thread_title: Revision

message: I removed Ghostbusters III from the template.  That entry has been deleted multiple times (see the deletion discussion here) and despite the constant clouds of rumor any possible sequel won't merit an article unless the movie is actually announced by an official source.  Until then, it shouldn't be in this list. Rob T Firefly 16:01, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, if there were articles for those characters, then it would be appropriate to add them to the navbox.  And it's debatable whether the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (or Janine for that matter) is a "main" character.  None of them are "main cast", that's for sure, which is what you'd originally changed the heading to!!!  --Rob Sinden (talk) 14:25, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Template (auto racing)

message: I disagree with the renaming of this article from Template (racing) to Template (auto racing). A template can be applied in a racing series where the vehicles are not automobiles.

replies: text: I have been trying to think of a specific example of a non-automobile series that uses templates, but I can't think of any. There are many non-automobile series that have rules defining dimensions, but I can't think of any that are picky enough to require template. There certainly is potential for several of them to adopt templates at any time, especially some of the world's top motorcycle series. I can't think of anything that I can add to the article that is not my opinion or original research. I disagreed based on the potential usage. Cheers!

message: His two masters degrees are detailed in the article. There is no mention of his undergraduate studies.

Also, it is puzzling that he is so involved in the law (through intellectual property) and economics (NBER, senior economist at Russell) without a law or economics background.

Anyhow, the discussion is really interesting and I recommend anyone who wants to edit his article to read it. It doesn't cover all of Shugart's story so I haven't removed the unreferenced template.

Can't remember what George was running at the time; The Chinook had folded, I think.
