Talk:Richard Shelby

message: Richard Shelby official portrait.JPG| Unknown date
Richard Shelby, official portrait, 112th Congress.jpg| 2011
Senator Richard Shelby portrait, 117th Congress (cropped).jpg| 2022
Requesting consensus on the lead image for Richard Shelby. Based on 's reasoning, the 2011 and 2022 images suffer from being too zoomed-out (something I don't disagree with) which in my view doesn't facilitate clean half-crops. Instead, close crops of the head and neck area must be used if a clean cropped portrait is desired. However, the current lead image is not high quality, being only 478 × 598 pixels in size.
For me, I think going back to the uncropped 2011 image, where Shelby still looks surprisingly spry, fit and unwithered at 76, is alright. The zoomed-out aspect isn't exceptionally problematic in my opinion - I can still tell what Shelby looks like from a brief look. SuperWIKI (talk) 06:43, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been thinking about this for a few days now. I do quite like the uncropped 2011 portrait. For a full-body political portrait, the shot composition and background noise is quite good. While I think for shoulder-length portraits tend to be more encyclopedic (ex. Richard Nixon), the color in the 2006 one is quite muted, and it is of lower resolution. Curbon7 (talk) 07:04, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. I only updated the 2022 one briefly because it happened to exist. The 2011 one has been there for years, anyway. SuperWIKI (talk) 07:15, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

message: Research has shown the these eels tend to utilize a dual mode morphing of the mouth in order to engage in lunge feeding (Bioinspired dual-morphing stretchable origami, Kim et al.)

Talk:List of men's road bicycle races

message: A lot of these aren't that important. I think we should move this to 'list of professional cycle races' or something, any objections?
A.K.A.47
: I've now moved it to List of road bicycle racing events. Because who decides whether a particular race is important or not? And as it says at the top of the article, it is for raod bicycle races only, so the new title reflects that. As previously it was implying that mountain bike races etc are not 'important'. But I'm still not quite sure about the new title. Maybe change it to List of road bicycle races or similar? --Vclaw 20:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  XenuGraph 

message: :I checked the BSc thesis that is in question, and its use of Xenu's Link Checker seems to be minor and unremarkable. Like Thrapper, all I could find in the main text of the thesis about this tool is the following: "Link checking was performed with the freeware link testing software, Xenu’s Link Sleuth.  The initial report generated for the visitor pages found only one missing link to a filler GIF that had been incorrectly referenced (see APPENDIX G)." Then further on, in Appendix G, we see a report showing the six broken links. This usage of Xenu's Link Checker can hardly be seen as a review or a commentary on the tool itself. I am puzzled that Cirt found multiple pages in the thesis devoted to this tool, since this is all I came up with by doing a 'Find' on Xenu. EdJohnston (talk) 17:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
