Talk:Peter Taylor (footballer, born 1953)

message: He is merely odds on favourite, though the club have stressed they have not confirmed who they have appointed. It would be an idea not to put him down as Wycombe manager before confirmation from the club themselves. Just because some tabloid says he's nailed on to be the next Wycombe boss doesn't make it a certain fact he's been appointed before it's officially announced by the club!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.37.85 (talk) 21:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Vanessa

message: :Disambiguation in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Foundation projects is the process of resolving ambiguity. The conflict occurs when a single term can be associated with more than one topic. In many cases, this word or phrase is the same natural title of more than one article. In other words, disambiguations are paths leading to different topic pages that share essentially the same term in their title.
I fail to see the ambiguity that is resolved by listing arbitrary people who are all known quite unambiguously by two names, one of which happens to be Vanessa. On the contrary, they merely add clutter – particularly when minor pop stars are placed ahead of Vanessa (name) and Vanessa (butterfly).
If you want a List of famous people called Vanessa, go ahead and create it, but don't clutter up this disambiguation page. Similarly, if you think Vanessa Feltz's TV show Vanessa] is sufficiently notable to warrant a separate article, by all means create Vanessa (TV show), and add that to this page.
I make no claims regarding the notability of the Vanessas that I have left in – but they do all appear to be known by the single name Vanessa – and to that extent they are ambiguous. Grant 15:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Raymond Geuss

message: The opening paragraph refers to "a recent collection of works instrumental to the emergence of political realism in Anglophone political philosophy over the last decade," and it cites one book from 2008, which is no longer recent. Under ==Work==, it says "To date," without stating the date. This is a problem throughout Wikipedia. We should not use temporal terms such as "recent," "latest," or "to date." "Latest" or "Most recent" is a particular problem because it often refers to an author's latest book even though he has published subsequent books. 
Also in need of clarification is the phrase I quoted above, "collection of works." That would be okay for the opening paragraph if it were explained later, but it is not. As I said, only one book is cited. Maurice Magnus (talk) 12:06, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

message: I'm a little concerned by the Gaelic article which appeared inter-wiki linked today.

message: Given that most musical groups are referred to casually as "the band," a reader of this article not knowing that an actual group used the name "The Band" might not understand what this is referring to.  Rather than wiki-linking every refernce to "The Band" to clear this up, it seems to me that capitalizing the "T" in "The" would help clarify the situation.  I don't believe I am the first person to have done this.  If you do insist on making the "T" lowercase, consider wiki-linking each reference to "The Band" as it otherwise easy to confuse The Band with any subsequent musical collective which had Richard Bell as a member.

Talk:Robert Barto

message: I completely rewrote this article.  the previous text was taken almost word-for-word from the Naxos' bio page on Barto (which is duplicated on his on website).  Though Barto's  website notes that the text and image are under the GDFL license, my understanding is that wikipedia isn't about simply copy/pasting text, it's about creating original articles--hence the rewite.
The original article completely lacked any in-text citation.  I've added several, especially links to his own page as well as his Naxos bio and discography.
I also corrected several errors.  The Swiss city of Basel is rarely spelled "Basle" anymore, this can be considered as an archaism.  I changed it to the presently accepted American, British and German usage.
I also removed the two website links listed as "references" since both can now be found in in-text citations.
This section
:::[Barto] ha[s] been hailed by critics and music lovers. He is considered the foremost interpreter of works by Weiss and Hagen.
has no references and appears to be an editors personal opinion.  (Don't get me wrong, it's one I agree with; I own all eight of the Naxos CDs and have pre-ordered the ninth as well an MP3 version of his Naxos Hagen disc from www.emusic.com; I'm a huge fan of his, putting him on the same level as Paul O'Dette and Christopher Wilson as interpreters of the lute repertoire.)
Without some references to back up this statement (critical reviews, etc), I don't feel this should be in a wikipedia article.  I have, therefore, removed it.
This section, as well, has a problem:
:::...a special tribute to Sylvius Leopold Weiss...
a special tribute is redundant.  Tributes are, by their very nature, "special."

message: I just restored (diff) some text which was previously deleted (diff). It seems worth a bit more explanation than is suitable as an edit summary:
The phrase noted as the reason for deletion (“ignorant and unfortunate“) is from the next passage, below this one. The two passages address the same matter, but have separate sources. So the first passage is appropriately compared to its own source, not just to a different passage from a different source.
Additionally, these particular passages are about Flexner’s views. Reporting how he communicated them is necessary, and does not imply that his views and/or his choice of words were factually accurate. (Not to mention, ignoring stereotypes doesn’t make them go away – it enables them to thrive unchecked.) 2600:1001:B10C:E5DF:E5B6:C9FC:C9B9:E9D4 (talk) 05:05, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
