Talk:Colour centre

message: This article started out as "colour centre". British spelling was used in both the title and the first article text. In 2012, user Desoham3 moved the page to "color center", which was a violation of Wikipedia's Manual of Style policy regarding different varieties of English. Since the topic has no strong ties to any English-speaking nation, the article should have stayed where it was started. Acopyeditor (talk) 10:58, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Moving article back to original title 

message: I recommend deleting this entry and incorporating appropriate bits into the Visual Cortex article. First, one must be very circumspect in attributing a brain function to a single "center" or "centre." The article disagrees with itself by admitting that "colour stimuli [...] activate multiple areas in the brain." Second, the article makes much ado about an "area V8" whose existence was claimed by one group 21 years ago but since then, "V8" has gained hardly any traction and for now there appears to be insufficient justification for this new subdivision of visual cortex. Also, the image titled Colour centre has a citation in Japanese, which makes it hard to verify its origin. I recommend deleting the image from Wikipedia, as it includes this dubious "V8" area while not including some established functional areas. Thinksthanks (talk) 23:23, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:1959 in baseball

message: Quote: "June 30 – The St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs are involved in a bizarre play at Wrigley Field in which two balls are in play at the same time."
One version of the story has Dark and Taylor throwing to second base at the same time.  I especially liked this recounting because in it, Hall-of-Famer Ernie Banks sees two baseballs coming at him at once, and he does just what you or I would do: he ducks.

message: The article could really do with a major overhaul by someone who knows about the subject.

Long lists of engagements would be better replaced with more substantial information about some of these engagements.

Talk:Smaller midrashim

message: Dfass, I will leave the article alone for at least a week. But in the meantime leave the sections. Look at the general material that I started to add at the top about dates and editors. I want to have a general article on the topic of "smaller midrashim" with a link or or merge with "later midrashim." Current literature, does not use the term smaller midrashim in the same sense of just what was edited by Jellinek. There are other works involved and with connections to "larger late midrashim" like Yalkut Shimoni and other late works. Also, some show how they are still connected to Second temple times, others consider it a form of medieval legends, others as medieval mussar literary works.  The given 12 works would therefore have differnt links to differnt "see also"

message: It's pretty obvious, that there were no real 2 division, but a first phase of the season with one group and a split after that into two groups. Gamewise you can calculate that they played a triple-round-robin in every phase: 3*17 games in phase one and 3*8 games in phase two = 75 games.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 11:53, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Talk:Espers (band)

message: I thought I should comment on the edits of this article claiming that The Weed Tree was an EP.  Despite the numerous reviews (actually nearly every one I read) which claimed that the release was an EP, Greg Weeks states in this interview (linked to in the article) that "It's actually not an EP but a full length record".   I don't know why it was considered an EP, possibly it was a label/band press release (though I can't find one) or possibly it was just critics unable to handle the fact that an album might only have 7 tracks.  Since the best source I can find is Weeks himself, I reckoned he is probably also the most reliable.  (I'm not sure what the actual official classification for the difference between albums and EPs is but just off the top of my head Is This It and Ramones are shorter and Ys is longer and has less tracks but all are considered albums.) --Thetriangleguy 15:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:1984 in baseball

message: I have deleted the following passage from the article:
*May 24 - The Detroit Tigers reach 35-5, a record pace, including Jack Morris throwing a no-hitter early in the season against the Chicago White Sox, en route to cruising to a franchise-record 104 victories. That team featured the great double play combination of shortstop Alan Trammell and second baseman Lou Whitaker; the duo would play together a record 19 seasons. The team also featured relief ace Willie Hernandez, who won the 1984 American League Cy Young Award and Most Valuable Player Award just one year after pitching on the Philadelphia Phillies' National League championship team.
I'm hardly anti-Tigers, but this reads as a season ending recap.  If the 35-5 is a Major League or A.L. record through 40 games (and I have little doubt it is), then that fact should be put in.  The rest should be taken out, and put into an article about the 1984 Tigers.

Talk:1986 in baseball

message: *August 21 - The visiting Boston Red Sox batted a season-high 24 hits to rout the Cleveland Indians, 24–5, pounding starter Greg Swindell in his major league debut and four relievers. Tony Armas hit a grand slam and a two-run home run to collect six RBI; Spike Owen a solo homer, three singles, six runs; Bill Buckner five hits, two runs, 3 RBI, and Marty Barrett and Dwight Evans three hits and four RBI a piece. Pitcher Oil Can Boyd (12-9) got the win with a two-run, seven-inning performance.
I removed the above entry because I think it lacks the notability for this page.  From my perspective, pages like this are reserved for:
1.  League records being set (individual or team, game, season, or career)
2.  Unusual events (like Disco Demolition or Dime Beer Night)
3.  Milestones that are particular to notable careers (Mark McGuire's 100th home run might be notable;  Dick Allen's 100th home run would not)
4.  Pennant clinching games, especially in regards to ending long streaks
5.  Awards that involve streaks of winning, and/or unique circumstances
6.  Debuts/final games

Talk:1989 in baseball

message: Please stop including events such as "X hit home run #100" (or 200 or 300), etc.  These events are really only noteworthy if they are applied to a player who establishes a rather high mark in that category.  For example, noting the dates of Barry Bonds' 100th, 200th, 300th, 400th, etc home runs MIGHT be noteworthy because he hit a lot of home runs.  Doing so for Robin Yount or Luis Aparicio is not a noteworthy event because no one remembers them for that.
I would like to hear if there is any agreement/disagreement on this, but some of these pages are getting over run with minutia.  Some of these might be better recorded on individual team pages as important events.  TeganX7 03:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Reference deletion

message: I'm a bit confused by this. Do we know how many British Army personnel were present. Just two? If the BA had prior knowledge of the attack, why were the ASU able to set up the mine, make the call, observe the RUC approaching, and actually try to detonate the mine? It seems strange that they (the BA) would let the attack go ahead, killing the RUC officers, before doing anything. Was this an actual ambush, or were the SAS officers just observing the ASU? This would seem likely if there were just two of them present. Maybe I'm missing something, my alcohol soaked brain in not quite operational this morning.  Stu ’Bout ye! 11:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: They had some prior knowledge, I had a look at Murray earlier and the timeline is quite confusing though. It doesn't seem to be an ambush in the traditional "concealed soldiers open fire on IRA members at a pre-determined location" sense, I'll say that much. 2 lines of K303 12:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually having looked at this more, the whole section needs a complete rewrite using Murray, who uses the actual two conflicting sources - the IRA and the SAS. CAIN merely have a super brief summary lacking any actual detail. Take "A British Army soldier, Lance Corporal Al Slater, from Leicestershire, was also killed in the exchange of fire, further contradicting the republican sources" for example. What the IRA say is that two volunteers opened fire on the SAS after Mac Giolla Bhrighde was shot, so there's nothing contradictory at all. From memory, it is how Mac Giolla Bhrighde got shot in the first place that is disputed, not that there was a gun battle at all. I'll take a stab at sorting it out tomorrow. 2 lines of K303 11:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Table

message: A number of citations in this article unnecessarily include the publisher for periodicals and websites that have their own Wikipedia article. This information has no value to anyone wanting to check or track down references. For example, publisher=Washington Post Company for references to The Washington Post, or publisher=MLB Advanced Media for references to MLB.com, only make the article longer - significantly longer when repeated many times - without adding anything useful. Therefore I plan to  upgrade the article's citations to remove all such redundant publisher info, bringing them into line with the recommended use of the cite template (see Template:Citation#Publisher).  I'll also remove redundant 'location' parameters (e.g. work=New York Times|location=New York), as suggested by the template's usage guidelines. Please raise any questions here or on my talk page.
