Talk:Albion Park, New South Wales

message: I think that Albion Park was established before the railway, but the "excessive noise of the passing trains" is a funny line.--Grahamec 06:35, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think so. The article Wollongong, New South Wales says that Wollongong is the metropolitan area stretching from Helensburgh to Geroa. So City of Wollongong and City of Shellharbour are both part of Wollongong, New South Wales. Confusing, huh? It makes more sense when you think that Penrith is part of Sydney but not part of the City of Sydney. - Borofkin (talk) 06:00, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The difference is the common usage, which is being deliberately avoided here.  People mean Helensburgh to Yallah when they say Wollongong, if they mean the Helensburgh to Gerroa, they make a point of saying the Wollongong Metropolitan area, or Greater Wollongong, or some such.   --Inas66 (talk) 07:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Symbol 

message: The Culture and gender roles section contains the following passage:
:Because of their intimate knowledge of plant life, most anthropologists argue that it was women who led the Neolithic Revolution and became history's first pioneers of agriculture.
Is this true? Not whether women's role in the neolithic revolution is what it says (we are not here to arbitrate truth or falsehood about reality), but that most anthropologists claim this? I have read pitifully little about this fascinating subject—should be easy enough to verify, if true. 
Also, the second paragraph of that section is terrible.
:In more recent history, the gender roles of women have changed greatly. 
This seems to mean 20th century Western history and chronicles the change from domestic tasks to paid employment. But then it goes on,
:Eventually, restricting women from wage labor came to be a mark of wealth and prestige in a family, while the presence of working women came to mark a household as being lower-class.
What time period is this supposed to be about? And what culture, for that matter?  Arbor 10:57, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

message: The following sentence was at the end of the Etymology section:
The painting of Venus, while having an impressive name, is only of the ideal woman of the Victorian era, incorporating such aspects as being hairless except for her head, having pale skin, and having a fragile look about her.
I have moved it here because it seemed odd for several reasons:  First, it is not clear what painting it refers to -- Bouguereau's Birth of Venus?  Second, it has little connection with the etymology of "woman" or "Venus".  Third, it is somewhat POV.  --Allen 15:40, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Levi's

message: This is questionable. Levis use the same style numbers to relate to different styles in different places. Also, the same numbers have been used over the years in the same place for different styles. For example, the current UK 525's are womens bootleg jeans. I have a pair of 1970's UK 525's which are mens flares with 28 inch bottoms.
I've deleted the listing of current style numbers. Anyone who wants this information can go to Levi's website.Librarylefty 10:43, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: listing style numbers. 

message: It ought to be made clear that while Levi's are routinely made for the home market in a cut and sizing scheme which could be described as generous (i.e., human-sized); those made for the foreign market (e.g., Europe) seem to be manufactured in accord with a philosophy that people with a waist size of 44 inches deserve only death, and that swift.
There are, it seems, only thin people in the rest of the world. This also applies to European tourist traps in continental USA, in which all the clothing stores (the very reason most larger Europeans go abroad in the first place) are helpfully recalibrated to suit people with advanced malnutrition.

message: Contrary to an advertising campaign suggesting that Levi Strauss sold his first jeans to gold miners in the California Gold Rush, where he arrived in 1853, manufacture of denim overalls only began in the 1870s.
I read before that Strauss did sell jeans, but made out of other materials, such as canvas, to miners.  Later he switched to denim.  So I wonder if the above excerpt is due to a misunderstanding of an editor.  --C S (Talk) 16:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Holden Astra

message: Astra Classic was not replaced by the Viva. The new shape is still called an Astra, so therefore the Astra has never been replaced.
The Viva's are rebadged Daewoos, however, in a slightly smaller class, just above the (also rebadged Daewoo) Barina.
The Viva is Holden's effort to capture the sub-AU$20,000 market in Australia, one that Toyota Corolla has a firm hold on and hence the advertising campaign pushing Viva, not Astra.  Prior to the release of the Astra AH in 2004, the Astra range started at around the $18K mark.  Today (2006) the Astra AH starts around the $22K mark, while the Viva starts around the 18K mark.203.206.50.166 12:23, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Rolling pin

message: "They are frequently employed in cartoons as an instrument for inflicting cranial injury."
Should this really be at the top of the article?  I'd like to make this my first Wikipedia edit, and am working on an expansion of this page.  I'd like to include more information on the different types of rolling pins (including French tapered, decorative, hardtack, grooved, pasta, and mini-pins), different uses (crushing nuts and crackers, flattening cuts of meat), and maybe even some historical information.  There are accounts of Pennsylvania Dutch men giving rolling pins as courting gifts—I'm looking for a verifiable source.  Glass rolling pins are also treated as collectibles by some.  Perhaps the note about cartoon violence could be put with those notes?
Some guidance from those with more Wikipedia experience would be appreciated.  Although there are some things that I regard as "established knowledge", such as the benefits of certain types of pins for certain tasks (marble and stone pins, which can be chilled, are better for more delicate doughs that become difficult to work with when warm), I'm not sure if notes to that effect would be considered in keeping with NPOV.

text: The popular culture section should be reserved for the stereotypes and how things are perceived. Try to keep that one as brief as possible (good luck, it's usually the section where everybody keeps adding their favorite cartoon references until someone gets fed up and moves them to a list article :) The 'real' historical uses deserve their own History section. Start with expanding the lead section, until there's enough content to split off Uses or Materials sections (or similar). You may want to take a look at Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles, but other than that, just start editing and see how it develops. Later rearrangements are easy enough.

message: I think that the first few lines of the film description should be changed.  The term "gay-themed" isn't exactly necessary. This is a love story that has a general application to everyone, and just because it has gay characters who fall in love doesn't mean that it is somehow so fundamentally different from all other romance movies that it needs to be segregated into another category.
Also, the source of the awards statement came from the Big Eden movie site and from the movie poster itself.  At the time of release, it was the most awarded movie of all time from gay and lesbian film festivals.
