Ewa Beach
user:BSNRaheim and an anon have been posting an article about Our Lady of Perpetual help all over the place, including Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Ewa Beach. I messed things up by chosing that article as the one to move and, since I am not an admin, I cannot tidy it thing in the strictly correct way. I have restored the ... Ewa beach article so it is visibly correct. If you are fussy about audit trail, do a trivial edit to it to establish your authorship. -- RHaworth 08:38, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)

Gerald, interested?
Posted at talk page for User:Marshman:

 * In other news, how about a meeting of Honolulu Wikipedians? Restaurant somewhere? Zora 7 July 2005 04:19 (UTC)
 * A date! Actually, an interesting idea. How many of us do you estimate there are? I'm game. I had a guy from SF get in touch with me a week or so ago while he was here visiting, but we got our signals screwed up and missed having a beer together. But your idea might really promote good feelings if we all know who the others are (hard to attack friends, right!) - Marshman 7 July 2005 04:26 (UTC)
 * I'm a fat crippled geekette of advanced years and I don't do dates, but I like intelligent conversation. The only other Honolulu Wikipedian I know is Alex Golub. Do you know any others? Meeting at the Kim Chee II in Kaimuki? Cheap and big naugahyde booths? Or are you a vegetarian? Zora 7 July 2005 06:20 (UTC)
 * There is Gerald Farinas. He is in Honolulu, I believe. I eat anything, and Chinese is fine. - Marshman 7 July 2005 17:40 (UTC)

Victoria Kaiulani
There is a (practically non-existant) discussion over at Talk:Victoria Kaiulani over whether the article should be renamed to Princess Victoria Kaiulani, Victoria Kaiulani, Princess of Hawai'i, or Princess Victoria Kaiulani of Hawai'i. I thought you might want to contribute to the discussion. Thanks, 青い(Aoi) 9 July 2005 01:13 (UTC)

Hawaiian royalty naming conventions
Hello, I'd like to solicit your input. I'm trying to initiative a conversation on developing naming conventions for Hawaiian royals at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Hawaii/Manual of Style and would appreciate your views on the subject. Mahalo nui loa, 青い(Aoi) 04:51, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Source for Basilica photo?
Hi, can you please indicate where you got the photo you posted at Image:Basilicaofthenationalshrineinterior.jpg?

If you took it yourself and are releasing it to the public domain, please mark it as.

Thanks! —Steven G. Johnson 02:32, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

PS. When I saw your User page, I thought for a moment that you had been blocked due to vandalism, not that you had locked it yourself; you might want to make this clearer.

PPS. Similarly, can you also give more information on Image:Basilicaofthenationalshrine.jpg? You noted that it was by someone named Paul Fernandez, but didn't indicate who this is, where you got the photo, and how you know it is public domain. Please realize that images are copyrighted by default under US law, even if they list no copyright or license information.

Claus Spreckles
I was wondering where you got the information on the extended name, as there are zero hits for "Adolph Claus J. Spreckels", and the only hits for "Adolph Claus J. Spreckles" I get are Wikipedia and a couple mirrors; also none of the biographies I found for him mention it. Similar questions about the last name. Apparently, in addition to Spreckels, California and Spreckles Sugar using 'els', his family tombstones use 'els'. Neither the bio in the Gale/Thomson bio database mention alternate spellings, and if I check the hits for "spreckles hanover" and "spreckels hanover -claus" to try and get a general idea of which spelling is common in Germany, the former gets about 80 hits, while the latter gets over 5,000. Also, http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/ usually just uses 'els' with no variant mentioned. Niteowlneils 03:37, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * PS I movedit to 'els', then decided I should wait for more research and your response and tried to use the new 'move rollback' feature, but that failed (see:Village_pump_%28technical%29)--I'm inclined to leave both articles alone for the time being in case some developer wants to try to debug the problem. Niteowlneils 03:53, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * PPS I went to my local library that has an ancestry db online, but can only be used at a branch (all their other dbs can be accessed from anywhere). I think the data comes from ancestry.com, and claims to have records from Census years, ship manifests, immigration records, etc. In it I could only find 'els', and no first/middle names other than "Claus" other than one has as a variant "Klaus". I did happen to notice there is a related book whose main title is "Adler, Jacob, Claus Spreckel", resulting in the initials AJC Spreckel--maybe that somehow caused confusion over his first name. While I was there I discovered they had "Claus Spreckels: The Sugar King in Hawaii", and the few pages I've skimmed so far never mention anything but "Claus Spreckels" for his name. Also, FWIW, I found a reference to this excerpt that seems to be the most lengthy and likely authoratative text about him on the Web. I was exploring Monterey Co., among other places, this weekend with a friend from Seattle, and we discovered the town of Spreckles--I didn't recognize the name, but she remembered Spreckels Sugar--hence the sudden interest.

Please stop uploading images without sources
You seem to have uploaded literally hundreds of photographs, and in many cases have not given specific source information. Many of these may have to be deleted; at the very least, you've given other editors the headache of trying to track down the source and determine whether or not Wikipedia can use it (hint: the default answer for things off the Web is "no").

Note that "by so-and-so" or "from such-and-such church" or even "from such-and-such publication" is not sufficiently specific—you need to give enough information for someone else to easily find the exact place you got the image (think "verifiability").

At the very least, for images off the web (which is I'm guessing where you got almost all your images), you should give the URL where you got it from. Better yet, give the full citation: the name of the web page, the date the page/article was created (if available), any author byline and copyright information, etcetera.

See Cite sources/example style if you're not sure what information to include when you cite a source.

Cut-n-paste move
Hi, when you moved Kamehameha to Kamehameha (disambiguation), you did it with a cut-n-paste move. You should never move an article with a cut-n-paste move - it loses track of the edit history, which we need Copyright reasons. Every page has a "Move this page" tab - please use it. (If it doesn't work because the target cannot be erased, and you need an admin's assistance, please use WP:RM.)

Now, part of the history of the article is under the first name. I'll have to figure out which revisions of each need to be put together to create a consistent history of the article (discarding others), and straighten it all out. Noel (talk) 05:24, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Claus Spreckels
This is the correct spelling, I know this because he is my great-great-great grandfather. I also went this summer to where he's buried at Cypress Gardens Cemetary in Colma,CA. and inside on his marble facing it shows his name. Judi--Judi 00:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem RE: Image:Angelocardinalscola.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Angelocardinalscola.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:
 * The copyright holder, and
 * The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this:.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:
 * An open content licence
 * Public Domain
 * Fair Use

 * The copyright holder gets the best protection of their work by licencing it under an open content license such as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: cc-by-sa-2.5. The GNU Free Documentation License is another option. Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag GFDL.

 * The copyright holder can also release their work into the public domain. See here for examples.

 * Images from certain sources are automatically released into the public domain. This is true for the United States, where the Wikimedia servers are located. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments.)  However, not all governments release their work into the public domain. One exception is the UK (see here for images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.

 * Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of fair use. To see a) if this image qualifies, and b) if so, how to tag it, see Fair use.

For more information, see Image copyright tags. Please remember that untagged images are likely to be deleted.

If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --WonYong 10:05, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Olympic Games links
Hi there Anon IP 132.205.45.148,

Every Summer and Winter Olympic Games has a footer down the bottom, that looks like this:

Which as you can see, contains links to Summer Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games, and all years for each summer and winter games. For this reason, links to years' games within the article itself are redundant.

It is still worth putting a link to the corresponding years Paralympic Games article in the See also section, as I notice you have been doing.

btw - great work on the specific items of history (particularly Canadian) on other Olympic articles!

List of numbers
Hi. I personally don't think your changes to the List of numbers article (adding powers of a thousands where there were powers of a million before) are adding anything useful to the article, and are serving to make it more confusing. I would rather have one or the other, but not both, and I think the powers of a million are easier to understand. I left a comment on the talk page, but I thought that an outright revert would be a bit harsh, so I'll give you an opportunity to comment before proceeding with the revert. See the article's talk page for discussion, or my talk page if you wish to talk with me specifically. --[[User:Ardonik|Ardonik(talk)]] 02:26, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)

AfD & RfA
What you suggest was precisely the content of AfD before the 19:29, 5 May 2006 deletion. I don't personally believe that cross-namespace redirects are as harmfule as some people pretend they are, but I don't think it is really an issue worth fighting over.

Prod removal
Your reason for your recent removal of my prod on TWYM indicates to me that you might have been looking for the transwikied definition in Wiktionary's mainspace, instead of the Transwiki: pseudo-namespace, where meta dictates it should be copied. FYI, the transwikied definition is at wikt:Transwiki:TWYM, and I have re-added the prod. Hope that clears up any confusion that might have arisen. TheProject 01:32, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

PROPOSALS

Legend of Zelda Categories
Hi. I noticed that you have taken part in the recent discussion about the future of the Legend of Zelda categories. I am just leaving this note to let you know that Proposal 1 (merging all game sub-categories) has been successful, and I will be relisting it at CfD later today. Of the renaming proposals, only option 7 appears to have gained a consensus in support. However, I am going to leave that discussion open a few more days as we have had a related proposal (No. 11) that has not yet been discussed. Please use this time to consider whether you wish to support or oppose the new proposal, or in any way change your previous votes. I will be reassessing the situation at about 18:00, 6 July 2006 (UTC). Road Wizard 20:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Tathra, New South Wales

Tathra is a seaside town on the Sapphire Coast found on the South Coast, New South Wales, Australia. As at the, Tathra had a population of 1,675.

Nearby points of interest are the Old Tathra Wharf, Mimosa Rocks National Park and Bournda National Park. Mimosa Rocks National Park starts at the northern end of Tathra Beach and runs north for about 16 km. It has five access roads from the Tathra-Bermagui main road. Bournda National Park starts at Kianinny Bay, at the southern end of Tathra, and runs south for about 13 km. There is a walking track near the coast, along most of its length.

The Bega River flows into the sea at the northern end of Tathra Beach, which is about 3 km long.

Tathra is said to mean "beautiful country" or "place of wild cats" in a local Aboriginal dialect.

History
The Tathra area lies within the traditional lands of the Djiringanj people, a group of the Yuin. The headland at Tathra is the site of a shell midden, which indicates it was a place favoured by the original inhabitants and a source of food.

Tathra was first settled by Europeans in the 1820s and 1830s, although it was outside the limits of a legal settlement, the Nineteen Counties. After a period of dispossession from much of their lands and coexistence with the settlers in the Bega Valley, the Aboriginal population was removed to the Wallaga Lake Aboriginal Reserve, under the control of the Aborigines Protection Board of New South Wales.

A small jetty was built at Tathra in the early 19th century. In 1861–62, a larger wharf was built from funds donated by farmers and the Illawarra Steam Navigation Company. Regular shipping commenced in 1862. The wharf, built on turpentine supports set into solid rock, was restored by the National Trust, Department of Planning, and local residents. It is the only remaining coastal steamer wharf in NSW.

In 1945, a local Volunteer Fire Brigade was established. In 2011 the Commissioner of the NSW Rural Fire Service opened a new station next to the older Station which had been in place since the early 1970s. In December 2020 the town's Fire Station received a major upgrade including the addition of a dedicated training and meeting room which featured the latest in modern technology including video conferencing. Tathra Fire Brigade is now one of the most well-equipped brigades on the Far South Coast and with weekly training, it has also come to be one of the most active brigades.

As with the Fire Brigade, the town also has a Surf Life Saving Club.

In 2008 two children fell from the wharf. Their father jumped in to attempt their rescue, but all three drowned.

On the morning of 3 April 2014, Christine Armstrong, a member of the Tathra Surf Life Saving Club was taken by a shark believed to be approximately 4 m long. Armstrong was swimming between Tathra Wharf and the Tathra Beach with a group of friends and her husband Rob. The shark was never located. This attack is believed to be the first attack in around 100 years and is extremely odd as Tathra rarely sees Sharks close to the Bay.

2018 bushfires
On 18 March 2018, a bushfire began in the locality of Reedy Swamp, near Tarraganda, which spread east towards Tathra. By the evening the fire had reached the town, destroying homes and blocking one of only two roads out of the town. Around 130 homes were either destroyed or damaged. An emergency evacuation centre for people affected by the fire was set up at the Bega Showgrounds. On 19 March (Monday), multiple schools in the area were closed due to students and staff being affected by the fire, namely Bega High School, Tathra Public School, Tanja Public School and the Bournda Environmental Education Centre. As of 10:40pm on the 18th 1,000 hectares had been burnt. By the morning of 19 March up to 70 buildings were believed to have been lost, and more than 200 people sought shelter at the Bega evacuation centre. On the afternoon of the 19th, the New South Wales Rural Fire Service (RFS) confirmed that 69 homes were destroyed and 39 were damaged, and 398 houses were saved or untouched. The RFS has stated that the total number of buildings destroyed is most likely 'seventy-plus'. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, Bega state MP Andrew Constance, federal MP Mike Kelly and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull visited Tathra soon after the fire and met with evacuated people at the Bega Showgrounds.

Heritage listings
Tathra has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
 * Wharf Road: Tathra Wharf

Transport
Tathra Road connects the regional centre of Bega 18 km to the west. Until the early 21st century, Tathra Road was known as the Snowy Mountains Highway, which now runs between Bega and the Hume Highway via Cooma and Tumut.

The Sapphire Coast Drive connects Tathra with Merimbula 25 km to the south and Tathra-Bermagui Road connects to the fishing port of Bermagui 44 km to the north.

Tathra is served by the local Bus Company Sapphire Coast Bus Lines. Sapphire Coast Bus Lines purchased the runs from the Daly family early 2013. The Daly Family operated the Bus Services from 1982 under the name of Tathra Bus Service.

Assessment
Having just looked at this article I think it rates the New C class ( was assessed Start in 2007) as has an ibox, photos and reasonable amount of content, and with better referencing would be a B candidadate, with a bit of work to layout. - BulldozerD11 (talk) 14:36, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Old unsigned Comment
Someone (i.e., someone more knowledgable about the subject than I) should add a section about the incest scandal involving him, cited in the "Incest" article.

 * New book coming out on him in July, should have that. Meantime, I'm going to work on making this article at least GA class.  Have ordered a ref, there's an article on him in World Coin News, and should be more on Google Books.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:02, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Death dates
We now have different, uncited, dates of death in the body of the article, and the infobox. Which (with citation, please) is correct? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 17:40, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Well spotted! --Old Moonraker (talk) 18:01, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Starting work on improvement
Boulton's bicentennial of death is in August, I'm at least going to take a shot at getting it FA by then. Help needed.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:16, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Boulton and Watt engine
Newcomen's engines were specifically pumping engines and had lift, but no thrust. This meant that their application was very limited. Watt's various innovations led to the development of an engine that had thrust as well as lift ie. it pushed and pulled. Moreover, where Necomen's engine could only pull a flexible chain, Watt's engine could push and pull a rigid rod. This fact meant that it could be made (with the aid of a gear) to turn a wheel around. Once the "rotative steam engine" was developed, it could be used to drive the machinery in a factory, in place of a water wheel.

The article mentions the use of the engines in mines. It also needs to mention the use of rotative engines to power factories. The engine on display in the Science Museum, and depicted in the article is one of these engines, and, although no longer operational, is the oldest known in its original state. The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney has a fully operational engine of which some sections are older, but which was subsequently modified and shows many of Watt's later improvements, including a cast iron beam, rather than the wooden one of the Science Museum engine. These engines were absolutely integral to the Industrial Revolution. They became the power for England's wool and cotton mills, as well as all sorts of other factories. They led to the development of a portable engine that could chuff along on its own flywheels (though how still bemuses engineers). They led to the steam ship.

I'm not suggesting that all this should go into the article. However, Matthew Boulton's relationship with Watt was one that transformed the world, and not just because it improve the efficiency and safety of mines. It is the rotative nature of the engine that is the key to this. While the separate condensor made the engine more efficient, it was "Watt's parallel linkage" that made the "push and pull" action possible. Although one is not supposed to use superlatives on Wikipedia, this is one of the most exquisite engineering solutions of all time. Amandajm (talk) 09:36, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Well put. I've added a paragraph that I think will answer your concern.  Thanks!  I'm not an expert on either engines or Boulton's coins, but now I've had the advise of people who know more than I do about each, and it's really helped the article.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:41, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Fantastic!
 * Re the question of whether Boulton and Watt was the name of the firm..... my rethink is that I don't honestly know. The engines are known as "Boulton and Watt" engines, ...... More later.Amandajm (talk) 14:13, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

The title listed in "Further reading" - Roll, Erich and Smith, J. G. An Early Experiment in Industrial Organisation: Being a History of the Firm of Boulton & Watt, 1775–1805 (Longmans and Green, 1930). - may help with this, if anyone can access it in library.--mervyn (talk) 08:12, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

 * None of my references refer to it as anything but Boulton & Watt.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:24, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Relationship with Wedgwood
Boulton manufactured the small metal setting for Wedgwood cameos as jewellery etc, and was probably the provider of the small ormolu settings used when Wedwood cameos were set into furniture. The Powerhouse holds an item. I recall that the setting is not silver but a silver-coloured alloy of Boulton's invention. ..... I've just been searching through my books for some reference and can't find it. Amandajm (talk) 06:24, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Wish I had been into this article when I was in Sydney in March! Was it Sheffield plate, which is discussed in the article?--Wehwalt (talk) 11:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Semi-colons
I keep deleting them because their use is nearly always inappropriate.

Here is an example from the text which constitutes correct use.

Before construction, the cost of the principal building alone had been estimated at £2,000[21] (about £276,000 today); it proved to cost five times that amount.

In this case the two joined sentences are very closely related in meaning, there being a conflict between the two statements and the former impacting on the reader's understanding of the latter.

Although this is not incorrect, the sentences could be more effectively linked by the addition of the word "although". Drop the "it proved".

Before construction, the cost of the principal building alone had been estimated at £2,000[21] (about £276,000 today), although ultimately the cost was five times that amount.

Or:

Although before construction, the estimated cost of the principal building was £2,000[21] (about £276,000 today), the actual cost was five times that amount.

Amandajm (talk) 13:09, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Since the article is currently at FAC, could I ask you to state your concerns there? I'm not sure exactly how to answer, the article has been copyedited by two experienced editors who haven't raised red flags at the semicolons, and I'd rather have this thrashed out with everyone, literally, on the same page, rather than splitting things up between this talk page and there.  Thanks for your efforts to improve the article.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:16, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I think that many people might think I was nit-picking. I don't think that the semi-colons will make or break an FA.
 * Here's a reference that I found online to the association with Wedgwood. I'll see if I can track down some more.
 * Amandajm (talk) 13:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Here we are! The Wedgwood Museum, a thoroughly reliable online source. Wedgwood Museum
 * Amandajm (talk) 13:53, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll look at it when I get a chance, but don't want to add much to the article, which is getting long. Perhaps expand on the mention in the ormolu section.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:51, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Pictures of Boulton-made items
thinks he might be able to go to Birmingham and take pictures of Boulton-related items. Is there a particular museum that would be relevant for this? Awadewit (talk) 20:49, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * There's a major Boulton exhibition going on until the end of September at Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery, Gas Hall Exhibition Gallery. If he goes, he should try for silver and ormolu, but I'll take anything.  Except that disputed picture of a sword from the V&A, there's nothing free on the web.  I was looking for American museums displaying his stuff, the nearest to me is in Delaware and all they have are lamps.  Thanks to you and SH!--Wehwalt (talk) 22:13, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Have passed the info along - thanks! Awadewit (talk) 22:18, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll do what I can. I should be clear that I do not have a particularly good camera, so we're going to end up with not particularly great photos, but that's still, of course, better than the "no photos at all" of present. In the unlikely event anyone knows of someone willing to lend a better camera for a week, please let me know. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 22:47, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Wish I could help. Thanks for your help!  I think there is a very good chance this will pass FA shortly and hopefully be TFA on August 17, and it would be great to have shots of Boulton's decorative arts for the big day!--Wehwalt (talk) 23:00, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I speak from experience; silver is darn hard to photograph. I'd get the ormolu first, esp if you are breaking museum rules.  But they teach any photographer, better to apologize after than ask permission before!--Wehwalt (talk) 23:14, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * If he's still planning on going, he should try for one of the spectacular ormolu clocks, he'll know them when he sees them. I have the exhibition catalog, so he doesn't have to worry about identification, I'll piece it together.  I am going to be in England and in Birmingham in late September, before the exhibit closes, but that is obviously after the bicentennial minute.  I've got an iron or two in the fire if that fails, though.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:33, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

FA!
Yay! Now on to see if we can get this main page on August 17! Wild party in the sandbox first tonight!--Wehwalt (talk) 23:22, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I was just going to respond to my FA comments. Shall I hold off until people have recovered from the hangovers? Awadewit (talk) 02:17, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I had saved some wine for you. Why not make suggestions here?  We want to have this article in great shape for possible TFA on August 17.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:31, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Congratulations! Amandajm (talk) 11:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Great! This has been a crazy week for me and I'm leaving town really soon. I promise to get back to this in about a week or so! Awadewit (talk) 04:35, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry this has taken me so long! Awadewit (talk) 16:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Unresolved FAC comments

 * Comprehensiveness: It was revealed in the comments at the FAC about Boulton and his relationship to the Industrial Revolution that there is debate among historians about precisely what Boulton's role in the Industrial Revolution was. I think that some of this debate needs to be included in the article. Boulton's place in the larger historical tapestry needs to be made clear to readers and if there is debate about that, so does the debate. I would envision a small paragraph on this issue. Awadewit (talk) 15:59, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Prose: I still think that the "Other activities" section could flow a bit better - the paragraphs still seem to change abruptly from topic to topic. Awadewit (talk) 15:59, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm currently away and don't have my refs with me. I'll be home in a week.--Wehwalt (talk) 07:27, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry, I still haven't gotten to it but I am not sure the Industrial Revolution thing is something we'll be able to address in full, because there seem to be so many divergent views on it. I'll work on the prose first, that is hopefully easy.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:01, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * We don't need to address the Industrial Revolution "in full", but we do need to address it in part. For example, we don't need to offer all of the competing views on how the Industrial Revolution started. What we do need to mention are the mainstream views on Boulton's contribution to it. Awadewit (talk) 22:15, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * OK, not a problem. I'll look for a few and get them in next week, in time for TFA day, as well as views I can find against it.  A balanced cpuple of paragraphs, I'm figuring.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:34, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * How's this going? Awadewit (talk) 06:54, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry, Awadewit, I ran out of time before I left the country (only temporarily) and I can't access anyting substantive on Google books right now. If you want to throw together something quickly, it is cool, otherwise I will make it top priority when I get home on Friday.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

...and yet more Congratulations
on getting on the main page! Sorry I missed the party! Amandajm (talk) 10:51, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm still cleaning up the article from it! Most edits are keepable and I won't touch them accordingly, the worst are the date links.  Totally useless.  But thanks for the congrats.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:31, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Setting up WikiProject Silverware?
Would anyone be interested in helping to set up a WikiProject Silverware? I'm interested in salvers, coffee pots, jugs, candlesticks, famous silversmiths, different styles, etc. Thanks. Girlwithgreeneyes (talk) 11:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Mineral collection
I was disappointed to see of this recently-added section, in its entirety. It speaks to Boulton's personal and professional interests, and describes tangible objects once owned by him, and which are now available for public inspection. At 65K, the article is not over-long, and even if it were, it could be subdivided, rather than losing cited and relevant material. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:44, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

I was also preparing to add a photo with a mineral specimen labelled in Boulton's handwriting, which might be of general interest as there isn't a handwriting sample on the page, and another citation referring to the significance of this as an early and significance geology collection. Luannasaurus (talk) 21:47, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Why is it significant? Has it contributed to learning, or have scholars written peer-reviewed articles on them? Why is this different from any other of his many interests? That can be covered in a sentence or so if at all.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:33, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe I addressed your first question, about significance, in "It speaks to Boulton's personal and professional interests, and describes tangible objects once owned by him, and which are now available for public inspection". It was clearly significant enough to Boulton, that he devoted a whole room of his house to the collection. As for contribution to learning, that would seem to be met by "The Matthew Boulton mineral collection of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery may contain one of the earliest known specimens of witherite. A label in Boulton's handwriting records; 'No.2 Terra Ponderosa Aerata, given me by Dr. Withering'" (from William Withering) which should perhaps be added to the material when it is restored. The citation for that is .  Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:38, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Hallmarking silver plate?
I don't wish to drop a dubious tag into a FA, but "silver plate had to be sent over 70 miles (110 km) to the nearest assay office, at Chester, to be assayed and hallmarked" is dubious. Silver plate is not hallmarked, only solid silver. The hallmark is a guarantee that the silver (and of course likewise gold, platinum and palladium) is solid and of the stated quality. How, for instance, could you put a 925 (sterling) silver on something that is 90% base metal? Boulton is quoted as saying "I am very desirous of becoming a great silversmith, yet I am determined not to take up that branch in the large way I intended, unless powers can be obtained to have a marking hall [assay office] at Birmingham." Note that here is talking about being a silversmith, which usually means working in the solid metal. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 11:38, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

 * If it's not clear that what is meant are solid sterling silver items, I'd suggest you consider a rephrasing that suits you. Obviously plated silver has never carried an official hallmark (disregarding the mock hallmarks I've seen on some plated items. Wehwalt (talk) 12:21, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, "silver plate" especially in those days, is not "silverplated", but the term for vessels and other non-jewellery objects in silver. Johnbod (talk) 12:41, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see what you mean. Coming immediately after a reference to Sheffield plate it's a bit misleading though.  Given that this is a featured article I'll not wade in (I'm an old white Englishman), perhaps someone could clarify it for the readership?  Thanks. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:51, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes something should be done I think. Sadly the fine old term "massy plate" would no doubt make things worse. Johnbod (talk) 13:08, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I've changed "silver plate" to "heavier items". Will that do? Wehwalt (talk) 13:13, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

List of Major League Baseball single-game strikeout leaders

In baseball, a strikeout occurs when a pitcher throws three strikes to a batter during his time at bat. Twenty different pitchers have struck out at least 18 batters in a single nine-inning Major League Baseball (MLB) game, the most recent being Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals on May 11, 2016. Four players have accomplished the feat more than once in their career; no player has ever struck out more than 20 batters in a nine-inning game. Charlie Sweeney was the first player to strike out 18 batters in a single game, doing so for the Providence Grays against the Boston Beaneaters on June 7, 1884. In spite of this, Bob Feller is viewed as the first pitcher to accomplish the feat, since his then-record 18 strikeouts was the first to occur during the 20th century and the live-ball era.

Out of the twenty pitchers who have accomplished the feat, fifteen were right-handed and five pitched left-handed. Five of these players have played for only one major league team. Six pitchers—Steve Carlton, Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, and Max Scherzer—are also members of the 3,000 strikeout club. Sweeney has the fewest career strikeouts in the group with 505, while Nolan Ryan, with 5,714, struck out more batters than any other pitcher in major league history. Bill Gullickson and Kerry Wood are the only rookies to have achieved the feat. Tom Seaver concluded his milestone game by striking out the final ten batters he faced, setting a new major league record for most consecutive strikeouts.

Of the eleven players eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame who have struck out 18 batters in a game, six have been elected; all six were elected on the first ballot. Players are eligible for the Hall of Fame if they have played in at least 10 major league seasons, and have either been retired for five seasons or deceased for at least six months.

18 strikeouts in extra-inning games

Seven different pitchers have struck out at least 18 batters in an extra-inning Major League Baseball (MLB) game to date. Only Nolan Ryan accomplished the feat more than once in his career and no player has ever struck out more than 21 batters in a game.

The following list is kept separate from the above list of pitchers who have struck out 18 or more batters in a nine-inning game. This is due to the differing number of innings pitched during an extra-inning game, the lack of a definitive endpoint to the game that would otherwise allow for a fair comparison to be made, and the advantage of having more opportunities to strike out players during an extra-inning game as opposed to one lasting nine innings.
