Category talk:Mayors of places in England

message: At the moment we have mixed together here:
* mayors who were elected or appointed and had some leadership role a century ago; 
* the usual ceremonial mayors elected by councillors from among their number; and
* the latest crop of directly-elected executive mayors
Is there a way we can separate them. I think the third set should be easy to do, but I am not clear of the distinctions between the first two (e.g. Jabez Balfour was mayor of Croydon but not a councillor there, as far as I know, so what was his status?) Mtiedemann 09:57, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see the comment above was made three years ago, with no replies. As time goes by this appears to be becoming a little more urgent. "The latest crop" is becoming more powerful both directly (a directly-elected mayor has more power over their area, be it a city, borough or whatever, than does an MP) and indirectly in terms of influencing or reflecting voting patterns (see Peter Davies, for example). Mtiedemann's first category is problematic; what does "some leadership role" mean? but it appears to me that WP does need to draw a distinction between modern-day directly-elected mayors with executive powers and purely ceremonial mayors (many of whom seem to serve as Mayor as a result of Buggins's turn). Is there a Wikiproject which might have some interest here? Tonywalton Talk 00:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Amsterdam Ordnance Datum

message: The concept of the equatorial bulge means that earth bulges arount the equator. As a paradox, it seems that the conequences are greater the farter away one is from the equator. Unless I am wrong, if Germany uses the standard as in Amsterdam, it will only mean that the farter south, the taller the altitude. That would be even if Germany was shaped like a pancake. Could someone please confirm or disconfirm a such notion?(82.134.28.194 (talk) 06:44, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Equatorial bulge thingy 

message: This sentence: "He found that the water level at an average summer flood in the sea arm (when the water level reaches its maximum, not counting storms) was about the same as the level on the other side of the seadike, plus the margin of 9 feet and 5 inches." appears to read that at average summer flood, the water level in the Ij [the sea arm, also sea inlet below] was 9 ft 5 inches higher than in the Amsterdam canals.
This following sentence: "The waterlevel in the canals of Amsterdam—which is quite constant—called Amsterdam Peil (AP), equaled the level at summer flood at sea in the sea-inlet, which changes throughout the year."  seems to contradict that.
Is this a translation problem, or should this article be pulled?  It really says little about NAP.

message: Based on the 1965 single "at the age of 16", I had a look through the English birth registers for 1948/1949 but couldn't find Beverley Kutner. Bluewave 11:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All looks convincing. I've also seen a reproduction (somewhere on the web!) of a poster from 1965, advertising a folkclub which was headlining the Levee Breakers (inc Beverley). I wasn't really questioning your dates (unless she was much older/younger than the quoted 16), just surprised not being able to track down her birth. There was another Kutner (male) born in Coventry in 1950 (maybe a brother) but I couldn't see a likely candidate for Beverley in earlier years (even a second name B). Of course she could have been born abroad (or even Scotland!). Just wondered if you (or anyone) had any other clues. Bluewave 09:36, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I had a look at earlier years and there was a Maureen B Kutner born in Meriden in 1947. Her mother's maiden name was the same as that of Maurice Kutner who was born in Coventry in 1950, so it looks like this was a family that moved to Coventry between 47 and 50. It is highly likely that Maureen B is the person we know as Beverley, but this is probably not good enough evidence for the article.

Another option is to have one place where the movable track segment can be turned in the muddle of a traverser. A photo of such a design from Germany can be found at http://www.rbd-breslau.de/dso-2011/schiebebuehne-003.jpg.

message: Metra's Rock Island District still has a very old transfer table in very active use at its 47th/48th/49th Streets shops, where the table serves the coach shop that houses Metra's active and successful in-house coach-rebuilding program. The coach shop and transfer table are just SW of the locomotive shop (formerly colloquially known as "Rocket House"). I've seen the transfer table both in person and in a recent Google Maps aerial photo - https://www.google.com/maps/search/S+Wentworth+Ave+%26+48TH+STREETChicago,+IL+60609/@41.8072461,-87.6304167,97m/data=!3m1!1e3 . However, I cannot find a good recent citation, nor a recent up-close photo.  But, see also https://industrialscenery.blogspot.com/2016/01/rock-islands-47th-street-yard-rocket.html . In 2018, Metra "broke ground" on a project to redo much of the 47th/etc. facility; Metra's recent descriptions of the of the project in its Program reports leave ambiguous whether the transfer table is to be rebuilt.

message: Basically the investigation found that Männil did not participate in any killings. He interrogated some people, but no more. In no case can be shown that Männil knew what could happen to political prisoners. It is notable that the 6 interrogations which were held as most promising material against Männil were held when German army has been in Tallinn for only 6 days. Authorities say that there is evidence that Männil was not aware of German anti-jewish campaign. Investigators met with all people alive who knew Männil at the time and some of them did not confirm what they said on 40's. The saying goes that many things were said in wartime because of feuds between Estonian expatriate factions.

Both sentences are true, but the inference "So those Linux distributions include Linux Libertine and Linux Biolinum" is false.

replies: text: Because not all ship class names are italicised. Style guidelines (such as Wikipedia's own Manual of Style guidelines for ship-related articles) state that classes are only italicised where the class name is taken from/shared with the first ship of the class: ship names are generally italicised, and the convention is copied over when the name is reused for the class. In other cases, where the class name is descriptive (i.e. River class frigates are named after rivers, instead of a HMAS River) or part of a letter-number sequence (the E class submarines came after the D class) the class name is not italicised. -- saberwyn 01:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
