message: I cleaned up this page today - I removed un refed parts and had to remove the character table due to the fact that the character names were copyrighted. Please stop referring it as Experimental Penguins - we have no proof about this.--Vinni3 (talk) 07:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Major Cleanup

message: This page on "Penguin Chat" should not be deleted because:
A) The Club Penguin page refers to it several times as the forerunner of Club Penguin.
B) Time should be allowed for more refs to be found.
C) It is still in the middle of a major revamping.
If you require more reasons, I'll be happy to state them. --Vinni3 (talk) 07:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Why this page should NOT be deleted

message: I have removed the note that this chat system is a fake as it is totally incorrect. It like all of the other penguin systems was developed by Lance Priebe and is based on experimental penguins.Papamantra (talk) 20:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Fake

message: I just tidied up and generally corrected various sections of this page, removed yet more references to experimental penguins, added a couple of references and made an edit to the content of the 'Rooms' table. I also removed the characters table completely, and replaced it with a reference to the official penguin list. 
Hopefully THAT will solve any outstanding problems!

I'm sorry to be bothering you with this but could you please explain why this synopsis is a problem?

replies: text: The article fails to assert the notability of the work. In addition, the tone is that of a blurb or advertisement, rather than an explanation of why the work is notable enough to deserve an article in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a publisher's catalog. If the work is notable (not synonymous with "reviewed in :The Times"), someone without a conflict of interest should be writing about it.--Orange Mike 17:04, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:West Lancashire Light Railway

message: I'm writing an article about the Hunslet Alice Class in the German Wikipedia, and Jonathan is about the only one of the 13 locomotives which seems to have disappeared. It is mentioned on the website of West Lancashire Light Railway and there is a picture on the start page, but Jonathan isn't contained in the loco list, and it isn't even mentioned in this Wikipedia article. Then there is this strange picture of a 2003 event, but taken in October 2007. If the latter is correct, the loco at least existed until some months ago...
I couldn't find out anything more with Google. Does anybody know, where Jonathan is and in which condition? --FritzG (talk) 00:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Frogs Eat Butterflies. Snakes Eat Frogs. Hogs Eat Snakes. Men Eat Hogs

message: I may be mistaken, but I don't think this page qualifies as "merely a copy of the source text". It provides commentary that, I think, offers useful points of entry into the poem for students of Stevens: some interpretive ideas, some history relating to the main Harmonium essay, some comparison to other poems. I will add a stub flag to encourage people to expand the commentary, but even as it stands its `commentary plus poem' strikes me as not `mere copy'. Correct me if I'm wrong.

message: I'm working on this article. I find that writing and dealing with the reference formats etc at the same time is a bit too complex. But I will slowly clean things up to conform with Wikipedia standards. Feel free to do some clean-up of your own if you wish. My interest is in content, although I know it's important to use standard formats and approaches. I have to sort out the links for a list, such as the early practitioners. Most have web pages, external to Wikipedia. I don't know whether to include the pages or not. I'll keep looking for examples. Threadbear 04:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Verne Equinox has done a nice job creating this article.  I made a few edits of fact.  I want to call attention to the fact that I work at Tea Forté.  This is certainly driving my motivation for participation, but I tried to be as faithful as possible to the enyclopedic mission of Wikipedia.  For instance, I doubt that in 2007 Peter Hewitt would endorse the way that the Boston Business Journal quoted him, but I could not find a better source for evidencing the valid point that Tea Forte is unapologetically a premium price brand.--Andymwolf 17:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lee Daniel Crocker

message: I probably can't get rid of the "Crocker's Rules" thing, so I won't delete it, but I'd like to set the record straight about its origin and use.  I didn't create the term, Eliezer Yudkowski did.  We were participants on the Extropian mailing list (this predates Wikipedia), and I was often (wrongly, in my opinion) perceived as rude by some there, because I was quite vocal and straightforward.  I made a post saying that sometimes politeness gets in the way of simple, honest discussion, and that I personally considered being capable of taking offense a weakness of character.  Postel's rule applies to human communications no less than network communications: one should be conservative in what you produce and liberal in what you accept.  If some properly formatted, meaningful communication causes your server to fail (i.e. "taking offense"), that's your own fault.  Eli thought that should be enshrined as a "rule", so he did.  I'm not entirely opposed to the idea, but I would have made it more quotable.  If someone wants a nice soundbite to list with other eponymous rules like Postels, I offer this: "Tolerance is an obligation of listeners, not speakers."  --LDC (talk) 00:07, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: References

message: This article was marked for possible deletion due to lack of notability. I would argue that it is indeed notable for the following reasons:
# There are lots of good quality articles that refer to the software. Using Google Scholar you can find many articles depending on how you word the search ("UTEXAS" "UTEXAS4" "slope stability" software). Unfortunately "utexas" is also part of the University of Texas domain (www.utexas.edu) and email addresses (someone@mail.utexas.edu) so these hits show up in results making it harder to find articles about the UTEXAS software (why did he name his slope stability software "UTEXAS" ???).
# The software (among others) is used by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, leaders in dam and levee construction.
# The software was used to analyze I-wall failures in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina (see references).
# The software is still being used and distributed.
# There is an educational version (UTEXASED4) that is available at a great discount to universities. This is used in at least two locations (University of Texas and BYU) and perhaps others.

message: This article has surely something wrong: it's impossible, infact, that in 1911 the stadium had been called "del partito nazionale fascista" since at that time the PNF didn't exist yet.
I didn't find many informations about it on the web, but the italian page of wikipedia seems correct and is much more detailed than this (nothing strange about this). 
Maybe a simple translation could be a good solution.
::That's right.  It had to have another name 1911–1921, at least, since the National Fascist Party wasn't even formed under that name until 1921.  It also must have been called something different toward the end of its existence, as there was no National Fascist Party at all, at least under that name, post-1943 and the stadium continued to stand into the 1950s.  2600:1004:B101:FDDB:D901:6751:7DA8:570F (talk) 03:51, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
