It is also likely all done by a single person who has made a series of bad edits, recently. However, if someone can find a way to reinsert the deleted text in a better form minus the useless info, by all means have at it. --Millbrooky 05:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Per the WP:Disambig page, "If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary." Since the current radio station call letters are the primary identification and the former callsign of the other station is a secondary identification, a hat note is sufficient and requires no more steps than would a disambiguation page for people seeking the radio station.- Dravecky (talk) 00:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not an expert, or even particularly interested in snakes/reptiles (I _am_ interested, but just as a general topic). I noticed that the article for Loreal pit is woefully short, with few details. Clicking on the WL in the first sentence of the article, going to Pit Viper, I find that that article goes into minute, exacting detail regarding the Loreal pit...and all of it in the lede, rather than in the body of the article; almost no mention in the body at all.
I think the two articles could use some tender loving care by a subject matter expert or even merely an enthusiast, in order to improve this imbalance in coverage and the stylistic defect in the lede of Pit Viper. I'm not equipped to do it justice.  cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 19:31, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

This is (from my understanding from newspaper articles) untrue and a new report with a new proposed system is due this coming September.

Talk:Mississippi Nights

message: What do folks think of the fit of the "notable artists" section of this article? I'm concerned that it contravenes the Wikipedia policies as an "indiscriminate collection of information" and original research without supporting references. In its current form, the list is already unwieldy (in my humble opinion), and without some filtering mechanism could conceivably grow to a ridiculous and virtually useless list of thousands of artists.
If consensus is that such a filter would make the article better, as a preliminary suggestion, may I suggest something along the lines of limiting mentions in the article of particular artists in the article to either (1) a short list of very well-known artists who have played at the venue (to establish its bonafides for folks who want to get a feel for the place) and/or (2) narrative descriptions of artists' specific noteworthy performances at the venue. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wtroopwept (talk • contribs) 19:30, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Slatkin did not become prominent because of the BBCSO; he was an extremely well-regarded conductor long before that thanks to St. Louis. I am not taking a viewpoint on the above debate, but the article should reflect his extremely long and well-regarded career in St. Louis against his relatively brief one with BBCSO. On an unrelated note, I think the commentary on his personal life is not appropriate. Not because it isn't (currently) sourced, but because I would hope (as a listener to both kinds of music) that we could hold the articles on classical music to a slightly higher standard, especially with living persons, than the pop culture ones. -Sarcasmboy 09:19, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Prominent in the US perhaps, he was still not that well known in the UK until the BBC appointment (although he had done some guesting with the other London orchestras). By all means expand on the St Louis position, but I don't think the current amount of space given to the BBC SO is unduly large. Similarly, the reports about his personal life did have a big impact on the way he was perceived over here, and again are only a very smll proportion of the article (though they could be de-emphasised by not having them in a separate section). The issues with the BBCSO also seem to parallel some of those mentioned with the NSO - people's reputations do change over time. Note that in the past I have trimmed some of the worst nonsense about Slatkin and the Proms. David Underdown 09:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

The Dogon are a relatively isolated ethnic minority located deep in the interior of Mali, way too far from the coast of Senegal where Akon's family is from. Wolof and Fula ancestry would be believable, but there is certainly no evidence that there is indeed any Dogon ancestry. Thus, I am removing the claim that he has Dogon ancestry.

Talk:Jimmy Connors

message: There is almost nothing in this piece on the Connors style of play. I saw him live and recorded and recall tennis mags of the time talking about his flat, low balls which went against the trend of massive topspin. I also recall in I think The Year in Tennis 1978 there being something about him training only 2 hours a day. Some editor here is shutting me down on this stuff because he wants references and frankly I am at a loss. Any suggestions? I also need a reference for Connors taping his racquet head with lead tape, for th relative weakness of his serve, for his western forehand grip, and, as if it was not obvious, for the fact that they guy had a double-handed backhand. Thanks.
I started watching/following tennis in 1973/1974. I was at Forest Hills in 1974 when Connors won his 1st US Open and was at the 1978 Wimbledon mens final where Connors lost to Borg. I have seen Connors play dozens of times on TV and never once thought he used a western grip on his forehand (Rafa Nadal uses a western grip). This Wiki profile of Connors does mention his use of tape on his racquet under "Racquet evolution". I will go and look at video of Connors swing but think his forehand grip was an Eastern grip. Connors was known to hit a "flat" ball off both his forehand and backhand, although one can clearly see, at times, topspin on both sides. 
Just want to let Wikipedia know about an error; in the opening paragraph about Connors, it is erroneously stated that Connors "retired in 1996". Elsewhere, you state that he got into the Tennis HOF in 1998. In fact, Connors retired in 1992 and was inducted into the Tennis HOF in 1998. The source is my wonderful tennis memory and your very own key of his playing career, listed near the bottom of this page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19D:C080:3D20:5169:F897:A70:3451 (talk) 18:55, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Carbis Bay

message: I think that you are maybe being a little over-zealous.  Oxford English Dictionary defines picturesque thus. 
adj.1. Having the elements or qualities of a picture; suitable for a picture; spec. (of a view, landscape, etc.) pleasing or striking in appearance; scenic. Now freq. in weakened sense (sometimes depreciative or ironic): pretty in an undeveloped or old-fashioned way; charming, quaint, unspoilt.  
The St Ives Bay line is considered by many to match this description (If it was describing Camborne I’d probably agree with you!).  In the sentence you edited, the term directly deals with the following statement that it is one of the few profit making branchlines in the country (i.e because it is beautiful and attracts tourists, not because it is a commuter trunkline!) and thus adds subtle context to the sentence.  I realise that you are trying to ensure that the article doesn’t sound like a tourist brochure, but the rest of the article doesn’t read like one so I think it’s a justifiable use of the term. If you want to add some text to clarify this point I am happy with that Mammal4 13:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
