Talk:Susan Wood (television presenter)

message: Not entirely sure whether I am violating Wikipedia policy, but please delete this someone if I am and I will get the message.
Has anyone realised that those two words and the shows name, close and up, fits in to a quote that was said by (I'm about eighty percent sure) Marilyn Monroe?  She said, "I'm ready for my close up?".  I checked on Wikiquote but couldn't actually find that quote in her name but I still think she said it.  How interesting, considering later on TVNZ attempted to cut one hundred thousand dollars from her salary before Susan took TVNZ to court over the dispute and won.  Susan began hosting the show at the same time the name was changed to 'Close Up' from 'Holmes' after Paul had left.  Was the shows name, 'Close Up', that Marilyn Monroe quote but especially Susan an inside joke at TVNZ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 (talk) 03:16, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

message: would people who watch this page please review the article, Early infanticidal childrearing, which makes many claims about anthropology and about non-Western societies?  I was once involved in a flame-war with another editor, and it would be inappropriate for me to do a speedy delete or nominate the page for deletion.  More important, I think others need to comment on it.  I engaged in a detailed exchange recently with one other editor here, on the talk page; you may wish to review the discussion but it is getting involuted and I ask that you comment separately.

replies: text: We are using calendar years, not model years. The article says 1984-1985.5 (the .5 meaning May), which corresponds to what an American (but no one else) would call the '85 model year. Stepho-wrs (talk) 00:01, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: 5M-GE Information

message: The quoted specific torque for the 2000GT's 3M is 117 Nm/L, which would be extraordinary for a modern naturally aspirated high performance road car engine (for example the Ferrari 458 Italia's engine produces 120 Nm/L), let alone a 45 year old design.
Furthermore, that much torque at the quoted engine speed (4,800 RPM) would produce 117 kW, which exceeds the engine's quoted peak power, and is therefore clearly incorrect. 121.45.199.29 (talk) 10:39, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:History of the United States National Security Council 1981–1989

message: While this page draws on a website that is public domain ([htp://www.whitehouse.gov]), and provides an external link to the aforementioned site, the article copies verbatim from the website in many places.  Thus while I understand it is not a violation of any copyright laws it does seem less than moral to not cite one's source.  I'd be a newb in this situation.  Is this an issue worth contesting?  Does it deserve reporting?  How does one remedy it?

Category talk:English people of Italian descent

message: I'm not sure how Robert Kilroy-Silk makes this list. And Tom Conti and Dominic Matteo are not Anglo-Italians, they are Scottish Italians. If you want to extend this list to include Scots, it should be re-named British Italians and such names as Charles Forte and Lou Macari added.Bill Tegner 09:33, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I wasn't sure about Kilroy (and Naomi Westermann), I just assumed whoever categorised them knew something I don't. Matteo seems to be a mix of Italian, English and Scottish, so I think he fits, although I've removed Tom Conti. There is an Italo-Scots category, they're both in that.

replies: text: I had added a sentence in the article in order to clarify this point, but it got deleted, because it apparently was unreferenced or irrelevant or trivial. So, I am repeating it here for whomever is interested: "Makednes is an erroneous nominative plural of Μακεδνών based on the existing toponymic grammatical pattern Σερρών-Σέρρες, Αρρένων-Άρρενες, Ακριτών-Ακρίτες, which however does not apply in this case." --Omnipaedista (talk) 00:11, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Henry VI

message: King Charles VII (of France)'s pretention that Henry's coronation was somehow "invalid" and that he had "never been" king of France has been upheld to this day, at least by (some) French dictionaries and other references (even though Henry actually governed France through a regent), so he shares with Emperor Charles the Fat the dubious honour of being "unnumbered" in the lists of French kings by name. "King Henry II of France" is reckoned to have been a later king (born 1519, crowned 1547, died 1559), son of François I.
So I'm removing the number II from "Henry II of France" next to Henry VI (of England)'s name. Tonymec 09:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Adolescent sexuality in India

message: See adolescent sexuality
That article is mean't to have a GLOBAL COVERAGE of the subject so i think this article should be deleted and/or simply redirect to the main article as its creation along with adolescent sexuality in Britain and adolescent sexuality in the United States would put undue strain on the wiki servers if so many articles are created.
We have a main article, let's use it!
We can easily integrate what is here into the main article once protection is removed and disputes have been resolved... then text can be mined for POV'S etc, and we can perhaps put major pov's into a seperate article on controversy over adolescent sexuality as has been proposed by myself in talk:adolescent sexuality
Nateland 21:01, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. Merge is probably a good idea, it may attract additional information to the main page. When there is too much information there it can be subdivided.

One question: should the timeline go at the top of the article or the bottom? Would a separate written history section make any sense?
Also, does the controversy over Qt's licensing - which was a MAJOR ISSUE at the time - need any more detail? --David Gerard 14:26, Feb 6, 2004 (UTC)
:Hi David. I looked at the changes you did this and they all are very good IMHO. The article looks much better now :-) The timeline should, for the moment, stay where it is. Having such a list at the top of an article would disturb and looks bad from an aesthetical point of view. The timeline has more the character of an appendix. Nevertheless I very much agree that it would be great to have a written section about the history of the KDE project. Within this section the Qt license contorvery should be mentioned and some part of the "KDE and GNOME" section could be incorporated too. --mkrohn 23:43, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

:If KonsoleKalendar is a part of KDE, but folks have concern about adding it and other apps to the overall KDE article, might I suggest a KDE applications supplementary article. That would avoid stub pages like KonsoleKalendar and provide room to organize and discuss individual apps. If any description became too large, it could always be moved to a separate page.

Talk:Abraham Cooper

message: Surfing various web sites indicates that the Crib & Rosa painting was painted by Samuel Raven in 1816, not 1817. Raven was a follower of Abraham Cooper. The 1817 is the date of John Scott's engraving that popularized the Crib & Rosa image. Cooper's real love and the subject of the bulk of his work was horses. Perhaps we can locate a representation of on of his paintings such as is visible here. When and if I can find reputable sources for the above, I'll incorporate the facts into the article.

message: Two tags were placed by User:Artlondon today,  and .
Citations missing? A short bio based on four obituaries? And cleanup needed... without any note as to what or why needs cleaning up, and not even an edit summary? Artlondon, I don't want to discourage you, but do you realize how pointlessly discouraging such tag spam is for the people who read and summarized these obits? Please give specifics when you diss an article. I sure can't see anything dirty or unswept in this one, so what needs sweeping up? Meanwhile, I've removed the tags. They don't serve any purpose other than to aggravate authors. Bishonen | talk 01:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think he may have wanted inline citations. Gareth 11:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I daresay, but inline citations would be pedantry run mad in a case like this. Inline citations aren't decorations or a formality, they're for use when there's some point to having them. That would be when you have, say, a not-commonly-known fact and a fat book that you got it from: then the reader needs an inline cite pointing to the book in question and giving a page number for where the fact is to be found. None of that applies here. Basically, all the obits have all the same facts in them, and reading them to verify something in particular four times over takes about five minutes. Note that I'm not holding this article to a lesser citational standard than Featured Articles (about which an Inline Cite Holy War is presently raging). All pages need to be optimally referenced. My point is that this one already is. Unlike most Wikipedia articles, if you don't mind my mentioning it. Perhaps the tags came unstuck from one of our many, many unreferenced, poorly written, promotional stubs and fluttered over to this nice little bio on the breeze?

Talk:Freshtel

message: This page was tagged for speedy deletion by User:Slf67 some 40 minutes after it went up.  That's a pretty good response time  .  However, I must contest this decision.
The implication, of course, is that this page constitutes spam.  Wikipedia is an anthropological reflection of our world, and as such should aim to describe all the things in this world as fully and as accurately as possible.  Freshtel exists, it is not fictional, it's a company like many others.
The only valid argument about this page is that it did not cite its sources.  I have remedied this.
Wikipedia is run by the people.  I believe that we should allow people other than me to contribute to this page, in order to give their views.  I do not feel that it should be destroyed, and the information collected within it to be scattered to the winds.  Even if this is done, at some stage, sooner or later, someone will put up a page to replace it; that page will also describe the same company, but might do so no more accurately, and will clearly necessitate a duplication of effort.
For these reasons, I request that either:
# if the current addition of references is seen as sufficient, the speedy deletion tag is removed; or
# a user modifies the page into a satisfactory state, and removes the speedy deletion tag; or
# a user suggests some changes that should be made, with a view to the speedy deletion tag being removed once those changes are in place.
Hopefully this is not too much to ask  . --pmj 10:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Could someone please make a seperate article on the Goldstein Conditions.
Summarized as follows:
f(x) + (1-c)(α)*(g^T*p) <= f(x+αp) <= f(x) + cα(g^T*p)  : 0 < c < 1/2
p is the step direction, g is the gradient, g^T*p is the dot product of g and p; note, no index is used, but each variable could have "k" attached to indicate they are all on the same kth step.
Also note in both articles: The Wolfe conditions are better for Quasi-Newtons methods while the Goldstein conditions are better for exact Newton methods.  In practice, the Goldstein conditions may actually find no suitable α; but in general, they have the same theoretic convergence properties.

Talk:Waterloo Tunnel

message: Something is wrong here. This article, and the one for Victoria Tunnel (Liverpool), state that the Victoria Tunnel (2475m) runs from the docks to the short cutting gap, and the Waterloo Tunnel (862m) runs from the cutting gap to Edge Hill.
However, in actual fact, the shorter of the two tunnels is the one at the west (docks) end, and the longer one runs through to Edge Hill (east). The gap is located adjacent to Byrom Street (A59).
The trouble is, I don't know which tunnel is which by name, so I don't know whether it is the relative locations, or the lengths that I should switch round!!
