message: According to Polish Wiki article, in 1982 SPI published a game 'Star trader' (economic space opera board game). Under the Polish name 'Gwiezdny Kupiec' it became a cult classic in Poland. I cannot find such a game listed on the List of SPI games. Is the name wrong? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  19:50, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a notice at the bottom of the list, stating it is incomplete. Which is something of an understatement. SPI produced an incredible number of games in a decade. It shows up at the Compendium under that title, so I've added it. --Rindis (talk) 20:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Naming problem? 

message: Reading the section on TSR acquiring SPI I see no reliable sources (usenet postsusenet message reposted on grognard.com and retracted articleswebcitation copy from 2008-10-04 of www.wizards.com/dnd/DnDArchives_History.asp are not generally reliable sources) and the story here disagrees sharply with both the timeline and the story told by TSR. Notably the timeline on when TSR acquired SPI's copyrights and other IP, and the timeline on when the SPI employees left for greener pstures, differ by a full year. The story's details could be a "he said, she said" problem (both sources are primary and both have dogs in this fight as they say) but the timeline is definitely off since TSR's story of these events was published in the August 1982 issue of Dragon Magazine,excerpt of the Dragon editorial See the section titled "SPI - Post-TSR Buyout". yet the story told here says that TSR did not acquire the copyrights until some time 1983. Given both the lack of good sources and the glaring timeline error I think we should be using the verifiable TSR version of events unless a new and reliable source can be brought to bear, in which case we can write that there are conflicting stories and detail both with sources. One thing that might help is if anyone can dig up any local court records on the "secured debt foreclosure" which TSR says happened sometime near (after?) April 1982. 172.88.134.126 (talk) 14:47, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

message: A user named "Chad427" seems to be the source for 95% of the Abdul-related pages and they are all filled to the brim with POV comments and misinformation. I suspect "Chad" is not a native English speaker as in this article he referred to Abdul "joking" about her microphone "being a battery pack" in relation to the MTV performance mentioned in the article. He clearly didn't understand that what she was saying was that her battery pack - the source of the power to her microphone - was worn beneath her costume near her buttocks, which made her look as though her butt was larger. 70.20.173.96 16:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger proposed (The Listening) 

message: I'm deleting the following paragraph for I think fairly obvious reasons:
"The only member left in the band now is Gabe. This is due to the fact that his ego got the best of him and he drove everyone away. Eric, Josiah, and Chris left the band because they didn't agree with decisions he was making in his personal life, such as leaving his wife because, "God told me to." Gabe and the label are now taking legal action against these 3 for breech of contract to the tune of $200,000 each. He even went so far as to have them served papers just before they took the stage at tomfest. Oh and, Aaron Lamere and Bobby Love were never in the band."
Whoever wrote this apparently has some bitterness, but what I want to know more than anything is where they got their information. If whoever wrote this paragraph is out there, where are these accusations coming from?

message: Hey gang-- For the past few days I have been trying to find some of Dr. Shapiro's contributions via the library loan system deal and haven't really found much success as most of his articles weren't distributed(?) a whole lot, I guess.  Regardless, I have managed to find ONE article and if you guys would like, I can try to email it to you guys so we can dissect what the article is all about.  Either that, or I would be perfectly happy doing it myself as it really isn't that long of an article (it's like 2 pages or so).

message: I found a small amount of biographical information on David Shapiro 
I am unsure if I am supposed to edit the actual article on wikipedia or post it in here first so I figured I would post what I found on here and we can add it to the article by copy pasting it later, also he did get back to me through email and said he was out of the country and could get me some information on himself when he returns April 7th. We can add more to his biography after he emails me again. 
 David Shapiro began his writing career very early in life. He won his first poetry contest when  he was just 12 years old, winning $15 for the accomplishment. He currently is retired and living in Florida with his wife. Many of his successes include a vast teaching career and many notable publications. He graduated from Harvard in 1965 with his B.A. in Social relations. He went on to graduate school at The University of Michigan and graduated in 1972 with a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology.

message: Following recent discussion at WT:BASEBALL, this is a proposal to rename biographical article Chink Zachary to Albert Zachary. Searching on newspapers.com during his time in professional baseball (1936 to 1951) finds that he was referred to as "Albert Zachary" (or "Al Zachary") much more than "Chink Zachary". Search examples, all done on newspapers.com:
* "Albert Zachary" pitcher for 1936–1951 gets 123 hits
* "Al Zachary" pitcher for 1936–1951 gets 46 hits
* "Chink Zachary" pitcher for 1936–1951 gets 41 hits
* "Albert Zachary" baseball for 1936–1951 gets 104 hits
* "Al Zachary" baseball for 1936–1951 gets 45 hits
* "Chink Zachary" baseball for 1936–1951 gets 39 hits
* "Albert Zachary" brooklyn for 1936–1951 gets 115 hits
* "Al Zachary" brooklyn for 1936–1951 gets 39 hits
* "Chink Zachary" brooklyn for 1936–1951 gets 30 hits
As there is no current article named "Albert Zachary" on Wikipedia, this would be a straightforward move, with "Chink Zachary" continuing to redirect users to the new article title. Comments welcome—please reply in the below section. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:13, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  IGD 

message: To me, it sounds as if IGD is a protocol for configuring routers (especially for doing port forwarding) and getting information from routers (e.g. the external IP). So instead of letting users manually configure and look up this stuff on a router configuration web page, an application developer can make the application request the configuration changes automatically from the router. If I have understood this correctly, maybe one could improve the top of the article to include this information directly instead of just saying that the IGD protocol is a NAT-PMP (which many readers won't understand; also, the article on NAT-PMP does not define it the way it is used in this article on IGD). 95.90.43.41 (talk) 12:25, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Blood (The X-Files)

message: I am going to undo a change that was made regarding the GA review, which misinterpreted the A.V. Club review. Based on reading the other reviews on the site, the "good" review is not just in comparison with "Little Green Men" and "The Host", but rather an assessment with it as an episode of The X-Files. The rankings are used as a guide to the show: "essential" for the episodes that are critical to understand the story-arc, "good" for the better stand-alone episodes, "the rest" for average stand-alones, and "bad" for the ones best skipped. Just because "Little Green Men" was listed as "essential" does not mean it is a notch above "Blood" or "The Host", or a notch under; it is just part of the story arc. For example, see "One Breath", which was "essential" although the reviewer had some things to criticize about it. Glimmer721 talk 21:58, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
