message: I removed 3 redlinks to people without any evidence for notability. (The descriptions weren't particularly suggestive either.) Although I don't feel it was necessary, I did in fact do a search and only one of them found any sources. The one I did find sources for was evidentally Miss Sunderland 2009 so I doubt there's really much there and doesn't really suggest much notability Nil Einne (talk) 13:21, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

message: While the name is certainly found in Mycenean sources, it disappears before the earliest alphabetic literature until relatively recent centuries, and is effectively an innovation rather than a continuation or a revival of the name. Those who first used it then as a feminine form were not aware of its previous existence pre 1000 BC. Koro Neil (talk) 12:34, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

This is not appropriate while discussing someone's name background and history, unless the purpose is to rise negativity and anger.

replies: text: Just for the record (also pertaining to a previous talk section):I'm the one who removed the Cassandra image and caption, etc.; I'm guessing that it had been based on something like this but this is, at least imo, unimportant, trivial and in essence irrelevant (we could or perhaps should mention it though as an e.g. footnote). I haven't removed them because of e.g. reading rape or curse (deal with it...), but because of the irrelevance; this article is about the name Alexandra, not about Cassandra nor about any partially similar compound root name; it's also not a horoscope or anything similar, so please... ;-)Thanatos|talk|contributions 19:22, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  The difference between ancient Egyptian religion and Hinduism 

message: The direction of worship of the ancient Egyptians has basically remained unchanged. It can be inferred that the ancient Egyptian religion was a polytheistic belief under the worship of the main god. Ancient Egyptians respected north, so they faced north. In the painting, even when turning sideways, the eyes and shoulders are facing the north to express worship of the northern god. The so-called saying that painting does not understand perspective ignores the pious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. 黎显慧 (talk) 22:30, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Al McCoy (sportscaster)

message: I removed the following:
:The phrase The Real McCoy was coined after him.
According to http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20010601.html:
:Where did the expression "the real McCoy" come from?
...
:Unfortunately, this is one of those puzzling questions without a definitive answer. A number of different theories attempt to explain the origin of the phrase.
:Two of the most popular theories revolve around alcohol. One suggests that the original saying was "the real MacKay," an advertising slogan that appeared in 1856 for a Scottish whiskey. Eventually, this saying supposedly evolved to "the real McCoy" in the United States. The second alcohol-related theory poses that Bill McCoy was a bootlegger in the U.S. during Prohibition. Hence real booze became known as "the real McCoy."
:Others claim the saying refers to Elijah McCoy, an engineer born in 1844. He invented the self-regulating lubricator, which revolutionized the industrial machine and railroad industry. Because his product was so reliable and many inferior products were produced, buyers of the lubricator would ask, "Is this the real McCoy?"
:Yet another explanation centers on welterweight boxer Norman Selby, also known as "Kid McCoy." Reportedly, a blow from the boxer left one victim proclaiming, "It's the real McCoy!"
:Although these are the most oft-repeated, they are by no means the only possibilities. Chances are we'll never know the origin of this curious expression for certain so pick your favorite story and make your case.
In other words, nobody knows. -- Zoe
:But what is pretty much certain is that "the real McCoy" did not originate with this McCoy. Rlquall 00:18, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Radon

message: A few months ago, I stumbled across a website which provided images for some of the heavy actinide elements' images on Wikipedia. What I found on the website is an image of the element Radon. It seems like the gas was encased in a glass tube and there's only 1 reference at the bottom of the page, stating that the image was taken from a book. 
http://gotexassoccer.com/elements/086Rn/Rn.htm
So I emailed the creator of the website - Mark Kness - about this image. He replied: 
"Looking at my cell[ul]ose-book version, I note the comment:
'Radioactive radon was placed on a background of zinc sulphide, thus causing it to slow with a yellow-green light'.
The radon does seem to be enclosed in a glass tube. The green glow is from the ZnS, which is excited by the radiation from radon (and perhaps radon daughters), it is not directly from radon itself.
I did not have anything to do with preparing this sample, so I can't really provide more details than that."
And I was wondering if this image could be added to the infobox in the Radon article? SupercriticalXenon (talk) 13:56, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: It's almost certainly not coming with the right license to use it here, and if it doesn't even show radon itself then I don't see why we would want to add it. Sometimes there is just no good image of things. --mfb (talk) 02:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

*I've just merged the article on "anthropogenic hazard" into here. I've also added some content from the UNDRR website: https://www.preventionweb.net/terminology/hazard. User:Richarit, please check. 
*I find this article still quite difficult as those different "hazard types" actually overlap so much. For example, content that is under "chemical hazard" could equally be under "environmental hazard" and vice versa. There might still be some scope for trimming there. 
*The article is weak on content about how hazards are managed and assessed. We only have a short section on "Analysis and management" so far. I know we have sub-articles for that but we should provide some kind of overview. EMsmile (talk) 10:50, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

:The FOTW page on Djibouti has multiple references to flagbooks stating it's 21:38 (or even 1:2). Even though they themselves have a 2:3 flag, I'd say the ratio is sufficiently odd as to not be made up, it has to have some validity, and the (small) Djiboutian website also features a tiny flag that seems more in line with a 21:38 flag than a 2:3 one, see here (at the bottom).
