Wikipedia talk:WikiProject G.I. Joe

message: It's a bit weird that the category :Category:G.I. Joe characters actually only includes Cobra characters, while all the characters who are actually in G.I. Joe are in :Category:G.I. Joe soldiers. There should be a separate category :Category:Cobra characters for the bad guys, but what should the good guys category and the parent category for all characters be named then?

thread_title:  Donald Levine Biography  

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Talk:Shirley Barber

message: Shirley's maiden name is believed to be MACHON, a well known Guernsey surname.  This would indicate that she not only grew up in Guernsey, but was also born there.  
Her first husband was Peter Donald Turner, with whom she immigrated to Australia.
Both her mother and grandmother were artists in Guernsey. 
NOTE: Guernsey is a Crown Dependency of Britain, it is NOT part of England. It is a self governing country. Shirley's Nationality when born in Guernsey was British.

Talk:Gigi MacKenzie

message: The article as I found it reads a little bit like an advertisement. The line "In Gigi’s first solo album, “Skylark”, she mixes Hip Hop, Modern Jazz and R&B." is a little bit of a red flag, but the next line, "Her range and voice is impressive." really sounds like an advertisement. I don't want to just delete that line because maybe her voice is impressive for some technical reason, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to say. Also, the line "It’s the perfect mix of old and new, sending the heart and imagination to great highs with songs like “Shadow Of Your Smile”, “Come Rain Or Come Shine” and “Cry Me A River”." It's a fact that the album contains these titles, but "sending heart & imagination to great highs" sounds like an advertisement. Maybe a reviewer said these words, in which case quotations marks and citations are necessary.
But generally, anyone who has listened to her music might be qualified to tone down the advertiness with facts derived from listening to the music and reading reviews. Plinth molecular gathered 20:38, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: WP:SEAOFBLUE states "[w]hen possible", and makes three suggestions for avoiding "placing links next to each other so that they look like a single link", as is done with 'Parsons steam turbine'. So, narrowly, and IMO, it is in compliance with the MoS. However, if a formulation which was not unduly clumsy and which avoided the conjunction were offered then the emphasis, IMO, would be on the editor preferring 'Parsons steam turbine' to explain why it should be retained.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Priscilla Cory

message: Priscilla Cory has been in the entertainment business since she was 3 years old. She did not have alot of starring roles, two to be exact. Deadman's Curve was most definitely a starring role, the main stars were mainly Richard Hatch and Bruce Davison. In the film when the credits are shown on television and in the tv guide Priscilla Cory is listed as a starring role. It was credited in 1978, not 1977.
For a SAG/AFTRA actress, when a movie lists her as uncredited this is because it is a non speaking role, not an extra. There is a significant difference. When she first started in films and television she did not have to join a guild, so those are not listed on IMDB. Also on IMDB when an actor is an extra it will state that. There are numerous stars listed on IMDB listed in movies as (uncredited), this is not a detriment to their other roles of starring or otherwise.
I am writing about Priscilla Cory because I have been following her career for years, I am 70 years old. I personally have information about her from reliable sources. Her great grandfather is Nathan B. Stubblefield and she is the only grand daughter in the entertainment business.
I have given the references which I have availablility to and I am trying to do my best. This is not a self promoting article because it is not Priscilla Cory, I am not a friend of hers, or a family member whatsoever. If you can, please help me to write this article about Priscilla Cory so that it doesn't appear that way to you. She has worked at her craft very hard for years, and has been taken advantage of by others, especially in not giving her the proper credits that she deserves. Like the lip synced recorded vocals done by beginners Joey Lauren Adams and Angelica Bridges who had no credits to their names at all when they did the Cory shows in China 1988. Priscilla Cory got no credit for these songs being her vocals, they did though for her work and talents. 
Priscilla Cory does have notability, so please consider these facts before proceeding to delete her article. Beatress 21:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The article goes from explaining the crisis and the viewpoints of the member states to outlining the resulting compromise, without ever explaining how it was negotiated or who proposed it. This is very odd.
The section on "The compromise" is also strange, not making clear what was actually part of the compromise and what resulted from the compromise. For example "CAP was partially reformed in 1966 as a result of the empty chair crisis and the Luxembourg Compromise": so... was that part of the compromise or was it something that happened following the compromise?
