thread_title:  The "History of" section needs links! 

message: It needs to make its mind up whether it is Outline of the arts or Outline of art - which by WP & RL convention, just means the Visual arts. At the moment it is 80% very badly selected & grouped articles on art, 19% ditto on tv & literature, and 1% on the other arts. The page has already been deleted once under its old name for general crapness, & I can see this happening again shortly if there is not massive improvement. Johnbod (talk) 03:25, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Power in international relations/Consensus

message: I'm working in a WikiProject in which reaching consensus is of the essence (WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation), and I would like to learn from this project. How was your consensus reached? — Sebastian 04:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Those ones that are presented here were undisputed facts which were accepted through the presentation of references and through common sense. In cases in the project where things have come under dispute. We have generally had very hectic and tiring discussions. In the end consensus can be reached when there is an immense majority of people supporting one thing. If there is no such majority or a vote is not proper for the discussion, then you can seek compromise or RFC to get consensus. It's basically the policies of Dispute Resolution of Consensus. In general, this project knows that Wikipedia is about the sources that it uses, there was a rigorous discussion on Talk:Great power about the inclusion of Italy as a great power and you may see on that page that numerous other countries were brought into question in recent times. But in general, if a Reliable source supports a fact then it is worth Wikipedia including the fact.  — Nobleeagle  [TALK] [C] 04:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for your quick reply! That answers the biggest part of what I needed to know. One thing I was wondering is why you don't cite the sources (or reference the specific discussions) on this page. I was thinking about doing this for WP:SLR, but it may be overkill, and I'm not sure if it serves to calm down discussions. — Sebastian 04:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  How was consensus reached? 

message: I belief this article is a bit misleading. First of all it is named "consensus" while providing a list of items that are stated to "have not been discussed". And the header of the list is uncontested facts while right beneath that the words "in most cases (?) these facts are obvious" are used. If you browse through the archives and current discussions of Talk:Great power and Talk:Superpower you will find that those "facts" are constantly questioned and challenged. The current superpower article states that the status of the United States and Russia are a matter of debate. While in this list it is presented as fact that the United States is a "superpower", and Russia is a "modern great power". I belief this list doesn't present consensus, or facts, but the opinion of User:Nobleeagle and in part User:João Felipe C.S. I'm not saying I disagree with every single item of the list, but I do strongly disagree with the way they are presented. As User:SebastianHelm also suggested, sources and/or references to the specific discussions should be included - not the opinion of two editors. =Species8473= (talk) 06:57, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Luangwa River

message: I recently made some edits that I wanted to clarify a bit.  My reference for all the edits was the National Geographic Magazine story I cited.  I had previously read a bit about the valley because of the large number of Hippos (hippos are an interest of mine as you might have noticed), but otherwise knew little about it.  So I just added what I learned from National Geographic, which claimed that the heavy flooding was the main reason it was relatively unpopulated and also provided the information I added about dimensions.  But please, I'm no expert so clarify as needed! --JayHenry 03:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kafue River

message: I made a change here because the article in the Dimensions section seemed to imply that the Encyclopdia Britannica made a large error in calculating river length -- a statement likely to confuse readers who do not understand that sampling using different techniques produces different results -- all of which may be correct in their own frame of reference. The Britannica article says that it is the "course" of the river which runs 960 km. It's useful to note that the river has an unusual number of meanders, however saying that a "boat trip" would be 2000 km isn't unambiguous, either. For example, a boat with a shallower keel would have a shorter trip. If what the writer was saying is that a regularly scheduled boat service traverses 2000 km, it would be appropriate to say exactly that. Alpha Ralpha Boulevard 13:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

message: As the disambiguation footer notes, disambiguation pages serve to list "articles associated with the same title". If an article does not exist, an entry should not except under the limited circumstances prescribed here. There are no incoming links to "DJ Guyver". As that guideline notes, "There is no need to brainstorm all occurrences of the page title and create red links to articles that are unlikely ever to be written, or likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics." If this DJ is notable, an article should be created about him, at which point a disambig link would be appropriate. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:29, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The New York Review of Science Fiction

message: This journal was placed in a PROD process for notability. The journal is one of the important academic review SF journals, akin to a New York Review of Books for the science fiction field; and important as are Foundation, Extrapolation, SF-Studies. It should not be deleted, and certainly not on a PROD, which is completely inappropriate. 
The fact that SF scholarship and criticism are significantly under-represented in wikipedia compared to media SF characters (the Pokemon test) does not mean that they are not notable; simply that wikipedia (and the google test) do not pick up academic work as well as they do fan & pop culture stuff. PROD is completely inappropriate, and a Google test -- or even a Lexis/Nexis newsworthiness test -- is not an appropriate criterion on which to evaluate the notability and merits of an academic publication. In fact, academic journals are rarely going to have third-party articles written about them; they are notable because they are the source of important scholarship. This is the sort of problem that WP:PROF is dealing with in biographical articles. As yet, there has been no such proposal for notability of academic journals, because, I believe, people hadn't been deleting these articles and creating this problem. I will work on a proposal that better clarifies the sorts of criteria for notability that would be applicable in the case of an academic journal.  These would include, for instance, (a) citation factor; (b) significant contributions to the scholarly field; (c) frequent publication by noted authors (an important criterion for a review journal, like NYRSF); and so on. 
PS - I think had the PROD editor known more about the field he would have searched for "NYRSF" and found a lot more information about it. Google tests are still completely inappropriate for academic journals but in the SF field they will work better than in most fields. (If you know what you're supposed to be looking for.) --lquilter 04:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. Thanks for all your work here.  PRODing this article is wholly inappropriate.  Maybe I'd better join WikiProject Science Fiction and keep an eye out.  - PKM 17:49, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Culture of the Marquesas Islands

message: I don't think it is appropriate to highlight alleged historic cannibalism in the second sentence of the opening paragraph. Especially since the subject of cannibalism isn't explored any further. Certainly no mention is made of the people of the islands not currently practicing cannibalism. This article - History of the Marquesas - refers to "(largely spurious) reports of cannibalism among the island's inhabitants". This is a sensitive topic and the article addresses it carelessly, perhaps even inaccurately. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 06:51, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Craniosynostosis

message: Craniosynostosis and craniostenosis are not the same thing.  A child can have early fusion of the cranial bones (craniosynostosis) without having stenosis, which is a restriction on the space available for the brain to grow.  Alternatively, craniostenosis can develop for reasons other than craniosynostosis. 
Support: as far as I can tell, the two names are synonymous. I propose the new article be called Craniosynostosis as that name has more articles wikilinked to it. Rosemary Amey 04:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Well if that were true, then we should change it, and not put in 2 genres.  We should always try to use one genre rather than two, especially if the two are almost the same thing.  "Psychedelic folk" is not really a recognized genre (even if someone did create an article for it), and "folk rock" ignores the psychedelic element, which is important.  I believe the current genre is adequate, but if others feel mention of "folk" should be added, my second choice would be to change it to "psychedelic folk", but NOT use two genres. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 09:14, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Akik

message: I've seen it spelled "haqiq," "aqiq," and "aqeeq" as well.
Could someone explain more clearly just where the boundaries of the word "Haqeek/Aqik" lie? Is Carnelian an akik? 
Are the stones (engraved Carnelian?) at 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/imponk/160191781/ 
and 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/imponk/160191780/
considered akik? A commercial site selling akiks at http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Giftcastle5 seems to imply that the term includes banded agate, various colored cryptocrystalline quartzes, Carnelian, etc. What is Yemini akik?I think it is a yellow agate resembling cloudy yellow amber in colour, presumably of Yemeni origins, that I think is also sometimes engraved. Does anyone know more about it?
This class of engraved stones, encountered from Egypt through India, are very beautiful, and deserve a Wikipedia article of their own. I think Oppi Untracht`s Traditional Jewellery of India might be a place to start -as I recall he had some sections on it. There is also a collection in Israel of Middle Eastern engraved gems, a catalogue for which has been published, but the details of the citation for which I don't any longer recall. As to the technique of engraving, I`ve heard stories that it is done with small steel chisels, but I auspect that these may actually be metal stylii with diamond chips set in the tip, probably some sort of multicrystalline diamond type like ballas diamond or carbonado, tough enough to withstand the impact of repeated small blows. Does anyone know? More recent "cheap imitations" are made by sandblasting, hydrofluoric acid etch, and possibly small diamond-encrusted rotating bits (like dentists' drills) used in handpieces, but often tend to lack a feeling of quality eaqual to that of earlier work.
Finally, I think I have heard, correctly or incorrectly, that there is a tradition in Islam that the Prophet wore a an akik (agate)ring set with silver on a particular hand, and that in imitation many pious Muslims today do the same. One often sees such rings in photos of, particularly older, men from the region. Does anyone know the story of this? It seems possibly related to some of the emotional intensity around the term akik in parts of the the Middle East, with political parties and such possibly named after the stone (do I have this right or am I confused through lack of information?)  -- as in the Haqiqi (sp) group in Karachi. 
What this needs is the input of a Middle Eastern jeweller familiar with the material or a museum curator.
