Talk:Latte macchiato

message: Hey there coffee fiends.  I noticed that there are two articles for "Latte macchiato" and "Caffè Macchiato", but they both seem to describe the same drink.  Even if they do describe different drinks, the capitalization is not standard between the two articles (the m is capitalized in one article name and lowercase in the other).  Which is the appropriate capitalization for this?  Finally, the article at Caffè macchiato seems to describe the same drink sold at most American coffeehouses as "espresso macchiato".  Given the policy of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), shouldn't we name it whatever it is sold as in english-speaking countries rather than the italian name? --DDG 15:12, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: The German version of this article indicates that the 'layered' variety of the drink wasn't known in Italy, but that this variety which is 'common north of the Alps' has started to make its appearance in Italian tourist resorts. The Italian version of the article, which is much shorter, doesn't mention the 'layered' variety at all - it simply says you put milk and cream in a glass, then pour in just enough espresso (no more than 20 cl) to stain the cream but not enough to seep through to the milk. The recent popularity of the 'layered' variety in northern Europe and north America makes me think it's just another fancy piece of Starbuckery. The German version of the article also says it's been derided at least in Germany as a form of 'gentrification', and mentions 'latte macchiato parents' who are trying to blend family life with a trendy urban lifestyle!213.127.210.95 (talk) 14:52, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infobox 

message: I made a change in the language about the poem "Traveling through the Dark." It had said "the poet discovers that she was pregnant and the fawn inside is still alive." While Stafford said that the poem is largely autobiographical, it is standard in conversations about poetry to refer to the one who's voice is present in the poem as "speaker" or "narrator." I changed "poet" to "narrator" to make a clearer distinction between Stafford himself and the person who is telling the story in the poem. --Tpoling (talk) 04:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  /* Career */ Changed the word "poet" to "narrator" in discussion of "Traveling through the Dark." 

message: It is true that some have compared Stafford's writing to Robert Frost, but most of his influences are from the nineteenth century, particularly Emily Dickinson, Thomas Hardy, and William Wordsworth. I added a quotation from Paul Merchant, a published expert on Stafford to expand on the information about Stafford's style and to expand the list of poets he shares similarities with. I chose to use a quote because the Wikipedia:Quotations page says quotes can "explain things better and less controversially than trying to explain them in one's own words." There isn't exactly a controversy, but Stafford and Frost are too different from one another--both stylistically and philosophically--to allow Frost be the only poet listed as a similar voice. It's both a matter of accuracy and completeness that I added the quote. 
Earlier I flagged the sentence saying that Stafford is often compared to Frost with the "by whom?" tag. It has no source to document the claim, and I haven't yet found such a statement to be able to use here. The few that I found say Stafford and Frost cover similar themes but I haven't found one speaking specifically to style. I would still like to see a reference given for this statement, and may add it if I can find one. --Tpoling (talk) 05:26, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

message: I brought this up at Category talk:Scholars and will do so here as well... how feasible is constructing a :Category:Feminist scholars and what would it mean and how would we determine whether or not someone goes in it?
The phrase is used twice in Christina Hoff Sommers and having a category showing who is a feminist scholar would be very useful. Of the three authors cited after this sentence I could only find an article for Sarah Projansky. I don't know whether or not to consider her one. A category seems the simplest way as an overt stance by Wikipedia on whether or not to consider an article to be about someone considered that, and then whether or not someone is a feminist scholar could be discussed on their own articles instead of on other articles which cite them. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 18:46, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Marc Canter

message: This article previously contained a section about sexual harassment accusations against Marc Canter. Over the years, the section has been awkwardly rewritten with unsourced rebuttals and attacks against journalists (WP:NOR, WP:POV) and blanked multiple times. (See edits between 9 December 2020 and 24 September 2021, as well as the Talk section above dated 9 April 2021 for documentation about the edits.) Given the specific details made in these edits, the contribution history of the users who edited this section (their edits are almost exclusively related to this page), and Canter's self-professed history of policing of the content on this page in violation of WP:AUTO (see Talk:Marc_Canter/Archives/2015), it's probable that the editor who edited/removed this section was Canter himself.
This section could stand to be rewritten, but it was well-sourced from reliable sources and should not have been deleted outright, especially under these circumstances. I've restored the section as it appeared in December 2020, before many of these anonymous unsourced edits were made, and I've requested that this page be protected. I am not a regular Wikipedia editor, and I don't know the current policies and community norms for handling accusations in biographies of living persons, but I know enough to realize that these edits likely violated a number of Wikipedia guidelines and requires some form of intervention. I hope that an experienced editor is able to revise this section and prevent future 2601:142:0:6370:D8C5:A4DD:84A3:65E3 (talk) 22:48, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sutton Park, West Midlands

message: Does size matter? Well, there seems to be some dispute over which is the largest urban park. The article currently suggests that Richmond Park is larger, however comparing  and  it's not so clear, due to the impreciseness of the published figures. Richmond Park's website claims "almost 1000 hectares (2500 acres)", however 1000ha is actually 2471 acres. In either case, the number sounds rather rounded-off, and how close to "almost" is it? Sutton Park's website gives "over 970 hectares (2,400 acres)" as the size, however 970ha is actually 2396a. The figures therefore seem dangerously close and both very imprecise - does anyone have exact figures to compare? DWaterson 01:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aha, found figures for Sutton Park in : area is 900.1ha. Rather lower than the claimed figure... DWaterson 01:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to a House of Commons written answer from the Head of the Royal Parks service (so pretty definitive, I guess) Richmond Park is 955 hectares , definitely smaller than 970 hectares but definitely bigger than 900 hectares. JimmyGuano 05:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent, I will update the respective pages to reflect the corrected figures. Richmond Park wins, it seems :) DWaterson 17:03, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

text: As the author of a Sutton Park website which used to give the area as "some 2,400 acres (970 hectares)" perhaps I can add some comments. At least since the 1922 "Guide to Sutton Park", all of the literature which contains an area appears to use the figure of 2,400 acres. This includes the latest booklet published by the Birmingham City Council (undated but post-2000). The 970 hectares figure simply comes from converting 2,400 acres. However, as noted above, the 2002-2007 management plan (the link seems to be dead but I have a paper copy) gives the area of the Park as a whole as 900.1 hectares (less for the SSSI and the NNR). Part of the discrepancy may lie in whether the Boldmere Golf Course (to the south of the Park) is included or not. However, as best as I can estimate the area of the Park, it is at most 930 hectares (I got this by the old technique of accurately weighing a cutout of the Park from a printed out OS map and comparing the weight to that of  the largest number of included full 1 kilometre squares). So I've amended my website and believe that the Wikipedia page is accurate and most of the literature is wrong. [Incidentally, Bagnall's 1876 flora of the Park gives the area as 3,500 acres!]  Peter coxhead (talk) 21:46, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

The above quote is patently untrue.  The Lexingtons were battlecruisers, were designed as such and even the US Navy described them as Battlecruisers.  HMS Invincible's stemmed from British armoured cruiser designs too, but that didn't make her any less a Battlecruiser...  I have deleted the offending passage.
