message: Today User:SFTVLGUY2 again deleted the "synopsis", "references" and "external links" sections, with the edit summary "Removed red links".  I believe that this is clearly at odds with WP:LEAD and the article structure guidelines at WP:MUSICAL and other similar projects, as well as making it difficult to improve this article in the future.  I believe that the changes should be reverted.  Comments, please.  -- Ssilvers 18:29, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Juno Februata

message: This is how fakelore is perfectly innocently generated:
:"The month of February was sacred to Juno Februata.  Her feast day fell on February 15.  On this day, eligible young women wrote their names on slips of paper (called billets) and put them in a large bowl.  Each single man drew one billet.  The lady whose name was on the billet he drew was his partner for the day's erotic festivities.  These partnerships often resulted in marriage.
 
:"In 494 AD, Pope Gelasius I renamed Juno Februata's feast day.  It is now known as the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary.  The date was also changed to February 2.  To appease the pagans, the Church created a romantic holiday (Valentine's Day) on February 14."

message: This article has the bad habit of a lot of US military influenced pages where it takes the ridiculous jargon of the military, "power projection" and "strength gradient" etc., as given and doesn't explain how this language was developed, in response to what used to be called good old fashioned imperialism, imperial outposts, hegemony and the like. A history of the language, it's cultivation, and a better eye on resisting using the propagandistic implications of using it uncritically, would be useful here.

I have slightly changed the text to better reflect the source, which states  This is a bit confusing, and would not pass muster by the standards of modern linguistics, given that there is no single "Illyrian" family with Slavic and Romance branches. But we can take the latter to likely refer to the Dalmatian language. The former could be taken to refer to Serbo-Croatian, but it is probably more accurate to enumerate it as Croatian, given that the source enumerates  separately, and indeed in a different category (category III ), from "Illyrian" (category I, ).

Talk:Glenn Wheatley

message: The criminality must be in the opening paragraph, in line with other criminals in Wikipedia. This is because if someone attains a criminal record, it is then a defining aspect of that person. Also, some have objected to the word "disgraced" being used in his description. For starters, a criminal conviction is a disgrace in anyone's language. Second, Wheatley's defence team used the word disgrace, to say that the disgrace of it all is reason that he should be spared a jail term. Sure, people are fans of Wheatley and John Farnham, but really, a criminal conviction outweighs all that. 203.217.36.172 04:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree.  If a non-notable person gains a criminal record, then yes, their conviction is the defining aspect of that person.  Wheatley is already plenty notable and this conviction is todays news, but will be largely forgotten in a few days time.  His notability is defined by his career with The Masters Apprentices and his band management. —Moondyne 08:50, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think if you did a random survey of Australians on the street, and asked them "Who's Glenn Wheatley?" they'd say "He's that guy on tax fraud charges who went to jail". Try it with some young people. Chances are they won't be familiar with any Masters Apprentices songs. Also, the guy is now in prison. He's never going to live that down. Not many famous people go to jail, and when they do, the jail becomes an even more defining feature than otherwise. I don't think Wikipedia should give Glenn Wheatley special soft-touch treatment of the subject of his criminality, just because people like his music. Pigmypossum 11:12, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Godefroi de Leigni

message: The article states: "However French language scholar Roberta Krueger reads Godefroi as a scribal persona created by Chrétien himself, a "fictional clerky author figure conceived by [Chrétien]" to "tie up" his adulterous love plot in a homosocial literary bond that craftily ignores the heterosexual tension the work has sought to create." But that 1993 claim postdates a similar claim by David Hult from 1989. ALso, "French language scholar" sounds like a linguist, not a scholar of medieval French literature.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.27.69 (talk) 03:00, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

message: At the beginning of "Collapse of China" is this statement: "Chang always says that China is on the brink of collapse and that the people are one step away from revolution."
Aside from being non-factual (he doesn't "always say" that... we could say he "often states" that, or "For years he has predicted that"), it's not supported by the linked Al Jazeera article, which is about the US rejecting China's warning about meeting with the Dalai Lama.

replies: text: Specific predictions and their dates should be added. According to the page on his book, The Coming Collapse of China, he predicted the collapse of China in 2006, 2011, 2012, 2016, and 2017. It appears that his book (written in 2001) predicted the collapse of China between 2006 to 2011. Then in late 2011, he published this Foreign Policy article claiming China would collapse in 2012. I also found this prediction during his 2013 Fox Business appearance where he predicted China would crash in 2013-2014. The 2016 and 2017 predictions I'm not sure about, it could be referring to his 2016 National Interest article, and he does often do interviews where he predicts a coming collapse, such as this one and this one. 101.98.151.109 (talk) 19:53, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

"Neutron triple-axis spectrometry" when there is no article, yet, on Neutron spectrometry or Neutron spectrography ? 
By the way the phrase "Neutron triple-axis spectrometry" is not good English - and it looks like some sort of foreign language. "Triple-axis neutron spectrometry" or "Triple-axis neutron spectrography" are proper English because in the English language, adjectives are applied to nouns and pronouns in the order of less-specific to more specific. "Neutron" is a lot more specific that "triple-axis" is, because I can name you 25 different things that are "triple-axis".98.67.97.35 (talk) 01:24, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
