Talk:George William Featherstonhaugh

message: I've seen Featherstonehaugh (with an E) used as an example of eccentric English spellings (with pronunciation "fan-shaw") ().  I don't know whether the page author was making this up (his style is somewhat over the top), or whether it's a real pronunciation but George William here has a different pronunciation, but I would like the correct pronunciation info to be added to the page.

thread_title:  Lead paragraph 

message: I am a scholar of Featherstonhaugh and have repeatedly explained why the consensus, as expressed by Berkeley and Berkeley's 'George William Featherstonhaugh: The First U.S. Government Geologist' is that the man is best described as an Anglo-American. To call him "British", as one vandal insists on doing, is inaccurate. This is not controversial. He contributed a great deal to the United States and was deeply involved with American politics, especially in his decades long correspondence with Henry Clay. It is unproductive to edit the page with an agenda and without explanation, persistently effacing any notion that he identified with his adoptive country. Please desist. If you feel an alternate label is appropriate, please engage in discussion and provide references. I'll be glad to be convinced.Bibliordic (talk) 19:23, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Tendrils should redirect to Tendril, with a disambiguation notice pointing back to here. The scientific and botanical usage of the word is far more notable than whoever these musicians are.
Sorry but this is some random garage band of no particular notability. Some people made some music, so their band name must be the first result for Wikipedia searches on the word, taking priority over the more commonly known usage of the word? Nope.
I already fought this battle once before over Washing Machine, an album from a far more well-known band.

this is a good question, and there really seems to be no consistent answer from the band.  ENGINEDOWN all one word, or they call it self-titled, when in fact it's slightly different from the band name.

message: Re-added the teacher names from before, which were deleted. Albeit these names not having their own pages yet, they bear historical significance, and their listing is important for suggesting that other people add info on them. I have included a few inline citations for supporting the historical existence and importance of those figures. The inclusion of such names is common and acceptable on martial-arts-related pages on Wikipedia. Also see:  Xingyiquan, Bajiquan, etc. The pages relating to traditional martial arts on Wikipedia are usually still underdeveloped, and it would take time until this interlinking mesh of pages about arts and teachers is going to build up.
:The names were unreferenced without there own articles. There is no way to judge whether it is useful or something you just made up.  I would advise becoming familiar with how Wikipedia operates.  Guidelines are available.  Generally unreferenced material including entire articles tend to get deleted.

thread_title: Don't delete, redirect

message: Tracfone is not a different company.  Tracfone has more phones because that brand, or "rate plan" has been around longer.  They have to support the older phones.  Look at thier newer phones of both company's.  They are all the same.  I have called one customer service and been able to service both services with the same CSR.
As far as its MVNO operation goes, Tracfone uses Sprint, Verizon, and USCC for its older service.  (They never used Nextel.  The only nextel MVNO is Boost Mobile) This is because when Tracfone first came out they were analog only.  When they transitioned to Digital they stayed with the same companies, and used thier CDMA service.  They made the transition to Cingular and T-mo when they transitioned to GSM, with the launch of Net 10.  They still support thier CDMA phones because it is cheaper to do so then to subsadise more phones.  They will be, if not already phasing out what little TDMA service they offered.  But when it comes down to it, Net 10 and Tracfone (GSM) use the same billing systems and everything.  (I am the same unsigned user that proposed to redirect) 72.150.85.94 13:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The article states that when the Nazis objected to the windows depicting Jewish philosophers, these windows were packed away in crates, which may indeed be the case with some of them. But I've seen more than one source claiming that at least a few were "ceremoniously smashed" while horrified hotel staff, management and guests looked on.
Without being able to confirm the identity of these sources, I won't insert that into the article (an excellent article by the way - have you seen the one I wrote on the Anhalter Bahnhof?)
I appreciate the comment. I'll have a look for better source on this- and have another look at my original source (it may be down to my dodgy translation of predominantly German sources). The article is still a bit rough around the edges anyway, and needs more work.
I've seen and been impressed by the Anhalter Bahnhof piece. I'd researched the subject myself and you've included lots of great stuff I've not noticed before. Have you seen the Wim Wenders' film 'Wings Of Desire'? There's some great footage of Columbo Peter Falk walking infront of the ruins circa winter 1986. Is this worth a mention in the piece?

File talk:Ethnic Composition of BiH in 2005.GIF

message: This image is Wrong. 
The Ethnic Composition of BiH in 2005 was
- 49.2 % Bosnians (Muslims)
- 31.3 % Serbs
- 17.3 % Croatians
On the image it looks like the Serbs are the biggest Ethnic Group in BiH,
but this is definitely wrong.
: The image may show this but remember that people (in most countries) generally live in cities.  The biggest cities in Bosnia Hercegovina are Sarajevo and Mostar.  Sarajevo has a very large muslim population but only a small area (like most cities) so therefore the map does appear to show that the country is very Serbian but most areas populated by Serbians (with the exception of cities like Banja Luka) are far less populated.  Similarly Mostar has a small area but a very large population (by Bosnian standards) and is populated roughly equally by Muslims and Croats.
I am presuming that the thick white lines show the division between the Federation (Muslim-Croat entity) and Republika Srpska (Bosnian Serb entity) but it appears that the Brcko (spelling may not be correct) district is part of RS on this map when in fact it is administered by neither RS nor the Federation.--Xania talk 22:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
