Talk:Helter skelter (ride)

message: Pardon my lack of wiki editing skills breaking up the format with my little insertion here, but feel free to fix it however you'd like. As I understand it, it's bad form to introduce something the way "the prosecution" is introduced in the current form of this article. We're going on about some ride at a fair, and then, bam, "the prosecution" -- wait hold the phone what? I don't think you're allowed to do that! And certainly not within the same paragraph as another topic, at least... - Anon

message: I have removed the image of the slide at Coney Island as it was definitely not a helter skelter. I also have removed references to the term being used in the US as no evidence is given for that. A helter skelter is defined as a spiral slide around a tower - there are other types of slides found at fairgrounds but they are not helter skelters. I am also very dubious about the other names given in the article such as Canadian slide and Alpine slip as I suspect these are not the same thing either but as there is a reference for that, which I don't have access to, I've left it in. The only one that seems likely is Lighthouse Slip as the tower in a helter skelter does resemble a lighthouse. Richerman   (talk) 18:50, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Gary Albright

message: What is up with the blanking the page? The article has only been tagged for 5 days. Is this a new WP policy to wipe every single article lacking sources within a few days? I'm just a little confused - it seems rather premature. Suriel1981 11:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  page wiping 

message: Well I decided to unwipe the page for a number of reasons
1) It was tagged for four days before being wiped, maybe give people time to actually work on it??
2) It was generally blanked out despite not being a controversial subject or anything of that nature
3) The reason given with a reference to some e-mail isn't really justification enough to blank it
and finally
4) With the actual article in place Wikepedians can work on improving the content and adding references instead of having to recreate it from scratch.
I've already taken a few small steps to improving the article, hopefully I will be able to do a lot more editing already today to get it in better shape so please don't delete it.
Thank you and hopefully calmness will prevail here. MPJ-DK 12:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi
I got wrapped on the knuckles because I didn't open a discussion about a proposed colour change for this user box. I understand that this change will affect everyone who uses this userbox.
So, I would like to propose a colour change from the current faded pink, to a more suitable set. I propose to use: 
Symbol background: hex colour #CC00FF
User box background: hex colour #E066FF
Both of these colours are shades of purple, and I have chosen these to reflect the "peaceful" nature. I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly associate purple with peace. Second, I wanted the user boxes to stand out, not all look so similar. I had a lot of faded pink userboxes and just wanted to review the use of colours, in particular this one.
Comments please? can a consensus be reached? all those in favour of a colour change, please say so now. Many thanks, δ²(Talk) 04:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there, thanks for opening discussion and accepting the revert of your change. I appreciate that it may be construed as 'minor' since it's only a colour change, although I disagree with being WP:BOLD on this one since it will affect numerous editors and their associated userspace. As to a 'wrap on the knuckles' it really wasn't intended as such and I apologise if that's how it felt: I merely meant to remind you of the importance of consensus for wide-scale changes such as this. On the issue at hand: I agree a colour change would be helpful (though not necessary) but would far prefer something more positive (e.g. green, white, blue -> i.e. symbols of peace and harmony) than purple (which is often associated with royalty).

thread_title: NPOV

message: Hey, nice job on this, although it needs some citations. A few quibbles:
#One of your edits mentions something along the lines of a "slavish adherence to the laws of physics" by Disney. This strikes me as a slight distortion of Disney's stance. The Walt Disney anthology series had a 1956 show about “The Plausible Impossible” which discussed cartoon physics as not conforming to reality, but having roots in it.  Obviously the UPA article isn't the place to go into the nuances of Disney house style, but perhaps you can find a way to make the sentence a little more accurate. 
#The article implies that Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol was made as an episode of The Famous Adventures pf Mr. Magoo.  I'm pretty sure it inspired the series rather than originating from it.
I'm going to give the article a once-over for Wikipedia style, but I'm not going to try to do much with it factually, since my knowledge is pretty much confined to the Magoo Christmas special. Feel free to keep going on your edits! -- Karen | Talk | contribs 23:23, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Karen, the emphasis on cinematic reality was most evident in Disney's feature films. This trend culminated in "Sleeping Beauty," which some critics claim may just as well have been made in live action. However, I agree that this may be better phrased, and I'll give it some thought.  Thanks for the feedback.  Also, my knowledge of Magoo comes to a screaming halt at the television point, so I haven't addressed that time period in my edits.

thread_title:  I'll try 

message: The article states "Aivanhov's teaching is largely rooted in the Christian path but from an esoteric aspect - the inner teachings of Jesus."
I would dispute this strongly. The books I have read explain aspects of Christianity but also of other religions and spiritual philosophies such as the kabbalah, yoga, buddhism, islam and so on but the ideas did not appear to be "rooted" in an ancient religion. This teaching is something much more significant and universal than any one religion. I would describe it as a solar teaching. To associate it strongly with one particular religion is to label it with and link it to an old form. This teaching is for everyone regardless of religion. I suspect many of his followers do not understand his teaching very well and will be apopleptic with rage at this comment if they read it.
Believe me this is not a primarily christian teaching. I have studied the question in great detail.
Best wishes to everyone regardless. We are all trying to do the good as we see it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.66.42 (talk • contribs) 22:42, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You point out that the teachings of Mikhaël Aïvanhov come from a broad base of spiritual traditions. While this is undoubtedly true, it is also true that Aïvanhov did refer repeatedly to Jesus' teachings and what he called "the Christ ideal.". The statement in the article which you quote above does not seem too wide of the mark, but it does need a source, which may mean it should be adjusted to be closer to Aïvanhov's actual teachings. I will attempt to do this. Sunray (talk) 22:11, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Chrysler 300 letter series

message: The Chrysler 300 "letter series" were high-performance luxury cars built in very limited numbers by the Chrysler Corporation in the United States between 1955 and 1965. Each year's model used a new letter of the alphabet as a suffix (skipping I), reaching 300L by 1965 after which the model was dropped.
The 300 "letter series" cars were the vehicles that really rekindled interest in performance among major US manufacturers postwar and thus can be considered the muscle car's ancestors, though much more expensive and exclusive.
Chrysler has recently started using these designations again for sporting near-luxury sedans, using 300M from 1999, and continuing the 300 series with a new V8 300C, the top model of a relaunched Chrysler 300 line, a completely new rear wheel drive car launched in 2004 for the 2005 model year. This is disliked by some fans of old Chryslers who do not approve of the reuse of a 300 letter series designation. Unlike the first series, the second does not have 300-horsepower engines, except for today's top-of-the-line 300C V8.
This article was very enlighting, but for old school to make a statement such as...
This is disliked by some fans of old Chryslers who do not approve of the reuse of a 300 letter series designation. Unlike the first series, the second does not have 300-horsepower engines, 
In my opinon, this is the most stupidest statement in this article, ie, a BMW 745iL does not posess 745 hp, and yet no BMW owner complains. A ford falcon never could fly or even glide as such. So just because old school used numbered emblems to show off hp, does not mean it's the law of the universe to only use these numbers to depict hp. Get over it old school, you can't rule forever, die and move on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.119.200.168 (talk • contribs) 
The BMW 3, 5, 7 series numbers are base on liters of displacement, not horsepower. If the "old school" dies, uninformed individuals like the writer above will never be enlightened.
Although the 1955 "300" was the first, other 1956 Chrysler products (Plymouth Fury, Dodge D500 & Desoto Adventurer) were also "muscle cars". They were all 2 door hardtops (no B pillar) had bigger engines, chassis modifications, special trim (inside & out) and new names to separate them from standard fare.Furyman 22:27, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, IPA is not taught at schools etc., but I found it very easy —and constructive— to pick up, especially with the underline hint thing. So I do not see the need for a second pronunciation. Furthermore, "Gae" is not a normal word and the IPA gives it as a "jeep" without the p, not "gay".
However, the IPA isn't fault free: that r is most likely non-rhotic in English —the r in "store" makes the o longer and isn't pronounced. --122.61.109.30 (talk) 03:27, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
