Talk:1989 NBA playoffs

message: Bias towards particular teams- I undid a few detailed notes regarding specific outcomes of the 1989 playoffs as they related to the Chicago Bulls.  I think if we're going to do that, we need to apply the commentary a little more broadly, rather than turning a statistical page into a narrative of the rise of the Chicago Bulls?  Also, the description at the top does a fine job of outlining specific points regarding overall trends for the Lakers, Bulls, Pistons and Celtics, which at the time were probably the big four relevant teams, with the Lakers and Pistons as the peak, the Bulls rising, and the Celtics falling.  If I'm out of line here, please question me.  I'm kind of a wiki-newb.Vertov76 (talk) 15:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Jojo

message: Please keep in mind that disambiguation pages are not regular articles, and they have their own guidelines. Per the style guide for disambiguation pages, red links should be placed on dab pages under two circumstances: 1) When the dabbed item is linked on the page referred to in the entry. For example, Jojo is mentioned, but not linked, in the article Get Back, so it can be listed, but not linked, on the dab page. 2) When the editor is confident that an article about the dabbed item will be written. In this case, of the four items in question, two (the single & the novel) might have articles created for them, but I am far from confident that it will happen any time soon; the Potato wedges already have an article; and the Beatles character will never have an article, so why link it?
On the subject of piping, the dabbed term should be piped for the purposes of formatting--e.g. to italicize a book title, or put quotes around a song title--but never to hide the actual, full title of the article being linked. --ShelfSkewed Talk 04:58, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Keep America Beautiful

message: I am thinking about  the 1970's which was incredibly important given the context of that era.  Perhaps a stand alone article might be appropriate since this article speaks to a corporation.  Flibbertigibbets (talk) 14:55, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Campaign of the 1970's 

message: When I read, and reread the article, it is missing the context of the day.   It was a time when  Milk delivery in glass bottles (soda delivery in glass bottles) diaper services were all becoming anachronisms.   The cost of the container or product required efficient handling including recycling.                   Even the "girth" of  beer cans (in terms of material usage) were quite different.    Add to that the civic awareness regarding litter of the day.    Enter companies with disposable products which in turn created a knock-on effect. 
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/nB9mTWPPJ4mDNS6wtV76bP/how-did-disposable-products-ever-become-a-thing
https://www.city-journal.org/disposable-products-environmentally-sound
I have to think of how to approach this a bit more; perhaps the article could use some context; appended to the statement below.
Keep America Beautiful's narrow focus on litter, and its characterization of litter as a consumer created problem, is seen as an attempt to divert an extended producer responsibility from the industries that manufacture and sell disposable products to consumers who improperly dispose of the non-returnable wrappers, filters, and beverage containers.[18]

Talk:Masakari

message: Were these intended as weapons, or were they farmer's tools, woodcutters' axes, or the like, adapted from their peaceful purposes? LordAmeth 10:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: 鉞 (masakari) refers axes with wide blades, which also called 刃広 (habiro, lit. "blade, wide"), and not limited to battle-axes. Those with narrow blades are called 斧 (yoki) or 狭刃 (seba, lit. "narrow blade"). These two types are generically called 斧鉞 (fuetsu) or in Buddhism 鉞斧 (eppu). Both were originally woodcutters' tools. These axes were believed to defeat the evil spirits. And so, some bosatsu statues have axes in their hands. This is also the reason that axes have important religious meaning for yamabushi, not only as their physical weapons. The term masakari is familiar to Japanese as Kintaro's weapon. --210.237.247.228 (talk) 14:06, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree.  Pcstas, Director of the Frederique Constant watch co., gratuitously mentions his own product, the Heart Beat watch, in the second sentence.  The picture is of his own escape wheel with his company's logo worked into it.  Most of the text is ad copy from a Frederique press release.  He doesn't mention the many other watch manufacturers making silicon escape wheels, such as Ulysse Nardin, Jaeger LeCoulter, and Breguet.  The article also violates NPOV, presenting the silicon escape wheel as the wave of the future. He doesn't mention any doubts, disadvantages of silicon such as brittleness and high temperature coefficient, or that it is only one of many high tech materials being tried in escapements, such as nickel phosphorus and diamond. This is an ad, and needs to be either completely rewritten, or preferably edited down to a few sentences and merged into some other article. --Chetvorno 01:14, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Llysfaen

message: Nice work by Joe to expand it from a stub to its current state.  Most villages and towns get rated as "low" importance, but that's not a snub to Llysfaen.  As for future improvements:
#References for the information added - there are some, but more are needed
#Some formating of the existing references e.g. there shouldn't be a space between the full-stop and the reference (tedious, I know, but see WP:MOS for everything you didn't want to know about this and many, many more things...)
#Expansion of the one-sentence paragraphs, especially in the 20th century section. Can anything else be said about the railway, for example?
#Adding in historical census-related data and information about Llysfaen from the current census - see Penmon, Anglesey for examples and links
#Other MOS points include not wiki-linking individual years, unnecessary additional line breaks between paragraphs and some minor grammatical points that a good copy-edit will fix (I know what you're thinking: "Sofixit", but no time today!)
#Personally, I'd put "history" before "facilities", and I'm not sure that the number of phone boxes in the village is encyclopaedic!
#Searching in the local news websites, e.g. Daily Post may bring up some useful extra information.  
#Photos?  Difficult unless someone happens to be there, I suspect.
Overall, I'd give it a "start" but it wouldn't take much more to get it to a "B" grade.  Hope this helps. Bencherlite 16:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
