Talk:Shenandoah Valley Governor's School

message: Someone changed the name of the school to be "Shenandoah Valley Governor's School for Math, Science, and Technology" in the box on the right of the page.  Are there any references for this as the full name of the school?  I believe the VGSP site lists the name only as "Shenandoah Valley Governor's School" (which is the current title of this article).  If no references can be dug up, I may revert this latest change. Jkatzen 06:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I did a little digging, and based on the actual school's web site (http://www.csvrgs.k12.va.us/info_overview.htm), there are actually two parallel programs available, one of which is math/science/technology and the other arts/humanities.  I can't find any support for the name as suggested by the last editor. Jkatzen 06:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Reverting was definitely a good move.  The Arts and Humanities program is new as of the Summer of 2002.  I don't know much about the program, but there has been some friendly rivalry between the two programs.  This is likely an example. anonymous 04:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:1989 in British music

message: Whats the thinking of making separate "year in music" pages for each country? Doesn't "1989 in music" cover everything? If not, isn't easier to just add to that article? Audiori 02:31, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Why is there no mention of the Manchester scene with likes of The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays in particular having big chart hits with the likes of 'Fools Gold' and 'Hallelujah (Madchester Rave On EP)' they even took over Top of the Pops at the tail end of the year too.
This 'Madchester' sound was quite piviotal in '89 and eventually give rise to things like 'Baggy' and the Indie/Dance scene's that became increasingly popular in the early '90's.
Even from a more dancier side of things Manchester was leading the way with A Guy Called Gerald's, 'Voodoo Ray' which was a #11 hit that year, 808 State who had a Top 10 with Pacific 707 and a successful debut album for ZTT 'Ninety' and Factory Records stalwarts New Order having a #1 selling album with 'Technique' off the back of successful chart singles 'Fine Time' and 'Round & Round'.
As much as they aren't thought as much these are '80's hits just as much as what is considered classic in that decade and 'Madchester' was a very noticeable change in the British music scene that began to hit big in '89 in my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.79.209.49 (talk • contribs) 08:16, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Toadstool

message: Is the word toadstool used in any folk tales? -Krazie 101 02:34, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Another explanation comes from the German translation of tod-stuhl, literally, "death-chair," referring to the shape of the fruiting body and also to the slow, agonizing death from mushroom poisoning for those who eat it.
Actually, no. I'd call this exo-folk etymology... One thing about this is that I (being a native speaker of German) feel this very word would have been constructed differently, possibly Todesstuhl. Todstuhl sounds to me like wash machine (instead of washing machine) sounds to an English speaker. But the more important argument is that there never was a word Todstuhl in German. So it's just some English speaker's fantasy and for the first, I'm removing it. Feel free to insert it again if you can back it up by sources. Cheers, Edwing 09:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lunapark (album)

message: I've moved this article about a barely-notable pop album from the title Lunapark as it is nowhere near the primary topic for that title.
A google search for "lunapark" shows the vast majority of results refer to a type of amusement park common in Europe and elsewhere, while (as far as I can see) none of the alternate meanings in the first dozen pages of the search refer to this album (except for this WP page, which isn't a good sign).
So I've moved this to Lunapark (album), where it should be OK until someone writes articles on the other two albums that are also called Lunapark, when it will probably need further disambiguation. Moonraker12 (talk) 18:36, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

This article is mostly correct (but repeats itself a little i.e. Joseph Rose is mentioned twice but only linked once)
Capability Brown is credited in this article for designing the garden (and he was one of the landscapers who had some input into the garden) but the house & garden was built ~1751 with the gardens designed by Parsons. Brown did not have any input until 1777; even then the final design (as with much of the house) was by Christopher Sykes himself.
