thread_title: How about deleting article?

message: I removed mention of "According to author Paul Peachey, it is the essence of Vegetius's maxim si vis pacem, para bellum (if you want peace, prepare for war)" as I could not find it—the phrase "peace through strength"—in the source. I was reverted with an edit summary that indicated it (presumably the phrase "peace through strength") was in the full text. Yet a google book search led me to page 303 of Democracy: in the throes of liberalism and totalitarianism where I found the reference to Vegetius but no mention of "peace through strength". I am going to remove it again. -Shootbamboo (talk) 00:34, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

message: This article was mentioned in "No Peace for Hawkish Think Tanks Over Reagan Slogan" (Washington City Paper, Sept. 14 2012). Mostly it's in regards to this edit by User:Gjames755, which User:Gobonobo subsequently corrected within WP:POV and WP:MOS guidelines. Green Cardamom (talk) 05:33, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

message: It's obvious American Security Council Foundation is editing this article and promoting itself. "ASCF urges millions to join Coalition for Peace Through Strength". ASCF has already been publicly embarrassed in the Washington City Paper (see above). What further damage ASCF wishes to reap upon its credibility by continually editing this article with blatant political PR is interesting to watch.

Talk:Soundz

message: Lifebaka, why do you insist on removing the official MySpace links for Soundz? Why have you removed some of the resource links to other sites? Also while I'm on the subject, why have you added a  citation/footnote tag, and a notability tag? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Olorinjoyce (talk • contribs) 18:30, December 31, 2007
:I have added the tags because I believe that there are problems with the article that should be fixed. For the notability issues, please read the WP:MUSIC criteria, which I am not sure he passes any of.  The use of inline citations in the body text (particularly using  tags, which look nicer) will help prevent editors from labeling it as cruft and nominating the article for deletion.
:As for the links, none of them are valid, reliable sources.  I removed social networking sites and blogs only.  Because people are able to post whatever they want on these sorts sites, they are not able to be used as reliable sources.  I hope I have answered your questions.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 04:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine, keep it in as an external link to his official page.  Precendent seems to allow that.  However, it is still not a viable source.  Soundz can put whatever he wants on the site, so the same arguement applys to it as applies to forums and blogs.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 16:22, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Hai Lung-class submarine

message: I think the Dutch Zwaardvis and Taiwanese Hai Lung classes should be removed from the Barbel-class template, with a separate template made for the Zwaardvis class, including the Hai Lungs, especially as they were all built in the Netherlands. A similar appearance and general arrangement does not amount to "the same" class. There is no indication from the articles that assistance of any kind was received from the United States in developing these submarines. Also, the Barbel-class' beam is 0.4 meters more than in the Dutch-built classes. RobDuch (talk) 21:56, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Holly Hughes (performance artist)

message: The new text added here is very confusing.  Please clarify the sequence of events and define your terms.  What did she write?  What did she direct?  What is the nature of each of these works?  Are they monologues, plays, or how can they be described?  Please describe each more clearly and in chronological order.  The infobox says she received grants from the NEA, but the article says she was denied a grant.  If she received any, please describe the time frame in the article, and how the grants affected Hughes and her work.  What did the NEA say about her work?  Why did they give her grants?  The introduction of the article should give an overview (summary) of the whole article.  I took a quick look at just one of your sources, Hughes' bio at the university.  I can see that it contains lots of important information that is not here.  Please examine your sources and draw all the important information from them that will allow you to build a clear narrative about Hughes' life and works.  How do the critics describe her work?  What do they think about it? -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:25, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition, please add the references that are missing in the article (where it says "citation needed").  Information that remains unreferenced must, unfortunately, be deleted.

Talk:Joe Beeler

message: There are WP:NPOV problems with the language of this article. E.g. a statements like "Joe Beeler was a pioneer in contemporary Western art" cannot stand on its own and need proper citations and attributions. Similarly, "there aren’t many artists who can claim such versatility" is really a stament of opinion. I hope that people familiar with Beeler's work can add some references here and clean-up the article for the neutrality of language as well. Nsk92 (talk) 16:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Hit of the Week Records

message: :Image:HitOfTheWeekLabel.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:HitOfTheWeekLabel.png

message: Don't know how to tell you this, but I have a collection of "Hit Of The Week" records dated 1941-1942 - notably by Tommy Reynolds and his Band of Tomorrow - which were sold by Holyoake Plastics out of Holyoake, MA.  I have no idea when they started and stopped production, but my guess is that the classification of the more usual record materials as "stratigic" during WWII made them practical again.

Talk:David S. LaForce

message: An editor has added a cn tag to his date of birth. I have checked biographies of several other living persons and do not see their birth dates sourced. Admittedly I took this date off of the subject's Facebook page, so he could be totally making this up. However, the date works with independently known facts, especially that he was in his late teens when he was hired by TSR in 1978 (which would be age 19 if his birth date is correct.) A more experienced editor may be able to help out with this subject. Guinness323 (talk) 18:47, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: For some reason known only to them, there's a category of vandals that like to fudge people's birth date info. This is subtle enough that it can unnoticed for a while, especially on more obscure bio pages, which is why sources are useful. For basic, non-controversial/non-promotional info like this, self published sources are acceptable. Facebook is sub-optimal even for a WP:SPS, but it's usable.

One possible citation for this phrase is the 1994 TV news magazine America Tonight.  The TV listings for that show state 'artist Mark Pauline's "most dangerous show on Earth"'.  A p. 6 of 2002 book or gallery guide also has the quote, though you may need to search GBooks for "most dangerous show" "Mark Pauline".  Another ref is  that says "Their byline is 'producing the most dangerous shows on earth.' " This source might be quoting the SRL website]. So maybe the article could be updated to state:
