Talk:Blue Lagoon Island

message: Article needs extensive updating:
* Needs section about current attractions. Sounds like there's a dolphin park on the island.
* History section needs editing to present the info more consicely
* Need geograhic information on the island
* Current status of the island? It doesn't sound like it's privately owned any more from looking online. Is it owned by the Bahamas?
* What is this island's legal name?
* Needs extensive sourcing.
* Tone edits needed.

thread_title:  Nickname? 

message: The name `Speedy' was used for a live steam model based on this class in a book by `LBSC' - I have never heard that it was used a nickname by railway workers. Locomotive nicknames concocted by enthusiasts after locomotives were withdrawn from service should surely not be in Wikipedia articles.  Barney Bruchstein (talk) 22:14, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not in the article, which hasn't been edited since 11 December 2012,‎ and that was a bot edit: the last proper edit was 26 September 2012‎. Did you see this on a different article, but have come to this talk page by mistake? --Redrose64 (talk) 22:46, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  LBSC's own book is title Speedy, GW 0-6-0 tank engine in 5 inch Gauge., so we have a source for this being GWR, and this is the only similar engine class. Although book publication was later, the original magazine articles were 1950.Andy Dingley (talk) 08:47, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: But that surely is the nickname given to the model, presumably by the book's author. With the phrase "... should surely not be in Wikipedia articles", Barney Bruchstein appears to be objecting to an assertion in a Wikipedia article. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:54, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: This site, Don Ashton, discusses the valve gear of the 1500s and the "Speedy" model.

Talk:John Arcesi

message: I have been updating the article on Arcesia for the past couple of weeks, for, as during his lifetime, he had the distinction of being one of the most misunderstood and maligned personalities in his profession and personal life...In 1978, after studying with him and reviewing his work, he assigned to me the rights to his intellectual properties to do with as I will. Recently I have decided to begin preparing these various works, i.e., recordings, books, songs etc. for public release and distribution. The works forthcoming should be, to say the least, interesting and controversial as well as educational and entertaining.....More later, Michael F. McCartney....

thread_title:  Effectiveness of INA 

message: Hi, I deleted the INA jubilation image for two reasons. First there is already an image of Fujiwara and Mohan Singh, which I feel is more than adequate in depicting the significance that Mohan Singh holds in the INA story. Secondly, the image itself is pretty big, unsightly in the paragraph and does little to add to the article.It is also likely a staged photograph, as there is no record when where and how this image was taken. I am not aware of any joint INA-IJA operations or battles that ended in a victory or captured in photo.

Talk:Minister for Science (Canada)

message: A Minister styled as Minister of State is a legally a full member of cabinet. The only difference is that their ministry is created by proclamation or commission according to the Ministries and Ministers of State Act rather than by particular statute (e.g. Department of Justice Act). The Parliament has not created a new Department of Science by statute or proclamation under the Ministries and Ministers of State Act, however the Governor-in-Council can proclaim the Ministers with whatever name is desired by the Prime Minister and Cabinet. Therefore it appear to be inaccurate to describe the current Minister's position as elevated rather than just renamed until Parliament has passed a resolution or statute saying otherwise.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.36.189.156 (talk) 03:20, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Should the material in this article be merged into another article? This page used to redirect to Free Union, Virginia. I have undone the redirection because I have done a search for Free Union in Wikipedia and I encounter Free Union, Virginia when I really wanted information about a union between two individuals that lacks any publicly recognized bond.

People may have been inspired to create lists of 366 plants (as appears to be the case here), but these proposals are not traditionally recognized and unlikely to be notable.
This particular list of 366 plants is completely arbitrary. Flowers are more or less randomly associated with days. There are frequent instances of 5-10 day periods where plants were assigned in alphabetical order. The various 12 flower list take seasonality into consideration; flowers are associated with a month in which they are likely to be blooming. Seasonality is not considered here and flowers are listed for dates when they are unlikely to be available. The list is supposed to apply to Europe and America, but there are plants exclusive to one continent. Vandalization has led to incorrect month lengths.Plantdrew (talk) 01:16, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
