message: May I suggest this image if a clip of the film won't be used? --Lenin and McCarthy  |  (Complain here) 14:24, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea. I used this one because it has a slightly less obnoxious tag from the creator. What do you think?--Chaser - T 03:51, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. The problem about that is that those images are unrelated to the incident. It is better to use the screenshot so readers can get the point immediately, after all, what does a simple picture of a bus convey? It's not an article about Kowloon Motor Bus, but an article about an incident caught on camera and sent to YouTube. Hence the screenshot is the most representative of the subject. Also, the photograph of the bus is not the route number on which the incident took place.--Alasdair 12:21, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair use images aren't an option on the main page anymore. We haven't used them since Jimbo Wales removed one a few months ago. They clash with Wikipedia's mission to produce free content. I'm happy to discuss other free images, though.--Chaser - T 16:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually, I've taken a picture of a Route 68X today, and uploaded it to Wikipedia just now (right side). Since the incident took place on a route 68X, it's better to use that instead, since it's relevant to the incident.--Alasdair 07:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The text in the article about "Thomas O'Malley" seems to have been added in 2010 without a source. I searched newspapers.com, Google news, Google books, and did some obituary searches, but I was unable to source the text. While there are several articles that mention the name, they are all dated after 2010 and they never say more than what was present in this article (i.e., it looks like the authors copied from Wikipedia). I've removed the unsourced text, but to avoid creating a citogenesis incident, I would recommend against using any recent source that mentions the name or seems to be based on the Wikipedia article.
I also added several more sources to the history section. A lot more could be written based on those sources. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

message: I deleted "However, because the organization was represented by a blind pro bono attorney, its legalization efforts there were largely overshadowed by those of the Cannabis Corporation of America."  "because the organization was represented by a blind pro bono attorney" is neither verified nor a improbable reason for ACT's efforts to have been overshadowed. That they were overshadowed by the Cannabis Corporation of America is also unverified and not evident after a bit of research. That they were overshadowed by NORML's efforts seems likely to me and consistent with my memory of news reports but I don't feel certain enough this was true to state that.Moss&Fern (talk) 08:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Prunis pumila var cuneata  sometimes known as Prunus pumila var susquehanae - Susquehana Cherry, and Sand Cherry.

Talk:Libuše (opera)

message: I have just been listening to the early part of the opera, without a libretto and trying to get some sort of a guide to what is going on from Wikipedia.   The only score I can access is a Czech language 1945 vocal score downloaded through IMSLP, and I am able to confirm from it that the LPs I am listening are what they say they are and the labels are correctly attached to the right sides.   But I am not a Czech speaker.  The narrative of the action given in this Wikipedia  article appears to have been adapted from an English language synopsis in the 1945 score itself, which frustratingly follows a synopsis in much better French than the English of the English synopsis, which seems more helpful than it about what happens in Act III.  But the download only includes the last couple of French paragraphs.   When this article comes up for revision, could someone try to find the full French synopsis and adapt that?Delahays (talk) 17:20, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Talk:The Devil's Wall

message: I admit I can't just now see a way of doing it succinctly but a duet of the quality of No 6 in Act I of the Chalabala recording suggests the opera is being sold rather short if a plot synopsis at least isn't included.   The Supraphon effort is, in translation, impenetrable.  One of the difficulties might be instanced by the immediate drastic undermining of the aforementioned duet by a very interventionist and active Devil, who is up to far more than damming the Vltava, most of which is ignored by the Supraphon synopsis. One at least of the two UK sources (the other link doesn't produce anything and both are behind the same paywall) does indicate that one of Smetana's themes is the possibility of happiness late in life.Delahays (talk) 12:02, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Talk:Viola (opera)

message: According to one source I've seen Smetana only composed 300 bars of this opera. Grove list it as a fragment - they don't have an article on it. There was a concert performance on 15 March 1900 and some kind of stage performance on 11 May 1924 but perhaps this was just of the fragment. John Tyrrell doesn't mention the opera in his article in Grove. Concerned. -- Kleinzach 09:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me to be just as viable as the article on Wagner's Die Hochzeit, of which even less remains.  Actually, I think it's more viable:  the latter also doesn't have an article in Grove, nor has it one in the Viking Guide.  There is an article on Viola in the Viking, by John Tyrrell (who wrote the Grove article on Smetana).  Its libretto has survived, unlike Die Hochzeit's, and apparently there is a Supraphon recording of what there is of it (about 15 minutes). --GuillaumeTell 11:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. If someone has the Viking article then we should be able to make something of this. (Re Die Hochzeit I also wonder about this. There are so many articles we need on bona fide operas, it seems a pity to have stubs on operas that never really existed which can't be developed.) -- Kleinzach 22:40, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I think it warrants an entry but these 300 bars should be mentioned in the main text as the awkward sentence "The composer did some work on it in 1874 and then came back to it in 1883, when he only managed to orchestrate a few scenes" leaves the reader wondering just how much he got done in 1874 and how this compares to the "few scenes" of 1883. 300 bars might be equivalent to perhaps 20 minutes of performance. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:2431:CD67:B960:E034 (talk) 08:57, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

message: What has happened to the Indian publishers and universities?  Why have they forgotten poetry at all. The Indian English so-called poets  are not the poets at all. They produce merely a bundle of words in such a rough way that we should commit suicide if we call them poetry. Recently I have read Gieve Patel's ON KILLING A TREE and I haven't found in it even a single feature of poetry in it. Though it ironically tries to the conservation of vegetation as its subject. But merely subject is not all in all. In poetry a subject must be poetically treated. It's not a poem at all. It's merely a joke on the name of poem. What are we giving to the new generation?

Plus, the Constitution of Yemen refers to an individual and collective cabinet responsability both to the President and the House of Representatives, (articles no. 74 and 105) which makes it a semi-presidential system rather than a presidential one. --B.Lameira (talk) 17:09, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

message: The article currently makes the assertion that "politics of Yemen takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic, where the President of Yemen is the head of state, while the Prime Minister of Yemen (who is appointed by the President) is the head of government." For most countries, whatever template or bot script generated that type of statement is accurate, but for Yemen it is totally misleading. Most politics of Yemen takes place outside the framework of state institutions: there is the opposition protest movement, there are the Southern separatists, there is al-Qaeda, there are Shia and Salafi religious currents, and there are militarist elements (traditionally sponsored by the US). All of this gives the lie to the idea of an orderly political process operating within state institutions. A rethink and rewrite of this article is in order. Q·L·1968 ☿ 21:20, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
