Talk:Duffel

message: Were duffel bags ever made from duffel?
My dictionary says that they are cylindrical canvas drawstring bags of twentieth century American origin, with the name deriving from the American use of duffel to mean sporting or camping equipment.
Does anybody have evidence of bags that were actually made from duffel to disprove this?
Incidentally, Joe Pesci's minorpiece '8 Heads in a Duffel Bag' brought it to the attention of us Brits that in America the word can now also refer to a holdall, which we were told you called a carryall. Surely a significant proportion of the British audience went to see this film just to see how eight heads would fit in a cylindrical canvas drawstring bag.

The total area is 228.71 km² which gives a population density of 70,042 inhabitants per km². The total population can't be true, since the entire country hasn't even got that many people and the population density makes me wonder how high people are stacked.

Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Clifton

message: From Matt-rex. Agree, but the other one should be removed as out of date.
:Hi there, Matt-rex. First of all, to start a new discussion on a talk page, click the plus sign. After you've written what you want to say, sign it with four tildes (~~~~). For more information, see Help:Talk page. As for the articles, there is no need to delete anything in this case. If the article Diocese of Clifton were deleted, then whenever someone typed in "Diocese of Clifton" in the search box, they would get a message saying that no article by that name was found, and an invitation to create one. That's not what we want. Instead, the text of Diocese of Clifton should be replaced with #redirect Clifton Diocese, which creates a redirect to this article. That way, when people type in "Diocese of Clifton", they'll end up here. —Keenan Pepper 20:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article situation 

message: I have two suggestions to make about this article:
1) the separate article entitled Bishop of Clifton should be merged into this article; it would be natural to include a list of bishops in an article about the diocese; and
2) the section about the current incumbent bishop is biographical in nature and not relevant to an article about the diocese; it should be removed to a new article about the man.
Views?

replies: text: In most other cases ther is a separate article for Bishop of and Dicoese of - the list can get pretty long after all.  Yes a separate article realy should be created for the current incumbent - there seems to be reasonable agreement that a Diocesan Bishop of the major episcopal churches is ex officio notable - it would however require sourcing.

Talk:Drum (South African magazine)

message: It's not clear from the publisher's website that this is supposed to be the successor to the very influential Drum magazine of the 1950-1960's. It seems like it, though-the Old Drum was sold to Naspers in the 80's. Once the magazine's website is complete, it should be more obvious, hopefully.
The earlier Drum needs an entry here (assuming this is the successor). Published or edited by Jim Bailey, only (I think) influential magazine aimed at a black audience from that period of South Africa, exposés and Sophiatown urban life by Mr Drum Henry Nxumalo, photo's by [Jürgen Schadeberg]... A film has even been made about it (Drum (2004 film). Currently I don't have the resources to put together an article-if anyone does, something here would be fantastic.

message: I have listened to several recordings by the Leroy Mercer character and I don't see much comparison except they both use a telephone.  Leroy Mercer's tone on these calls is condescending to the person being called while Roy D. Mercer's tone is one of over-the-top anger.  Where Leroy Mercer belittles his victims and rarely let's them in on the "joke", Roy D. Mercer is mainly threatening -- but always letting the victim know what's going on.
I was around when Roy D. Mercer first started, and I know for a fact that Phil Stone and Brent Douglas created Roy and his family out of their common experiences with their families and friends in Oklahoma.
