Those results are detailed above in the template box. Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, I am unable to leave detailed comments other than to make the following brief observation: content is of mid level importance but only written to stub quality (lack of internal referencing does not allow the reader an opportunity to capitalise on that importance However if you have specific questions, please write to me on my talk page and as time permits I will try to provide you with my reasoning. Please put my talk page on your watchlist if you do ask such a question because in the case of these responses I will only post my answer underneath your question.

Talk:South Melbourne Town Hall

message: When I lived in South Melbourne circa 1974, the Town Hall Clock's chimes could be heard as far away as Queens Road. The chimes would start (as I remember) at 6:00AM and would cease after 10:00PM, starting again at 6:00AM the next day.
I was told that this was a custom unique to South Melbourne's Town Hall Clock and that the custom was a continuation of a circumstance that had arisen when Dame Nellie Melba had been staying nearby (in, I think, a local hotel) and had been kept awake by the chimes. She imperiously demanded that they were to be silent during those night hours for the duration of her stay. Her request was granted.
The chimes continued to remain silent during those evening hours, as a tribute to her, once she left the City. I am not certain of the veracity of this story as it was told to me by a poorly educated senior citizen (who, btw, referred to "Napier Street" as N'Peeeer Street, rather than Nay-Pee-er Street); however, having lived in South Melbourne all his 85+ years, he was most certain that his story was accurate.
Does anyone else know of the truth or otherwise of this story; and does the clock still chime? If so, I think this sort of historical anecdote would embellish this article. Lindsay658 02:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The article currently begins by stating "a rake is a broom for outside use." 
I can see how a rake and broom are similar',  but that doesn't mean that a rake is a kind of broom. I have also frequently encountered brooms that were used outside that were not rakes. I checked a couple online dictionaries just to be sure and they did not mention brooms in their entries on the word "rake". I don't have a source here or anything, but I really just don't think most people think of a rake as a type of broom. 24.39.54.227 (talk) 21:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I just checked the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica reference which is cited as the source for the article's introductory paragraph. The text of the 1911 article is, for the most part, identical to the Wikipedia entry's introductory paragraph (which makes sense, it's a public domain text and I don't think rakes have changed much since 1911) but, notably, it does not contain any references to a rake being a "broom for outside use." 24.39.54.227 (talk) 21:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Warm Springs, Oregon

message: The Agency, Simnasho, and other areas in which people live are obviously NOT incorporated, and in no way shape or form ever going to be incorporated.  Indian land is very different and to say anything along the lines of incorporation on a reservation is not entirely accurate.  Some areas on some reservations can be incorporated, but not all.  The Warm Springs Tribe is unique in that it has sole jurisdiction over the land within the exterior boundaries of the reservation, unlike other Tribes, such as the Yakama do not necessarily have control of incorporated areas such as Toppenish, etc....—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.162.30 (talk • contribs) 22:33, October 9, 2007
:I think I get what you're saying. This article used to merely say that Warm Springs was a "census-designated place", which doesn't make it sound like a place with any history or community at all, so calling it an "unincorporated community" seemed like an improvement to me! If you could add some history on how the place is governed, that would be ideal. I'm going to try to edit the article to add some context to the lead (the first sentence of an article should give a definition of what the article is about)--see what you think. Thanks! Katr67 23:25, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hrm, I wish the anon would stick around, because I think he/she has some kind of point. The perspective implicit in calling the community "unincorporated" would seem to derive from the concept that it could be "incorporated." But if the Warm Springs Tribe recognizes no such status, the word "unincorporated" would seem to be meaningless, and should be dropped. The U.S. Census's perspective on this place would seem to be pretty unimportant, i.e. not leadworthy, because it is essentially outside the borders of the U.S. For that matter, it's outside the borders of Jefferson County, so that nav. template should be edited and removed. It may be "surrounded by" Jefferson County, but as I understand it, no Indian reservation can be "in" another country, e.g. the USA. -Pete (talk) 03:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, I forgot about this whole other can of worms. Yes, I'd love to hear more about the tribes' perspective on such things.
