Talk:Avril Angers

message: [This discussion relates to this edit by Drew270, and my reversion of it (twice).]
:[Comment copied from User talk:GrindtXX ]
:Why alter/ reamend avril angers,it was giving more info on her,i wanted to find out whom that person was in all creatures great and small and I went to great lengths to find out whom it was,,it wasnt disruptive,she was one of the main characters in that episode Drew270 (talk) 14:44, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all just adding content, even if accurate, isn't always a good thing: there's such a thing as too much information: see WP:IINFO. In this case, the existing text is a balanced sentence listing the various TV series Angers appeared in: suddenly heading off on a tangent to go into exhaustive detail about one particular role disrupts the flow and is likely to confuse or frustrate the reader. It's particularly misleading in that, as noted in All Creatures Great and Small (TV series), she actually appeared in two different episodes of the series in two different roles: as Miss Dooley in "Pups, Pigs and Pickle", and as Molly Shadwell in "A Friend for Life". If you wanted to restructure the section to include a list or table of all the series she appeared in and the parts she played (compare, e.g., Keith Marsh), that would be a different matter and I'd have no objection. Second, your edit badly broke the syntax by removing the end of the italics for the series title, meaning that the latter two thirds of the paragraph appeared in italics. Did you even bother to look at it after making your edit? Also, for reasons beyond me, you removed the pipe from the series title, so that instead of reading "All Creatures Great and Small" it read "All Creatures Great and Small (TV series)", which helps nobody. Third, your edit is sloppy and full of grammatical errors, like suddenly capitalising "Where" in the middle of a sentence, likewise sticking a full stop in the middle of a sentence, and omitting a space. Not to mention the ambiguity of the word "expectant": does that mean pregnant or anticipating something? Is it Miss Dooley or her Yorkshire Terrier who is expectant? There are dozens of problems with your edit, and nothing to be said in its favour, which is why I reverted. GrindtXX (talk) 17:03, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Barry lived in some spare office space at the factory for at least several months, and had a bunch of instruments and recording gear set up.  I still have a four song demo cassette from that era.

Talk:HMS Pegasus (1897)

message: As of today - 18 May 2008 - the following passage exists on the HMS Pegasus (1897) page:
“the Captain, Commander Ingles, struck the colours to avoid further bloodshed.�?
Consider to read on:
(1)  “On the afterdeck some sailor began waving a white flag, but when Gunnery Officer Apel called it to Captain Looff’s attention he knew it was but the work of some single sailor, that British captains did not raise white flags no matter what their fate, and he gave the orders to continue firing.�? Edwin Palmer Hoyt, The Germans who never lost. New York: Funk & Wagnalls. 1968, p. 65 
(2)  “At one point an officer shouted to Looff that Pegasus had surrendered, and pointed to a white flag in the inferno.  Looff ignored it, assuming correctly that some British sailor had panicked and that Ingles would never strike his colors.�? Charles Miller, Battle for the Bundu, The First World War in German East Africa. New York: MacMillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1974, p. 50  
Perhaps someone with knowledge of Royal Navy protocol could look into all this.

thread_title: Date of Scuttling
Talk:Osprey-class sloop

message: What exactly is the meaning of "glass scuttles"? The wiktionary link supports only the sense of portholes, i.e., windows, for illumination and viewing. But in contrast with "solid plug" my guess is that we're talking about accommodation for scuttling, basically a break-glass-to-sink-ship facility. Except scuttle, as a noun, seems not to be very common for such a thing; there are sea-cocks (which are obviously a kind of valve). Google searches are complicated by the use of the word as both noun and verb, the dominant meaning of "porthole", and some interchange with "scupper".
I'm considering changing "glass scuttles" to "glass scuttle plugs" and changing the link to Wikipedia's "Scuttling" article, unless someone can confirm that it isn't scuttling we're talking about at all.
