How come horse mackerel are listed as known as pollock ? Pollack giving the more normal spelling are a member of the cod and haddock group and completely unrelated.

I would suggest removing references to any current restaurant, as it is unlikely that a current list could be created that would be comprehensive, and anything less would imply an endorsement.

Talk:End of the Han dynasty

message: Jesus, it was hard reading this article, because the players' full names were only mentioned once then only the family name is used. I know this is the general convention in wikipedia, but we're dealing with Chinese names here (many have the same name), and many or these people are related. It gets very confusing at times. They aren't that long anyway. If this was a biography of just one person than that will be fine, but there are so many names in this article, in many instances, one name can refer to multiple persons. Sure, you can trace up paragraph to search for the matching name, but that makes it inconvinient for readers. Shall we agree on using full name for this article?

text: More on shooter's background and mental issues.  References in media to his being "semi-illiterate" are misleading as apparently English was his second language.  Seems like this and related cultural problems contributed to his alienation and lack of communication that undermined his business endeavors.
This might be a late inquiry, but are the specifics of the shooters Grievances listed anywhere for reference?  There was a lot of commentary and jokes told about the shooting during that time period.  While most open public sympathy was for the victims, at was by no means entirely universal.  Not too many people were overly sympathetic to the shooter in this, however there were a lot of people who fairly openly stated that "shooting up a lawyers office is not as bad as shooting up a school yard".  Hence public reaction to the 101 California street incident was not as pronounced as the earlier Stockton Schoolyard Massacre which had much more quickly prompted more gun control measures in California which prior to the gun bans had represented a full 1/3 of the market on "semiautomatic assault weapons".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.222.193 (talk) 17:33, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  State of siege 

message: This article is politically biased and not well referenced. There were many reasons for the labor strikes in Uruguay in the early sixties; they were internally generated, not by Soviet influences. Rather, Pacheco used the fear of Soviet influences to justify the State of Emergency and repressive measures. The citation given is an article by a politician (Sanguinetti), not scholarly or unbiased. I cannot fix this myself, but someone needs to go through and correct it using proper historic materials, e.g. "Historiai Contemporanea del uruguay" by Gerardo Caetano and Jose Rilla. The Spanish page is slightly better.

Talk:American V: A Hundred Highways

message: I seem to recall "Like the 309" having its own separate article. I'm not sure how long it was (probably no longer than a few sentences), but I'm not sure why it redirects to this page now. Several of Cash's other songs have separate articles, including "The Man Comes Around", which, as opposed to tracks like "I Walk the Line" and "Ring of Fire", was not released as a single and is notable primarily due to its powerful subject matter (though even that is POV). One could also point to articles like Zooropa, in which all the songs on the record have their own articles, and some of the latter don't describe their noteworthiness. "Like the 309" is the last song Cash has written. If it would be possible to expand beyond that simple statement, I think it would definitely deserve its own article. Cromag 15:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That was me.  I agree with you, there's no reason why any given song shouldn't have its own page (though many might disagree with that), but in this case the article was just two sentences long, and I couldn't imagine anyone writing more about it.  So I redirected it to the album page.  You're welcome revert it if you want.  Alcuin 15:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bye Bye Baby (Madonna song)

message: Before Andrzbanas continues with his usual genre warring edits, lemme lay it down for him. The song is considered a hip hop track per Teh Backlot reference. Andrz's issue is that why the damn does it say "hip hop kiss-off" instead of plain-jane hip-hop song. Well Andrz, you are not the writer of the article and frankly, your point of view holds no candle when there are other reviews with the hip hop initiation. Want some?
:# the Backlot – You are aware of this anyways
:# Billboard 21 Aug. 92, vol. 105, issue. 34, p. 38 "... accompanying the tour, is her hio hop track "Bye Bye Baby" which her fans in Australia..."
:# Allmusic, this reference does not directly say that it is hip hop, but says that there are hip hop mixes which are not different at all from the album version, ergo, the original is hip hop
:# Lucy O'Brien, p. 256, "Then there is the hip hop track "Bye Bye Baby", where Madonna scorns a distant lover..... "
:# Rooksby talks about the dance electronic genre of the song, however, I did not add this since it was not a majority.

Talk:Secret (Madonna song)

message: According to the liner notes of "GHV2," written by Dan Cadan:
"...'Deeper and Deeper,' from the same album, lowered some of the upturned noses caused by the 'Erotica' single. But they were soon raised again when they discovered that the track was about a miner coming to terms with his homosexuality, 'I can't help falling in love, I fall deeper and deeper the further I go,' he sings as he disappears deep into the dark shaft.
"The first chapter of the 1994 Bedtime Stories album was 'Secret,' a song that tackled the hard-hitting issue of transvestites. Documenting a man's sudden realization that his girlfriend is packing more than she promised as he/she shares his/her secret with him, she sings the crushing prose '...happiness lies in your own hand...' Think about it. Think harder."
"...A little known fact, is that the ethereal track 'Frozen' was originally commissioned by Haagen Dazs for a commercial, but its unearthly qualities were deemed unsuitable for ice-cream promotion."
