thread_title:  Merge Strainer into Sieve? 

message: This article is about food/drink and is presently named sieve. There are many many links to sieve that have nothing to do with food and/or drink. I think it might be a good idea to move this page over to Sieve (food) or Sieve (food and drink) and repair the links that describe "sieve" in the context of a kitchen to that article. This would allow Sieve (disambiguation) to be moved to Sieve. I'm not sure if I'm selecting a good name here to move this article to, so I'll wait a bit (a week or so) to see if there is are any other suggestions or comments. +mt 21:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: An idea, certainly. But how many of the derivative meaning of sieve are based on this underlying sieve? This is the fundamental one. This is unlike many disambiguation pages where things just happen to have the same name or abbreviation. Stephen B Streater (talk) 08:21, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to another name 

message: The article begins by saying, "A sieve, or sifter, separates wanted elements from unwanted material using a filter such as a mesh or net."
Researching the etymology of filter as coming from Medieval Latin filtrum "felt,"http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=filter--felt being the material through which impurities were strained from liquid, and understanding the construction of felt to be non-woven fabric (it's matted together by heat, moisture, and pressure, instead of being woven or knitted)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felthttp://dictionary.reference.com/browse/felt, we can deduce that a sieve is NOT a filter, as the construction of its screening mechanism IS woven--digitally organized & orderly, not messy and haphazard.  
I propose a sieve be referred to as a screen, perhaps, but not a filter.
I may seem to be nitpicking, but that's what wikipedia is about, right? Achieving clarity. : )
Anyone have insight that contrasts what I am proposing?

message: Dr. Mario himself does not have a page for the character. so the Dr. Mario link on the Smash Bros. template goes to the series. This is the same reason why the ice climber's link goes to the NES game becuase there is no character page. As for DK, he himself has a page, so the link goes there, but becuase dr. mario or ice climbers have no character page, they go to the series (or game) they are featured in. So please keep the template on th Dr. Mario series page.→041744 05:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

message: So who decided which games were main games and which ones were remakes and ports?  I couldn't find any official statement by Nintendo about this.  This is just my opinion but it seems that all Dr. Mario games after the NES and Game Boy releases are remakes with updated graphics and different multiplayer options.

message: I propose making this an article on the general idea of the wild dog, and moving the handful of other meanings to a "foo (disambiguation)" page. bd2412 T 14:16, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If someone types "w-i-l-d-_-d-o-g" into that search box, something should happen.  But what?  I think that this page has to do the job of helping the person find what they are looking for.  They might be looking for one of the characters or novels and such, or they might be looking for article about the Dhole, which in India I gather is called that way.  They might be looking for an article about wild dogs in the broad sense; such as Canids.  Maybe we offer the person might not be looking for those dogs but to learn about feral dogs on the other hand.  As it stands now, anyone who searches for feral dog gets sent here, so there is no one article about feral dogs and I think there should be.  We do have several articles about different dogs that are clearly feral, but also ones like the Australian dingo which are probably better called a wild dog than a feral dog.  It's not like there is a clear line between them.  Maybe this article is the place where we explain the difference between a wild dog and a feral dog and explain all about the grey area between the two in as exhastive yet as brief way as appropriate.  We should put ourselves in the mind of a person who just typed in "wild dog" and think about how best to serve him or her and offer all the articles that he could be looking for and no others.

message: When I was reading the article's introduction I found a rather strange sentence, regarding to the band's music:
        "Their sound has been described as 'divine, classical drone without the tedious intrusion of drums or vocals'.
I thought it was kind of hilarious, at first, but after then, when I visited the reference page I came across this line:
        "A wise man once described SOTL as 'divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals.'"
When I read the first sentence, I asked myself: "who could have said something like this?". It is a strong and very personal sentence. Almost as if it was written by some critic, or a fan. Only then to find out it was written by a "wise man".
In my opinion this line should be removed, because it seems too personal, clashing with the impartialism an encyclopedia should have.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.106.53.22 (talk) 05:13, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
