Talk:Heavy Load (Transformers)

message: I'll be quick, and blunt. You're idiots. I know, I know. That's not very "Wikipedian" of me. But, come on. The "debate" was a three-way vote. You ask large number of people, they'll tell you this name is ambiguous. The first Google search result related to a Wikipedia article is the film. Come ONNN! Besides, I'm just being bold. Now, if you excuse me, I have some work to finish. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 18:17, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. You know what, that was wrong. Not most of it, but the "idiots" thing. That's old Ace. Let me just make my case, with four main points:1. The name is verifibly ambiguous, with at least three popular uses.2."Searches/views" are invalid because, as one of the debators said, people could easily be looking for something else and just happening upon this page. If Protoman, for example, was listed simply under "Blues," would that mean he's the most popular use of that name?3. One reason I left Wikipedia (mostly) was because of bureaucratic formalities like the electoral debates. Three people showed up! That's grounds for trying again with better advertising, not leaving things as is.4. If I'm wrong,--riight--another debate might bear that out. As people if they think the article should be moved back. I doubt you'd get a consensus. Which, again, is part of the problem.
Wikipedia can be a great project; but sloppy, inconsistent management/oversight breeds stagnation and prevents rational problem solving.
ps: I mean "you" in the general sense. (e.g. "you guys".) 
Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 17:18, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

text: I would agree that the main page should be a disambig page and the Transformers character moved to Heavy Load (Transformers)]. When it was written there were no other uses of the name on Wikipedia. There are now. Mathewignash (talk) 22:24, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Colonel Blimp

message: I'd take issue with the opinion that Clive Candy is supposed to be Colonel Blimp. It's more subtle than that. I think that the film's title refers to the fact that he is perceived as Colonel Blimp by the young men of the 1940s in the film. However the film spends practically all of its time demonstrating that Candy is a much more complex (and more decent) character who doesn't fit the stereotype except in the most superficial manner. Colonel Blimp may be out of touch with reality because he believes things that don't make sense but Candy is only out of touch with reality because he believes in Honour and Goodness in an increasingly wicked world. -- Derek Ross | Talk 16:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Drunken Bakers

message: This strip is one of quite a few that originally ran in Zit comic, before it went out of business, and had some of it's staff and strips absorbed into Viz.
Around the same time, Chris Donald, Viz's creator and editor, was suffering stress-induced health problems from running the comic, and retired at quite short notice (see "Rude Kids" autobiography, by Chris Donald). The comic took in much more material from outside creators, having previously had nearly all it's content produced in-house by the 4 staff.
Anyway, seems worth mentioning. I don't feel up to editing the article myself.

thread_title:  Some Jinty links for future reference 

message: This is kind of a misquote. The original source is an episode of Chain Reaction (radio) in which Moore is interviewed by Stewart Lee and he doesn't call the strip itself "cynical and possibly actually evil"; he says that the effect writing strips like this had on Wagner was to turn him cynical and possibly evil. It's also clear in the original context, but not so much in the New Statesman piece, and certainly not in the bare quote here, that Moore approves of this, calling the resulting strip "quite funny" and attributing the success of 2000 AD to this mindset. 92.30.134.89 (talk) 14:16, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Maryland Route 615

message: This sentence is in the intro: "After I-70 was constructed east of Hancock in the early 1960s, MD 615 was extended along the old alignment of US 40 parallel to the new freeway." However, looking at the Hancock 1:24000 quad, 1968 reprint/overlay of the 1951 edition available at the USGS archive, it appears that east-west 615 was new construction while 40/National Road became the eastbound lanes of I-70. Mapsax (talk) 14:55, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The easy way to remove the dubious information is to rewrite the sentence so it does not provide dubious information. You can be bold and do that yourself if you want. The hard way is to use the sources and try to support the statement in the History section, then summarize that in the Lead.  VC  01:26, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I wanted to make sure that I was interpreting things correctly, or that the USGS quad wasn't in error. Mapsax (talk) 15:35, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You are partially correct. Looking at the Hancock quad maps and the adjacent Cherry Run quad maps (1951 and 1972), it appears some parts of the original US 40 road became MD 615 but some parts were destroyed in the construction. I do not think we can claim parts of old US 40 became the eastbound lanes of I-70 or that I-70 was built parallel to old US 40; rather, part of old US 40 became MD 615 and parts of MD 615 parallel to I-70 were new construction.  VC  00:56, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Zach Weinersmith

message: The following information was deleted:
 Weinersmith's great-grandfather emigrated to the United States in 1925, and much of his extended family was killed in the Holocaust.
While the information is self-published/primary source, I believe it would qualify for some of the limited exceptions carved out. It being used to support a fairly limited point, and is unlikely to contravene any Wikipedia policy on the biographies of living people.
Do other editors have additional thoughts on the matter? PvOberstein (talk) 19:32, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: My opinion is it may be verifiable, but doesn't meet inclusion threshold, per WP:PROPORTION, WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:VNOTSUFF. The majority of sources in this article are already primary sources, or interviews. Giving undue weight to the points of view of the subject brings this closer to a fan-article or collection of trivia. There is also the reliability issue of a Google Doc: even if we are going to cite self-published work, the bar should be high enough to credibly verify that Weinersmith is the actual creator. --Animalparty! (talk) 20:20, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: With regards to WP:PROPORTION, I believe what amounts to a one-sentence line on his ancestry is not disproportionate. Many Early life sections of artists contain very similar information. I don't believe it's "Unbalanced", because there is nothing really to balance against (competing hypothesis as to his genealogy?). Regarding WP:NOTEVERYTHING, I believe the content is inherently encyclopedic (factual information as to one's background), not particularly fannish or trivial.
