Talk:Chris Inglis

message: Reads like a resume. I assume that it's not the editors fault, that he's just had such a humdrum career that nothing he's done, either good or bad, has ever lead a journalist to give him any serious scrutiny? So the only mentions he gets are one liners about getting a new position here or there. Oh, well. I was hoping to fit this in somewhere, but I don't see how. I'll just leave it here in case he decides to make a career out of making a fool of himself in the press.
'John “Chris” Inglis, former NSA deputy director, said companies who participated in the agency’s data collection activities deserved the nation’s thanks and respect.
“All the companies that were maligned were simply following the rule of law,” he said. “We need to give them some credit for doing the right thing.”'
Article then goes on to explain how getting some of these companies to 'do the right thing' required the NSA to get our secret legal system, FISC, to threaten them with economic ruin. 66.27.174.138 (talk) 11:56, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:John C. Metzler Jr.

message: Section 2 states Mr. Metzler's tenure at ANC began in 1991, but section 2.4 says he performed tasks related to The Unknown Soldier Tomb repair in 1989. Clarification is needed for the timeline or capacity in which Mr. Metzler acted. 
Section 2: "Metzler was appointed Superintendent of Arlington National Cemetery in January 1991, replacing Costanzo."
Section 2.4: "The Tomb underwent repairs in 1933, 1975, and 1989 (the latter two under Metzler's tenture as Superintendent)."
Section 2.4: "Metzler ordered a detailed inspection of the monument by the firm of Oehrlein and Associates in 1989, which produced a report in 1990."

Talk:Nagykovácsi

message: I undid the recent edit because the administrative distinction made in Hungary between ‘village’ and ‘town’ does not correspond with the somewhat vague distinction we make in English between the two terms. 
Nagykovácsi feels like a very small town, rather than a ‘village’ in the sense we use the word in English. While the official population according to the annual digest produced by the local council in December 2007 is 6,128, the real population has certainly reached more than 10,000 as this very wealthy little town has many properties owned as second residences and consequently many residents living here on a semi-permanent basis. This very point about the population of Nagykovácsi was made on local radio in Hungary earlier this year. To force this little town into the category ‘village’ simply because of the Hungarian language translation of the word ‘village’ is an odd thing to do, sounds strange in English and gives an entirely false impression. 
Please try saying in English, ‘I live in a village which has a population of about 10,000 and an area of more than 5 square miles’. 
Phew, that’s some village and the sentence has a very odd ring to English ears, indeed. As a comparison, please look up the Wikipedia entry for Budleigh Salterton. I quote, “Budleigh Salterton is a small town on the south coast of Devon, England…”
Please note Budleigh Salterton has a population of 4,805.
I notice the editor who made the recent changes has scattered the term ‘Budapest Metropolitan Area’ all over many entries in Wikipedia. While a case could be made for including an English translation of any proper name alongside the proper name in any entry, the wholesale deletion of a proper name and direct substitution by its English equivalent is somewhat specious and in my view a practice which should not be followed.

Talk:Island of Mozambique

message: There seems to be nothing but utter confusion on Wikipedia as to this island's population. The English Wikipedia says it's 14000, but the Afrikaans article says 54315, as does the German one, whereas the Japanese and Swedish articles seem to agree with the English one. The Lithuanian and Polish articles seem to give a figure of 42200, and the Swahili and Finnish 60000, while the Portuguese article says 42407. The French and Romanian articles give no hint.
So, what is the Island's true population?
Whatever the answer is, I have come across an article on the 'Net, here — from the People's Daily of all sources — saying that Mozambique is set to hold a census this month. If they post detailed results online, perhaps that will yield a definitive answer. Keep watching!
Kelisi 02:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Kelisi, very good comparative work! The reason for such confusion might be due to the fact that when people talk about the "Island of Mozambique" they are talking about different things. The island proper is very small, 1 sq. km only and because of the civil war it is extremely overcrowded (the island was a safe haven). According to the 1997 census the population of the island proper was 14,889 inhabitants, almost 15,000 per sq. km! But in administrative terms the "City of the Island of Mozambique", before a district, now a municipality, also includes a much larger continental part, the Administrative Post of Lumbo, which has an area of 225 sq. km and had a population of 27,518. Together the City had a population of 42,407. Who knows what the population is today. Actually we should know very soon. The 2007 population census ends here tomorrow and the first provisional data should be available in November. Keep the good work! Teixant 22:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:John Christian (Deemster)

message: I notice in the entry under Sir William Hillary that his son Sir Augustus Hillary married Susan Curwen Christian, the eldest daughter of John Christian of Ewanrigg or Unnerigg Hall, Cumberland in 1829.  The John Christian link goes to this page, though this biography makes no mention of Ewanrigg, the Christian Family home in Cumberland.  
Sir William Hillary settled in the Isle of Man at Fort Anne in 1808 and died in 1847. In 1823, John Christian moved back to the Isle of Man and also lived in Fort Anne.  It may simply be that John Christian bought the house of his daughter's father-in-law, though it would be interesting to join up these connections and include it in the biographies of these two men prominent in Manx history. 
I am also guessing that the "...ancestral home in Lezayre." is the Christian Manx family home, Milntown.

Talk:John Christopher Smith

message: This article is unsourced and inaccurate. JCS senior was summoned from Germany to be Handel's first copyist in London in 1716. He eventually fell out of favour with Handel and his son, the subject of this article, became Handel's copyist, musical assistant and amanuensis in his later years when blindness prevented Handel from conducting or writing. Handel left his collection of instruments to the Smith family, although rewritings of his will make it unclear whether he intended them to go to the father or the son. There is a German composer :de:Johann Christoph Schmidt described on the German wikipedia, so the use of German names should be clarified. The statement about Handel possibly teaching JCS is absurd, since they worked extremely closely together. There are plenty of scholarly articles and books available on this topic, for example the biography of Maria Van Til. Mathsci (talk) 09:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: North Link vs University Link

message: The article as currently written introduces confusion about North Link. Technically speaking, North Link is only the first three stations in this article. The additional stations are part of the North Corridor HCT Project, approved via ST2. Though it's almost certain to be a Link extension, it's not labeled as such in Sound Transit documents and won't be unless and until the federal government approves light rail in the corridor. 
This article should be changed to stress those differences. I might give it a try. We should also consider whether the North Corridor HCT project needs its own page at least until light rail is approved and this is incorporated as a North Link extension. The station pages for Everett and Lynnwood would also have to be revised. Llachglin (talk) 19:44, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, and it looks like somebody just changed it. I added in that the Northgate-Lynnwood section is called North Corridor HCT.

Talk:Aerial Consolidated Transport

message: The Canberra Times ran a double spread on A.C.T. yesterday, marking 50 years of operations. The past year has been a volatile one, mainly due to heavy public criticism of delays, exacerbated by the introduction of a flawed voice recognition system which directly caused the breakaway of many owners and drivers to form Cabxpress. However, the taxi industry as a whole remains strongly criticised. There are a maximum of 280 cabs on the road, and often there is a queue of two or three hundred passengers waiting for a cab at the airport. Delays are especially noticable during parliamentary sittings. --Pete 03:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:USS Mizar (AF-12)

message: Co-mingling of a "class" article with a ship article is not normal practice. In addition there appears to be no formal Navy designation of the ships as a "class" in the usual sense. The fact they were all built to a common commercial design, with small variations allowed by the two builders, and formed a company designated class made them in effect a class functioning within the Navy's needs, i.e., a group with common maintenance, parts, equipment and functional parameters. The "class" portion should probably be split from the Navy's lead ship — though not for the actual "class" as defined for the company — and expanded a bit for links from the other ships of the group. Edits in that section are intended to facilitate such a split. Palmeira (talk) 15:59, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
