Template talk:Heads of state of Romania

message: In fact, Nat was the one who twice reverted me without comment, even after I directed him here, so it's rather untoward of him to tell me that I "need" to use the talk page, but all right. Templates are supposed to be concise, but the current "compromise" is far too excessive in its level of detail. In particular:
:No other template has the bold/not bold feature; there's really no need for it here.
:There's no need, either, for spelling out full titles or putting up italics rather than asterisks for interim functions, or similar flourishes. Keep it simple, you know?
:Cuza took power in 1859 as co-prince of Moldavia and Wallachia, and became "Domnitor of Romania" only in 1862. And incidentally, Romania was not an independent state until May 9, 1877 (under Romanian law) or July or so of 1878 (under international law).
:If you're going to be pedantically exhaustive, what about the 1927-1930 regency (in fact two distinct entities, since Sărăţeanu replaced Buzdugan when the latter died)? Or the Locotenenţa Domnească of 11 February - 10 May 1866? Or 27-28 September 1914, when, the Throne being vacant, the King's constitutional powers were exercised by "his ministers meeting in council" (art. 86 of the 1866 Constitution)? Or, per art. 81 of the 1923 Constitution and art. 38 of the 1938 Constitution, what about those similar brief intervals on 20 July 1927 and 6 September 1940? Or what about Iliescu? He wasn't elected President until May 20, 1990; before his inauguration some days later, he was President of the FSN Council and then President of the Provisional Council of National Unity.
:Yes, for 3½ months in 1947-48 there was an interim committee, then replaced by Parhon alone, but after all, Parhon headed it, so really, there's no special need to mention its other members. And yes, after Groza and Dej died, a couple of guys "headed" Romania for a few days (the real heads being Dej in the first instance and in the second, a competing Apostol-Drăghici-Ceauşescu faction of the PCR, from which the latter emerged triumphant after a couple of days), but again, not that important, not worth cluttering up the template for.
:The point is, Romania's heads of state were Cuza, Carol I (domnitori), Ferdinand, Mihai, Carol II, Mihai (Kings), Parhon, Groza, Maurer, Gheorghiu-Dej, Stoica (State Council Presidents), Ceauşescu (State Council President and then just President), Iliescu, Constantinescu, Iliescu, Băsescu, and, if you really insist, Văcăroiu and then Băsescu again (Presidents). Mentioning any other names is overkill; the full details belong in the President of Romania and King of the Romanians articles. Biruitorul (talk) 18:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sounds like a well-argued case to me.  While at it, just a point of minute detail: when did the Romanian Declaration of Independence occur exactly?  Was it May 9 (declaration in Parliament) or 10 (signing by Carol I)? Or perhaps May 21 or 22 (depending on Old Style vs New Style)? Please see my query to Dahn for more on this question, and some context behind it. Turgidson (talk) 19:50, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:East Patchogue, New York

message: Your map of East Patchogue is incorrect.  N. Dunton Avenue is not the dividing line between N. Bellport and E. Patchogue.  East Patchogue extends further east to about Shurger Avenue.  There are racist attempts to change streets in East Patchogue and label them North Bellport.  The streets east of N. Dunton and Dunton Avenue extend almost a mile east.  I believe they attempted to do this because of the racial make-up of this portion of East Patchogue.  I have grown up in East Patchogue and lived on Americus Avenue.  The address is still East Patchogue.  My mother still lives there and is outraged that she finds her block are on some maps that show her block lies within N. Bellport.  She has been there since 1960 and it is, and always has been East Patchogue.  St. Joseph the Worker R.C. Churh is on the next block east and is on Narragansett Avenue that is also further east.  If you look up that address, you will see it is in East Patchogue as well.  I believe an investigation is necessary to correct this error.  Thank you.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.231.39 (talk) 04:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The map is provided by the US Census Bureau. It is a map of the census-designated place, which is merely a statistical area with definitive boundaries used only for census purposes. East Patchogue is also a hamlet, which is an unincorporated community (no government, not legally recognized). Because hamlets have no legal boundaries, local interpretations as to what is in or not in the hamlet can vary. East Patchogue is also the name given by the United States Postal Service to a delivery area. These zones (in this case 11772) are often named after a community they serve, but typically do not have the same boundaries, as ZIP code areas are designed for maximizing post office efficiency. In short, the map is an accurate representation of the CDP, but not necessarily of the hamlet or the ZIP code area. --JBC3 (talk) 04:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

*Roots in the Community: A very large oak tree, partly hollow, stood for decades along Old Country Road in East Quogue and was a virtual post office for Quogue's early settlers. They called it the ``old box tree and placed their mail in the tree's hollow center to be picked up and exchanged by post riders. In 1894, the tree was damaged by fire and removed to the Quogue Post Office. Today, that portion of the tree is still on display at the Old Schoolhouse Museum on Quogue Street.

Talk:Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Nellie

message: I don't know how the title was spelled in the original sheet music, so perhaps there's some historical reason for spelling "till" with an apostrophe. Unless there's evidence for that, the spelling should be corrected to the proper, non-apostrophe, version. The commonly used form "'til" is at best unnecessary, since there's a perfectly valid word, spelled "till," that means exactly the same thing, and is pronounced exactly that same way. The form "'till" isn't even a sensible abbreviation of "until."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thinkatron (talk • contribs) 01:17, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Jericho, New York

message: There are 18 villages and 18 hamlets within the Town of Oyster Bay. The U.S. Post Office has organized these 36 places into 30 different 5-digit ZIP codes. Obviously the boundaries of hamlets and ZIP codes cannot be the same. CDPs boundaries can and do change from one census to the next. There should be no expectation at all of any commonality between boundaries of hamlets, CDPs and ZIP codes -- nor school districts or fire districts. Villages are another matter, as the census bureau seems to attempt to observe their boundaries. Unfortunately, because statistics are readily available for the CDPs [and not so much for hamlets & school districts & ZIP codes], wikipedians have chosen to make the articles about the short-lived CDPs. --JimWae (talk) 18:17, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, there should be some expectation of commonality (in terms of overlapping area), but different boundaries.  I agree that the Wikipedia article should focus on the Hamlet, not the zip code, CDP, fire district, or anything else (I think some school district articles exist on WP though).  I thought of removing the CDP map, but the CDP map is a standard feature of every village, town, hamlet, etc article, and I figured there's a larger project group that makes those decisions.  I undid an earlier edit because it contradicted the that map (and it was unsourced and gramatically poor), and I couldn't find any maps online that show the actual hamlet boundary.  When I get a chance, I'll consult my printed Hagstrom map (I think that might show hamlet boundaries) and revise the article if needed. -Sme3 (talk) 19:05, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Manorville, New York

message: I have altered the story of Seth Raynor's unilateral rechristening of the Railway station to delete the suggestion he was motivated as a Patriot by resentment of the Smith family.  The source cited for this story - Newsday.com - does not say this.  The statement also defies commonsense as the "Tangier" Smith family were patriots, not loyalists (the heir to the Manor, General John Smith served with distinction in the Revolutionary army).  If the story is history (and it sounds like romantic folk tale), perhaps Raynor did resent the Smiths, but this would seem separate from his distaste for the English Crown and, besides, there is no source citation to support such a speculation listed here.

The larger of the two was offered for $8,995.00.  It had three bedrooms (very small) a living room, kitchen and a tiny dinning area and had a crawl space underneath the house. Your only option when purchasing your home was the color.  My family purchased the larger of the two models and we moved in in the summer of 1960.

message: I'm disappointed in the quality of this article as currently written. In tone it's more like a promotional brochure from a local tourist agency then an encyclopedia article. The article needs to be written from verifiable, reliable sources and these walls of unreferenced, unwikilinked text I think fall short of that standard. I'm not necessarily disputing the claims made in the current version; I've recently been to Narrowsburg and can personally attest to some of them. However, we need sources and we need neutral writing. I have also reverted the class of the article from B-class back to start. I have done this for two reasons:
# An article shouldn't be re-assessed during a content dispute.
# This article doesn't compare favorably to other B-class city articles; check some random examples in :Category:B-Class WikiProject Cities articles and you'll see what I mean.

message: Well, the current info on this page is neither cited, nor entirely correct or well written and as far from encyclopaedic than a dog is from a caterpillar. The tone of the article is that of a second grader with bad writing skills. What I had earlier at least sounded better, read better and was accurate.
The primary purpose of an encyclopaedic entry is to provide info and that info cannot be trumped by syntax and arbitrary judgement of what constitutes "promotional" copy. Right now, as it stands, this article provides zero info and the deletion of the the copy I had makes it totally pointless in existence.
Additionally, hardly see a point of citing sources since I am a firsthand witness to the information posted. Original research matters a whole lot more than second hand write-ups.
