Talk:Ralph (name)

message: I grew up in the UK, had several friends called Ralph, and never encountered the "Rafe" pronunciation until recently (I'm 62) until I heard Sir Ralph Vaughan Williams referred to as "Sir Rafe...." on the radio quite recently. I think for the mass of UK inhabitants this rather pompous pronunciation is either a thing of the past or confined to the upper classes. --MichaelGG (talk) 09:22, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, my comment isn't very scientific, but ... It does seem to me that the "Rafe" pronunciation is an affectation intended to attribute rare or unique qualities to the so-referenced individual. Mwr0 (talk) 17:42, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

____________________________________________________________________________________
There are a series of errors and some confusions in this article. The original old Trocadero Music Hall is opposite Leicester Square Tube Station on Charing Cross Road, is still there, and operates as a casino and night club. Lyon's old Trocadero Restaurant building, on several floors, is in Coventry Street up towards the Haymarket. It was gutted and is now a shopping complex. The old Pavilion Theatre, on Piccadilly Circus, has also been gutted and is now a shopping complex but it is entirely separate (and cut off by a street) from the Coventry Street building, which is down the street.
The Trocadero Ballroom, yet another building with this name, is on Shaftesbury Avenue opposite Windmill Street. It housed a disco as well as the Golden Nugget Casino until very recently. 86.138.126.16 (talk) 17:05, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:William H. Wilbur

message: Hi, I'm afraid that I think this article needs substantial work before it can become a GA. I will lay out the problems below and if you believe you can address them within seven days then by all means do. If you don't think that is possible or don't manage to reach the level in the time then I am afraid I will have to fail the article as it stands.
* The biggest problem here is comprehensiveness. The article is about a man's life and yet 2/3 of the text are given over to him winning the medal of honor. For some MoH recipients, thais is fair as they were young men killed in the action in which they won the medal. For William Wilbur however, this is not the case: No information is given about birth, parentage, education or childhood; He served in World War I but no details of where ot in what capacity are given; there is nothing whatsoever on his life between 1918 and 1942; after his exploits in Torch, there are only the very barest details of must have been an interesting and active military career during the war; after 1947 he appears to have been fairly prominent political advisor yet there are almost no details of this period; almost nothing is mentioned of his life between 1952 and 1979, including greater details of his retirement, subsequent work or family (other than one mention of his son). This includes information regarding his law enforcement and writing career.
*More sources are required to provide the information needed above and provide a rounded picture of his character.
*There maybe other problems to be addressed once the above are dealt with.
Far more is needed before this article can reach GA I'm afraid. Please let me know your opinion if that level of work is achieveable or not.--Jackyd101 22:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Santa Clara, Eugene, Oregon

message: Is Santa Clara really a formal CDP? Can you cite the census data? (All the CDPs that existed in 2000 have bot-created articles--I'd be surprised if they left any out.) I've always considered it a neighborhood of Eugene, though I'm not sure how much of it is w/in Eugene city boundaries right now. If it's a neighborhood, I'd like to see it moved to Santa Clara, Eugene, Oregon per naming conventions. And P.S. to Geolinks fans. There is a goal of the Geographic Coordinates WikiProject to do away with the external links that come with the Geolinks templates. You will notice the empty "External links" section. Let me know if you wish to comment on this change and I can tell you where (or just check my contribs). Thanks! Katr67 02:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Draco sumatranus

message: Didn't bother chasing this up, it appears the current name is as a subspecies of Draco volans. I put a comment-out on the taxobox.
According to this source: http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~mcguirej/McGuire.Kiew.BJLS.pdf , D. volans and D. sumatranus are seperate species : "We recognize D. sumatranus and D. volans, which occur on the Sunda Shelf, as distinct species because they are allopatrically distributed and diagnosable"
This other source, http://www.ecologyasia.com/verts/lizards/common_gliding_lizard.htm aslo calls them D. sumatranus
However, http://www.wildsingapore.per.sg/discovery/factsheet/lizarddraco.htm calls them D. volans

Talk:Shelley (name)

message: "As with many other names (Ashley, Courtney, etc.), Shelley is today a name given almost exclusively to girls after historically being male."
Is Ashley predominantly female enough to be worthy of this statement now?  Here in England, I grew up to regard Ashley as a primarily male name.  Though looking on Ashley (name), it seems to shift from usually male to usually female around 1981, though I don't suppose it's significant enough to consider Ashley rare as a male name now.  Though this also depends on the level of systemic bias in that list.  What do people think? — Smjg (talk) 22:19, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Harold Martin (RAF officer)

message: Medals: in 1967 I served in the RAF Near East Air Force HQ when AVM Martin was Senior Air Staff Officer. That was a long time ago now and I may be fooling myself. However I can now clearly visualise the Australia Service Medal among his chest full of ribbons. The colourful array of Honours and Awards in the main article does not include this one.Rupert Butler (talk) 22:53, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I first thought he would not have qualified for the ASM as he was in the RAF, not the Australian armed forces, but as the article says, he was a member of No. 455 Squadron RAAF in 1941. Not sure if he met the 18 month service requirement, or if his subsequent service in the RAF counted somehow, but I guess it's possible. We would need to see a published reference though, before adding to the article. --Canley (talk) 13:13, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Provincial Marine

message: The article claims: "Operations were maintained and staffed by the Royal Navy." A scholar working for Parks Canada writes, however: "the Marine was a small Canadian hybrid navy, naval in work but military in  administration.  It came under the command of the governor and commander of the forces in British North America and was superintended by the Quarter-Master General's department of the army." "Who were the sailors of the provincial marine?  For the most part they were civilian mariners recruited on contract by the Deputy Quarter Master Department." Source: http://www.warof1812.ca/provmarine.htm What is correct? 84.23.155.84 (talk) 19:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Both are technically correct, the real question is to what degree and when. The Royal Navy did take over the direct administration of the PM in 1813, but most of the sailors and officers and the ships were still from the PM. This was especially true on Lake Erie, which really puts the US victory there in perspective. Yeo has been accused of starving Barclay of supplies, to the point where Barclay had no choice but to confront the better equipped and manned US squadron. Perry did defeat a "Royal Navy" squadron that was in substance still Provincial Marine.McMuff (talk) 19:22, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

People who add pics to this pool should also try and add a meaningful caption highlighting the salient features of the pic.  Wherever possible, try to highlight how it is special on a national/international level.  For example, for the andaman pic, I can think of connecting it to some of India's most isolated tribes and/or the tsunami.
