message: Is this article noteworthy? It isn't a new species it is just one example of a known species that was missing body parts. Hardly seems notable. It seems like sensationalist media jumping to conclusions before science can properly weigh in. There are many many cases of mistaken identity each day.

replies: text: Yes but this is NOT a new species. It was a silly case of mistaken identity. It was a known species that was missing tentacles so someone thought it was new. This is not a page about an undescribed known species, it is a page about someone's minor identification mistake.

Category talk:Beanie Babies

message: I have proposed a new WikiProject on Beanie Babies. The purpose of the project is to write or include existing articles about various beanie babies and their impact on society.
Writing a single article for each beanie baby is not possible and not practical. There have been more than 1500 different beanie babies made by Ty to date. Rather, the purpose of this project is to include articles about the most noteable ones of all, those that impacted society during the heat of the fad. These may include:
*The most valuable ones, such as Peking, Chilly, or Humphrey
*Those that had rare versions that were considered valuable, like Peanut or Quackers
*Those that were highly sought after, like Lefty, Righty, or Garcia
*Those that benefitted a charity, like Princess or Ariel.
There could be other articles on groups of beanie babies. Some examples are:
*Clubby (Beanie Babies)
*The Original Nine
*Canadian Exclusives
*Teenie Beanies
*Lists of beanies in a category, i.e. List of Beanie Baby Dogs, List of Beanie Baby Sports Bears
Entry of name (Beanie Baby) for anything in that group would redirect to the group's page.
There could alsio be articles on:
*News events relating to Beanie Babies
*Concepts pertaining to Beanie Babies (i.e. Retirement (Beanie Babies)
Whoever creates or edits these articles should strive to provide photos whenever possible. Some photos are rare beanies may be hard to obtain. Xyz7890 23:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I have added a bare-bones history of video editing.  I didn't want to go into a lot of detail, since Wikipedia already has major articles on linear and non-linear editing techniques.

thread_title: Refereneces

message: Wikipedia has at least two articles on "non-destructive editing": this one and Non-linear editing system.  That other article is focussed on editing video in ways that doesn't involve chopping up tap reels.  A second topic worth covering is the non-destructive editing for 2D images done by PhotoShop since CS3 and done by current development versions of GIMP.
Is there just those two topics?  Can the video bits of this article be moved over to Non-linear editing system and then this article be refocussed on editing 2D images?  Are their other types of data that gets edited in layered ways with the final product being regenerated each time without the original source data being permanently modified?

Talk:Anu (disambiguation)

message: In The Papyrus of Ani (The Egyptian Book of the Dead), 240 BC, translated by E.A. Wallis Budge, I found this passage: "Thou art the Prince of divine food in Anu". I'm wondering if Anu is also the name of an Egyptian god, independent of those listed.

Talk:Twisted Metal III

message: There is a considerable amount of information posted in the Development section of this page that has nothing to do with the development of the game.  Most of the information pertains to how the game was recieved by critics and fans, so I have moved it to the Reception section of the page where it belongs.
I'm sure we can all agree that statements involving public opinion about a product after it's release obviously had no bearing in the pre-release development of said product.  After all, a video game does have to be developed before it can be critiqued.
So can we please restrict posting of public opinion to the reception section?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.229.213 (talk) 20:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Attachment Therapy/Proposed decision

message: I note with great concern that no sanction is yet proposed for "RalphLender".
To recap, the "RalphLender" account has co-warred indistinguishably from DPeterson and his other 4 socks, has engaged in the same smears and rhetoric, has moved to the same articles at the same time to co-war with DPeterson against the same "opponents" on many (not just a few) articles and occasions, and is very strongly linked by behavior as the same person.
Checkuser matching is almost superfluous to ID these accounts as either the same user, or at least as indistinguishable POV-war accounts.  Their behavior and behavioral evidence, along with the known mass creation of socks already, with the checkuser's comment that there have already been persistent attempts visible in the existing socks to keep them segregated, is sufficient to evidence this, and in the past users have been identified as socks and indef removed on similar or less behavioral evidence.
With all respect to the private discussions of the committee, it would presently be incomprehensible to me if these two accounts were not treated, as they have warred, the same.

message: To include past/present forecast data is to invite bias from supporters/detractors. The BusinessWeek reference is a case in point: it's patently unfair to focus on nine select years when the publication has been in print for more than three decades. Then there's the more practical issue of keeping "current" forecasts current, which would demand updated edits at least once per month -- not a sound way to have a stable encyclopedic entry. Finally, this is a subscription publication -- each issue includes copyright stipulations that forbid "continuous and regular dissemination of specific forecasts or strategies."

Talk:Micah (prophet)

message: :: The prophet's name, in its elongated form "Micaiahu", is commonly translated "Who is like Yahweh?" or possibly, "He who is like Yahweh",
: 
If you simply delete the question mark, so that it says "Who is like Yahweh", with no question mark, then it means the same thing as "He who is like Yahweh", except that in recent decades that particular bit of English usage seems to have been forgotten.  English dictionaries published in the 19th century would, for example, say that "invisible" means "that cannot be seen", so that an invisible thing is a thing "that cannot be seen".  Likewise if Micah means "who is like Yahweh", then a person to whom that adjective is ascribed would be a person "who is like Yahweh".  In other words, "who is like Yahweh" is not a question.  But speakers of current 21st-century English often seem unaware of that, and so they think that "who is like Yahweh" is a question and put a question mark there.

replies: text: Good catch. Neither the biblical text nor any of the half dozen or so commentaries I just looked at dare to guess when he was born. The time span when he prophesized overlapped the reigns of 3 kings, so he would have been alive at least in those years. How old he was when called as a prophet is not made known AFAIK. The time frame in the article of 740-670 BCE for his prophesying spans 70 years. It seems best to eliminate the birth and death times from the infobox.—Telpardec  TALK  03:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cast list 

message: The film is an American production of course but there are examples of US English used instead of the culturally and historically accurate UK English. Dickens' story is set in 19th century England with a set of largely English/British characters who would never have used US English. We all know the reason for this, don't we? The film's director will spout the excuse as being that American viewers would simply not understand some elements of British English and its terms etc. No excuse whatsoever in my book. UK audiences have for decades grown to understand US terms etc. If US viewers get a little confused well then, tough, let them learn that there are other versions of our common language apart the one spoken by Uncle Sam. After all, us ‘limeys’ ‘invented’ the language.
* The word 'clerk' was uttered in US parlance as 'clurk' instead of the UK pronunciation 'clark'.
* The US Christmas expression 'Happy Holidays' was also included. This would never have been used in the UK and even less so in Dickens' time.
