thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: ENGL 2730-05 - Children's Literature

message: I am planning on making some changes to the article in the coming weeks to this article! For the most part, I will be working on adding and combining sections to this article. The new potential structure that I believe will be with this article after I complete my analysis is in this order: an updated lead section, an updated background section, a brand new plot section, a brand new analysis section (where themes will be discussed), an expanded critical receptions section (where awards and public reception will be included), an edited adaptations section, and new citations at the bottom. These citations will help add a lot of content to the article, and the goal of my edits are to provide more content and analysis through the research I found. Please see my annotated bibliography in the bibliography sandbox on the Wikipedia dashboard for more about the research that I found. Nlaszewski (talk) 16:54, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Nobody Nowhere

message: I'm assuming this article is on somebody's watchlist so that I'm not just talking to myself here ... anyway, minor question: early on in the edit history of this article, someone at the IP address 124.254.75.238 wrote that the Nobody Nowhere CD was released in 1996.  That seems believable to me, because I have a clear memory of browsing an Internet page about it in 1998 or 1999 in my high school.  (And the 1998 date seems more likely.)  But, all the sources I can find seem to point towards 2000.  My guess is that perhaps it was run through self-publishing at first and then picked up by a record label, but can that happen??  The person who wrote 1996 seems to know a lot about Donna Williams so I would normally trust them but none of the sources I can find have a 1996 publication date.  <FONT COLOR="#800000"><B>Soap</B></FONT> Talk/Contributions 23:31, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Subjectivity/Notability

message: I am not sure if this topic meets the  Wikipedia Notability  guidelines.  I know that Alleycat races have been the subject of several films.  The most popular are Lucas Brunelle's videos, which have several thousand views on youtube.  Mr Brunelle's videos have also had large audiences (100s at different screenings), at various Bicycle Film Festivals.  Alleycats have been the subject of several dozen media 'life-style' articles.  But does this make Alleycats notable?
I would like some help with this.  This article needs substantial improvement, but I am not willing to take it further without guidance.

thread_title:  Notable 

message: I found this too messenger-centric.
"is the name given to a bicycle race, sometimes organised and ridden by bicycle messengers.  The races are styled to mimic the sorts of riding a messenger might encounter while working.  The races typically do not have a pre-disclosed course and often use checkpoints instead of a fixed route.  They frequently take place after dark, and they often happen on major holidays such as Halloween and St. Valentines Day. The concept of the night race has long been a universal one in bike messenger culture,"
So I changed it.  The ref I added for the new para includes an article written by two Torontonians steeped in Alleycat history.  Hope that's ok.

Talk:Nutter McClennen & Fish

message: Sources and notability being addressed as time allows.   
Sources for Nutter's high ranking among both summer and midlevel associates -- year after year -- is now linked.  "Summer associates" are the upcoming pool of law school grads; they ranked Nutter as the second most desireable firm in the country.
Sources for Nutter's "Best Lawyers" and "Massachusetts Super Lawyers" rankings now linked.
What could be the notability or "POV" issues here? This is one of the oldest and most well-known firms in the country.  Brandeis/Warren history speaks for itself, reputation and ranking of attorneys well-established and referenced, ranking and desireability among summer and midlevel associates well-established and referenced, client list -- even this partial one -- pretty damn impressive.  What's the problem?  Someone from WilmerHale complain?
The founders do make the firm notable, but the entry does read like an advertisement. Rewriting for a neutral POV and citing sources would be useful. What is it that Wilmer Hale would say? Longobord (talk) 00:32, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Talk:Annie Londonderry

message: It is a bit far-fetched to call Annie Cohen Kopchovsky for Latvian. At the time (1870-1875) Latvia was not a state, Latvians were an ethnicity/nation living on soil governed by other nations. Kopchovsky is a Russian or Polish surname. Cohen is Jewish and her parents were most likely Russian citizens. It would be more correct to call Annie a Russian Jew from Riga, which now is in Latvia.

Talk:Of Miracles

message: Hume's argument is not entirely circular, but his definitions determine the conclusions.  He defines "miracle" as something we can't believe, and it inevitably follows that anything we believe happened was not a miracle.  It becomes an epistemological argument.  He hasn't proven that miracles don't exist, only that we don't believe in them. — Randall Bart 22:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: First, he doesn't define a miracle as something that we can't believe (where do you find that?).  Secondly, his aim is indeed epistemological — to show that we can never have grounds to believe that a miracle has occurred.  You seem to think that that's a criticism. --Mel Etitis  (Talk) 23:30, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

These are not only uncontroversial issues, but ones for which it would be very difficult to provide a citation. What is a recourse in such circumstances? Can a contributer who diagrees with tags remove them? Must a higher authority be involked?
Cmsg 18:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not a matter for calling the Wikicops.  You've done the usual first step, which is to mention it in the talk page.  If in a couple days nobody objects, take action.  Since the whole section has only one tangential cite, some sort of flag is appropriate, but a profusion of flags rarely brings a profusion of citations, so better either to plant only one flag at the end of the section, or look for an appropriate section template.  WP:CITE is one place to start looking.  And of course it would be nice to be able either to replace the flagged phrases with unobjectionable ones or cite them or replace with a link to another article, but obviously there are cases where that's unnecessary, impractical or silly.

There was an essay by Mudrooroo Nungar, oh about 20 years ago that talked about the term and his preference for "blackfulla" and "mob" over the more formal "aborigine" and "tribe" which he felt carried conotations that didn't quite align with blackfulla experience and history.
