Talk:Barb Audiences

message: I would like to see, in this article, some commentary on the validity of the box. My guess is that poorer families use the box, and therefore there is a sample bias. Additionaly, how good are these families at keeping exact track of who is watching when? What kind of information is collected about the families that use the box? Does "families" mean that elderly people and young live-alone people are not represented? --82.152.178.100 (talk) 15:30, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Frontenac Provincial Park

message: A note for campers: Be aware that, despite many areas requiring a canoe or long hikes for access, once you arrive you'll discover that the majority of camping areas have sites that are quite close together. It's as if they were designed more for ease of management than to provide back country wilderness camping experience. Note that a site's "good privacy" rating from http://www.frontenacpark.ca/ is no guarantee that you'll be satisfied. To many back country campers, hearing every word from a neighboring camp site does not constitute "good privacy". 
(Info originally on main page, than deleted as "personal opinion". While it is POV, it could still be useful for park visitors, so I placed it here.) -- P199 14:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The park now has three single sites, and is planning on adding more. The clusters are present for a variety of reasons; increased capacity, reduced ecological impact, ability to accommadate larger groups, and yes, ease of management. Having sites clusters allows for park staff to maintain sites at a much higher standard. This should certainly be considered personal opinion - though I agree it's useful for park visitors, so expectations can be properly managed. Lennyjamin (talk) 03:24, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Harpur

message: I just happened to find this article while trying to locate articles in need of :Category:Gold Commissioners and noted that Harpur was a Gold Commissioner - in Australia.  I didn't know that the position Gold Commissioner existed elsewhere when I created the category earlier tonight; it may be that :Category:Gold Commissioners in British Columbia or :Category:Gold Commissioners in Canada (because of the Yukon Territory likely having had this title as well...) vs :Category:Gold Commissioners in Australia and theoretical :Category:Gold Comissioners in South Africa, etc. as applicable.

thread_title: Position of [[Gold Commissioner]]

message: I have recently joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian literature, and I would like to make this page my first project.
Before I get my hands dirty, I just wanted to introduce myself here, and ensure no-one opposes my main changes. What I propose to do is:
* Raise the importance of the page fromw 'Low' to 'High'. Scholars of Australian Literature generally regard Harpur as 'Australia's most important nineteenth-century poet' (Macquarie PEN Anthology of Australian Literature, introduction to Harpur section)
* Expand the biography section with the help of Normington-Rawling's published biography (which I own) and the data available at the Charles Harpur Critical Archive
* Expand the literary qualities section with references to Paul Kane, Michael Ackland, Judith Wright, Paul Eggert and other major scholars of Harpur's work
At the moment, the page is broadly accurate, and contains a good list of works and resources. My focus will mainly be on expanding the content and providing citations.
I myself have published peer-reviewed articles on Harpur's work. I will indicate self-references on the talk page so that other editors can review them.
Does anyone have any comments on this? Michaelgfalk (talk) 02:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Harper Simon

message: I do not understand why the notability of the prolific muscial artist Harper Simon is in question. His page is now heavily cited and contains many external links. Please tell me what this editor, Ckessler, believes is problematic so I can make any reasonable adjustments.
CCKKAB writes
I know next to nothing about Harper's work or fame, or lack of it. However some of the terms definitely appear over the top, and are not justified by the content or by references e.g. "extensive body of work" and "unique sound caught the attention". I am deleting these.
I believe sufficient notabilty and citations have been established for Harper Simon's page. Could the note please be removed? Thank you.

message: In the article it says: "By the age of 12,[citation needed] Harper was making appearances as a guest guitarist on his father’s Graceland tour." Paul Simon started his Graceland tour in February 1987, when Harper was 14. So this can't be right! EIther the fact is completely wrong or the age must be different.

Talk:Ulmus glabra

message: The wych elm is mentioned in E. M. Forster's novel "Howards End."  Howards End is a place, more specifically a house, and its description in the book was based on Forster's childhood home, Rooksnest.  The wych elm figures prominantly in both the house's description in the novel, and to some extent the characterisation of the protagonists, some of whom care so little about the setting (although they lived there for years) that they are not aware of the presence of pigs' teeth which the locals have embedded in the tree's bark to cure toothache.  Apparently this was based on an acutal folktale, since in Forester's more detailed descripion of Rooksnest he says, "The most interesting thing in the garden was the wych-elm tree. It was of great height and had a very thick stem, but the curious part in it was this. About four feet from the ground were three or four fangs stuck deep into the rugged bark. As far as I can make out these were votive offerings of people who had their toothache cured by chewing pieces of the bark..."  The account is from the appendix of the Penguin edition of "Howards End." (http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Exhibit/6747/rooksnest.html)Ayalablu 14:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:USAF Bases in the UK

message: I am reverting the edits that removed RAF Menwith Hill from the USAF in the United Kingdom template... my justifications are as follows...
# RAF Menwith Hill is currently run by the 424 Air Base Squadron (ABS) which is part of the 501 Combat Support Wing (CSW). This organization is aligned under United States Air Forces in Europe.
# Similar to other RAF bases run by the USAF (to include Mildenhall and Lakenheath)... it is on long term lease from the MoD to conduct operations in the UK.
# The MoD operations going on at Menwith Hill may be in concert with the USAF, but Menwith Hill is most definitely part of the USAF in the United Kingdom.
# The fourth and most compelling case would be in the following link directly from the RAF website... Royal Air Force TODAY.  If you scroll down to current bases, the directly administered ones controlled by the USAF have a #3 superscript and Menwith Hill clearly has one.

I'm not so sure which is why I'm writing it on the talk page.  Also Membler's 2A03 page could be in an external links section as it it quite comprehensive (http://nesdev.parodius.com/2A03/) as well as the 2A03 archive (http://2a03.org/) believe it or not people are still writing very cool music for this chip ^_^ Simplicity lies within chaos 14:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

The article for the 2A03 should be nothing more than a basic overview on how the chip operates.

Both articles seem to describe the same person, born in Troy New York, moved to Kansas in 1878, highest ranking black politician of his time.

If CampusJ had been the subject of controversies or somesuch, those would certainly be noted, but it hasn't.
The only reason I'm the one who made this page is because someone else who'd tried to make one about CampusJ previously hadn't produced one that met the notability standard of several independent articles on the topic, because he didn't know where to find that coverage. That person contacted me, so I put one up myself that was largely similar to his original (but obviously I couldn't make it identical), except that it included several such articles, in order to fulfill the notability standard.
I put no personal or qualitative assessments into it; it's strictly a few facts that are indisputable, and some links to stories about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by  Steveniweiss (talk • contribs) 14:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Deletion review/Log/2007 March 5/Essjay

message: Deletion review precedent notes:
* I can recall only one case where we have speedily closed a deletion review and reopened an existing AFD.  That was a non-administrator's speedy close of an AFD, reopened within 12 hours.  Since El_C is an administrator, there is an obvious difference.
* I can not recall any other cases where we have reopened a previously closed AFD, normally we relist for a new AFD.
* If the closing admin were to either 1) open a new AFD themself or 2) explicitly agree to hold a new AFD, we would normally close the DRV at that point, with a pointer to the new AFD.  A statement about "not objecting" to a new AFD has to be read very carefully; sometimes they amount to saying "go ahead", sometimes they amount to saying "that is a legitimate possible outcome, should that be the result".  The two are handled differently.
Since we don't have a DRV precedent page, the above is based on the limits of my memory.  GRBerry 14:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
