message: This page has been zealously - perhaps overly - pruned.  I think it would be good to re-build this page, or perhaps something more general on traditionally-crafted steel-framed bicycles. If anyone has any good verifiable sources and has the time, I'd strongly encourage this.

replies: text: I would say that the notability of this company needs to be established first via reliable third-party sources (WP:ORG). The lack of RSs is what lead the article to be "pruned" in the first place. Then it would be great to build a quality article on the company (as it would all subjects that meet WP:N). I do not think that an article about a specific company should be repurposed to be an article about "traditionally-crafted steel-framed bicycles", though. If that subject is notable, it should get its own article. Novaseminary (talk) 15:58, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Gear case

message: This page makes sense, since the millions of instances of use of the phrase "gear case," including, but not limited to, industrial machinery gearboxes, heavy equipment gear boxes, and automobiles, probably are derived from this usage.  --Mlprater (talk) 23:36, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:HMS Glowworm

message: Hi! Either this link is wrong here,  or all the others. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/HMS_Glowworm_(1915), what is the source which  proves 1916? 89.132.194.169 (talk) 21:40, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The ship was launched in 1916, therefore the link is to 1916 because according to WP:SHIPS, the disambiguation is by launch year. Your argument is supported by a template being wrong. Please read WP:RS, WP:NCSHIPS before making further changes to Wikipedia. Llammakey (talk) 11:53, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Stop pinging me. The talk page is watchlisted. The template is the Insect-class gunboat template, where you got your claim that all the other articles state it was 1915. The only place where the HMS Glowworm (1915) is linked in all the other articles is via the template. As for the date, which was your problem not mine, Colledge and Warlow, p. 266 state the ship was launched on 5 February 1916. I will change the template so you don't get your underwear in a hitch going forward. Next time, you bring sources to back up your claims. That's how WP:BRD works.

I don't usually edit wikipedia articles, but this one stood out to me as unusually biased.

Talk:Jerome H. Holland

message: Much more needs to be written about Holland's accomplishments in football.  Otherwise the placing of him in the College Football Hall of Fame & the other references to his post-football status don't make sense, other than through implication. Obviously, this guy had high stature in his achievements in football, but did he set any records - either team, league or national? Was he an All-American? Probably not, as a result of segregation. This could also lead to other articles on athletic racial or sexual segregation, that probably deserve entry in an encyclopedia, like Wikipedia. Stevenmitchell (talk) 01:06, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Ralpe (talk) 18:16, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The official English spelling is "Schlossberg", see the discussion above. The official German spelling remains "Schloßberg", because it's a proper name.

Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature".

Talk:Public library ratings

message: I suggest this article be deleted. I added the criticism section, since the article was written by the very person who sells "HAPLR" as a product. Essentially he is using Wikipedia to promote his project. Until I added some pertinent criticism there was no attempt to bring any balance to the subject.

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Camjoe (talk • contribs) 17:13, 8 September 2007
I'm with you on this.  One of the pertinent criticisms that could be made of the HAPLR ratings is why it doesn't also provide the names of the worst-rated libraries.

Talk:Futtock shrouds

message: "It's not clear whether the preference for the futtock shrouds had a basis in practical considerations, or simply a macho display of skill and courage."
This sentence seems out of place to me.  I think its unencyclopedic to muse about the motivations for particular behaviours.  I don't have any sources at hand, but consider that climbing up the futtock shrouds leads directly to the next set of shrouds, which attatch to or near to the top of the futtock shrouds.  Going through a lubbers hole introduces a diversion in that one has to turn around to reach the next set of shrouds and then get around to the outside before ascending.  I've read that sailing warships would have topmen stationed at the tops and perhaps for getting to the tops themselves a lubbers hole made sense.  On merchant ships sailors would ascend to the upper rigging directly from the deck, and being more often than not short handed (particularly in the last days of sail) speed and efficency were important. I'm going to remove the sentence.  --john.james (talk) 01:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
