text: It depends. Some people object to them outright because they see them as collections of trivia. Other people believe that they are valid demonstrations of how pervasively known a topic has become. They can be either of those depending on the implementation. Sourced cultural references can have a place in articles, sometimes as a list but usually better presented in prose. You might want to bring it here to the talk page first before putting it in the article and get others opinions about the particular items you have in mind.

message: "The group's music is a novel synthesis of punk rock and new wave but[1] their lyrics are strictly focused[2] on science fiction themes, Atomic Age futurism, alienation and consumerism[3]." - I disagree with three things:
# But? Why punk rock/new wave BUT consumerism and alienation?
# That sounds like they had very narrow frames which isn't true, because
# This list is somehow odd. One of the first songs they recorded is "Beat my guest" which is about abuse - a popular theme in their music (including Crystal Clear from the last EP) and relationships making about half of songs(including abusive relations) - like erotic Bathroom Stall, This day, It's you. I checked all songs to be sure and science fiction themes are really rare - and I even included songs like "Molded plastic" which is a metaphor or "Synthesized" which refers to simulacra and lack of reality/naturality, I'm not sure if that really qualifies as sci-fi. I'm not saying we should add all these topics, but really, does "strictly" fits here? We can put any band in such box. 
"The Clash played mostly punk rock but their lyrics were strictly focused on social problems and futuristic, dream-alike visions (Armagideon Time, Remote Control). Their lyrics, sang mostly in Spanish, prominently used cute puppies like Rin Tin Tin" - take one song, read single verse, extrapolate it and viola.
My proposal is: "The group's music is a novel synthesis of punk rock and new wave. Their lyrical themes include relationships, abuse, alienation and consumerism, sometimes using science fiction themes and Atomic Age futurism as a medium.". What do you think? 
The next sentence is "Robots{1? 2?}, androids {0? Eventually 1.}, clones{1} and nuclear weapons{1?} all figure prominently in the Epoxies' lyrics". In brackets I gave my estimates for songs containing given themes. They had futuristic image, but besides that there's no much sci-fi. 89.69.127.250 (talk) 16:54, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Biased much? 

message: The section regarding "60 Minutes" seems to follow the same timeline as the movie "The Insider" did.  But an FBI affidavit filed as the result of a search warrant on Wigand's home after he found a bullet in his mailbox suggests the events happened in a different order.  It was immediately after the "bullet in the mailbox" incident that 60 Minutes terminated all protection for Wigand (according to the affidavit).  Although the movie is based on a true story, the statement that some things have been fabricated is stated at the beginning of the film.  So the film should not be considered a reliable source, or at the very least not overruling of other sources.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gmiller123456 (talk • contribs) 04:52, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

message: "At the time, both the addictiveness of nicotine and the health hazards of cigarettes were well known by the company and the industry..." and almost everybody else on the planet, I guess.  What sort of a secret is that?  What proportion of the population believed the tobacco companies when they claimed or implied that nicotine was not addictive and that smoking cigarettes was not harmful?  The doublethink on the part of the industry and its customers is much more subtle and involved than that.  Moletrouser (talk) 10:57, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Problem - duplicate articles

message: Subsequent to the above, I have now turned Metamorphosis trick into a redirect to this article. The texts of the two were very similar indeed (main difference was this article was slightly more recent and had section headings and a reference). The other main difference was the following text at the end of the other article, which I have moved here to talk rather into the body of the article.
:
:The Metamorphosis uses a device known as the substitution trunk, which has a secret panel that allows its occupant to sneak out. Having extricated himself from the sack in which he was tied, Houdini would climb out of the hidden door and crouch behind a curtain lifted by his wife.  The two would quickly change places, Houdini appearing behind the curtain as Bess disappeared into the box. Bess would then emerge from the box and sack wearing a different costume.
:In a variation on this method which is slightly more easily performed, the sack is in fact an open tube of hessian attached at one end around a hole in the back panel of the trunk. The magician steps into the tube (which appears to be a normal sack sitting inside the open trunk), and the sack is chained or otherwise sealed. By this point, the magician has slid out the tube and is hiding behind the rear of the trunk. The trick proceeds as normal from this point, with the assistant entering the trunk via the back rather than the hidden hatch.
I have placed the text here because it is not sourced and the publication of methods is contentious. My view is that methods should not be published without solid sourcing as per WP:Attribution - see  WikiProject Magic talk page.

message: The spell used by Rabbi Loew during the fire does not remove the spirit of Azaroth from the Golem. The German title cards clearly read of the people begging Rabbi Loew to use his "fire spell" to stop the fire ravaging the ghetto, and that's what they're celebrating him for later. It's only during the celebratory parade that Rabbi Loew even remembers the Golem that he has totally forgotten about ("But what about the Golem? Where is the Golem?"), and that's when the creature is aleady outside the gates with the children. --87.180.197.207 (talk) 19:04, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Look, I'm a strong supporter of another music and athletic program — that of North Scott High School's in Eldridge, Iowa — but that doesn't mean that I'd expect a complete article about their extra-curricular accomplishments when it can effectively be summarized within the confines of the high school article (and quite honestly, I'd request an afd or a merger if I were to come across such an article under WP:NOT). Same goes for any other high school in Iowa, and the United States ... and I'm sure even the most avid boosters of a particular high school, understanding the purpose of Wikipedia, would agree.
