Talk:WSP Global

message: Some recent changes maake this sound lik an advert.  Let's keep it neutral.Obina 19:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  neutral POV 

message: I am editor who made the changes and I work for WSP group as the Group web manager. The previous version of this page contained some errors which have now been corrected.
All the information I posted on this page is contained in publicly available publications - mainly annual reports. In wikipedia there are many construction projects in which WSP Group is involved, so I think more background information on the company is beneficial to all readers.
However, I will accept any further comments and changes that can make this page more informative.

replies: text: Thank you for coming out and admitting that you work for WSP Group.  Unfortunately, this represents a conflict of interest and your work will be subject to scrutiny.  I agree that this company is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia.  However, citing the company's info page is suspect at best; you need to add citations from published, secondary sources.  Also, it's unacceptable to create an External Links section full of links to various WSP Group websites.  Finally, you may add info to the article that is found on your company's website, but it must be reworded and made encyclopedic.  Otherwise it represents a copyright violation and will be removed.  For more info on these standards, please visit the pages referenced in the templates at the top of the article.  BowChickaNeowNeow (talk) 16:30, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The Blair Bitch Project

message: Ok.  I've created this article.  Some answers to questions that I'm sure are on your mind:
* No, this is not an attack page.
* Yes, the movie exists.  At least according to :IMDB.
* No, I'm not sure how notable it is, beyond having a famous actress (Linda Blair) in it.
* No, I haven't seen it.
* The info in the article is what I could glean from IMDB.  Hopefully there's more info to be had on it.
I'm adding this article because I found a link to it on :Linda Blair.

Talk:The Documents in the Case

message: CAN SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH SAYERS' CONSIDERABLE WORKS EXPAND ON THEMES IN THIS NOVEL?
This novel touches on other subjects-- yet these side tracks eventually lead persons (seemingly by accident) to information important to the case. 
For instance, Sayers wrote quite a bit about the importance of work in human lives. Lack of work; useful purpose can waste a good mind and lead the idle humans into trouble. This is the PRIME problem with Margaret (the young second wife) and her paid companion Miss Milsom--who might be seen as the instigators!
ART (painting art) and the ability of gifted artists to reveal truth comes up. Lathom, though he loves Margaret (his landlord's wife), still inadvertently reveals her silly shallow soul in his soon-famous portrait. The man may act dishonestly; he cannot paint dishonestly.
Perry (though a parson, was no fool - as Munting writes) is the most important minor character, The Rev. Perry tries to tactfully provide the trouble causing Miss Milsom with some creative work she would enjoy. At a party where Munting, the unwilling detective attends, Perry and his brilliant former school scientific friends have a rousing discussion about the origins of life from nonlife. Here Munting will get a critical lead--which is so subtle that he could say nothing, and the murderer would get off free. 
I put these thoughts here because they might seem to border on "original research" tho anyone familiar with Sayers mysteries, translations of Dante, plays, theology, and other writings would recognize these themes.Victorianezine (talk) 21:23, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Standard Ten

message: Does anyone know if the Standard 8/10 produced during the 1950s had a separate chassis?   If it did, it might be something worth highlighting in the wiki-entry.  A separate chassis was definitely a much trumpeted feature of the Triumph Herald which was in effect the successor model.   Competitor models launched during the 1950s increasingly came with "monocoque" bodies - everything welded together and no separate chassis, with a lot of the rigidity of the overall structure coming from the roof and other body panels.   If the little Standard did have a separate chassis that might explain why the estate version - the Standard Companion - came with separate doors for the people sitting on the back seats, while competitor estate cars in or near the same size - Ford Squire, Hillman Husky, Morris Minor Traveller - required people sitting in the back to clamber over the front seats (backrests suitably tilted).

Talk:Linda S. Stein

message: Why is there a picture of Linda Stein's DAUGHTER and not Linda herself? The article is not about the daughter. Better to have no photo at all in this case.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.251.169.69 (talk) 21:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Photo

message: The new name appears to violate WP:NCP, which says "Adding middle names, or their abbreviations, merely for disambiguation purposes (that is: if this format of the name is not the commonly used one to refer to this person) is not advised." See also Help:Pipe trick for another reason to use parenthetical disambiguators. In this case, I moved it here last year on the presumption that she was best "known" as the Ramones manager and her real estate career, while somewhat notable, was more discreet. I'm not really sure that "Ramones manager" is the best way to disambig her now, so I'm not yet making this a requested move. (Unfortunately, the old page has already been mistakenly edited by anons, so as a non-admin I can't just move it back.) I'm open to other ideas, though. Also unfortunately, we can't use "Linda Stein (New York)" as the artist Linda Stein is also from NYC. --Dhartung | Talk 20:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: CNN provides one example of why "Ramones manager" may still be warranted as an identifier -- it's in their headline first. --Dhartung | Talk 20:24, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The New York Times article seems to use "Linda S. Stein" frequently. I personally don't think "Linda Stein (Ramones manager)" is a big improvement over "Linda S. Stein." The Ramones article currently doesn't mention her, although it does state "After garnering considerable attention for their performances at CBGB's, the group was signed to a recording contract by Seymour Stein of Sire Records in Autumn 1975." The Seymour Stein article describes her as "music promoter and real estate executive." The CNN article says she "co-managed the Ramones with Danny Fields during the band's heyday." The New York Times article said she "was a co-manager of the Ramones" and "(reinvented) herself in real estate." There are also exceptions against using middle initials in article titles at WP:NCP, John F. Kennedy for example. She's apparently notable for two different things, so I think "Linda S. Stein" is okay. Just some thoughts. --Pixelface 02:22, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Semi-contrabassoon

message: It seems that recently someone added some incorrect information about the semi-contrabassoon (a largely obsolete historical instrument a fourth or fifth higher than the contrabassoon), confusing it with the subcontrabassoon (a not-yet-complete modern instrument an octave below the contrabassoon).  I believe adding a page for subcontrabassoon would be premature, considering the instrument is still in an early prototype stage.  Plus, since I'm the one building it I couldn't add a page without it being original research.  But we do at least need the semi-contrabassoon page to be accurate to its intended topic, so some other users and I removed the subcontrabassoon information.  More pertinent to the semi-contrabassoon topic would be the recent efforts by Bret Newton to build a modern semi-contrabassoon a fifth above the contrabassoon, which he is calling the "greatbassoon".  However, this project is (similarly to the subcontrabassoon) still in the early stages so it's probably necessary to wait for better citable sources before incorporating it into the article.

Talk:Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, alpha

message: Biophys, I'm not sure I agree with the decision to move PITPNA to Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein.  There are actually several forms of phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins.  PITPNA is the "alpha" version, PITPNB is the "beta" version, etc.  I believe that each gene deserves its own page.  I would propose moving this page to Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, alpha, redirect PITPNA to that page, and reserve Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein for either a disambiguation page, or a general discussion of the protein family.  Thoughts?  AndrewGNF 20:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your suggestion is good if you are going to also make a general or at least disambig. page. If not, it would be better to have a page about family. So, please do whatever you think is better.Biophys 20:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Vyf Rand

message: I received the following e-mail from the managing director of Leadership Outreach Namibia in response to a request for coordinates.  I understand this is not a verifiable source nor a secondary source, so for what it's worth, here you go:
Hi Travis,
Vyf Rand (Five Dollar) is located 3.5 km SSE of Okahandja, Namibia; the of the settlement is precisely at the following latitude/longitude:
Latitude:        22˚ 0’31.76” S
Longitude:      16˚ 55’36.35” E
Vyf Rand is an informal settlement, which originated as a group of workers’ dwellings on a farm.  As more and more friends and relatives arrived, it morphed into an informal settlement (the politically correct term for squatter’s camp”).  It currently has approximately 3000-4000 residents.  The name is derived from the original fee the farmer charged families per month for water.
Hope this helps.
Lon Garber
Pastor, Northland A Church Distributed
Managing Director, Leadership Outreach Namibia
Director, Hope’s Promise Orphan Ministries
:This information looks reliable. As there is now a project page on the camp and connected projects I think the "expert needed" template can go. Sure, it is still not a reliable secondary source, but on a squatter camp you will not easily find much else. I did find some more news coverage, though, which I will add soon. --Pgallert (talk) 14:25, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Anozinizing

message: People who read the quote:
"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing [sic] our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"[28]
Have no idea what the context is for the word 'anozinizing'.  Simple searches on google reveal articles with the quote, and once in a while someone in the comments section who 'gets' the reference it holds to scientology.  Until a proper discussion is held I am reinstating the page.  If it is decided that the word anozinizing needs to be incorporated into a separate article I will be happy to help with that process. 
Until such time, anozinizing should hold it's own page on Wikipedia with an ongoing discussion into the relevancy of said page.--DanaLynn07 20:49, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the basic question is, how much should we really care whether a reader has "context" for a word that a South Park writer made up on the fly for the purpose of one silly joke? Come on, don't trivialize Wikipedia. Even if the point weren't trivial, it would still be personal speculation on your part -- you don't have a reference that says "Parker and Stone made up this word to satirize Scientology's use of language" -- but that's actually a secondary issue here; even if you did have such a reference I'd be against putting it in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a resource for explaining people's jokes. --Trovatore 01:09, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
