message: On 29 June 2008, User:159.134.130.196 added some information to the personnel for the song. The existing info was sourced to an authoritative source by a reputable user (User:Underneath-it-All), and I can find no evidence that this "Ronain Kitt" person exists at all. Also... I don't think there's a guitar in this song. I don't have access to the CD liner info though. Following up with User:Underneath-it-All. Dcoetzee 21:02, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The comparison of life on Don Juan Pond brine with life on Mars' brine (recurring slope lineae) is not substantiated so I deleted the text and refs.  The NY Times quotes Chris McKay saying nothing grows on the water of Don Juan Pond. Other than that, no cited paper compares the 2 brines, which by the way are indeed different: Mars' brine is perchlorate salts, while the Don Juan Pond is CaCl2 and NaCl. In addition to that, there is the variable of atmospheric pressure.  Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 14:31, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Relevant guidelines include WP:IG (which I linked in my edit summary) and WP:NOTREPOSITORY (which I didn't).

Talk:Kaplan University

message: I was reading the section of this article on the federal lawsuits and became concerned that it was not written in WP:NPOV. In particular, it includes seemingly irrelevant material that a plaintiff in a lawsuit was separately convicted of threatening the article's subject's employees. Further, it contradicts WP:CONTENTIOUS and WP:IMPARTIAL with terms like "frivolous" to describe the lawsuit of Urquilla-Diaz.
I searched the order in the Urquilla-Diaz case, and the court never uses the word "frivolous," nor does it appear to criticize the plaintiff of acting in bad faith. On reviewing the source of this text, I discovered that the brunt of it was added on 28 March 2017. Concerningly, the editor responsible for these additions and the edits to it over the succeeding months, @Ahawk37 is a proxy of the article's subject.
I am thus going to pursue editing this section when I have time available to correct the factual misrepresentations in the article that are, by any reasonable measure, a puff piece by a proxy of the article's subject in contradiction of WP:COI (who exclusively edits articles related to this subject and Purdue University Global, its successor entity).

This wording occurs also in the end of the previous section that's quoted from...."restored to the public domain" is maybe a US legalism but it sure sounds odd; from the native perspective, that is.

thread_title:  Citations? 

message: The graph is misleading, using length as the x axis is not the best choice, since a dodecahedron with a side length of 1 is much larger in volume than a sphere with a radius of 1, and the SA/V ratio is size-dependent. Perhaps the graph should be remade using volume on the x axis to give a better intuitive representation. If, as I suspect, this doesn't generate a lot of discussion, I may just do that. Drunaii (talk) 04:48, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Misleading Graph 

message: This article states that the surface area to volume ratio of a sphere in n-space reduces to nr^(n-1). I could swear that nr^(n-1)/r^n = n/r for all n-space including zero and negative? There's apparently some backing at this web site:  https://www.aqua-calc.com/calculate/volume-sphere claims 3/r for three dimensions, with unity for radius 1.
It seems like a transparent and trivial error. I'd prefer someone with more mathematical prowess to make the change. I'm more of a user and lurker than an editor.
I'm also wondering about the implications of this ratio for black holes that form from infinitely small singularities. What if instead of gravity tearing rubber sheet spacetime into a wormhole, gravity rather folds spacetime into a two-dimensional 'soap bubble daughter universe' that resides only at the event horizon and contains nothing on the inside, not even space, even as it continually eats and expands?
Ah, not a physicist... please fix the error if it's truly 1/r and you can send me my Nobel prize in the mail under the social distancing of Covid-19.

Until then, I added a link to the list of Security Council Resultions from 1991 from the UN itself, which has the full text of 686 and all the other in PDF. But I guess part of the over-arching philosophy of Wikipedia is to be as self-contained as possible, right? And thus to have primary documents like this within the Wikiverse and not external?

message: I would think every entry in Timeline of New Zealand's links with Antarctica would establish the entry's connection to both New Zealand and Antarctica.
*John Sac, a Māori travelling with Wilkes, becomes the first New Zealander to cross the Antarctic Circle[1]
*Closure of Vanda Station
*17 January Captain James Cook and the crews of his expedition's ships, Resolution and Adventure, become the first explorers to cross the Antarctic Circle[1]
The first entry listed above is a good example of what should be here. It tells of the first New Zealander to cross the Antarctic Circle, so it is clearly relevant to both New Zealand and Antarctica, and it has an inline citation to a reference. 
The second entry, however, is a poor example. What's the connection of Vanda Station to New Zealand? Was it built and staffed by New Zealanders? If so, that should be established; if not, it probably doesn't belong in the list. 
The third entry is an example of what should not be here. Although it is a well-written and well-referenced entry, Captain Cook was an Englishman, not a New Zealander, so it doesn't belong in the list. 
I'll go ahead and tag some of the entries with relevance tags, and some with citation tags, as relevance and verifiability need to be established. I may remove some entries as well, if they are dubious or clearly irrelevant. Wilhelm Meis (☎ Diskuss | ✍ Beiträge) 15:35, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
