Wikipedia talk:Informative

message: Not a bad summary of the criteria --Morven 01:48, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)
thread_title: Testimonials

message: "Informative" is a bad title. Here are a few reasons why:
#Informative is an adjective meaning providing information. There is no need to complicate things by making another page for providing information besides the one on information.
#If someone is looking for what an informative wikipedia article is (or what informative content is) they will not be expecting to find it on a page entitled "informative" they will expect it on a page such as "informative subject" or "information". Bensaccount 22:55, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: Removed: "Because Wikipedia is so incredibly generous, we don't even mind if the primary people interested in some fact are now all dead. For example, the 38 people with a special interest in knowing that the Hale-Bopp comet was just a comet."
This is quite amusing, so perhaps it wasn't meant seriously. However, if it was, I think it misses the point. We'd only include information relevant to the beliefs of the Heaven's Gate cult if those beliefs were potentially interesting to someone who was still alive. Of course, there are lots of living people interested in that cult, so we would include the information for their benefit, not for the benefit of the people who are now dead! -- Oliver P. 05:29, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Gostak

message: If you're wondering what the point of this is, run a Google search. Despite the lack of a referent for these terms, yes -- a Gostak is that which distims the doshes. - Adam Conover, 22:26, 25 November 2003
*Incidentally, I'm wondering about that sample dialogue exploring the phrase's syntactical space. Is it a direct quote from somewhere? DS 13:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Under the ‘music’ section, there is discussion of a sonata, “The Gostak Distims the Doshes”, supposedly composed by “Hiawatha” (Hiawatha who?) in 1984. The only reference is a library call number, which could easily have been made up with the expectation that no one would check it. Is this just ten-year-old vandalism?

Talk:Dancing music

message: Dance music often refers to fastbeat house and techno music that is in proportion with the dots on a moving highway.  Somebody should expand the Jock Jams article. --TheSamurai 03:47, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Techno/House music 

message: This article needs changing as was originally proposed back in '03. there is music made to accompany dance (ie music for traditional dancing, where the dance is the focus), and music made to entice dancing (where the music is the focus); the genre in itself, encompassing electronica, house, trance, etc etc.. They are clearly two different entities, and the latter is relegated to a meer tiny "Nightclubs and raves" section (not even 'modern dance music'); whilst it is not just something of "nightclubs and raves". i making this article refer to the "nightclubs and raves" section, and move the bluk of the article to dance music (traditional) or dancing music. many many 'pop'-related songs/albums/artists link to dance music in their genre box; and this article clearly does not refect the genre they are intending to link to.~Bungalowbill 11:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Transportation and Communications in Mexico

message: I've been doing some research for a project, and found conflicting statements relating to Mexico's largest ports:
* Transport in Mexico: "Tampico, Tamaulipas, and Veracruz, Veracruz, on the Gulf of Mexico, are Mexico's two primary seaports."
* Manzanillo, Colima: "In 2004 the port of Manzanillo surpassed Veracruz as Mexico's largest port per volume of cargo."
* Mazatlán: "Mazatlán, ... is the second-largest city in the state (after Culiacán) and Mexico's largest commercial port."
Can we get some consitency with these statements? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.89.156.172 (talk) 07:47, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Biggest port confusion

message: Given that communications in Mexico covers both transportation and telecommunications, and are both coordinated by the same Secretariat or Executive Ministry, I strongly believe that the articles should be merged once again. Articles regarding Mexico do not need to follow the same pattern as those of the United States. The move was rather unilateral, with no previous discussion, even after my first reversion. --the Dúnadan 01:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Gettysburg Address

message: Hello,
At the beginning of the article, the caption for the photo of Pres. Lincoln at Gettysburg states the following: "One of the two confirmed photos of Lincoln".  
However, later in the article, under the "Photographs" section, it states: "The only known and confirmed photograph of Lincoln at Gettysburg". 
The discrepancy seems to be due to the 2013 photo that was discovered, and allegedly showed Lincoln (see link below). At the time, many historians stated that they believed it was indeed Lincoln who was identified in that photo, although the consensus (at least in 2013) among historians was not unanimous (not sure about today). 
https://www.foxnews.com/science/ultrarare-photo-of-abraham-lincoln-discovered 
I think we should look at resolving this discrepancy (either go with two confirmed photos, or discuss that there is still only one confirmed photo, and one that is believed by many historians to be a second photo of Lincoln at Gettysburg). 
Thank you!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhansen23 (talk • contribs) 04:10, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Soviet ballroom dances

message: From the editable body of the article:

: OK. No fun. How about the following replacement:
:: <<Soviet ballroom dances is a relatively new creation. This dance category was introduced with the stated agenda to counterbalance the influence of Western culture (i.e., European ballroom dancing). Today the category is obsolete, but the dances themselves survived.>>
: It can be easily proved that there was an open political agenda indeed. It may be found in Russian popular dance books of these times.  And the disputed statement is perfecly neutral: in the Soviet Union the notion of "political correctess" was exactly opposite to what it means e.g., in the USA today.
:What is more, I remember a series of TV programs whose purpose was to present "new" ballroom dances based on folk dances of various nations of the USSR.

I believe the story about Stewart Nelson conflates two episodes. While I believe he was involved in making blue boxes, I had a brief look at a schematic for one about 1969, this was long after he was involved in programming the pdp-1 to generate dial pulses, not tones, to trace out the MIT telephone network and the networks it connected to. I briefly saw a map of this network around 1965. I heard that the dialing project came to light one night when a telephone company repairman was called in to fix an unrelated problem in the MIT telephone exchange. It seems they had made a factor of two programming error and the pdp-1 output bit was dialing at 5 pulses per second, not the standard 10 pulses per second. The sound of this slow dialing stood out audibly in the nightime quiet of the MIT exchange. The repairman investigated the odd sound and this led to the discovery of the project.--AJim 05:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Paternity law

message: I think the issue of paternity fraud should be left in the discussion of Paternity (law) and not as a separate discussion on paternity fraud. The question of defining paternity is one area of active legislative movement, and there are many states in the U.S. which have opted to modernize laws to make for greater use of genetic test results in the question of defining legal paternity. In this sense, common law doctrine discussed in the introduction to this page is not longer strictly applicable due to these modifications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliandroms (talk • contribs)

message: I believe that paternity law is a very important topic that needs more addressing.

replies: text: While explanations of how paternity laws differ, or how they are applied by courts of various nations might be helpful to this article, it appears that you want to present an argument as to why the law should be changed and the concept of "father" expanded.

Talk:French Canadians

message: The article at Francophone Canadians seems to WP:CFORK a lot of content from here.  It also seems to imply a definition of a "Francophone Canadian" (ie. a French Canadian not of French ethnicity) which is dubious and not clearly supported by secondary sources.

There are ethnic French Canadians who are not francophone, and there are francophone Canadians who are not ethnically French (e.g. Vietnamese, Maghrebi, Haitian, etc.) — so while "French Canadians" and "francophone Canadians" obviously have a high degree of overlap, they are not identical sets by any stretch of the imagination.
