message: I'm going to remove the link to catherineschell.com for the following reasons:
* It's dead, and has been so for some time
* It's registered to an address in Nigeria, with apparently no relationship to the subject of the article. So there's no reason to suppose it's really an "official" website.
So it roundly fails the standards set in WP:EL.  I wouldn't be a bit surprised that, when it was added back in 2009, it was a valuable (and maybe official) website, but it's not any more. -- Finlay McWalter ☻ Talk 15:54, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Catherine Schell is underrated as a comedienne. Having read the complaint that Schell broke character by laughing in the Return of the Pink Panther, and remembering only how infectious her laughter was, I rewatched the classic telephone engineer scene. Twice the director has inserted a quick close up of her character laughing at the Inspector. Her amusement was part of the script.  Profhum (talk) 05:38, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Steyr Scout

message: The name of the article should be "Steyr Scout",  I have never heard the gun called "Mannlicher Scout", and all of the websites/books about guns I have seen call it Steyr Scout. WP:NAME says "use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things.", Steyr Scout is the common name for the gun, so it should be moved. --DanMP5  Semper Fi, Carry on 23:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While I'm not familiar with the official policies, the above strikes me as correct.  The only minor issue is that Mannlicher/Steyr wants to rename it, supposedly due to a belated realization that Steyr Scout abbreviates to SS, which of course has particularly unpleasant connotations to them.  But while I don't know about current production, prior has "Steyr Scout" labeled on the gun, scope caps, etc., so they have an uphill battle, which we are by no means required to join.

replies: text: Thank you.  Nit in your above comment: it's the first production Scout, I don't know if someone managed to make a custom version prior to it that "made weight", by far the most difficult thing to achieve, and is a lot of what has to make the Steyr Scout so expensive (custom hammer forged fluted short barrel, custom aluminium receiver, all that custom polymer furniture, all expensive in design, tooling, and low quantity production---I gather pretty much only the action design and the bolt are stock from their standard rifles).

Talk:Merchant bank

message: I know someone is working on cleaning up this article from Project Galatea - can I just add my tuppence worth that "Investment Bank" in today's lexicon is quite a different thing to a "Merchant Bank", and indeed I would say the latter is dying out as a concept. An Investment Bank will tend to be a full-service, full scale operation combining Advisory (initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets issuance); Asset Management, Principal Investment, Trust and agency services and Brokerage/Trading (fixed income, currency, commodities, equity, debt and derivatives sales and trading) functions. 
Examples are Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, etc. A Merchant Bank traditionally was more restricted to Advisory and Principal Investment, and was common in the city of London prior to the "big bang" in 1986, at which point Brokerage and Advisory functions were no longer required legally to be separated. Larger British retail banks and American investment banks arrived, and consolidated the existing merchant banking operations into their operations. Philip Augar has written a very good book "The Death of Gentlemanly Capitalism" which describes the process of the Big Bang in London.

No one (at least not the excavators) ever said that Hamoukar is "the oldest city"--check their news release. Archaeologically such a statement would be pointless--you never know what will turn up next. Incidentally, whether the Jericho should be considered a "city" is really subject to the definition of that term. In its earlierst phase it's a walled settlement of about 3 hectares with at least one tower (though the function of this tower is difficult to establish). Whether other elements of what we traditionally associate with cities were present--such as large administrative buildings, religious complexes, craft specialization, functionally distinct neighborhoods--is difficult to establish without further substantial excavations.

thread_title:  What culture/language 

message: I read a few years ago that some archaeologists were claiming that after the city of Hamoukar was destroyed by warfare its culture and architecture style changed dramatically to resemble that of the city of Uruk and that this cultural shift, plus the discovery of dozens of Uruk colonies across Southern Iraq and Western Iran, was being used as possible evidence, or even proof, by these experts, for the existence of a large Empire ruled over by the ancient city of Uruk. An Empire older than any other as yet discovered and one that flourished between 4000 and 3000 BC. Los Angeles Times article 2005 There's no mention of a 6,000 year old Uruk Empire in this Wikipedia article though. So, has the theory been completely debunked? Is the similarity in culture/architecture between post destruction Hamoukar and Uruk no more significant than that found across sites in the earlier Ubaid period, ie not proof of an Empire per se, just evidence of cultural exchange?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.167.248.194 (talk) 23:15, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Uruk Empire 

message: I believe Jericho is the oldest continously occupied settlememt but as to when it would be regarded a 'city' is debateable. Surely not pre domestication of grain and would need to be post agriculture? see Wikipedia defn of 'city'.
The dates in the entry for Hamoukar are odd though - how can it have been destroyed in 4500 BCE but only thought to be thriving since 4000 BCE. I believe that destruction date should be c. 3500 BCE.

message: I have copy-edited this article and removed the cleanup tag.  The major problem with this article remains the lack of references and in-line citations.  This tag will be added shortly.
A few notes about the edits are below.
* In the section on Traditions, I deleted some text that did not have citations.  I was not able to independently verify this material due to cross-cultural and linguistic considerations, but if any other editor would like to re-insert this material along with appropriate citations they would be most welcome to do so.
* I have no idea how to edit the following text, so I deleted it and placed it here for reference since it seems important.  It was the second paragraph in the sub-section titled Therottam (car) festival.
::In all the ten days of festival "Panchamurthis" go grand procession in all four mada streets called car street or trietheru with drums and other traditional musical instruments playing before them. "Panchamurthis" refer to Sri Vinayagar who always leads the procession followed by Sri Kapaleeshwarar the Lord, Sri Karpagaambal the Goddess, Lord Subramanyar with his consorts and finally Sri Chandikeswarar who represents all the devotees. The procession is followed by vedins who chant four vedas and othuvaars who sings Tamil thirumurais
* I have also deleted the following text from the last section, on the Arupathimoovar festival, because I have no idea how to edit this in English (owing to the large number of Tamil/Sanskrit words and religious concepts).  Any help from other editors would be much appreciated.
::The idol of Ganesha is first taken in procession during the festival, and is followed by Kolavizhi Amman. Kolavizhi Amman will lead the festival because this temple is supposed to be ancient than Kapaleashwar Temple. SingaraVelar Swamy will accompany Lord KapaleashwararSwamy and Karpagambal. 
::Mundakanni Amman will be beautifully decorated with lot of colours and ornaments. People used to keep their kids on the pallaq in order to get blessing from the Goddess.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Idunno271828 (talk • contribs) 04:25, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
