message: I've placed a  tag on the article String Quartets Nos. 10 - 11, Opus 74 "Harp" and 95 "Serioso" (Beethoven), and a  tag here.  While the Razumovsky quartets at least share an Opus number, the Harp and Serioso quartets were composed and published quite separately.  All they really have in common is that they're middle period quartets with nicknames.  That does not an article make. 
It seems that the only reason any of these "grouped" articles exists is for the convenience of the template , or at least to explain it.  But currently the template divides the quartets into four rows, and makes it look as if either there were four Beethoven periods, or maybe there were three, but only Opp. 74 & 95 belong in the middle period, the Razumovsky's belong in the Early period with the Opus 18's.  Obviously this is wrong, and unintentional.
These two articles combined still border on stub-lenth.  They should be combined into one "middle quartets" article, similar to the Late quartets article; and the template should be fixed.  
Thoughts?  I'll give it a bit before getting bold ;-).  —Turangalila talk 08:39, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not just merge them all into one article on Beethoven's string quartets and revise the template accordingly. It seems like it would be much simpler that way. --RAF (talk) 22:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge this article w/ the "Harp / Serioso" article to group all middle quartets 

message: Three new, very long and difficult Beethoven string quartets, dedicated to the Russian Ambassador, Count Razumovsky, are also attracting attention of all connoisseurs. The conception is profound and the construction excellent, but they are not easily comprehended — with the possible exception of the Third in C major, which cannot but appeal to intelligent lovers of music because of its originality, melody, and harmonic power.Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, 1807-02-27
Have you got these here! Ha! Beethoven, as the world says, and as I believe, is music-mad;—for these are not music. He submitted them to me in manuscript, and, at his request, I fingered them for him. I said to him, that he surely did not consider these works to be music?—to which he replied, “Oh, they are not for you, but for a later age.”Felix Radicati, quoted in

::Those are famous contemporary reviews.  The Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung was a weekly musical journal published in Leipzig; a lot of the juicy commentary on early 19th century music comes from that source.  The other is from Thayer's Life of Beethoven, quoted from Felix Radicati.  What about them doesn't make sense?  Do they need a lead-in paragraph?  Antandrus  (talk) 22:13, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

*English Orthodox (1800s-1920),
*Fairbairnism (c1920)
*Pocock Style (1948)

message: The lead has been changed twice (at least) to spell out that there are 56 smaller trees around the National Christmas Tree, and to list just how many represent D.C. and unincorporated territories of the U.S.  Editors keep adding the word "inhabited", even though no American unincorporated territory is un-inhabited, and no citation distinguishes between inhabited and uninhabited. Furthermore, listing just how many trees represent this or that is information which is far too specific for the lead; the lead is about general information, not about ultra-specific information such as how many unincorporated territories there are and whether each has a small tree or not.  That's for the main text to discuss. - Tim1965 (talk) 17:18, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Territories in the lead 

message: It would be great to know an accurate carbon footprint of the National Christmas Tree, in particular, to help keep Christmas-lovers mindful of our tree consumption and its impact.  Maybe someone somewhere has made an estimate of its impact that could be included.  I've searched superficially & it seems like a good topic for a Wikipedia crowdsource effort, IMHO.  Questions! What is the marginal impact on logging in that Maryland forest (what would the tree have gone to otherwise)? What does the government do with it after it's taken down?
These questions are trivial in the light of this page "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_tree#Environmental_issues" but to know the facts would be great for promoting clean energy use.  The material there seems to indicate that a PVC tree might be better (providing the PVC would be recycled or, better, the tree could be reused next year!)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thinkadoodle (talk • contribs) 17:20, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Keep in mind that it's common practice for people to use male terms when the gender is not known (male-biased gender-neutral), so the owner calling the kitten "him" is probably gender-neutral and not an actual declaration of gender.  I've since restored the usage I originally edited, so that Pussyfoot is "it" and "the kitten", to keep it truly gender neutral. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:30, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I was under the impression that my arguments were clear enough and the move request process had gone unopposed and I had corresponded not with you but with User: Anthony Appleyard over this. 
I am not unaccustomed to overzealous pedantism where Turkey-related subjects are concerned and I was thinking that, once again, we were waiting for the consent of the Greek consulate in Miami, although they must be busy nowadays with radical Islam there to stay - joking :). But I see that it's a matter of proportions. 2:1 as you remarked. Judging on Edremit, , but in wiki environment I will content myself by remarking that this is not the right attitude for help develop the article, something in which I am well qualified to do, knowing the town reasonably well, as I did for many other Turkish cities and towns.

thread_title:  Removing unencyclopedic tables and links 

message: Whoever the idiot is messing with the tables, please speak up. I'm not talking about whoever deleted them or anyone who made intentional vandalism, I'm talking about whoever created the current tables. First of all, a Wikipedia article should not contain an inline citation asking for sections of the article not to be deleted. If you have a problem with edits, seek moderation or start a page of discussion, don't make absurd pleas on the main page. In addition, what you wrote is not a "disclaimer." Get a dictionary. Also, the categories are ridiculous as currently listed. In addition, I suspect whoever edited the chart is also responsible for the massive amount of mistakes now present, with the decimal numbers for almost an entire column for "money raised." 
There will be major changes if you do not respond promptly. Since I do not feel like learning how to construct a table similar to the current one, able to be sorted by any chosen category, I will most likely delete the current table and replace it with the most recent version of the previous table; I will do my best to compare it to the current table to keep it up to date.
If it is important to you that your school be on top because you feel that your school far surpasses others in terms of money raised or amount of years participated-- too damn bad.

message: User:Keithstrachan posted the following text in an edit last month :
:As a first party I can confirm this information. Around August 1988 Peter Gormley, Cliff's manager, (or possibly it was Stuart Ongley his publisher) rang me to say that Cliff loved the song and had already recorded it but had made a few minor changes to the lyric to make it more personal. It was emphasised that Cliff was not asking for any credit or royalty for his contribution. Before hearing the recording, Leslie Stewart the lyricist had concerns that the amended lyrics didn't fit the tune. On hearing the recording Leslie's concerns were assuaged even though the sense of the lyric had been altered. (Keith Strachan 2013)
