Talk:Elizabeth Ann Blaesing

message: This biographical article has been resubmitted because it is my belief that Wikipedia exists not to carry articles only about the famous, but to provide verifiable information on topics that people may have questions about.  Before nominating this article for deletion because Blaesing's ties to Warren G. Harding have never been accepted by his heirs, or verfied by DNA or legal action, it is important to note that the belief that Harding fathered Blaesing is pervasive in the American public mind.  Therefore, Wikipedia should be place where people can turn to get reliable information on the topic. Stu 15:45, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  'The Strange Death of President Harding' 

message: Why is she named "Harding" when her mother did not marry her father? The article says the birth certificate was wrong, when it was actually correct - she was an illegitimate child so the doctor or clerk used the mother's name. There is no source shown stating that she "used" her father's famous name. While the article lists four sources, none of them are used on the middle section about the woman's life. And, of course, this woman achieved nothing notable and attempted nothing notable, so there is no reason for her to have a Wikipedia article.Browntable (talk) 20:26, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Game mapping

message: Okay, about the images.  There are an unusually large number of them, and in case anyone feels the need to edit them, here are my thoughts on them.
* absolutely need some sort of puzzle game, as level layout is of paramount importance in those games.  Lemmings will suffice, as it's very well-known
* pinball, similar to puzzles, but in addition has all sorts of special entities packed into one screen ("player start", a losing zone, teleport spots, and "coins" and triggers galore)
* command and conquer, anyone touches that image, and I'll hunt them down.  Level mapping doesn't have a tremendous impact on RTS's, except for 1) cliffs, 2) rivers, and 3) bridges (especially deformable ones).  This picture is a perfect example of how map layout affects RTS play.
* infocom, I also feel somewhat strongly that a text game should be included, to make a person think about think more about some of the abstract ideas in mapping (eg. door, trigger).  Any MUD or text game will do, though Infocom's are the best known.
* doom, I like that shot because it includes ammo, a door, and a monster, though any 3D game that includes a couple of different entities will do
The others, I can make a case for, but the first 5 are the ones I strongly believe should stay (in some form or another, improvements that keep most of these features would be great, of course).  --Interiot 16:58, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 11 November 2019 

message: With regard to this edit I am at a loss to understand exactly what it is about the phrase "but clarifying that it could be reopened"  (where "it" is "the sexual harassment case") that is biased. It would be misleading to the point of dishonesty to imply that the case was closed once and for all, so the information has to be there. The question is what it is in the phrasing that is biased; how do you suggest it be changed without removing the information? On the other hand, "Female singer Hema Sardesai came out in support of Anu Malik, pointing out at the absurdity of the accusers." is biased in two distinct ways: it implies that the gender of the singer is relevant to her opinions and statements, and it flat out asserts that the accusers were absurd ("point out" is used to state something that is considered to be true.)  
In addition, the source (here) does not support the content. It is simply a copy of a long Instagram post made by Sardesai (no discussion or analysis by any independent person, only a brief introductory paragraph and then the primary text), and she doesn't make any comments on the accusations. She says... well, it is hard to understand just what she says, but she seems to be basing her argumentation on the fact that Malik's music is wonderful and singing it has led her to great success. (That is indeed coming out in support of him, but has nothing to do with any criticism against him).  She also seems to say that because she has previously said she wouldn't compromise her principles, it follows that Malik must be a good person (though that is really rather unclear).  And finally she says that the accusers should have spoken out earlier (see victim blaming), and that other music directors are not good people.

thread_title:  The Jungle Book (2016 film) reference 

message: According to this oral history of the sketch, with all of the major participants discussing its creation, the Saturday Night Live cast and director all appear to agree that the sketch was written by Chris Parnell, who revised it over the course of several years. The Wikipedia entry inaccurately attributes its writing to Will Farrell. Instead, his major contribution conceptually, aside from his performance, was deciding to wear a shirt that was too small, exposing his belly as he played the cowbell. As one of the most famous comedy sketches of all time, it seems like credit should be accurately given to the actual writer, Chris Parnell, who worked on it for several years' time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.130.226.113 (talk) 06:01, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:List of Quebec provincial highways

message: When were the highways renumbered?  My guess would be about 1970, but I don't really know.  Also, I thought I remember that the 100-200-300 numbers indicated the importance and/or quality of the road and not their geographical relationship to the St Lawrence River ...  Anyone have answers?  --N5UWY/9 - plaws

replies: text: As noted elsewhere, the Secondary Roads were designated to coordinate with the Primary roads and Autoroutes following Expo 67...some were previous minor provincial highways, others just secondary roads, some were former routes superceded by Autoroutes, etc. The numbering system just following the pattern in the USA of their Interstates, with the event Quebec would become an independent state....

replies: text: You missed my point.  I was certain that I'd learned (in driver ed (in 1979, just after the first big re-write of the Highway Code) that 100s were primary (after Autoroutes), 200s were secondary, and 300s were tertiary.  MTQ's site now clearly says that 200 and 300 are both secondary and that the difference is geographical.  --N5UWY/9 - plaws 22:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  200/300  

message: The MTQ always uses Route X in French, but mostly Highway X in English; it appears Route is French for Highway. As for the pre-1970s numbers, I have a scan of part of a 1935 (official?) map that includes a drawing of a shield, with Route above the number. It is labeled Numére indicateur de route and Road Marker.
So whatever we decide on, we should probably use the same convention for pre-1970s and post-1970s. This won't cause conflicts due to the numbering. But do we want to use Route (the French word, which happens to be a word in English) or Highway (the translation that MTQ uses, at least on their site)? --SPUI (T - C) 12:11, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
