Talk:Black Sails in the Sunset

message: I'll admit, I may have rewrote several things on the original article, only because I felt it needed more information, and that Wikipedia considered deleting the 'note' column. So I tried trimming it down into 'track notes' and I come back to find them VERY trimmed down, leaving out half the other information. I understood, and simply corrected what the user (kind of) slopped down, and now...it's just gone (the picture of the To Beyond and All Time I Stand spine). Half of the information deserves to be removed, but that simply makes it a stub. Who in their right mind would've removed all of this?--—Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitefirre (talk • contribs) 21:42, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: However, I change my mind on that last problem. I reread the article and think it looks much more clean and improved. I'm also glad my 'release' column was kept.

Talk:Iban language

message: "The Iban language is spoken in Kalimantan (Borneo) by the Iban," 
There is something wrong about this. Why? Because there are more Ibans in in Malaysia than Indonesia. So it is incorrect to write it this way. But, thank you for editing this article. At least somebody out there recognise my people.
Why are there 26 letters representing the alphabet, but it says there are only 22 letters in it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightvd (talk • contribs) 20:06, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Iban language template

message: Thanks for writing this very interesting page!  I made a half-dozen edits to the page to clean up the English slightly.  I hasten to add that there were no outright errors and the style was good but that there are always changes that a native speaker can provide to make it "read better".  I wish I spoke your language as well as you spoke mine!
Here's a (little) suggestion that might make your page more useful.  I speak Indonesian, and no one told me that that meant I could understand Malay until I was actually talking to a Malay person.  I can sort of understand the Iban fragments you have here - would a Malay speaker be able to follow a conversation in Iban, or not?  How does the Iban accent and mode of speech compare and contrast with Malay or Indonesian?
Either way, a sentence describing this would clear things up for a lot of people, certainly me at least!
Thanks again for your work.

Talk:Libertarian Alliance

message: Lapafrax and 199.67.203.140 are trying to forge the history. Chris Tame was only one of the founders of the original Libertarian Alliance, and in 25 October 1982 he tried, without any authorisation, to "explled" five of the thirteen members of the Executive Committee. However, he didn't have the authorisation to do that, and six months later the Executive Committee expelled Chris Tame. Tame then founded his own organisation called "Libertarian Alliance", currently led by Timothy Evans and Sean Gabb, but it indeed can't claim to have been founded in 1967.
If there is any doubt, I recommend reading there two articles:

replies: text: Christ, I wasn't trying to 'forge history', just make the article less confusing.  I take your point about the dates, so perhaps they need to go.  As the article stands, however, it's impossible to tell which Libertarian Alliance is which.  If you don't like describing them by date of foundation, or you disagree with the foundation dates, please change the subheadings.  As things stand, the article is incomprehensible. -   199.67.203.140 13:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Thraco-Illyrian

message: I tried to avoid slanting the article too much toward my POV (very skeptical of Thraco-Illyrian). However, I have the impression that Thraco-Illyrian is no longer favored, so I've indicated that. If someone has evidence that this impression is exaggerated, please provide references. From what I've read, I'm pretty certain that Thraco-Illyrian is currently treated as very hypothetical, and it is not the dominating theory in the field. Alexander 007 11:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also plan on starting Thraco-Phrygian. Not sure if Thraco-Illyrian and Thraco-Phrygian are necessarily mutually exclusive. However, if the attested Messapian language is included in Thraco-Illyrian, there is the obvious problem that Messapian and Phrygian (also attested) inscriptions do not suggest any close relation to each other, aside from PIE, AFAIK. Alexander 007 12:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way, I've read Paliga's quote in context (I have the pdf at hand) and I saw nothing to substantiate a statement such as Thracian and Illyrian being as close as Czech or Slovak, or even Portuguese and Spanish (though that doesn't seem as wild as the Czech--Slovak comparison); always possible of course. I will link the pdf later, in the article. It is primarly concerned with toponyms, not with discussing Thraco-Illyrian. To put things in perpective, it is  quite a claim to even state that Dacian and Thracian were as close Czech and Slovak. Alexander 007 13:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Admitted, this might be rather difficult, bit I have seen situations on YouTube clips were both batsmen were confused and in the middle of the pitch, not knowing what to do and it might be possible to get a run out at one end and then quickly throw down to the other end.

thread_title: Genre identification

message: There seems to be confusion around Freddy Bolsø’s (Blood Red Throne (current), drums) roll as an official member of Enslaved in 2003. I cannot come to a conclusion myself and there isn’t a physical copy of the album in our house, unfortunately. 
Most online sources list him as a session drummer featured on Below the Lights, replacing Dirge after he became burned out. 
However, Wikipedia does not even mention him. Additionally, Encyclopaedia Metallum lists him as a full fledged member in 2003 - they denote live only musicians with (live) after the band name like ‘ex-enslaved (live)’. It does not have (live) after ex-enslaved. But, he also isn’t listed on metallum as being on any studio or live albums from that period (unsure if he is in the DVD from 2003).
Does anyone have any further information or a physical copy of the disc to see which musicians are credited?

Talk:Ghost town

message: The common usage of ghost town refers to a now-abandoned place that was once populated...arguments over remaining infrastructure (and even remaining occupants) ensue.  But this is the most common definition.
But the term can also be applied to populated places that see fluctuation in the number of inhabitants with the seasons.  Namely "tourist towns": "Though crowded in the summer, this seaside village becomes a ghost town in the colder months."
It can also be used to refer to a populated place that seems more desolate than anticipated: "Though the city had a population of over a million residents, hardly a soul could be seen downtown that afternoon; the extreme heat had turned the place into a ghost town."
Though these are less common usages, they still apply.  Should the article reflect this?  71.226.227.121 (talk) 09:31, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

I have attempted to significantly improve the article by reorganising, adding references, eliminating content that appeared irrelevant and adding new content. In doing so I have carefully reviewed better articles of nearby London areas such as St John's Wood, and attempted to use similar structures etc wherever possible.
