Talk:Jay Cooke

message: There is clearly a mistake with this page, unless we are to assume that this fellow was elected to Congress at the age of ten.
:Good catch.  Taking a quick look in the US Congress Biography Database, I don't see a record for Jay Cooke.  I'll check a few other resources that I have access to. slambo 21:31, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Park? 

message: Just a nit-pick, but since there is actually a talk page, I thought i'd share.
I changed the link to "Private Banking" (i.e.: a type of banking service catering to high net worth individuals) to "Private Bank" (i.e.: a banking firm created as a general partnership, opposed to the current norm of chartering as a corporation).  I believe this is the correct type of "Private Bank" in this situation.

message: This article says that Pater contributed essays to The Guardian. The link suggests that he wrote for The Manchester Guardian, as the paper was then called. But did he actually write for The Guardian, an ecclesiastical journal of the same name as the modern Guardian? In either case it is wrong.

message: There are a number of ignorant people on this page who refer to babushka as a headscarf or doll. These are inaccurate understandings of the Russian language. The use of these terms is out of ignorance and perpetuates incorrect knowledge of language. No one anywhere is Russian or similar Slavic cultures uses the wording as such.

message: Wiktionary has now removed the detail on the origin of Beckwith in its usage as an English surname. Original entry as follows:
*Beckwith is a surname with two distinct English habitational origins. From southern England comes the meaning "by a brook or stream". Beckwith, West Yorkshire derives from Old English bēce ‘beech’ and Old Norse viðr ‘wood’.

Talk:Cercus

message: I believe this article should be moved to cerci even though that is the plural form of cercus and singular forms are usually preferred for article titles. To my knowledge, cerci never come alone in nature, but rather are paired (though they can sometimes be accompanied by a third tail filament). The insect antenna system is a very comparable case study, and it is listed under the plural noun in the Antenna (biology) article. Draeco 23:44, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, "antenna" is singular. Legs and wings also come several at a time, yet the articles about them are arthropod leg and insect wing.

Talk:2004 Copa América

message: This article is one of the best I've seen so far about a specific edition of a sporting competition.  Kudos to those involved.  If I might be so bold, I'd like to suggest: the one thing that seems to be missing is more information about the off-field stuff.  For instance, we could have something about Peru's bid to host this event; how much was spent by the government; if there were any troubles in connection with holding the tournament, either before it took place, or during the competition, or even after (you know, like members of the Legislative questioning the event's budget), it would be interesting to include it. And maybe some more stuff along these lines...  Perhaps a Peruvian user, or someone with access to this kind of information could make this happen?  Then the article would be perfect.

*Latvia: 1721, 1795, 1940
*Lithuania: 1795, 1940

message: The structure of the Greene & Greene house is essential not only to the immense feeling of security that such an overly-supported structure brings, but also accentuates the importance of the Arts & Crafts fundamentals in the Greene & Greene style. The visual importance of the aesthetic nature of the joints, pegs, and complex wood-work symbolizes the structure of the house, and coincides with the principles taught in the Manual Training School of their youth. The structure of the house is externalized, or exploded, rather than hidden in decoration. Each element of the structure asserts itself. This extravagance of support takes its origins from the decorative bracketing of Japanese structures. Every piece of the structure is absolutely essential to the overall horizontality.
