thread_title: Fixes

message: Montgomery Hyde fell into error on several aspects of his judgment of Hastings' political career. He makes a howler in stating that Wallsend was held by a Liberal: Matt Simm was actually a member of the National Democratic Party, a right-wing Labour Party substitute which was generally supportive of the Lloyd George coalition. When planning the 1918 election the Coalition tried, if it could, to target its coupons at the candidate thought most suited to a constituency - so the fact that a ' Coalition Labour' candidate was preferred in Wallsend indicates that it was generally thought a good seat for Labour. Also the 1918 election was not the walkover seen in most other seats as Simm only scraped 50% against the third placed incumbent left-wing Liberal MP - but with Labour in a strong second. Hence Hyde was also in error in implying that Hastings achieved a surprising feat in winning in 1922. He was one of the most prominent Labour candidates, and was in a strong seat. Before the election The Times expected him to be elected.
I regret the loss of a brief note explaining that the sincerity of Hastings' commitment to the Labour Party was seriously doubted before he was elected, with many thinking he had chosen to get involved in left-wing politics purely because he had worked out that it might bring him high office. Whether true or not, people believed it, and it affected Hastings' reputation never more than when he bungled the Campbell case. Sam Blacketer (talk) 23:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Leuce (mythology)

message: Additional ancient sources for this myth would be appreciated. I could only find the note in Servius; this is all Smith's Dictionary gives. Servius identifies the abductor as Pluto, not Hades, consonant with the mythology of the various mysteries and their emphasis on love rather than violence. Robert Graves, as always, presents his own poetic interpretation as if it's gospel — a reminder to regard Graves as an original mythographer, not an academic source that seeks to present the material transparently.

message: Could someone in the know add something about what happens when the lease expires?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.114.226.175 (talk) 13:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In practice that could be a complicated question, but in principle its relatively straightforward. When a leasehold estate reaches the end of its term, the lease ceases to exist and the lessor (the "landlord" of the leasehold if you like) will have an immediate right to possession. Any subordinate leasehold estates will cease to exist. Of course this situation has been modified by legislation in many jurisdictions, but that's the common law view.

Talk:Tom Emanski

message: Question: What are the sources for this article? The middle name, IRS, and Aruba stuff could all be true, but it sounds far-fetched. And no one calls Emanski "the Father of Modern Baseball." Google "'Tom Emanski' 'Father of Modern Baseball'" and there are two results- this page, and one with links to Emanski and to Alexander Cartwright, who is credited as "The Father of Modern Baseball." Erik97 16:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: With a little hunting, I found additional resources. Emanski's three-peat claim seems a little dubious (different kids, who knows how many teams he coached - had to look under both "Fern Park" and "Baseball World"). I have found NO resources confirming the IRS story or about his wealth. If the article passes safely through deletion, we may want to remove this paragraph for lack of citations.

replies: text: I don't have a big problem with that. I was perhaps a little hasty in moving it.

Talk:Sensitivity (tests)

message: "In the traditional language of statistical hypothesis testing, the sensitivity of a test is called the statistical power of the test, although the word power in that context has a more general usage that is not applicable in the present context."
That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It looks as if sensitivity and statistical power are the same... OK, so "power" is somehow broader. But if the usage of "power" is "more general", why is it "not applicable" here? "General" seems to indicate broad applicability. --Hob Gadling 16:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: That change would certainly give a useful clue that the article is about France!

Certes (talk) 11:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I would suggest the merge too as this article is unreferenced and doesn't really have a clear purpose as a separate article. Take a look at American revolution#Factions: Patriots, Loyalists and Neutrals for an example of what I think this article/section should be. The Restoration article should have a similar structure as the American revolution article with this article filling that corresponding revolution sections role. Also why does this article have to match fr:Partis politiques sous la Restauration? That article appears to have the same problems in this one and we don't need to keep an article just because a corresponding one exists on another wiki. -Optigan13 (talk) 23:10, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Final revisions and submission is due on October 13, 2014. Below is the summary of the research I've completed so far that I believe will add to the content to the article. Feedback would be greatly appreciated before final submission. I am still seeking information on the early settlers and visitors to the Hocking Hills State Park area. I would also like to find out more about why this area was designated as a state park.
History:
The Adena culture is believed to be one of the first inhabitants of the area of Hocking Hills
1700s - Native American Tribes of Delaware, Wyandot, and Shawnee travelled through and lived in the area
1818 - Hocking County created in Ohio
1830s - Powder mill was built
1840 - Hocking Canal was completed allowing for more settlers to travel there
1924 - After local popular hiking areas were threatened by the accessibility of more traffic, the State Forest Law was passed in 1915 allowing the state to purchase the first parcel of land in Hocking Hills around Old Man's Cave
