Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Gamemecca

message: I realize that this material does not appear to be something you would find in an encyclopedia. However, the information that was posted in this article is of a great deal of interest to the members of and newcomers to Gamemecca. Most members know little to nothing about the origin of the website and what has happened since it was created, therefore this page was going to serve as an indispensable tool to bolster the site's history. Please do not delete this thread and undo the large edit that took out 1/2 the page I spent a great deal of time on.

Talk:Richard Sibbes

message: In "Life", paragraph 1, what does "In fact he was never deprived of any of his posts, due to his ingenuity of the system.[5]" mean? If it means he was "ingenuous", that is to say, perhaps, without guile or covert political intention, perhaps "ingenuousness" would be preferable to "ingenuity", to avoid the suggestion of cunning or contrivance more usually contained in the latter? And if so, then to which "system" does it refer? - to the University system, or to the Church of England's system, or to a "System" of Theology? Or perhaps to all of these, i.e. to the "Social System"? Then again, can one be ingenuous of anything? Surely ingenuousness is a general aspect of character, not a particular one? In what sense was his non-deprivation due to this - was this a time-elapsed credit upon the balance of his account, or was it rather the result of, or in consideration of, or owing to, his ingenuousness? I venture to suggest that "due to his ingenuity of the system" is an impenetrable expression, and ought to be replaced by something comprehensible, if anyone knows what the writer was attempting to say.Eebahgum (talk) 11:43, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Yonkers, NY 

message: There was a navigation template which was deemed too big to be helpful, which essentially duplicated this list, less all the redlinks.  This was covered in Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2017 January 17#Template:List of United States Post Offices, recently concluded.
I removed a negative tag on this article about its sourcing, perhaps related.  The content of this list is mainly the post offices that are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, because those are probably all individually Wikipedia-notable and the list of them is available through the NRIS database.  One could add a reference to NRIS for each item separately, but that wouldn't be particularly helpful, it would just make 500 or 900 copies of the same reference.  I don't think it is disputed whether any single item on this list belongs here...they are just post offices... and I don't think footnote copies would help.  It is not necessary to footnote everything in any article;  only assertions which are contentious, disputed or unusual really need to be footnoted.  If someone else perceives there to be a sourcing issue, please explain. --doncram 16:35, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Most but not necessarily all of the items are National Register-listed.  The bluelink items in this list have separate sourcing at their articles, which doesn't need to be copied to here.  The redlink items are all (i think) supported by supporting bluelinks (like is required on disambiguation pages per MOS:DABRL) to NRHP list-articles that use the redlink in context.  Those NRHP list-articles are themselves sourced, are based on NRIS, in their identifying the places as being listed on the National Register, establishing their existence as post offices. --doncram 16:40, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

message: Here's some text for consideration to include in the article:
The ideological and political notion of limiting access to alcohol products has been noted by many researchers as  outdated, unscientific and overly-manipulative of human populaces. (Add many easy to find, empirically researched references here.) Furthermore, contemporary studies highly correlate moderate alcohol beverage consumption with many health benefits, including (but not limited to) decreased risk of atherosclerosis,Kuller, Lewis H., Pearson, Thomas A., Steinberg, Daniel. Alcohol and atherosclerosis, Article Abstract. American College of Physicians. Annals of Internal Medicine. 1991. ISSN: 0003-4819.
The Scientific Temperance Federation based their ideology on unscientific opinions. The organization was an example of ideology based upon junk science and subjective mindsets.

message: As a Dutchman, I raise my eyebrows when I see how this selfproclaimed hero is finding an audience for his thin stories. One would think the Dutch would have taken notice of his story, for instance in Loe de Jong's exhaustive war study in 12 parts and 26 volumes Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. This is, however, not the case. Any mention made of mr Van der Geest in Dutch webpublications is highly critical. This page should be flagged biased and not substantiated by anything but mr Van der Geest's own writing. 
Good luck on the referencing though. Very curious what you'll come up with. And internetreferences are probably not going to make it any more plausible. You need the hard facts. Books. --Bjrndlw (talk) 18:06, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Exhaustive studies doesn't mean the author has gleaned & examined every facet of information in their research. It just means they researched till they felt it was sufficient (to them, to get the book published).  But what prompts the Doubtful Dutchman's concerns?  There is nothing wrong with a Dutchman having been a wartime hero - or is there?  He should be very proud of such a hero produced by his country!

Christopher Love was the son of a merchant of Cardiff in Glamorganshire. Encouraged by his father, he gained a reputation as a gambler during his early life, but in 1633 he heard a sermon by the radical Welsh preacher William Erbery that persuaded him to renounce his sinful ways and devote himself to godliness. ... Love's conversion to Puritanism caused a breach with his father who confined him to the top room of the family house, yet Love escaped by climbing down a rope to attend sermons. Supported by his mother and Erbery, Love persuaded his father to let him go to Oxford to train for the ministry. He attained his degree in 1639 but refused to be ordained by a bishop, regarding Episcopacy as popish and corrupt. ... DaiSaw (talk) 08:36, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
