Talk:Mihai Stelescu

message: I made two changes which need some elaboration:
* Removed the description of Elena Lupescu as "Jewish". Both parents were Jews converted to Christianity prior to her birth; she was raised as a Catholic, she never practiced Judaism, and she never considered herself as a Jew. Therefore, she was not Jewish either by Romanian law of the time, or by Jewish custom. Consequently, it is obvious that those authors who, then and now, describe her as Jewish, do so for political reasons. She would have qualified as Jewish under the Nuremberg laws of 1935 -- but surely that's not the Wikipedia standard!
::Fine. Although I have a hard time figuting whether some Zionist criteria do not take into account nationality over religion, I do not disagree: mention was made only to render what she was perceived as (it is undeniable that she was perceived as such. Dahn 21:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm afraid that what you did was rude, as you did not back it with references. Veiga references a Cruciada Romanismului issue, with strong pro-Italian content (much more than in Legionary papers), writes at length about Codreanu's support for Germany in Codreanu's own words (which, btw, was quite obvious without Codreanu's words). He also mentions the disagreements between Mota and the Italians after the Fascist International (CAUR) congress (when the CAUR eventually chose to back Averescu, Cuza, and others - given that, in between Mussolini and Hitler, Codreanu chose Hitler), as well as countless other episodes (including Calinescu's pressures for the German Embassy to reveal plans it had in common with the Guard). Everything in the work of major Legion figures points to an alliance with Germany, and Carol's actions included desperate attempts to compete with Codreanu's over Hitler's favours. It is not a question of thesis, and I will add that back in. Dahn 21:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: To be clear: what is ambiguous is establishing the relation between the Iron Guard ideology and Nazism (or, for that matter, between the Iron Guard ideology and Fascism); what is ambiguous is the reception of Codreanu's support in Germany. That Codreanu expressed his primordial and staunch support for Germany as early as 1933, to the point of causing tensions between the Italians and the Guard, is not subject to nuancing. Also note that, even if you disagree with the overall policy, this reflects a divergence between Stelescu and Codreanu at that precise time (and, consequently, their attitudes at that exact time).

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Quedgeley&type=revision&diff=783367436&oldid=779660880
* The entry for the cycleway is non-notable and is not shown to be relevant to Quedgeley.
* The entry contains a safety opinion that is not evidenced by the source.  One (or more) accident does not in itself allow the conclusion the cycleway is (particularly) dangerous.  Unfortunately the source now appears to be a dead link (though I have viewed it previously). [[WP:WP:Fringe theories, WP:No original research
* The location of the entry gives undue weight in the context of the article (Probably should be under 'roads' if present at all). 
* Some concern that this is a fringe interest WP:FRINGE

Talk:Straight-tusked elephant

message: I don't really understand this sentence: It is closer to L. cyclotis than L. cyclotis is to the African bush elephant, L. africana, thus invalidating the genus Loxodonta as currently recognized. Surely the solution is simply to transfer Palaeoloxodon antiquus into the genus Loxodonta. If anything is invalidated, it's the idea of Palaeoloxodon as a separate genus. Given that the two Loxodonta species are so similar as to have been thought conspecific until recently, it doesn't seem justified to split the genus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graminophile (talk • contribs) 08:14, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

message: In the article: Since the remains of the trunks do not show human markings, extinction by natural causes can not be ruled out. 
Well, who could rule out a thing that was never meant to be?  In the article there is no other argument about the human extinction of paleoxodon, unless you think that over 500,000 of co-existence did not led some humans to hunt some paleoxodon. But when they came extinct and why it's totally another matter. 62.11.3.98 (talk) 02:56, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Nonsense

message: This artifle has way too much uncited text. One of the main culprits of this is this massive 5kb dump by a now inactive user. In it are made very specific claims about the specific kinds of plant that P. antiquus consumed, based on supposed "tooth residues" that have no citations at all, and I can't find after extensive searching what source they would have used. Other studies on the diet of this species based on dental microwear are much less specific. I am inclined just to remove the text entirely. Hemiauchenia (talk) 08:10, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article name 

message: The article says: "For the first time in the world, instead of having the traditional three-neath pylon station layout, the engineers were able to overlap the vault space and support it with two sets of colonnades on each side. This gave birth to a new column type design and Mayakovskaya was the first station to show this."
This refers to the Soviet metro history only. However, there are stations in the world (for instance in New York), that have been built before 1938 and still are deep column stations, rather than pylon ones. What type are they? What station types existed in the world before 1938? Vcohen (talk) 11:40, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:User versions

message: (copied from WP:VP):
:Interesting but my initial reaction is that this is too complicated. Technically, it might be a complex overhead, especially because of the proposed delegation system and in practice, I'm afraid you would find that the preferred version is ancient, even though the article has been through a definite progression since or (even worst) articles with low traffic in which an unacceptable version becomes the preferred one because a handful of sockpuppets have deemed it as such. Like it or not, random users will see the preferred page as a mark of confidence. I much prefer the idea of stable versions where the complex process partly ensures that only articles of high importance are tagged.  Pascal.Tesson 20:45, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The base version shouldn't require much more server/database overhead than the watchlist feature itself, which needs to maintain a large set of {user, article} records in the database.
