Butler and Marcas

Greetings, Agus ferrocarril! Thanks for your kind comment about Z. Marcas, and thank you for pointing out my silly mistake in leaving out the citation for Butler's book about the French Revolution! (I can't believe no one mentioned that during Peer Review or the Featured Article process.) I have added the citation to the article, but here it is for your convenience as well:

Butler, Ronnie. Balzac and the French Revolution. Kent: Croom Helm Ltd., 1983. ISBN 0-7099-3208-1.

I hope you'll forgive my curiosity, but I'd love to know why you chose to traduce this particular article? Cheers. Scartol • Tok 16:32, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Excellent! I've actually worked on a number of articles about books by Honoré de Balzac. You may also be interested in the pages about his books Louis Lambert (novel), Le Père Goriot, and La Peau de chagrin. I wish I could help, but the only other language I have any knowledge of is French. Good luck and have fun! Scartol • Tok 17:43, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

34.2 in the Gilroy citation refers to the volume and issue numbers of the publication in which that article appears. In the case of Gilroy, his article "The Theme of Women in Balzac's La Cousine Bette" appeared in the 2nd issue of the 34th volume of the journal Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature. Thus we write "34.2" in the citation.. A similar pattern is used to indicate the volume and issue of Jameson's article. Scartol • Tok 19:06, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks kindly! I wish you the same joyful season. Scartol • Tok 15:49, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Olympic

Formation and early years

• The name was chosen by James Edmondson, the club's first treasurer, and is believed to have been inspired by the recent excavation of Olympia, site of the ancient Olympic Games. It's referenced by Phythian, p. 7?
  • Yes, that's right -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:27, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Decline and colapse

• In 1886 the club's committee was forced to reduce the players' wages to a quarter of what was being offered by Preston North End. Why it is comparing with the PNE? It's because some players went to play there?
  • Simply because PNE were the top club in the area. It shows how much worse Olympic's wages were compared to the top club in the area. Hope that makes sense -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:27, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Rivalries

• The rivalry became especially fierce in September 1884, when, amid accusations that the clubs were using underhand tactics in attempts to "poach" each others' star players, the Rovers' secretary sent a telegram to his opposite number stating that his club would play no matches against Olympic in the 1884–85 season. It's referenced by Phythian, pp. 63-66?
