Talk:Franklin Glacier Complex

message: Could we get more references for this? The one listed reference doesn't seem to have much in the way of specifics. For one thing, I'm skeptical of the claim that an over 1 million year old volcano could erupt again; that needs to be cited or it should be taken out. Thanks! -- Spireguy (talk) 02:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: More references would be good, but if you do a simple google search there's nothing much. Lots of volcanoes older than 1 million years could erupt again; see Mount Meager and Mount Cayley, which have been active for 2 and 3 million years. I will continue searching for references for the Franklin Glacier Volcano. Black Tusk 02:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This volcano appears to have long periods of inactivity. The first eruptive event occurred between six and eight million years ago while the seconed stage occurred between two and three million years ago, indicating Franklin has a period of activity about every three million years. Will it erupt again I don't know; very little is known about Franklin and volcanologists can not predict the next eruption of a volcano unless there is something unusual, such as increasing earthquakes or increasing heat in hot springs. However, no hot springs and volcanic earthquakes are known to occur in the Franklin area. Black Tusk (talk) 23:22, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Armstrong Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania

message: Does anybody have access to the 1890 census? I don't see how over 7,000 people could've lived here in 1890. Today, Loyalsock Township has population over 10,000. Perhaps a population of over 1,000 fits Armstrong better? I've looked for more accurate info with little success. I think that 7k is an error from the scanning of the Meginnes book.

replies: text: Thanks so much. It seems to be an "adding 1 in front of the number error" then reading that 1 as a 7 as the Meginness online version here says "Armstrong township is the eighteenth in size in the county and contains 13,440 acres, with a population of 7,385 by the census of 1890." I think it was an optical character recognition / scanning error. The same online version of Meginness also will sometimes have "crook" for "creek" or "bum" for "burn", other common OCR errors.

Talk:Lake County Sheriff's Office (Florida)

message: First off, and sincerely, welcome to Wikipedia. Our goal here is to build the world's best encyclopedia. It is hard work and often seems like an endless argument. But relax, everyone edits everyone else's work all the time. That is the nature of the beast. If I can be of any help to you let me know. 
In any case, the cite states Lt. C.J. Thompson turned himself in and resigned for the laptop thing. The cite is reputable from a major newspaper. The facts of course may have changed (did he un-resign? Was there some sort of apology from the newspaper for getting it wrong?) But baring you finding a reliable sources saying it didn't happen, the paragraph needs to stay. 
The same can be said for killing someone after knocking on the wrong door. If an investigation or report in a reputable source indicates it never happened, we can remove the item. If we cannot, we need to leave it. 
Please find good solid cites about these or other incidents so we can get the story right. Having mistaken information is just as bad as leaving out reports from solid sources.

replies: text: Is it? The same image is on the karakul page with President Ford cropped out and a caption that identifies the hat as a karakul. I'm no expert on Asian headwear, but I think it is a karakul rather than a papkhi or kubanka. While the papakhi is often made from karakul wool, the papakhi has a curved top like a dome or a flat circular top. The hat that Brezhnev is wearing has sides that come together in the center to form a narrow top like a side cap. It looks more like a Jinnah-style karakul than a Cossack-style papakhi.

Talk:Capitalist republic

message: "Capitalist Republic" seems less like an actual form of government and more like a socialist buzz-phrase.  There's no such thing as a "capitalist republic"--capitalism is a natural outgrowth of free economic action.  There can, however, be a  Socialist Republic--having constitutional laws providing the government powers necessary to keep a socialist system in place (like in the former USSR, or China).  Governments can't instate capitalism, they can only allow it to happen.  The US Constitution, for example, allowed for the development of capitalism by implementing a fairly rigid system of checks and individual rights protections.  But its government is by no means officially a "Capitalist Republic".  So this article has no real merit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.104.206 (talk)

replies: text: Yes, you have to be careful to avoid original research/synthesis. For example, there may be sources confirming that Herbert was estranged from his gay son who later died of AIDS, but just including that fact without a reliable source making the connection with Frank's depiction of homosexuality would be inappropriate. We can't use sources to infer things that aren't sourced. Also, homosexuality is such a minor element of the novel, I think any sourced discussion of this would probably be more appropriate for the Vladimir Harkonnen article, where the character's homosexual tendencies are already mentioned.

thread_title:  Baron Harkonnen’s Homosexuality 

message: I happened across the term "Seiche" elsewhere on Wikipedia and despite a different pronunciation guide, it struck me that the sounds are similar enough to be confused. This made me wonder at the origins of the two words, and whether the French term Seiche may have been known to Frank Herbert. Seiche has been in use for quite a long time in Switzerland, referring to distinctive wave patterns on lakes. Then looking at the wiki for Dune I see Seitch given as a term from the Caucasus War meaning "camp". But a prominent feature of a Seitch in Dune was the hidden cache of water, making 'water camp' seem a plausible definition. Is all this this mere coincidence, or is it that, as often happens, words are borrowed from other places and then gradually morphed in sound and spelling? Have we any linguists who can discuss these similar-sounding terms? What about experts on Dune and/or Frank Herbert, and his travels abroad?
