The first line of the HISTORY section states: "The club was originally developed by a syndicate in the early 1920's, a principal member of which was Los Angeles oil millionaire Alphonzo Bell, Sr., AFTER WHOM THE CLUB IS NAMED TODAY. How can that be possible, if the name of the club is The Riviera Country Club? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrsstix ( talk • contribs) 00:03, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi - in news reports on the recent expansion of the Westgate Bridge, I saw that there's a huge workspace beneath the upper deck - can anyone provide an account of what that space is like? With pictures maybe?

A question from the German reference desk: A graduate student has contacted an American professor re job opportunities, using the address "Dear Professor <last name>". The profesor has replied "Dear <first name>". What would be considered the proper way of addressing the professor from there? Greets 85.180.199.217 ( talk) 14:49, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Note also, that the gender of the professor has not been stipulated here. If you wish to go with a shorter salutation, then 'Dear sir' or 'Dear madam' are both perfectly acceptable. Of course, 'Dear Professor [surname]' would be the best way to continue, in my opinion. KägeTorä - (影虎) ( TALK) 23:47, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
I happened to come by this web page: [3]
Who are the two people on the first image? I can identify the people on the three others:

You might, given the robes, expect the Spanish Inquisition, but it's actually Michael Palin. μηδείς ( talk) 22:43, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I was watching The Battle of the Bulge this afternoon and noticed one of the German motorcycle riders had something hanging round his neck which I couldn't identify.
It wasn't the gas mask cylinder - it looked more like a large, almost crescent-shaped piece of lead. (But it probably wasn't actually that).
I found a photo showing what I'm trying to identify although I have no idea how to embed it within this question.
so here's the URL: http://www.motorleathers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/german-style-dot-helmet-1.jpg
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.97.213.78 ( talk) 22:49, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
WOW, thanks guys. It seems my original guess wasn't a zillion miles out. That word is now going to sit in the part of my brain which fails to recall the name for the dot above the letter i and other seldom-used things. (Now, how do I mark this as 'solved'?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.97.213.78 ( talk) 23:14, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
