Talk:7th Street (Johannesburg)

message: 7th Street often gets called 7th Avenue because of a very popular Afrikaans language television soapie called "7de Laan" (literally "7th Avenue") which features many of 7th Street's shops in its title sequence. Melville has streets and avenues running perpendicular to each other and although 7th Avenue does exist, it does not intersect 7th Street along the cafe strip.

I changed the move notice from  to , because there has to be more than one "7th Street" in the world.Rmky87 19:39, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Movement to impeach George W. Bush

message: (copied from comment on article's talk page)
This article was put up for deletion with no prior discussion about it and no effort to build a consensus that it should be deleted (or not). This is wrong and I strongly object to this action. Any votes for deletion should be carefully considered and discussed prior to taking such an action. In fact, this section and this comment are the first on the discussion page about deletion. The editor who placed the article up for deletion took the action unilaterally with flagrant disregard to Wikipedia policy and standards. Calicocat 06:33, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

message: The current state of the article has greatly improved. Perhaps this VdF acted as a kind of article improvment drive. So be it. I don't like how this was done, but the result seems to be a very temperate and informative article about impeachment of the president. I'm sure futher development and editing will render this a good entry in the overall body of articles. I've not edited much on this article so I have a kind of outside view on it, I like how it's going, I think it's on the right track in terms of tone and information sources.

Talk:Oksana Baiul

message: I am surprised that there is nothing about Oksana's alcohol problems.  She was arrested for a DUI that was eventually dismissed after she completed alcohol educatiion program as part of her probation.  And then later she went to alcohol rehab as well.  She was under 21 both times.  She appeared to have a lot of problems around this time. Mylittlezach (talk) 00:18, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Oksana's alcohol problems 

message: I've just read the begining of the article and I hope there are people, who will find time to improve it.
1. The chapter (section) entitled "Early life" seems to take Baiul up to the age of 35 – is that still "early"?
2. The subtitle (subsection) "Religious views" seems to be about ancestry, not religion. There also seems to be a lack of distinction between Jewish nationality and Judaism. The statement that Baiul was "brought up as Russian Orthodox" is not supported by any sources other than that of an article in an American Jewish magazine published 15 years or so after the Soviet Union was dissolved. It seems sensible to find other sources in support of this, as it was not obvious to be brought up in any religious beliefs in the Soviet Union, in which Baiul lived for the first 14 years of her life.
PS. Perhaps a comment on the discussion above: keep in mind, Wikipedia is for readers – not editors.

thread_title: Comment 2

message: Hi! I have some suggestions for improving the organization of this category. I thought to put them here to make clear what I'm doing, and to see what others think. They all seem pretty minor to me, but I wanted to make sure. :) The "Ancient scientists" and "Medieval scientists‎" categories are redundant because they are both in the "Scientists by period‎" category. The "List of female scientists before the 21st century" page would fit into that category pretty well too. It is already in the "Women scientists" category. Afterwards that page should be removed from this category. Perhaps a "Scientists by religion" category could be created? The "Roman Catholic cleric–scientists‎" page and the "Quakers in science" page would both fit well there. The "Heimatforscher" page would fit well into the "Scientists by field" category. The "Geoprofessions" page doesn't really seem to fit in this category. I think it would be a good idea to move it to the "Scientific disciplines‎" category. Gentlemen scientists pay for their own work, and government scientists are paid for, obviously, by the government. Maybe a "Scientist by funding" or similar could be created? The "International Network in Biolinguistics" is a group, so I think it would fit better into the "Facilities and organizations of science‎" category.  
I'd appreciate any feedback! Also, if someone else could help actually reorganizing, I'd be immensely grateful. Thank you very much for reading this! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique (talk) 13:20, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Location of Flagship Store 

message: I would like to do some work on improving this article, and in particular raising it above "stub" status. But before doing so, I would appreciate the views of other interested editors.
It seems to me that the article covers two distinct subjects:
* James Thin, the business; and
* James Thin, the man who founded the business.
Although most of the material is about the business, this is interspersed with some biographical details about the man. The lead is particularly confusing, as it refers to James Thin as a bookseller and stationer - clearly relating to the man - but also as a publishing company.
So, should we split this into two separate articles? A lot of information has been published about James Thin the man, so there should be no difficulty in finding references. I haven't yet looked for published information about the company (the existing references are not particularly useful), but would expect to find something.
Any views?
