Talk:Queer & Trans Alliance

message: i havent done a lot of research but it is my understanding that the donation of a significant library of gay magazines and other cultural history of GLBT in the region was donated to a college or university in bemidji?  moorehead? west central minnesota?  the creation of a library to house these historically significant materials greatly influenced gay culture in the region and the acceptance of gay lifestyles by the population as a whole throughout this region.  i will try to get more specific information if i can find the time, but there should at least be a link to the library on this page.

Talk:Walter Ray Williams Jr.

message: An anonymous user edited this article to say that Williams is the worlds number 1 bowler. I reverted this back as it is disputed with no real evidence - considering he performs in the PBA and not the Weber, Master or AMF. Now, a user has put it back - can this be discussed? Thanks, User:Fjorn
Two comments
1.  Earl Anthony won 43 PBA titles, not 41, so the record was passed later than stated here.
http://www.pba.com/players/hof/playerbio.asp?ID=34
2.  Williams is "arguably" the world's best career bowler, based on the records he holds.  But as with any sport, who is no. 1 is always open to debate.  Remember that on any given Sunday the best can be beaten.
I will change the article to reflect this.  Possibly spurring further ranchor.

thread_title:  Peapod 

message: This chunk of text appears to be taken directly from the GEM website at http://www.gemcar.com/models/:
GEM battery-electric vehicles are classified as low-speed vehicles, or neighborhood electric vehicles[citation needed], and are street legal in nearly[vague] all 50 states on public roads posted at 35 mph (56 km/h) or less[citation needed]. With a top speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), GEM cars have a range of up to 30 miles (48 km) on a charge. They are battery-electric, operate on a 72-volt battery system and plug into a standard 110-volt outlet for recharging, and fully recharge in six to eight hours.

replies: text: Is there a single site somewhere that provides a link to all of the festivals? That'd handle providing the info for those who are interested. -Will Beback 21:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

text: "Spam is Spam"?  I would disagree...spam is unsolicited advertising and I think that if your goal is to eliminate all external links to any site that has adversiting or any commercial focus would eliminate useful external links from WikiPedia.  Links on a page about storytelling festivals that link to a variety of storytelling festivals can hardly be called purely advertising as opposed to informative to someone who is looking for information about storytelling festivals.  Now if they were links to topics entirely unrelated to storytelling on this page, I could see your argument.  In response to your comment about linking to a page that is not exclusively festival related, but is directly related to the city or culture of the region then I would have to argue that your (and maybe I need to include the entire vandalism unit here since you were all mostly in agreement) legalistic and purist approach will only hamper the development of WikiPedia.  I included the link on my hometown page because it's a part of our city/region's culture (after including more information about the festival itself).  Of course, I am not familiar with every festival in every city...but I'm sure that someone from those cities might be more enticed to expand their own city's page to include information about their own culture/fairs/festivals...but not if the overzealous vandalism unit deems relevant links spam.

message: KFJM-FM 89.3 Was already student-operated in the 1970s. David Beach was the station manager in the late 1970s; Richard Towne was the PD.
Useful historical details seem scarce (found nothing at UND's site) but the information on this 2004 Glenn Hauser page (credited to source '(CRU)' Jul 23, 2004) seems to be accurate. Note it reads in part:The University did not build KFJM-FM 89.3 FM until about 1970; in 1995 it received a license for KFJY 90.7 FM, later changing the call letters of 89.3 FM to KUND and moving the KFJM-FM call letters to 90.7 FM.

message: I have begun what shall become a drastic expansion of this article. Right now, I have simply organized a clear lead, moving most of the information that was there under the biography section. I also moved the mention of credits down under discography.. but it doesn't feel good. It will probably end up being cut to a one line entry under his biography section saying he regularly contributed to FiF and their associated bands. I don't want to step on any toes here, so, please, let me know if it's removal would bother you. We could try to work it in somewhere.
If you'd like to get some idea of what I'm planning to do to this article in the next few weeks, feel free to take a peek at Derek Webb (whose concert with Caedmon's Call, oddly enough, is where I first came across Justin McRoberts).

Talk:Mellowdrone

message: This is just a short explanation of why I pretty much gutted this article just now.
The text of this article did not read like an encyclopedia article, much less one written by a layperson. Instead, it seemed to be lifted from an "industry" source.
A quick Google search revealed that the text seemed to originate from the William Morris Agency web site at the following URLs:  and . The second link is a PDF with the full text.
When I discovered this evidently proprietary publicity material, I immediately deleted it.
I also checked out the history, and found that it was placed here by User:Scrot, who has no user page and who has exclusively posted mellowdrone-related material ([]). Maybe Scrot is just an overenthusiastic fan, or maybe s/he is a "guerrilla marketer" trying to pass off PR as a Wikipedia article. I don't know.

Talk:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time enemies

message: Apologies to anonymous user at 169.229.99.156, but do we even need to know how many HP each boss has?  That's mere data, stuff that might be more appropriate for WikiBooks than Wikipedia.  Many of the boss descriptions also sounded too detailed, too "how-to" for an encyclopedaic article.  I'm not sure with what the guidelines for list articles are in the first place, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a strategy guide -- a short description of each boss is okay, but it doesn't need to go much detail about exactly what the boss does, what the player needs to do to defeat it, or how many hits with the sword they'll need to deliver.

Checking the Internet Archive, the last time SMDC had a website was January/February 2012; ever since then the URL flips to Essentia.
