message: Today, from New Zealand to the UK, toasted sandwiches are still affectionately called ‘Brevilles’, so much so that the term has been added to the Australian dictionary.
Is there any grain of truth to this? I know it's bollocks as far as the UK is concerned - what about Australia and NZ? 217.155.20.163 23:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Claim on Breville website 

message: The article says:
In 1974, the Australian company Breville released the "Snack 'n' Sandwich toaster", which sold 400,000 units within a year of release, making it one of Australia's "most successful product launches". This toaster utilised Breville's new "Cut-n-Seal" mechanism, which essentially defined the toastie. A further product, the "Breville scissor action snack 'n' sandwich toaster", was released to the British public, also in the early 70's.
Was the British version actually a different product, as stated here, or was it in fact exactly the same product with a different plug on the end? 217.155.20.163 23:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone has suggested this on the Grilled cheese sandwich page. This would be a grievous mistake. A grilled cheese sandwich is a longstanding icon in American culinary culture, and is known only by that name -- not as a "toastie" or a "toasted cheese sandwich." There are even literary references to the grilled cheese sandwich, notably their regular consumption in a basement playroom by Bumpy, the protagonist's brother-in-law, in Frederick Exley's A Fan's Notes.

thread_title:  List duplication 

message: I would like to update the lead to say that 56.8% of the UK students admitted to Somerville in the years 2015 to 2017 were educated at state schools, which is in line with the university average. This is based on the university's latest report (link: https://www.ox.ac.uk/sites/files/oxford/Oxford%202018%20Annual%20Admissions%20Report.pdf) based on 2015 to 2017 admissions.
The principal commented on that figure (link: https://www.some.ox.ac.uk/news/from-the-principal-the-change-we-desperately-need/).
The lead currently states that "Together with St Peter's it has the best record of admitting state school pupils among the Oxford colleges.
However:
1) The lead is out of date as it is based on a Guardian report based on a Sutton trust report (link: https://www.suttontrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Oxbridge-Admissions-01.02.16.pdf), which is based on 2011 to 2013 admissions.
2) The calculation used is also flawed as it looks at places offered per applicant, which is higher when a college attracts fewer applicants. This is discussed in the comments on the Guardian article.TSventon (talk) 14:44, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:XY sex-determination system

message: "Since ancient times, people have believed that the sex of an infant is determined by how much heat a man's sperm had during insemination. Aristotle wrote that:"
I don't believe there is a citation for the fact that people had this belief, at this point it constitutes original research.
Greek philosophers had pretty whacky beliefs (sometimes correct, like the mighty democritus) that in no way represent the view of the populace.
I am doubting the claim that this was a widely held belief and suggest that we change the claim to: "Aristotle believed that:"

thread_title:  Australian indigenous music 

message: I don't think griots are normally considered "classical" in this context. Wikipedia's own article on griots mentions them as being part of an oral tradition, which rather strongly implies folk rather than classical. There is court music from West African that could probably be considered classical, griots may be involved in that in some ways, but the griot tradition is not a formally taught school in which performers seek to emulate past masters.
Also it's ridiculous that Wikipedia doesn't have an article on "classical music" in the general musicological sense. What's up with that? I'm sure there was at one point. I remember working on it. Apparently it has been redirected to this inaccurate, incomplete and unsourced list that contains virtually no info on anything.

message: This article is connected not only to performers categories (singer aso.), but also to singer-songwriter and (specifically) songwriter categories – which seemingly confirms what she said in an interview in the 1980s I recently stumbled upon online. Asked for her favorite pastimes at home, she named two activities: reading and for this purpose collecting cookbooks (not for cooking, at least not in the first place!) as well as, literally and repeatedly, “composing” (definitely talking about music, not about just artistically arranging other kinds of things).
Is there nothing mentionable in her legacy (except that she – only – co-wrote a-tisket, a-tasket)?

Talk:Bernhard Knipperdolling

message: I believe the following statement is in error - "His daughter Clara was married to Jan Bockelson after the introduction of polygamy." The proper sequence of events seems to be that Bockelson married Knipperdolling's daughter after his arrival in Munster, and was separated from her long before he became king or instituted the law of polygamy. He was already married, and had a family, before he went to Munster, but no one there probably knew it. I realize that many of the facts of that time are controversial, and am leaving the statement as is for now, hoping for time to research it and/or find confirmation from others. Thanks. - Rlvaughn 00:20, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: OK, let's talk it out. I don't understand the rationale for the image. It is pretty standard over at WP:VG to omit images of the characters except in articles where the character is the primary topic or it's crucial for reader understanding. For example: Jill Valentine's design is discussed critically on her page. This game has minimal plot and these characters rarely appear, so I fail to understand why we must show a picture of them. With some work this article could go to GAR, but this image fails WP:NFCC#8 and will hold it back. So I ask, how is omitting this image detrimental to a reader's understanding of the article?

Since Christine Jessop's murder remains unsolved, and it can arguably be said that the crime (aside from being notable in and of itself because of the forensics issues and its notoriety in Canada) is the only thing generating any notability for either Jessop or Morin, it seems to me that it would make more sense to combine the material on both individuals into a single article.
