Talk:Moluccan boobook

message: Should this article not be a set index?  Shyamal (talk) 09:27, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the article shouldn't have a taxobox. I had never heard of a "Set index article" but it seems overkill to expand this article on why these species were once considered conspecific. I think a simple disambiguation page would probably be sufficient. The articles on the individual species obviously need to mention the history and why the Moluccan boobook was split. - Aa77zz (talk) 10:07, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

text: I'd be inclined to redirect it to the Seram boobook and put the information about the species split there. The current article is effectively unreferenced (the old IUCN reference predates the split and the link is dead). Are they now collectively referred to as the Moluccan hawk-owl group? —  Jts1882 | talk  10:57, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Either of the above solutions would be OK with me Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:35, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Not significantly different - except for the taxobox removal. Shyamal (talk) 04:14, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  If the article is to be retained as more than a disambiguation page (set list or otherwise) then I think it should have an appropriate taxobox. It does seem to be recognised as a species complex (see Gwee et al, 2018), so I have made some changes to reflect this and added some references. —  Jts1882 | talk  10:30, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  That is an interesting approach - and would we use a similar approach with genera that have been subsumed, as in Ergaticus...? They are sister species forming a clade within the larger genus - per  Shyamal (talk) 10:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Siemens-Schuckert D.I

message: According to what I have seen, Germans captured some rotary engine propelled Nieuport 11s and not Nieuport 17s as stated here. As far as I know, Nieuport 17 had a radial engine, differently from Siemens-Schuckert D.I and, in any case, they were not the planes Siemens based his development on. Should we mark this issue as citation needed or does anybody have an appropriate reference in order to handle it ? de.wiki seems to suggest it was Nieport 11 the cloning baseline. (:de:Siemens-Schuckert D.I)  --EH101 (talk) 13:44, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Both the 17 and the 11 were rotary engined (as was the D.I). From the appearance it was very obviously the 17 and not the 11 - apart from the engine installation it is a pretty literal copy of the 17. And the 17 as the "cloning baseline" is specifically mentioned in every source I can find (seven or eight of them!!). I really don't think, from any angle, that this is in any kind of doubt. With due respect, if the German article states otherwise it is in the most manifest error imaginable. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 20:32, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Fortunately there are bots around here, on Wikipedia, as well as "flesh & blood" admins, smart and vigilant enough, who keep close eye at edits like mine, so when edit without explanation appears, they act quickly and revert it, without unnecessary considerations.
I'm not sure if my edit was reverted by the former or the latter kind, but I'm 120% certain that inputs like this: "According to a Chinese government website aimed at investors", around which entire article revolves, looks rather suspicious in any encyclopedia.--Santasa99 (talk) 17:21, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Coat of arms of Copenhagen

message: Where is it? -- Perhelion (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 18:52, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Danish heraldic practice differs from British practice, as heraldic arms were only infrequently blazoned (though this practice is gaining ground, inspired by the British practice). Danish practice was to issue an official drawing, which was henceforth to be copied. It is possible that a blazon may have been issued in 1661, but I've never seen any Danish books mention it or quote it. Since the Greater Coat of Arms of Copenhagen is essentially a modification of the city's previous sigil, it is likely that it was not deemed necessary to issue a formal blazon. When the coat of arms of the Danish monarch was modified in 1819, the order simply contained an official drawing of the new arms, with an instruction to officials to cease using the old arms, and a short description of the main changes and king Frederick VI's reasons for the change. When the royal arms was amended in 1944 and 1972, the official circular only described the changes, it didn't supply a blazon. Valentinian T / C 20:36, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There was a typo in the post above. The royal arms was amended in 1948 and 1972, not in 1944. Valentinian T / C 12:19, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Brussels International Festival of Eroticism

message: This article was proposed for speedy deletion under the following criteria:
:Fails the GNG, no indication subject satisfies any SNG. No reliable sourcing, just unsourced, vague claims of significance. GNews/GBooks searches for names in all listed languages plus the award name produce fewer than a half dozen hits, all trivial/spurious, none verifying any of the claims of significance.
I believe this to be a major award and event for the European adult film industry and hence is significant on this basis. I will point out that Wikipedia has numerous articles about non-adult film festivals, some of them quite small. Note :Category:Film_festivals_in_the_United_States.
If the editor who tagged this still feels that this should be deleted, I ask them to take it to AfD rather than Speedy Deletion.
A merger into an article on "Adult film awards" or "Adult industry film awards" would also be an acceptable alternative to deletion. Iamcuriousblue (talk) 16:52, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I just changed one "Graff" to "Graaf" thinking it was a typo.  Now I see that it's spelled "Graff" throughout the article.  Someone more knowledgeable on the subject should make a decision on consistent spelling of the name. Iglew (talk) 22:17, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: He was Dutch (Graaf) but in the service of the French (Graff). Further complicating the matter is his mixed-race ancestry which in Spanish might have been described as El Griffe. It's likely his name wasn't written down all that much so when it was, the differing styles of each language rendered it differently. All should probably be changed to Graaf to suit the title given it is probably "more right" than the other. St★lwart111 06:54, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
