thread_title:  Better specificatons 

message: A picture of an old fire engine either showing or stating its colour would be useful to show that red has long been used. I've seen some on a Google image search, but don't have any copyright-free images. An old photograph will not show, but might state, the colour; a painting will; and a modern photograph of an old engine would ideally state that the colour is original. Here is one example from 1913, although a pre-motor-vehicle one would be even better.Pol098 (talk) 12:03, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Articles for Deletion debate

message: I see that "Dark raspberry" is identified as a color in the section Dark raspberry. The text discusses dark raspberry but claim that it is a color is not supported by a reference. There is a color template with a link but the color template refers to raspberry not dark raspberry, and the linked source makes reference to raspberry but not dark raspberry. Perhaps it is actually a color but that's not supported by this article.
I don't plan to edit this article as my current focus is on the color lists articles (e.g. List_of_colors:_A–F). I do plan to remove this entry from that list, but if someone does some research and can can find evidence that there is a color by this name, it can be restored.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:21, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Dear wikipedians, I feel that a disambiguation page for "Pampero" would be necessary now as I've counted at least 4 articles related to this term: this one, the one on the "Pampero MRL", the one about a "fictitious clipper" (mentioned in this one), and the one mentioned in this talk page (didn't verified its existance). I'm aware of more potential articles that can be created related to this term (eg: it was a shoe brand in Argentina; and also an aerostatic baloon used by Eduardo Newbery, an argentinian aviation pioneer), so the usefulness of the disambiguation should be clear.  If nobody opposes, I'll create the disambiguation page (once I learn how to do that!). Kind regards, DPdH (talk)  23:51, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: HueSurname, I reverted your image because it is auto-traced and is heavily distorted. Letters blur into each other and are no longer legible, and formerly sharp lines became lesser defined. I'm sorry, but it was not a good vectorization. Fry1989 eh? 14:13, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Rogues en Vogue

message: Well this is one more good album by Running Wild. I am a huge fan of the band but i can't help admitting that i don't expect anything from them right now apart from doing decent heavy metal albums. 
Those of you who are familiar with the sound of Running Wild this album will take you back to the days of "Blazing Stone" especially songs like "Angel of Mercy" and "Rogues en Vogue" (two of the beast songs in the album). I sould add that you sould look out for the digipack version beause of the two fantastic bonus songs: "Cannonball tongue" and "Libertalia" (some people think that this is the best RW song). Too bad they weren't included in the album...

I expected to find a new page for a different person of the same name having been created, necessitating the tag, but this doesn't appear to be the case, and a very brief Google search didn't turn up any potential notable people of the same name either.

It has no substance, no evidence in terms of musical knowledge to support what is for me, a quite ludicrous equation of the record with the music of Gong. "With most of the stuffing left out."

You can find Ms. Brown's memoir, which is titled Rita Will:  Memoir of a Literary Rabble-Rouser, at a library near you, and you can confirm I got the page numbers right for each piece of her information that you find in the article.  
If you echo the complaint that another editor added some years ago on this Talk page, a complaint that the article relies heavily on this one source Rita Will, then you should know that it is our only source on her college education and early life.
