message: "It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Jeffrey. (Discuss)"
Definitely merge them. Geoffrey and Jeffrey are just spelling variants. In fact they're sort of merged already, in that they each contain examples of the other spelling. Flapdragon 03:02, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Haha, I'm probably "biased" in that I am a possessor of the name with the spelling of this page, but I believe that "Jeffrey" and "Jeffery" are medieval varients on "Geoffrey"--so then, shouldn't they be merged into this article? -Theaterfreak64 01:26, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Pronunciation

message: I removed: "In North American cultures, namely the United States and Canada, people with this specific spelling of the name are commonly referred to as "The Juice."  " because there is no reference, and I can FIND no reference to this.  If this was "common," I would be able to find something on Google.  I live in the United States, I know Geoffreys, and I've never heard anything about this.  If someone wants this in the article, give some citation.  If it must be included, change "commonly" to "sometimes" because the former is simply untrue.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Platypirfun (talk • contribs) 19:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Political repression in the Soviet Union

message: This article is highly under-referenced, which is especially bad as it makes such bold claims (with a hint of bias). The entire opening paragraph features none, nor does the second, and the third is apparently possibly untrustworthy (It needs a partial re-write to be honest). I'll see if I can improve it.

message: Quote article: "Early on, the Leninist view of the class struggle and the resulting notion of the dictatorship of the proletariat provided the theoretical basis of the repressions." Lenin did not formulate the concept of dictatorship of the proletariat as far as I am aware. I believe that the concept exists in Marx's writings too.

Talk:Proto-Euphratean language

message: This article presents a speculative theory with no academic sources. Searching for "Proto-Euphratean" in the web gives me very few links, mostly directing to email conversations in specialized email lists, and some obscure personal pages. To be honest, it sounds like a fringe theory to me. I'd like to see a clearer treatment of the subject, and more importantly, both POVs presented; i. e. why many (most?) Sumerologists don't believe this proto-language existed at all. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 10:47, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Wrecking (Soviet Union)

message: Solzhenitsyn is not an expert, he got it wrong in hearsay, see :ru:Мекк, Николай Карлович фон (more detailed than enwiki). In fact, this was a common ...er... problem of uneducated Soviet managers and workers, who were notorious at "improving the performance" of foreign machinery by overloading them beyond stated operational limits to improve throughput. Needless to say, this had led to wreckage of equipment. And needless to say that an expert such as von Meck could not have possibly come up with a crazy idea described by Solzh. I remember that in fact the opposite case happened at Dneproges construction when American engineers who were opposed to overburdening American excavators were charged with wrecking and landed in gulag. I was planning to write about this in WP, but got distracted, lost the refs, forgot the name of the American company, <sigh>... - Altenmann >talk 18:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

It's not. While it could be argued that the content of each form are beyond the scope of an encyclopedia, the names and allegories within them, and the details of their potential application are in fact highly revealing as to the essence of Tai Chi, more so than many of the narrative articles.

thread_title:  Removed dead links 

message: Some examples:
1. Part the Wild Horse's Mane (Zuoyou Yémǎ Fēnzōng, 左右野马分鬃), LEFT and RIGHT
The subject is 野马, wild horse. So it is not someone else 'parting the manes' of this horse. I have translated this (into dutch) along this line: 'The Wild Horse shakes its manes lose'
2. Fan Through Back (Shan Tong Bi, 闪通臂), Fan Penetrates Back
Shan = fan is character 扇 . But here we have 闪 which means flash, lightening. Also 臂 means arm....no back to be seen...
there are more issues
I fear the author has just used the common English posture names that are really bad translations. It would have been better to address this translation issue in the article, or at least point out the problems with it. 
I think it would be good to have some native Chinese speaker (and martial artist) to have a say in this.

message: I don't know who's been putting grid references and GPS co-ordinates all over some of these North Yorkshire pages, but I don't really understand their obsession with making this data so prominent. Having two OS grid references above the BBC coverage of the Barlby flooding, the most significant event to happen to the place in years, just beggars belief in my opinion. It's also inconsistent with the coverage of other geographical pages. You don't see these references emblazoned all over the Manchester and Birmingham pages for example. I propose that they be removed, or at least put somewhere less prominent. --Archstanton 11:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Appropriate link 

message: What's here so far seems good, except for the statement limiting the scope of Bancroft's work to the "Pacific coast," which hardly includes Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming.
There needs to be consideration of Bancroft being charged, as I understand/recall the matter, with giving favorable historical verdicts to people based on their support of his work.  Did the AHA take away his membership?  I think so, but I can't be sure at the moment.  Regardless, that needs to be investigated.

thread_title:  Further Work 

message: In the section 'Biography', there is the statement: 
:"He employed collaborators for the preliminary work, and then revised it all, and wrote the most important chapters himself."
 
In the following section, 'Critique of production methods', is the statement: 
:"...he then employed research and writing assistants to organize and produce statements of facts for large sections of a proposed general history. Originally he seems to have intended to use these statements of facts as the basis of a narrative which he himself would write; but as the work progressed he came to use the statements as they stood, with only slight changes."
Do these two statements seem contradictory, or is it just me? WCCasey (talk) 22:55, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they are contradictory, and the first statement is inaccurate. It is sourced to a one-paragraph encyclopedia entry from 1900. (cough...republished press release?...cough) Just a couple years later, one of his assistants, William A. Morris, published the article Oregon Historical Quarterly/Volume 4/The Origin and Authorship of the Bancroft Pacific States Publications: A History of a History (part 1). Since then, it's been well understood that Bancroft's characterization of his role was inaccurate, and came at the expense of his uncredited "assistants," most significantly Frances Fuller Victor. This is a major error in this Wikipedia article, and should be corrected. I'm happy to do so myself, but am still doing a bit of reading to make sure my understanding is thorough enough.

Talk:Root window

message: Technically, there are some things that are not always correct:
# the root window is not necessarily "as large as the screen"; if using Xnest, for example, the root window will be as large as the Xnest window; if using Xvfb, there may be no screen at all; saying that it is as large as the virtual screen would be correct but awkward;
# the root window is not always the background; in particular, if using a desktop background window, the root window will be totally covered by this other window.
However, at least in the introduction of the article, I think that making these two points precise is not a good idea, as that would complicate the definition of the root window. - Liberatore(T) 11:54, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Non-production credits

message: The issue is that an anon user introduced tables but only for King Diamond albums on which Andy LaRocque played. The page is fragmented into two parts and the ordinary text list of albums was enough.
The tables contain the names of the albums, year, record company and a 50px picture of the album cover. However that is simlpy unnecessary because 50px pictures aren't very visible, no additional information about the albums is placed (except for the record companys name but who wants to know that) and the page is crowded and hard to read through. And the table uses a lot of space between the rows!
Since the table is somewhat un-needed and some users preffer just text I propose that we remove it. If anybody disagrees with it please state so on this talk page. This is also the problem on the King Diamond page. Death2 17:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
