Talk:Serangoon Garden

message: I live in Serangoon Gardens, and I rarely see super cars or "trend setters", etc. Also, a lot of the recent additions make broad-sweeping claims with no citations nor substantiation, and also transform the page from being of encyclopaedic quality to that of a travel brochure.

message: What is the "correct" (or most commonly used) name of the neighborhood? The article inconsistently refers to it as Serangoon Garden (singular), Serangoon Gardens (plural) as well as Serangoon Garden Estate (with capital e).
"Official" or government-named entities seem to prefer Serangoon Garden (singular):
* Serangoon Garden Way
* Draft Master Plan 2013 brochure published by the Urban Redevelopment Authority
* Singapore Post - Serangoon Garden Branch
* Serangoon Garden Neighbourhood Police Post
* Serangoon Garden Market & Food Centre
* Serangoon Garden Secondary School
Whereas privately owned entities seem to prefer Serangoon Gardens (plural):
* Serangoon Gardens Country Club
* OCBC Serangoon Gardens Branch
* Standard Chartered Bank Branch @ Serangoon Gardens
* HSBC Serangoon Gdns Branch
Though there are exceptions:
* UOB Branch - Serangoon Garden Branch
Serangoon Garden Estate (with capital e) seems to be mostly used by real-estate agents. ehn (talk) 05:58, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

If anyone out there has access to Savage & Yeoh, that would be a place to start. They're usually quite the authority on this, and more often than not, they're careful to be specific about these things.

According to Slipmatt's YouTube upload notes Do That Dance was released in 1988, and according to Discogs it was released in 1989.

Talk:Hugh Rodham (born 1911)

message: Question: regarding his foray into politics, the page on Chicago Mayor Richard Daley states that he was first elected in 1955, but this article says that Rodham ran for alderman in 1947 during Daley's reign. 
Alan B25 (talk) 12:30, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for bringing this up.  Daley did have a big influence in Chicago machine politics in the years prior to his becoming mayor, and also the machine existed well before Daley came on the scene.  But according to the Cohen and Taylor 2000 biography American Pharaoh, as of 1947 Daley's machine power was mostly in terms of the 11th Ward.  And Rodham ran in the 49th Ward.  So I've reworded the article text to replace Daley with a more generic reference to the Cook County Democratic machine, and I've also added some more details about the 1947 election.

It also did not make sense as written in this page.

File talk:Motherspridefeldstein.jpg

message: Fair use rationale:
It was determined not to use images illustrating Al Feldstein's years with Mad since the Wikipedia page about Mad is sufficient in that it is crowded with eight images.
Paintings and other works of visual art. For critical commentary, including images illustrative of a particular technique or school.
Following the legal standard of "fair use," a full description of Feldstein's years as a fine artist was added to the profile. To illustrate this with a single "fair use" painting, (a) permission was requested from the artist, (b) permission was granted, (c) research involved an examination of all of Feldstein's landscape, wildlife and Western paintings to choose a single representative image, (d) image uploaded with "art" tag as requested by Wikipedia, (e) copyright notice placed on image page to protect Feldstein's artwork, (f) image was positioned adjacent to appropriate copy to amplify the "fair use."
Thus, copy and image are allied to make the "fair use" readily apparent. Pepso 01:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Talk:33rd parallel north

message: Would someone please add the significance of the 33rd parallel. It is critically important since JFK, and Roosevelt both died at this specific geographic location - at least around this region of high occult powers. 
Also, the pyramids are located at the 33rd parallel, and so is the rumoured Atlantis of antiquity.
:Unlikely.  We'd need a reputable source for that.  Good luck!  - Crosbiesmith 08:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I recently read something interesting about the 33rd parallel. I doubt that it is reputable as the author continually mentioned star gates in an off hand manner as if their existence is taught in schools. But it is a fact that it is a part of underground (I don't know what to call it) theory(?). I Among other things he mentioned that many pyramid and mound building cultures lived along the 33rd parallel, that some notable UFO encounters have taken place along it (like Roswell) and that the number 33 has significance for free masons. Wikipedia does have an article about things like the moon landing hoax accusations. Though that is arguably more notable based on the popularity of the theory. I don't know what the standard has been in the past. I do believe it's possible to include the information in a way that simply states that there are people who attach significance to the number but that the idea has no real scientific backing. I don't know, there are books like "Underground!: The Disinformation Guide to Ancient Civilizations, Astonishing Archaeology And Hidden History" which are a source but, I mean, as fun as they are to read, are arguably written by crazy people. Again, I don't really know what the standard has been in the past. I know that lots of things mentioned in the book above have gotten mention on wikipedia. The theories about the offshore, under water "structures" at Yonaguni, Japan (built by pre-ice age civilizations) and Mahabalipuram, India (same concept) have gotten a mention at the least. Okay, I'll leave it at that.--Matt D (talk) 18:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Distinction between real/fictional

message: After a lot of thought, I'm changing the redirect to from the film Goodfellas to the bio page of James Burke, who this character is based on, because I think it's preferable for most people searching for this name. Here's my reasoning: When people are searching for this character they are mainly interested in the person the character was based on, and the conclusion of his "story arch", as it's a well known fact Goodfellas "is based on a true story" (a direct quote from the the opening title, and the first message conveyed after mentioning the producer, director and main cast of De Niro, Liotta, Pesci, Bracco and Sorvino). The movie also ends with this quote:
...which obviously makes people interested in the real life person behind this character. While linking to the Goodfellas page arguably makes a lot of sense, there's unfortunately no information whatsoever in that article about James Burke, and the link to his bio page is buried deep in the article about the film. On the other hand, there is information about both Goodfellas and (obviously) James on his bio page, and whoever is searching for this name will also immediately get the information that he later died in prison. Also, this behavior is consistent with other characters appearing in the film, based on real people, such as Henry Hill and "Paul Cicero", which redirects you to Paul Vario. Gavleson (talk) 09:49, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: On second thought, turns out there is a disambiguation page on James Conway, where Jimmy Conway was already listed, and several people named Jimmy Conway, so redirecting to James Conway probably makes even more sense.
