message: I commented out from the article the observation that 202 is the smallest positive integer without its own Wikipedia article. I don't think self-referentiality is appropriate for this article. CompositeFan 17:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: if a news story or commentary in a major magazine etc mentions self referentiality in WP, or the interest in WP trivia that cant make it into WP due to WP's rules for inclusion, then we can include it, even write an article about it. and if a reliable source comments on the recursive nature of this phenomenon, we can mention it here as well. if we're lucky, with help from, say, Wired magazine (anyone there reading this?), we can attempt an infinite recursion, though i guess that would require waiting for the Big Crunch and infinite compression of time/space to see if we succeeded. maybe the alien race from the future which gave us quantum mechanics could tell us how far this goes into the future.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 15:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:National City Lines

message: It would be nice to add the Streetcars that were bought out by National.
NATIONAL CITY LINES DID NOT DIRECTLY OWN THE PACIFIC ELECTRIC. They did own the Los Angeles Railway Company which ran the city streetcars.  Another conglomerate, Metropolitan coach lines, took over the Pacific Electric Lines.  This group owned the PE passenger lines from 1953 until 1958.  At that time, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority took over what remained of both systems.  The LAMTA ended the Pacific Electric Service in 1961 and the remainder of the Los Angeles Railway Company lines were discontinued in 1963.  National City Lines was out of the transit business in Los Angeles by 1958.  They did not make the final decision to end service.  The final decision was made by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority. wcheger St. Louis

thread_title:  Where are the facts about NCL? 

message: I have just reworked the article to remove what I consider to be bias and some inaccuracies. In particular:
*I don't think that 'front company' is the appropriate description for the organisation. For sure they were convicted of a crime later but so are many other companies and that in itself is not evidence for such a description in the first sentence of the lead. I have replaced it with 'controversial company'.
*I think the section titled '1949 Conspiracy conviction' again gives too sinister a message. I have replaced it with 'Court case and conviction 1947-1949'
*I have added more detail about the court case and a 'main' link to the Great American streetcar scandal article.
*I have removed a single 'further reading' suggestion from the references section - there is a more comprehensive and balanced list of suggestions at the end of the Great American streetcar scandal article.

Talk:Clock Tower

message: The St. Stephen's Tower / Clock Tower confusion is a personal bugbear. I originally investigated the name of the tower which houses Big Ben, following a bet with a friend of mine. After contacting the Palace of Westminster, I discovered that no-one at the Palace (including the staff that work in the clock tower itself) refer to it as St. Stephen's Tower, and that it is simply referred to as The Clock Tower. This is reflected on the UK Parliament website .
There are three towers in the Palace of Westminster - The Clock Tower to the north, Victoria Tower to the south, and the Central Tower above the central corridor between the House of Lords and House of Commons. - MykReeve 01:09, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: Clock Tower with two caps can safely redirect to Big Ben; the problem otherwise lies in the articles that link to clock tower (in general) using both caps. The same issue happens with Quantum Leap, the TV series and quantum leap the physical phenomenon.

Talk:Tobruk

message: I've made some corrections and changes to this section. Firstly, Italy invaded Egypt in September 1940, not in November. Secondly, Italy didn't invade Greece until October - it was Albania it had attacked earlier. I made a change to the section on the Allies' counter-attack to clarify that they went well beyond Tobruk - the Italians retreated all the way to El Agheila. Similarly, I clarified the extent of Rommel's advance: he, in turn, went beyond Tobruk, and got as far as Sollum. Finally, the Italian "invasion" of France only got as far as Menton and they only occupied some border areas, so I changed the wording from "occupied the south of France" to "occupied part of the south of France".

Talk:Reactions to McCarthyism

message: Please don't blank this article. It might be improved, probably ought to have been integrated into McCarthyism or Red Scare but the reaction to McCarthyism is real enough as is the polarizing effect (which you are exhibiting). Fred Bauder 06:10, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: This is better than before, but there is still too much vagueness.  If "McCarthy was right" as Ann Coulter says, WHAT was he right about?  Did the Eastern Bloc spy on the West like the West spied on the East?  Of course, and it seems the names of some of those heretofore anonymous spies have come out with the archive leaks.  These have not been the major debates though.  Probably the major debate is - was Alger Hiss guilty?   Certainly the most ink has been spilled over this issue.  This leads into the second most important one - were any other major Democrats Soviet agents?  After the question of whether high level Democrats were Soviet spies is the CPUSA - was it autonomous, did it secretly received money from the USSR, did it spy for the USSR, were the Rosenbergs guilty and so forth.  Were the communists, "fellow travellers", socialists, trade unionists and liberals pulled in front of HUAC Soviet spies?  Or were they just part of a witchhunt against the left?  What exactly does Venona  prove or give evidence of of these charges?  If the Democrats (like Hiss) or the CPUSA are going to have mud thrown at them, I want it to be specific.  Especially stuff like this - "But the records [...] show that [...] some of the apparently paranoid charges leveled by McCarthy and other anti-communists about Soviet infiltration of U.S. institutions were essentially true."  What records?  McCarthy called the the Democratic presidency from 1932-1952 "twenty years of treason".  That is a pretty high standard to have to measure up to, and half a century later, if this is all there is (with some of the Venona stuff pointing to an exoneration of Ethel Rosenberg and Alger Hiss), it seems to expose the Red Scare for what it was in an even more obvious manner. -- JohnWoolsey 09:35, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Does this page serve any function other than as a dumping ground for POV texts from Red Scare?  Actual, relevant, NPOV material about actual reactions to McCarthyism should go to McCarthyism.  Discussion about the causes of anti-communist paranoia, and whether or not the Russians really were coming, ought to go over to Anti-communism or some more appropriate page.  For historical revisionism, e.g. claiming that McCarthy was right and a giant communist comspiracy was deeply rooted in the State Department and the White House, I'd advise going to the USENET or talk radio.  -- Diderot 11:22, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
