How does a 21-24 year old kid on a practice squad need to take an extra job if he gets paid 80,000 a season.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.205.127.129 (talk) 23:03, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The last part of the following sentence appears to be highly misleading:
They have free agent status and can sign with any team they wish without compensation to the original team, if they are released from the practice squad.
Practice squad players ARE free agents. They can sign as free agents, as it says... so what is referred to in the "if they are released" section?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fyo (talk • contribs) 17:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Williams body

message: The most common spelling of the Highway when citing the murders is "Ratcliff Highway". This may have been the customary spelling at the time. The most common recent spellings of both the district and the road have used "Ratcliffe". For instance, there is a Wikipedia article Ratcliffe Highway that redirects to the article about the modern road The Highway.
There is no redirection for "Ratcliff Highway" even though that is the spelling used in this article.
It may be there is a justification for using the spelling variants, but this should be discussed somewhere on this page and probably the page on The Highway, lest the reader think that Wikipedians are illiterate.

Talk:Juan Gossaín

message: Zombiema7 added a good link to a comlombialink.com article on Gossain, supporting the assertion that he is a championship swimmer. I can't verify if Gossain is or was a swimmer or not, but the article linked says nothing about that. Maybe Zombiema7 got confused with the phrase: "[...] Juan Gossaín fue uno de los mejores narradores que tuvo la prensa colombiana [...]" which translates to "[... ] Juan Gossaín was one of the best narrators that Colombian journalism had [...]". Narradores (narrators) is similar to nadadores (swimmers). Thus, I took that part out of the article until someone provides better proof. 132.192.14.232 00:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

It's been awhile since I read this novel, but I don't recall it being epistolary.  I don't recall it being written in letters, or anything similar.  Being written as 'chapbooks' makes it a 'serial novel' but it has nothing to do with being epistolary.  Gavroche42 17:39, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner is partly epistolatory.

Talk:Johann Kaspar Lavater

message: I'm concerned about the following: 
"Lavater's name would be forgotten but for his work in the field of physiognomy, Physiognomische Fragmente zur Beförderung der Menschenkenntnis und Menschenliebe (1775–1778). The fame of this book, which found admirers in France and England as well as Germany, rests largely upon the handsome style of publication and the accompanying illustrations."
I'm not sure that there is evidence that Lavater's influence comes solely from his physiognomic work.  More troubling is the second sentence, which suggests that the primary reason Lavater was read at all was the"handsome[ness]" of his book.  As eminently astute readers as Goethe and Blake found much more worth in the content of Lavater's writing than in the look and feel of the binding and illustrations. (Perhaps the fact that Blake annotated his copy of Lavater's Aphorisms should be noted somewhere in the article as well? See Blake's Complete Works)  
The claim in the final paragraph that Lavater became unpopular because of his "vanity" also seems unfitting for an encyclopedia entry.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.80.68.219 (talk) 17:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The article seems to be a verbatim copy of the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, hence the various (for contemporary readers) odd subjective judgements about his "handsome style" and his "vanity". These sort of things should preferably be changed to more neutral language or deleted outright. However I must agree to the assertation that he is most wellknown (for better or worse) today on account of his physiognomic theories. I would of course word it differently. He would not have been forgotten, but today his claim to fame rests mainly on his physiognomic theories. However you are welcome to edit the article and hopefully fix its shortcomings. --Saddhiyama (talk) 23:00, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
