Talk:Walter Savage Landor

message: This article is written with a bias. 
It's frustrating to read an encyclopedia with a bias.
Landor, from what little I've read, is a great writer. He does not need the help of an encyclopedia entry
to further seal his merit. 
No offense, however, to whoever wrote it. 
God bless you; the man's books are out of print, while James Patterson lines the shelves of grocery-stores worldwide.
Someone needs to get the news out.
The biased praise in this article renders it utterly useless as both a resource and a source of inspiration to guide others to his writing.  It has no place in an encyclopedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicrawford (talk • contribs) 05:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article Reads Like a High School Essay 

message: I have stumbled across an image of him at the Commons from his latter years, if anyone wishes to use it in the article. Supposedly it was painted when he was 80 (so about 1855) but it was commissioned in Italy by Kate Field (who is said by this article to come into his life after 1858). The narrative context comes from a book published in 1905, so it is possible that Field wasn't remembering quite correctly by the time she related the story, or it could be that Landor wasn't being honest with her about his age at the time.

Talk:Rose (heraldry)

message: I removed the following section, because it has no source and is counter to heraldry as I understand it.  I am fairly certain that specific heraldic colors almost never have specific meanings, and that most attempts to do so are fairly artificial.  After looking about in Google, I can in fact find several sites that assign completely different meanings to these colors.

message: "lack of third party sources avaiable for this film": IMDB, Google Video
"one of the keep advocates may be a single purpose account and another is very well known for being an ultra-extreme inclusionist": Even so, does that make the discussion a consensus to delete? And anyway, have the many well-known ultra-exclusionist (only for articles of a specific topic) been similarly discounted?
My question remains unanswered: what changed since the first two nominations that has made the deletion more compelling? PizzaMargherita 12:29, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Without checking at this time, if some of the "keep" comments were waiting for WP:RS to be added, and haven't yet been, it does become more reasonable to delete.  And a "no concensus" result is more analogous to "voting cancelled" in conventional votes than a vote result to keep, so it's more reasonable to do revotes until a definitative result is obtained.  So your questions is both possible to answer and irrelevant.  — Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 12:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Zer0faults/Proposed decision

message: Per the point of me removing well sourced information:
WP:OR states:  
Editors often make the mistake of thinking that if A is published by a reliable source, and B is published by a reliable source, then A and B can be joined together in an article in order to advance position C. However, this would be an example of a new synthesis of published material serving to advance a position, and as such it would constitute original research. "A and B, therefore C" is acceptable only if a reliable source has published this argument in relation to the topic of the article.  
Nescio never provided proof that the Information Operations Roadmap and Zarqawi PSYOP Program were linked. He then links Smith-Mundt through the Informations Operations Roadmap making it a violation of WP:OR. As for the first piece I am removing it because if you review the article, its mentioned 3 times already. However the second is clearly a vioaltion as Smith-Mundt is only linked to Information Operations Roadmap and Zarqawi program is not linked to either in any source. --User:Zer0faults 12:18, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

message: These are two seperate entities. The Google Foundation is a not-for-profit organization with an endowment of $90 million. Google.org, however, is a "for profit charity", probably one of the first of its kind, with $1 billion seed money from Google.

Talk:Diospyros

message: I know nothing about much, but it struck me reading about persimmon that what the Greeks called persimmon - "the fruit of the gods" - and the word diospyros might be connected? dios- meaning gods, of course. Any connection? Headbeater (talk) 12:17, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Meaning?

message: The sources for the etymology of διόσπυρος in this article are quite old, one of them from 1864. 
The wiki article on Persimmon purports a different etymology with a citation to actual Greek language scholarship which also might be worth noting :
The word Diospyros comes from the ancient Greek words "dios" (δῐος) and "pyron" (πῡρον). A popular etymology construed this as "divine fruit", or as meaning "wheat of Zeus"[2] or "God's pear" and "Jove's fire". The dio-, as shown by the short vowel 'i', has nothing to do with 'divine' (δῑoς ), dio- being an affix attached to plant names, and in classical Greek the compound referred to "the fruit of the nettle tree".[3]

message: Seeing as the article is about Canterbury School as a whole and not merely Canterbury High School, it would seem appropriate to change the title accordingly.

Especially in this case, the section seems rather.. well, trivial.  With only one item that could easily be worked into the athletics section, the miscellanea section should be removed.

Talk:Elwing

message: This article states that Elwing was born in Ossiriand, and that she escaped to the Havens of Sirion "when it was ruled by Earendil."  These both conflict with the information in the Timeline of Arda article.  According to the timeline, Elwing was born after Dior re-established Doriath (which would mean she was born there, not in Ossiriand).  The timeline also shows that Elwing's escape to the Havens of Sirion happened before the destruction of Gondolin, meaning Earendil was not even there yet (much less "ruled," as he was only seven years old even when he did escape Gondolin).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cnanninga (talk • contribs) 19:57, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
