message: The statement Although it was not the first motor race to be called a 'Grand Prix' (a smaller race, the Pau Grand Prix, had been held in 1901), the 1906 race .... is not correct, and needs to be either fixed or explained properly, especially if this article is under review. The Pau Grand Prix was first held in 1933. The footnotes explain that the 1901 'Pau Grand Prix' is a mistranslation by Anglophone sources that is in danger of becoming normalised through repetition (and Wiki). The footnotes refer to contemporaneous French magazine sources (La France Automobile) and French publications (L’Histoire de l’Automobile/Paris 1907), which differentiate between the event which was the Circuit du Sud-Ouest and the 'Big Prize' (the Grand Prix de Pau) which was awarded for the Heavy class. Those sources give zero credence to Pau actually being a Grand Prix. Thus 1906 Sarthe was the first motoring event to be called a grand prix. Chienlit (talk) 19:00, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm a little confused why the percentages of population growth are presented. It seems to suggest information, but it's mostly misinformation as the time spans between the data points are wildly different. A 20% increase over 6 years (2001-2007; 3.09% per year) is actually much steeper than the 533.5% over 95 year (1.96% per year). Also the significance of the percentages is way too precise (I assume 40,000 and 25,000 are mostly estimates with a fair amount of inaccuracy). 
Therefore, I'd suggest: 
# Normalize the percentages to year-over-year or get rid of them altogether. (the template already offers this option of per annum growth rate)
# If we keep percentages, round them at least to whole percentages. Don't keep decimals. 
If there's no objection, I'll make the change. effeietsanders 17:48, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Today? 

message: In every instance I've ever heard the phrase "drumhead" used in reference to a trial, it's been much more of a reference to its usage in Star Trek, which is something of a euphemism for a "kangaroo court", or a "show trial" of sorts with a clear miscarriage of due process and complete lack of consideration for justice, and all by design: the kind of "trial" you would expect after a proverbial "witch hunt". 
Does anybody else have experience with the colloquial usage of the phrase "drumhead trial"? Does anybody know of any "reliable sources" that can verify this usage? Its evolution seems to be best described here, though I'll admit this is probably NOT a "reliable source", and I'm including it here only because it does a good job explaining what I'm talking about so the "talk" can understand.

message: @TCMallard, what's your view on the criteria for including handicap races? You've removed some races today which have articles linked, with no clear reason for removing them. Bcp67 (talk) 18:34, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @Bcp67 how I work it out is I add a race that is worth £75,000 or more and is a class 2 race that is not a consolation race. I also add ones that are £50,000 or more and are historical and/or that course's feature race of the season e.g. the Thirsk Hunt Cup. TCMallard (talk) 15:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the reply, and that sounds a reasonable criteria - I had a feeling that Class 2 races were a sort of cut-off for you. I think it's worth stating that criteria the top of the handicap races section itself although the historical part is subjective to an extent - no doubt something like the Cambridgeshire is clearly historical but there's a grey area for other races . Personally I'd also include any race that has a wikipedia article itself, such as the Great Metropolitan which had a good history at one time but has sunk in value and prestige. Do you think its worth adding columns for the Class and value in K to the non-pattern race sections? --Bcp67 (talk) 15:38, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: What about the other sections? I can see, for example, the Wood Ditton in the conditions race section, which is a Class 2 worth only £10K but is a race with a bit of history to it. Bcp67 (talk) 16:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: @Bcp67 things like the Wood Ditton and the Brocklesby are more for historical merit so yes, perhaps the conditions section should also have class and prize money attached as such as the Queen Alexandra is very different to the Winter Derby Trial in stature but this isn't obvious TCMallard (talk) 17:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you think we should even have the Winter Derby Trial? To be honest I added it, but seeing it as a 20K race with no great history, I'm not sure now. There was a Listed Winter Derby Trial at Lingfield but that's now become the Tandridge Stakes. Bcp67 (talk) 19:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

The link they like to add to this article is angelfire com/ma/ramakrishna/dakshineswar html Some Photos of Dakshineswar.

I'm not bothered if you restore the article to the jazz project, but please add some sourced information to support his being a jazz musician (not just someone who was influenced by jazz or occasionally played in jazz bands) to justify the inclusion.

I have the Season 2 box set and the booklet's summary of the episode says "A quantum surge from the transwarp explosion showers radiation down upon the planet, killing Terrorsaur and Scorponok and reconfiguring most of the Cybertronians' bodies and transformation sequences." Although if what the sourcebook says is true then he would have likely been destroyed when Tigerhawk blew up the Predacon base in the same episode where Tarantulas is killed. 24.65.123.9 (talk) 03:51, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
