Category talk:People self-identified as ex-gay

message: I propose deletion of this category. It's really just unnecessary. There are only nine pages in this category after I was forced to remove 3 names of people who have never once stated that they are so called "ex gays". It would be more agreeable to move these pages to the category "Ex-gay movement" which already exists. If it was up to me though these idiots wouldn't even have Wikipedia pages... if I wrote an article about somebody who became notable after claiming they had "cured" their left-handedness everyone would think I'm insane.. I don't really see a difference with sexual orientation... most of these 9 individuals are NOT notable and shouldn't have articles. FULL STOP. Cheers, --Jkaharper (talk) 23:08, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Pseudo-Scymnus

message: Just a minute ago I committed a large change to the article. Some thing to note: the pervious version of the article mentioned that The Circumnavigation of the Earth was the title of the work, but I have never seen this mentioned anywhere else. The only title I've read in the referenced works is the Periodos to Nicomedes so I've used that instead.
More annoying is that I can't find a good easily readable English translation. All I know of is this 19th century publication by Meineke which contains the original Greek with Latin commentary, or something (don't understand either language). Even for an original text this leaves a lot to be desired because the text is difficult to read and was not recognized by OCR, so there is no plain text version of the original. Hopefully someone could find anything better?
A source still needs to be found to back up the claim that the Periodos to Nicomedes was published in Augsburg in 1600, I didn't see it mentioned in the source of Bunbury. Using the reference to Diller, it should be explained in a more elaborate way why Pausanias of Damascus is most likely the real author.
Finally, I think the Periodos to Nicomedes deserves its own article once we have enough information, but for now I think it's best if we add a description of the content to this article. AlexanderVanLoon (talk) 15:56, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Publilius Optatianus Porfyrius

message: The Bibliography section for this article is woefully inadequate. It contains the work of just one author, and all of that quite recent. Optatianus is not a well-known or well-studied historical figure, but certainly there has been much more published about him. I do not edit Wikis pages (bad experiences in the past when doing so), but someone needs to use the Links and "mine" them for bibliographical information and update the Biblio section of the article. Otherwise, this article will remain very half-a**. 2605:E000:FFC0:3B:3D3B:5507:A745:F97 (talk) 20:18, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Sarah Green (novelist)

message: We also have articles on Sarah Green (film producer) and Sarah Franscesca Green who is commonly known as just Sarah Green (that article should probably be moved to Sarah Green (anthropologist)). None of them strikes me as so much more important than the others that she could be considered the primary topic. Thus I'd propose moving this article to Sarah Green (author) and to turn Sarah Green into a disambiguation page. Huon (talk) 03:38, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I would support this, and I would further suggest a strong likelihood of somebody typing "Sarah Green" into the search box to actually want Sarah Greene, who by presenting Blue Peter and other BBC television programmes became a household name to an entire generation of British children, but hasn't made as many notable appearances since the early 1990s. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  08:30, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

text: This article currently has a disambiguation hatnote pointing to Sarah Greene, and the disambiguation page should also list her, probably in a "See also" section. Huon (talk) 08:38, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

text: Done. A disambiguation page is one that just has links to various similarly-named articles a reader might be looking for; take for example John Miller. Since we have articles on three different persons named "Sarah Green", with none of them so much more important than the others, that's what I propose turning this article into, so that readers looking up "Sarah Green" will be presented with the list of articles they may be interested in (including Sarah Greene in case they spelled her wrong) instead of all being pointed towards the author.

Talk:King Biscuit Boy

message: The date of death in the standard format on the right side of the page says he died at 58, but the Health and death section says he died a few months before his 60th birthday, which means he was 59. Which is true?
Robigus (talk) 17:25, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If the listed birth and death dates are correct, the arithmetic would indicate that he was 58 years old at the time of his death (just shy of his 59th birthday).  If he had lived, he would have celebrated his 60th birthday on 9 March 2004.  Checking the various references listed for this article, the birth and death dates listed seem to be accurate.

Talk:Walter George (athlete)

message: Someone saw fit to change all times recorded at 1/5 of a second or full second to tenth of a second, i.e., 4:14 2/5 becomes 4:14.4 and 4:27 becomes 4:27.0
The logic in rendering times in fifths and with no decimal for full numbers is that is the time that we have. Putting a decimal in place implies an accuracy to a tenth of a second which most certainly was not available for the era in question.
So when we have a race recorded as "4:29", rendering it to 4:29.0 implies an accuracy which was not then present.
If the member would care to supply a rationale here, please do so. Because a lot of the other little changes - metric equivalents etc - are appropriate, but I couldn't separate the reversions. Canada Jack 15:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved to William Arnold (master mason). Moving to master mason as that title doesn't appear to have any objection. No prejudice towards another move request to master builder instead, though the proposer should be prepared to provide sources that the terminology should, in fact, be builder, instead of mason.

replies: text: William Arnold (architect) →  – The article does not refer to William Arnold as an architect, but rather as a a master builder or mason. One of the works cited on this page, Thomas Graham Jackson's Wadham College (1893), specifically makes the distinction between architect and master mason: "the professional architect, as we have him, did not come into being till about the time when Wadham was being built... the real architect was the master mason...  he saw to the quarrying of the stone, gave the design... this seems to have been the position of William Arnold" (page 33). The title of the page should be changed to reflect this. Thanks! Medarduss (talk) 08:40, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:William Cummings (athlete)

message: there are a number of statements in this article that do not bear scrutiny. 
1. the claim that professional runners were called ``bagtagger's" seems to be incorrect. bagtagger itself is not a word, a Google search for it brings up suggestions: ``Did you mean: bagtaggar, bagtags, booktagger" bagtaggar is the avatar of a profesisonal illustrator otherwise known as Stanley von Medvey from Chicago, while a Bag Tagger is a device for automatically attaching tags to bags, labels on produce bags and luggage labels to suitcases and such. I have been writing about athletics for thirty years and have never heard the term. it does not appear once in David Jamieson's book on the history of professional sprinting. to retain it in this article requires a source.
2. all modern sources give Cummings 1 mile in Glasgow on 21 September 1878, which this article is claiming to be 4:18 1/4, as doubtful. Bell's Life, a contemporary newspaper, gives the time as 4:21 and says he was 20-30 yards on his way when the gun was fired. see, for example, Peter Lovesey's book, British Athletics (1866-1880) page 165, where he gives the best mile in Britain that year, professional or amateur, as Cummings' 4:19 1/2 at Glasgow on 5 October.
3. in 1879 Cummings did come second to Edgar Dickenson of Ipswich in the race for the Champion Belt at Lillie Bridge on 6 December, but he also ran the fastest mile in Britain that year, 4:19 1/2 at Motspur Park, Manchester, on 8 November.
4. attributing the slow death of professional athletics to the dominance of Walter Cummings is highly problematic. Cummings was dominant as a professional, and professional athletics was dying, but connecting the two is a dubious strategy unsupported by sources. professional athletics was dying because the punters got tired of being cheated. there are a number of instances of riots at running grounds when the crowd felt cheated by meet promoters, and this culminated with the fire at Lillie Bridge in September 1887. after that professional athletics died out in the south of England and the headquarters shifted to Sheffield, and then to Edinburgh, where the Powderhall Sprint became effectively the professional championship. it is neither accurate nor fair to attribute any of that to William Cummings, unless you have a source, of course.Cottonshirtτ 02:27, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Seek truth from facts

message: The block-quotation box from Hu Fuming’s “Practice is the Sole Criterion for Testing Truth” begins without quotation marks, much as one would expect in a block quote.
It then introduces double quotation marks to identify a brief excerpt from Mao: “There is only one truth, and whoever discovers the truth does not rely on subjective exaggeration, but on objective practice”. All good so far.
The next line reads as follows (ie no quotation marks): Only the revolutionary practice of millions of people is the yardstick for testing the truth.
This, I think, is actually part of the quote from Mao (in On New Democracy).
Then we get another open quotation, which is never finished, plus a few single words inside quotation marks.
Is there anybody sufficiently familiar with the source materials to clarify the presentation of this quoted passage? For all that it is lengthy, technical, and somewhat dry, it’s from an enormously significant publication, and the sentiment expressed marks a striking departure from the didactic “mass line” edicts of the Cultural Revolution years.
