replies: text: Windows Live Messenger →  – Ten years after its end, I would argue that "MSN Messenger" is the appropriate title as per WP:COMMONNAME ("as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources"), as it's by far the more common name used for the program despite its latter-day renaming to "Windows Live" Messenger by Microsoft. The product hit its peak while under the former, original name. Here are some examples of recent 2020s sources which use the "MSN Messenger" name , , , . Even news sources from 2013-14, when the product got shut down and was using the "Windows Live" Messenger name, still used its old name, e.g. , , . I could scarcely find any reliable sources in the last ~10 years that used the "Windows Live" moniker as the primary title for the product. Also, the predominant colloquial name of simply "MSN" is inherently tied to the "MSN Messenger" name, and the entire Windows Live branding (of which "Windows Live" Messenger was a part) has been entirely discontinued by Microsoft. Lastly, our current article already has "MSN Messenger" as the primary name in the lede. — Crumpled Fire • contribs • 00:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Sniper team

message: This looks like a good article, but it seems that much information has been pulled from personal knowledge or experience. This article really needs some sources. JWAbrams (talk) 16:00, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Sources Needed

message: The article first suggests that the members of the sniper team switch positions in order to avoid fatigue, but then goes on to point out how spotter's roles are often ignored, and that spotters are often the smarter, more experienced of the team. This doesn't seem to be a neutral way of observing things. TransNique 10:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Elkanah

message: Removed the following material on this claim:
:From the point of view of most textual scholars, being a member of Ephraim is more likely - Ephraim was the dominant tribe within the Kingdom of Israel, and with Saul being the son of Elkanah, he could be expected to come from the dominant tribethough elsewhere Saul is described as being from Benjamin, this latter origin is though to be part of what was originally a distinct source text, usually referred to as the republican source, due to its political outlook; Jewish Encyclopedia, Books of Samuel.   
Reason: Not only does the cited source,, not mention this claim, the  "Elkanah" article in the Jewish Encyclopedia states the exact opposite as "fact":
:Elkanah is also represented in I Sam. i. 1 as hailing from the mountains of Ephraim, the word  here denoting this (comp. Judges xii. 5; IKings xi. 26)—if indeed  is not a corruption for "Ephraimite"—and not, as in Judges i. 2 and I Sam. xvii. 12, an inhabitant of Ephrata (see Lxx.). His genealogy is also found in a pedigree of the Kohathites (I Chron. vi. 3-15) and in that of Heman, his great-grandson (ib. vi. 18-22). According to the genealogical tables, Elkanah was, a Levite, a fact otherwise not mentioned in the books of Samuel. The fact that Elkanah, a Levite, was denominated an Ephraimite is analogous to the designation of a Levite belonging to Judah (Judges xvii. 7). [Emphasis added]

thread_title:  Claim that Elkhana was really a member of the tribe of Ephraim 

message: I prefer to put Bigamy than Polygamy, since it specifically refers to the custom of having two wives, not the custom of having more than one wife. There are several occasions in the Bible of two-wife-ness, but the custom of more-than-one-wife, by which is meant 3 or more, is not found until Solomon and David. A technical solution to any sense of inappropriateness for the term Bigamy due to allegedly criminal connotations would be to put bigyny (literally two-women, and paralleling polygyny for multiple women), though this would just confuse people completely. --User talk:FDuffy 22:50, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:L'Hoest's monkey

message: I took out mention of the Cameroonian population, which is now Preuss's Monkey. I was using an outdated source when I wrote it.  The other parts about its distribution were also probably dated. --Chroniclev (talk) 04:31, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: removed content

message: The L’Hoest’s monkey article is listed as a “C” article with mid importance.  There is no actual photograph, only an artist rendition.  The content is sparse, and the categories are limited to taxonomy, population, behavior, and physical characteristics.  The behavior category has the most information, and includes subcategories of breeding and diet.  There are brief statements on group living, communication, and activity patterns.  If sufficient data is available, the section and article can be improved significantly.  It appears that the article was started, but not fully finished.  This speculation is validated by the fact that there is one comment in talk section that was made in 2008.  Further, the article has only been edited six times since its creation, with the most recent edit occurring in April of 2011.  The limiting factor to the article will be the data available on the L’Hoest monkey.
