Talk:Knox College, Otago

message: Dear Wikipedia editors & users with interest in Knox College and related articles,
Over the past few days I've put together a draft revision of the Knox College, Otago article and, in accordance with Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest advice, would like the green light to go ahead with posting them. I am the Senior Tutor for Knox and receive a scholarship from the College; this does not include any obligation to advocate for the College, either implied or direct. However, this may make me, in some sense, an "officer" of the College and it seems most appropriate to declare my status here before considering any substantial amendments.
As such, I have prepared a Proposal under my userpage and would appreciate any WP:COI feedback before going ahead with those changes. It would be helpful for any updates to the draft article to be reserved until any proposed changes enter mainspace, to avoid developing a separate edit history. Please discuss any WP:COI issues below then, if it is decided that the proposed changes may be enacted, all necessary improvements can be made to the real article at your earliest convenience!
The proposal was originally going to be included here, but for the sake of brevity and in accordance with WP:Talkpage advice to keep the talkpage tidy, it is linked above instead.
With best wishes

replies: text: Hi Philtweir, I've reviewed your proposal and it looks fine. I recommend removing the section beginning "The selective nature" as you considered. Apart from that, I'd be more than happy to see the article changed to reflect your proposal. Great work. That's my $0.02 worth (Disclosure: My father was a Knoxman).

thread_title:  Proposal for development and declaration of interests 

message: A few more independent references might be good, if anybody has some - most of the sources are published by Knox :s Nothing contentious I don't think, just uncontested statements, such as '17 Rhodes Scholars' or the 'Visitor is...', with the possible exception of the Ross Fellowship being the University's oldest fellowship, (now) cited to a statement by the college about the University. As such, I've toned down the original entry to 'one of the oldest' as this seems less likely to raise objection.Philtweir (talk) 03:14, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Selwyn College, Otago

message: As on the Knox college page, I have changed the references to Selwyn being a 'true' Oxford college. It is certainly not. The key to being an Oxbridge college is that virtually all your education happens within the college; this isn't true at Selwyn. Selwyn does have tutorials, but these are more likely to be group study sessions with an undergrad tutor, far removed from Oxford ones, which are weekly one-on-one or two-on-one sessions with a university professor or other advanced academic. Also, the article implied Knox and Selwyn were unique in having tutorials -- in fact, all the halls do. Selwyn certainly aspires to have an Oxbridge 'feel' to it, but it is not actually run like an Oxbridge college.

: Nope, the correct title is Duke Nukem. If you read the History section of this article, it mentions that the game name was changed to Duke Nukum for a while, when it was thought the Duke Nukem name was copyrighted. But before and after that, for the sequels, it's always been Duke Nukem. There is no need to change the article name, and the fact is already mentioned in the article itself.Sega381 16:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Stratified charge engine

message: This article gives the impression that all Diesel enjins are direct injection type.  Surely this is not true? user:Renier Maritz
Not all diesel engines are direct injected! but I think that the diesel to gasoline conversion requires an indirect injection diesel engine because it needs a precombustion chamber that spreads through colder air into combustion chamber. Note also that these engines suffer from high Unburned Hydrocarbon emissions (Borman, Gary L. ASME, Journal of Engineering for gas Turbines and Power Vol 122, April 2000).--Pickup lb 09:45, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Argentine War of Independence

message: This article is painfully short for such an important topic; I think it could also be renamed (Independence of Argentina would cover more ground). The article does not mention San Martín's 1812 battle in San Lorenzo, Santa Fe. It should briefly explain the events of the May Revolution and all the major battles, as well as the political climate both in Argentina and in Spain.

I wikified most of the proper names in the article, although some links may be somewhat less than pertinent: the throwing-around of classical sounding names without much regard to their historical or mythological antecedents is part of what makes Italian sword and sandal flicks so endearing.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indian states

message: * User:Prymshbmg asked on my talk page for suggested changes for the proposed infobox. Here are some quick thoughts (just to get the discussion started):
:# Firstly, the infobox should replicate all the needed fields and features of . A survey of the state and UT pages should show which fields are needed for the Indian pages.
:# Secondly, any fields that are definitely not needed for Indian states and UT can be removed. For example, unlike the  template, the India state and UT template need not support non-metric units.
:# Thirdly, any fields that are usually needed for Indian state and UT articles can be natively supported by the new template. For example, currently Official Languages are specified in the infobox by defining such a field under the optional demographics fields supported by the template; and the HDI and literacy index by using one of the blank fields (see the Tamil Nadu or Gujarat page in editing mode to see what I am talking about). In the new template, these can be pre-defined options. 
:# New fields to be added: This will require the most thought and discussion. I don't have any concrete proposals right now, but any field whose definition and inclusion criterion is not indisputable should be kept out. So for example we should not have infobox entries for popular sports, dances, music, or even spoken languages (as opposed to official languages) etc  all of which are better discussed in the article body.
