message: Is it fair of the article to say that Mayella was a racist? Examination of the character makes one consider that, rather than independent in thought, she was largely under the influence of her father, who was not only a racist but also somewhat of a social outcast. Her actions were prompted by her father's bigotry; she herself was rather innocent when it came to her place in the world according to race. We could get into a bit debate about the immoral actions of what the character did, but I believe that she was more complicit out of fear of her father's retribution than an outright racist. For that reason, I believe that we should consider changing this descriptor of her as a racist to something more fitting and less partial. Ideas? Twistedpiper (talk) 05:34, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Before inserting this apparently irrelevant information and aside to this biography, please explain with citations to Goodenough biography sources why it matters what government existed in 1922, not in general, but to this person's biography.  In what significant and sourced way was his life effected by a remote government, he apparently lived little under. It seems little different then in the next paragraph inserting "(then under the administration of Franklin Roosevelt)" for his service in WWII, and "(during the mayoralty Martin H.

I was under the impression that Artemio belongs to the faction of SL that does believe Guzmán wants to enter into peace agreements, and continues to "fight for a peace accord."

Talk:Concetta Tomei

message: Typically, if the subject of a Wikipedia article is related to a celebrity or other person(s) of note, that information is included in the lead, early life, or personal life sections. However, I've not seen where a subject (celebrity or not) with the same surname of a celebrity, who is not related to the latter, is noted as such. For example: it's not the practice (or Wikipedia standard) to note that Audrey Hepburn was not related to Katharine Hepburn, or that Kristen Stewart is neither related to Martha Stewart nor James Stewart; Matthew Perry to Katy Perry, or that Julia Roberts and Emma Roberts are related to each other, but not to Doris Roberts. Many more examples could be demonstrated.

thread_title:  Sources belong here, not in external links or written into the reference section 

message: I edited the article to take out some language that read like a first draft of album liner notes rather than a serious encyclopedia biography. For example, I removed this passage:
:Trying to speculate where Buika's professional career will lead is a mystery because, when it comes to Buika there is no script. She is a continuous flow, without interruptions. Her new music will taste like the old in their musical notes, their timing, streaming. Clearly, Buika is here to stay.
I think Buika is a talented performer, but this sort of language is merely an attempt at some kind of poetic celebration of her talent that violates Wikipedia's NPOV policy. Strictly speaking, moreover, parts of this passage are either untrue or meaningless. What does it mean to say she is "without interruptions"? Does that mean she doesn't sleep? What does it mean to say her new music will taste like the old?  Is this saying that her new music lacks originality? How does music "taste" like something? And what does it mean to say she is "here to stay"? Where is "here" and how long is she going to stay? This statement is either a prediction about where she will be (or how she will be regarded) in the future, or else it is adulation from a fan or from her marketing department. Regardless, it just doesn't belong in an encyclopedia entry. --Sheldon Rampton (talk) 06:34, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Take out promotional language 

message: I changed the last sentence because its comment was tied to 2015. I see the description of her as a Spanish singer is rather unclear as to what it refers to. She was born on Spanish territory, and holds or held Spanish nationality, but point 1: Does she now hold US citizenship? Presumably she holds permanent residence status? And point 2: is the sentence referring to the fact that she usually or entirely sings in the Spanish language? Checking with YouTube, I found only songs in Spanish, but her corpus of recorded songs is quite large... Editors need to be clear on basic facts, that's what readers want. They don't want to hear editors' personal views on the artist, but the referenced opinions of qualified critics are highly desirable. Macdonald-ross (talk) 16:51, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Leander-class cruiser (1931)

message: Removed the RAN & RNZN naval ensigns. Not meant to be rude, but these were not in use until the 1960s, after the ships had ceased service with these navies. The Indian ensign was used. Wiki practice is to use correct flags for the period (although some oppose use of flags at all); RAN and RNZN ships (and RCN) used the white ensign until 1967 and 1968, respectively. The change was made to reflect the greater political independence of these Commonwealth nations. It would therefore be correct to use the white ensign, if desired. There's more info here.

thread_title: Four episodes

message: This passage is from the "Early Life" section. I have a couple of problems with it.
:Ms. Sweeney recalls that although "Jackie Ben" loved to sing, actually he sounded like crap. However, she recalls him getting the opportunity to sing on local radio, in which his friends teased him for his "nasal" singing voice, which they thought sounded like Steve Urkel.
"Sounded like crap" is a very clumsy analogy. Unless this is an actual quote (in which case it needs an attribution and should be formatted as a quotation), might we substitute something a little less colloquial and a bit more precise? Perhaps something along the lines of, "...although Jackie Ben loved to sing, he was not very good at it."? This also will need an attribution, but at least it's more succinct.
Considering that "Steve Urkel" is a fictional character not created until the 1990s and Hillerman's brief singing career took place in the late 1940s, the comparison is completely inappropriate. Please describe what people thought he sounded like, as no one at that time could possibly have compared him to a fictional character that did not yet exist. 71.200.140.35 (talk) 13:18, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
