Template talk:Stub/Archive 2

message: However it has come to pass that all the msg:stub articles have come to be redirected to template:stub, what this achieves is to post "1. redirect template:stub" on each message that carried the stub message the old way.

message: I have no idea why there is a little space after the Leki link. Can someone look into that and see why that space is occurring? Also, is it acceptable to specifically talk about the products of these two ski pole companies. Would you consider it advertising or simply discussing the different models of poles that are available for purchase?  — Aurora (Say hi!) 15:15, Aug 20, 2004 (UTC)
This article does not seem encyclopedic to me at all. It seems like an advertisement out of a cataloug or something. I needs to be changed significantly. The link to the outside site should not be inline in the article, it should be in a seperate seciton at the end. Various other formating issues exist. I'll have a go at it I guess.  — マイケル ₪ 15:37, Aug 20, 2004 (UTC)
Aurora, please don't be offended, but I have restored an original sentence near the beginning, it was really clearer. Partly, it was your typo  that I couldn't figure (crutial), but it was also the whole sentence linking there. I agree it still sounds like advertising. Bishonen 22:54, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: "Ski poles were first used to test the snow you would be skiing over. That way you could get a rough mental picture of what you were skiing over. Now ski poles should be used as a timing device not for balance."
These statements seem misplaced (in the paragraph starting with the types of skiing that don't use poles), and contradictory to the rest of the article, or even plainly unfounded.

:It disambiguates this article from Westerly (CDP), Rhode Island. It doesn't matter much to me, though, whether this article lives at "Westerly (town), Rhode Island" or just "Westerly, Rhode Island". If you think it makes a difference, by all means go ahead and move it.

thread_title:  Green building subcategory? 

message: How does one get it done? Under "13th-century architecture" is "1240s architecture" which contains 22 building.  Under "1240s architecture" are "1247 architecture" and 1248 architecture".  Each of these contains a single subsection "Architecture completed in 1248" or something equally ridiculous, because no building commenced in the early 1200s is likely to have remained in the same state for 800 years.  In each of these categories was (until I removed them) a single building, a small church in one, and a one-line stub on a castle in the other. 
This is a completely unsuitable way of categorising mediaeval buildings. Could somebody please delete any category smaller than "1240s architecture"?  And while we are at it. "Architecture of the 1240s" is to be preferred since 1240s is not an adjective.

I think it's interesting to catch a bird's eye view of the different types of cycles (if not being used to hunt for information which might be found first through the topic page dealing with what type of cycle it is)...Anyhow...Got your list.

Talk:Vorik

message: I thought the previous version of this article had so many links in the text it was hard to read. I stand by most of my link removals and I will now explain them: a) it seems unlikely anyone will write articles on plak tow or kulit sona, even pon farr might not get its own article, but I let that one stand; b) I delinked Ensign Taurik since if he is not in fact the same as Vorik, he has only appeared in one episode and most likely will not be considered an important enough character to merit his own article; c) we can be fairly certain that 99% of the people reading this article know what the terms "fictional" and "combat" mean, and linking those terms only makes the text needlessly hard to read. ShutterBugTrekker 20:18, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I wanted to give people a chance to respond before I make the change, but I think the chronology of Vorik's pon farr is wrong.  My recollection (and I just watched this a few days ago) was that Vorik made his attempts on Belana, and attempted the mental link, before finding out for certain he was going through pon farr.  He then proceeds to meditate and take the Doctor's suggestion to use a holographic vulcan to "have his way with her", so to speak (which I may add is a disturbingly easy move towards the objectification of women, which is off in the Star Trek universe in my mind...but that's besides the point...).
Vorik fails in all attempts and then challenges Tom Paris to a fight, but Belana chooses herself as her defender.  They beat each other up and the "blood fever is purged" (in Tuvok's words).
:Yeah, whoever wrote the article got the events in the wrong order. I think it's more likely that Vorik realized he was going through pon farr before he proposed to B'Elanna, though -- what other logical reason would he have to do that? At the very least, when he started thinking seriously, "Hmm, maybe it would be a good idea to propose marriage to my boss..." a light bulb should have come on in his head. :p Also, during his conversation with the Doctor right afterwards, he isn't surprised by his diagnosis (embarrassed, yes; surprised, no).
:My take on the chronology -- Shortly before the events of the episode "Blood Fever", Vorik realizes he is going through pon farr. He proposes to B'Elanna, she rejects him, he loses it and tries to initiate a mating bond with her. He refuses treatment from the Doctor and tries meditation instead. This doesn't help, so finally the Doctor convinces him to try the holographic mate. This appears to cure him, but actually only relieves the symptoms somewhat. Finally, having exhausted all of his other options, he beams down to the surface, challenges Tom, has his ass handed to him by B'Elanna, and they all live happily ever after. 205.153.56.10 19:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Valençay SOE Memorial

message: Valençay SOE Memorial - This article is about the memorial and the memorial was created for one reason only: to honor the names of SOE agents listed on it. The list of names here is singular and integral to the article – the names are not another topic to be linked to because the monument and the names engraved on it are one and the same. Because they are integral to the article, they don’t fit into  "See also" lists, "Compare" lists, "Related topics" lists, or "Reference" lists. However, User:Ta bu shi da yu removed the list of names and created a separate list: List of people on Valençay SOE Memorial's Roll of Honour. If we are to do separate lists, then the related Special Operations Executive (SOE) article needs a separate list of names. If we use this format for articles, then in all author biographys should there be a separate list for his/her books, or separate lists for actor films? For both conformity with many other such Wikipedia articles and ease of reading access, it seems to me that it detracts from the article to create a seaparate list for the names. User:Ta bu shi da yu reversed my reversal  saying: I took this out and put it into a list for a reason. Reverting. My question is: What reason? Following User:Ta bu shi da yu's format, should we then reverse User:Jiang and User:TUF-KAT's REDIRECT from List of Presidents of the United States by removing the list of Presidents names in the Presidents of the United States article and relinking back to the list? Which is the right way? Without much effort, I can add Hollywood Walk of Fame and dozens more such articles that include a list integral to the article. Separate lists make sense where there are several categories of length such as the Wimbledon Championships winners. In these cases it deals with distinct and multiple matters: winners vs losers, male vs female lists, doubles vs singles etc. But when the list of names carries a singular relationship to the article, do we follow the existing setup for "President of the United States" or change it and other such articles to conform to User:Ta bu shi da yu’s separate list system?
