message: As soon as the restriction period over, it has been 4 edits done by 24.222.2.179 and 84.44.145.179 to mess-up the whole article and change of his birth year again. What shall I do? Is it possible to ask for permanent restriction to protect the article?  - Jay 14:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is by no means the only article subject to vandal attacks. The policy seems to be one of reluctance to have a long term blanket IP block for articles. I would suggest looking at WP:Vandalism and similar and start the warnings procedures against the culprit IDs. That way if, say, it is pupils at a particular school doing the attacks, it might get blcoked off altogether.--Peter cohen 11:56, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Peter, the reason why I asked for the article to be protected last month is because some people keep changing his birth date for reason, they were “invited” to Domingo’s secret birthday party – they claimed that Domingo was born in 1934 instead of 1941. Despite putting all the references to confirm that Domingo was born in 1941, those people insisted that we are all wrong. This is not a common vandalism like other articles. One of them changed back the birth date as soon as the restriction period has over. Anyway, the admin just extended the restriction until 14 January 2008, about 10 minutes ago. We will monitor again after the 14th. - Jay 12:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The chap with the bee in his bonnet about Domingo's birth date, always edits the article anonymously, and from a variety of IPs which all trace back to Cologne Germany.

#redirect History of Germany#Early modern Germany pointing to a section within History of Germany that hardly explains the use of the term, nor the subdivisions of the HRE it describes, which are covered in German states of the Holy Roman Empire. As "the Germanies" also refers to the post-1815  and post-1949  situations, it has to be a redirect to Germanies were all meanings are explained and linked. -- Matthead discuß!     O       03:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Near the end of the current article, the "link" of a vertex in a triangulated manifold is mentioned, but it is cross-referenced to a different meaning of link (disjoint embeddings of S^1 --> S^3).

Are the two related (other than that the links of the cusps of a link-complement are the link)?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lewallen (talk • contribs) 22:02, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed the (hyper)link  to point to Link (geometry) which is closer to the intended meaning.  Even this is not quite adequate, though, as the article Link (geometry) seems to describe the link only in a 2-dimensional simplicial complex.  So the article Link (geometry) needs to be fixed.

thread_title:  "Link" cross-reference 

message: "Poincare sphere" redirects here, however there is another use of the term. In optics, the polarisation state of (fully polarised) light is often described as lying at some position on the "Poincare sphere". In this usage, the Poincare sphere is analogous to a Bloch sphere (especially so for individual photons). Besides the first two results which are Wikipedia, Google seems of the opinion that this is the common usage of the term "Poincare sphere". Perhaps someone (more knowledgeable than I on editing WP) should do something about this. QTachyon 03:03, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This paragraph is unsourced and sounds like OR.  We need some documentation that this character was originally intended as a vampire.
There is one vampire in the film, albeit undeclared. Dirk, who claims that he has paid Rourke's character for "something" confronts Renfro. It is clear that his eyes are black, and his skin white. He is a vampire, and he has come for the young boy who Rourke has kidnapped with the intention of selling for $6,000.

Talk:Task Force 16

message: Recognising the article is a stub...
The wording for makes it appear that then-RADM Spruance, as Commander, Task Force 16, had the command responsibility for both TF off Midway. This is factually incorrect. Then-RADM Frank Jack Fletcher was the overall commander at Midway, as both the senior Flag Officer at sea, and as the commander designated by the C-in-C Pacific Fleet.
Also, we really ought to make clear that Halsey didn't have a bad case of acne or eczema---he had shingles, which is also called "chickenpox", and which in adults is frequently debilitating. Haley was declared medically unfit for sea by the Fleet Medical Officer---he wasn't suffering from anxiety or overwork; he didn't have a rash; he had an actual, bone fide disease.
Spruance not only didn't "win" Midway, he badly handled his CTF. Were it not for the veteran ship's company and Carrier Air Group of Enterprise (CV-6), Spruance's contribution would have amounted to appalling losses due to operational accidents---ditchings due to fuel starvation. This was a direct result of his inexperience in fight operations, of Mitscher's inexperience in carrier combat operations, and of Spruance being—of necessity—saddled with Halsey's staff. Unable to sort through the disputations, Spruance made a grievous error. One he never made again.

replies: text: WP:EL, I removed the link. For starters this underdeveloped article does not yet include any reviews to balance out, so far it only provides an overview from aggregators such as Rotten Tomatoes, and no responses from individual critics or any deeper analysis. Even then the Guardian article you added in defense of Sandra Bullock you didn't make any effort to paraphrase it yourself, and it is an opinion piece not a film review. If the article include several reviews from notable critics, and made some effort to take a deeper look at the film, considering story, acting, direction, cinematography, score, then maybe you could explain that even though the overall response was negative if there were any parts the critics did like. -- 109.79.85.118 (talk) 04:18, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
