Talk:KROQ Top 106.7 Countdowns

message: Can someone explain to me if there's a reason why the phrase "reaches at" is in this article?  That isn't a construction commonly found in English, but perhaps there's a specific reason it's in this article.  Moncrief 01:00, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
:Two questions:
#Why are those particular songs mentioned? Are they more "notable" than the others? I'd assume that anything that approached the top of their lists is notable as far as songs go.
#Shouldn't there be some mention in these lists about how these songs are chosen? It's certainly not on nationwide sales. Is it the DJs' favorites? The ones they play the most on that station? Requests on that station? As it is it could give the reader the idea that these are the overall most popular songs of each year (sort of like what Billboard supposes it does, discussion on the truth behind that another time). I think it needs clarification if it's going to be included in an encyclopedia. -R. fiend 07:16, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This user has now been following my edits reverting them, including removal of factual information such the article on Virgin Rail Group where Charles has removed the operating subsidiary and replaced it with former subsidiaries, but using the reason of UK not needed per general consensus .

message: We still need to clean up the text and references on reinforcement schedules and applications. Perhaps we should add a bit about intrinsic vs. extrinsic reinforcement. What else needs to be done? Jcbutler (talk) 17:27, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Next steps 

message: OK... I will admit that reinforcer is technically more accurate than reinforcement, though they tend to be synonymous in common usage, as is "reward" much of the time. I see the point you are making, Bsplendens. But I still wonder if it isn't better to use the term that is used in the title. I would also observe that the paragraph is now confusing because the definition still says that reinforcement (not reinforcer) is the consequence of the behavior. As you say, the whole thing could be revised, if you feel up to it. Perhaps defining "reinforcement" and then distinguishing it from "reinforcer" in the terminology section.

thread_title: Birth/Death years

message: The article gives this information: 
"Almost no biographical details survive about him. He modeled his early work after that of the artist Li Cheng (919–967), but later he concluded that nature was the only true teacher. He spent the rest of his life as a recluse in the rugged Qiantang mountains of Shanxi. Besides his admiration and love for the mountain's of northern China little else is known of his life." 
And then gives a citation that does not include all of this information. The only information in that source is that Fan Kuan liked mountains. Where does the rest of this information come from? How do we know that he was inspired by Li Cheng and that he concluded that nature was the only true teacher?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.89.188.187 (talk) 01:33, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Jason Scott

message: About self-references...On the one hand, I would not expect to find Jason Scott's attitude towards Wikipedia in an encyclopaedia, not even an encyclopaedia as broad in scope as Wikipedia. On the other hand, you (User:Leif) are right that Wikipedia:Wikipedians_with_articles in itself violates the self-ref rule in all but a few cases...But I think that's a discussion we should have about that category. User:Sverdrup already brought up the subject on Wikipedia:Wikipedians_with_articles. How about this for a compromise: Move some of JScott's quotes to wikiquote? — David Remahl 01:25, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought the sentence in question was notable enough for inclusion because, based on my prior knowledge of the subject, I was somewhat surprised to read the lengthy condemnation of wikipedia on his user page. In fact, I even emailed him to verify that User:Jscott was actually him (and it is). In email, he also expressed sentiments similar to the above about not being sure if the sentence had relevance in the article, and predicted it would probably be removed again eventually. Though I still  think it's somewhat relevant, I won't push it further. Thanks for starting this article, David. ~leif ☺ HELO 06:46, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: I'm unsure. I'm pretty sure this will be on VfD within a few hours. In my personal view, having been interviewed in Wired and created a successful site is enough for notability. If there also exists verifiable information about the person, then it fit for Wikipedia. And policy (see Wikipedia:Vanity_page) says that "There is presently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required for a page to be included in Wikipedia, and therefore, lack of fame should be ignored in deletion debates.".

message: FWIW, I have been categorizing articles on topics that are not city articles with the "*" alphabetization to lump them at the top of the category listing for "L.A. County".

message: This part was cut out from the text, because it's off-topic here:
: The university claims that employee Szent-Györgyi, invented or discovered Vitamin C.  He used paprika grown in farms neigboring Szeged in his work.  Szent-Györgyi found that it contained an enantiomer of ascorbic acid (which several years earlier was described as Vitamin C by two scandinavian doctors, though the actual character of the substance (ascorbic acid) wasn´t known at that time). For this reason ("for his discoveries in connection with the biological combustion processes, with special reference to vitamin C and the catalysis of fumaric acid") he got the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. 
It could perhaps be used in the article Albert Szent-Györgyi.

message: The following is unsourced information:
*The "Pelaco" sign in the background of the external night shots was already in a dilapidated state in 1986. The production had to have it re-wired to actually light up.
*Tim's keyboard device was called the 'Bovanscope' and was a highly-mutated Tandy 50-in-1 electronics kit.
*Noah Taylor can be seen in the film at a party in one of his first screen appearances.
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source.

 The corporate name "Grand Trunk" remains in use by CN to this day. CN operated the GTW as its primary U.S. subsidiary until privatization of CN in 1995. The GTW has been transformed into the modern-day holding company "Grand Trunk Corporation" under which CN has placed the assets of its U.S. railway subsidiaries Grand Trunk Western, Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacificnd post-privatization purchases, namely Illinois Central
, Wisconsin Central
, and Great Lakes Transportation

Talk:Xerocracy

message: The point of view of this article is so narrow that the article appears dubious to the mainstream. 
:"a society in which censorship is so pervasive that the only way to disseminate information is via photocopied documents and newsletters, often produced clandestinely"
Most people who aren't conspiracy theorists read this and imagine counties like North Korea and Belarus where censorship is really that restrictive. Reading on, (and doing a few Google searches) one finds out that this term is used almost exclusively by bicycle activists in places like the US and the UK. Even though censorship does exist in these countries (and I think there should be less), compared with much of the world, these places are models of free speech and free press. Secret photocopying is not at all necessary to convey ones viewpoint.
Secondly, the word xerocracy implies rule by those who photocopy. This is ridiculous. London and San Francisco are ruled by local and national governments elected by the people. While photocopiers and the bicycle activists they encourage cause annoyance and economic damage, they rule over no one. 
If there are no reservations, I'll try to NPOV this article after a week or so.
