Talk:Viewing (funeral)

message: This will likely be merged with Funeral, unless the article is expandad, particularly in regard to differing cultural viewing practices. - RoyBoy 800 05:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: It might be useful to clarify the difference between "Viewing", "Visitation", and "Wake".  Though each of these can be different events, they are sometimes merged.  However, this topic might be best approached through a higher level article such as Funeral.  However, the funeral article is very broad and should probably be split apart by custom.

thread_title: Viewing, visitation, and wake

message: This article has a fair amount of info on viewings, but it also has a lot of stuff that’s relevant to funerals overall, but not to viewings in particular.
The subject and scope need to be clarified overall – is it viewings? Viewings and visitations? There appears to be a lot of redundancy between this article and Funeral#Visitation, but also a significant contradiction. That article presents “viewing” and “visitation” as synonyms. Currently, this article presents visitations as a type of viewing, but also, not a viewing at all. Very confusing! I don’t know enough about the subject to fix it, but it needs attention from someone who does.

Talk:Trees

message: Should be merged under Tree (disambiguation) and Trees should be a redirect. No point having two disambiguation pages for two forms of the same word. SCHZMO ✍ 22:35, 20 May 2006 (UTc
::To expand on my comments, this proposal would effectively render the Joyce Kilmer poem "Trees", the song "Trees", and the two bands "Trees" inaccessible to Wikipedia users. No user is going to enter "Trees (poem)" in the search box. If the search string "Trees" takes them to botanical article "Tree", they're likely to conclude that no article on the poem exists. If they click through to the Tree disambiguation page, they can find the Kilmer poem only by scrolling down. Again, many users are likely to conclude that no article exists. 
::My advice: keep the pages as they are. The "Trees" disambiguation page serves a useful purpose that would be jeopardized by a merger.--Chris 17:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Portal talk:Business/Tasks

message: The definition of marketing in Wikipedia is very dated. Product marketing has replaced teh old AMA definition. Marketing doesn't make a sale by itself. Modern marketing starts by determining what customers want and then developing from there. I think you should merge Product Marketing and Marketing.
> I would argue that Product Marketing should remain distinct and not merged for the sole reason that it not be confused or associated with MarCom and other types of traditional marketing efforts. Product Marketing in the technology and Internet sector is quite distinct from the roles of typical marketers who are focused on Product Placement and Communications.
I'm not exactly sure where and how to enter this discussion, but we seem to be suffering from over-attention to minutiae and under-attention to overall accuracy and usefulness. The "Advertising" article is a good example: First, it focuses on one definition of the word (namely, advertisements, which are the products of the advertising industry), and it fails to include a discussion of the discipline advertising and the advertising industry, which are, respectively, the craft and the institution responsible for making ads what they are (and aren't). The result is that the article is pretty bad, terribly incomplete, limited in its scope and vision, and not very useful to anyone wishing to understand advertising and the impact of advertising on all of us, economically, socially, politically and culturally. I also agree with the above comment that the definition of marketing is poor. And this is relevant here because advertising is a subset of marketing, which, as Peter Drucker most famously has pointed out in numerous books, should be the core discipline of all business. Given all this, I'd like to propose a complete re-write of the advertising entry and the creation of several associated entries, including a piece on the rapid changes occurring in advertising as a result of the rise of digital media and consumer control over media.

Talk:John Stubbs

message: An English translation of Camden's original Latin mallei includes beetle which is described in parentheses (apparently by Sir Francis Bacon) as mallet. The wikipedia article on mallets claims that a beetle has a head diameter of fifteen to eighteen inches in diameter! Most croquet mallets outside of a Bugs Bunny commercial are not like that, are they? I am going to remove the word croquet which is not in the Britannica article, either. http://philological.bham.ac.uk/camden/1581l.html Fotoguzzi (talk) 23:49, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

message: It seems the unreferenced claim about Gregerson "writing a book" (at an unknown time) might have had a rather weak foundation. There is a chapter of the same name, "The Commonwealth of the Word", here - but it includes nothing about Stubbs. As we are usually not in habit advertising unpublished - and, indeed, unwritten - publications, whether scholarly or not, without any proof whatsoever, I suppose this passage would fare better if removed, with a slight chance of return should the promised treatise ever materialize. --Ehitaja (talk) 09:24, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Structure<>Cinematography 

message: First off, I'm sorry if I'm doing something wrong here, this my first time ;)
Several (pretty unimportant) things that I believe are not correct in the Plot-Part of this article:
-Part1: Jack gets handcuffed when the officer finds out his license has been revoked, he THEN discovers blood on the trunk and the body
-Part3: Frank does not take his daughters car, it's Aarons... that's why he doesn't care to leave the car behind when the dog runs off.
-Part4: Again, Duffy passes Aarons car...
If it wasn't Aarons car (and it definitely is), several parts of the plot would not make sense.
Please check that out, as a wiki-n00b, I am too scared to edit the article itself ;)

message: Do the transmitters in Sarnia and Chatham actually air Ontario Morning?  I saw a promo on CBET not long ago for The Early Shift that mentioned the frequencies in Sarnia and Chatham. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mjlarochelle (talk • contribs) 01:23, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: At the time the article was originally written, the CBC's own website listed Sarnia and Chatham on the list of markets that receive Ontario Morning. It no longer does, but I have no idea whether (a) it was wrong previously, (b) it's wrong now, or (c) the CBC changed which program Sarnia and Chatham receive. So, if possible, I'd recommend that you or someone else in the area actually tune in the Sarnia or Chatham frequencies some morning to confirm which morning program they air before we change the reference in this article to anything definitive. In the meantime, I have changed it to an equivocal "the CBC used to say this, but doesn't anymore". Bearcat 19:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Evelyn Smythe

message: Given that Real Time is sort of a side-step in Evelyn's chronology (according to Gary Russell), is that the best image to use to illustrate Evelyn's article?

(Evelyn's on the cover of The Sandman too, but it's so ugly I wouldn't bother.)

Talk:Nick Rahall

message: In the second paragraph of this article, it is speculated that Congressman Rahall dropped out of George Washington University purely because of the ending of the draft but no source is given to confirm if that is a fact or pure coincidence. 
Also, it is speculated in the second paragraph of this article that just because Congressman Rahall worked under Senator Byrd, that he is "racist", but of course just as before, there is no source to verify this statement. Working under Senator Byrd is not enough evidence to claim that Rahall shares his views in itself. On that same note, just because Rahall is of Lebanese decent does not mean that is the motivation behind is voting record on the Middle East. All of these above statements would be fine if there were sources to back them up.
I feel these statements should be removed from this "article" if sources cannot be cited to support these claims...if there are no sources to support these claims, then it is apparent that this is not an article, but instead it's someone's opinion piece.
--Caponer 06:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I was a little surprised to see that his positions in the Middle East were only briefly mentioned. I know that he is know to have a pretty big interest there.

thread_title: More Speculation and Opinion than Facts 

message: I find it somewhat odd that the second line of his "early life" section is that he is of Lebanese descent. If he was born in the United States (he was) to parents born in the United States (not sure), then it seems extraneous. We don't include that various public figures are of Irish, or English, or German descent at the top of their bios.

Talk:Atkins

message: Although I edited this page in an attempt to Wikify, I don't think a disambiguation page is necessary for Atkins. It is not the title of any article, other than the disambiguation page. None of the individuals is widely referred to solely by surname. In my opinion, the Wikipedia:Disambiguation guidelines do not requires disambiguation of Atkins.
There is, and should be, a separate disambiguation page for Robert Atkins, since Wikipedia has articles for 2 people with that name.

Talk:Idealized cognitive model

message: This article should probably be moved to Cognitive model or something like that (I note that Cognitive model already hosts another article). In Women, fire and dangerous things, Lakoff seems to use the terms interchangeably but he isn't very clear about it. ICMs mainly figure in his accounts of categorization and color perception, and further on in the book (p281-91 for example) he's often using cognitive model instead. I'm not sure which of the two Fauconnier uses, though I think Lakoff cites him as saying that 'cognitive models structure mental space'. Anyone? — mark ✎ 07:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Lakoff and some other linguists can be quite sloppy with the terminology. In my experience, ICM is the standard term, used by Fauconnier. Frankly, both articles could also be merged with Framing (communication theory), which is simply the application of ICMs in discourse.--Wiglaf 11:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I dont't agree with you in merging the article with Framing (communication theory).

message: User:Darkstar1st - please elaborate, for the benefit of future editors, why you've judged the sources "bogus" as ruled in your last edit. fi (talk) 11:41, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, just some comments. On the first, the source is perfectly valid and in no way "bogus" (it's a well known anarchist journal), but the passage says something different pertaining to something else (as far as I can tell, the global and historical socialist movement, not the WSM specifically), so that's out. On the second, it may have popped up high in search results because it was recent, but Carson's a pretty well known and notable commentator (probably the most widely known Mutualist today), so I'm not sure why you're trying to delete that BLP article. Do a quick search, and you'll quickly find it's not just a random guy with a twitter account. You seem very eager to wholly erase any material you disagree with from WP the very moment you discover it. On the third, the larger political group includes the smaller one, so it seems valid. So, I'm not sure how calling any of the sources "bogus" is appropriate, but I still have no firm opinion on the label one way or the other. Would you mind posting an RfC? If you want to remove it after that's posted, I'll leave that be, though I think the tag is probably more appropriate in the meantime. fi (talk) 06:15, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
