Talk:List of authors by name: S

message: What prevents non-notable authors from adding their name to this list?  (I found this page after examining the contribs of a non-notable author who added a page for her book.) - Aagtbdfoua 15:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As Aagt...'s question insinuates, and as their parenthetical comment stands as evidence, the answer is "Nothing can prevent it!" Nevertheless, the diligence of editors who emulate Aagt...'s good example by correcting the list accordingly has the long-run effect of discouraging not only such authors, but (probably more significantly) discouraging fans who think themselves to be the heralds of a renaisance in literature, specifically by reverting, and thereby helping to demonstrate how futile evidence-free assertions of significance.--Jerzy•t 10:57, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

# ... i found that a careless or easily confused editor(s) has (or have) demonstrated that alphabetization is a nontrival skill that can fail badly without concentration and a (perhaps old-fashioned) well-drilled command of one's alphabet's sequence.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I'm not sure how this new mapping system works, but it seems unacceptable to me that a map image  labelled "Mira River in Nova Scotia", with a dot showing that river's location, links to a generic "Canada Nova Scotia location map 2.svg" map with no dot and no label naming the Mira River.  I sincerely hope this is not the new standard, as it defies logic that someone would want to take the time to load a larger map that gives LESS pertinant information!
Perhaps someone thinks this is a rational policy, as I also arrived at the same generic map from the Cape Breton Island page.
(Good page overall, though.  I mean no criticism of the editors, but I do believe there is some deficiency in the new system if this is what it produces.)    Heavenlyblue (talk) 00:16, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Berne Trial

message: Yours truly,--Ludvikus 16:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In Chicago, in the USA, in 1934, a 300 page greatly expanded edition of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion was published by a so-called "The Patriotic Publishing Co." I suspect it too was the work of the Nazis in Germany - but that's my own circumstantial speculation. I own a first edition of this imprint. It has at least two (2) un-American characteristics: the Table of Contents, dubbed an "Index", is in the back instead of up front, as is and was the custom or practice in the USA. Incidentally, this rather large expansion is made possible by incorporating substantial material from Henry Ford's the International Jew. --Ludvikus (talk) 14:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Cependant, je pense qu'il faudrait être dans un hotspot pour la partie échanges, sinon j'apporterai pas mon fidèle compagnon (mon laptop) pour rien. Dans le coin, on a l'embarras du choix, mais je sais pas si tout le monde vient souper ET échanges, ou si certains viennent juste aux échanges, auquel cas il faut avoir un lieu fixe et pas changer.

replies: text: It is suggested that long articles be split into smaller articles to form a series. This has already been done as you might have noticed with the navbox on the right-hand side of the article. Splitting this article up further would only serve to make what is already a big navbox even larger and would hinder the navigability of the list.
