thread_title: Merge

message: The following is unsourced information:
* A theremin was used in the soundtrack of the film
* Earth vs. The Spider was featured in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
* In the opening credits the word "starring" is spelled as "staring".
* In the movie, when the Sheriff gives the order to have DDT sprayed on the spider, the Tarantula continues to walk forward even as they clearly spray the DDT through a hose onto it, despite the fact that all spiders are very sensitive to smell. In reality, the spider would have shied back before running away.
* In the movie the spider is stored in the high school auditorium for viewing, filling 1/4 of the auditorium. When it awakens and escapes it is seen walking through downtown and is bigger than a two-story building.
* The spider expert refers to the spider as being an insect throughout the film.
* The spider expert believes the DDT killed the spider and has it brought to the high school auditorium to be viewed by other scientists. The spider is clearly sprawled out. In real life, spiders killed by sprays curl up rather than sprawling out.
* The film was shot in the Carlsbad Caverns of Carlsbad, New Mexico and on the same stage set at Universal Studios where the original Psycho was filmed. In fact, if you look closely in the background as the spider expert drives home to check on the safety of his family, the house used in Psycho can be seen.
* The film is mentioned by Para-Medic in the 2004 video game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
* In the Disney movie Lilo & Stitch there is a scene where Stitch stops to look at a TV inside a display window of a shop and the TV is showing a scene from this film.
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 12:38, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Interstate 55 in Tennessee

message: There has been a bit of an edit war on the I-269 page, with the dust settling on a claim that Wikipedia should not recognize the extension of the interstate designation as official until there is documentation that TDOT has recognized the change, even if federal approvals have been granted.
This begs the question: for I-69 in Tennessee, is there any documentation in support of TDOT recognizing the designation as official?  It's obviously been approved by AASHTO and FHWA; TDOT is almost certainly going to sign it as such if/when the new sections get built.  But at the moment, I don't see any documentation that TDOT officially agrees that the overlap section of I-55/I-240/I-40/SR 300 really is I-69 today.  There's just a bunch of internet lore, much of it referencing Wikipedia, that TDOT will sign it "someday".

message: this photo is of the earths atmosphere and the moon. if you take a closer look at the lower portion of the moon ( i mean zoom in ) you will see a small white thing with a line underneath of it. it seems to be somethings taking off into space or beaming down. while zoomed in you will notice the white thing has different pixels then the rest of the photo this suggests whatever the photo did show might have been to much for us by nasa's standards.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.174.196.222 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 17 July 2007

Talk:Harry Roberts (inventor)

message: I removed this:
:Roberts was portrayed by Nick Briggs in the Big Finish audio play The Mutant Phase. Big Finish did not pay Roberts' estate, as they felt they could probably get away with it.
It's fairly obviously vandalism once you look into it: the casting isn't confirmed by the page on the audio play, and the same anon added various other Doctor Who related "facts" to a number of random pages on the same day. The second sentence is an odd bit of editorializing.

I haven't made any changes to the content of the article; however, I have made some changes to the page by creating sections for the article. As you will see, the changes I've made have involved identifying sections which outline his history as an activist, and the different phases of his activism.

Talk:Requiem (Lloyd Webber)

message: Ok, so I'm pretty sure Webber's Requiem and "Pie Jesu" was more of a hit than you make it seem in the article. The work is obviously not that weak if it won the 1986 Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition. Also, I think "Pie Jesu" was more than a "minor hit," especially if it is still being performed and recorded by people today, and it is still a popular classical song in the music world. It's more than minor and it's far from weak. I'm a music major, so I know a little about music. Just something to consider. :)

Talk:Heather Cerveny

message: a  tag was added to this article on February 26 2008.
The edit summary asks a rhetorical question rather than offer a explanation: 
FWIW our rhetorical questioner seems to be overlooking that not only did Cerveny have off-duty JTF-GTMO staff brag to her about routine abuse of the captives, but:
#Cerveny and her boss, Colby Vokey, had gag orders imposed on them.
#An official inquiry was ordered into her report.
I am going to encourage the contributor who added the tag to refrain from placing rhetorical questions in edit summaries.  Rhetorical questions, like this one, suggest the answer is "obvious".  Nothing is "obvious".  
The use of a rhetorical question here gives the appearance the wikipedian who added the tag is trying to suggest that this affidavit was unimportant, when they didn't have any substantive arguments to back up that suggestion.
Are affidavits always important?  No, of course not.  People swear affidavits for for things like observing traffic accidents, or swearing they got food poisoning at restaurants.  Was Cerveny's affidavit "important"?  That is a judgment call.  It is not up to us wikipedia contributors to make judgment calls over matters like this.  However, that her affadavit was very widely reported, and was commented upon by legal scholars does not require a judgment call.
The wikipedia contributor who placed this tag has questioned, on another talk page, whether this article should exist. 
I think that its deletion would be a grave disservice to readers.  After reading about the affidavit it would be natural to want to read about its author.  And the best place to read about the author would be in an article devoted to the author.  
Some mergists would argue that what we know about Cerveny should be covered in some other article.  Personally I disagree with general claim of this sort by mergists.  Ignoring the other strong arguments against the mergist design methodology, let me point out that there is no good candidate where what we know about Cerveny belongs.  Every other article a mergist might try to shoehorn this information into would be a bad choice and a disservice to readers.
I am going to repeat myself.  I am going to urge the wikipedian who added this tag to put real substantive arguments in their edit summaries, not rhetorical tricks.

Indeed, such a movement is not mentioned in the article on Korean shamanism.  Unless this has some reliable sources it should probably be removed.

message: While reading about Romansch, I was redirected to the German Wikipedia entry on Heinrich Schmid (as opposed to the English version).  I can read German and looked over that article, then clicked to see what was here on the English site.

So, I went ahead and translated over the German article to this one, the English entry.  I realize the English article still needs a lot of work (I'm a native English speaker but it's a stilted translation--hard not to just write the German over again!) and some formatting, but I figured it was more important to get the information over from the other article rather than to leave nothing since it's not in Wikipedia format.
