Talk:Officer candidate school

message: I deleted the TRADOC template from this page because while I think that template would be applicable to a page such as Officer Candidates School (U.S. Army), I don't think it's applicable here where general terminological dissemination occurs.  On a more specific page (such as the previous example), I would highly encourage the template's usage.  Maclyn611 03:54, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

message: This page says "The Officer Candidate School of the United States Navy is at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island."
When you follow the link it says "The United States Navy's Officer Candidate School (NAVOCS)" is "currently located at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida"
The Navy Great Lakes Webpage says that the latter is correct.
The Navy is consolidating their OCS's. They left Pensacola in August and, to the best of my knowledge, are only doing classes in Great Lakes.

Talk:Original English-language manga

message: Having read this to find out, I still have no clue. How do you tell an OEL-manga from, say, a graphic novel/comicbook/whatever? How about from a comic book by an author who's familiar with both western and eastern works? Is there a difference between an east-west fusion _comic_ and an east-west fusion _manga_, or not?

replies: text: Drawing style and narrative techniques should be heavily inspired from Japanese tradition. This a widespread phenomenon, and should merit more information outside the English world. South Korea is a case in itself, where I think that most of the comics published has internalized whole drawing styles and narrative structures, to such an extent that they are hard to distinguish at a first glance. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 16:19, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Template talk:Governors general of Canada

message: The existence of this template seems problematic to me.  For many of the older GGs, especially, it seems essentially inherently POV, suggesting that their serve as Governor General of Canada was the most important part of their career.  Lord Lansdowne, for instance, also served as Viceroy of India, Secretary for War, Foreign Secretary, and Tory leader in the House of Lords.  Any of these positions could be considered at least as important as Governor General, and I'd suggest that Viceroy and Foreign Secretary are definitively more important, at least at the time.  But it would be absurd to have template boxes for all of those offices on Lansdowne's page.  But just having one seems to be POV - why are we singling out Lansdowne's service as Governor General, as opposed to other, similar, posts he also held? john k 04:47, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Possible addition to template

message: One or more editors seem to have fallen prey to a tendency towards expanding this template by adding pages with increasingly-tenuous connections  to the actual topic. None of Printing, Publication, or Broadcasting have anything to do with Marketing, but they're all listed in the "Promotional media" group. (I would personally argue that New media and Point of sale are also reaching, but there's at least the semblance of topicality to those. Not so, the first three.)
Similarly, in the "Key concepts" group, Pricing, Retail, and Service (economics) are held up as key concepts in Marketing, something I also find questionable due to those articles' extreme broadness of topic. Might as well throw Money and Property in there as well! (Please no.)
I'mma probably be bold and just yank those three (or five?) articles I mentioned out of the "Promotional media" group. I'll leave the fate of the key-concepts links I mentioned for someone with more topic expertise to decide. But they reek of a pile-on, IMHO. There's no prize for the infobox with the most links.
