Talk:ImgBurn/Archive 1

message: The subject of DVD Decrypter would seem to tie in with an interesting phenomenon I have noticed on P2P Gnutella networks in the category of movies per file sharing. It would seem that a program containing a virus - trojan horse or various other types - can be found disguised under the title of nearly every major release movie title. These executable programs are fairly easy to identify - they are always between 200 to 300 KB in size, are always exe. programs rather than movie or avi files, and always are listed as T-1 or T-3 download speeds. 
From what I understand about those particular download speeds, they involve large corporation networks rather than being for the average home PC user. I began at once to wonder exactly who, working with those high speeds, would want to go to the trouble of taking the time and expense involved in planting the viruses in so many file sharing networks - and always under major movie titles. Who would stand to gain by engaging in such a pastime? Who has the time using a corporate computer system to dally in the joyful contribution of virus-spreading throughout Gnutella clients?
Who, indeed? 
Suddenly after learning the fate of DVD Decrypter, it came to me. There IS a certain culprit who would have the motive, time, money, and means.
Enter the very same initially unnamed company that threatened legal action against the creator of DVD Decrypter, or similar counterparts? It certainly makes sense to me.Royopo 05:36, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Right now I think we should do the following with the article until further confirmation: leave his death date as 2008 but with a question mark beside it; mention the report of his death in the introduction; and in the section on his alleged death we should mention any pertinent information that the Colombian Defense Minister has offered concerning the circumstances surrounding Marulanda's possible death.

message: I have reassessed this article for Wikiproject Christianity as C low. The research and attention to detail on this article is excellent, but what keeps it from B class in my view is that it is not sufficiently attentive to the needs and interests of the general reader. It starts strong, but the descent into acronyms feels sudden and disorienting, and the comprehensive list of bishops (active and retired!) feels unnecessary for this sort of article. Meanwhile, other things that may be of more interest to a general reader---questions of theology and social involvement, for example---are entirely absent. Kudos to SAWassen and others for the strong development. Brian (talk) 00:51, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Nola Fraser

message: It is especially important on biographical pages to demonstrate due care when adding, removing or modifying text. Facts and opinions should not be muddled, and opinions should be qualified as such and used only when appropriate.
Any statements, especially any potentially contentious ones, must have proper referencing. Peer-reviewed independent sources are always to be preferred. News articles must be treated with some caution, particularly when they stray into opinion, and should generally not be relied on alone.
Caution must also be taken when citing reports and other secondary material in giving misleading or distorted claims, for example to ignore contradicting or qualifying information to favour just one POV. This is especially the case in political matters, where agendas can commonplace.
A wholistic view is to be preferred over a selective one. This article has suffered previously from heavy lack of balance, that has failed to properly cite quality references and has taken a narrow selective view rather than a generalist one. 101.176.26.217 (talk) 10:13, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

If and how do they differ significantly from other watches?), and "Many watches have been taken out of production either completely or replaced by a similar style of watch." seems like something that would apply to every brand of watch ever made.
