message: Construx was discontinued in 1988, briefly revived by Mattel
Mega Brands, Inc., formerly Mega Bloks, Inc., is a Canadian children's toy company currently owned by Mattel.
Mega Construx ("By the people behind Mega Bloks" according to megaconstrux dot com) look more like Mega Bloks than Construx to me, though i wonder if the name might mean there are some compatible parts (like some Zaks had LEGO-style connectors).

thread_title:  Vet surgery in New Zealand 

message: The information on veterinary surgeons in the UK which formed 99% of this article, can now be found at Veterinary medicine in the United Kingdom alongside information on the paraprofessionals who operate in the UK.  This helps people navigate the similarities and differences between the professions, and give a holistic whole country view of veterinary medicine.  
As a result this is now a disambiguation page to veterinarian, Veterinary medicine in the United Kingdom and veterinary surgery.  There are improvements to be made to veterinarian to make it international and reflect some of the UK position , but this also solves the problem of the confusion between terms.

Talk:David Stoll (anthropologist)

message: I have added the following to User:TDC's talk page. 
:You added to the David Stoll article that "Vicente Menchú had in fact been quite prosperous.... He had owned a 2,753 hectares parcel of land." Unless this was poisoned waste land it would have made him more than a "quite prosperous" peasant, it would have made him a major upper-class landowner. 2,753 hectares is about 7,000 acres or more than ten square miles. Was this a mistake? 2.753 hectares seems more likely for the plot of a "quite prosperous" peasant. It has since been converted to "27.53 suare km" but I'm going to replace it with something non-specific. Could you perhaps find the time to double check the source? And of course it is possible that the source is wrong. If 2,753 hectares is right, the whole of the article is hard to understand. I know Stoll was arguing they weren't that poor, but landownership on that scale would surely make the conflict referred to one between two landowning factions rather than a peasant revolt. Bhoeble 14:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Size of that parcel of land

message: The opening paragraph had the sentence: "He achieved brief notoriety, making the front page of The New York Times, for his controversial work concerning the Guatemalan activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchú and currently teaches at Middlebury College." I think that language is quite loaded and inaccurate. There is still quite a stir of Stoll's arguments, so it was not brief. "Notoriety" is an opinionated word, implying ill-repute. I changed it to "In his book Rigoberta Menchú and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans (1999) , Stoll pointed out inaccuracies between his fieldwork and the memoir that Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchú wrote with Elizabeth Burgos. Additionally, Stoll criticized many Western academics in their interpretation of Menchú's story, claiming that such academics romanticize guerrillas in Latin America.Stoll, David Rigoberta Menchú and the Story of All Poor Guatemalas, 1999 The New York Times featured his controversial findings about Menchú on their front page."Mvblair (talk) 06:18, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Dark Arms: Beast Buster 1999

message: This article's title is incorrect (as are all mentions of the game's name within it). Although this game does indeed seem to be a follow-up (or at least spiritual successor) to SNK's Beast Busters, the game that this article covers is actually called Dark Arms: Beast Buster. There is no S at the end of it. This can be confirmed by looking at the cover in a higher resolution, for instance in this scan of its box at mobygames; this can also be confirmed by playing the game, as its title appears unambiguously . . . on the title screen . . . as Dark Arms: Beast Buster.

Talk:Virginia Hamilton

message: * Her obituary in The New York Times has not yet been cited. I added it as one External link.
* Hamilton won two major lifetime awards, the biennial international IBBY Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1992 and the triennial ALA Laura Ingalls Wilder Award in 1995. It should be possible to find some contemporary coverage (NYT?), perhaps official citations of her achievements (IBBY and ALA?).
* In her honor, ALA established a minor lifetime achievement award in 2010, for which I inserted a long quotation from the current official award webpage. It will be good to reduce that quotation and find contemporary ALA press release or daily newspaper (NYT?) coverage of new award.
Here's a source that will help go far beyond basic coverage in some respects:

message: I think it's unfair to split people post mortem, after YU split in 90's. The man was born and made his best work in a state funded Yu film industry, before the split. Revisionism at it's lowest. Just like Tesla. The man was born in Yugoslavia, on what today's Croatia, had a Hungarian last name, was an atheist and lived & died in USA. A true example of Yugoslavian pluralism and cosmopolitan values, yet diplomatic wars are waged for his bones. No one cites Jozef Staljin a Georgian nowadays, do they? Even do CCCP does not exist anymore he is still a Soviet.
Bottom line is that most of ex Yu republics are putting a huge effort to claim the heroes of the past, because almost nothing that will endure the test of time, hasn't been made since. 77.77.245.181 (talk) 21:16, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Updates 

message: I'm sorry to say that I do not feel that this article is up to par with C-class standards. The entire "Changes" section is confusing and should be replaced with "Gameplay". The article lacks a development section, and the reception section is outrageously short, and doesn't even have a  box. The "Changes" section is too long in comparison with the rest of the article.
Additionally, there are only nine cites, five of which are located in the Reception section. The three-part "Changes" section relies entirely on one cite, and that's not exactly a good thing, considering how long it is. Reception needs quotes, sales data, etc. Development needs to be created.
One of the two images in the "Changes" section should preferably be removed, since they are both conveying the same thing. As little non-free media, the better. 
Fix those, and re-request an assessment. Good luck! --haha169 (talk) 17:56, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

::In the biography - but not the BBC programme - it's "Fuck Your Buddy" - and the book is surely the more reliable source
What seems to happen is that people who have seen the TV show assume this is a typo - and change it to "Fuck You Buddy". Why clever researchers at the BBC chose to change this (and so subtly make a point about Nash and his game which I think is not actually there) is for others to discuss.
