Talk:John M. Ashbrook

message: The article seems to be primarily sourced from the Ashbrook Ctr web site. In attempting to add as a source his bio at the Ashbrrok Ctr I had a hard time with formatting. The end result is that I messed up the formatting on the only reference that was there (another page on the Ashbrook Ctr site).
This article could use more sources and those that are there need help with formatting.--Canada1776 (talk) 07:12, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Congressional career 

message: Why is Mr. Asbrook's mother identified as "Marie Swank" when, at the time of his birth, her name was Marie Ashbrook? The article as written leaves the impression that Ashbrook's parents were unmarried at the time of his birth.
Another reader objected to and reversed my change, asserting that, if Mr. Ashbrook had been born to out of wedlock, the article would have said so.
That is not the point. The subject of the article was born to Marie Ashbrook, not to Marie Swank. The information it contains is therefore incorrect, and as such, leaves a false impression that the subject of the artile was illegitimate.
The convention of identifying married women who take their husband's names as "Maria Ashbrook (nee Swank)" (in ths case) is a succinct and accurate method of dealing with this matter.
I would also add that there is a strong feeling today against "dead-naming" - that is, of referring to people by names which they no longer hold, whether at the present time, or at the time when when some past event occurred. Thus, Bruce Jenner won a gold medal, but Caitlyn Jenner has announced her candidacy for governor of California.

Talk:USNS Cumberland (T-AO-153)

message: The purose for Wikipedia is to provide reference.  We do not need to delete small articles we need to fill them.  It is to easy for someone to put up afd, rather than do the right thing which is to do the research and fill the article.  When I first came to Wiki several years ago, this was the spirit, editors tried to build something rather than tear it down. --71Demon 14:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mille (card game)

message: Is this game notable enough to be included? That is, are there any published references to this game anywhere? At least www.pagat.com and US Playing Card Company rules collection do not mention this game. With a quick google search, I was able to find only one mention of the game. (Admittedly, using google is difficult in this case, since there exist too many other things named 'mille'.) Please see Wikipedia: No original research.
Second question: How do the rules about a meld of eight cards work? If you collect several such sets in one hand, can you get several marks during that hand? If you, in addition, do not use wilds anywhere, can you get one mark for a meld of eight cards, and another for not using wilds. Can you get a mark for a meld of eight cards even if you do not go out but the opponent?Punainen Nörtti 14:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Databases

message: There are (at least) two categories for database technologies: :Category:Databases and :Category:Database management systems.  Articles seem to have been placed in one or the other, or both, arbitrarily.  Both categories include a  template, pleading for reorganization.
I propose that :Category:Database management systems be used exclusively for individual database software packages, and that :Category:Databases be used for all other articles that relate to computer databases, including articles on general database technology, database books, database authors, etc.
This would involve:
# Making :Category:Database management systems a subcategory of :Category:Databases.
# Moving all articles that refer to specific database software packages (e.g. Oracle Enterprise Manager, IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft Access, etc.) into :Category:Database management systems.
# Adding notes to the top of each category to clarify the distinction.
Please comment.  I will begin reorganizing on Monday, January 7, 2007 if there is no significant opposition. Tim Pierce 14:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Indonesia Handbook

message: Tourist guide books for English speakers in Indonesia have a rich heritage.  There were the 'Come to Java' editions put out by the tourist bureau in Batavia in the 1920's.
(The 1920s to late 1970s left out for time problem.
With the opening up of the topurism industry and lifting of foreigners travelling into Indonesai after the 65-66 overthrow of sukarno - there was a distinct lack of up to date information.
From 1977 to the mid 1990's Bill Daltons 6 editions of the Indonesia Handbook dominated the guide book scene - thousands of copies were  printed and Dalton did well just from that title alone.
The amount of information in the handbook made it a surrogate 'encyclopedia; of indonesia' for most of the travellers who ventrued through Indonesia in the latye 1907s and into the 1990s when the Lonely Planet  edition took over. SatuSuro 14:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bipolar disorder in children

message: This page was quite deteriorated, with boatloads of off-topic content (that belongs in other articles), and a good deal of it based on primary sources.  Will editors working here please become familiar with WP:MSH, WP:MEDMOS, WP:MEDRS, MOS:LINK, and work to understand that Wikipedia uses links to avoid duplicating information across articles; assessment tools can be described in detail in their own articles.  This article should discuss childhood bipolar, which it is not currently doing, and most of the sourcing here is very dated.  Writing is unencyclopedic.

message: This SO much looks like it was written by the band itself LOL
is "skronky" a real word? o_O
Skronky is a combination of skeevy, skeazy, and raunchy. When you've been at a rave for twelve hours and you find your pant legs have become saturated with a substance all the way up to the knees, that substance is skronky. This one kind of skronky substance, also called "raver gravy", often contains toxic goo from broken glowsticks, dust and dirt from warehouse floors, raver vomit, sparkly glitter and confetti raver trash, plastic from broken braclets and necklaces, crackwhore saliva, blood, condensation from dripping pipes above, and raw unfiltered cancer.http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skronky

message: why did they freeze to death? reasons, what happened?--Tresckow 22:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it was a hundred year ago, would be the shortest answer. Coincidentally, on this year (1902), several records were set in Northern Japan for the coldest recorded temperature (still unbroken in several places) and severe blizzards would have been predicted had today's weather forecasting technology were available back then. Also, while troops were recruited from local areas, very few, actually only surviving soldiers, were from mountain regions and had the knowledge of trekking in snow. These soldiers improvised their clothings and carried extra supplies, as well as taking necessary precautions (never eating snow, for example). Lessons learned from this were used in Russo-Japanese War and beyond significantly reducing weather-related casualties. --Revth 02:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

One of the synonyms is HMD, was it the chemical involved in the chemical spill at BASF in Teeside on 04Jan2007?
This article can be significantly improved, by someone who writes better than I...  For instance, the statement "Presented most commonly as a 50 mg tablet, oxymetholone is one of the strongest androgenic steroids available.[1]" is highly inaccurate, and the reference, a pharmaceutical brochure, does not support the statement.  The article sounds like it cam from a underground body-building tome instead of an objective summary of the pharmaceutical properties and uses.  To reiterate, as an example, oxymetholone doesn't even bind tightly to the AR receptor, so how can one make the statement that it is one of the strongest androgenic steroids?  The strongest AR steroid is metribolone (methyl trenbolone) in literature, so what's up here?  Anyhow, it would be great for someone to fix this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.253.201.155 (talk) 08:51, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
