Talk:Regina's historic buildings and precincts

message: Far be it from me to get in the way of the world's slowest edit war, but is there a chance editors could come to the talk page to discuss the header for the footnotes section?  A quick look at Wikipedia:Layout suggests to me that "Notes" is the recommmended header for the section, but if I'm wrong on this, I'm open to having it explained to me. --Sturm 19:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

message: C'mon… "is now being intelligently developed along commercial lines with the historic buildings jealously retained."
No sources and definitely not NPOV.  If you want to quote the mayor saying it's intelligent or that the city plan is "jealous", fine (dig up the sources); but an encyclopedia can't use this type of language in this way.

message: In the article, under the subtitle 'Germantown Proper' there is an item suggerting that the Jewish community in Regina is diminishing. The suggested 'reasons' seem to be excuses only. i believe that our city is able to support a vital Jewish community. The absence of a resident Rabbi seems to be a symptom of decline. I wish to hear (or read) from others with similar sentiments. RCNesland (talk) 08:51, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Given there's not even an infobox, how does this meet the quality standards of a B-class article? The title of the article doesn't even sound encyclopedic.

replies: text: I don't remember if I've seen this.  Regardless, the plot needs to be pruned down to around half its current length.  Per our manual of style, plots should be between 400 and 700 words long.  This one is about 1300 words.  I reduced the overlinking, but I didn't really address the length of the plot.

Talk:National Security Bureau (Taiwan)

message: I feel sorry that the other user removed the quote I picked up from "The Recruit" (2003).
It is said by the character Walter Burke played by Al Pacino:
"The Agency's failure may be known to the public but our success must remain unknown!"
The intelligence community in Taiwan always receive controversial comments. Sometimes, I would think those officials in Taiwan security units are like the other quote by James Clayton (Colin Farrell):
"All I know about the CIA is that they're a bunch of fat, old white guys who fell asleep when we needed them most."
However, looking back to the first quote and giving the devil his due, I would suggest the commentator against the Taiwanese intelligence community may want to slow down their criticisms if it is possible. Chcyang (talk) 08:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyright violation

message: 1) A cursory internet search only returns IMDB and other unaccaptable 2ndary sources. The Rottten Tomatoes page lists five reviews, five review of no note or national standing or significance.
2) The IMDB reference and others do not meet notability guidelines per WP:NOTFILM
3) There is no full-length featured newspaper articles from large circulation newspapers or full-length magazine reviews and criticism reviewing the film.
4) The film appears not to be widely distributed in the US and it has not received full length reviews by two or more nationally known critics. It is straight to DVD release so there is no box office of note or opening weekend news.
5) The film is not historically notable.
6) The film was is not considered notable by a broad survey of film critics, academics, or movie professionals.
7) The film has not bee featured as part of a documentary, program, or retrospective on the history of cinema.
8) The film has not received a major award for excellence in some aspect of filmmaking.
9) The film has not been selected for preservation in a national archive.
10) As far as a internet search is concerned, the film is not "taught" as a subject at an accredited university or college with a notable film program.
11) The film does not represent a unique accomplishment in cinema, a milestone in the development of film art, or contributes significantly to the development of United States cinema.
12) The film does not have any actors of note.
I beleive this film should be given a prod tag. It does not meet notability requirements of WP:NOTFILM and should be nominated for deletion. Barton Foley (talk) 18:41, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Falkland

message: I would disagree with the removal of all of those items.  A common cause of confusion is the name of the island ground and the two largest islands sharing the name Falkland, along with the main channel between them.  In addition Viscount Falkland, a Scottish peerage title, named after Falkland, Fife, Scotland seems not to be sensible, since the islands are in fact named after Lord Falkland.  I'm not going to argue the toss over the other links but think these three examples should be restored.  WCMemail 11:53, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added the two largest islands to the description of 'Falklands Islands'. Do you think separate entries are needed? I'm not sure why a reader would search 'Falkland' looking for one of the islands. We don't list North America and South America at America. Rob (talk | contribs) 13:05, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

text: Also, there's no entries here that are referred to as 'Falklands' or 'Falkland Islands' except the islands themselves, so I'm unsure as to why we need a link to this page at Falkland Islands. Rob (talk | contribs) 13:07, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, I added a couple of wikilinks to the two main islands - it serves a purpose in this case I feel and did the same with America.  I tend to agree on the reference to Falklands in the disambiguation being unneeded but people like to add a stray "s" and I got fed up removing it.  Its gone for now but I expect someone will add it again.  There is a need for the link here.  WCMemail 15:53, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I'm unsure as to why Boys and Girls Brigade are included in this list.  As far as I know they don't consider themselves scouts - indeed the movement predates Scouting.  As far as I know they are not WOSM affiliated.  They have a different founder who they are very proud of.  They may be a youth organisation that is organised in a very similar way to Scouts and share many aims and objectives but as far as I know they shouldn't be on this list.

Talk:Sultan Ahmed Ismail

message: Was wondering if Ahmed is his middle name or part of his first name. I remember from the days in New College that it was his first name. As per  norms of naming the article it should be first name and second name, rather than avoiding the part of the person's first name. Even in his papers he either mentions as SA Ismail or Sultan Ahmed Ismail. So this page should be named Sultan Ahmed Ismail rathern than Sultan Ismail. ώiki Ѕαи Яоzε †αLҝ 03:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Funk, Nebraska

message: I've removed a photo of a Funk postmark from this article.
There are certainly situations in which we'd want to use a photo of a postmark—for example, a holiday cancellation for Valentine, Nebraska or Santa Claus, Indiana, or a first-day cancellation on a stamp commemorating a local resident, historical event, etc.  
This is not the case here: the photo depicts an everyday postmark.  Apart from the town's name and ZIP Code, there's nothing about it particular to Funk.  It doesn't reflect the town's size, economic vitality, local geography, or anything else of interest to encyclopedia readers.  Ammodramus (talk) 23:30, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
