thread_title:  Important Notes Before Editing This Article 

message: Removed history due to lack of citation references
In the spring of 1871 the City of Silver Lake was incorporated. We are proud of other events, described below, that have made Silver Lake what it is today.
 
- Telephones were installed in 1885, but it wasn’t until 1907 that a switchboard system was added.
 
-In 1911 a new six room brick school building replaced the original two room structure and the first high school class was organized. In 1928 that building became the grade school In 1952 the high school burned and a new high school was completed in 1953. New Grade School construction was completed in 1961 and in 1970 and again in the mid 1990’s the schools saw additional construction.
 
- The two lane hard-surfaced road through the city was completed in 1928 and was later known as US Highway 40 and still later became US Highway 24.
 
- The original waterworks system, including a 50,000 gallon water tower was completed in 1946. A new 200,000 gallon water tower was constructed in 1996.
 
- A volunteer fire department was established in 1949. In 1964 Shawnee County Rural Fire District #1 was organized and currently has two full-time employees.
 
- In 1959 street signs were added to the city. The Lions Club numbered all homes in 1965.
 
- The Silver Lake Community Center was built in 1969 and the City park shelter house in 1970.
 
- Construction of the sewer and main facility was begun in 1976 and was completed in 1977.
 
- Improvements to the lagoon were completed in 2007.

Talk:Lewis Sabran

message: Merge?  Nah.  The Gallic title is, first, unhelpful, as he is a figure in English history and is sought by his Anglicized name.  Secondly, the article at the Gallic title is, begging the pardon of its authors, pretty awful.  Thirdly, the information in it is covered in this article, albeit in a more fluent form.  My feeling, and yes I wrote this article, is that the other name should be merely a redirect to this article, with no merging and certainly no merger of the strained and strange language of that one.

replies: text:  Cool. I like this, too. But I suggest uncropping a bit to show the entire right forearm, and perhaps to show the entire helmut. GW looks better as a soldier in uniform. :-)  --74.14.18.41 16:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What I was trying to do is to hide both the spoon and the words "prepared coffee" so it is more ambiguous. But also keeping a square 100x100px image that is commonly used on the main page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Zzyzx11, I understand why and I agree with you.  But, it's hard to make out what it is. I couldn't tell that the semi-circles are GW's eyes till I see the uncropped version. I just thought it's better to show more of the right arm. The spoon without the handle doesn't look like a spoon and shouldn't 'give away' too much. Let's keep the spoon off, anyways. It can be distracting. I suggest uncropping on the left to show the wrist and a little of the sleeve, and just uncrop a little bit on the right to keep the "eyes" close to the middle. The picture does not have to be a square, does it? --74.14.18.41 17:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It is not uncommon that the lead of an article is altered for the main page, though usually not so drastically. I also don't see why it is so important to have that lead when it can be found right in the article. In addition, the person who wrote the article in the first place is the same person who changed the lead here; the author clearly approves of it. —Centrx→talk • 01:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:LeRoy, Kansas

message: This article renders the name both LeRoy and Le Roy within the text. FYI, the city's website spells it without the space "LeRoy", while Google Maps gives it with the space "Le Roy". Furthermore, its post office has historically been spelled "Le Roy" and "Leroy".. Either way, the article should be consistent or state that either spelling is acceptable.- Gilliam (talk) 14:25, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  LeRoy or Le Roy? 
Talk:Tomato can

message: So, it seems to me that the term "tomato can" actually means slightly different things in different contexts.  I've read about a pair of brothers in Tennessee who each have about 20-300 records (yes, hundreds of losses) who generally box for about $100 per round, and almost always lose.  Those types of fighters- they would probably be considered "tomato cans" if you had to look at the objective facts.
But it also seems that the term is also used when there is a large disparity in perceived quality between two fighters, especially when a champion is involved.  For example- Ali's fight against Wepner was expected to be a fairly easy win for the champ, but it ended up being an exhausting marathon fight, instead of an easy 4 or 5 round KO win for Ali.  Wepner had a winning record, something like a 75% win rate, which is very good.  He was also the State Champion of New Jersey, which was one of the biggest boxing states in the country.
My point is- the guys with 15-179 records, those are not the same "tomato cans" that champions fight.  A fighter who is a journeyman- when a champion fights him, the guy's called a tomato can, and I'd hope that the article might somehow explain that notion/concept.

Talk:Hebrew Braille

message: The chart for the vowels in Hebrew braille includes aleph (א). Aleph is a consonant in Hebrew; though westerners frequently mistake it for a vowel, it never functions as one. The 'World Braille Usage' source already cited in the article correctly lists it as a consonant only. Are there any objections to rebuilding the vowels chart to match the one in in that source?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.160.139.1 (talk) 23:08, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

message: What about blind computer users trying to learn about Hebrew braille?  Look at the Vietnamese Braille page and you'll see that they showed each character twice: once in graphical format and once in text format for people who can't see the graphics (they listed the character name followed by the dot numbers for the braille).  Your page would be a lot more useful if it were accessible to blind people...

Talk:Queensway, Birmingham

message: Back in June it was suggested that this page be merged with A4400 road. That sounds very reasonable, given the extensive overlap.

replies: text: Although the Queensway name is indeed often used by Brummies, it's more widely known as the Birmingham Inner Ring Road (even though it's no longer a ring road, and the council deprecates that usage).

thread_title: Merge

message: Can someone explain why the articles about the city suburbs have the suffix Hampshire rather than Southampton? e.g. Shirley, Hampshire rather than Shirley, Southampton (which is now a re-direct). As a Shirley resident, I don't consider that I live in Hampshire but rather in the City of Southampton, and I'm proud of it.  On looking at the edit history, most of the articles were re-named in November 2006, with the edit summary "correct form of disambiguation". Where is this policy set out? Can you imagine renaming say, Edge Hill, Liverpool to Edge Hill, Lancashire simply because it falls within the boundaries of the old county of Lancashire?

message: Another thing I would appreciate your input on, is whether Måns Andersson is really notable enough to merit an article? Because Wikipedia is not a directory of genealogical entries. What do you think? / Fred-Chess 14:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, hard to say. He was in the second group of settlers at New Sweden, and he particpated in the mutiny which seems like a big deal, although it isn't in our articles for the colony or the governor, and he wasn't a leader. Weak independent notability. --Dhartung | Talk 18:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

text: The "not a genealogy" meme is meant to keep people from inserting their grandmas, not to discourage biographies. As one of very few settlers of America in the 1640, I'd think he's notable enough. - Nunh-huh 19:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: It doesn't flow at all. It comes out of nowhere, a sudden digression to Connecticut statutes, then a sudden switch back to a completely different topic, codification.

replies: text: Hey , on my talk page you asked What relevance does the printing of the statutes of Connecticut possibly have in the middle of a discussion of interstate (not intrastate) diversity of state law? - but the discussion of Connecticut statutes comes after the section on State_law_(United_States)#Interstate_diversity right? It's in the next section. Prior to my restoration of the Connecticut section, it started with The first reaction, codification, was an attempt - there was no sense of what had been reacted to, whereas the Connecticut thing at least set the stage of unwritten law (albeit in that state). After reading it more carefully, I see what you mean and I replaced the Connecticut section with a citation which starts to discuss the early movement. II | (t - c) 15:20, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

(http://fulham.londoninformer.co.uk/2009/11/hammersmith-palais-plans-throw.html), because the article is no longer available online.
Information on this from Trinity Mirror:
"The old London Informer website was relaunched as the Fulham Chronicle in around 2009/10 and I'm not sure that the archived articles were migrated across. Subsequently the Fulham Chronicle site has since been amalgamated into getwestlondon - which is why that keeps coming up when you click on your link. GWL has all of the Fulham Chron back catalogue but nothing from earlier it seems.
Short of calling local libraries to see if they have the papers from that era on microfilm, I'm not sure what to suggest."

message: Is there any reliable historical source for the origin of the name "au sable"?  While "with sand" is plausible, so is "black water".  In archaic and some dialects of French, sable does in fact mean "black" and is the origin of that sense in the English word "sable".  "Au" might also be a corruption of "eau".  The question arises not just because this area was early visited by French who came from various parts of France where standard French was not the norm, but also because in the vicinity of AuSable Forks, there is a stream called "Black Brook", perhaps an early English echo of the name Au Sable as they understood it.
