Talk:Dizzy Gillespie

message: I removed all "hises" but the first from the opening sentence of "His beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, his scat singing, his bent horn, pouched cheeks, and his light-hearted personality provided some of bebop's most prominent symbols." Could anyone please tell me if it's okay to list something like "his table, his chair, and his lamp" in a sentence, or if it's more acceptable to just use the possessive pronoun once? Also, sorry to be passive-aggressive to whoever wrote that sentences, or just the "hises", in my edit note. I originally wrote a version of this on the help desk, but then deleted it when I realized it would be better to ask it here first, since other users have told me to do that and this page seems to indicate that I should.--Thylacine24 (talk) 16:46, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Viktor Yushchenko/Archive 1

message: ATTENTION PEOPLE!
As a Ukrainian journalist and one of Yushchenko's supporters, I insistently ask all of you TO AVOID P.O.V. PUSHING, UNBALANCED WRITING AND OVERINFORMING, not only on his page, but also everywhere regarding Ukraine. He is not a Saviour, and Ukraine is not an ideal nation as some of you are likely trying to show. This is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. If we don't keep ourselves in neutrality limits, less informed readers may consider us the propagandists of a loosing side. And please, be more professional in updating serious non-event articles like Politics of Ukraine. Best wishes, AlexPU
Much of the biography section is from http://www.rol.org.ua/eng/newsitem.cfm?unid=20, some word for word.  I don't think this warrants a copyvio notice, since not everything is exactly the same, but it should be reworded. -Frazzydee|✍ 23:16, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Other meanings of the word 

message: As far as I can tell, the term "back-fire" originally referred to the old firefighters technique (the equivalent of modern controlled fires), and not a flintlock musket. It wasn't given that meaning until after it had acquired the more common one of flames comin out of car engines in the early 20th century.

Talk:The Conference of the Birds

message: Just a heads up that the synopsis section of this page spoiled the book for me a bit - the central pun on the Simorgh being the thirty birds that survive is a plot twist I hadn't reached yet in my own reading of the book. But because the synopsis is part summary, part commentary, I read the spoiler before getting to the part in my own reading. It might be worth re-organising the synopsis so it is similar to synopsis sections for other works of literature, so readers who do not want the ending spoiled can skip it.

User: Amanda C 11:08, 27 April 2008(MHS)
The white board was Richard III's badge. He was a Yorkist but it was not the symbol of the House of York. The sun in splendour, the white rose, the falcon and fetter-lock were badges of the House of York. 
Also, the red rose was not the symbol of Lancaster. It was a later invention by the Tudors. That needs to be changed as the men did not wear red roses (or even white roses for that matter), they wore their master's livery badge.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.96.150.108 (talk) 18:38, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

* A new image. I felt that Gravity #1 was more appropriate and "heroic" if you will than #5.
* Firestar has been added to "Partnerships" due to appearances in three seperate titles.
* References have been tidied up.
* Some changes to "In other media" section. League of Losers is the only alternative version with any great importance to the character. The other minor and cameo appearances have been summarised so not to weigh down the contents box with unnecessary detail.

File talk:Fixingdino2.jpg

message: After several failed attempts to add the required GFDL tag to the original dino photo, in such a way that it would actually appear on the image page along with the ifd tag, I performed the following test:
* temporarily removed ifd tag, with explanation that it was a temporary test.
* added GFDL tag.  It worked -- the tag displayed on the page.
* re-added the ifd tag, per tag instructions to "keep it on the page".
* THEN, re-uploaded a new dino image (this one), with a new name, with complete copyright and license information, so the article does not appear to violate image policies while actually complying.
* REVERTED the article to its state before the images were removed.
* You should now be able to view GFDL license information, as well as thorough information concerning its owner, source, photo credit, description, and license information, on the image page and its talk page.
So what we've learned is this;  When an image is marked "ifd", a tag which MUST be kept and not removed, it is impossible to add the GFDL tag in such a way that it displays on the page.  This seems a bit strange.
Without the measures I took above, it would have been impossible to include the article on the page while providing information, as I was instructed to on the "ifd" tag.
If you are confused about this, please leave a message on my talk page.    
I have added a talk page to the original dino photo image and the new one, and have marked it "to watch this page."  I suggest we carry on any lengthy further discussions on one of those pages, in the interest of keeping your talk page free of chatter, and to make it easier to follow the measures being taken to document the image.   
Again, let me suggest that offering help would take care of any actual problems, keep the process efficient, and keep all efforts in the spirit of Wikipedia.  paul klenk 11:56, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
