Talk:Taylor Range

message: Sir Samuel Griffith Drive is not a crossing of the range, it is in fact a circular road running along the foot of the mountain looping up and running basiclly along the ridge of the mountain to the lookout back to meet itself again at the Mt Coot-Tha quarry. Scenic Drive also runs up the Eastern Side of Mt Coot-Tha. there is a road crossing the range from Kenmore to The Gap, called Gap Creek Rd. also Wardell St(Ashgrove to Enoggera) crosses to the east and Settlement Rd(The Gap to Keperra) crosses to th west of Enoggera Hill(which is a separate part of the range)

message: MT Coot-tha drops away in the east to the much lower lying suburb of toowong. the text states as Follows "Further east along the range is Enoggera Hill. The range becomes a series of hills through the Brisbane suburbs of Red Hill, Spring Hill to Wickham Terrance in the Brisbane central business district". enoggera hill is within the suburb boundary of ENOGGERA as per the brisbane ubd map 138 ref co-ord D13, this branch of the range runs through the suburbs of The Gap/Keperra, enoggera,Newmarket,wilston, windsor, albion and ascot/hamilton.
the hills refered to at red hill are not on the same branch of the range as Mt Coot-tha either, they run through the suburbs of bardon paddington, then RED HILL to SPRING HILL.

Talk:Slow Motion (Third Eye Blind song)

message: Now, I can't be sure, but it always seemed to me that this song was a satirical protest of sorts. The fact that the lyrics are so obscenely violent yet are posed to such a mellow tune seems to emphasize the absurdity of the lifestyle described--not that it's false, but that no one should have to live like that. 
I'd like to hear what others think of this concept.
Someone had assumed that the song was against rappers and their lifestyles being violent... I have seen nor read anywhere that supports this idea.  Nowhere in the song is anything mentioned about rappers specifically, so this false statement seems to be unfair and uncredited.  I believe, and could be wrong, that it is simply about media and how much Hollywood glamorizes violence in order to make a profit off of it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by GdfthrJohntheDon (talk • contribs) 18:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is this 'not notable'?  This song redefined the group and resulted in a million dollar lawsuit.  It is an example of censorship and as a result is notable off of the album in its own right.  A redirect to Blue would ignore the controversy this song provoked.

replies: text: What million-dollar lawsuit? The article makes not mention any lawsuit. This is the article in a nutshell: "This is a song (that was not released as a single) that had violent lyrics so the record label pressured the band into releasing it as in instrumental, except for the chorus. The version with all the lyrics was released outside of the US, and then, eventually, in the US." The one source for the article is not a reliable souce, either. If you can find verifiable information from reliable sources about this million-dollar lawsuit, by all means add it to the article. Otherwise, it will go back to being a redirect.

replies: text: I think it would survive AfD easily. A google search turns up a lot of things. Given it was controversially built in a UNESCO World Heritage area and is now controversially kept closed to cars (walkers and cyclists can use it in practice because they can bypass the gates installed), I'd be suprised if there wasn't a fair bit of newspaper coverage at certain times (e.g. every time a cyclone swings past Cairns people call for Quaid Road to be opened as an evacuation route).

Talk:Saibai Island

message: This article is tagged as having been unreferenced since January 2008. Much of the anthropological "information" could only be found in other online places where they are derived from Wikipedia. This means that whether it is true or not, it has become "well known". As such, I have reduced the length of the article significantly.
Anybody adding material based on online sources should be careful that they are not just putting back material that originated in this unsourced article. Topics to be wary of include
* great enemies being traditionally the Kupamal and Thugeral
* the "sacred Adhibuya stone"
* Zaman Wislin cult

thread_title:  removal of unreferenced information of dubious quality 

message: The article currently says:
"Letters Patent were issued by the British government in 1872 creating a new boundary for the colony which encompassed all islands within a 60 nautical mile radius of the coast of Queensland. This boundary was further extended to 96 kilometres (60 mi) by the Queensland Coast Islands Act 1879 (Qld) and included the islands of Boigu, Darnley, Murray and Saibai, which lay beyond the previous 60 nautical mile limit."
This is inconsistent, because 96 kilometers (and 60 statute miles) are less than 60 nautical miles, and "miles" without qualification normally means statute miles. It's possible that the intended meaning is that the nautical mile limit was left unchanged, but that Boigu, Darnley, Murray and Saibai (which lie beyond the boundary) were added. If so, it would be simpler to just say that "Boigu, Darnley, Murray and Saibai (which lie beyond the original boundary) were added by the Queensland Coast Islands Act 1879 (Qld)."
It's also possible that the intended meaning is that the boundary was reduced to 60 statute miles from the coast, but that Boigu, Darnley, Murray and Saibai were added. Or maybe there is some other possible interpretation. I have no idea, and can't easily get the cited materials to check. It would be good if the original author could clarify.

message: This article needs considerable beefing up. There are almost no facts of importance than Karunagappally is located at Kerala, India.
I've removed the edit which said about Thevalakkara. Of course such details are important, but if we start mentioning the places that are at proximity to Karunagappally, we will have to fill in pages with information about Bharanikkavu, Alumkadavu, Azheekkal.... and the list would be very large.
The references about Kollam and Kayamkulam were given since they were major towns and was connected with Karunagappally through the National Highway.

Talk:Janet Mead

message: Although this "fact" is quoted widely and referenced in the article, it cannot possibly be true as stated.

Wikipedia talk:Ignore all uses of "ignore all rules"

message: How do you ignore someone ignoring the rules? By letting them do so? By shunning them? What? 
Or are you trying to say, WP:IAR is a permission, but not an argument in and of itself. 
Also, it seems a bit rude to add links to your essay to other places which disagree with yours, without also linking back, doesn't it? --Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 13:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: In reply to the revert of my edit, I'll explain what I found lacking here.
Many people use the argument of "ignore all rules" in talk pages and process pages without really understanding the rules they think should be ignored.
Obviously people do understand a rule if they realize that it must be ignored in order to implement the desired changes.
The vast majority of times, rules should not be ignored.
That was the best point of the old version, but it didn't touch on why this is so, which I did in my edit.
This is not a refutation of IAR, but rather, an ironic interpretation: as "ignore all rules" is a rule, it, too, is subject to being ignored.
Logically it should never be necessary to ignore IAR in order to improve Wikipedia. But you need to take into account "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia", not just "ignore it". That was the point my edit made. PSWG1920 (talk) 02:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks! I picked up Offenberg's book Kommunismus in Palästina from a local library, i will add more details later this week to this article and related articles. I core question that my German skills aren't good enough to answer fully is whether to consider the PKP as founded in 1919 or 1924? In 1919 MPS was founded, on initiative of the Vienna-based Organizational Bureau of the Poalei Zion. This party changes name to MPSI and in 1921 (according to Halliday) to 'Jewish Communist Party - Poalei Zion, section of the Palestinian Communist Party' (full name according to Offenberg). In 1922 there is a split, into PKP and KPP. PKP and KPP are unified in 1923. Are we to see both the PKP and KPP as new parties, or to see PKP as the original party founded in 1919 and KPP as the splinter-group? Halliday's wordings indicate that the two would be equally representative of the JKP-PZ, but I'm not 100% sure. And what about Poalei Zion Smol, when did that group split away from MPS/MPSI/JKP-PZ?  indicates that PKP after the 1922 split retained its bonds to the international PZ movement. --Soman (talk) 09:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
