Talk:Mount Auburn Cemetery

message: The article claimed that "Mount Auburn is also credited with the first use of the word cemetery in English."  But OED has 2 pre-1800 quotes for the word. --Macrakis 05:43, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Because of the number of visitors, the cemetery's developers carefully regulated the grounds: they had a policy to remove "offensive and improper" monuments and only "proprietors" (i.e. plot owners) could have vehicles on the grounds and were allowed within the gates on Sundays and holidays. What does this mean? Wouldn't the cemetery have ruling say in the first place as to what kind of tombstone/monument could be placed there? Wouldn't they give the red light to a tombstone they didn't like before it was ever installed? --Ragemanchoo (talk) 06:26, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Odd wording

message: Is there a source for this phrase? The quotations imply that there is, but the phrasing devoid of context has a weirdly commercial ring to it, to my ears. I'd like to reword this but don't want to lose a potentially significant quote. Anyone? Kafka Liz (talk) 02:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  "America's first garden cemetery" 

message: Hello. Are there any editors in the area of the Mount Auburn Cemetery who would like to help me get a picture of a gravesite for Timothy Henry Hoolulu Pitman. There is also apparently a family memorial possibly in the center of the Pitman plot. There is one of the family marker on the Wiki commons but it is from a different angle and I need a better picture of this with the inscription of Henry's side visible. The images I've linked are non-free so I can't use them and need someone in the area to upload a non-free image to Wikimedia Commons. I've also read that his brother Benjamin Franklin Pitman (1845–1918) is buried around there in a family vault but I have seen no image of this and the marker I linked actually doesn't include him? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:22, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Crucian carp

message: I wanted to add a new section but it wouldn't let me edit, so could someone who can please copy and paste this in (Could you please tell me when you do so on my page and also how does one become able to edit such pages? Cheers):
Section heading: Anoxia
During winter Crassius crassius is able to live in entirely anoxic conditions by doing anaerobic respiration, producing ethanol. During summer the fish is able to do this to a limited extent, but the winter phenotype can sustain this for several weeks. Experimentally the fish has lived anoxically for 140 days. Longer periods of anoxia can be tolerated in cooler water, as colder conditions lower the metabolic rate. Alcohol production is mainly done in the muscle tissues, but also occurs in the liver, where the process is thought to have originated. Goldfish are also able to produce alcohol in muscle tissues, but to a much more limited extent.

As stated over on the requested moves page, I think this should be moved to a page of its own and Presidential Commission made a disambiguation page in order to allow for an article on U.S. Presidential Commissions, or maybe a category, akin to Category:U.S. Senate committees, to list such things as President's Commission on the HIV Epidemic and U.S. President's Commission on CIA activities within the United States. - Orborde 06:06, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

message: This actually seems to be intended as a professional league for sport wrestling.

thread_title: Category Problem

message: I'd like to see a source for the claim that RPW is influenced by sumo and catch, as neither would seem to be a good fit. RPW seems to be intended as a professional league for sport wrestling, while sumo and catch wrestling have very different goals. Sumo does not have a concept of "pin"—the object is to push one's opponent out of the ring, or to cause them to fall so that they touch the mat with any body part above the foot—while catch wrestling focuses on submission holds, which aren't allowed in classical sport wrestling (Greco-Roman, freestyle, or folkstyle).  — Gwalla | Talk 22:09, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sumo and catch? 

message: :Currently, Greco-Roman and Freestyle are the most common wrestling backgrounds in the leagues, due to the fact that it is U.S. sport, and these styles are the only two that are in the Olympics.
This doesn't compute. It doesn't make sense that Greco-Roman and Freestyle would be the most common because it's a U.S. league: those styles are popular internationally but not so much in America. high school and collegiate wrestling competitions in the U.S. are folkstyle; this has been blamed for America's generally unimpressive performance in international competition.  — Gwalla | Talk 04:17, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: There are only 456976 possible four letter acronyms. The number of different meanings is several magnitudes higher.
While "Los Angeles Police Department" is one (and may be the best known one -- at least in the USA) it is one of several meanings of LAPD. The police does not own that acronym. Therefore a disambiguation is needed. (Here may be some alternatives, though IMHO not as appropriate.)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/LevelCheck

message: I personally support Socratic actions when they exist to prove a point that is worth proving. For example GRider's nominations of marginal cases to VfD to point out the lack of consensus on many issues and general obsessivness of the deletionists. 
However, it seems to me that from most of the presented evidence Levelcheck's behavior has been a socratic attempt to prove that it is possible to waste large amounts of time by creating controversial categories/VfD's/VfD fodder.
I would ask that he be admonished, how ever I think that blocking or bans would be excessive and unwarrented since Levelcheck has never destroyed information. To me, information desctruction is the worst sort of wikicrime and thus the only one that should merit some of the very harsh sentances that have been handed out recently for far lesser offenses.

"Breastfed originally released “Musclecars” in June 2003. Both X-Press 2 and Anu from Freeform Five loved the record so much they both called up asking to remix it for free. Anu’s version takes the original’s slo-mo acid house ethic and wraps it up in rock guitars and p-funk squeals. The man behind the recent electro-pop smash “Eeeeaaooww” even goes as far as adding his own sleazy vocal line, transforming the original from a Rob Mello staple into a Freelance Hellraiser classic"

replies: text: It presumably dates from the early days of Wikipedia when it was considered "correct" to slap textbook-style macrons on everything. If a move proposal were made to move to Otaru, Hokkaido, it would make sense to move all Hokkaido placename articles to XYZ, Hokkaido en masse to maintain consistency, but then that would raise the issue of how we deal with places such as Yūbari, Hokkaidō, where the town/city name also uses macrons. Is it acceptable to have Yūbari, Hokkaido, or do we go all the way and move it to Yubari, Hokkaido? The mess that that would create is probably why no one has wanted to take the plunge and propose page moves. --DAJF (talk) 14:35, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm not convinced how reliable they are, but my sources are:

Student Direct reported:
::"It has been confirmed that the notorious Tenement Tower will not demolished [sic] for the time being, as it is being saved in favour of a mass refurbishment programme. Plans to destroy the tower have been continually mooted over the last five years, however plans were laid to rest for the final time after a student focus group, working alongside University accommodation officials, decided that the tower was irreplacable as a hub of student social activity."

thread_title:  Beginning of the BOP 

message: "The BOP is known on a larger scale for being the venue of the Chemical Brothers' first gig."
Is this really the case? I can find no evidence of it. To be the first gig of the Chemical Brothers (rather than The Dust Brothers), it would have to be 1995 onwards.
I wonder if there is a grain of truth in the assertion though? I was the Social Secretary of OPSA for two years in the early 90s and therefore one of the 2 people responsible for the running of events. Ed Simons tried out as a DJ for me at the BOP, I think for 2 weeks. (Often DJs would approach me and ask for spots).
Fast-forward to 1995 and I was working for Concert Systems, a PA company and was on tour with The Prodigy. At Brixton Academy, the last date before Christmas, The Chemical Brothers were supporting. Ed saw me and said he recognised me. I said it was maybe because I had been at Piccadilly Records in Manchester setting up the PA for their appearance there for the launch of Exit Planet Dust. Remembering, he said 'No - you sacked me!' recalling his short stint DJing at the BOP. I suggested that perhaps if I hadn't, he wouldn't be where he was today, to which he didn't answer!
Incidentally, it was never known as 'Big Old Party' for the 3 years when I was at OP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonathanDClark (talk • contribs) 12:12, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
