Talk:Major's Hill Park

message: Galleries of random pretty pictures of the subject are discouraged by WP:IUP and ought to be moved to the Commons.  The current gallery wasn't cohesive at all, and was more focused on the buildings that surround the park rather than Major's Hill itself. I've revamped the gallery, so that it has encyclopedic content in keeping with the image use policies. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:28, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Gloucester, Ontario

message: I think Gloucester Township, Ontario should be merged to this article. The Cake 2 (talk) 08:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Opposed: Gloucester township was a large area which extended over much of the east bank of the Rideau River. Many areas (Billings Bridge, etc) were distant from what in the 1980's became the town of Gloucester. Furthermore, Gloucester township existed for a much longer time than the town of Gloucester (20yrs). Denis (talk) 21:17, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

text: In reply to the arguments presented by the following reviewer (184.145.42.19) in support of the merger, I would note first that the overlap does not make irrelevance: there are entries for historical townships, such as York, or Waterloo. Yet there is tremendous historical overlap between the townships they discuss, and the towns that grew from them. Second, because the article in its present form does not sufficiently distinguish the township and municipality in the eyes of the reviewer, does not make the subject any less relevant, nor does it diminish the need to maintain separate entries. Rather, it argues in favour of expanding the respective articles. Denis (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 20:43, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Support: The articles themselves have too much overlap to ignore. It would be relatively easy to make maps showing the progression of Gloucester's boundaries as parts of it were hived off to Ottawa. There's no reason what Denis delineates couldn't be explained satisfactorily in the merged article, and frankly, much of it already is (e.g. list of reeves of the former township).184.145.42.19 (talk) 23:53, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Support: Content of both pages would be assisted by the merge and it would remove considerable duplication. The one reference on the township articles seems to cover the naming of the township, which would therefore also apply to the naming of the suburb. Klbrain (talk) 18:23, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

message: This article has 'area' naming until it was changed without discussion. Area is the most well know name for them, it's the only name I heard since I was born. I found 3 official sites that use the name of 'area': Kuwait National News Agency, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Electricity and Water. Also, some websites like Talabat (ranked 9130 on alexa) use 'area'. also, I'll take some definitions from Oxford dictionary:
*Area: "A region or part of a town, a country, or the world"
*District: "An area of a country or city, especially one characterized by a particular feature or activity"
*Region (Used by [paci.gov.kw PACI]: "An area, especially part of a country or the world having definable characteristics but not always fixed boundaries"

Talk:Ai no Dai 6 Kan

message: Edited to reduce information not needed about the album.
Perhaps put this ionformation in individual artist pages.
To make things easier here is the deleted text to help re-insert somewhere it would be more helpful:
The album was released at a pivotal and transitional time for the band, as upon its release in December of 2004, it was already known that founding member Kaori Iida and another longtime member, Rika Ishikawa, would be leaving the group within three months of each other -- Iida to embark on a solo career and Ishikawa to concentrate on her new trio Viyuden.
Almost four months after the album's release, veteran member Mari Yaguchi, who had taken over Iida's leadership position in the band, suddenly resigned from the group after being photographed with a male aquaintance outside her home, feeling that she could not be an adult and still be part of the band. Ai No Dai 6 Kan would also end up being Yaguchi's last album with the group; Fortunately for fans, she will continue in music under the Hello! Project banner that houses Morning Musume and its many offshoots.
Two other popular long-time members of the band, Ai Kago and Nozomi Tsuji, had left the band earlier in the year to devote themselves to their duo W (Double You), but do appear (erroneously uncredited) on two songs released earlier in the year as singles.
:I would hardly call this information pointless.  It is there to set up the time in Morning Musume's history and is indeed directly related to the album and the making thereof.  Cjmarsicano 22:06, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I can agree with putting a lot of the information back in, but the information about Yaguchi leaving the group suddenly has nothing to do with the album in particular (because she left months after its released). I agree it should be noted that it is her final album though. And anyway, the stuff about her reason for leaving is covered in the groups page already.Sploggers 08:04, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Tenebrism

message: So what's up with the undos? Is this another one of those pages on Wikipedia that someone has chosen to "own" and will not accept any changes to their deathless prose? "Violent" contrasts in dark and light? Really? How many people have died from Chiaroscuro? I'm not sure I know what the candle was named,  Gerrit van Honthorst, or Rembrandt... your reference is not clear. How did Caravaggio keep these later painters "under his Influence?" Hypnotism? Or were they merely influenced by his work? Frankly this is a serious problem with Wikipedia: lousy writers who can't accept changes to their work and who sit waiting ever ready to pounce and undo anything that interferes with their undying legacy. Even when they are clearly wrong.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevegray (talk • contribs) 22:27, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:People's Democracy (Ireland)

message: Calling Farrell a "cheerleader" or Bernadette Devlin an out-and-out INLA supporter is not really accurate. Devlin helped found the IRSP but left over the issue of militarism and notion that the INLA would be the Marxist version of the Provos.
This section of the article :
"When Sinn Féin ended their boycott and gained mass support among the nationalist community, People's Democracy entered a political crisis. A number of their activists, who had initially opposed Doherty's position such as trade union official Ann Speed, joined Sinn Féin in 1982. The minority who continued to oppose this view maintained People's Democracy as a small propaganda group."
has the dates the dates and numbers wrong, and misspells the trade union official's name slightly - it is Anne Speed (never Ann).
Here is a suggested amendment :
"When Sinn Féin ended their boycott and gained mass support among the nationalist community, People's Democracy entered a political crisis. From 1982 a number of activists left PD and joined Sinn Féin. At a PD 1986 national conference a tendency including Anne Speed proposed the dissolution of the group, and that the members all join SF as individuals. This position was defeated by 19 votes to 5. A few weeks later the minority of 5 resigned from PD and joined SF.  The majority who continued to oppose this view maintained People's Democracy as a small propaganda group."
This article is completely lopsided as PD's significance was almost entirely in the period 1968-71. I have added and corrected a number of facts that are unchallengeable, as well as provided some explanation as to what made the Burntollet events - none were there previously in a piece that was to say the least partial. I would rather my points remained unless 'wrong' rather than so much of the article have to be removed as unreferenced assertion. Who were the quitter Maoists?

Talk:2007 Rugby World Cup – Asia qualification

message: This was a difficult page to write! finding all the results was amazingly hard - e.g. the Hong Kong v Korea result was not to be found anywhere! I eventually found the Hong Kong Rugby Update and searched through till I found the right date.. you would think all this stuff would be done by the IRB but no.. at least not in a timely fashion. Seems fixtures for 2006 have not been set in most cases either.. 
I think this qualification process is flawed - Arabian Gulf beat China, but they end up with a harder run to the finals - to qualify they have to beat either Japan or Korea, who finished 1st and 2nd in Div 1. China only have to beat Hong Kong, who finished 3rd in Div 1 - assuming that Sri Lanka will be easybeats. If it had been up to me I would have thrown the Arabian Gulf/China match (maybe China did??). 
Either way I doubt either team will challenge for the final two spots, but you never know...
Incidentally, since Arabian Gulf (AG) isn't a country I have used the flag of the League of Arab States (LAS) - not entirely accurate but the team doesn't have a flag on their website, and I figured it was more accurate than using the UAE flag (the team's office is in Dubai). On the AGRU site it states 'Rugby is played ... in the Gulf Cooperation Council [GCC] member countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates [UAE] while we have associate members in Cairo [Egypt], Beirut [Lebanon] and Jordan'. The GCC doesn't seem to have a flag either. The LAS members, according to wikipedia, are: Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Kuwait, Algeria, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Mauritania, Somalia, Palestine, Djibouti, Comoros, Eritrea.
So not entirely accurate, open to suggestions...
Finally, the IRB summary of RWC Qualifying 2005 suggests that the Round 2 groups will play in November - however the RWC 2007 Qualifying process page lists it as March - May with Round 3 in Nov, so assume the latter is correct, at least till dates are set.

replies: text: The standard we should use is the one of the GSI (Geographical Survey Institute), which is the link at the bottom of the page. This is the official standard in Japan. The Livedoor map is an online map, so my guess is that they substituted more readily available symbols from common character sets. By the way, the symbol for a forestry station is correctly described as the seal script version of the kanji for tree, 木, rather than the Cyrillic letter.  I have a GSI pamphlet somewhere which explains it. --DannyWilde 08:30, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I believe the problem is that the symbols are being taken from more than one font, according to where the browser can find them; different fonts contain differently sized characters.
