Talk:Quasi-contract

message: I have heard this described as a legal remedy and also as an equitable remedy (from different sources).  Any idea which is more accurate?
: A quasi-contract is a legal remedy and can be traced to Moses v. Macferlan, 97 Eng. Rep. 676 (1760), when Lord Mansfield, sitting on the King's Bench (a common law court), gave restitution to the plaintiff after the chancery court denied his claim.  The origins of the term may have led to the confusion between law and equity, particularly from this quote: "the law implies a debt and gives this action, founded in the equity of the plaintiff's case, as if it were upon a contract ('quasi ex contractu' as the Roman law expresses it.)" --Whitenoise101 21:40, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Izzy Stradlin

message: Hello, dear amin of this page
I've got no idea if you have seen this lately but there have been one or two anonymous users on here who have started and caused edit wars over the topic ”Private Life”. Their actions are rude and invalid in my opinion and also in the opinions of others that have undone the anonymous users' edits more than once.
I put up trustworthy sources to the sentence that I wrote and their reason that it's ”irrelevant” that Izzy Stradlin' was married and then divored is not from important weight.
This is why I'd like to ask you to block log these anonymous users because that's all I can do.
Their IP-adress are 50.0.190.228 and 52.119.127.84
If you think that blocking them is not okay, I'd find it nice of you if you'd reply to this ”talk” topic and we'd find a solution together.
Thanks in advance !

I don't have a marriage date, but it seems that they began dating in 2006? It just seems if he is married that it would be on his wiki page.  So I wanted to add this.  Thanks.

thread_title: Pinnacles?

message: Why is the peak supposed to be called "Shengli Feng" in Chinese, what are the sources for that claim? It should be Tömür in Uighur, and that is the official name of the peak in China, or Tuōmù'ěr Fēng 托木尔峰 in Chinese. Any objections? —Babelfisch 13:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names 

message: This page got moved a while back from Peak Pobeda to Jengish Chokusu. The recent edits I reverted amounted to an attempt to move the page back without actually doing so. That is a major enough change that it would need to be discussed on the talk page first, so please do so if you believe that Peak Pobeda is the better name for the peak and the article. However, I believe that Jengish Chokusu is in fact the better name, because it is the official local name for the peak. 
Also included in the recent edit was the phrase "harsh pinnacle", mentioned above, and no, this is not an accurate term. A pinnacle is a particular kind of topographical feature, small and pointed, and cannot refer to a whole range or massif, except in a misleadingly metaphorical way. -- Spireguy 13:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Name again (revert of recent edit)

message: The first - it was discovered by russian speaking Soviet expedition, not by local kyrgyz tribes as it took place in Khan Tengri case. 
The second - it is well known as Pobeda Peak or Tomur (Chineese), but not other names. 
The third and the last - renaming of geographic features is highly political engagment action on the CIS area and it is usually conflict with common sense. 
Sorry for bad english :(

Talk:Poás Volcano

message: I've removed the following passage from the article. I've read through the references given (and the external links) and I can't see anything that confirms this. Some talk about "geyser-like" eruptions, but there's nothing about a geyser jet 4 miles high, for instance. If you want to add any of it back, please give a specific inline citation.
Some consider the Poas Volcano to be a cross between a geyser and a volcano, and scientists believe that it is a volcano gradually becoming a geyser. Therefore, The Poas Volcano is believed to be the biggest geyser crater in the world. On one occasion, it spewed a jet of steam four miles high, claiming the record for the highest geyser jet.
-- Avenue 10:34, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Any claim that the volcano ever shot a geyser four miles high would need a reliable citation to support it. Remarkable claims require very solid evidence. I have never heard of Poás performing like this. It is important also to distinguish between a cloud of steam and a geyser. Power station chimneys sometimes emit steam clouds to high altitudes, but they are not geysers. — O'Dea (talk) 19:22, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Ras Dashen

message: I do not think Ras Dejen should be regarded as the fourth or fifth highest in Africa. Apart from the highest points of Kilimanjaro, Kenya, Stanley and Meru, Mawenzi (Kilimanjaro) and several other peaks in the Ruwenzori (Stanley) range have at least 500m of topographic prominence and are therefore arguably mountains in their own right. Viewfinder 17:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Height ranking in Africa

message: The claim that Ras Dejen was first ascended in 1841 assumes that it had not been previously climbed by locals. I cannot provide a verifiable citation, but such an assumption seems rather unlikely. Unless there is any objection, I propose to add a neutral note on tis matter. Viewfinder 11:15, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I am changing the height to that given in 2005 by the Ethiopian mapping authority, which is supported to within 1m by a Franco-Italian survey, and is not incomptible with SRTM data. Viewfinder (talk) 11:08, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Height

message: "Ras" means "head" and transitively is an aristrocratic title, which may be bended, but likely not to "general" or "emperor". It also is used as a general part of the name of mountain tops. "Dejen" can mean "support" or "foundation". How does "Ras Dejen" mean "the general who fights in front of the Emperor"? This likely is better translated as "solid mountain" or "mighty mountain". Unfortunately I cannot read the citation. Who knows, maybe this comes from some flowery hymn to the countryside. Tomdo08 (talk) 22:22, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Ras Dejen (Dashen) fo the Semen mountains was named after Ras Dejena.  Ras Dashen is the corrupted name.  He was Tigray’s high ranking official during the reign of Emperor Yohannes.  Ras Hagos was a successor of Ras Dejena, then followed by Ras Gugsa Aray, and finally Ras Siyum Mengesha. West of this mountain across some vallyes around Adi Remets is another mountain with the same name, Dejana, without Ras.

Talk:San Francisco Peaks

message: Hi all!
I recently added a whole bunch of indigenous names to the beginning of the article. It got me thinking that it may be useful to add an /*Etymology*/ section--there's certainly a lot going on with the names, both those that are indigenous and those that are English/Spanish (for example: Spaniard explorers originally called the peaks Sierra sin Agua before friars named it Sierra de San Francisco). I may go about and start the section myself, but I'd really appreciate some help/pointers/tips with it if anyone is interested (I've never written a section before!). Do let me know.

Talk:San Jacinto Peak

message: I deleted the part of the opening sentence saying "sheerest in North America". First, that implies it is immensely steep, which it is not, as compared to, e.g. El Capitan. Second, it's not even close to the biggest face in all of North America (compare Mount McKinley/Denali), and it is not quite the biggest in the contiguous US (compare Mount Rainier). Now, it may be true that Rainier is the only other place where you can get more than 10,000 feet in 7 miles, and if you declare that not to count as an "escarpment" (since it's volcanic), then the photo caption could perhaps be changed back. But it would need a careful reference. -- Spireguy 02:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The article currently says, "Naturalist John Muir wrote of San Jacinto Peak, "The view from San Jacinto is the most sublime spectacle to be found anywhere on this earth!"Heald, Weldon F. (July, 1963) "The Lordly San Jacintos," in Westways. The account of Muir visiting Mt. San Jacinto appeared first in Frederick, K. P. (1926) Legends and History of the San Jacinto Mountains. Long Beach, CA." This statement may not be accurate. In The San Jacintos, a book I have, the authors write about the quote (page 195, footnote 1), "We have been unable to verify that John Muir ever climbed San Jacinto Peak. He visited Thomas Ranch with the National Forest Commission in 1896, but stayed only one day and did not approach the mountain." Chisme (talk) 00:43, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:San Gorgonio Mountain

message: I came here hoping to clear up a discrepancy on the mountain itself: at the crash site of the C47 along the Fish Creek route to the summit, there are TWO plaques cemented nearly side by side to the rock, one dating the crash to Dec. 1, 1952 and the other to Dec. 1, 1953. The sources in the two footnotes here both say 1952, but the text of the article says 1953. Browsing the Internet, I find references to both dates.

He was also born in Dinwiddie County to Hannah Ravenscroft Pythress Claiborne and her second husband Burnell Claiborne and moved to Brunswick County by 1773, where he captained the county militia and began representing the the HOuse of Delegates in 1783, and then was a state senator for a term that began in 1789, but ended slightly early because of his election to the U.S. House of Representatives representing the 8th Congressional district, then the 17th after redistricting. He married Mary Clayton in Dinwiddie County and had seven sons before she died in 1802, including his successor as congressmen John Claiborne and Thomas Claiborne (1780=1856) of Tennessee, and son Augustine Claiborne served in the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1829-1830.
