Broomball at Michigan Tech
It has been suggested that Broomball at Michigan Tech be merged into the broomball article. Is there anything you can do to substantiate Broomball at Michigan Tech's notability? Mjf3719 (talk) 13:29, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, I would agree that Broomball at Michigan Tech should be merged to either broomball or Michigan Tech. While it certainly is a big deal at da Tech, it's not particularly notable. Broomball is an IM sport at many other universities (I've played it at three others myself). -- dcclark (talk) 16:09, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Where did the copper come from?
I notice in your latest edit of Copper mining in Michigan that you changed the wording to read that the Calumet Conglomerate had been worked out when UOP bought the company in 1968. The question then arises: from where were the miners extracting the copper until they went on strike later that year? I was going to school there in the early 1970s, when Homestake Mining began dewatering the Tamarack shaft (I think it was) to evaluate the workings. Was Homestake unaware that the conglomerate had been worked out? Your info might have saved them the trouble! I suspect that you may be erroneously assuming that the orebody was completely exhausted. Cheers. Plazak (talk) 01:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Plazak -- I was referring to the fact that C&H had closed all of its original workings on the conglomerate by that time. I suppose that it is too broad to say that the entire conglomerate bed was worked out -- we still don't know that today. Although as I recall, nothing ever came from the various Homestake explorations... -- dcclark (talk) 03:35, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, I clarified those edits to say that the original mines (i.e. the great Calumet, Hecla, and South Hecla shafts) had been abandoned. But certainly by the late 60's, C&H was only actually extracting ore from Ahmeek, Kingston, and a couple others, none of them on the Calumet conglomerate. -- dcclark (talk) 03:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * One last comment -- Homestake dewatered several shafts in the 70's, but I don't think the Tamaracks were ever cleared out. There was Centennial (supposedly an offshoot of the Conglomerate at depth) and Mesnard at Quincy. -- dcclark (talk) 03:45, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You are no doubt right that it was the Centennial shaft I must have been thinking about. That was a while ago.  Plazak (talk) 04:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Say what? Are you talking about the years-old discussion at Pasty? -- dcclark (talk) 02:26, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes i am. Have you visited the site? If so tell me what you thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinghenrimck (talk • contribs) 16:47, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

You asked what evidence the devoners have that the pasty originated from Devon. I advise you to visitor. Please contact me and tell me what you think of it. Thank you. From Robert Magerbie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinghenrimck (talk • contribs) 16:40, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I've had nothing to do with that discussion for a very long time. That said, the first site is largely incomprehensible, and the second one clearly is just talking about one fellow's opinion. Please, stop bothering me with this silliness. -- dcclark (talk) 18:56, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello its me again. I have recently found out that you are a yank. What do you know about are country? You don't just go round writting things that you don't know shit about. If your not sure about something, keep your trap shut. Ow and tell some of your mates to stop buying are footy clubs.(Kinghenrimck (talk) 19:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC))
 * I have added a personal attack warning on your talk page. Now to respond: I am from the Copper Country, a mining region where thousands of Cornish miners moved in the mid 19th century. Pasties are extremely popular here to this day. Also see my editing history on Pasty. -- dcclark (talk) 22:53, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

If it wasnt for Devoners then America would have nether been founded (because of the Mayflower which sailed from Plymouth). So if you if your going to be bias be bias towards Devon. --Kinghenrimck (talk) 17:17, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Two-course pasties
Hi - I am not a Wikipedia contributor except that I provided photos of the two-course pasty to someone in New Zealand and he put them on the Pasty article.

I run the web site called " The Cornish Pasty & Pastypaedia The Cornish Pasty & Pastypaedia", and I have several pages there about pasties with "afters", as my mother used to call them. I have also made them (I am now 66 yrs. old, and male).

I recently added a new web page about the commercial version: Morrisons Tin Miner Pasty - sold in supermarkets.

I am merely pointing out that these pasties are real and have been all my life - they are not make believe!

I have to apologise for the guy who realised late that "you are a Yank", also for his spelling and grammar!

What is your PhD about? Mine was "Cryogenic fixation for electron microscopy" (short title), in 1991.

If you want to contact me, email is best: kpryan @ btinternet.com (no gaps.

Best wishes - Keith Ryan, Plymouth UK.

PS - I saw something about Devon vs Cornwall and comment that the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth, Devon, UK. This is true, but only after the ship put in for repairs to storm damage. It actually sailed from Southampton!
