Talk:Jean-Baptiste Dumas

message: I feel that this description of Dumas's office belongs in the biography section with his other memberships and appointments, not in the Scientific Work section. I have moved the sentence "Dumas was president of Société d'encouragement pour l'industrie nationale from 1845 to 1864." From the end of the Scientific Work section to the end of the second paragraph of the Biography, where I feel it fits best in the existing chronology.
The former last sentence of the second paragraph of the biography, "The same year he became correspondent of the Royal Institute of the Netherlands and when that became the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1851 he joined as foreign member." should be written as two separate sentences. I have also changed this.

message: I have set up a bot to archive this talk page. Generally, if a talk page includes repeated discussion, that's a good reason to consider not archiving them aggressively, since it's more likely that new editors will refer to previous discussion which haven't been archived. Additionally, for future reference, please do not alter archived talk pages without a very good reason, per WP:TPG and H:ARC. Per H:ARC, if this really does need to be explained repeatedly, a FAQ should be considered, but merely archiving every comment is basically asking for comments to be rehashed.

thread_title: Archiving a talk page

message: Regarding this massive revert, the majority of recent edits have been by a disruptive sockfarm, per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/DonSpencer1. It's difficult, and tedious, to go through these edits closely (which is one reason this kind of behavior is so disruptive) but they restored unreliable source and leaned very heavily on original research. There were also WP:DUE and WP:MOS issues (such as MOS:FLAGICON). These problems are consistent with other edits made by this sockfarm, so I have reverted to a much shorter previous version. Unfortunately there was likely positive contributions from good-faith editors which were also reverted, by looking at the article's history, not too many, so that's something at least.

Template talk:Reporting mark

message: Should the mark really be rendered in bold?  This seems to violate the WP style guide.  For example, see Sun (disambiguation), where its use for Sunset Railway (near the bottom) makes it the only item to appear in bold, which is in contradiction to WP:MOSDAB.--NapoliRoma (talk) 15:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This template was originally created to present the reporting marks in a standard format in an article's first sentence.  Since a majority of railroad companies in North America are referred to by their reporting mark (i.e. UP for Union Pacific Railroad, WP for Western Pacific Railroad, ATSF for Santa Fe Railroad, etc.), the template follows the convention that all the subject names in the lead section are bolded.  We could easily add a parameter to turn off the bolding for use elsewhere in an article (so we'd put something like , for example.  Slambo (Speak) 14:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Could we please implement the 2008 suggestion above to add a parameter to enable the template to display its result not bold.  Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 21:11, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added the parameter as suggested above and documented its use. Slambo (Speak) 15:04, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit request: Bolding 

message: Currently this template always adds parentheses around its text. This produces adjacent sets of parentheses in articles that include another parenthesized phrase, such as an abbreviation for the railroad. For example, Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway:
:The Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway (SP&S)  ...
Or Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad:
:The Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad (P&LE)  ...
MOS:PAREN says that adjacent sets of parentheses should be avoided. In these cases, the parenthesized parts should be combined, like  reporting mark SPS)" or  reporting mark PLE)". But currently this is impossible to do while using the  template, because it always includes its own parentheses.
How about a parameter similar to the existing bold parameter, called parens perhaps, that could be set to no to turn off the parentheses? Then these adjacent sets of parentheses could be fixed.
I'd be happy to make the change myself if there is consensus to do so. —Bkell (talk) 18:24, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

The style is neutral, parts that seemed like advertising have been removed. The COI maintenance tag has been on it for 10 years, and in my opinion there is nothing that justifies it at the present day. Most of the original text written by Michael Pärt seems to have been removed or changed from its original wording. Therefore I remove the tag but if anyone feels it is still justified we can reopen the discussion. -- Toomas (talk) 13:42, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

message: Coordinates:  Omaopio is not a formal area with boundaries or a central office. So I removed the tag requesting coordinates. </br>
Removed content:  A. I removed driving directions to Omaopio because it's indirect promotion for the dairy (there's a far easier way to get to the area). B. I removed the mention of the dairy because, 1. It's promotion for the dairy and 2. Omaopio and the dairy are not the same thing. The dairy can leave and still be a dairy. If it's notable enough, it should have its own article.</br>
Notability tag: I could no substantive discussion of Omaopio. </br>This area is beautiful and the people who live there have a very good reason to be proud of it.

Talk:Peahi, Hawaii

message: Pe'ahi (Hawaiian for "wave"), aka Jaws (formerly known as "Domes") is not a beach; it's a wave break.  Hawaiians refer to it as "Pe'ahi".  Jaws (beach) should be merged into Peahi, Hawaii as the former is a duplicate of the latter, as well as a double misnomer.

message: "Kīlauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes, and is currently in one of its longest active phases. The current eruption has been continuously in action since 1983"
Words like "currently" or "recently" don't really make a whole lot of sense in an encyclopedic context because the reader does not know what they refer to. Do they refer to the present day? Do they refer to 2018 or whenever this sentence may have been written, and do I really have to research the history of the article first before I can understand what is meant? Do they refer to geological time spans, like a time span from 1000 A.D. to 3000 A.D. might be considered "currently"?
As far as I am aware, in the year of 2019 so far there has not been any active lava flow on the island, so if "currently" was meant in the sense of "right now", the sentence would be just plain wrong.
It would be nice if someone could come up with a less ambiguous wording. --87.150.10.246 (talk) 07:58, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Sol Hoʻopiʻi

message: I added a back-tick to substitute for the glottal stop `okina consonants in Sol Ho`opi`i's name. I wish I could do that for the article title, too. It drives me crazy when I hear people pronounce his name something like Hoopey, and the absence of the Hawaiian diacritical marks lends itself to that. 71.235.61.50 19:09, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved the article to a name using the ʻokina. (For a while it used the grave accent ` in place of the okina, but that's wrong too.) You don't have to use substitutes for the ʻokina. You can use it directly by writing ʻ or  in the edit box. You can leave it like that, or you can hit "Show preview", select the character with your cursor, copy it, and paste it back into the edit box so that the ʻ character itself appears in the edit box (which makes life easier for future editors as it's easier to read). —Angr (talk) 10:53, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Progressive Conservative Party

message: I have changed this from:
* a redirect to Progressive Conservative Party of Canada
to:
* a disambiguation page for all Progressive Conservative parties.
I did this because PC parties continue to exist in several provinces. Sloppy editors are likely to continue linking to "Progressive Conservative Party", "Progressive Conservative" and "Progressive Conservatives" without specifying which party. Prior to my change, a reader linking through would end up at the article about the defunct federal party, and have to sift through to find the relevant provicial party. Now, if a reader follows a bad link, at least it will go to the disambiugation page where he/she can easily link through the appropriate provincial party.

replies: text: I'd agree to that statement requiring a firm cite. Altough Das Boot is quite famous, few people who've only read the book or seen the film will connect it to Lehmnan-Willenbrock.

replies: text: Concur...Now that I think about it (and not knowing who wrote the article) it occurs to me Willenbrock might be the best known in Germany; whereas Kretschmer would be more known in the US and maybe Britain due to his capture which was unusual and well publicized if I recall right (at a time when we needed success stories; early 1941)...Wonder if that difference has anything to do with it...Engr105th 02:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Seeing no other objection/discussion about Willenbrock's fame, I am removing the last sentence of the "Achievements" paragraph (it states "Although he wasn't the greatest among the Aces of the Deep, he is perhaps the most well-known of the ten.").
