Talk:Gary Lewis (musician)

message: In its original form, a sentence said 
:For his 14th birthday (1960), Gary receievd a set of drums. 4 Years later (1964), he formed a band with 4 friends.
This is nonsense, since his 15th birthday came in '60. While there is no other reason to doubt the general outline of this, none of these dates should be re-added without citing a WP-independent source.--Jerzy•t 20:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drum gift & band formation 

message: Article needs a serious rework, there's a lot of puff in there about Lewis' stage presence and how great the music is, it reads too much like a fan wrote it.  I also notice that apparently the same biography on Jerry Lewis is used as though it is separate references, so there are not nearly so many different sources as it appears.  In general, article needs a lot of cleanup, both for sources, organization, and simple plain grammar.  There's incomplete sentences in a couple of places, and it wouldn't surprise me if some stuff has been lifted from other sources.  I may attempt some of teh repair if no on else gets to it first.

thread_title: POV and organization

message: The info box says July 31, 1945, apparently citing the one footnote source listed from the NYTimes obit of his father, Jerry Lewis. But in the opening line of Gary's article that says "Gary Lewis (born Gary Harold Lee Levitch; July 31, 1945[2][3])", both those footnotes say 1946, as does the online site "What Happened on July 31, 1946" ("Gary Lewis [Levitch], American singer (Gary Lewis & the Playboys) born in Newark, New Jersey"). The same mistake is found in the Wikipedia article on his father, Jerry, which says Gary was born in 1945, although the footnote for that actually says 1946. (This should also solve the puzzle of the talk-section above, "Drum Gift & Band Information", from 2006; since Gary was born in 1946, then it would be his 14th birthday in 1960, not his 15th birthday.) (And yes, I guess someone could call Gary himself at his home in Rush, New York, although I guess that would be against Wikipedia rules.)  71.204.24.132 (talk) 23:03, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Requesting New Field: Former Names 

message: In an edit on The Saint (radio program), someone changed "syndicates" in the infobox to "networks" with the accompanying edit summary "NBC, CBS, and Mutual were networks, not syndicates."
As I see it, the statement in the summary is correct. The problem is that the edit prevented the networks' names from appearing in the infobox. As I read Template:Infobox radio show, "networks" is not a valid parameter; "syndicates" seems to be the best-available parameter for listing networks. I reverted the change and posted an explanation on Talk:The Saint (radio program). 
Does the infobox's structure assume that syndicates and networks are the same? If so, perhaps that could be added to the documentation. If not, could a "networks" parameter be added? Eddie Blick (talk) 03:22, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Autochton

message: After research, I have concluded that this article owes its existence to a typo or misspelling.  The disambiguation page to which I'm pointing contains a better-worded and equally complete definition of the geological meaning, so nothing is lost there.  As to the assertion, "autochon is an early 20th century spelling, seen in Bronislaw Malinowski's Argonauts of the Western Pacific":
* A solecistic spelling does not merit an article.
* Presumably Malinowski was using the anthropological, not the geological term, so the information is irrelevant to what purports to be the article on the geological term.
* This information has been added here very carelessly, so that Malinowski's idiosyncratic spelling for a different meaning is probably not even conveyed here—surely it is not "autochon," and in the extremely unlikely case that it were so, the information would belong at autochon (or more properly, would justify making autochon a redirect—but this is not justified).
* This page was created by a user who also perpetrated allochton, which has been correctly redirected to allochthon since January 2006.
* The Oxford English Dictionary records no variant spellings of "autochthon" or "autochthonous" in all of their usage, from 1646 to the present, in all senses, including geological.
So redirecting is a no-brainer, and there's nothing of value here that needs to be merged elsewhere.  Wareh 20:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Template talk:ARD

message: An anon editor seems determined to reduce the usefulness of the template by reducing the linked articles to the German abbreviations. This is completely useless to English readers, as it explains nothing about what the abbreviations mean. I noted in my edit summary, that if you compare this template to others, across multiple categories (Template:HitchhikerBooks, Template:Doctor Who, Template:Illinois Tollway and Template:Chicagoland expressways), virtually every linked article is either spelled out in full, or summarized with a shorter phrase. For maximum usability and readability, this template should stay close to the way it is. --JohnDBuell 20:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Your rude tone aside, it in no way reduces the usefulness of the template, makes it less ugly, and less intrusive.  Other templates spell some things out in full.  Your proposed layout provides an acronym and spells it out, doing so twice.  Your point about it being useless to English readers is nonsense.  The lightweight style of template, making use of width happily fits with the general style used for navboxes, as you can see.  If you want to put in a fuller name, go ahead (though the length of the full names might be a problem), but I don't see the usefulness in having a big, chunky template replacing the function of the relevant section on the ARD article.  It's big, it's cumbersome, and generally looks bad.  81.104.170.167 21:22, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Panoz DP01

message: "The front wing is now being held below the nose, allowing the underbody aerodynamics to work properly"

replies: text: I changed it, but I'm still wondering where that "safety" bit about the nose came from. Mustang6172 04:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A low nose can get underneath a car in a crash and, in some circumstances, cause the other car to go up and hit the driver's head. That's why a raised nose is safer - just so lnog as its not raised so high that it makes the car go up OVER the other car it htis. I believe the DP-01's nose has been designed with this in mind. I'd edit this into the article, but I'm not sure how to word it right... I think right here I may have only confused people.
I believe it should be ntoed that during the Laguna Seca test, the DP-01 driven by Sebastien Bourdais beat the lap time set by a Toyota Formula One car. I'm not really sure how best to word it, though.
I've removed the comment about the end of the DP-01 being the end of turbocharged engines in open wheel racing. They are under consideration for the new IRL formula in 2010 so its premature to call it the end. There have also been whispers of another series being interested in taking up the DP-01 and the Cosworth turbo, but this information is not yet confirmed and should not be included in the article yet.

Talk:Infinity plus one

message: Isn't Unrelative infinity a repeating number of nines in both directions of the decimal point because 888888...88.99999.. would not be the maxamum number because you can create a larger number which is 999999..99999.99999.....
Also if infinity plus one is equal to infinity then if you subtract infinity on both side of the equation we can see that 1=0 in which we could prove anything.  However infinity plus one is equal to x but if you think about it their is no real number for x thus it is a form of an imaginary number. oo+1=oo, then oo-oo+1=oo-oo,  1=0 which cannot happen however oo+1=(a form of an imaginary number), then oo-oo+1=(a form of an imaginary number)-oo, then 1=1 which works.
but then again what do I know?

There's a mention in this paper (PDF - On unbounded eigenvalues in particle-transport theory), and this one (PDF - Accepting Infinity).

As the previous poster indicates from 1963 to 1966, the regional news was Scene at 6.30.  I think this was then renamed Scene, and then
replaced by Six O One in 1970, and in 1971 this program morphed into Newsday.  Then Granada Reports arrived I think in 1972.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.115.17.235 (talk) 19:35, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
