Talk:Scratching (street art)

message: While I appreciate that scratched windows on trains / trams / buses is a phenomenon, it is hardly new, and we have only one article (in german) relating to it. I'm retagging with  until there are more sources. In particular, sources to which we can attribute the claim of this being an artform (let alone a new one). - Tiswas(t/c) 16:01, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Artform" claim is substantiated, I trust it? As for controversial, try riding in a car thus decorated. And if that doesn't convince you, I'll have ask to a teensy little bit of patience from Your Highness, I distinctly recall a couple of blog entries debating the pros and cons of scratching. As for "hardly new", what do you mean, are you aware of references documenting scratching before the mid-90s? Window-scratching, that is, I am aware that scratching per se is about as old as human culture. Paradoctor 16:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's the rub entirely - anecdotally, I can remember travelling on trams / buses / trains, all with tags and images scratched into the windows (and any other surface). The onus is on you to support any claim of newness. Insofar as controversy is concerned, that's not for you or I to decide, but merely to attribute to a reliable source (not blogs, I should point out). Reading WP:5 will give you a clearer guide to what is acceptable or not - Tiswas(t/c) 16:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

You need to provied references of scratching as art (c.f. graffiti as art, a la Banksy et al.- Tiswas(t/c) 16:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Weather scratchiong is an artform or not is completely irrellevant. It is graffiti and should therefore be incorporated into the graffiti article. It is not worth an entry in its own right. If you want to write more about it, then expand the graffiti article. i would appreciate that, since im not to familiar with wikipedia guidelines myself and neither have time to accustom myself with. I found a photo allegedly taken in 1981 in a new york sub showing scratchings.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.134.195.33 (talk) 04:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Denis Istomin

message: Just went to see Davis Cup, versus Japan in Kobe.  Istomin is definitely not 6'2" / 188cm - he's more like 6'5"(; and Dustov walked by me and if anything was shorter (I'm 190cm) - mind you, on court, Dustov did look 6'4" if not his listed 6'5").  But Istomin definitely looked taller than Dustov, both on court and squeezed into a seat watching Dustov play.  I can't find anywhere on-line however that doesn't list Istomin at 6'2 / 188cm.

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: ENGL 2730-05 - Children's Literature

message: The first thing I will be doing is that I will completely re-write the lead section in accordance to the wikipedia guidelines, and it will give a good description of the article with the new information I'll add. Then I will add a "Background" section and a "History" section. Both of these will be done using the articles listed in the bibliography. The article currently doesn't have any history or background on Caribbean literature and folklore. I will also add a "People" section where I'll list notable Caribbean authors and their significant works. I will do this with articles about the authors listed in the bibliography. I will also add an "Analysis" section with the articles used in the bibliography. The analysis will analyze the history, background and cultures and how they work Caribbean Folklore. I will also edit and re-write the "Characters" section to make it more concise and clear. I will also add a couple images to better illustrate the topic at hand. That is the very general outline of what I will change about the article. Isv2002 (talk) 20:32, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

As for drama, I'm not sure what you propose, but wikipedia, as I understand it, doesn't aim to be dramatic in the way that many popular science articles/films/etc are.

Talk:Elections in Hungary

message: In the Local elections section, I've added a link through to where detailed information about the outcome of the last local elections is given in the Wikipedia entry on the 2006 riots.
Thats a bit of an improvised solution. An alternative could be to make the section on the 2006 local elections in that entry into a Wikipedia entry of its own, so it can be linked to both from there and from here. See also the talk page there.
Also, if the "Local elections" section here had not been an empty stub, I would have included the link I added in the section "Latest elections" instead. But until someone writes some general info about local elections in Hungary, I thought it might be better to have this link in the "Local elections" section rather than nothing at all.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The sentence about Mr. Gyurcsany "admitted lying" may be misinterpreted as he would have admitted of lying by himself while in reality his speech was about the mishandling of the events by MSZP. And even that is interpreted widely, so the sentence in the article maybe needs repair (beyond my time and involvement in this topic), because it's right now slightly (or not so slightly) Fidesz-POV. But it is a fact that it was the center of the Fidesz propaganda all along (and it still is; which doesn't imply that they aren't correct [but I believe that they did and will do the same, but this is irrelevant regarding this article]). 
And I am not sure this information belongs here at all. It's just too recent and still a heavy heated topic in Hungary, while this article is supposed to be an objective view of the electional process, and not its actual and latest results. --grin ✎ 12:40, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Cayon

message: The population estimated here for Cayon is very incorrect, regardless of if there is an internet source claiming it is such. A population of 800 is a tragic gross underestimation. According to the results from the 2010 general election, there were 5 polling stations in Cayon, as evidenced here: http://www.sknvibes.com/politics/elections_results_new.cfm , where Cayon is a part of Constituency #8. The total registered voters in those 5 polling stations sums up to 1,761. Because St. Kitts has a near 100% rate of registration of voters above the age of 18, one can assume 1,761 people above the age of 18 living in Cayon. According to the Demographics of Saint Kitts and Nevis page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Saint_Kitts_and_Nevis, 27.5% of the nation's population is 14 and under. Marking this up to include those aged 14-18 could see an increase to approximately 30%. Thus, one can assume that the 1,761 figure represents 70% of the population. Thus, a true good estimate of the population for the town of cayon would be 1761/7 X 10 = 2,515, or roughly 2,500.

message: Today I removed the following, which was the lead paragraph at the time:
"Richard "Dick" Dunn (born 10 August 1920) in the front room of 5 Clovelly St. Watsons Bay to Charles Ernest Dunn, who was the first postman on horseback (known as a letter carrier) in Watsons Bay and a well known fight trainer at the Sydney Stadium, and his wife Blanche née Dykes known as "Totty". She was the daughter of John Dykes, former Mayor of Vaucluse and Phoebe Solomon. Dick's ancestor had been the convict, Thomas Dunn who had arrived on the "Hillsborough" in 1799.  Thomas served his 7 year sentence and later after marrying the daughter of Thomas Bean, a freeman in the colony, became Chief Constable of New South Wales.  From convict to chief constable showed dedication and perseverance and a will to achieve, a family trait that would follow in the generations to come. Another of Dick's ancestors was Patrick Humphreys, who came to Australia on the "Boddington" as a convict, served his time and then became a member of the NSW Corps.  For his service he was granted 100 acres at Brisbane Waters and lived with his wife Mary in Wicklow Cottage Watsons Bay which is known as 4-6Robertson Place Watsons Bay.  They had many children and Theresa his granddaughter married Frederick Thomas Dunn, a master mariner. Dick's brother Billy Dunn was also a fighter of great repute.  Dick married Margaret James in 1943 and his daughter, Carolyn became the first woman mayor of Waverley in 1986."
This is not written to Wikipedia standards, includes inappropriate comments about his ancestry and is entirely unreferenced.  I'm saving it here on the talk page in case somebody wants to include bits of it.  The article looks far better without it.  PKT(alk) 20:10, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
