message: can we add what types of clothing the character marv wore in the movie and possibly brand names?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauldonald86 (talk • contribs) 16:11, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  clothing 

message: Marv should be a disambiguation page. The fictional character in Sin City is not the primary usage of this word in English texts and assigning this title to the page about that fictional character is an extreme case of both recentism and US-centric bias among English Wikipedians (to get an idea about the usage of this word in English texts, compare Marv+Persia and Marv+Sin City).

thread_title: Move to Marv (Sin City)

message: The "Appearances in the Sin City series" section seems to place a disproportionate amount of attention on Marv's role in The Hard Goodbye without a comparable amount of detail on his three subsequent appearances. As such, it inadvertently emphasizes the plot of the first film, which it shares. Can the three following sections be further developed, or perhaps combined, so as to provide a greater picture of Marv's role in the comic? --FacultiesIntact (talk) 04:31, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Blue ant (disambiguation)

message: Following the conventions of the English language, I'd think the proper noun version (capitalized) should point to an article about the company Blue Ant, which makes audio equipment, and the lowercase version should point to the insect. --Nil0lab 02:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Consensus on Outdated Taxonomy? 

message: I own a Corn Snake and add this to the possible etymology of the name, Milk Snake. 
As noted, these snakes are often found around farms and thus an association with dairy barns and cattle has led to the term, somewhat as in "milk maid". I suspect a closer link as illustrated by this anecdote. 
I usually feed my snake by dangling its "prey" mouse down into the opened top of its cage. Once, during a cleaning, I inadvertently held one hand, fingers dangling, over the opening and my snake unerringly struck and hung onto the end of a finger. The snake's response immediately called to mind the deep appeal that a plentiful crop of dangling udders in a dairy barn or pasture would elicit in any snake of good size. If the snake happens to "chew" as it adjusts is jaws, so much more "evidence" for seeming to milk the cow. 
I hope someone has actually witnessed this behaviour which would lend more credence to the literal origin of the name at some point in the past. Jelly Catullus 17:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Coldstream, Victoria

message: Is there any firm definition of 'suburb' we can use? I'd tend to agree that Coldstream is more a town than a suburb, but I can see how the argument could be made the other way. I'd consider Lilydale to be the end of the suburbs, but urban sprawl may soon change this. Then again, the area is mainly vineyards, so sprawl may be hindered in this case. Anyway, if there was some way we could solidify this description, I think it would improve the article. Cnwb 04:08, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: One possibility is to use the census collection districts that fall into the locality of Melbourne according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.  here's the list of census collection districts for Coldstream, and the corresponding one for Melbourne (which includes hundreds of areas giving a 2001 population of 3.2 million or so).

Talk:Lillooet (electoral district)

message: Can someone please do the tables here; I spent a few hours working the data out from Elections BC and calculating the turnout myself (votes + rejected ballots/total registered voters); but please check the math (not sure about which voters list is used sometimes; there's voters list the same year as some elections, but these may have been compiled after the election in some cases).  Geographic description is basic, census information forthcoming; poll breakdown I just can't find.  Requested maps on map-request page but riding boundaries may change over period of its existence (certainly did, in fact); but Elections BC doesn't have the same online descriptions that Elections Canada online does.  And I'm just no good with Wikitables; if there's a way to do them easily please point me in the right direction, or if you're so inclined take the data that's here and table-ize it.
There were some irregularities in voting and the like in this district which are part of its electoral history; writeups later tonight (maybe); at least one election was overturned because of balloting irregularities.  Notes on population fluctuations to be written later; NB although Chinese were banned from voting in BC in the 1871 election Lillooet's Chinese merchants voted, and were solicited for their votes by candidates nonetheless.Skookum1 04:12, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I also improvised current-party colours for 20th Century parties no longer extant such as the Soldier-Farmer Party, the Non-Partisan Investment Group, and George Murray's Progressive Liberal flop/startup.  There's probably a colour for the Liberal-Conservative Coalition but I didn't know the abbree for the colour line; and also for the Social Credit Party of BC's predecessor the Social Credit Alliance (OK, OK, there was the BC Social Credit League, too...)

thread_title: Untitled

message: A recent edit by 90.192.239.252 modified the way in which Friels' views about acting and political engagement are presented, while leaving it referenced to the Negus interview. I think the Negus interview sustains the point as it was originally made, that is, that "Friels has argued...", though I do not think my language for the rest of the sentence was as good as it could be, and I will try to improve it. I would also suggest the modification risks moving away from NPOV - essentially by implicitly denigrating Friels' view rather than stating it. The new edit is also unreferenced (unlike the original). By this I mean that the original accurately reflects sources: it states Friels' argument, and it gives a citation where that argument could be found. The newer version links Friels views to those of "many actors without formal academic credentials", which, apart from being news to me, is an unsourced assertion. It also represents a particular view of what "academic credentials" might be. Friels' NIDA training is excluded and while I can understand (and accept) an argument as to this approach, others may not and it presents a challenge to the NPOV. I will attempt to re-work the phrase to see if I can do a better job on my own draft words of a few weeks back... hamiltonstone 13:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
