replies: text:  I preferred the original size. I think the picture encapsulates a lot about Unimodal and what the experience would be like, and the thumbnails don't go big enough. An alternative would be to get someone to add more size options to thumbnails, which would help the other 1 million articles too. Stephen B Streater 08:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't think there is anything different with this photo compared the millions of others in millions of other Wikipedia articles. It's not special and it should just be a "standard" thumbnail size, a size the user specifies. /wangi 08:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  But Wikipedia has other options that thumbnails - not every picture *should* be a thumbnail. Its not a standard any more than equation formating is standard. Main pictures are usually larger, and thumbnails are usually for smaller and less significant items. The picture encapsulates what this articles is about - it is not secondary.

Talk:Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease

thread_title:  Parkinson Personality 

message: Shortly after creating Signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease I found Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Both of them have a lot of overlap in content with the former having additional content to the latter since it has a broader coverage. I believe the article "non motor symptoms" should be merged into the more general "signs and symptoms". Additionally the signs and symptoms subsection of the Parkinson's disease article is now a summary of the signs and symptoms article.
Anybody opposing?

So, all well and good - or is it? For what is not mentioned is that - by narrowing and confining the Thames - the river is now far more at risk of flooding.

Talk:Native Americans in children's literature

message: Debbie Reese 18:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I put the tag up on the page, because I'm seeing less what this article is out to accomplish. From the first paragraph of the article, it says there are "a great many children’s books featuring American Indians," but Wikipedia is not the place for such a list. Where is this article going? What subject is it covering? —C.Fred (talk) 21:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It needs to be tweaked; as an editor, that is the call I'm making! (Perhaps my esteemed but non-registered colleague should become more familiar with Wikipedia before commenting on its editing process. :) ) Part of why I asked the question is that I saw the article headed toward becoming a list of books and characters, and a mere list tends to be something that is not always good article material. —C.Fred (talk) 21:46, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Italian NUTS level 1 regions

message: I'm from Abruzzo, which is in Central Italy, and I never heard such a nonsense before. Why Abruzzo had to be included in Southern Italy? It has nothing in common with it, neither geographically nor culturally. The one link is the ancient belonging to old Kingdom of Two Sicilies (dissolved in 1861!) User:82.53.112.137 
: Yes, geographically it is central; however, historically (for over 7 centuries!) and culturally there is no doubt it is part of the south. Abruzzo has much more in common with Molise and Campania than with Toscana or Umbria. Also, this is a moot point since these are official units created by the EU.

Template talk:Western Schism

message: This was originally created by Gparker. I just made it a template. You should refer to him if you have questions, a feature request, or want to thank him for making this. savidan(talk) (e@) 18:39, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I think the name of the template possibly needs to be looked at. The template's title is currently "Antipopes" and it includes links to the articles of Antipopes going back to antiquity and through to modern day figures who claim to be Pope. This means that the majority of those included actually have nothing to do with the Western Schism. Also as the template focuses on articles  Antipopes it does not include articles which relate to topics relevant to the Western Schism. For example Jean Gerson who was a key figure in ending the Schism or  relevant events such as the Council of Constance, the ecumenical councils which ended the Schism. The Council of Pisa is listed, but only to denote the line of Pisan Antipopes. Thus I think if the template is to focus on all Antipopes then it should be renamed probably Template:Antipopes to more accurately reflect its use and content, as the current name is not really helpful.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I would dispute this characterization, but the article is s far outside of my regular interests. I'll state my objection here without placing a  tag in the article and hope that editors more focused on this article will pick up on it. I've only seen one of the two cited supporting sources (); that says that her mother's death "became the building-block" of the rest of her life. That's not quite what the article says, but perhaps the article's slant comes from the other cited source. My dispute comes from this (I happened recently to see this video of the TED talk -- see it from about 14m38s in -- and it stuck with me). That NPR article I linked quotes, "Gillian and I had lunch one day. I said, how'd you get to be a dancer? And she said [that her mother took her to a dance class and] it was full of people like me, people who couldn't sit still, people who had to move to think - who had to move to think." and that her dancing was rooted there. So, I dispute the characterization that she took up dancing to blot out her mother's death. At the least, that viewpoint should be balanced here with the other per WP:DUE.

thread_title: Link

message: Surely this is another failed attempt at expressing an idea. In this case i'm willing, after light research, to infer it intended to label the list it precedes roughly as "from MS, but left out", i.e. 
: "poems in (her) last manuscript, which were omitted in the 1965 edition". 
(Hopefully no WP editor would bore us by listing poems she included in her first MS but later axed! That is grist for much more specialized scholarship.)
My version is "Additional poems in her manuscript"; if that will not be universally understood, i suggest a lead sent within the paragraph would be the best means of clarifying it.  Of course "unpublished" is not an applicable term without distinguishing between publication in the '65 edition and some later ones. --Jerzy•t 18:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: This should be renamed as "Ilmala halt", as the Finnish name for it is "Ilmalan seisake", seisake meaning a halt. A halt offers only passenger services and has no personnel, on the other hand a station has personnel, and perhaps also cargo functions.
: Ilmala used to only have a halt, but it was expanded into a station in 2000 . According to the Railway station article, 'a most basic station might only have platforms', and Ilmala has more than that. The Finnish article is at :fi:Ilmalan rautatieasema (railway station), and 'Ilmalan asema' gets more than six times as many Google hits as 'Ilmalan seisake'. - ulayiti (talk) 22:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
