Talk:WestPoint Home

message: Gregfuller recently added a large chunk of text to the article, but most of it seems to be copied from other sources.  The first "History" paragraph looks like it was copied verbatim from this April 2005 article, except that "WestPoint Stevens" has been changed to "WestPoint Homes" [sic]; the following ten paragraphs seem to be copied verbatim from this page on fundinguniverse.com, except that "WestPoint Stevens" has been changed to "WestPoint Home", the typo "throughMerger" has been corrected, and the typo "canvas -type" has been added.  Here's a link from archive.org showing that fundinguniverse.com had the text long before it was added to Wikipedia.
I've reverted those additions.  The remaining three paragraphs seem to be original, but I've reverted them as well to be safe; please feel free to add that text back if you think the article is better that way.  --mconst (talk) 01:17, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Grendel (film)

message: "Most of the cast have British accents, whereas the real Danes and Geats of history would have had Scandinavian accents if they spoke the English language."
Wow, that's remarkably redundant. The Danes and Geats wouldn't have been speaking English for a start. In fact, when Beowulf was written, it would have been Anglo-Saxon to the writers, so perhaps they should all be speaking Old English in Scandinavian accents if you want to be correct about the thing.
Something wrong with using British(and I think you mean ENGLISH) accents? Given that the story is an ancient English one, I think this is fair.White43 10:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accents 

message: CITATIONS INDEED!
"In the epic poem, Beowulf fights hand-to-hand, at one point striking so hard that it breaks the sword he's using[citation needed]. In the film, Beowulf uses a quadruple crossbow that fires explosive bolts."
"In the poem, Grendel and his mother live in a swamp."
"In the poem, Beowulf is mentioned as being taller (and presumably proportionately more muscular) than all of the men around him. In the film, he is a man of average size."
Pray tell, where is this mentioned in the poem? All is stated is that :
Beowulf wrenches Grendal's arm clean off, with his GRIP.
Grendal and his mother live in a cave, under the swamp. 
Beowulf is described as 'greater and stronger than anyone anywhere in this world' - not necessarily taller.
All of this can be found in the translations of the poem. Found here: http://www.lone-star.net/literature/beowulf/ White43 10:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with Drmies.  I think it is perfectly acceptable to be using "chapter and verse" type citations as needed when quoting or describing a line, section, or event within a poem, somewhat in the same tradition as when quoting or referring to Biblical, Torah, or Qur'an verses.  The verifiability policy trumps virtually everything, and the readers have a "right" to know from where a claimed "fact" (swamp vs cave, taller vs average, sword vs crossbow) originated, whether from the film, or some translation or other.  Open comparisons between versions of translations and interpretations, or artistic presentations, are part of what makes the expanding knowledge base in the Wikipedia so great.  Of course we do not need to put a "citation needed" on every word of the article, just on those points that need some way to be verified, independently of held notions and assumptions.  --T-dot ( Talk/contribs ) 16:01, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  I removed the product list 

message: It is a Market Wired press release which states Waves is the source. I've been doing a little searching and I can't find any others. There are many articles covering this but they are all verbatim republishes. (See Google query for "waves fifa world cup vuvuzela".) Should the tidbit be removed or is it OK?
The ref could also be swapped for any of the others but that might obfuscate the fact that the source is actually Waves. For example Pro Sound Web covered this but it says 'by PSW Staff' and there is not an indication the text is near-unchanged.
Bullets:
* This is WP:PRIMARY and possibly WP:SELFSOURCE.
* Merely republishing a press release is probably not far-removed enough to be WP:SECONDARY.
I don't feel experienced enough to know what to think here. If somebody else feels compelled one way feel free to take appropriate action. Just wanted to bring attention to it.

replies: text: True, but the name "Five Boroughs" is currently claimed as a re-direct for Borough (New York City), which happens to go by the same name. Because it is only a re-direct, the move may be justified (as long as there is a disambiguation note), but others might object that the use of "Five Boroughs" is better attested for NY, perhaps overwhelmingly so. I've got the impression that "Five Burghs" is a bit of an unsatisfactory compromise to that. The use of burgh may be slightly archaic, except when referring to the Scottish type of town.

replies: text: Geek & Sundry did an article about the 2018 updated version of Adeptus Titanicus and it briefly talks about the history: "The solution was to make the scale smaller, and this is where the story of Games Workshop’s greatest defunct game series takes shape. The original Adeptus Titanicus was brilliant, a crunchy counter to the popular Battletech. But that was only the start: it proved popular enough that the smaller 6mm scale (Epic, as it was called) was expanded upon in further games. There was Space Marine, which added tanks and, yes, Space Marines, followed by Orks, Eldar, and all the rest. Entire ranges of new titans and tanks were released, many of which only made it into 40k much later. It was my favorite non-skirmish game they ever did. Then it disappeared, with the last official release in 1997. The Epic scale games were gone, outside the obligatory internet community keeping it alive in fan updates. Until now. Adeptus Titanicus is back. It is, as it was 30 years ago, about giant robots and only giant robots".  Sariel Xilo (talk) 19:07, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
