Talk:Cang Xin

message: This article needs some major cleanup before considering it for copyediting.  There is hardly any biographical data on the artist.
I moved most of the lead paragraph to the style section (can be renamed Theme) and added an infobox.
The list of works looks more like a resume. It should be spilt into two sections
1) In his Career section, give each major work a paragraph in prose where you can go into detail on how he developed the project and then which museums displayed his project and the reception he received.
2) List of selected works, with entries such as
Title of Work (Year)
Needs more information on Influences, background, personal life.
I removed the paragraphs about performance art in China, and the 798 Art District. Although they were perspectives that were written by Xin, they don't relate how the background has affected his career or vice versa.
If you need an example for a performance artist page, you can see Carolee Schneemann. Note the categories and how they list things there.

Talk:Wireless Zero Configuration

message: I removed this section, due to it not being from a reliable source: Confronting WZC Troubleshooting - Wi-Fi Planet Forums:
:Due to the way that WZC is designed, there are several problems that may push some users to abandon it in favor of another wireless configuration utility.
:1. Since WZC uses the SSID of a given network to determine whether or not to connect, it will not distinguish between two different networks, and may connect to a network other than the one that the user intended.
:2. Even if a user signifies one of two networks with the same SSID as a preferred network, the WZC may connect to the other network if the preferred network does not have SSID broadcasting enabled.
:3. If you do not use 802.1X encryption on your network, the WZC may interrupt wireless service in an attempt to authenticate security.
While this information seems to be correct, we need to locate a better source for it before including it in the article.  -/- Warren 16:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bait fish

message: It is not recommended to put or hold bait fish into one's mouth as a way to handle it or as an amusement tricks. There is known case of man being choked to death by putting a bait fish in his mouth and it lodged in his throat, causing death.
This is important as it serves as a safety precaution and warning for any fishermen or amateur anglers who might practice this dangerous habit and suffer the consequence.

replies: text: I apologize for deleting your entry as vandalism, and thank you for your contribution. I can see that you are concerned about people choking on bait fish. However Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and it is not Wikipedia's role to set out safety precautions and warnings. If you read this guideline, you will find it says merely being true or useful does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. I doubt many people put live bait fish in their mouths, and even fewer then choke on it. If we were to add your section to the article, then to be consistent, we would have to add more sections warning people not to leave bait fish on the floor, where people can slip on them. No doubt someone else has died that way as well. And then warnings about not letting bait fish bite you, in case the wound goes septic and kills you. And dozens of other unlikely, but possible things that could happen with bait fish. Then the central information about bait fish, that people come to the article to read, would be lost among screeds of information that most people don't want. --Geronimo20 (talk) 08:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Cyanide fishing

message: Unless I am mistaken, cyanide poisoning operates by blocking cytochromes, NOT haemoglobin. There is an antidote for cyanide poisoning operates by making cyanide bind preferentially to haemoglobin instead of the cytochromes, which is fine because likely doses of cyanide are much too low to sequestrate sufficient amounts of haemoglobin to do any damage. It is carbon monoxide that poisons in the manner described in the article, as naturally-occuring doses of CO are much higher, sufficient to do damage in that way.
Unfortunately I do not have the necessary expertise to write an article in much more detail than what I have stated above, so I have left the article as is for now. That said, if anyone wants to quote any part of the above in order to rewrite the article, feel free.

Talk:Basnig

message: I am wondering about the definition of this "fishing technique"  This article is not written in a professional level of English and needs to be rewritten by someone knowledgeable with this.  According to the Philippine Fisheries Commission in the order linked, they describe it as follows:  
"Basnig - a type of lift net which is either conical oval in shape, or in the form of an inverted mosquito net, the upper corners and upper sides of which are connected by rope lines, serving as pull ropes, attached to the bamboo poles lowered by means of weights down under the boat. This gear catches fish (that are attracted by lights operated by the boat) by lifting the net through the same outrigger or bamboo poles and pull ropes."
In that "fisheries administrative order number 94" they describe a Basnig as a type of lift net, and not specifically a technique.  I am not a subject matter expert on this fishing technique or I would clean this article up myself.  Any takers?Traveler7 (talk) 03:45, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems some modern references are to the net itself as basnig or the technique of its use as basnig, whereas historical references such as "The large 100-foot double-outrigger canoes called basnig" over at this academic source refer to the boat as basnig.

message: Due to a lack of sources to establish independent notability for Richard George, I propose that the entirety of the article (a few sentences) be merge into its own section in this article. I can find no non-trivial sources that would help expand the George article; all of them seem to relate directly to this and are not substantial enough for a full and neutral biography on this individual. Furthermore, there is a lack of sources for claims such as "Many blame him for not standing up to creditors' demands to liquidate the business", which means that, if he is still alive, there are potential WP:BLP issues (WP:BLP1E?) at play as well. If there is consensus to do so, or if no one comments within a week, I will undertake the merge myself. Cheers, CP 21:30, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The unsigned comment above, traceable to a user who is editing in a certain manner on just a couple of topics, shows a misunderstanding of search, and of encyclopedia article naming. Clontarf parish, or Parish, is a generic phrase, which could be, and is (I live locally) used about any of a number of faith communities. Wikipedia requires that articles be about specific topics, and use appropriately specific titles, and a generic such as "Clontarf church" or "Clontarf parish" is a perfect example of where disambiguation is needed. The current situation, with Church of Ireland Parish of Clontarf and Parish of Clontarf (RC) looks fine. And I have just checked my Diocesan Handbook and there are two RC parishes called Parish of Clontarf or more informally Clontarf Parish, with their saint name appended in brackets.
