message: It looks like back in 2009, French-language forms for a number of parish names were added by an IP editor. More recently, another IP editor has been adding Spanish-language forms. I don't have an issue with that when there's contemporary or historical use of another language for the parish, especially if the form of the name changes (i.e., Red River Parish vs. ; but I'm much less sure of this for Tangipahoa Parish, both because the parish was formed long after French or Spanish rule and the only change is from "Parish" to "" or . Before I start some WP:BOLD reverting, I was wondering what others thought. Are French and Spanish forms appropriate for all Louisiana parishes? Or just for ones where there is reliably sourced contemporary or historical use. (And if the latter, what level of use should be considered; if the parish sheriff has a versions of its webpage in French, Spanish, Italian, and Vietnamese, do we need to put all those language forms up? Only when it changes the non-"parish" part of the name?). Thanks. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 19:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I disagree.  Slowpoke deserves his own page.  While he may not have appeared in many cartoons, he has become larger then life in that he has spawned much merchandise.  I myself have a number of items with him on it. One is a collecters glass from the 70's that sells for 50 plus dollars on ebay all the time.  I also don't feel that the volume of work should determine any real or ficional characters worthiness for their own Wiki page.  I would say your average person in America has heard of him, while thousands of real life people have their own page even though their obscure to all except their own small niche.

All the Sci-Fi channel has done was to take the side of fakery in keeping with the popular tradition of the Triangle legend, rather than do the responsible thing...and that being TO TAKE THE SIDE OF THE FACTS.

Talk:1983 Memorial Cup

message: There are a couple of clarifications that need to be made for this article.
First, regarding the reason the host Portland team being advanced to the championship game in the playoff round: the reason they advanced had nothing to do with the number of goals scored. Portland defeated both Oshawa and Verdun in the round-robin, meaning that was the tie-breaker if they were tied with either team. As it was stated in the article, the Winterhawks had defeated both teams but the hated Lethbridge club had lost to both, making the game between Portland and Lethbridge meaningless. 
Second, regarding Mike Vernon: Vernon was the goaltender for Calgary during the regular season and playoffs in the 1981-1982 season and was picked up for the 1982 Memorial Cup by the champion Winter Hawks. Then, for the 1983 postseason, Lethbridge claimed that they should get Vernon added to their team because they were the league champions while the Winterhawks claimed that Vernon should choose for which team he wanted to play. In the end, the Western Hockey League decided to let Vernon make the decision and he chose to play with the Winterhawks for the second straight Memorial Cup. Vernon stated, not long after the tournament, his two reasons for choosing Portland for the 1983 tournament. First, as a Calgary player, Lethbridge was a division enemy and he didn't like them, at all. Second, the Winterhawks teams both years were offensive-minded, which led to a lot of work for their goaltender. While they scored a lot of goals, they surrendered almost as many. Vernon said that he loved playing behind the Winterhawks because he knew he'd get plenty of work, facing 30 shots on goal or more per game. When he played for Calgary and in division games, there weren't a lot of shots on goal, 15-20 per game, and Vernon said that he got "bored" from facing so few shots. 
The 1983 Memorial Cup was the first of two hosted by Portland. Three years later, they hosted the tournament again but didn't even make it to the championship game. Portland has not hosted a Cup since. 
The Winterhawks would win the Cup 15 years later, in 1998. That tournament was played in Spokane, a division rival of Portland. Now, in 2013, 15 years later, Portland is on the precipice of winning the WHL title again and going to the Cup, which will be held in Saskatoon, which is yet another WHL city. If Portland defeats Edmonton in the WHL title series and wins the Cup, you could say that the Winterhawks scratched their "15-year itch".76.105.145.42 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 02:58, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Comrade General

message: This article has little value; as far as I can tell, Romanov refers to the "player" character as Comrade General simply because the player is a General and adding Comrade to the beginning makes the title seem stereotypically and humorously Russian. Perhaps the creation of a Player (Command & Conquer) article is in order (in order to encompass data about the player's resistance to mind control). Much of the back-story given here has no basis - the lone external link on the page has nothing to do with this article.
Thus I am redirecting from here to Red Alert 2, although I do not believe this will have a large impact as the (mis)information herein is not often sought. Should need for it arise, I reiterate: create a Player (Command & Conquer) article. Thanks, The Fish 18:29, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Yet another heavy metal band article where Eric Grief is listed as a former manager with no verification to back the claim up. Also he is the only manager listed for them. Why aren't any other managers listed for the band? Better yet, why is any manager at all being listed in the article? I mean, who cares who the manager of a band is?(except maybe the former manager himself who is trying to make a name for himself) Isn't it about the musicians and the music? I suggest we remove any reference to a manager at all. I have been looking at many other articles about bands across a wide spectrum of music and none of them mention managers. I mean, If a manager is noteworthy enough then he should have his own page. Right? If not, then leave managers off of the band pages I say. Discuss --Jackmantas (talk) 09:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't see what RFM (request for mediation) would be good for? Who would be mediating with who?
In this case, it seems like Creazysuit probably moved the page against consensus anyway. 
My reccomendation is this: if Creazysuit is still available to defend his actions at the time, perhaps we could ask him/her? Creazysuits mentor should be able to ensure we can reach a credible consensus.
If that is not possible, my suggestion is to just move the page back where it came from. --Kim Bruning (talk) 23:22, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
