Talk:Figure skate

message: This has been bothering me for a while...
The skate shown in that ubiquitous blue-tinted skate image is not really a figure skate that a figure skater would wear.  It's the kind of inexpensive ice skate that a recreational skater might purchase at a sporting goods store.  The things that give it away are (1) the thin, floppy construction of the boot; (2) the tiny toe picks; (3) the blade being permanently riveted to the boot instead of attached with screws.
When I have a chance, I'll try to take some photos of my own equipment.  It's not as fancy as what elite competitors wear, but at least it's recognizable as a "real" figure skate and not a toy.  Dr.frog 00:43, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I know that Wikipedia isn't for advertising, but I'm surprised that there isn't information on Wikipedia (that I could find) about say, Riedell or Jackson.  I was looking for some information for my girlfriend, who I'm trying to get into recreational skating.
Speaking of which, the photographs in this article are great, but do we have any use for pictures of men's skates as well?   I have an old, beaten-up pair of pretty good skates I used to use when I was in the sport about 10 years ago... CSZero 15:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Atlantic Spanish mackerel

message: I have discovered what appears to be a duplicate article and would like to propose a merging of the two articles: 
* material from Spanish Mackerel into the Atlantic Spanish mackerel article
The former has more content but I believe the latter title would be more appropriate as it is more descriptive and is also the common name listed on the Scombridae page. I am not a fish expert, just an ordinary editor trying to tidy things up, so would appreciate some feedback from someone more knowledgeable than myself on whether this would be the correct course of action to take. Thanks! If there is no response made here within a week or two I will probably go ahead and merge the two articles. --Velvet-Glove 18:11, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now merged Spanish Mackerel into the Atlantic Spanish mackerel article, as proposed above. I'm still not sure about the migration info in the introductory paragraph but have left it as it was.

thread_title: Survey

message: The sentence naming the tunnel as the "stinky tunnel" has been noted as needing citation, and I tried my best to find some. I understand this is simply anecdotal and does not meet Wikipedia's standards as a reference, but as someone who grew up in Dain City/Welland through the 80s and 90s I know personally that it was well known at least to Dain City residents of that timeframe as "the stinky tunnel". I believe it is still known as such to Dain City residents to this day. For example, I was able to find the following resident casually referring to it as such on a Jeep forum. The second post in the thread, by user johndeerekid, contains several instances of the moniker.
The closest reference I found was a Niagara Falls Review column describing the reason for the smell, which I have included and cited, but it unfortunately makes no direct reference to the name "stinky tunnel" and so cannot serve as citation for the name.
I understand this is original research at best and doesn't qualify directly to support the citation, but I hope it can inspire someone in the future to attempt to find a proper citation, or at least give it the benefit of the doubt until a proper citation can someday hopefully be found. The nickname does seem to be pretty local though, and for that reason, might also be considered non-notable.Cecilkorik (talk) 06:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Austin Area Terminal Railroad

message: Is this the (former?) Austin and Northwestern Railroad?  If so it might help to clarify that.  And if I recall correctly, the entire line used to be part of Southern Pacific.  If we want to be really specific, I think the railroad is based in McNeil, Texas though there is no Wikipedia article for that place.  As far as I could tell, McNeil consists only of a general store/post office and the rail junction between this railroad and the Union Pacific.  I remember the railyard being a little east of there so that might not even count as "McNeil". -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 00:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Internet tax

message: :"The United Nations has in the past considered proposing an e-mail tax, in an effort to raise funds to boost Internet technology access to poor countries.[3] Citing a "knowledge gap" between the United States and underdeveloped countries, proponents of e-mail taxes believe that its potential redistributive effects make it an ideal tax for implementation on a global scale. According to a report by the United Nations Development Program entitled "Globalization With a Human Face", Internet users are mostly males located in the United States, a situation UN researchers suggest puts the world's undeveloped countries at risk of being left behind in a race for knowledge.[4] "The literally well connected have an overpowering advantage over the unconnected poor, whose voices and concerns are being left out of the global conversation," the UNDP said in a 1999 press release. To "rectify the imbalance" between Internet users and non-users, the report's authors proposed a "tax of one US cent on every 100 lengthy e-mails" which they believed would generate $70 billion a year. Imposition of e-mail taxes by the U.S. government or any of its political subdivisions is banned by the Internet Tax Freedom Act."
The only reference given in this section is to this report. I've gone over the report a few times, and have found nothing about 1. internet taxes, 2. redistribution of wealth, or 3. Internet demographics, with the exception of one mentioning of how many people use the Internet in Luxembourg and one mentioning of the existence of a digital divide. Am I missing something, or is this paragraph in reality totally unsourced? This is, I should say, my biggest pet peeve with Wikipedia at the moment — things that look sourced but are really not sourced at all.
