Category talk:Destroyed populated places

message: This is a somewhat odd selection of cities, isn't it? Most ancient cities have been destroyed at one time or another, and lumping them up together with thriving cities that have ancient roots and cities that have recently been devestated by disaster seems a bit loose to me.--Doron 12:54, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Someone seems to have been using this category as if were something like "Cities that experienced catastrophies" or "Cites that suffered devastation". Many cities in the category were not destroyed. As nothing has yet been done to remedy the problems noted for some 3 months, I am going to start removing non destroyed cities from this category. -- Infrogmation 19:33, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Category either badly named or badly applied

message: Maybe the distinction should be "Wiped from the map", that is, destroyed and stayed destroyed. This would leave out the numerous cities almost destroyed by war or natural disaster but rebuilt. It would also exclude cities abandoned or died out over time. But it could include ancient cities that were destroyed, but stood on what became *sites* of future cities--after all, cities/towns are usually sited at particular places for a reason. Yes, there would be some ambiguity at the margins... Doprendek (talk) 19:20, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Stayed destroyed?

message: There is now a category for "Destroyed cities" and another for "Destroyed towns". I moved a (stub-size) article I had created to "Destroyed towns", because it was a village, not a city, but I see that the category "Destroyed towns" is largely of towns and villages inundated for reservoirs and the like.
Or is "Destroyed towns" specifically under "Urban Studies and Planning", that is, places destroyed with forethought as part of a large development project? In which case a more specific, less confusing category title seems necessary.
Suggestion, if the "Urban Studies" distinction does not apply: One category, "Destroyed cities and towns", and no need to distinguish between 1) cities and towns, 2) natural vs. man-made destruction. Doprendek (talk) 19:20, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Re-jig

message: The latest edit by PetaHolmes rmoved Boxing Kangaroo as there was no article.  The is an article on the Boxing Kangaroo (by and large I contributed most of it) and it was not a red link on the template.  In its hey day at the time of the Americas Cup win in the '80s it was a well-known flag.  Perhaps, the edit summary meant to say something else, but if it really was because there was no article, it could be reinstated.--A  Y  Arktos 18:41, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The boxing Kangaroo article is not about the boxing Kangaroo flag, that's why I removed it from the template. It's also not an "offical flag" in any sense, it was just made up some clever marketing people, its listed on Flags of the World as Varia.

message: I do not understand the exact reasons for rollback of "The Gurjaras of Dadri and Sikandrabad area began destruction of inspection bunglows, telegraph offices, and government buildings as they were symbols of foreign rule. The government institutions were looted and burned to ashes." There is nothing unusual in the contents pertaining to the Indian rebellion of 1857 as the editor is trying to say something about the involevement of people in the rebellion. The style may not be appropriate, and references may be required. But, the editor should be guided. The reference to certain social groups may not be out-of-place and a historical truth of their participation in the movement to free India from the British rule. I would try to put the contents in perspective, if possible by me. --Bhadani 00:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Rabid Neurosis

message: I am not sure if RNS is the first mp3 ripping group.  RNS was indeed one of the first groups on the mp3 scene if not the first.  They focused on rap & RNB initially.  In the early months of the scene literally right after the codec was available there were only two groups at the time ripping with the intent on creating a scene.  DAC (Digital Audio Crew)(efnet #DAC) and RNS (efnet #RNS).  The scene was very, very small, starting off by just releasing individual songs.  I was a member of DAC.  This was our release list at the beginning of 97.  Consider the fact that back then it took hours to rip songs and a long time to transfer due to low modem speed, we clearly released alot of songs in 1996.  By the time #mp3 blew up (mid '97),DAC was pretty much dead.   All of this predates napster, p2p etc.
Does anyone know where i could fined a list of all there releases theres so many lol.

Talk:Major League Baseball rosters

message: It appears that the new roster template format has a downside... Now the templates are too big to include all of them on this page. I just learned that there is an upper limit to template transclusion, as detailed at Wikipedia:Template limits. This is why the Pirates roster looks wonky and why no rosters after that point display.
As far as I see it, there are two solutions...
#Rework the templates to reduce their size. I don't like this option because it'll be too labor-intensive and we'll lose some of the sweet changes that have been made in the last few weeks.
#Split this page into two: one for the AL and one for the NL. For simplicity's sake, American League rosters and National League rosters. This page will be kept as a disambiguation page.

message: The article is very unclear with respect to the linkage of Roosevelt Roads to Vieques.  Roosevelt Roads was primarily a support base for Vieques but also was used for sub training and counter-drug activities.

You didn't sign your comment but that whole article makes reference to having no need for the Naval Station if Vieques was closed and it says the Governor is referenced saying "Calderon has never taken the linkage seriously.
