Talk:Hans Henrich Hock

message: I had tagged this for  and  back in June but apparently never put down any reasoning. In case it isn't self-evident, here we go. In short, this article reads a lot like Hock's curriculum vitae. I'd improve it myself, but honestly, I've never been too clear on what a good academic article should look like, nor how to really find notability for academics.
Not that I'm questioning his notability per se- if anything I'd have to recuse myself from judging that, having taken at least one course from Hock in my days at UIUC.
But as to the tone, sentences such as "His research interests include general historical and comparative linguistics, as well as the linguistics of Sanskrit" and "He can read and speak a number of other languages—both modern and extinct—with varying ability" strike me as violating the "professional tone" tenet of WP:TONE. The latter sentence is further questionable as it would appear to come from a primary source (namely, Hock's personal webpage).
The essay-like concerns, I think are shared with the tone concerns- the article reads like a simple biographical entry describing Hock as a person rather than really discussing his notable accomplishments and publications.
Honestly, I'd considered taking this to AfD at that time, citing WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:IINFO concerns, but I don't think this article is quite that bad. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 20:56, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Jock Mahoney

message: An editor (well-meaning, I'm positive) has, over time, added a great deal of information about The Range Rider and Yancy Derringer television programs Mahoney starred in. Though the information is fantastic, it doesn't really belong here. This is a brief examination of Mahoney's life and career, not of the minutiae of theme songs and character motivations and interactions from the shows. Each show has its own article with all this info present. Thus, I've deleted most of it from this article. Sir Rhosis (talk) 06:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved to Joe Colombo (designer). A consensus formed that the name "Cesare" should be removed from the article title, but a consensus also formed that the subject is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Joe Colombo". Two parenthetical disambiguators were proposed, "industrial designer" and "designer". Here, a consensus formed around "designer", which participants noted was more WP:CONCISE while also being WP:CONSISTENT with other industrial designers' disambiguation.

In the subsequent montage, Collins' character is seen in an alternative version of the Maltese Falcon, released in 1941.

Talk:Joe Lefors

message: I edited the second sentence of the article since it said that Lefors was best known for Tom Horn's arrest, which isn't strictly accurate since he didn't actually arrest him (and the arrest itself wasn't particularly dramatic), and it implied that there was a widespread-enough-to-note-it belief that Lefors had falsified Horn's evidence that caused him to be hanged for a murder he didn't commit. I assume "evidence" is referring to the confession, in which case I don't think it's widely believed that Lefors altered it. Horn wrote a letter from prison to Charlie Ohnhaus claiming that Ohnhaus had been paid to add incriminating bits in, but I don't know if most historians believe that. If any of this is wrong, cite a source when you re-add it. I wanted to add something about the actual debate about the confession (that Horn was - to quote Larry D. Ball quoting a journalist in 1903 - "prone to claim to have committed every murder of which he had heard") but I couldn't figure out a way to fit it in to the lead gracefully, especially since this article is about Lefors and not Horn.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.117.210.98 (talk) 17:48, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

message: "Stateira II ... possibly also known as Barsine, was the daughter of Stateira I and Darius III of Persia. "
There was another Barsine in the same period who had contacts with Alexander. It should be clarified to avoid confusion. The 'real' Barsine was the daughter of a Persian nobleman named Artabazus, the satrap of Phrygia, in modern day Turkey, which was at the time part of the Persian Empire. Barsine married more than once, her first marriage was to Mentor a Greek mercenary leader who worked for Persians and had close ties to Barsine's father.

Talk:John A. Brown Jr.

message: I have removed the "Notability tag". Maybe this person is notable for only one thing he did, or, rather, what was done to him. He was executed. But, as I have mentioned somewhere else before, this is an encyclopedia. This is not about "good vs. bad". A lot of "highly regarded" editors put in a lot of effort to list every person who has ever won an Olympic medal, a world championship medal, European medal, Pulitzer Prize, Oscar, Purple Heart, and so on. ANY RECOMMENDATION. Regardless of whether that was the ONLY "notable" thing that person ever did. This is an encyclopedia. Hundreds of thousands of "good people" who did nothing else except being good "once" deserve an article? But little over a thousand bad people don't? The way I look at Wikipedia is that it is hopefully one day going to be a reliable source of reference for people (or maybe even aliens from outside Earth) 100 years from now, 1,000 years from now, no matter how long. This is an encyclopedia. This is about truth and about history. Not about "sugarcoating" things. Good or bad, it should be in an encyclopedia. A "bad" person doesn't deserve a mention unless he's been "very" bad? A "good" person deserves a mention even if there are many more "good" persons? If a "notability tag" is going to be put on articles like this, then I can think of tens of thousands of articles that should be tagged the same way. An encyclopedia is not about good or bad, it's about facts. And the less people did or had something done to them, the more they deserve an article. After all, I don't deserve an article simply because I'm able to raise my middle finger, for instance, or for having been beaten up, or for having been a good boy and listened to my parents at some point. wjmt (talk) 02:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

File talk:Horseanatomy.png

message: Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think the tail bone goes that far out of the body. Isn't the tail almost entirely hair?
 It would depend largely upon the breed of horse as to specific extension from the body, but in order to have any degree of movement over its tail any animal must have a fairly considerable bone element. Remember; muscles move appendages, muscles are connected to appendages by tendons, tendons are anchored to bone. So without bones, movement is rarely possible. What is perhaps deceptive about this diagram is  that the tail bones are a little bigger and less clearly defined as seperate than is the actually the case, they are actually quite slender in reality but this was nessessary to actually show them, bearing in mind this is an 8" tall drawing representing something that could be 1.8m high. 
I notice that the same bone in the left and right foreleg are called radius for one and ulna for the other. I'm not a vet, but I believe the name doesn't change based on right and left. In the human arm the two bones exist in the forearm and rotate over and under each other when the arm is turned. I don't believe horse legs have this same movement capability and from the drawing there appears to be only one bone there, which would make sense if that were the case. Could you please clarify this seeming inaccuracy?
: The two bones run parallel to each other just as they do in the human forearm. One is behind the other as you view it from the side, so what you are infact seeing is the left side of the radius of the left foreleg and the left side of the ulna of the right foreleg. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding. I should add aswell, this isn't a perfect representation of a horse, it doesnt need to be for our purposes. Its about highlighting the overall structure of horse anatomy, I'm not trying to get every bump and lump to scale exactly as it would be. A small amount of ambiguity in a diagram like this is good for wikipedia because we can use it for all sorts of articles that way and not just specific to horse anatomy. Consider as well that there are many different subsets of equines with many different body builds, no two of which will be the same horses sometimes can be frightened of things like if you scare them they will stare blankly then run away.
Shouldn't it be "humerus" instead of "humerous" for the forearm bone? Linefeed (talk) 06:13, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
