Talk:Board of Inland Revenue v Haddock

message: I put the citations needed tag on "wills being scratched in artillery shells" and "cheques being written on chalkboards".  Both examples are real (I recall them from University days), but I don't have sources to hand, so I have left tags on until I can locate some.  I think Chitty on Contract provides citations for both. --Legis (talk - contribs) 14:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations needed

message: APH Also corresponded with the Inland Revenue in poetry. A later demand got his response (just doing this off my head and probably not right):
Dear sir thank you for your smart
I do not think this note will make you frown.
The sum involved is only half a crown.
Which APH said "Shows there are people with wit working at the tax office", but wrote back applauding the poem finishing:
An author should not ever encourage those
In future I would write to you in prose
I forget where this is, it's not in his life and times. It could be in Frank Muir's work somewhere.

replies: text: In my 1935 copy it is Board of Inland Revenue vs. Haddock, but is subtitled THE NEGOTIABLE COW. I Agree best left here. The problem is many of th eother cases are Haddock vs. this or Board of this vs. Haddock or whatever, so when actually going through the books it is really a bit of a toss-up to decide which should be first. I know in anthologies it is often just given as The Negotiable Cow. SimonTrew (talk) 16:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Leaflet (botany)

message: I think this article (currently "Leaflet") should be renamed to "Leaflet (botany)". The reason is that many articles (e.g. about political movements) have incorrectly linked here (I've just fixed about 40). The long-term aim would be for "Leaflet" to become a disambiguation page. Anybody agree/disagree ? DexDor (talk) 21:31, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article title 

message: Lately I've been looking at the three pages Leaflet (botany), Compound leaf (which  redirects to Leaf#Divisions_of_the_blade), and Leaf with a view to provide more detailed info about compound leaves. In my view neither the "Leaflet" nor the "Leaf" page provide a good explanation of compound leaves. I am proposing to remove the redirect and create an actual article at "Compound leaf" (which will cover the concept of "leaflet"), and redirect "Leaflet (Botany)" to it. I welcome any input that others may have about this idea. This message appears on the other two pages as well.  Junglenut |Talk  11:32, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Bajo sexto

: DONE. - Jmabel | Talk 06:23, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I suspect the current article Bajo sextos are tuned: E,A,D,G,C,F, (from highest to lowest string) is wrong. The error, if it was one, was introduced here and never challenged. Compare to http://www.juststrings.com/dad-j86.html which clearly has the courses E-A-D-G-C-F lowest to highest. Andrewa (talk) 06:31, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is incorrect.  The bajo quinto came from the bajo sexto, and not the other way around.  The body of the bajo sexto isn't a whole lot larger than the body of a typical twelve string guitar, but the strings are tuned an octave lower.  The low E string, therefore, doesn't resonate well on many instrments, and consequently many players remover the lower course from their bajo sextos and play them with five courses.  Luthiers picked up on this and began making instruments that lacked the sixth course from the beginning, and the bajo quinto was born.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 21:14, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Scale length 

message: Even though this article is supposed to be encyclopedic, no one thought to mention the string material (which is steel, unlike the gut or nylon used on most other types of guitars in Mexico)?? The fact that the bajo sexto's strings are made of steel is one of the things that makes it most distinctive among Mexican plucked string instruments. Why not add some information about this to the article? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 23:58, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Paracho, Mexico might be a good place to look as the city is full of guitar luthiers. I'm sure someone there might have experience with bajo sextos.  22quackAA (talk) 23:42, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:VoIP spam

message: I find large portions of this article speculative - although I agree that "VoIP is a good thing" and eliminating VoIP spam will one day be done somehow, there's no reason to believe that current e-mail filtering technology will apply directly to voice call filtering, and there's no need to go to so much verbosity to legitimize the use of VoIP, as I don't think anyone is suggesting that we eliminate it. Also, there are no references - and at least the claim in the intro that it's "received a great deal of attention from marketers and the trade press" needs citation. This whole article is highly speculative. Dcoetzee 19:43, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.

Talk:The Lost Continent: The Story of Atlantis

message: I note that my the cover blurb I removed earlier in the day has since been restored, and recognize an explanation may be required. I would argued that the presence of cover blurbs, written by the publisher, runs counter to WP:NOT, in particular WP:NOT#SOAP, which states "Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style." I would argue that any blurb by a publisher was written as a means of selling their product. In short, the text quoted was written for promotional purposes as reflected in the point of view expressed. I write this with the recognition that the Ballantine edition (from which this blurb is taken) is no longer in print. A further point, if I may, I don't think this particular cover blurb can be considered a plot summary. Victoriagirl 16:03, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
