Conflict over Dylan articles
I have now looked at some parts of this (you can see my analysis here) and, from what I can see, most of Monicasdude's criticisms of your edits were valid even though he was too harsh in much of his comments. You know my aversion to reversion. This was a good example of why I hold that view. Both of you could have stayed civil and held a more constructive conversation had you not got enmeshed in an edit war. I notice that you accepted the changes evetually and I would like to think that you would reach consensus more comfortably if you stepped back further or more redaily. I am not suggesting that you always surrender meekly. The key things that I would like to see you take from this are:
 * 1) Use the edit summary to state what you changed and why you think your version is an improvement. Be cautious, civil and objective in all edit summaries.
 * 2) Do not revert more than once every 24 hours even if someone reverts your revert. No harm will come to Wikipedia or your reputation in that time and it gives you time to reflect.
 * 3) You are doing good work and so are others. Try to see other editors' persepctives when you read their edits and try to guess their responses before you hit save.

I hope this is helpful. Do you still want me to look at the Beach Boys stuff, or can you take it from here? —Theo (Talk) 17:10, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Love you
Brian: I have looked at Love You and I understand both your frustration and Monicasdude's motivation. I have put inline comments into the text to show the changes that I would suggest to enhance the article (I also enacted afew that I thought were most essential). Here is the diff. —Theo (Talk) 17:53, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

M.I.U. Album
I liked your solution of the infobox problem; if you haven't mentioned this at the template Talk page, you should do — it might help a lot of other people. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 20:45, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Inappropriate editing practices
Please discontinue your practice of making substantive changes to articles, especially over matters currently being disputed, while marking the edits as minor and attaching edit summaries such as "fix typo errors" or providing no edit summary whatever. Monicasdude 06:38, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

John Wesley Harding
Although I do not condone Monicasdude's reversion of all your edits, I do endorse his exhortation to use the edit summary and the minor edits check box more accurately. It seems that I should revise the first of my recommendations above to read: Use the edit summary to state what you changed and why you think your version is an improvement. Be accurate, cautious, civil, and objective in all edit summaries.

I hope that Monicasdude will heed my request to interact more civilly (and I do feel that his latest message here is a paragon of restrained complaint) but you can avoid giving him any excuse to misbehave by proposing any material changes (that is, anything other than corrections of typos, wiki links and formatting) on the appropriate discussion page and waiting 24 hours before implementing them in the article. —Theo (Talk) 12:26, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Articles
Some very nice work going on there. I especially like the entry for KTSA (sometimes it's hard to be so NPOV about such a splitter of opinion as this one). Next question: I personally think we should include links to the lyrics from Surfer Moon as per Revolver and others. As I say, I really should get to doing some extra work myself, but I'm kinda afraid to touch these articles now! As much as I don't believe in article ownership, I think you've done very well with these. Bobo192 | Edits

External link
Looks pretty cool. Just bulleted it and italicized the title of the album within the link. Plus it links to the unwindowed version of the website, which is a plus in anyone's book. It's looking pretty cool now, I think. What about you? Bobo192 | Edits

 * Cool. I'll get to the rest. I still gotta remember to access the website without frames, though.. it can be a pain for external linking otherwise. Bobo192 | Edits

Inaccurate edits & inappropriate editing practices
Please stop changing album pages to identify items as "deleted" or "unavailable" when the items are listed for sale on an artist's official site and in the artist's label's online catalogs.

Please stop listing substantive edits as "minor." Please note such applicable language as

"A minor edit to a wiki page is generally one that makes only trivial changes such as typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearranging of text (without changing any of the text's content). . . [A]ny change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it is only a single word."

"No one wants to be fooled into ignoring a significant change to an article because it was marked "minor". Therefore, remember to consider the opinions of other editors when choosing this option."

Monicasdude 03:28, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Brian: Again, I endorse Monicasdude's points. It may be that you are checking edits as minor by default. Please go to Special:Preferences, Select Editing and ensure that your "Mark all edits minor by default" box is unchecked. If you continue to mark material edits as 'minor' I will raise a Request for Comment on your behaviour. —Theo (Talk) 10:53, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Brian: I do not know if your doing this consciously, but your messages today have included covert attacks on Monicasdude. Please stop this because it makes constructive communication difficult. If it is not deliberate, take another look at the messages and consider how you might feel if you were the unnamed subject. —Theo (Talk) 16:50, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Opel
You reverted my changes to Opel (album), without saying why, and describing your changes as "minor". Please do not do so again, without providing justification for your edits, and having first read Neutral point of view. Andy Mabbett 18:03, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

My prefercences were inadvertently set to state "minor changes" (which I have since switched off) and I did those changes in haste without adding comments, which I have now done. PetSounds 18:20, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Pacific Ocean Blue
I must admit, I was surprised it wasn't there - and unfortunately I don't have a copy of that album I can call my own, so I'm kinda unable to do much with it. I know other people have copies, but it's a tricky one really. Bobo192 | Edits

Sleeve notes as sources
Hi Brian: I am pleased to see you citing sources for your edits. Please be aware that not all sources are equal! While it is appropriate to use CD booklets as sources for assertions of hard facts (or what purport to be so), they are suspect as sources for soft facts, judgements or opinions. This is because they tend to be promotional. It is fine to cite such things towards the end of an article when discussing opinions and reactions, but they should be avoided in the lead and in the first few paragraphs. For example, if the sleeve says that a record was "a pivotal album" (which could be an opinion), we need to know why it is pivotal and state those causes. For example "Foobar is a pivotal album because it contains four tracks in the band's established folk style and six in the electropop idiom that they adopted hereafter." Note that the (admittedly absurd) supporting facts are essentially objective. I am aware that I seem to be making relentless criticisms of your contributions; I hope that you realise that I am making this effort because I believe that you have a lot to offer the encyclopedia. When I was the subject of a similar process, I found it hard to take at the time but I now value what I learnt. —Theo (Talk) 12:48, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Brian: Monicasdude has complained on my talk page that you are repeatedly introducing definitive judgements of albums into those articles. I agree with him and I now ask you to stop writing such phrases into articles without proposing them first on article talk pages. Do you understand how statements of this nature differ from the main body of an encyclopedic article? Either way, please stop making any qualitative additions to articles without discussion. I hope that you will rapidly learn to identify unencyclopedic phrases and can rely on your own judgement. —Theo (Talk) 18:14, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

I have edited Younger Than Yesterday to show the kind of thing that I consider appropriate. I hope this helps. —Theo (Talk) 00:36, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

I prefer the revised format, although I think an even better approach would be to list the additional tracks as a subsection of ==Track listing==. I prefer the revised format because it pauts all the discursive text in the body of the article and leaves the other sections as consistent lists. We can gradually change the others as we increase their objectivity (where they were last touched by you (smiling exaggeration)) or their subjectivity (where your changes were reverted bigger grin)). —Theo (Talk) 01:13, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Stop vandalizing pages by removing other users contributions
It is entirely inappropriate for you to systematically remove other users' contributions because you believe their edit summaries insufficient. I note that in no cases have you posted appropriate comments on the talk pages of the users involved. Removing edits with which you can cite no substantive dispute is vandalous.

You have been repeatedly cited by a number of editors, myself included, and several admins for mismarking substantive edits as minor, and for your practice of writing misleading edit summaries -- for example, making substantial deletions of lengthy contributions from other editors and describing the edits as spelling or grammar corrections. You would be better advised to return to your own past edits and clean up the results of your own misconduct rather than harassing users whose failures result from inexperience rather than malice or deceptive intent. Monicasdude 18:27, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Stop making false claims of vandalism in your edit summaries
You have repeatedly inserted false claims of vandalism in edit summaries today regarding your dispute with one or more other users regarding tracklists of various Beach Boys-related pages and comments in the articles. For one user to disagree with another about the appropriate level of detail in an article is not unusual; for one user in such, without evidence, to characterize the other's insistence as motivated by vandalism appears no better than dishonest. Monicasdude 18:42, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

I see that Monicasdude is one step ahead of me again. This edit makes two changes under the summary "removing vandalism". One is the changing of a release date, with which you have previously disagreed, and the other deletes a parenthetical phrase "including the Al Jardine-produced re-recording of "Cotton Fields", retitled on the single as "Cottonfields"", which you accepted in your edit at 02:31 (which is also incorrectly summarised as "removing vandalism"), your edit at 00:05, and others. I have asked you twice before to leave accurate edit summaries. I have also asked you to cite sources inline and to explain your changes on the discussion page. You have disregarded all this with your edits to Sunflower (album) over the last 24 hours or so. I can see that you used a clear explanatory edit summary here but that does not justify your repeated unexplained or misexplained reversal of the edits that you consider erroneous. Once again, I have made the kind of changes that I recommend and explained them on the talk page. Please try to follow this process yourself in future. —Theo (Talk) 19:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Stop posting threats and false accusations of misconduct on other users' talk pages
Your comments on the talk page of user:4.131.157.238 are contemptible and violate applicable guidelines on civlity, editing, etc. It is not vandalism for another user to have "erased some of my wording," and no user needs to "ask before removing details" from pages you have written. You are simply being dishonest in an attempt to intimidate and harass an editor you disagree with. Monicasdude 19:15, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Brian: Comments like those at [User talk:4.131.157.238#Sunflower] are not acceptable. I have replaced them with something more appropriate. This user is making the same mistakes that you made. How would you feel to be bullied in such a fashion? Please do not bite the newcomers. —Theo (Talk) 20:05, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Just in case you have not yet gone: I am sorry that you feel so assailed, and I regret the hours that I spent trying to help. But not so much that I will not persist should you choose the stay or return. &mdashTheo (Talk) 22:00, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

John Copley (producer)

John Michael Harold Copley CBE (born 12 June 1933), is a British theatre and opera producer and director.

He was born in Birmingham to Ernest and Lilian (née Forbes) Copley, and attended King Edward VI Five Ways grammar school. After a brief career as an actor, he became stage manager at Sadler's Wells in 1953 and resident producer for The Royal Opera, Covent Garden, in 1972. He has produced most of the standard operatic repertoire for many opera houses and festivals in Europe, the United States, and Canada. He is also an accomplished pianist and singer. He has had a long association with Opera Australia, including the Australian premiere of Leoš Janáček's Jenůfa in 1974.

The filmed operas he has been associated with are:
 * Semiramide (1990)
 * Adriana Lecouvreur (1984)
 * Giulio Cesare (1984)
 * La bohème (1982)
 * Lucrezia Borgia (1980)
 * Lucia di Lammermoor (1986)

For over 50 years Copley was the partner of John Hugh Chadwyck-Healey (1922–2014), grandson of Charles Chadwyck-Healey, 1st Baronet. In 2006, they contracted a civil partnership, which Copley described when he was a guest on the BBC Radio 4 Desert Island Discs programme on 3 January 2010.

Copley was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2014 New Year Honours for services to opera.

In January 2018, during choir rehearsals for a revival of Copley's 1990 production of Rossini's Semiramide at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, Copley coached the singers to show reactions to the appearance of Nino's ghost at the end of act 1. He suggested that he would "imagine the character naked" which prompted a complaint from a chorister. The Met's manager Peter Gelb then fired Copley, citing a different account of the complaint. Gelb's action has been described as a "witch hunt" and been widely criticised by other cast members, opera singers and managers. The American Guild of Musical Artists also considered Gelb's response to be inappropriate, and "believed the episode could have been resolved amicably". At the time of Copley's firing, the Met was investigating allegations of sexual misconduct made by four former students against former music director James Levine, details of whose private life were said to have been widely known; in these circumstances the company made sure in reporting on its decision regarding Copley to emphasise its "strong policies in place relating to workplace behaviour (placing) paramount importance on the welfare of its artists and staff".

As an editor at Crawdaddy!, and to comply with COI guidelines, I am not posting the link to this article taking an in-depth look at "Dance Music" by the Mountain Goats, a song which appears on The Sunset Tree.

P.S. I like messages :-P

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sunsetbue. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sunsetbue~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:14, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Iron Realms Entertainment

Imperian
All of Iron Realm's games have pages except Imperian. Anyone know why this is? 223ankher (talk) 13:12, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Because of Votes for deletion/Imperian. This was back when Articles for Deletion was called Votes for Deletion, and in a time of a lot of knee-jerk prejudice against MUD notability, so it'd be a fine candidate for re-creation if you found some reliable sources talking about it. —chaos5023 (talk) 14:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Content issues
Why the heck was "Iron Realms MMOs are among the most popular in the world" in Wikipedia? This fact is unverifiable and sounds like a plain advertisement/propaganda to me. It has been removed until sources can be found. ---

State your facts. Q: Where did the "#2" statistic come from? Is the combat engine actually the most advanced in it's field?

A: The second rank statistic is most likely based off of Top MUD Sites. It would be difficult quantify what makes the combat engine the most advanced of any MUD or similar game, but you are welcome to examine its complexity on your own. An essay, written by the creator, explaining the theory behind the combat system has been reproduced here: Mechanics of Achaean Combat

 * I apologize for breaking up this comment, but it was unsigned and I'm not sure where it ends. The #2 statistic is one I've heard the CEO use before. I'm guessing it's either market share or revenue. Only Simutronics has higher market share and revenue in text MUDs. Aurelius17 03:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Q: Do you have to pay to use games from Iron Realms Entertainment?

A: No, although you may pay to purchase a form of in-game currency that allows you to buy various upgrades/items.

Why is the neurality of this article being debated? These three elements are what draw many people to these games and Iron Realms is known around the MUD community for them. No one's saying Iron Realms is better than any other MUD developer. --Useless Fodder 20:11, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Where does "1. Pioneering the pay-for-virtual-items trend in MMOGs back in 1997." come from?

BatMUD was selling virtual items in January 1996.

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.mud.lp/msg/1c1976d66bb4c802?&hl=en

Medievia was selling virtual items in April 1995.

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.mud.diku/msg/34ce0e23497fbf31?&hl=en

Dark Castle was selling virtual items in January 1995.

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.mud.diku/msg/dbff4636ff3dd6b5?&hl=en

There are plenty more. Muds have been selling virtual items long before IRE existed. -- Poster A

Not one of those were selling items, they were giving items in return for donations(which in theory you could donate and they wouldn't give you anything). None of them were built around the concept either, where IRE's games were.

Many muds called these transations "donations" in an attempt to get around the non-profit clauses of their licenses, but they were very clearly sales - sometimes even offering specific items in exchange for specific amounts of money (item X for $20, item Y for $25, item Z for $50). Some of these muds have said they couldn't continue operating if they didn't sell items, while others have become fully commercial games which are the primary source of income for their owners, so obviously they ARE built around the concept, even if they didn't necessarily start out with that intention. Either way, it is clear that IRE did not "pioneer the pay-for-virtual-items trend". That trend was already firmly established long before IRE joined the scene. -- Poster A

I'm not sure who left the above comment or where it ends, as it's not signed, but: I think the article was being quite reasonable. Iron Realms IS known for pioneering virtual item sales. Pioneering is not the same as inventing, and they were, as far as I know, the first people to really form a business around virtual item sales. Aurelius17 03:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I added 'Poster A' to my posts so you can see which were mine. Wikipedia defines pioneer as "A person who initiated a particular action or idea, or it may refer to the idea or action itself if it was the source of a subsequent idea or action", and it is known that muds were selling virtual items long before Iron Realms even existed, some of which formed businesses around those sales. -- Poster A

There are a lot of heavily opinion-based comments on this page about the company's revenue model. If they're still in business then it's obvious some people agree with how the company makes its money. I don't think unsubtantiated judgements on the business model should be included in the entry.

If someone is going to take the time to research IRE, shouldn't they be informed about the working games that IRE has released by having descriptions of the games on this page, or a link to the wikipedia page on the game. All four games should be described with information such as playable races, generic mob data, stat systems, class systems, etc. (Generically, of course.)

CEO
I don't see how the CEO should have his own article. For example, Luca Pancallo (PlaneShift MMORPG founder) had his own article deleted. You gotta be notable, like John Romero, to merit your own article. Leave the CEO in Iron Realms Entertainment. Tuxide 05:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I think the CEO does meet the notability requirements for his own page actually. He's been published more than once, and he's better known than the average college professor. Aurelius17 03:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Controversy and Customer Service History
A companies public, verifiable history with customers - especially if it is exceptionally poor - is an important item to include on the page. This is certainly so if the the history can be independently verified, with third-party sources cited to bolster the information.

It is poor form for a company to edit their own page to remove valid content that cites two separate sources that both provide evidence of the companies attitude towards their clients. If the company wishes to have a clean record with their customers, they should seek to rectify what those customers perceive they have done wrong, not edit a Wikipedia page that is providing valid and valuable information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlanRoca (talk • contribs) 04:44, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Modern C++ Design

Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied is a book written by Andrei Alexandrescu, published in 2001 by Addison-Wesley. It has been regarded as "one of the most important C++ books" by Scott Meyers.

The book makes use of and explores a C++ programming technique called template metaprogramming. While Alexandrescu didn't invent the technique, he has popularized it among programmers. His book contains solutions to practical problems which C++ programmers may face. Several phrases from the book are now used within the C++ community as generic terms: modern C++ (as opposed to C/C++ style), policy-based design and typelist.

All of the code described in the book is freely available in his library Loki. The book has been republished and translated into several languages since 2001.

Policy-based design
Policy-based design, also known as policy-based class design or policy-based programming, is the term used in Modern C++ Design for a design approach based on an idiom for C++ known as policies. It has been described as a compile-time variant of the strategy pattern, and has connections with C++ template metaprogramming. It was first popularized in C++ by Andrei Alexandrescu with Modern C++ Design and with his column Generic in the C/C++ Users Journal, and it is currently closely associated with C++ and D as it requires a compiler with highly robust support for templates, which was not common before about 2003.

Previous examples of this design approach, based on parameterized generic code, include parametric modules (functors) of the ML languages, and C++ allocators for memory management policy.

The central idiom in policy-based design is a class template (called the host class), taking several type parameters as input, which are instantiated with types selected by the user (called policy classes), each implementing a particular implicit interface (called a policy), and encapsulating some orthogonal (or mostly orthogonal) aspect of the behavior of the instantiated host class. By supplying a host class combined with a set of different, canned implementations for each policy, a library or module can support an exponential number of different behavior combinations, resolved at compile time, and selected by mixing and matching the different supplied policy classes in the instantiation of the host class template. Additionally, by writing a custom implementation of a given policy, a policy-based library can be used in situations requiring behaviors unforeseen by the library implementor. Even in cases where no more than one implementation of each policy will ever be used, decomposing a class into policies can aid the design process, by increasing modularity and highlighting exactly where orthogonal design decisions have been made.

While assembling software components out of interchangeable modules is a far-fetched concept, policy-based design represents an innovation in a way it applies that concept at the (relatively low) level of defining the behavior of an individual class. Policy classes are similar to callbacks, but differ in that, rather than consisting of a single function, a policy class will typically contain several related functions (methods), often combined with state variables or other facilities such as nested types. A policy-based host class can be thought of as a type of metafunction, taking a set of behaviors represented by types as input, and returning as output a type representing the result of combining those behaviors into a functioning whole. (Unlike MPL metafunctions, however, the output is usually represented by the instantiated host class itself, rather than a nested output type.)

A key feature of the policy idiom is that, usually (though it is not strictly necessary), the host class will derive from (make itself a child class of) each of its policy classes using (public) multiple inheritance. (Alternatives are for the host class to merely contain a member variable of each policy class type, or else to inherit the policy classes privately; however, inheriting the policy classes publicly has the major advantage that a policy class can add new methods, inherited by the instantiated host class and accessible to its users, which the host class itself need not even know about.) A notable feature of this aspect of the policy idiom is that, relative to object-oriented programming, policies invert the relationship between base class and derived class - whereas in OOP interfaces are traditionally represented by (abstract) base classes and implementations of interfaces by derived classes, in policy-based design the derived (host) class represents the interfaces and the base (policy) classes implement them. In the case of policies, the public inheritance does not represent an is-a relationship between the host and the policy classes. While this would traditionally be considered evidence of a design defect in OOP contexts, this doesn't apply in the context of the policy idiom.

A disadvantage of policies in their current incarnation is that the policy interface doesn't have a direct, explicit representation in code, but rather is defined implicitly, via duck typing, and must be documented separately and manually, in comments. The main idea is to use commonality-variability analysis to divide the type into the fixed implementation and interface, the policy-based class, and the different policies. The trick is to know what goes into the main class, and what policies should one create. The article mentioned above gives the following answer: wherever we would need to make a possible limiting design decision, we should postpone that decision, we should delegate it to an appropriately named policy.

Policy classes can contain implementation, type definitions and so forth. Basically, the designer of the main template class will define what the policy classes should provide, what customization points they need to implement.

It may be a delicate task to create a good set of policies, just the right number (e.g., the minimum necessary). The different customization points, which belong together, should go into one policy argument, such as storage policy, validation policy and so forth. Graphic designers are able to give a name to their policies, which represent concepts, and not those which represent operations or minor implementation details.

Policy-based design may incorporate other useful techniques. For example, the template method pattern can be reinterpreted for compile time, so that a main class has a skeleton algorithm, which – at customization points – calls the appropriate functions of some of the policies.

This will be achieved dynamically by concepts in future versions of C++.

Simple example
Presented below is a simple (contrived) example of a C++ hello world program, where the text to be printed and the method of printing it are decomposed using policies. In this example, HelloWorld is a host class where it takes two policies, one for specifying how a message should be shown and the other for the actual message being printed. Note that the generic implementation is in  and therefore the code is unable to be compiled unless both policies (  and  ) are provided.

Designers can easily write more s by adding new classes with the member function   and take those as new  s.

Loki library
Loki is the name of a C++ software library written by Andrei Alexandrescu as part of his book Modern C++ Design.

The library makes extensive use of C++ template metaprogramming and implements several commonly used tools: typelist, functor, singleton, smart pointer, object factory, visitor and multimethods.

Originally the library was only compatible with two of the most standard conforming C++ compilers (CodeWarrior and Comeau C/C++): later efforts have made it usable with a wide array of compilers (including older Visual C++ 6.0, Borland C++ Builder 6.0, Clang and GCC). Compiler vendors used Loki as a compatibility benchmark, further increasing the number of compliant compilers.

Maintenance and further development of Loki has been continued through an open-source community led by Peter Kümmel and Richard Sposato as a SourceForge project. Ongoing contributions by many people have improved the overall robustness and functionality of the library. Loki is not tied to the book anymore as it already has a lot of new components (e.g. StrongPtr, Printf, and Scopeguard). Loki inspired similar tools and functionality now also present in the Boost library collection.

Hi Aetil,

Please be more careful with your edits, because I found two problems.

(1) Small Boulevard info doubled in Grand Boulevard article
You inserted this part into the article Grand Boulevard (Budapest), in connection with the Small Boulevard:

 * "which follows the line of the demolished city walls of medieval Pest (remaining parts of this wall can still be found in the internal courtyards of several residential buildings on Múzeum körút)"

As you could see the link, there is a separate article about Small Boulevard, where this information is already available:

 * "Along Kiskörút, remnants of the old City Wall can still be seen (eg. at Ferenczy István utca corner), although most are already hidden in the courtyards of residential buildings."

So please

 * 1) Put relevant information to the article it belongs (if the article exists).
 * 2) Before making a change, read through the article (e.g. by searching for a typical term in its text) whether it already contains the necessary information (or a piece of it, or a link to it), so it shouldn't be doubled.

(2) Széchenyi Chain Bridge
What is your source that Roosevelt Square in Budapest is named after Theodore Roosevelt and not Franklin D. Roosevelt? My source is Somorjai Ferenc: Budapest (Panoráma városkalauz), Medicina, 1996, page 227 (ISBN 9632437667).

User page copying
Megtisztelő, hogy ilyen pompásnak tartod a userlapomat, de legalább egy picit variálhattál volna rajta – különösen a szövegén! –, mielőtt lenyúlod... :-) (Még jó, hogy a zoknibábot nem vetted át.) Még csak nem is olyan nagy szám, amit én összehoztam; nem hiszem, hogy méltó lenne a sokszorosításra.

Szerintem érdemes lenne megnézned egypár más userlapot is (pl. a Recent changesből vagy az általad látogatott lapok történetére kattintva), és azokból megpróbálhatnál valami egyénibbet összeollózni: szöveg, szín, elrendezés, betűtípus, és mindenekelőtt maga a tartalom terén. Biztos találsz perceken belül még egy csomó más jó ötletet is. Nem hiszem el, hogy ennyire nincs fantáziád! -- Adam78 00:23, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Még valami: ha a Wikipédiában bárhol aláírsz valamit, azt a négy hullámvonallal teheted ( ~ ): ennek révén, amikor a "Save page"-re kattintasz, megjelenik a felhasználóneved az oldaladra belinkelve, valamint az aktuális dátum, mint emitt: Adam78 10:45, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Postásnő
Tavaly augusztusban írtad a Gender-neutral language c. cikkbe, hogy This though does not work with all the professions as quite many would sound very awkward (as "postás" meaning "letter carrier", lit. "someone associated with the post", where there is no such thing as "postásnő" "mailwoman"). → Biztos vagy benne, hogy a postásnő alakot akkor sem használják, ha ki akarják hangsúlyozni, hogy az illető nő? Ezek>szerint ez az MTI-hír "magyartalan"? Kiraboltatta magát a gyöngyösfalui postásnő

Üdv, 194.152.154.2 01:40, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Szevasz, én az általad küldött cikkben is erőltetettnek érzem erősen a postásnőt, persze lehet, hogy csak az én fülem sérti a szokatlansága. Létezik a rendőrnő is, ami valahogy egyértelműbben humoros-gúnyos kifejezés és mutatja, hogy mennyire nem hétköznapi módja ez a nemi különbségtételnek a szakmanévben. Igazából nem tudom:) Lehet, hogy ízlés és nem nyelvhelyesség kérdése?

Üdv, Aetil (remélem megkapod ezt az üzenetet, nem tudom, rendesen hogyan kellene küldeni..)

 * Hali, "anonimoknak" így kell küldeni, nincs állandó vitalapjuk (én meg voltam olyan lusta, hogy nem jelentkeztem be. :))
 * Szokatlannak végülis tényleg szoktatlan a "postásnő", de szerintem ennek csak az az oka, hogy ritkán akarjuk valakiről egyszerre hangsúlyozni azt, hogy nőnemű és azt, hogy a foglalkozása: postás. De ha valami miatt akarjuk, akkor szerintem így tehetjük a legegyszerűbben.
 * (Az én fülemet annyira nem sértette, de nem zárom ki, hogy az ízlésemet már kikezdték a kereskedelmi televíziók. :))

Spelling on your user page
Judging by your user boxes, you care about spelling and grammar. Since I also care about spelling and grammar and would prefer people to correct me when I get something wrong, I would like to let you know you incorrectly used further in Soldat. Since you were referring to the distance jumped the correct word would be farther. I fixed that, and on your user page noticed two spelling errors but didn't correct them because I'm uncertain if it's acceptable to edit someone else's user page. The misspelled words are asterisk and entries. --Noerrorsfound 07:58, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks I guess. But if you'll notice my userboxes, all the language ones are about grammar. I pride myself on knowing which form to use when multiple forms are available, like you're your, their there, etc., and I've never been very good at spelling (and I don't really care about other forms of grammar, such as prepositions at the end of sentenses).

 * English s a crazy language, with silent letters, multiple pronunciations of letters, and unneccessary multiple forms. But it's the only language I know, and in what I've learned about French, some other languages are worse in ways. It makes me sincerely wish there was one, sensible langage that the whole world used.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Replaceable fair use Image:Oozinator.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Oozinator.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Replaceable fair use Image:Leonidas02.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Leonidas02.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — neuro  (talk)  20:29, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

It is a good day to die
"Information loss" is inherently not a good reason to revert changes to a WP:DISAMBIGUATION page. A disambiguation page should not have any information that isn't contained in the articles that it links to, because it only exists to help users navigate to those articles. If the linked articles don't actually contain any information about the phrase, it should not be linked from the disambiguation page. Propaniac (talk) 02:21, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It looks like the vast majority of those links you claim are useful are for the phrase "A good day to die" and not "It is a good day to die"; to be honest that's probably why I removed a lot of them, but I don't have time this evening to go through all of them. If they were on a disambig page called A Good Day to Die and linked to articles that discussed some meaning of that phrase, that'd be fine. Propaniac (talk) 02:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Inspector Gadget.JPG)
Thanks for uploading File:Inspector Gadget.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Leonidas02.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Leonidas02.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:21, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Sparknotes
No offense, but I've reverted your addition of Sparknotes again per WP:RS: "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." According to this criteria, Sparnotes is not a reliable source and therefore should not be utilized, no matter what is being sourced. There are many scholarly works that discuss The Red Badge of Courage and its characters, available both in print and via online (GoogleBooks, Netlibrary, etc.), so Sparknotes isn't exactly the only choice out there. :) Hope this helps, María ( habla con migo ) 21:36, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Answer to your question of vyeh's talk page
Kevin, thank you for your response on my talk page. As a matter of fact, I deleted the link to MobyGames because it looked like a pedestrian review. The guidelines I mentioned above say

 * If the page contains substantial information that is relevant but not necessarily encyclopedic in nature, a video game's page at MobyGames, Allgame or the Internet Movie Database may be added on a case by case basis.

I didn't feel the page had "substantial information."

I am sorry if I disturbed you with my message. I do plan to do an extensive overhaul of the two articles and I thought there would be less problem if I let people who were interested in the articles know about it. I checked and the articles are on less than 30 watchlists. I wish there was a way of identifying who was watchlisting the articles. Then it would be easier to figure out who was interested. I did consult with Narthring and Reyk about letting people know and Reyk said "It is good that you're asking for advice before making large-scale edits though- politeness and consideration for other editors is always a good thing."

I'm new and don't know the proper protocols. I've read the materials that Narthring provided me. I would appreciate any guidance you have. You can reply on this talk page. I have watchlisted it.

Thank you.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

Richard Montagu

Richard Montagu (or Mountague) (1577 – 13 April 1641) was an English cleric and prelate.

Early life
Montagu was born during Christmastide 1577 at Dorney, Buckinghamshire, where his father Laurence Mountague was vicar, and was educated at Eton. He was elected from Eton to a scholarship at King's College, Cambridge, and admitted on 24 August 1594. His name occurs in the list of junior fellows for the quarter Midsummer to Michaelmas 1597. He graduated BA before Lady Day 1598, MA 1602, BD 1609. He assisted Sir Henry Savile in the literary work he carried on at Eton, and the second book issued from the Eton press was his edition of The two Invectives of Gregory Nazianzen against Julian, 1610. He was also to have edited Basil the Great, but the work was never completed.

In 1610, he received the living of Wootton Courtney, Somerset; on 29 April 1613, he was admitted Fellow of Eton and in the same year received the rectory of Stanford Rivers, Essex. On 9 December 1616 he was installed Dean of Hereford, a post which he exchanged with Oliver Lloyd for a canonry of Windsor, in which he was installed on 6 September 1617. He was admitted Archdeacon of Hereford on 15 September 1617. He held also the rectory of Petworth, Sussex, where he rebuilt the parsonage, and was chaplain to the king. He held these preferments with his fellowship at Eton by dispensation from James I.

Controversial writer
On the death, in 1614, of Isaac Casaubon, with whom he had previously corresponded about the Exercitationes ad Baronii Annales (against Baronius), Montagu was directed by the King to publish the work. It appeared the same year, and in 1615 James requested him to prepare an answer to Baronius on similar lines. This work, based on studies of classical and patristic antiquity, was at first apparently held back at Archbishop George Abbot's command, but it was issued in 1622 under the title of Analecta Ecclesiasticarum Exercitationum. In the epistle dedicatory addressed to the King, Montagu states his object to be to trace the origins of Christian faith and doctrine, and show that the Anglican position was derived from the "ancient founts". Montagu's aim was to support the Church of England against its enemies. He would not recognise the foreign Reformed bodies as lawful branches of the church. He never completed the task which he had set himself.

In his Diatribae upon the first part of the late History of Tithes, 1621, he entered directly into the controversy of the day, in an attempt to beat John Selden on tithes. Controversy against Catholic teachers in his parish was answered in a pamphlet called A Gag for the New Gospel, by Matthew Kellison; he replied in ''A Gagg for the New Gospell? No. A New Gagg for an old Goose'', 1624. The 'Gagg' had contained forty-seven propositions which it attributed to the Church of England. Of these Montagu only allowed eight to be her true doctrine, again demarcating Anglican doctrine on two fronts. He also issued a defensive work, rebutting Marco Antonio de Dominis who charged Montagu with supporting "praying unto saints and angels in time of need". It proved a magnet for controversy, with answer after answer coming from the presses. There was a complaint from two East Anglian ministers, John Yates and Nathaniel Ward; Ward had been overseas to 1624, and it was a few years later that he became vicar of Stondon Massey, close to Stanford Rivers in Essex, and one of Thomas Hooker's anti-Laudian group. The House of Commons referred the book to Abbot. Abbot applied for authority to the King, and remonstrated with Montagu. But James himself approved of his work. "If that is to be a Papist" he said, "so am I a Papist". The matter did not rest with the King's death.

Appello
Controversy around Montagu's positions played an important part in the period 1625–9, both in publications and in political moves, and was one of the issues setting the tone for the reign of Charles I. Montagu had the open support of three bishops (John Buckeridge, John Howson, and William Laud). His Appello Caesarem: a just Appeale from two unjust Informers (London, 1625) came out with an imprimatur from Francis White, dean of Carlisle, after George Abbot's refusal to license it. It was partly written in self-justification, but also attacked some Calvinist tenets, including the perseverance of the saints. Francis Rous defended double predestination against Montagu in Testis Veritatis (1626).

The House of Commons took up the matter, and accused the author of dishonouring the late King (James I). A debate on the matter was followed by Montagu's committal to the custody of the serjeant-at-arms. He was, however, allowed to return to Stanford Rivers on giving a bond. Charles then made Montagu one of his chaplains, and let the Commons know on 9 July that he was displeased. On 11 July parliament was prorogued. On 2 August, when the parliament was sitting at Oxford, Montagu was too ill to attend, and after discussion in which Edward Coke and Robert Heath took part, the matter was allowed to drop. But the question was too serious to rest for long. On 16 and 17 January 1626 a conference was held by Charles's command, as the result of which the bishops of London (George Montaigne), Durham (Richard Neile), Winchester (Lancelot Andrewes), Rochester (Buckeridge), and St. David's (Laud) reported to George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham that Montagu had not gone further than the doctrine of the Church of England, or what was compatible with it.

York House Conference
The January meeting was followed shortly by a watershed conference beginning 11 February, prompted by Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick in Buckingham's house, York House, Strand, and later called the York House conference. It took place with the Bishop of Lichfield (Thomas Morton) and the master of Emmanuel College, Cambridge (John Preston), representing the opposition to Montagu and Francis White. Buckeridge, supported by White and John Cosin, defended Montagu's orthodoxy. Buckeridge even denied that the Council of Trent had erred in any directly fundamental article of faith. A second conference was held a few days later, at which Montagu defended his theses in person against Morton and Preston. The two days of discussion, attended by nobility, changed no minds.

Subsequent developments
The committee of religion renewed their censure of the Appeal, and the House of Commons voted a petition to the King that the author might be fitly punished and his book burned. The King issued a proclamation (14 June 1626) commanding silence on points of controversy. In March 1628 the House of Commons again appointed a committee of religion to inquire into the cases of Montagu, Roger Mainwaring, and Cosin.

Montagu still had the strongest supporters at court in Laud and Buckingham himself; and on the death of George Carleton, bishop of Chichester and an opponent, he was appointed to the vacant see. He was elected on 14 July 1628 and received dispensation to hold Petworth with his bishopric. On 22 August Montagu was confirmed in Bow Church. During the ceremony one Jones, a stationer, made objection to the confirmation but the objection was over-ruled as informal; and on 24 August he was consecrated at Croydon, on the same day that news came of Buckingham's assassination. A bitter pamphlet, called Anti-Montacutum, an Appeale or Remonstrance of the Orthodox Ministers of the Church of England against Richard Mountague, was published in 1629 at Edinburgh. The House of Commons again took up the matter, and attempts were made at conciliation, by the issue of the declaration prefixed to the Thirty-nine Articles and printed in the Book of Common Prayer, by a letter from Montagu to Abbot disclaiming Arminianism, by the grant of a special pardon to Montagu, and by the issue of a proclamation suppressing the Appello Caesarem.

Bishop
In his diocese Montagu lived at Aldingbourne and Petworth. His process to recover the estate and manor of Selsey, Sussex was decided against him by Robert Heath, now chief justice, in the common pleas, in 1635. He was still engaged in his research into ecclesiastical history, and published several treatises. In 1638 he was at work on a book on the Eucharistic Sacrifice, which he submitted to the approval of Laud. He was also apparently at this time much mixed up in the tortuous negotiations with the papacy which were conducted through Gregorio Panzani; at the same time Montagu was asking licence for his son to visit Rome, and the matter became in the hands of William Prynne a plausible accusation of romanising.

On the translation of Matthew Wren, bishop of Norwich, to Ely, Montagu was appointed to the vacant see. He was elected on 4 May 1638, and the election received the royal assent on 9 May. He had long been suffering from a quartan ague, as well as gout and kidney stones. He was again attacked in the House of Commons on 23 February 1641 on account of a petition from the inhabitants of St. Peter Mancroft, Norwich, against an inhibition directed by the bishop against Mr. Carter, parson of that parish, and a commission was appointed to consider his offences. Before any further steps were taken, he died on 13 April 1641, and was buried in Norwich Cathedral.

Works
Besides works already mentioned, Montagu wrote:

 * Antidiatribae ad priorern partem diatribes J. Caesaris Bulengeri, Cambridge, 1625.
 * Eusebii de Demonstratione Evangelica libri decem ... omnia studio R. M. Latine facta, notis illustrata, 1628.
 * Apparatus ad Origines Ecclesiasticas, Oxford, 1635.
 * De Originibus Ecclesiasticis, first part, London, 1636; second part, London, 1640.
 * Articles of Inquiry put forth at his Primary Visitation as Bishop of Norwich (unauthorised), Cambridge, 1638; (corrected by the bishop), London, 1638; new edition, Cambridge, 1841.
 * Acts and Monuments of the Church, London, 1642.
 * Versio et Notae in Photii Epistolas, London, 1651.

Athletics at the 1900 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metres

The men's 200 metres was a sprinting event on the athletics programme at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris. It was held on July 22, 1900, well after most of the rest of the athletics events. The 1900 Games were the first time the 200 metres was contested. The races were held on a track of 500 metres in circumference. Eight athletes from seven nations competed. The event was won by Walter Tewksbury of the United States. Norman Pritchard of India took silver while Australian Stan Rowley earned bronze.

Background
This was the first appearance of the event, which was not held at the first Olympics in 1896 but has been on the program ever since. American Walter Tewksbury had taken silver in the shorter sprint events in 1900 (the 60 metres and 100 metres), but the winners of those events did not compete in the 200 metres; he had also won the 400 metres hurdles. Stan Rowley of Australia had finished third in both of those events as well. Norman Pritchard of India had finished second in the 200 metres hurdles, beating Tewksbury who finished third.

The seven nations that contested the first 200 metres race were Australia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Norway, and the United States.

Competition format
There were two rounds, semifinals and a final. The top two runners in each of the two semifinals advanced to the final. The "track" was a grass field with a 500 metre long course winding through trees.

Records
These were the standing world and Olympic records (in seconds) prior to the 1900 Summer Olympics.

 * unofficial

Bill Holland set the first Olympic record when he won the first heat of the first round in 24.0 seconds. In the final Walter Tewksbury set a new Olympic record with 22.2 seconds.

Semifinals
In the semifinals, there were two heats. The top two runners in each advanced to the final.

Semifinal 1
The first heat was an easy win for Holland.

Semifinal 2
Rowley beat Tewksbury by about a foot, and neither of the other two runners were close.

Final
Tewksbury passed Pritchard in the second half of the race and crossed the finish line 2½ yards clear of the field, with Pritchard half a yard ahead of Rowley, and Rowley six inches ahead of Holland, who was last in the final despite improving his time by over a second.

Talk:Saint Jacques Street

Name of this article
Am I alone in finding the new name of this article — Saint Jacques (Saint James) Street — unfortunate, to say the least?

The article should bear the name of the street: Saint-Jacques. That it once was called Saint James is fine, and should be mentioned in the article. The only question is whether it should be rue Saint-Jacques or Saint-Jacques Street. (For what it is worth, I have no problems with Saint-Jacques Street.)

The way it stands, we have a hybrid article name that does not reflect reality. Honestly, who is going to look up an article called Saint Jacques Saint James? — Grstain 21:55, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * I have moved it to "Saint Jacques Street". This conforms with the Anglophone practice of dropping the hyphens and using English generics. Usage is split in English between Saint Jacques and Saint James, however, because the two names are very different (unlike Mountain/de la Montagne), the article should use the English form of the official name. Although "Jacques" is a translation of "James", the difference between the two is too great to support using just the English name (as can be done with Saint Lawrence, Saint Catherine, Mountain, etc...). However, it I believe the street should be referred to as "Saint James (now Saint-Jacques) Street" when used in a historical context, because the street, under the name "Saint James", was once the financial centre of Canada. Really, the two names represent two different ideas. Saint James was Canada's Wall Street. Saint Jacques is now a central street of Old Montreal. The street really has a "dual personality", which is why I thought both names should be in the title. As for someone looking it up, they would be redirected from "Saint Jacques Street", "Saint James Street", Saint-Jacques Street"... but I agree the title is cumbersome, which is why I moved it. Now, however, I am uncertain if this was right. We should wait until the issue has been resolved at Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Montreal/Discussions/English Names before deciding if the move is final. --Larineso 00:49, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Proposed correction of content
Saint James street as a term used to refer to Canada's financial sector is in fact nineteenth and early twentieth century usage. The Toronto stock exchange outgrew that of Montreal shortly before World War I by aggressively financing the mines of northern Ontario. From that time the Toronto exchange and Bay street have continued to grow at a faster rate than the Montreal Exchange and Saint James street. This trend accelerated even more after World War II, and not in the seventies due to the rise of separatism. Montreal as a major financial centre was already in serious decline then. --Dmy 02:47, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Nonetheless, it was the threat of Separation and, more importantly, the very strong opposition to English in business which in part characterized the early years of the Separatist movement, which drove many companies and people to hit the 401, as they say.

 * Why and when did Standard Life, Sears Canada, The Hudson's Bay Company and others, including even The Bank of Montreal (really quite pathetically located on Queen St W) move?

 * Of course, it is worth mentioning that the decline caused by the threat to English companies is separate from the decline that caused St James St to be eclipsed by Bay St. However, with St James St as a symbol of Montreal's powerful economy, it is easy to be confused. Feel free to correct the information. -Larineso 03:28, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * In all the cases you mention, the bulk of operations were in fact already in Toronto long before the seventies. Moving the head offices was purely symbolic.

 * In my view, it's extremely important to be lucid about the effects of separatism and the language police in the province of Quebec. This means avoiding dramatising facts. Standard Life is a very good example in that it was the most publicized move in the seventies, and even at the time, reporting on this event acknowledged that the offices in Montreal had only held a symbolic status before the move. --Dmy 10:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Considering that Toronto only began to take off after the St. Lawrence Seaway opened in 1960, I find it quite difficult to accept you statement that they had based their operations there "for decades". At the most, it was one decade, although most in fact were based in Montreal, and not just nominally. Also, ask yourself: would they have moved their headquarters to Toronto in the 1970s had Quebec been a fully integrated, stable part of Canada? It is true that they might have moved, albeit much later, due to Toronto's economic rise. The reason why they moved in the 70s is, in part, the instability created by the Sovereignty movement. How could these Canadian companies remain in Quebec when it looked like Quebec was no longer going to be part of Canada?

 * The fact that Toronto was an appealing place to move to only made it easier to move, it wasn't the motivation. --Larineso 21:05, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Untrue. As I wrote, it is a fact that the Toronto stock exchange became more significant than the one in Montreal early in the 20th century. They made a fortune out of financing the mines in northern Ontario, investments that staid St James Street didn't want to touch. Also, from an economic point of view, Toronto was the fastest growing city in North America in the 1950s - before the St Lawrence Seaway opened. Finally, the sovereignty movement was a catalyst, nothing more. --Dmy 10:32, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
