Template talk:Nero Wolfe

message: I added a "related articles" section at the bottom of the template so there would be a place for Black Orchid Novella Award, Nero Award, and The Wolfe Pack. These are important and related to Nero Wolfe and there wasn't any other place to add them. I hope others agree. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 18:46, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

message: Given the number of red links that appeared in September 2020, I'm wondering about the need for all of Robert Goldsborough's Nero Wolfe novels to be listed. Is an editor prepared to create an article for each of these 12 additional books? If not, I think the redlinked text should be removed. This is already a very busy navbox, and the titles are not redlinked even on the Robert Goldsborough (writer) article. — WFinch (talk) 15:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:The Mini Page

message: I'd been meaning to start a Mini Page page for ever! I just checked back in and see that you started one yesterday! I tip my hat to you!!! PurpleChez 01:55, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you have a reliable source about criticism directed towards the Mini Page, feel free to add that information with the proper citation. Every statement in the article is factual, cited and unbiased; it doesn't include any statement suggesting that no one has ever criticized the Mini Page or found fault with it. Even if there were hundreds of editorials denouncing the Mini Page, it wouldn't affect the truth of any of the information currently in the article, that I can see (although, obviously, information about such criticism should be added if it exists). I am therefore removing the NPOV tag, unless you can point to specific non-neutral statements. Propaniac (talk) 13:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Talk:Wolf collar

message: I'm not sure how far we want to go into the aspect of the dog part vs. the BDSM part so I'm not going to edit it quite yet, however if we wanted to put more into the origin, from what I know the wolf collar ("carlanca") was first worn by the Great Pyrenees or Pyrenean Mastiff; which means the spiked collar originated from Spain, Aragon region if true. Though, it could be have worn by turkish guardian dogs first, seeing as
# It's nicknames are Turkisk or Kilim dog collar
# Earliest mention of a spiked collar I can find is:
Mellart, J.: Archeology of Ancient Turkey, London 1978
Mellart wrote the next, about the Phyrgians (750- 300 BC)
"... and a graffito on a wall leading to an outdoor lavatory shows that most ferocious of Anatolian animals, the kocabas (big-head)) sheepdog with a spiked collar as a protection against wolfes."
And then there are pictures from 1389 picturing dogs with collars, and other old mentions such as:
"VARRO (116- 27 BC. ?) "De re rustica" II,9,15
"... ne vulnerentur a bestiis, imponuntur his collaria, quae vocantur mellum, id est cingulum circum collum ex corio firmo cum clavulis capitatis."
(In order to scare the wild beasts away, they are armed with ring shaped collars covered with nails)"
http://www.territoriopresovcharka.com/62b.htm there's a nice good site with reputable information (well, they cite within) about the wolf collars.

Talk:Snapring

message: Actually, the page circlip has what I would want for any page on snaprings, but it's named, well, circlip.  On the one hand, circlip is a term that I never heard in 20 years as a mechanic, but from the references it clearly is commonly used in the Commonwealth countries.  In the US, the term snapring is used for this class of item.  I think the proper thing to do here is to have the snapring page redirect to the circlip page, and edit the circlip page to reflect that different parts of the world use different words for this type of object.  I don't yet feel up to this, if someone else can do this. -SandyJax 02:03, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tetrapod (structure)

message: removed " through satellite photographs". sources? plausibility? beyond even the military. reality - breakwaters are monitored by guys in boats
I've been to Crescent City, CA, where they have a dolos displayed with an explanatory plaque saying the numbers on the tetrapods / doloses are intended to monitor movement through SATELLITES (i also walked on the breakwater and can affirm that some of the doloses / tetrapods are in fact numbered).
If you have any information that this is incorrect please present it. I think it should be obvious that small movements in breakwater elements cannot be observed "from a boat". I could be wrong of course...so make your case.

The word "tetrapod" as such can only appear in fringe publications, not in Japanese. The refs are the Japan Times: I can't read the article, but I expect the author is confused about what "tetrapod" means. The second ref does not include the prefix 'tetra'. Even if marginally true, this is just mubblefluff.
