Talk:Race and intelligence (interpretations)

message: There is no need for this article. It can all go in to "research" futurebird 06:59, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: On the proposal to merge

message: However, it is possible for editors to act in bad faith and make article spinouts as POV forks. For instance: Editor A tries three times to insert a statement of his POV in an article section called "Criticism of XYZ"; each time the change is reverted by other editors. So he announces that he is spinning off a new article called Criticism of XYZ, and for the initial text of this article, he uses the "Criticism of XYZ" section of the main XYZ article -- with the disputed statement that he could not get accepted by consensus. This is a POV fork; Editor A is trying to get around the fact that his changes have not met consensus by inserting them in a different location.
It duplicates content in the article Race and intelligence research, and I'm concerned these will start divering from each other.

Talk:Barretina

message: Seems to me that this page is somewhat roughly translated out of Spanish, or a closely-related language.  The use of Roman numerals to denote the century, and the term "folkloric dances," although making sense in Spanish (el siglo XIX, danzas folkloricos) these things are somewhat foreign to an Anglophone.messor (talk) 19:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Wine roasted?

message: This article has a contradiction: in one place it shows calçots being served with romesco sauce, but in another place it says calçots are never served with romesco, only with salvitxada. The article about salvitxada has contradictions too; it says that salvitxada is like romesco, except thickened with toast crumbs and a little vinegar added; it also warns that "salvitxada" is not its real name - but the article is called "Salvitxada" anyway. The article about romesco says romesco may be thickened using toast crumbs, and a little vinegar added if desired. It also says romesco is not the same as salsa de calçots or salvitxada, but says absolutely nothing about how it is different.
Maybe there is no such thing as a calçot, no such thing as romesco, or salvitxada, or salsa de calçots, no such thing as a fish either. Maybe everyone in the entire Catalunya region is part of a big plan, to keep the rest of the world confused by showing us mysterious kinds of food. :) Ha ha, of course I'm joking, but I really don't understand the explanations.
Maybe the local people really disagree about the proper sauce and how to make it. If they do, we should just TELL everyone that they disagree, and explain why. TooManyFingers (talk) 00:25, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

message: Who added this has no idea what they are talking about:
: It is considered one of the typical examples that define the Mediterranean diet, extended as a traditional recipe throughout Spain.
Go to Spain, ask for a sandwich with tomato and 3 out of 4 times they will not rub it on the bread (the Catalan way) but just put tomato slices. So, no, it's not a traditional recipe throughout Spain. And if you find it in some places, it's clearly marked as a Catalan or Mallorcan speciality.

Talk:Castle of Púbol

message: I have rewritten the article to reflect the unique relationship between Salvador Dalí and his wife, Gala.  Although the Castle is most well-known for its association with Dalí, it must have its own history prior to his purchase of it for his wife.  Dalí certainly did not build it, and could not even visit without advance written permission from his wife.  It is not clear what modifications to the Castle (if any) were made at her direction.  Can anybody locate further details about the full history of the structure?  Reify-tech (talk) 19:31, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Josep Tarradellas

message: I don't really like the translation of "ja sóc aquí". The "ja" brings with it the idea that it's a moment people have been waiting for for a long time; "already" implies that this happens sooner than expected.
I think a better translation would be something like "I'm back", or "I'm finally back". If there are no objections I'll change it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.131.107.204 (talk) 21:48, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ramon Berenguer III, Count of Barcelona

message: A poor-quality, black-and-whtie photo of a 15th-century miniature doe what for this article, exactly? If we had no other options, and the article were long, I could abide it, since a long article without an image is intimidating (and looks boring) to most readers. This, however, is a short article, barely improved upon since the last major addition of text to the body in 2004, almost ten years ago. The only major addition since then is the infobox. The current lead image is here for the first time, since the one I replaced back in May is no longer in the article at all (although it was much better artistically and was colourful). The image I changed it to, which has now been relegated to half-size at the bottom of the infobox, was of his own signature, showing clearly how the count presented himself in his own official acts. It is contemporary and interesting. The current image is boring and centuries too late to be a likeness of RBIII (no relation to RGIII that we know of). So what is it illustrating? Nothing. Its purpose was mainly to spruce up a family tree. Its decorative, but that's not the main (usual) purpose of images at Wikipedia. We have no image that can claim to show what he looked like or what (near-)contemporaries thought he looked like or should have looked like. But we've got a signature from an era when folks like RBIII were generally illiterate. I've changed the image back, but, being in the spirit of the season, I've left the infobox.

replies: text: I have never made such a silly argument. When I say there is no consensus, I mean just that. Not that there is a consensus against, but that there is no consensus at all.I am quite convinced already that I failed to convince other editors in that case. I am not convinced either that (a) my arguments failed or (b) the discussion at one talk page has established any encyclopedia-wide consensus on infoboxes or lead images. Srnec (talk) 06:00, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hi, coming in via the friendly invite by The Emperor's New Spy, I continue to hold the view I had in the Petronilla discussion, namely that the way I understand WP:LEADIMAGE is that it should depict the subject of the article, even if not contemporary or a likeness as such. The signature is interesting and absolutely should be included in the infobox, where it has it's own field. I do agree with Srnec that the image isn't very fancy, but this article is about a person who lives a thousand years ago. By the way, why not use the picture of the equestrian statue as the main image?  Cheers, --Dailycare (talk) 19:56, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Starkenburg

message: Starkenburg Province, which was created in 1806 at the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, was (as far as I know, from the research I've done) dismantled on June 5, 1945, with the Berlin Declaration announcing the Allied Occupation of Germany. The modern country of Germany was created within a year or so of this, containing the modern state of Hesse. I'm not sure how much longer the subdivision of Erbach remained---supposedly Odenwaldkreise was formed in 1972.
I note that the maps on this page are ancient, dating to early 20th century and before.
Therefore, I was surprised to read, in the bottom section, "Today the Starkenburg Economic Development Agency..." What?! I said. Wait, Starkenburg no longer exists! How does it have an "Agency"? I then went out to Google Search and spent ten minutes trying to look up "Starkenburg Economic Development Agency", "Starkenburg Economic Development Council", or Starkenburg Economic Development anything." The top result was for a woman named Sue Starkenburg in Greater Fargo. Others were for myriad economic development organizations (but none in Starkenburg).
Was the paragraph beginning "Today..." perhaps written in 1940? Why does a page that's supposedly historic have text that says "Today..."? Mrs rockefeller (talk) 03:01, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
