message: Wouldn't the COMMONNAME be "the US and Canada"? Lojbanist remove cattle from stage 23:23, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: No. "Northern America" is defined geographically, not politically. So it includes only part of the political US – Alaska and the contiguous US, excluding Hawaii and US territories. It also includes Greenland. In some definitions (biological regions), it includes all or part of Mexico. Look at the map in the article and the one at World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions#Level 1: botanical continents. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:46, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

message: In Central America, the map shows Mexico highlighted in light green but the problem is the CIA (another government entity) disagrees with the U.N. and would consider Mexico in Northern America so my question is are we following the U.N.'s definition of Northern and Central America? If so, is it at least worth mentioning the CIA disagrees with them and considers Mexico to be part of Northern America? LostKlaus (talk) 02:16, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

text: See the many discussions above. There are different definitions of all these terms, and we have to report them. (The WGSRPD definition of "Northern America" is of some importance because of its use in describing and categorizing plant distributions. It's definitely different from the continent called "North America".) Peter coxhead (talk) 14:12, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Chemical Sound

message: The client list in the article is not only uncited, it isn't even close to the client list on the business's web site.. Deleting client list. --John Nagle (talk) 02:20, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the client list is contentious in its current form, I've added a few more sources, but even they do not support the inclusion. Rather than deleting the inclusion, I've placed a citation needed tag, since it's not apparent vandalism or overly negative, giving the editor who included it some time to cite the material. If it remains unsourced, it should be removed, or aligned with existing sources, in a short period of time (reasonably one week). A larger concern for this article involves the subject's own notability! The significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject are not apparent and the article is in peril of deletion if an AfD was opened for discussion. So I'll be looking to include some of these sources as well, and invite others interested to do the same. Thank you for starting this discussion so we can set about correcting the shortfalls and improving this article. 76Strat String da Broke da (talk) 01:44, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Edward Donato

message: The comments below were refactored from the main AFD page in order to aid readability.
*Update: the SP-IP vandalized this AfD. -- Hoary 00:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Uploading pictures, etc.: Your confusion may be relieved by reading the several messages on your Talk Page requesting that you add sources and copyright status to any images you upload. For legal reasons Wikipedia cannot accept images without sources or appropriate permissions/copyright notice. Also, duplicate images are deleted. In a similar vein, the external links you provided do not back up the text, one link has virtually no information at all (in fact, it links to the IMdB page on his film, not him), and the other actually appears to contradict some of the "facts" in the article. Maybe you are adding biographical information based on personal knowledge of E. Donato… if so, this is a no-no called Original Research - any information added to Wikipedia must come from authoritative sources that are independently verifiable. You say that his status as a "well known photographer" and child documentarist can be verified - then, by all means, provide the sources to support that claim. All of this I write in hopes that any future articles you edit/create will not run into the sorts of problems that have arisen here, but the fundamental point for the Edward Donato article is that it doesn't seem possible to establish his notability. Indeed, I love photography, I've worked for a number of years with an important museum collection of photographic works, and I know or have met a number of photographers of varying abilities and renown, some of them genuinely famous or significant and some (like me) enthusiastic hobbyists. I also know some very able professional and amateur photographers, people who may even produce images of the highest quality, but who - for whatever reasons - have never exhibited their work, never been published, have never been mentioned in critical or scholarly works, never been recipients of awards, etc. Or, if they have achieved any of these honours, they may have been exhibited in a local group show, self-published, been reviewed only in the local weekly farm report, etc. All of which is fine, but not the sort of criteria to support an entry in Wikipedia. Finally, I can look at Donato's work - pointedly, only the images that appear on his own website (I can't find any elsewhere) - and judge their quality as I will, but my evaluation means nothing for Wikipedia. It has nothing to do with the quality of his work, only with his notability as a photographer. There are photographers who have articles in Wikipedia whose work - to me - is horrible, but who I have to accept are truly well known, whose work is in important collections, has been exhibited in significant solo shows, been the subject of critical and scholarly articles and publications, etc. That's the fundamental issue here.

Talk:Concertmaster

message: From "Orchestra" section:  (In one instance, Ferdinand David had been concertmaster of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra since Felix Mendelssohn became conductor in 1835. In 1847, Joseph Joachim joined David on the first desk.)
There must have been tens of thousands of concertmasters of orchestras in the past couple of hundred years. How are these two special and worth mentioning here? This is a trivial piece of information that doesn't need highlighting in this article. Omc (talk) 21:32, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I also found this confusing. I'm wondering (as a person with zero knowledge of orchestras) if the significant part is that Joachim "joined" David. Is it unusual for two musicians to share this post? Bookchiq (talk) 21:41, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

message: The 2009 proposal to merge seems stale now, plus I disagree with the proposal.  This article covers all kinds of musical keys.  For woodwinds, each key covers a tone hole, and so that latter article seems apt.  For saxophones there is the article Saxophone tone hole which used to be titled Tone holes (with an "s" at the end).  It would be kind of nutty to merge that saxophone article with this article, but leave Tone hole as a separate article.

replies: text: No reference, and purely anecdotal, but a consultant told a colleague (yeah, it does sound like an urban myth!) that his company wouldn't run RDBMSs as virtual appliances. Personally I've run SVN within VMWare and it runs great, but SVN doesn't have high CPU demands - it tends to be IO-bound - compared to a production RDBMS.  I'd suggest if you really, really need performance you'd want application running on a physical box; if manageability is more important then a virtual box is a good alternative.

message: The article, upon first glance, seems to want to use language that obscures the fact this man has been convicted of kidnapping multiple people and papers over the controversy of his methods. I'm going to avoid any accusatory language like I've seen in previous edits, but I think the fact that he is a convicted kidnapper needs to be in the introduction. That is both notable and confirmed by many reliable sources already in the article. Carlp941 (talk) 16:32, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Carlp941 did not edit the article, but various IPs have continued to attempt to add "convicted kidnapper" (or similar wording) to the short description or to the first line of the lead. I don't think that should be added without a  consensus here that is what the person is known for. Meters (talk) 04:49, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: He is certainly known for being a kidnapper and some reference to that is due in the lead. He was convicted of kidnapping, among other things, in 1980, which is covered in the article.
