message: After the recent deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States Presidents by longevity in which a similar list to this barely survived I thought maybe it'd be good to take some preemptive steps to save this list and others.  One of the things raised in the discussion was that there were just too many lists about us presidents and that users supported certain lists, but not others.  I just spent some time learning how to use sortable lists and I came up with this: User:JayHenry/president.  It's not completely finished yet, but I'm ready to see what people think -- it combines all of the information from List of United States Presidents by longevity, List of United States presidents by age at ascension to office, List of United States Presidents by time as former president, it also includes dates of birth and death, although it would not be a good replacement for those lists, as they contain other information (place, cause, etc.).  The list is fully sortable!  So what do people think?  If we implement this list I'm pretty sure we can prevent president lists from showing up at WP:AFD.  With some help, this could possibly even be a featured list! --JayHenry 21:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: An unregistered editor is edit warring to add a new "Sex trafficking charges" section to this article. In the many times that they've added this material to the article, the only communication they've made is one edit summary stating "Stop undoing it, you’re a sad person for trying to cover it up". Setting aside the lack of communication and the blatant edit warring, I don't see how this material is related to the subject of this article except that one of the people involved was a student at this university. Of course, we don't include information about every alleged (or proven) crime about every student associated with an institution; we need a strong argument that there is a meaningful, lasting impact on the institution.

Talk:Paucal

message: I am proposing a merger of plural, nullar, trial (grammatical number), paucal, collective noun and singulative with grammatical number. Here are my reasons:
* Most of those other entries have very little in them. They could easily become sections, or even paragraphs in 'grammatical number';
* One exception is the plural entry, which does contain quite a bit, but a lot of what it has could just as well be in a general entry about 'grammatical number'; 
* I think that some of what is currently in the plural article might be used to improve the quality of the 'grammatical number' article;
A related page which is probably best left separate is the one on the dual number, which seems too large to merge with 'grammatical number'. FilipeS 14:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: There are no references, at all. No critical reception. Nothing. And it claims that it is strictly a parody of the title...that's just not correct. Not going to get into it because I have no sources, but that sentence needs to be taken down, and the user needs to be internet-slapped.
Okay, I'm against this "parody of 'Waiting for Fidel'" nonsense.
The movie's title parodies 'Waiting for Godot', as the page says, NOT this other movie which ALSO parodies the first text.

Talk:Out of Gas (Firefly)

message: I just reverted an expansion of the scene where Mal and Wash comically argue about using the navigation beacon to catch someone's attention, because I feel it's simply too much detail for a "synopsis". In fact, even I wrote the entire content of the current synopsis section, I think it's still too detailed. I wrote it (and 12 of the other 13 episodes' synopses) rather quickly to get them established before Serenity came out. I'm hoping that folks will come along and trim them to achieve a more summary view of the episode, because it's not Wikipedia's role to give a blow-by-blow scene description. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Because we are doing this for a school assignment, we have no motivation to be biased.
