message: ::It really begins to look like you have a personal bee in your bonnet about this. What's the story? Come on share it with the rest of us ;-). These deletion debates can be very amusing. --SandyDancer 10:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment SandyDancer, I -am- a deletionist and I voted keep here. Citations are made in the article through, among other publications, The New York Times, the Financial Times, and multiple mentions on the BBC. My idea of the notability guidelines is that they are intended as an extension of the verifiability guidelines, in that a non-notable subject will also tend to be unverifiable. However, in this case, the subject is both notable and verifiable, and clearly passes the WP:BIO requirement of multiple secondary source mentions. Please also do remember to be civil and assume good faith. Seraphimblade 10:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:CDS – People's Party

message: The party is not called the "Social Democratic Centre", and I am unclear as to why the article should be called that.  Its Portuguese name means "Democratic and Social Centre", which is quite different.  Furthermore, the current title encourages confusion with the Social Democratic Party.

Talk:List of castles and fortresses in Romania

message: Hi.
I think citadels should be removed from this article as they are not classed as castles at all but as fortresses. Otherwise, we would have to include all medieval fortresses from Romania in this article, and there are dozens of those.
I say they should all be removed and put in a separate article called List of fortresses in Romania.
Everyone ok with that?
The Romanian version of this article does not include any citadels or mansions. Not even palaces. Just castles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.185.129.17 (talk) 14:24, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:First Battle of Fort McAllister

message: I have made a major expansion of the article based primarily on Durham's work.  Schiller's work (often a rehash of the prior NPS booklet) does not check out as well vs. sources so it is used far less.  I would provide an image from the NPS booklet as well, but the NPS site with some of the historical booklets is unreachable at the moment (odd because it was the cr.nps sites that have been an issue, but these links have not in the past.)  Chrisman's work is older and not included, because Durham's largely appears to be an improvement in detail upon it.  Red Harvest (talk) 10:59, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major expansion 

message: It looks like it would be best to expand the scope of this battle summary/description past that of the actual final engagement and treat it as a longer operation.  (I'm not proposing renaming as that doesn't appear necessary.)  The reason is that this was a series of engagements that tested the fort, the new monitors, and the mines.  Making the suggested change follows the pattern of The Civil War Battlefield Guide 2nd Ed. which used the same American Battlefield Protection Program designation in the NPS link, but gives the dates as Jan. 27-March 3 and refers to the set as "Union Naval Attacks on Fort McAllister:  January-March 1862."  The Guide's casualty summary seems to reflect this by showing a single CS casualty (battery commander killed in earlier action) although there were actually other Confederates wounded as well in this action, but none in the final March 3 engagement.

Talk:History of the violin

message: The only mention of a Renaissance fiddle in Grove Music is to the Viola da braccio. To clarify, is this the Renaissance fiddle this article is talking about? If so, I think this should be specified. --nkayesmith 11:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Renaissance Fiddle

message: This article narrowly focuses on the early prototypes and Golden Age makers, mostly Cremonese. That is the gourmet side of the violin world, and few of us have seen or heard, let alone handled, such instruments. What about more "ordinary" violins, often beloved by their players?
There is room for expansion, particularly regarding trade violins, mass-produced in cottage industries of scattered workshops, and later in more centralized factories. Instruments of various levels of quality came in great numbers from Bohemia, Saxony, the Mittenwald, and Mirecourt. Some of them found their way into the Sears catalog. In the early 20th century, young Shin'ichi Suzuki had a job in his father's violin factory. Nowadays, violins (again of various levels of quality, from hastily built wall decorations to some very nice instruments) are coming in great numbers from China. Bulgaria, Romania, and the Czech Republic also produce violins... 
If I find time and motivation, I will do some research and add a bit about all this. In the meantime, if some knowledgeable person sees this opportunity, there it is. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 18:30, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The article states that Gore started his own team, only to go an give a history of '00 Motorsport' and state that the team uses cars built in 2003 (before Gore brought the team). Prehaps Gore either purchased the '00' franchize and not the team, or even started his own team and brought the old 00 cars.

Talk:Eternal return (Eliade)

message: Much of this article was written like a lecture, which is unacceptable according to WP:NPOV. Given the large unreferenced passages, it is still unclear to me whether the contributor has written down aspects of the theory as defined and applied by Eliade and other researchers (which should be referenced), or if he or she has made his/her own guesses (which should mean that fragments in question are to be deleted pronto). See for example the entire section about the theory's implications for Christianity. Also note that one of the references given (namely, Squire) does not appear to use or endorse the theory - since wikipedia does not allow original research, we should have a source saying that the theory has been applied to Irish mythology, and not that it could be applied. Not to mention the Kalevala, where the actual citation needed would be not the text itself, but what a published author applying Eliade's theory has used Kalevala for.

text: It is hard for me to tell, since it may be a really small detail, but you are in a best position to review your own text: this usually happens when a citation template is incomplete (usually, because it is missing a "</ref>" at the end, or because that "</ref>" part is missing a "/"). If it is not that, it is something similar: try and look over all your recent edits again. Dahn 12:32, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe that Nale, Thog and Sabine's entries in the article have gotten a bit too long, particularily Nale's and Sabine's.

replies: text: I think it would be quite possible to simply have one section describing the history of the Guild as a whole, which could be made considerably shorter than the individual sections put together, simply by virtue of eliminating a lot of the unnecessary detail, then have short sections dealing with the individual personalities.

But I believe the consortium of owners was wider still; so I haven't edited yet. I'd like an authoritative source for the members of the ownership consortium.

He owned half of Desert Orchid, Jimmy Burridge initially owned a quarter and the other quarter was owned by Simon Bullimore (also mentioned in that Yorkshire Post article), who was a partner in the same firm of solicitors as Jimmy Burridge. Jimmy's half was subsequently split between him and Midge so they owned 12.5% each.  No other owners are mentioned in the book beyond those four. As Richard Burridge was generally the media face of the Desert Orchid partnership I suppose the papers regarded him as "owner" rather than "co-owner".

Talk:Architectural Design

message: Stephen Games adds: 'Those of us who remember Architectural Design in its earlier incarnation will have serious doubts about the truth of the claim in the paragraph above that "Its golden period was during the late 1970s and 1980s." On the contrary, it was the fact that AD was already a groundbreaking magazine, especially under the editorship of Monica Pidgeon, that made it an attractive purchase for Andreas Papadakis in the 1970s. It had previously been the UK's self-appointed house magazine of hyper-modernism, publishing work by Archigram, for example, and promoting the interests of Team Ten, but this was eventually compromised by its flirtation with the psychedelic graphics of magazines like Oz, and by a corresponding blindspot for intelligible prose. It was nonetheless capable, in the 1960s and early 70s, of generating an architectural buzz that went far beyond its earlier tone of propriety, and it should be remembered for that. This sense of the magazine is not reflected in this entry, but there seems to be no way to re-write the introductory paragraph, above. Perhaps the editors of Wikipedia could address this.'
