message: This article is horrible!!! It reads like a ad. I am going to try to rewrite it tonight when I get time. There are no claims to back anything up. And the use of flattering adjectives is biased. If I can't find any sources to back up some of the things mentioned in this article it is going to be a really short article,which would be better than how it is now.

thread_title:  NEW correction 

message: Just in the process of reading these novels for the 1st time;  not got through them all yet, but will have soon.  Anyway, spotted a couple of errors in the article, based only on what I've read so far (mon amour, and 1/2 of last tango):
* Louie and Llunos didn't 'fail' to stop the bombing in Mon Amour.  Well, they did, but the failure was deliberate.  It's not specified in Mon Amour, but early on in Last Tango there's a scene with a flashback where Louie and Llunos deliberately withheld from stopping the bomb drop.
* The bombing attack at Rio Ceiriog wasn't a 'dambuster' style;  the Lancaster bomber used had been acquired from 617 squadron, but the attack itself wasn't on a dam, nor did it involve water.  The attack on the Nant y Moch dam, on the other hand, WAS dambuster style.
In the dramatis personae, I wonder if it's worth mentioning Dai the Custard Pie?  In Mon Amour, he has a fairly small part, but there's the scene in Last Tango where Louie goes to see him in prison which is redolent of Silence of the Lambs, with Dai taking the Hannibal Lector role.  As I say, not read the whole series yet, so I don't know if that's a one-off and therefore unimportant.
Apart from all that, it looks a good article to me - catches the memes and themes of the novels well.  Good job on the part of the editors. Carre 19:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I am glad this article was created! Thank you to all involved! Evaunit♥666♥ 01:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Thank You

message: The first note, which is included along with text in the article about the financial success of the book says:
:As news of the movie sale went public, Susann encountered Aristotle Onassis at a New York restaurant. Onassis--apparently impressed by her earning potential--told Susann, "I think I'm married to the wrong Jackie." (Seaman, Lovely Me, pp. 392-93.)
That this comment was ever made seems highly unlikely. Onassis was an incredibly wealthy man who didn't need money from his spouse. It does seem like a very self-serving bit of name-dropping for Susann. I have not read the biography where this factoid appears, so I don't know how valid the source was. Unless it was verified by Onassis himself it seems more likely to have been a bit of self-promotion by the author. Since Wikipedia is supposed to be dealing in facts, I think it is questionable to be presenting this statement allegedly made by Onassis as fact. I don't think it's needed to support the underlying fact that Susann's book was a financial success. If we do include it, I would recommend that the text be modified so that it reads:
:allegedly told Susann
Or
:is said to have told Susann.  Ileanadu (talk) 19:08, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

message: If you have any information about the Burns Howff or any bands that performed there I would like to know, or any photographs taken at the time. In order to keep this article relevant I would ask that any information be accurate, and remember that this is not a vehicle to promote anyones commercial interests.Orangerock 15:49, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I had many visits to The Howff in the late seventies and early eighties. The entrance to the Howff was by stairs from West Regent Street down to the doors that led into the Bar area. The long bar was on your right and if you walked up to the back there was a door  that took you through to stairs which led up to the upstairs lounge where the bands played. I used to follow Chou Pahrot and my buddy Ken Melvin played bass with a band called The Little Concert which also had Nigel Clark on guitar who went on to play with Hue and Cry and his own band. I was the lights man for TLC but also did them for CP on occasions. I remember watching loads of bands upstairs in the Howff. Freebird, Sneaky Pete were but two. The strange thing about the Howff upstairs was that you could only buy lager, you could not get a pint of heavy...I wonder if anyone else remembers this. The service was waitress only and so I think it made things easier as the music was that loud the waitresses could not hear what you were ordering and so everyone developed their own sign language. Basically 2 fingers up meant 2 pints. I was sad to see the place close because it really was a great venue. Brian Kerr --Bribofaejamesorrst (talk) 20:44, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I've really got to disagree.  My understanding is that a Black Russian is basically the same as a White Russian but without the milk or cream.

replies: text: A note to any future editors that read this, the IBA is actually a very small organization and their "drink list" is also extraordinarily small.

Talk:Osmotic concentration

message: I'm suggesting moving this page to Osmolarity instead of having that term redirect here. "Osmolarity" is the term/concept you find in the indices of biology textbooks and "osmole" is just the unit it is measured in.

thread_title:  this article is completely incorrect 

message: The equation
: \mathrm{osmol/L} = \sum_i \varphi_i \, n_i C_i

Probably the equation should be:
: C_{os} = \sum_i \varphi_i \, n_i C_i
or
: \mathrm{Osmolarity} = \sum_i \varphi_i \, n_i C_i

Talk:Geosphere

message: Things were made to generalize the term geosphere, retaining the geology references and putting them in perspective relative to the other less condensed states of matter. My main objective here was to define the term "geopause' in the context of the outer limits of the geosphere. To do this, one has to admit that the ocean, atmosphere, and plasmasphere-ionosphere are part of the Earth, and then ask "where does the Earth end and the Sun begin?" This was motivated by a misuse of the term "geopause" that occurred in the "Solar Wind" article, where it was mistakenly identified with the magnetopause or bow shock. This was pointed out in the Eos Transactions of the Am. Geophys. Un. on 13 March 2007, by Mark Moldwin of UCLA.

Talk:Duck Baker

message: I don't really have time to write an essay defending inclusion of Duck Baker in Wikipedia. If I did I would research and write a better page. Basically he's generally recognised by people who think about these things as one of the leading American fingerstyle guitarists. In this respect the criteria for notability are suspect. For example, the requirement that the musician "has had a charted hit on any national music chart, in at least one large or medium-sized country" means that Romeo Challenger, drummer with 1970s Teddy Boy band Showaddywaddy has a page.
Agreed, the page for Duck Baker is not good. My understanding of the organic nature of Wikipedia is that the page will be improved by people who know more about him than I do. Romeo Challenger's entry has one and a bit lines (not wishing to fixate on Mr Challenger, there are loads of equally undeveloped pages in Wikipedia).
There are currently three links to Duck Baker from articles in Wikipedia (not added by myself). This in itself suggests a  need for there to be an article for them to link to. One of these links is from the entry for Kicking Mule Records, for whom he recorded five albums. Presumably therefore he would meet the criteria for notability which requires him to have "released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels".

message: As someone who's busy in both the English and the German Wikis I always had the impression that those 'notability' discussions by Wikipedians not knowing too much about the object they're talking about were a specific German approach ;-) Now I find the same thing going on here and - after having added a Duck Baker discography and a few other info to the article - would like the discussion to be ended (if you please): How can a musician who since 30 years constantly issues (and reissues) records and is praised worldwide by fellow guitarists as much as by his listeners  provoke such a discussion ?!?

Talk:Malamatiyya

message: The main predicate of the article's opening sentence, "The Malāmatiyya ... represent the highest category of occulted or hidden Sufi Saint", is a point of view, and—although this point of view certainly deserves mention in the article—equally as certainly it should not be the article's opening statement.
There are other such statements scattered throughout the article; i.e. "by one of the better known but not necessarily 'highest ranking' of Sufi Masters, Ibn al-'Arabi"; "Therein lies the mystery of Divine Jealousy and Reproach, helping to keep the majestic substance of the Malamati soul hidden from jealous eyes of fallen and decadent men"; etc. In addition to the serious cleanup and reorganization that the article requires, such statements as these should be presented in their proper context as being certain points of view, and preferably cited with reference to reputable sources. —Saposcat 05:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I am concerned that some of the sources used for this article focus only on the most outlandish examples of the practices of the Malamatiyya, thus presenting these practices as the norm - re: urinating in front of groups of people.
