit archaic and unconcerned with goings-on in China (outside the context of trying to Christianize it) throughout, I had to remove an instance of the 'chinaman' slur. I know it's a singular example, but I hope the issue I'm raising is well-represented and understood. Remsense (talk) 17:18, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Al Fecund (talk) 03:08, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Searchers: First use of a featurette? 

message: I changed the length. Short subjects that were comprised of two film reels were usually referred to as "two-reelers", such as is the case with many "two reel comedies" by Laurel and Hardy, Our Gang, and The Three Stooges, or with serials such as Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers.
As indicated above, a "feature film" by the standards of the American Film Institute, the British Film Institute, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is defined as a film lasting at least 40 minutes--in other words, it is roughly comprised of four or more film reels. 
A film reel lasts 12 minutes or less, thus, a featurette would last somewhere from 24 minutes (greater than two film reels) to 40 minutes (less than a feature film), so I have changed the length on this wiki page to reflect that. Mayor of awesometown (talk) 02:06, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Silver Lake State Park (New Hampshire)

message: I think the last statement in the article is non-factual because the residents who live along the lake have sealed septic systems.  The only time the lake was closed was during a blue-greeen alge outbreak in the early 90s.  Additionally, the article fails to mention that the state (des) actively tests the water's quality and moreover that as of 2006 the lake completely passes state standards for acceptable bacteria and alge levels.  This article also doesn't cite any sources! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.189.94.128 (talk • contribs).
:Agree with the above. I'm the assistant park manager of Silver Lake State Park, and in the 4 years I've worked there we've only had to close the beach on one occasion. In fact, the park manager has worked at the park for roughly 15 years, and the above bacteria closure was the only one while he's worked there as well. Furthermore, an immediate re-test showed safe bacteria levels. The majority of our test results come back not only safe, but well below unsafe bacteria levels. A big problem we have is that there are 4 Silver Lakes in the state, and often upon reading that a Silver Lake has tested high for bacteria people assume that it was the Hollis Silver Lake without bothering to check. Perhaps I'll correct the article as well as expand it with some history, provided I can find citable sources, of course.--TerminalSaint 06:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
