Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mammals/Collaboration

message: How many times does a single editor get to vote at any one time? I think we should limit it to three, with first choice, second choice, third choice. We can tally a first choice as three points and a third choice as one point. Marskell (talk) 10:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd support whatever system, although a simple "yes, I'll work on this article" or abstain otherwise will probably work pretty well too.  I came to the talk page to raise the point that, as a matter of courtesy, we should probably notify editors who have been major contributors to the articles we're thinking of working on.  For example with polar bear, it appears that User:Ytrottier did a huge amount of the research.  He hasn't edited polar bear in several months, but hypothetically we could stumble across an article that someone else was hoping to take to FAC and we'd be pulling a Yomangani. --JayHenry (talk) 05:12, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I noted something in the intro. It doesn't really matter. All one is doing by voting more than once is diluting the value of one's own vote. In essence, it is a good way of voting if one doesn't have a strong preference. I can see benefits in several articles and would be happy to work on just about any of them. If we're not sure about the effort to put in, Spotted Hyena must be close to a GA nom as is, though needs some more copyediting and referencing. It depends how ambitious or conservative we are anyway. I have browsed a few of the noms to have a look at the task ahead. cheers,  Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Port of Constanța

message: Actually, now that I see how much improvements have been made in so short time, I regret not placing the article on hold. Good work. There are still some more stuff that needs perking up (some which is GA criteria and some that is not). First, the lead is a bit short, and the first sentence sounds more like a marketing gimmick than a good encyclopedic introduction. I had no idea where Constanţa until I reviewed this article, so make it clear straight away that this is in Romania. Otherwise, all sections in the article are to be in the lead. Remember: the lead is to summarize, not introduce, the article. History, satellite ports and statistics are not mentioned in the lead right now. Concerning references, they are to be behind the punctuation (not in front). In the  template, there is the peramiter |language= set this equal to Romanian instea of using . Also, the section "operations" is completely unreferenced. Other perky stuff is to use an endash (–) insead of a hyphen (-) in ranges (ex. 2002–08 and Danube–Black Sea Canal [while written correctly here, the latter article's name is wrong]). Consider right-aliging the statistics, since they vary so much in magnitude. Also remember to  metric values into the medival system to the Americans do not get lost (and the value nm is for nanometers, not nautical miles [though that could have been me in my copyedit]). Do not superscript th in numbers. There is also a bit over over-linking, since some words are linked multiple times. The section "Ore, coal, coke" should have an and in it. I still feel the history section is quite small, but you are the one who knows when sources are running out of more to say. While the old stuff is covered well, newer stuff is more lacking (especially after the revolution), and a news search can show wonders when researching this sort of stuff. Good work, things are coming along great. Again, do not hesitate to ask for more feedback or advice (on this or a different article). Arsenikk (talk) 22:31, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Updates needed 

message: @Patch455, you're persistently pushing your disruptive edits even when I have shown you multiple reliable sources disproving you on your own talk page.  Here I will repeat them: AFP ”southern Chinese city” , “special administrative region of China” , Reuters ”...China's freest city” , Guardian ”Hong Kong has been one of just two cities in China...”  Britannica: “Hong Kong, Special administrative region of China” 
The logical conclusion to which these reliable sources lead us is that the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals AKA Port of Hong Kong are located in the country of China. We list LA and Long Beach port as belonging to the country United States instead of California, or the Port of Klang with the country of Malaysia instead of Selangor. Countries go into the country column, not cities or special administrative regions. What exactly is the problem you're edit warring over? You said my European sources have a history of misinformation, but they are all considered reliable by Wikipedia. Check for yourself  Andro611 (talk) 19:12, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Wilt: Larger than Life

message: In Wikipedia, notability does not have the ordinary dictionary definition. It is a guideline with objective criteria. Your statement that "it is the only biography of Wilt" does not help satisfy WP's requirements. Per WP:Notability: "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Notability requires objective evidence that the subject meets the criterion, without regard for the subjective personal judgments of editors.
Please read Wikipedia:Notability (books). Notability requires verifiable references from reliable sources. Currently, the article has but a single reference to Amazon's extract of a review, so it is difficult to verify notability.
The book probably is notable, but that must be established by references. So go find references to the book and include them in the article. Sbowers3 (talk) 18:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Port operator

message: The term "port operator", as defined in this article, muddles the company that operates the port with the companies that operate the terminals at the port. Zurich Australia defines "port operator" as:
:the legal entity that technically and commercially operates a port and, if specifically agreed by us, includes any port authority, harbour authority, harbour board, corporation, or other legal entity that operates any port or harbour.
And "terminal operator" as:
:the legal entity that technically and commercially operates any container, break-bulk, bulk liquid or dry-bulk commodity marine terminal for the purpose of loading or unloading cargo from or to a ship and the marshalling and storage of such cargo.
So for example, the Port of Melbourne Corporation and Port of London Authority are port operators, but DP World and ICTSI are terminal operators. All of the "port operators" listed in this article are actually terminal operators. A new category for terminal operators would also be of use. Miracle Pen (talk) 15:56, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

:Mention of the nameplate "Rothersyke" being transferred to "Ennerdale"is not mentioned in C&WJR Company minutes so this information regarding being renamed Rothersyke is suspect. In order to rename an engine one would think it would need BOD approval and be minuted. 
This was misplaced - commentary belongs on this talk page, not in the article.
Locomotive names need not be a Board matter - and it is in fact rare for directors to concern themselves with such things. Some railways honoured their directors by naming locos after them - and in such cases the individual director would be asked for permission - but it would not be a matter for the Board as a whole. Loco names would be shown in the asset register or the maintenance records, not in the Board minutes. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
