Talk:Bowen

message: Whoever keeps deleting Jonathan L. Bowen, cut it out. Bowen is a public figure who has written several books, directed music videos, etc. I'm tired of re-adding it. If you delete it again I will just add it again repeatedly until the end of time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.255.41 (talk • contribs) 19:04, January 26, 2008
:"Public figure" or not, he appears to only be the author of a couple of self-published fan books about Star Wars. I can find no reliable sources that he's directed anything of note. You can add it all you want, but your statement of intent is a violation of policy, and unless you can provide some reputable sources to ack up your claims, I can't see any reason he should ever be added back onto this page.

Talk:Shakeel Ahmad Bhat

message: This article claims that Bhat is a 'professional protester'. It's not clear what that means - does it mean he was getting paid to take part in protests? Is there any evidence for this allegation? If not, it should be removed per WP:BLP. Robofish (talk) 21:06, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a sloppy wording that actually turns what Bhat does upside-down.  No matter what nation was being reported on, newspapers showing demonstrations that supposedly  represented the "Muslim street" always managed to pick this guy.

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: COMM 500 Theory and Literature of Communication

message: 1. The section about higher STD rates for sex workers is not contextualized within the article which seems to be mainly about the consumption of pornography and not the impact on producers (sex workers). Challenges faced by sex workers should be more clearly be delineated in the intro if the article is going to discuss it, sex workers are also impacted by societal views on sex workers and pornography and not only the pornography itself. 
2. The intro has this sentence: "Consumption of pornographic material is associated with negative and positive impacts"
Where does the article mention the positive effects? If we don't delve into positive effects in the article then we should just remove that sentence.
3. The intro briefly states "some people may become addicted to it" but no context is provided. Some studies suggest that a small percentage of individuals may experience problematic or compulsive patterns of porn consumption that could be classified as an addiction. However, it's important to note that not everyone who consumes porn will develop an addiction, and people can engage in such behavior without negative consequences.

thread_title: Untitled

message: hi guys,
so i saw the wiki for pre-measure and it says the reason it's not a measure is because it's not defined on a sigma-algebra.
: that part is cool.
however, it seems to me that the content is more of a "precursor" to a measure than a pre-measure.
: it seems content needn't be defined over a sigma algebra (hence a measure being a sigma-additive content), so wouldn't the content be more of a pre-measure since it's not in terms of ring theory, but sets?
in the case where the content is not defined over a sigma algebra, surely there is some sort of way we could tie it in with pre-measure?
: i understand the latter is speaking in terms of rings, but so is Carathéodory's extension theorem, which is a measure-theoretic concept that could bridge these ideas together?
both content and pre-measure are sigma additive, too. surely i'm not off my rocker (I HOPE?! ;)) ? ty in advance for the chat guys. 174.3.155.181 (talk) 20:34, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: * You are not off your rocker. content and pre-measure are similar concepts, the big difference being that a content is finitely additive and a pre-measure countably additive. --Mark viking (talk) 11:28, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Elephant clock

message: I took out the following sections, since they clearly aren't innovations. The "flow regulator" is a device more commonly known as a "hole". All water clocks inevitably have some kind of flow regulator. I strongly suspect that this article has confused the Elephant clock "regulator" with the more sophisticated system of the "first clock". Nor does "closed loop" appear at all appropriate; the bit talked about there is the driving mechanism, so obviously *not* closed. Someone has been copying without understanding William M. Connolley (talk) 23:26, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

message: You are ruining this article with unsourced/ poorly-sourced material. What gives? That material is probably undue coverage, too. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:02, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for expressing your opinion in such a thoughtful and considerate way. Obviously, I disagree, although I appreciate you spurring me to find stronger sources (which I did). As a Wikipedia editor, I specialize in comics and comic strips, and I feel that expanding the information about The New York Herald-Tribune Syndicate and its strips is doing a service to that community. I hardly feel that adding some author names and publication dates to the Syndicate section is giving undue coverage to what already is an extremely long and detailed article. If anything, the Syndicate deserves to have its own article (as is the case with many other current and former syndicates that originated as in-house operations of various newspapers). -- stoshmaster (talk) 01:12, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Barbara Mandrell singles discography

message: The initial article "Barbara Mandrell discography" listing Barbara Mandrell recordings was created on 12 December 2007 by User:Dottiewest1fan, with charting of all singles or albums of Barbara Mandrell from 1969 to 2006. -Wikid77 (talk) 01:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Created

message: The article "Barbara Mandrell discography" represents a sophisticated approach to describing musical works, in a centralized area, without flooding Wikipedia with hundreds of smaller articles.  (The infamous Pokemon-per-article approach in 2007 had generated over 453 articles, one for each Pokemon character, before getting combined into groups.)  Instead, by having a main discography article, famous song/album titles can be handled by redirecting them to the discography, and then adding a bottom paragraph when special details should be added.  Articles containing lists were formerly discouraged until the volume of real-world information was considered, and a Table-of-Contents was understood to be a list in each article. Regardless, the uber-famous ("notable") songs can still have separate articles, but the discography is a courteous method to document most recordings in a modest manner, without spamming Wikipedia with hundreds of Mandrell articles, even though the international fame of Barbara Mandrell might actually warrant such numerous articles.  Overall, it is an elegant, yet modest and sensible, approach to creating an encyclopedic view of Barbara Mandrell's recordings. -Wikid77 (talk) 01:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Port of Omaha

message: Just a heads up as I'm gonna be editing this entry in the future. The "port of omaha" no longer exists. The "location" as listed in the current article is not an actual port but the "port of entry" as considered by the US customs office (in a dead link). As far as I can tell the last existing Port in Omaha was a landing for barge transport as of 2003, which would make sense as 2003 was when Gallup built their campus on the same location. Anyway, the "port" referred to in the current article is gone and I intend to rewrite this article to reflect that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8804:1E80:4E2:B46A:E791:13B9:F36B (talk) 15:57, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: He's wearing a ring on that finger as far back as season one, and Shardene is *not* wearing one in the finale montage. Still, I can't see an old-school guy like Cool Lester Smooth shacking up for years on end. I think the stronger argument towards marriage is due to the warm reception Bunk and Jimmy give Shardene at Jimmy's "wake." She's definitely been around them and knows them well at this point. If she wasn't Lester's wife at that point, it certainly happened shortly after his retirement. LoomisSimmons (talk) 08:33, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
