Talk:Office of Defense Mobilization

message: "In all, 19 mobilization agencies were eventually created within ODM to control every aspect of the American economy."
The last phrase of that sentence is a HUGE claim, highlighted in the DYK. This huge claim is insufficiently backed up in the article with only by a single unlinked magazine reference that cannot be easily checked. Is this article saying that in 1952, a private individual who wanted to sell their car to another individual, or apply for a new job, or move into a new apartment etc etc etc or if a toothpaste company wanted to increase their main toothpaste R&D budget, or if a shoe store wanted to have a summer sale, or if a religious group wanted to build a new church etc etc etc... that all these activities would need official permits and oversight from the ODM? Really? Every or Almost Every aspect of the economy? This might be the shocking truth, but the article hardly proves it with one unlinked reference that is difficult to evaluate as well as little or no explanation of that sweeping phrase. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.111.80.57 (talk • contribs) 11:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thankfully, good scholarly journals don't make their articles available for free; they charge money to view their articles, so that they can maintain high standards.  So the supposed "missing link" is a good thing.  However, a reference is supplied.  The journal is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal.  And, as the article points out, even small aspects of the economy could be regulated by ODM.  CBS, for example, had only a handful of scientists working on color television.  But ODM almost ordered CBS to prevent the scientists from working on color TV because government officials believed they were urgently needed on other projects.  Raw steel, for example, could not be sold anywhere in the U.S. by anyone, unless they had a permit from ODM. Private homes could not be built if they exceeded government limits on the use of wood, electrical wire, metal fixtures, glass, insulation or other common materials, and permits had to be obtained from ODM before a home could be planned, much less built (for example, see "Some Items Exempt for New Buildings," New York Times, September 2, 1951; "Builders and contractors need include the weights of only a limited number of commonly used products to determine whether a proposed home or other building can be completed under the National Production Authority's selfallotment plan..."). You may not believe the claim, but the claim is referenced.  I would suggest that if you think the claim is disputed, then you should provide a reference which does disputes it rather than just say you don't believe it. - 1965Tim 00:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Berkshire East Ski Resort

message: Hello all-
We need to clarify the true vertical drop. I created a new discussion, as the other one was from 2008 and some of the comments said in that discussion led to bans- overall, not a discussion to go back to. 
However, the vertical drop of Berkshire East is still in question (as of recently). The resort advertises a vertical drop of 1,180. However, Google’s topographic maps say differently.
First measured vertical drop: From the parking lot to the very top of Mt. Institute (in theory, the very most one could ski):  950 feet. 
Second measured vertical drop: From the base of the first lift to the top of the highest lift (most lift-served vertical): 920 feet. 
Third measured vertical drop: From the base of the main lift (quad) to the summit of the main lift: 900 feet.
However, while this is not an advertisement, Berkshire East is competing with many larger ski areas in New England, and while the 1,180ft they advertise may add 200 feet, they have advertised that for many years, and changing that on Wikipedia may confuse many people. Wikipedia NOT here for misleading people, however, most people who read this Wikipedia page may be confused if the vertical drop goes against what Berkshire East says.
A previous edit by another user changed the vertical drop to 885 feet, which is less than any of the measured vertical drop. 
Overall, I will be changing the vertical back to 1,180ft, as to not confuse anybody. BUT- in the “Terrain” section, I will put “950 feet of non- inflated vertical drop.” That way, those who are on the page to learn more than just the quick facts of Berkshire East will learn the true vertical.

Talk:Mount Brighton

message: Proposed move at WP:RM from "Mt. Brighton" to "Mount Brighton". The convention on Wikipedia is to always expand "Mt." to "Mount" in article titles (see here). One could argue that the article describes a ski resort rather than a mountain (actually an artificially created hill). But I think the convention can still apply here: it's close enough to a mountain, and ski resorts are generally associated with them. The Mt. Brighton website mostly uses "Mt. Brighton", but presumably most people write "Mt." as an abbreviation for "Mount", so I don't think that WP:COMMONNAME is an issue. Comments welcomed.
