thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: 1) This article concerns someone who I question the notability of.  I know he's a perpetual candidate, but I don't think that every perpetual or occasional candidate necessarily merits an article.
2) More importantly, half of this article does feel like an advertisement for a not-yet-written book.  To some extent, therefore, I think this falls under the definition of a "Coatrack" article.
3) The article has mot, to all appearances, been improved in well over a year.
Therefore, I believe this article should likely be deleted.

message: Danny Goldstick is not retired. I spoke with him personally recently. He still teaches a load of around three courses per semester, but has no committee obligations. The fact that he is listed as emeritus on U Toronto's site does not necessitate that he is 'retired'. He told me, in fact, that he avoided mandatory retirement, and opted not to retire when he had the chance at 65, choosing instead to continue teaching at a reduced load. 67.166.32.152 (talk) 01:08, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Daniel Bernard (diplomat)

message: Bernard's reply does not deny nor confirm comment, as is standard in such cases. Presumption that comment true, but no proof. 
What is particularly interesting is contrast between English and French press comment (cckkab repasted French press comment edit,... edit by all means but please do not delete!).
:I find it strange that there is no article on him on French Wikipedia. Is he not popularly known at all in his home country? This affair was a huge scandal in the English-speaking world. Drutt (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: 2006 comment by Cckkab

message: There seems to have been at least four Daniel Bernards running about:
* an ambassador known for his Shitty little country comment;
* a Canadian politician, Daniel Bernard (politician);
* a former CEO of Carrefour, Daniel Bernard (businessman); and
* a Brest and Ettelbruck footballer, Daniel Bernard (footballer) (or are those two different footballers? I note now that one is said to be French and the other to be Luxembourgian).
(Check "what links here" from the redlinks above.)
Whether this page should be moved to Daniel Bernard (ambassador) or Shitty little country, I'm not sure.  But where it is, it is just confusing.  I don't know if any (or all) of the Daniel Bernards merit an article, but until I checked and updated three articles just now, they all linked here!  So, I think it would be most useful if Daniel Bernard ended up as a disambiguation page.

Talk:Daniel Chanis Pinzón

message: I'm trying to source the article, and there are no hits on Daniel Pinzón that aren't about a wrestler in Florida, but Daniel Chanis is well documented. Even the list of Panamanian heads of state refer to him as the latter. There is currently a redirect from Daniel Chanis to this page, I would think flip-flopping them would make more sense. Vulture19 (talk) 21:44, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem either way, though you may need help from an administrator if the "Daniel Chanis" page has had more than one edit. My original redirect was caused by finding the name "Daniel Chanis" under the letter P in some category, after which I found out that the defaultsort was set to "Pinzon, Daniel Chanis" and the German and Spanish wikis have named their articles "Daniel Chanis Pinzón". Turns out the defaultsort setting was wrong (it has been corrected by now to "Chanis Pinzon, Daniel". Given that "Daniel Chanis Pinzón" does give google hits (161 sites if you exclude wikipedia) for this short-term president, and that his full name does appear in multipe (non-wikipedia) lists of Panamanian presidents, a redirect is not particularly urgent or necessary. There probably should be one policy; I have no idea why we have Domingo Díaz Arosemena, Ernesto Pérez Balladares, Florencio Flores Aguilar, and Harmodio Arias Madrid, while for most others, including Arnulfo Arias Madrid, we only use the first surname. One would have to ask a Panamanian, but my preference is for the full name, as the French, German, and Spanish lists of Panamanian presidents consistently give the full name. Afasmit (talk) 22:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the response. I won't pursue this further as your reasoning is dead on and inarguable. I only posed the question through unfamiliarity with the naming conventions. Thanks again! Vulture19 (talk) 14:58, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Daniel Coxe

message: The section on family needs to be cut and researched, if family information is considered desirable - the Mary Coxe alleged to be Dr Coxe's daughter has been confused with someone else (Mary Burnett's will was proved 26 Mar 1752 - PRO Catalogue Ref Prob 11/793 Image Ref 144) which I'm afraid makes the whole page look rather spurious.

message: There are a few difficulties here. John Tatham seemed to be linked to the wrong person. Mary Coxe might have been a Maid of Honour to Queen Caroline, but was Queen Caroline the wife of King George I? Surely George I was married to Sophia Dorothea of Celle. There is Caroline of Brunswick married to George IV of the United Kingdom, but they are much later. Some might look into these questions. --Finn Bjørklid (talk) 22:51, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Just noticed the following: "Bruce Sterling's 1996 novel Holy Fire takes its title from the third stanza." In 1997, I emailed Bruce Sterling at his well.com address to ask if   the title of "Holy Fire"  was a reference to Yeats and he said no. Unless he has since changed his mind, it seems a bit of a stretch to assume that a two word title which coincides with two words of a poem definitively means that the title is a quote from the poem.

thread_title:  operating income of MUFG Bank 

message: I just feel that the whole article is unbalanced.  It talks a fair bit about the formation, which is fine in itself (though one sentence about the merger of UBS is irrelevant), and then launches straight into a whole long list of controversies, which makes up more than 2/3rds of the page.  There's nothing about its actual operations - how many countries, branches (there's a one liner giving 2009 data as if it were still current), do they have a securities house, consumer finance, relationship to MUFG - the parent group, etc. etc.? 
Apart from a very little bit about the history of Mitsubishi Bank, its components' history are almost ignored.  We're told there was "infighting" between employees of the former banks within UFJ (presumably Sanwa, Tokai and Toyo Trust, though it's not even clear if that was the final line-up), with no reference - nor any indication if the merger with Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi improved or exacerbated the merger pains.
Overall it has huge gaps, and I'm not sure about the neutral point of view.  I can't really help out with facts, (I was actually looking for info about the former Tokai Bank, which forwards to this page - and there's an internal link that is circular).  Not sure how this can be improved!

thread_title:  Surfing the Internet 

message: The verb "to surf" in a general way mean gaining speed from the gravitational effect of being on the downslope of an ondulation (my best interpretation if the word, used in a physical meaning). Practically, the ondulation is usually swell or broken swell that we name wave. Windsurfing, kitesurfing and a number of sport derived from what most use to call surfing ( standing on a surfboard ) is not essentially surfing, but can allow some surf action. Speed and freestyle windsurfing have nothing to do with the act of surfing, while slalom has a little and waveriding had a lot to do with, as examples.On the other hand surfing can be executed by boats, small or large and is actually a quite important parameter while going downwind for a sailing boat ; a helmsman going downwind is mostly playing between surfing the swell and adusting trajectory to better wind angle.
These are exemple to show that, in my opinion, the term surfing should be defined more accurately, as windsurfing and kiteboarding should only be mentioned as descending sport from surfing, not less than skateboarding but the act to surf with a boat should be more investigated as its a important part of sailing. A way to achieve this is i think to define more precisely the verb "to surf". Pogojump (talk) 22:15, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

I don't know whether "Gas" is better described as an alias of Voigt or a project by him, but in either case it can easily be added as a section of the Voigt biography article. If the combined article ever becomes very large, it might then make sense to refactor the Gas section into a separate article, with a summary in the parent Wolfgang Voigt article.

message: I'm pretty sure Roadwork is supposed to take place in the Midwest, and specifically Wisconsin. The only evidence that it might take place in New England is that such a large number of King's novels are set in Maine. But in Roadwork we get numerous references to Chicago (Magliore is there when Bart first tries to contact him, for example) and the letter Bart gets from the city is addressed to M----, W----. There are no states that begin with the letter W east of the Mississippi aside from Wisconsin and West Virginia. College football is a motif, so I'm guessing the story takes place in Madison or Milwaukee, but definitely not New England. 128.192.59.150 14:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
