Talk:Cape Dauphin

message: Somebody wrote here that someone "believes that ruins in the area are the remnants of a 15th-century Chinese". The article under this title has been miscited, as it declares just the contrary. I reworded all this stuff accordingly.
:Kind regards, Zack Holly Venturi 17:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The article as written provides the refutation of a claim but no details of what claim is being refuted. The reader's first thought is "so what ?", since it is impossible to evaluate the significance of a refutation without knowing the significance of the claim. If the claim isn't significant enough to be described why on earth is it thought to be significant enough to be refuted ? It's as if archaeologists were to refute the existence of Chinese ruins on the Moon. Not exactly surprising and hardly something that needs to be mentioned. -- Derek Ross | Talk 20:34, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Regent (disambiguation)

message: There are now three articles about three different bands with the same name: Regents, The Regents, Regents (band).  I believe this is confusing and contrary to Wikipedia policy.  I would propose that the example of the two groups called 'The Beat' is followed: The Beat (British band) and The Beat (American band) are used, with no one band allowed to 'own' the name.  I would suggest the following: 'The Regents (British Band)', 'The Regents (American doo-wop band)' and 'The Regents (American punk band)'.  There would also be a disambiguation page listing all three.  Any views? Peteinterpol (talk) 21:19, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Wu Bangguo

message: This article previously included the quote: "Hong Kong will have as much power as Beijing wants it to and nothing more", attributed to Wu.
This quote appears to have originated on Wikipedia, and is not to be found in the reference that was cited for the quote. No mention of the quote can be found prior to it appearing on Wikipedia in 2007, and none of the contemporary media reports indicate Wu said anything so direct.
However, the presence of the quote on Wikipedia led to it being replicated on many websites, and even in David Curtis Wright's book, "The History of China".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.84.10.117 (talk) 12:35, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for bringing this up. I have attempted to fix this with a few more sources. "Wu noted that Hong Kong would only get as much authority as granted by Beijing." was the quote from the Standard, I don't think it's terribly far off from the quote in the article - which I agree was inaccurate and lacking in nuance. The solution would be to recruit more editors familiar with Chinese politics, Hong Kong, etc., so that such a mistake does not happen again.  Colipon+(Talk) 16:38, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Au contraire, Wikipedia references need to be neutral, reliable, verifiable, published sources. This excludes Waldorf "puff pieces", Waldorf- or anthroposophical-published sources, and anti-Waldorf polemical sources. Let's please work with sources that are reliable (trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject) and neutral (balanced, neither sympathetic nor in opposition to its subject). In my opinion, the Salon article fails in both cases, reliability and neutrality: badly researched and biased. --EPadmirateur 04:21, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

text: This has probably already driven thebee smack out of his mind, but I was a professional copy editor for years, too, and so let's just hope for the sake of mr bee's sanity that you don't also live anywhere near Philadelphia. I am not sure what you are saying about "Peter Staudenmaier's dissertation" not being allowed here; I don't think he's written a dissertation yet, published or otherwise. There was an attempt to remove his *published* works because they are "polemical" (a concept anthroposophists, in my experience, have considerable difficulty understanding; most seem to have never heard the word before and to conclude it is a simple synonym for "anything Peter Staudenmaier writes" which is also a synonym for "evil"). There is definitely no wikipedia policy against using "online" sources (I mean, come on, surely you know that, and surely if you are a professional copy editor you've had to get past viewing online sources as unacceptable, or else what the heck do you copy edit these days?)

message: I think you will find that the ONLY RAAF squadron in the ETO was No. 10 Squadron RAAF, flying Sunderlands out of RAF Pembroke Dock. The Commonwealth squadrons, of which 467 Squadron was one, were RAF squadrons and did not become part of the RAAF / RCAF until they were repatriated! An exception was the SAAF squadrons which never became part of the RAF, operating jointly.--Petebutt (talk) 17:20, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you suggesting changes to the text, or a change to the article name?

replies: text: Agreed - sources generally call them RAAF squadrons. I'm pretty sure that I've seen wartime era photos and works which refer to them as "RAAF".

thread_title: Explanation of vol smile

message: It is inappropriate to have "volatility surface" diverted to this article, when the former is a much larger subject. Would it be preferred to have two articles, or to have a single article called "volatility surface", with a subsection "volatility smile"?
Also the article makes an unwarranted generalisation at the start. It is an easily observed empirical fact that there is not always a volatility smile in equity index markets. The implied volatility curve at a particular moment in time can be monotone even though there is a kink in the slope at the money. Elroch (talk) 06:14, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
