thread_title:  Ngunnawal word for Murray cod 

message: Reference the ACT Hansard discussion at http://www.hansard.act.gov.au/hansard/2005/week06/2028.htm :
Jon Stanhope in response to a question from Mrs Burke advised:
Ngambri is the name of one of a number of family groups that make up the Ngunnawal nation. Evidence of the existence of this clan is found in the extensive historical records held by various institutions such as the NSW State Archives. A detailed summary of the historical evidence relating to the clan can be found in Ann Jackson-Nakano, The Kamberri: a history from the records of Aboriginal families in the Canberra-Queanbeyan district and surrounds 1820-1927 and historical overview 1928 -2001 Aboriginal History Monograph 8, ANU Press, 2001.
Stanhope went on to say "The Government recognises members of the Ngunnawal nation as descendants of the original inhabitants of this region. There is no specific recognition of the Ngambri group outside of this broader acknowledgement."
Note many Ngambri words are covered in Jackson-Nakano's latest publication on Ngambri ancestral names.

thread_title:  Article reads like it was written by employees 

message: These edits of a user seem to be PR once again:   . NPR says "And the Hamburg Oil Refinery, built by the Winkler-Koch Co., became key, according to several German historians I talked to, to Hitler's war efforts. By the time they built it, it was already clear that Hitler had very major military ambitions, but one of the things he was unable to do was to refine high-octane oil for warplanes." In the new edits it sounds like Koch was some small assist partner in a project that had nothing foreseeable to do with a war. On the other hand the statement of Koch's Robertson got outright copied as fact, instead of presenting it as the answer from Robertson to criticism. 2A02:810B:109F:F534:5DEA:8375:6BC0:C6F4 (talk) 18:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Wellsville Mountains

message: I've found no confirmation of these mountains being regarded as the steepest in the world. In fact, Guinness claims that the steepest in the USis the northwest face of Half Dome in California.  Grutness...wha? 01:07, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The claim is often repeated in the Cache Valley (where I used to live). I have never seen an "official source" for it. I think the difference is Half-Dome is a single mountain. This claim is for a "chain" of mountains.  Taken in that light, I think it's possible.  For example, Half Dome is part of the larger Sierra Nevada chain of mountains, which the western slope is very gradual, not steep at all. The eastern face of the Sierra's is quite steep, but not as steep as some mountains, including the Wellsville mountains. I'm not going to defend the claim that they are the steepest in the world. For all I know it is local lore. Davemeistermoab 03:26, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Steepest mountains?

message: I live in Logan, UT (I see the Wellsville Mountains out my front window).  This is hardly irrefutable proof, I suppose, but an informational "point of interest" monument is maintained by the state of Utah at an Interstate 15 rest stop just outside of Brigham City, UT, (on the other side of the Wellsville Mountains from Logan).  It specifically says the Wellsville Mountains are the steepest mountain *range* in the world.   Note that I emphasized the specific word "range."  This may be necessary to make the point accurate.
Maybe a local Utah State University professor in geology or natural resources -- someone surely familiar with this claim -- could assist in verifying this through some academic resource?
Here is an interesting site (hosted somewhere at Utah State Univ) stating that the mountains may have been listed at one time in the Guiness Book of World Records.
"Looking west across Cache Valley, one sees the Wellsville Mountains (Image).  The Wellsville Mountains were reportedly listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as being the "steepest" mountain range on earth ("steepest" being defined as height divided by width, more accurately, they are one of the narrowest mountain ranges on earth)."

message: I hate pages with cleanup tags. I also cannot find any "definitive" source for "steepest mountain range". However, I can find several outdoor enthusiast sites (that appear credible) that state "one of the steepest mountain ranges".

Talk:Cold burn

message: Since the cold burn article was merged to Burn, all of the content was deleted as unverifiable. Someone there suggested that someone looking for information on a "cold burn" was likely looking for information on frostbite instead.  So, it stands to reason that this page should redirect to frostbite and not burn.  On the other hand, if a cold burn is neither a burn nor frostbite, and there are no resources to say what it is, then this page should probably just be deleted outright.

thread_title:  Merge with [[Brady Plan]]? 

message: The Brady Plan was the consequence of rescuing Latin America during a period that is minimally catalogued in Wikipedia that was part of a response to the larger Latin American Debt Crisis that caused the demise of Manufacturer's Hanover Bank, the takeover by Chase Manhattan Bank by Chemical Bank, takeover by Deutsche Bank of Bankers Trust and the investment by the Saudi prince, Al-Waleed bin Talal in Citibank and Citigroup as it morphed along during the modern fiscal crisis. The history behind the Brady Plan explains a substantial part of US financial history from the late 1970s until well into the 1990s. It is a shame that information was deleted, as people will be unable to understand the financial history of the post-Bretton Woods era without it. Hopefully, it was not deleted intentionally to suppress information which still seems to be a serious problem here on Wikipedia... My point, however, is that there needs to be some background about the impact of this event on the U.S. banking industry in particular (apparently the European banks were relatively untouched by it at the time) and the behavioral consequences of it and why the solution was undertaken by the Republicans at the time... Would anyone like to add some knowledge to it? Stevenmitchell (talk) 23:40, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Meg White

message: First of all, they have to resort to the associated press and satirical comedy websites, which aren’t valid sources for music criticism. I don’t think there’s a single music critic or respected publication like NYT and Wall Street journal that criticizes her drumming. 
A lot of people seem to be unaware that music is an art and not an athletic competition. In music, simplicity is just as valid as something complicated. I also don’t see this charge of male drummers (The Stooges and many classic punk bands had just as simple drumming by males which go uncriticized) that play simply, so it also stinks of sexism and misogyny.

Talk:St. George's, Bermuda

message: There is a slight amount of confusion about the name, as to whether it is "St. George" or "St. George's". Bermudian usage these days is basically uniformly "St. George's" - see for instance these books:
* Michael Jarvis, Bermuda's Architectural Heritage: St. George's (Bermuda National Trust, Hamilton, 1998) (note title, even!)
* Terry Tucker, Bermuda: Today and Yesterday Today
as well as many others. It is possible to find books which refer to "St. George", but this is not the most common form. Just to be confusing, the full formal name is "Town of St. George"! No doubt the "St. George's" is a contraction of "St. George's Town". Noel (talk) 02:47, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: The usual explanation current in the town some years ago was that it is proper to refer to it fully as either the Town of St. George, or St. George's town, but, in shorthand, ONLY as St. George's. Many historical and current maps and books show St. George, but that is only indicative of the ignorance of non-Bermudians when they purport to document Bermuda.

replies: text: Try it. How, exatcly, is one supposed to enter a gamma, roman or italic, without grabbing a hold of the mouse at some point, in order to do a cut-n-paste? What if this is the first time you get to a gamma on this page?  Is one supposed to go to another page, which happens to have a gamma on it, and cut-n-paste from there? There is pretty much no way to edit this stuff without having to have the hand fly to the mouse, which is a pretty highly inefficieint way of editing. Never mind that a page with a mixture of the two styles is harder to scan. Again, I feel that if you had direct experience editing math pages, you would understand these issues; this is exactly why I consider this kind of edit as "meddling".  linas 19:05, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
