Talk:Holm

message: Coming from the article about the Orkney isles, I was directed to this disambiguation page. It didn't really explain why small islands in (at least) norther Scotland are referred to as Holms. Perhaps a page on that aspect of the word should be added? My (unverified) guess is that etymologically it traces back to the old Norse word that lead to  the modern Swedish word "Holme" meaning a small island, the same word that is the ending of Stockholm. Only my €0.02. --Atexit 14:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scotland 

message: I had a long discussion at User talk:Ben MacDui#Holm, with that page's user, and i was surprised to realize that that hadn't resulted in this page staying compliant to MoSDab, despite the useful creation (IIRC at my suggestion) of Holm (island).
# Piped links only when the lk is to a specific section of the page lk'd.
# Only one blue lk per entry.
# Dabs exist (despite slightly wider usefulness) to serve (to focus on this specific Dab) users who are looking for an article that they think might be titled "Holm". It is hard to draw a line between, on one hand, Muhammad and Jesus (titles of their bios), Hegel, Goethe, Cervantes, Shakespeare, and  Mohammed (who "own" those respective Rdrs, despite longer or differently spelled titles on their bios), and, on the other, "Holm", which (tho profoundly ambiguous among persons in the absence of context) is likely to be used to refer to Celeste, Ian, or Eleanor (and many more) in specific contexts that are nevertheless insufficient for some readers or listeners. So we list, on the Holm Dab, people with Holm as their surnames (but not Holm O. Bursum). With similar logic, there are contexts where islets not named simply "Holm" are likely to be referred to as "the holm"; some of these have "Holm" (or "-holm") as part of their names, and Holm (island) is a decent way of helping them find any article specific to the island in question.  (Links to articles like List of Shetland islands are a disservice to Dab users, and not acceptable.)

message: This article appears to be about a session musician who has little or no information about him on the web.

Talk:Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science

message: "not to be confused with the larger and more well-known book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health." says the article.  What use is this disambiguation?  We have:
* Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health
* Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science </br>
Three words are common to both titles but they use quite different words in different positions.  What use is a disambiguation? Terryeo 14:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  What use the disambiguation 

message: Re: the cover and the uniforms of the men on it: which some have speculated is a reference to the story of Xenu.
* There is no citation.  Who made such speculation, when did they make such speculation, when was their speculation published, who published their speculation, what makes their speculation noteworthy, what book or newspaper contains their speculation, are the speculators referred to experts of note ?
* According to Wikipedia, Xenu information happened long after 1955.  What speculator states this 1955 artist's conception references to the myth of Xenu which was (apparently) not in existence in 1955 ?
*  Normally, "speculations" are not part of an article.  However, if speculations are going to be part of an article, they should be well referenced.  How about we just remove that phrase, what do you say? Terryeo 14:23, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The picture clearly states that it's the cover of the 1972 edition. Next! AndroidCat 15:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Perhaps I didn't embold speculation enough.  I'm raising the issue that the speculation is not referenced.  I am not talking about the picture, but about unreferenced speculation regarding the picture. For example, any picture or photograph can be speculated about.  College classes often do this about works of art, including artist depictions.  The cover is an artist's depiction.  It certainly can be speculated about.  The point I raise is "What publication has published the speculations which the article says have been published"? Terryeo 17:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Uncited, weasel worded generality 

message: I have made two negative comments above.  If the disambiguation is removed and if the weasel worded speculation phrase is removed, the article grows considerably shorter.  It is not my intent to criticize.  It is my intent to have the article present good, encyclopedic information to the reader.  The book itself is immediately available online to a reader if he wishes to explore it.  Can we just keep it nice and simple?  As with every Scientology article I expect there will be lots of misunderstanding and criticism.  Potentially there is the whole misunderstanding of what a 'reactive mind' is and other topics which the book covers.  But let us not disperse the reader's attention with speculation by unknown, unreferenced  third parties and disambiguations, separating this book from apples and fruitcake, okay ?

Talk:Tad Dorgan

message: I removed the statement that Dorgan was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The only reference I could find to support it was a single newspaper article, but I think the list of inductees of the organization itself , where Dorgan is NOT listed, trumps that. Joyous! | Talk 12:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Boxing Hall of Fame

message: I slightly altered the "Life in Great Neck" section because of a somewhat misleading statement about TAD retiring in the early 1920s. While it is true that he retired, on doctor's orders, from covering live sports events (he had a heart attack in the middle of a Jack Dempsey fight!) in the early 20s, he continued to draw both "Indoor Sports" and "Judge Rummy" for the Hearst papers up until he died in 1929. I didn't source this, because it's plain to see in any newspaper archive. I own several TAD original drawings published in the mid to late 1920s which bear this out.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.46.105 (talk) 23:28, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
