Talk:1818 in poetry

message: I'm removing the reference to a poem by Byron entitled "The Intellectual Eunuch Castlereagh", as there was certainly no such publication in 1818. The phrase is of course from the dedication to Don Juan, which was written in 1818, but which Byron specifically decided not to publish with Cantos I and II in 1819.

Talk:The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power/GA1

message: *Well-written? Yes; strong conformity to MoS.
*Factually accurate and verifiable? Extensive use of inline citations.
*Broad? Provides excellent coverage of the article from many angles (context, analysis, fallout, etc.).
*Netural? Surprisingly even-handed for an article documenting a controversy.
*Stable? Appears to be.
*Illustrated? A bit light on illustrations, but it's a difficult topic to illustrate. Kudos to whatever creative mind thought to scan the official judicial entries/documents and use them.
This is a great article, in my opinion, and I would recommend upping the ante to Featured Article review candidacy. I'm sure they'll find plenty of holes for you to revise, but this article isn't far off. Dylan 23:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Jewish lobby

message: *Quote: The full quote currently is the first paragraph under the section "Definition." It reads: The B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation Commission of Australia defines the "Jewish lobby" as "an unwieldy group of individuals and organisations devoted to supporting the needs and interests of the Jewish community." The article notes that: "The assumption, however, that Jews have a disproportionate power and influence over decision making is what transforms a descriptive reality about politics to an antisemitic argument about Jewish power."[2]
*History: Originally the section was called "Description" and contained only the first sentence. Jayjg deleted the section header as irrelevant and I reverted that and added the second sentence because it used the phrase "descriptive", with no thought to the concept of "definition." Later Jayjg changed the section name to "Definition" which was fine with me.  
*Currently: But now that second sentence is clearly out of context because it attempts to make a distinction about what is or is not antisemitic. Such discussions belong in the "Antisemitism" section and I have no problem with moving that second sentence to that section, if someone wants to do so. Otherwise it should just be dropped from the article. Carol Moore 23:09, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Having heard no comment in seven days, shall we assume there is no problem with my removing the sentence? (Someone else can re-insert it elsewhere if they choose, though I think there already are a plethora of opinions without examples on this topic.) Carol Moore 00:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should probably assume that the majority of participants are no longer interested in continuing the mediation.

text: How can it clutter up the article when there is no article? It's a stub. You are appealing to conventions that apply to normal, full articles. I agree that in normal, full articles, further reading sections should be concise. But, once again, for the fourth time, this is a stub. The sources give future editors material with which to build a normal, full article and the sources give readers a starting point for their own research. It is worth repeating, for the fifth time, that this is a stub. I still am wondering what you hope to accomplish with a vaguer than vague cleanup tag when 'cleanup' is implicit in 'stub'.

message: Hi. I can see that almost every spin-off films are included in the lists of film series here in the List of feature film series with (number) entries articles. I don't think it's actually correct, as most spin-off films are not a part of the film series, but a separate film in the same franchise as the film series. I guess that if it's a spin-off/sequel hybrid film like Men in Black: International (part of the Men in Black franchise) and Finding Dory (part of the Finding Nemo franchise), it should be included in the lists of film series since it's 50 % spin-off/50 % part of the film series. But if it's a 100 % separate spin-off film that's not a part of the film series like Hobbs & Shaw (part of the Fast & Furious franchise), Lightyear (part of the Toy Story franchise), Planes 1 and 2 (part of the Cars franchise), Lavalantula 1 and 2 (part of the Sharknado franchise), and Minions 1 and 2 (part of the Despicable Me franchise), it should not be included in the lists of film series. So I think we should either remove every 100 % spin-off films from these lists here in these articles or rename the articles where the word series is replaced with the word franchise.

Talk:Bahr el Zeraf

message: In researching this river I came across a confusing number of different spellings and was somewhat at a loss about what to name the article. Eventually I decided on Bahr el Zeraf because the Bahr el Zeraf (river) page at the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names website says this is the "preferred" spelling. But it seems that "Zaraf" may be more common than "Zeraf", and the "el" is frequently rendered "az" or "ez", and sometimes with a hyphen and sometimes without. To further muddy the waters I found that the NGA Geonames website gives "Baḩr az Zarāf" as the "standard", with "Bahr ez Zeraf" as a variant. So I gave up trying to figure out the "best" spelling and simply made redirect pages for the variations. But I'm still not sure "Bahr el Zeraf" is the best name for the page. In any case, it is all transcriptions from Arabic, so maybe it doesn't matter. If anyone can add the actual Arabic name in Arabic characters, please do! Pfly (talk) 06:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Long Beach, New Zealand

message: The name 'Warauwerawera' was added to this page in 2012 with a reference to a PDF from www.puketeraki.co.nz (see revision). However, the archived version of this PDF uses 'Wharauwerawera' rather than 'Warauwerawera', so either it was a typo on the Wikipedia page back in 2012 or the PDF was subsequently updated. 
It is concerning that recent uses of 'Warauwerawera' in other publications may have been informed by a typo here. 
Some other sources using 'Wharauwerawera' include:
* https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/OW19160607.2.98.5.1 (1916)
* http://www.nzlii.org/nz/other/nz_gazette/1918/3/84.pdf
* https://www.environmentcourt.govt.nz/assets/PC8-Urban-Common-Bundle-Volume-2.pdf
Alternatively, https://kahurumanu.co.nz/atlas offers the name 'Wharewerawera' citing three references. Note the closeness in meaning of 'wharau' and 'whare'. The atlas doesn't mention whether 'Wharauwerawera' was also considered.
Whether 'Wharauwerawera' or 'Wharewerawera' is preferred warrants further discussion.
Meanwhile, the page could be updated to offer both 'Wharauwerawera' and 'Wharewerawera' as potential names in place of 'Warauwerawera'. Franzo (talk) 21:33, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cover Image 

message: I don't feel bad about using the web site of a promoter even though it can sound like advertising. Wikipedia is foremost an encyclopedia and as such is one to rely on proof and verification.  I feel it is important to provide original or Primary sources for justification behind articles. I know it's a challenge between sounding like a plug for a company versus quoting original sources. But, how I see it is, since WP is about going to the Source, what better place for pointing people than to the ones who ran the concert and produced the CD.  I think it is of the highest good to refer readers to the originators, the ones who would know best.  Sure, they may have one take on it. But, I think it's courtesy to allow them to speak about themselves, at least. It is also permissible to have outsiders report on what they see. When you're writing a report in school the teacher always says to go with primary sources, the ones who were there, the ones who were eye witnesses, not just hearsay or opinion or someone who SPOKE with someone who was there.
