message: A quick note that I am an employee of the National Park Service stationed at Glen Echo Park and interested in making improvements to this article. I will be following Wikipedia's policies and working in connection with a veteran Wikipedia editor. Gradually, we will begin to add content about the Park's history and use today. If anyone has any questions or concerns about the specifics of my edits, feel free to contact me. GLECRanger (talk) 15:53, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  COI Notice 

message: The tower is notable per WP:NBUILDING given the NRHP listing, but per WP:PAGEDECIDE this doesn't automatically mean it should have a standalone article. The tower is an integral part of Glen Echo Park, and there appears to be little to say about it separate from the park, and there seems to be too little information available about it to ever make it an FA by itself, so it would be better served as a part of the park's article. This is already how we handle the Dentzel carousel.  talk 05:19, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I think it should be merged into the Chautauqa section under History in the Glen Echo Park article. The picture of the tower should be added to the Glen Echo Park article. Paulmlieberman (talk) 13:10, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Could we have some more context on "German user acquitted for distribution of pornography"? Specifically, I'm interested in the context of Mutter Erde's posting - was it a sort of gratuitous addition of a porn link or was it in a discussion where such links made sense, such as a discussion of pornography? The article just says "a discussion page" which is rather non-specific. --Gwern  (contribs) 22:17 28 August 2007 (GMT)

The spelling of the German words is incorrect (should be "mein Gott").  That, and the lower-case "i" for the first person singular, and the lack of any source, led me to pull the quote.

"If not for Cole, it is unlikely Gwen Verdon would have gone on to achieve fame as a dancer; without his instruction, many now-immortal stage and screen actresses probably would not be remembered as dancers today" That is almost directly quoting the work cited, and is the opinion of the author, not a provable fact.

message: No. Ivan is not a "lucky young man." He is a "sacred fool," a man too "foolish" to be greedy, selfish, or a liar.

thread_title:  Original research/uncited information 

message: Ocean View Amusement Park roots go back to 1896.  Sometime before 1901 a ferris wheel was added to the grounds.  A charter for Ocean View Amusement Park was granted by the Virginia Corporation Commission on August 18, 1903.  The company soon after built a build a switchback railway (an early version of a roller coaster) and a toboggan slide.  The May 1957 news article you cited that states Ocean View Amusement Park opened on April 13, 1957 was referring to the annual Spring opening for the 1957 season after being closed during the the previous Fall and Winter.
The article was not referring to the Grand Opening of a new amusement park.

It was written in 1910 when the beginnings of what would become jazz were coalescing in the work Buddy Bolden and other musicians such as Jelly Roll Morton. The song was written in NYC well before jazz merged into the mainstream of American music and culture. It was pop song adapted by a fair number of jazz artists.

The other one (The Hamilton Memory Project) is not available online and was first used to justify the date "March 4", until STUDEE 64 changed it to "March 16". I'll accept that the Cruiser's actual colour was turquoise.

Talk:Belluno

message: I don't understand why there's a german name for Belluno, even before its name in Venetian Language. As an Italian I find annoying when English wikipedia tends often to use german names for italian cities also outside Alto Adige - Sudtirol, where german is spoken (often in these cases german names usually are written before the italian ones. It's wrong because in our bilingual areas it's mandatory to use both, but the italian names go always first). When I read an article about italian cities it's like the only name missing is a petroglyph  corresponding to how cavemen once know the place.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.48.136.201 (talk) 21:11, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Talk:Rene Mandri

message: The article was moved today without prior discussion, but with the edit note explanation "He is an Estonian, no need to use the French transliteration".  The Estonian language uses the Latin alphabet, so the concept of transliteration seems out of place here, but the issue is what his name is, not the language.  Absence of diacritics, esp in English language sources, is rarely of probative value: it indicates laziness or lack of awareness as to how to get the diacritics on screen.  the article on the name lists many examples of the accented name outside the francophonie, so the fact that he is not a native French speaker indicates little.  Accents can be found in his name on his employer's website, www.cyclingwebsite.net, www.cycle-racing.com, and www.cyclingnews.com, among others: there might be assumptions here on the part of some riders given the prominence of the French language in his sport.  If there is evidence that Rene, unaccented, is a commonly given first name in Estonia, or if there are reliable sites that give diacritics consistently and reliably, but do not do so in this case, I could be persuaded otherwise, but in the absence of a personal website, his team site is the nearest we have to an authoritative source close to him, and so the strongest evidence is that there should be an acute accent on that e.

We have the much newer ODNB used as a source... the old DNB has been superceeded and we use the further reading section for information that is useful and expands on what is in the article - things like online links to works by the subject or detailed treatments of minutiae that is too much detail for an encyclopedia entry.

replies: text:  Well "was probably a member of the family of Muschamp, barons by tenure of Wallovere in Northumberland (Nicolas, p. 343)" in the old DNB is no longer in the ODNB ... so clearly that information is not considered correct. Further, the ODNB is more nuanced in the treatment of the problem arising from Geoffrey, the illegitimate son of Henry II, use of Henry II's seal to secure Muschamp's archdeaconry - pointing out that in 1194 Muschamp and the other Geoffrey had fallen out so that was likely the reason for the deprivation of office, not the fact of the use of the seal after the king's death to make the appointment. The ODNB says that his election to Coventry was owing almost entirely to the royal power .. rather than the implication in the DNB that it was as much owing to Hubert Walter. The ODNB also points out that he was present at a legatine council, although he does not seem to have taken any leading role in the meeting. Nor is "According to Gervase (ii. 100) he was one of the bishops who fled from England in 1207." in the ODNB. (If you think about this, it can't be right because he died and was buried in Lichfield in 1208... so it makes no sense he would have gone into exile in 1207) And the ODNB is unequivocal that he was buried at Lichfield Cathedral. Nor is the bit about the endowing the cathedral with annual gift for beer in the ODNB. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:23, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Indeed, the stairs went up and around a bend, ending in a blank spot on the wall. The ceiling inside was nearly as high as two floors in a normal building, but indeed, it was just one level.
