message: I removed the "peacock tag" as it's use and placement seems completely over the top considering the content, tone and focus of the article. There is nothing in this article about a place that does not exist in the vast majority of similar entries, and it does not seem to violate or abrogate the rules that can produce a "peacock" tag. Please do not change or place the tag back this article with this highly provocative tag without discussing it here and a consensus being reached (and please remember a consensus is not just you saying it and agreeing with yourself). I simply do not see any reasonable or rational justification for using the "peacock" tag in, with or for this entry. The Moody Blue (Talk) 21:04, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

message: I disagree with the way that a the county's Gaelic team colours are imposed on the image. It forces those of us who do not support Gaelic football but want to use the Londonderry infobox to adopt their team colours.
I propose the creation of an image with the gaelic colours for those who wish to use it and one without for those who do not.
Some may say the colours represent the county however they were created and are used by only one side of the community.

Talk:American Dreamz

message: Maybe I'm thinking irrationally but, isn't it Wikipedia policy to never assume a POV, no matter the situation? Was it ever officially released by the producers of this film that they are directly or intentionally parodying Simon Cowell, Ryan Seacrest, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney? I recently saw Willem Dafoe on Live! with Regis and Kelly whereas he was reluctant to officially state that he (or anyone involved) directly asserts a connection between this film and the Bush Administration or American Idol. I admit the connections are obvious, but doesn't assuming this disregard WP:NPOV policy? Unless the production company released a statement acknowledging the connections? Otherwise shouldn't we put "a possible connection"?. — CRAZY`(IN)`SANE 18:06, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

text: It's very hard to miss the references to Bush. It starts with the physical similarity  , continues with references to the war in Iraq, terrorists, and other events that happened during Bush's administration, but it continues with jokes that very obviously ridicule George W. Bush, like the time the president says "I just wanted to prove to my dad that any idiot could be the president...", and obviously the whole story line where the president doesn't have his own opinion and his advisors and speech-writers make all the decisions for him also relates to what is commonly said about Bush.

Talk:WVZA

message: The KISS-FM web site which used to be on Clear Channel's web farm is gone.  Since KISS-FM is a brand to which Clear Channel claims ownership rights, I'm taking the conservative approach to assume that Withers did not acquire rights to the brand and is not operating with that brand, without evidence to the contrary.  Withers' main web site does not list the stations on its web site, so I'm not able to confirm much of anything through verifiable sources.  The list of former employees is not appropriate since it is unsourced and not notable to the general public, but I'm not going to be the ogre to remove it.  I did remove the "on air" paragraph, as it doesn't make much sense.  Both programs are syndicated and not locally produced...  if this is an indication that the rest of the day is voicetracked or computers playing songs randomly, it was not clear.  Since the stations typically have a few months after a purchase while the owners line up new staffing, any programming now is likely not of any long term significance.StreamingRadioGuide (talk) 09:12, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Per my recent market visit (since Withers took over ownership), I can confirm that WVZA is still carrying the KISSFM brand name.

message: Statements regarding the broadcast quality of the station or relative quality versus another station, effect on local satellite radio sales, and effect on advertising sales would all need to be cited.

text: For the record, no, I don't work for the station or its owner, and I have no particular dog in this fight. While you may believe that the station is "unlistenable", that's a very subjective statement. However, broadcast quality is relevant, so it would be a useful addition if that problem has been reported in local media. Similarly, it would be extremely interesting and relevant if the swap had directly affected ad sales or been directly responsible for an increase in satellite radio sales — if true, I'd expect those facts would have been reported in local media and could be cited. That's all I'm looking for; can you back up the statements beyond saying that you know them to be true. If you can't, then they don't belong in the article, any more than a statement would that the swap had been the best thing since sliced bread and that the station's ratings were now going through the roof if it wasn't cited.

Talk:Roman Frederick Starzl

message: Starzl's "Hornets of Space" may show some influence from E.E. Smith's Skylark novels, and may in turn have influenced the Lensman series.  This is too speculative for a main article, but may be of interest for future researchers. Dr. Smith states in "The Epic of Space": 
Having the Lensmen's universe fairly well set up, I went through my collection, studying every "cops-and-robbers" story on my shelves... up to the stories of Starzl and Williamson, who wrote literature worthy of the masters they are. 
Below are some suggestive parallels. It is difficult, however, to see the basis for Dr. Smith's use of the word "master".

Talk:Chinese bronze inscriptions

message: I wish to point out the imprecision of calling a script "bronze" when in fact bronze is a medium in which characters have been cast from the mid Shang to the Han dynasty and onwards, with an incredible range of graphic structures and styles. That is, despite frequent references to a 'bronze script', there is no one such animal. If you are referring to bronze graphs from the Shang, a period in which strutures and styles on bronzes are fairly uniform, please write "Shang bronze"; if Zhou, pls. be even more specific when possible, e.g., "Early Western Zhou bronze graph" or "from the state of Qin in the late Warring States period" (the scripts were VERY different in different areas at that time). If you don't know which period it is but are referring to the one between the oracle bones and the small seal script, "writing on Zhou bronzes" or "Zhou bronze inscriptions" is far better wording than 'bronze script'.

thread_title: Untitled

message: FWIW I have removed the following two statements:
:To people not familiar with the Chinese characters as they are printed in books and newspapers, this cursive writing may seem impossible to decipher. Not so for the literate Chinese. By using the order of strokes clearly visible on the character, a literate person familiar with the characters can guess what the character really is.
::Stroke order cannot necessarily be discerned from the written character and does not play a role in reading. Reading is achieved in part by a "Gestalt" approximation to the regular paradigm, in part by context, and in part by the fact that the cursive approximations are not arbitrary.
:As is true with most alphabets, usually the most messy script writing is found in the writings of doctors.
::Not even funny.

Talk:Hagenbach-Bischoff quota

message: Could I propose moving the stuff about use as a quota for STV to the Counting Single Transferable Votes page since it is more relevent there (and is good stuff)?
:Thanks for the encouragement. I don't think that would be wise. The STV section is large on its own and I've also added equivalent sections to the articles on Droop quota and Hare quota. If this stuff was merged into Counting Single Transferable Votes that page would be overwhelmed. I think it's better for Counting Single Transferable Votes to have good summaries on each of the three quotas, with the exhaustive detail given on the quota articles themselves. When I get round to it I'll add a summary on the Hagenbach-Bischoff quota to Counting Single Transferable Votes.

message: Unless I'm being exceptionally dim, there is a problem with the scenario being painted in the relative merits of this quoto over Droop, although it eliminates a fairly uncommon potential problem of party voting, doesn't it lead the way to frequent ties.
After all, the order at which candidates in STV arrive at the quota isn't supposed to be expressive; thus althouhg all seats may be filled it would still be possible for the remaining candidate(s) to reach the quota, given sufficient transfers?  Unless you had virtually no cross party voting, this would be happening all the time, Shirley.--Red Deathy 12:01, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: v. Droop

message: Would this be a solution to resolve the tie as described in the 'Disadvantage of Hagenbach-Bischoff quota' section?;
After Andrea's surplus is transferred to Brad and Carter, both have 100 and are tied.
Now looking back at ALL the votes we see that:
75 votes prefer Brad over Carter
50 votes prefer Brad (after Andrea) over anybody else (including Carter)
25 votes prefer Carter over Brad
150 votes prefer Carter (after Andrea) over anybody else (including Brad)
So (75+50=) 125 votes prefer Brad over Carter/anybody else, and (25+150=) 175 votes prefer Carter over Brad/anybody else.
Following this logic Carter should win this tie. --92.67.128.131 (talk) 14:09, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
