Talk:Pop-punk

message: Reading the article it only showcases Blink-182 being just another band that got mainstream, while not refering to them as being responsible for its huge influence in developing the subgenre, that it's often overshadowed by critic darlings Green Day. I made changes that I considered "major" in the summary, putting Green Day (along w/ Rancid and Offspring) in prompting punk rock (not pop punk) to mainstream success, while pointing blink as the band that made pop punk mainstream as a whole in late 90s, because of their glossy production   made the band a household name in the subgenre, that propelled them to a more radio-friendly sound than their contemporaries.

thread_title:  Blink's huge representation in pop punk 

message: Hello, I think it's worth mentioning there has been a revival of sorts over the last couple of years, with Blink-182's new album 'Nine' to the reunion of MCR, and the return of guitars in many pop radio settings (see Demi Lovato's 'emo' release of one of her songs recently). I do not believe who ever keeps deleting the title 'revival' that I have added has reason to. There certainly is something going on and I even included news stories pondering it  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:3008:202:AA00:35E6:396:B1D7:5301 (talk) 22:05, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revival in 2018-20 

message: Please stop restoring the horribly sourced version of the "characteristics" section. Most of the claims are not supported by the sources. It's unarguably preferable to present the sources' opinions on pop punk individually than to bundle them together and pretend that they're each describing the same concept (they're not!). ili (talk) 01:06, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  WP:SYNTH in old characteristics section 

message: The criticism section seems to be something someone added because they personally don’t like pop punk.  Articles about similar genres don’t have criticism sections, and pop punk has been popular for years (in the 2000’s as well as the last 3 or so years) so I don’t feel it’s warranted because there clearly isn’t a consensus that pop punk is bad music.

Talk:Ing

message: The list of countries ING has offices in seems to be largely incomplete. India is missing (see the previous comment), as well as the Czech Republic (ING's office is right across the street from me); no doubt there are plenty of other countries where ING has an office of some sort. I would suggest to delete the list and replace it with something generic such as "ING has offices in n countries" or, more poetically "ING has offices on five continents." --Netvor » user | talk | mail | work » 10:52, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Is it the current style on disambiguation pages to say "anthroponyms" instead of "People" and "toponyms" instead of places, or did a editor feel like showing off?  Which would more readers of Wikipedia understand?  SlowJog (talk) 15:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Style? 

message: Based on some limited correpondence, Ing. as a personal title such as Dr. or Prof. seem to apply more generally than the "doctor of engineering" described. For example, it seems to be quite common in Italy and Spanish-speaking countries even when refering to the holder of a bachelors/technical degree, and not just those with a masters or doctorate degree.
Is anyone familiar enough to comment further?

Talk:South African statutes and other legislation

message: i saw a post from you about this article in the New Contributors Help board (or whatever it's called here) and i took a look at the site because i was intrigued by the topic, I had been reading the newbie help threads and wanted to see an example, and because i thought maybe i could help (though i'm only a couple of days old at this even now).
given what you said the admin advisors said about the article and what Lost said in the help line in response to you, i was not surprised by what i saw when i got to the article.  it really pretty much is just a list (though a very important one!), with no text helping to describe the items or why they are important.  that said, i did try to help.
as for content, i went by what i know of policy in the United States.  legislation affects other legislation, it mandates how various aspects of federal policy play out in people's lives, etc.  i think you will have a nice article if you can add to each Act what it changes in South Africa (what it makes possible, what it prohibits, what it purports to change in the way federal and/or state governments and/or citizens will have to operate because of its passage) and maybe something about what prompted the legislative statute.  i do believe this would address the concerns that have been raised regarding your article, though they may still have issue with verifiability.
personally, i think it would also seem a little more professional if you didn't list for each Act both its year and its number, twice!  i was going to edit that myself but decided that maybe they refer to their laws in such a manner.
finally, i must say that i still don't know how you figured out how to line your columns up, good job!  and i cannot at all tell you why the formatting that i finally ended up with worked, but happily, it seems to.
also, you'll notice that i created a link to South African Constitution, which is already an article.
good luck!  WeaselADAPT 11:58, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Virginia Bluebell

message: USES?
I thought your article was very well written and put together.  The only thing that I can think of to expand on or add is maybe explaining what Pulmonary Disease is and how the plant helps to cure it.  What is the chemical make-up that is in this plant that works to overcome that specific disease?  Has research been done on it.  A whole new section could be attributed to the medical uses of the Virginia Bluebell.
Confusion?
In looking for information on your topic I came across a plant called 'cowslip.'  You mentioned that another name for the Virginia Bluebell was also Virginia cowslip.  Are these two plants related in any way?  Are they the same plant?
-ksmithson
A.) Pulmonary Disease Information: After more research I was unable to find a reliable source about the medicinal use of the plant. The inclusion of it on the original article was from what I felt was a reliable source; however, I can find no further information to back it up and therefore I will adjust my article to these findings. 
B.) I do not know that I would want to describe Pulmonary Disease itself for the article is more about the plant itself. 
C.) Cowslip: Oftentimes, I have noticed that the use of plant's common names vary through region. The common names that I had chosen to indicate were from a number of different sources titling the Bluebell with such names. I will hope to better clarify this in my revision, but I wlll add here that there is another plant that goes by Lungwort Cowslip and therefore research into any plant species should be done through the scientific name alone.

Talk:Retainer (orthodontics)

message: Paragraph 5 looks rather like an advert for a particular retainer replacement system!
Was added by 19:56, 18 January 2008 68.222.59.33
A previous similar paragraph was removed by 05:40, 6 May 2007 71.98.7.107
I think it should be removed.
Wouldn't less surface area inside the mouth lead to extra saliva, as less saliva would be needed to cover the area, but the mouth would still produce the same amount, causing an excess? I think a retainer reduces surface area anyway. 71.225.68.105 01:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It increases it as there is both the upper surface of the retainer and the roof of the mouth. Saliva tends to get trapped between these two surfaces away from the rest of the mouth. It also changes the airflow in the mouth. This can lead to increased air velocity during inhalation, which speeds up the loss of moisture in the mouth. Note that this is all just personal experience, so it shouldn't be added to the article.—WAvegetarian•CONTRIBUTIONSTALK• EMAIL• 04:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  i have a very painful retainer on right now 

message: Who is Dylan Hawley, and where did this information come from? 
A Google search for ' "Dylan Hawley" retainer ' yields 3 results: this article, one from a library copying this article, and one where "retainer" is used in the legal sense.
A Google search for ' "Dylan Hawley" Ontario ' yields 1 result besides this article: a Classmates.com page for a man in Deep River, Ontario, who graduated in 2002. It is very unlikely that it is the same person, as he has only been out of high school for 6 years—not long enough to be a dentist (not even with any fast-tracking/acceleration), and certainly not long enough to be a specialist! 
I'm adding a "citation added" tag solely because I did find a Dylan Hawley in Ontario; otherwise, I would have removed this completely.

thread_title: Opinions of those in the Donner Party

message: Fairhead in The Captain and "the Cannibal" (2015) writes: "Selim Woodworth and Tom Jacobs, though, were more than just friends. As their lives unfolded it became apparent that these two were men who loved men—in particular, each other, in an attachment that would last until death." (p. 164) Until other historians comment I don't think we can rely on Fairhead as a single source for such a characterization: his evidence is sketchy.
In brief: the pair ran away together in 1827 at age 12 and got 100 miles before being hauled back by their families. They spent 22 months together on a trading expedition in 1834-6. Back in NY they collaborated (or Jacobs just used Woodworth's notes) on a report of that journey. They corresponded a bit through the years. Fairhead provides some context: At some point Woodworth's parents entertained Fitz-Greene Halleck, a poet whose work explored homosexual themes, but we don't know when or how often, what they thought of him, or what their son made of him, if anything. Jacobs, according to a news story after he died in 1889, had traveled in Russia in 1856-7 with Bayard Taylor, who in 1870 published a novel based on a male-male relationship, Joseph and His Friend. The same news stories speak of Tom's wife dying two years earlier, but Fairhead says that Tom "may have" married. Fairhead also quotes a source that in 1856 ascribes possible effeminacy to Woodworth (p. 162), but trims the quote so the reader doesn't get the last words that say that in Selim as a military officer "strength and courage came in all the glorious perfections of developed manhood". And there's one not-very-dramatic moment when Selim returns to NY after having been reported dead: "we grasped hands and eyed each other". (p 276) Fairhead when describing this reunion says the two had "shed tears" when they last separated, but his doesn't source that detail and I'm not sure how much can be made of it. He has a way of telling us what must have happened, what one must have realized, etc. There's just a touch of the romance novelist at times.
Perhaps that suffices to demonstrate how little we know. An interesting pair, to be sure, close friends until their careers take them in different directions and they spend most of their lives far apart. Really not much to go on, I don't think. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 19:52, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

message: If anyone who knows about these things wants to add to the article on the subject of his criticisms of the Iranian political system, there's an interesting article by Timothy Garton Ash here. About a third to a half of the way down he says:
:A few years ago, Kadivar took the bold step of arguing that the Guardianship of the Jurist [velayat-e faqih] has no sound basis in the Koran or mainstream Islamic thought, and is incompatible with the essence of a true republic. He also questioned the Islamic rectitude of condemning people (e.g., Salman Rushdie) to death in their absence, and suggested in a newspaper interview that today's Iran reproduces characteristics of the Shah's monarchic rule: "People made the revolution so that they could make decisions, not so that decisions would be made for them." He paid for his intellectual honesty with eighteen months in prison.
