message: Is there any better source that can be used for the first sentence in the first lead paragraph? I can't find anything about the author online and the website seems dubious at best. ~~~~ Mikeyosefj (talk) 06:18, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Improvement of first source? 

message: I know talk pages tend toward the technical rather than philosophical, and what I'm about to write may seem ambiguous, but does this page constitute a break down in authority, so to speak? Depending on so many disparate sources, and seemingly disallowing no source that is even plausibly journalistic, has produced a busy, incoherent mess of an entry.
I'm not trying to be regressive, but isn't accuracy, authority, concision and clarity what elevates and encyclopedia above a fan created wiki? This page is inaccurate, dodgy, rambling and an utter bramble of underqualified opinions and outright conjecture.

replies: text: I went through a few months ago to fix exactly that. There has been some other major additions since, but the main basis of my edits, at least, were to cut it down to only the discussion of the main movements and subgenres and the most influential and commercially visible moments, as well as removing all info accredited to unreliable sources or info that isn't verifiably from the sources cited. What specific parts do you see as a problem now? Because there is far, far less rambling than there was only back in June, and as far as I can tell everything is still cited directly how it is described in reliable sources.

message: The article First Fleet has a link to The Prince Of Wales, a ship (but the article is about the person).

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Genealogy

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

thread_title:  Genre 

message: As evident from several videos and concert footing, Breeders Safari; Breeders live on MTV
Kelley Deal often played a guitar with one string with The Breeders. It is technically true that rhytm guitar means playing several strings at atime; it is also technically true that with one string, you can only play lead (single notes at a time); finally, it may be hard to reach consensus to define that an instrument with just one string is no longer a guitar.
Still, the overall impression is that "lead guitar" implies a performance so very far removed from playing a one-stringed guitar, that it should be commented on. Perhaps simply that she plays the "guitar". --Sponsianus (talk) 17:41, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

message: I've removed two statements that indicate that the name "Nifty Fifty" ever referred to an "historic benchmarking index." I don't think it did.

The first statement is
The second is
It contain a generic citation to a whole book, I book I know well: Burton Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street. This book does contain a discussion of the Nifty Fifty "craze," and it clearly is only an informal name for "four dozen or so" stocks. There is no reference to any Nifty Fifty "index."
The S&P 500 began in 1957. The predecessor to the S&P 500 was not called the "Nifty Fifty." It was called "the S&P Composite Index," and in 1957 it had 90 stocks in it, not fifty. I'm not sure when the S&P Composite was finally discontinued; there were a few years of overlap.

Talk:Deep Ecology

message: This "article" appears to be one really long quote. How about a real article that describes what this is, instead of euphemistic self-promotion? --Magnus Manske 21:36 Dec 9, 2002 (UTC)
Yes this needs to be deleted or at least extensively rewritten so that the original copyright is no longer valid. The article as is cannot be changed since it is one long quote (the fair use aspect of the length is also a factor to consider). Therefore there is no reason for us to have it. --mav
I disagree. 1. A mission statement of an organization is a valid part of the description of an organization. 2. the articles are stubs 3. the articles are linked together contrasting or complementing one another: Darwin, Social Darwinism, Peter Kerpotkin, Social Ecology, Deep Ecology 4. I would think that mission statements are reproducable. I will look a bit more at the copyright later.  Karl
Should the "E" be capitalized? -- Zoe
Should this article still exist?  It is completely at odds with the Deep ecology page (lowercase 'e').  This page claims 'Deep ecology' is a spinoff of 'Deep Ecology', yet that page claims (and is supported by external sites) that the term 'deep ecology' was was coined by 'Deep ecology' founder Arne Naess.  (Yes, I'm confused, too)
This (the 'Deep Ecology') page makes no reference to any proponents of 'Deep Ecology' who might help distinguis thee two.  The individuals and groups mentions merely share some idels with 'Deep Ecology'.  A quick (30 min) scan of the web revealed no double meaning of the label.  (just Arne's 8 tenets)
The sole external link points to a non existant site. (deep-ecology.org)  This domain name is registered womenact.org (according to whois) whose website seems to be about relationships (particularly marriage) and contains neither 'deep' nor 'ecology' (according to google site search).
I'm not confident I'm right yet, but if noone here objects and I don't find any new evidence tomorrow, I'm going to look into how to get this page removed (I'm new to wiki) and maybe merge the few useful points into the other page.

Talk:Social ecology

message: The description on this page seems a bit radical compared to the current social ecology thinking.  I don't think current social ecology work is accurately described as 'anarchistic'.
* I agree with the comment above. I've been researching the concept of social ecology a lot for an essay, and there seems to be good evidence to say that there are at least 2 quite separate streams of development of the term:
** Bookchin's "social ecology" anarchist-related concept developed in the 1960s
** the concept of more directly applying ideas from plant and animal ecological thinking to human systems, which some trace to Robert_E._Park and others of the Chicago_school_(sociology), e.g. their 1925 book "The City".
* Any thoughts on this? I can provide some references that'd substantiate this view I think.

I have removed this reference, as it seems clear to me that this author is not a serious linguist.  In the same book, just one page later, he claims that the Hebrew name of Eve ("Havvah" = חַוָּה = chet-vav-heh) is derived from "ahavvah" (he means ahavah, אַהֲבָה = aleph-heh-vet-heh, with the root aleph-heh-vet), apparently because chet and heh are often transcribed with the same latin letter h, similarly for vav=v=vet.
