Talk:Frontenac County

message: The Kingston article lists a population of 159,561 from the 2011 census for the Kingston Census Metropolitan Area.  As this number is greater than the total population for Frontenac County listed here as 149,738, there should be more detail as to how the population of Kingston has been subtracted from that of Frontenac County.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.177.43.72 (talk) 19:25, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Population numbers have been fixed. Lead and portion of History section revised. Demographics section significantly updated accordingly. I'm not going to weigh in on the debate about what a "deed" says as the deed template may have never been updated to reflect the amalgamation of the three counties. I also am reluctant to agree in full that it is incorrect to refer to this area as a "county". The municipality's own website currently states at the top of its landing page "Note that the County Administration Office will be closed..." and its contact page states "Please use the following directory to connect to SDG County staff...". It is reasonable to assume from this that the municipality views itself as one county that comprises three united (or former) counties. Thus, I would suggest not fretting about this.

Talk:Santa Anna (Comanche)

message: This paragraph, under the section "After the Great Raid", particularly the bolded portions, is completely from an individual's POV, and biased against Santa Anna. Furthermore, the ONE link provided as a source leads to a broken link.
Santa Anna became a proponent of accommodation and peace with the whites following his involvement with treaty talks with the Army, and a later visit to Washington, D.C. in 1847. Before 1845 he was firmly identified with the militant faction of his tribe that opposed accommodation with whites. In point of fact, there is absolutely no record of his ever meeting with officials representing the government of the Republic of Texas. He appeared during this time to be even more militant than Buffalo Hump, who had met with Sam Houston in 1843–44. But in the later part of 1845, he was finally convinced to attend treaty negotiations conducted by United States officials, where he was first exposed to the true numbers and weaponry of the whites. Santa Anna, more than any other Native American of the Plains during this time, was influenced by what he had seen. Convinced that his people could simply not defeat or long resist the numbers and weapons of the whites, he began advocating peace. In May 1846 he was one of those Comanche Chiefs who signed a treaty promising peace between his people and American citizens in Texas.
In point of fact... Yeah? You sure it was a fact? Are you sure it wasn't NOTHING? And it paints Santa Anna as being this militant, which he may have been, UNTIL, of course, he realized that the white people were too tough for him, then backed down and handed over Texas without a fight. Wow. This whole section is pretty ridiculous. Sounds like some anecdotal tale from some white nativist Texan, talking to some "pesky liberal" who "don't know nothin' about Texas!"

Talk:Red Curtain Trilogy

message: I'd like to see some source citations on this article. There doesn't appear to be anything at all that could verify any of this information. I don't know much on the subject of the Red Curtain Trilogy, but I'll try and get some reliable sources for this. Also, I don't think that phrases like "The costumes, music, sets and script are all rich, sumptuous and intricate" are appropriate for a wiki article. Zeke (talk) 15:04, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; to that end I've added a few citations, at least to source the use of the term to refer to Baz Luhrmann's early style if nothing else.  I haven't touched the "Characteristics and Hallmarks" section, though, which seems much more difficult to cite appropriately.  The only information I could find is a Baz Luhrmann quote on his IMDB page which discusses this style a little bit, but that hardly seems like an appropriate source to include in the reference list.  I suspect that much of the information on this page is drawn from the extra features on the "Red Curtain Trilogy" DVD that I cited in the article, but not having this DVD myself I can't follow up on this.  I would suggest that someone who has the DVD should go through and replace the "Characteristics and Hallmarks" section with a better summary of what Baz Luhrmann describes as being the "Red Curtain" style, and then cite the interview/commentary/DVD appropriately.

thread_title: first nation and metis

message: The article claims the district has a seat and that it is the City of Kenora, and claims the district's website is the site of the Kenora District Services Board. I presume this is partly due to the Kenora District Services Board having its boardroom in the City of Kenora. In my opinion, there is no district seat and no website of the District of Kenora.
On Wikipedia, I see that the ten districts of Algoma, Cochrane, Kenora, Manitoulin, Nipissing, Parry Sound, Rainy River, Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Timiskaming - which are presumably territorial districts - have been confused with the ten districts each defined in a schedule of O. Reg. 278/98.
O. Reg. 278/98 defines one district for each of the ten district social services administration boards. Within the District of Algoma, there are two of such districts defined: the district for the Algoma District Services Administration Board and the district for the District of Sault Ste. Marie Social Services Administration Board. Similarly, in my opinion, there is no district seat and no website of the (Territorial) District of Algoma.

Talk:Neapolitan horse

message: :I'm OK with Dana's concept of "Some sources state that the Neapolitan horse went extinct in whatever year [cite one, two and three]. However, other sources describe a breed called the Neapolitano that exists in Italy today [cite four, five and six]. These sources do not state if the modern Neapolitano is the same breed as the 18th (or whatever) century one or if it is a recreated breed.[cite four, five and six again]."   We may want to refine it a bit gramatically, but she's got the right approach -- I think it's OR to say it's one breed, JLAN says it's OR to say it's two, and given that we can't find an answer at present, Dana's wording describes the issue.

message: This article mentions buttes prevalent on the Hawaiian Islands, especially around Honolulu.  I have not studied geology at all, but I live around Honolulu and do not see anything that I would call a butte.  Besides the mountains, most formations seem to be extinct craters like Koko Head, Diamond Head and Punchbowl Crater.  If buttes are prevalent anywhere on the islands, I can only suggest the Waimea Canyon State Park may be what the original author was thinking of.  Am I off base?  If not, I would suggest either changing the remark for Honolulu or removing the Hawaiian Islands reference all together.

thread_title: Buttes in Hawaii?

message: According to the article, a butte is similar in shape to a mesa.  This does not at all describe most "buttes" in Central Oregon, which are cinder cones and consequently have gentle slopes and rounded tops.  Examples: Black Butte (Oregon), Lava Butte, Pilot Butte, Gray Butte, Bessie Butte, Round Butte, Bachelor Butte, Awbrey Butte, Vista Butte.  I have thus noted that "butte" can also be used in some regions as a synonym for "hill".
I also added a picture of Black Butte, because the shape of Black Butte is markedly different from the butte in Arizona already in the article.  I don't intend to trigger an explosion of butte pictures added to this article. Karl Dickman talk 19:55, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
