message: It would be very helpful if you included a guide to the pronunciation of these weird words.  How does one pronounce Hamoaze?  How in 1790?  [HAM-ooze]?

Probably true. A v. crap "hits" album. Title does not reflect content! Don't buy it.
Yeah there is so many good tracks left off this cd, all it has is their most recognizable songs. So many great tracks were just left out.

Talk:Tattooed Millionaire

message: We need a citation for the claim about "Tattooed Millionaire" being about Nikki Sixx. Various sources on the webb say nobody knew anything about it until the biography "The Dirt" - which was published in 2001. Tattooed Millionaire was published in 1990.

Wikipedia talk:Graphic and potentially disturbing images

message: The project page is now 150 kb. I think that's too long for most people to wade through. Also, the fact that there are so many proposals at least suggests that more discussion is needed to work toward a consensus, and that doing so would have been better before opening a vote.

replies: text: I'd like to see some consideration for users who may have practical reasons not to be viewing some of the images under discussion. (Like "I might lose my job and/or be unable to find a job in my field if I were caught looking at this".) We definitely need to have some more discussion of the issues involved. This is very disorganized and seems to have been a bit too haphazardly-developed for a major vote to be taking place.

thread_title: "Encyclopedic"

message: The vote page is flawed, too complicated, and being used for debate not decision.  I will not vote and I will not feel bound by the result of such a mess.   For what it is worth, my view is that images are not the same as text.  However, I also think that the use of an image which is seen by some as offensive needs to be considered as potentially POV, in particular if its inclusion aims at pushing boundaries rather than steering Wikipedia's middle course. So its inclusion in an article can be edited to death, and then be subject to debate in the usual way, on an individual basis.  I also want to be able to use Wikipedia at work and to be happy when my children use it, and I want others to feel the same way. --Henrygb 19:06, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

But some of the images, although drawn, are of a pornographic nature. They didn't want pornography, so they renamed it, made it ok to look at sexually explicit images. This is why so many people voted for History of Erotic Images to be a featured article. No one wants to feel guilty. This just says porn is ok. --Yancyfry 05:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I would like to add an external link to the The George Grey Barnard Papers: 1889-1967 archival materials held by The Met. Please take a moment to review my suggestion and let me know if you have any objections or changes. 
*IN EXTERNAL LINKS: [https://libmma.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15324coll6/id/16

Talk:Fred Levin

message: This article has a lot of great info. Unfortunately it has some incredibly biased sections, notably in the tobacco section:
"The dean of the Senate then secretly got the law passed on the last day of session and at the last minute.  The Senator made it part of another law that everyone supported, and Fred’s amendments passed."
"Secretly" is not a term that should be casually used to refer to legal/legislative proceedings of any sort, unless the article also exposes such a mode of operations. I also doubt that a single senator can "make" something part of another law without even committee approval, and that "everyone" truly supported the law, etc... basically this is a microcosm of problems throughout the article, which has a very conspiratorial tone. Someone familiar with the topic should fix this, as a casual reader might infer some strange conclusions from these claims. I don't want to just delete the POV parts because it is quite possible that there is an interesting story behind this narrative which could be properly explained, with the right level of confidence. -Dean dfsayers@gmail.com 07:37, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Fred Levin/to do

message: Expand: 
Someone who cares should consider the misleading nature of this article vis-a-vis the fact that two law suits, filed by two other states prior to that of Florida, were the pioneering ones in the state-tobacco litigation. Even if evidently neither was denominated a "class action" or that is such if you accept the meaning of what is written here, each had the same net effect.  For some reputable confirmation of the prior filings see http://www.library.ucsf.edu/tobacco/litigation/summary.html
Further consideration should also be given to items already posted on the world wide web which will reduce this article's glowing terms of this lawyer, whose generous gifts should not blind Wiki-scholars to writing a well-balance factual detailing of Mr. Levin's career.
I am unrebuttably not neutral, and for that reason alone can only suggest someone else correct this free ad of a bio note.  Even those without legal training, can investigate with very little www work and begin to obtain a balanced understanding of his biggest achievement, one that some suggest has been shown to be a Pyrrhic victory of the worst sort (that will take a broader understanding of policy and of results).

Talk:West Maui Mountain

message: I would like to discuss the latest article rename. I believe that "West Maui Mountains" is the prevalent English name (note the plural). "West Maui Mountains" returns 17,300 hits on Google, while "West Maui Mountain" returns only 981. 
I know it is awkward that the Hawaiian name is singular (Mauna), while the English name is plural. But, Wikipedia guidelines (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names)) make it clear to use the most common name.

message: The article contains this sentence: "Although the species is not considered threatened, its global population size is estimated between 8,900–11,000 individuals."  I feel like this is missing some information.  What is the significance of the population size?  Is this an unusually large or small population?  Is the number related to the non-threatened status of the species?  Why was the word "although" used?  The rest of the paragraph is also a little unclear to me, as someone generally unfamiliar with the subject.  What does it mean for the species to be of "high conservation concern"?  Does the species play some important role that makes its conservation particularly important?  Contextual information like this would greatly clarify that portion of the article. 76.199.198.138 (talk) 03:49, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

This article (and other like it, be they for role-playing as the Umbra is, or for fiction as Known Space is) provides the backdrop for narrative, but seems ill-suited to discussing characters in anything but broad sociological ways.  Structurally, though, a potential problem is the different kinds of information available.  Some settings (such as the Umbra) are strong on topography, other strong on sociopolitical associations.  How do you propose such a template be structured? Belarius 12:33, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see the need for structuring the template. I see its role as the sign of fictionality of the contents and a warning so as not to use the knowledge outside of its setting. Whole WoD is fictional so all the articles pertaining to in-game topics (as opposed to articles on WoD fandom for example) should have this template just below the title.

It would seem that the Umbra and the Shadowlands are not the same place:
'''
"How do the Shadowlands and the Tempest relate to the Umbra and the other planes?'''
The Shadowlands is part of the Dark Umbra, a part of the Umbra more-or-less sealed off from Garou, mages and anyone who isn't dead. The Tempest is also part of the Dark Umbra. The Deep Umbra and the Horizon Realms have essentially nothing to do with the cosmology of Wraith."

replies: text: I am sorry but there's not a single occurrence of "inconclusive" either in the abstract or in full text. Quite the opposite, the abstract concludes with "Clearly they have some therapeutic potential but further work is needed" - that "clearly" does not sound very inconclusive to me. And in WP:MEDREV I see no whitelist of high-impact journals nor a cut-off value, can you show where you looked up the impact factor of 'World J Clin Cases'? WP:MEDREV even suggests that depending on availability of full text, "the editor may need to settle for using a lower-impact source", i.e. that low impact is not an absolute taboo but just one of the factors. Here, the full text is available, and the reference covers a common disease which was not covered in the article before; even if it is inconclusive, it is still relevant and useful to have it mentioned. I still think your revert was unfounded. 71.7.206.126 (talk) 15:33, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
