Talk:Skelevision

message: Although the technique of Skelevison is merely a gimmck that is being attempted for the first time, as I am writing this it is October 2006, it is nonetheless a venture worth noting on a separate page. Skelevison may be used as a comedic device applicable to future television programs and this page will offer a precious recount of those instances in an effort to demote a dissolved network of links between them on wikipedia.org.
:What may happen in the future is irrelevant and unknowable. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Rught now it's a one-time, single-use, neologism. Wikipedia has no interest in being the first to document something which may become notable in the future. We wait. Fan-1967 03:56, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Clock (1945 film)

message: :Headline from Guardian newspaper (UK) late 2010 or 2011
"Christian Marclay's The Clock: a masterpiece of our times"
First graf:
This week, very late to the party, I visited Christian Marclay's staggering moving-image installation The Clock, a 24-hour montage of thousands of film and television clips with glimpses of clocks, watches, and snatches of people saying what time it is. This incredible installation is set up so that whatever time is shown is, in fact, the correct time as of that instant. So as well as providing food for thought about the nature of time in the cinema, and indeed in life itself, the whole thing itself functions as a gigantic and gloriously impractical clock. By the time you read this, it may be possible to get The Clock as a streaming-video app to download to your iPhone, automatically putting itself in sync with your time setting.
Good luck. What is required is disambiguation and a new article

Talk:Virginia's 5th congressional district

message: Map error -- The map mislabels Lynchburg, VA as "Timberlake."
Rhymworm (talk) 21:26, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The map is accurate—Lynchburg isn't in the district, while Timberlake is. The problem is that Timberlake is a tiny crossroads that doesn't merit being labelled in such a large size, since the size of the font of a placename on a map generally corresponds to its population size. Unfortunately, the map is from the United States Department of the Interior as a flat file, so I suspect that modifying it (without it looking bad) probably isn't viable.  --WaldoJ (talk) 00:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It's important to get some mention of notability in an article, especially when first created.  Even if style/grammar/format is poor, anything to assert notability so that other editors can have some judgment of whether the subject merits an article is important.  I have spent a little time looking up the book (and any other info I could find).  There is mention of Ackery winning two "Quigley Awards" for theater promotion, something that makes him more notable than being a Vancouver theater manager (even a friendly, likeable one with a small autobiography).  The difficulty I am having is finding any information that defines the Quigley Award.  Being an award winner may be enough to satisfy WP:BIO (and including this info in the article should be enough to prevent a speedy deletion), but if the award is not really notable itself, then the article might not survive a future AfD discussion on notability.  Hope that helps.  ju66l3r 05:30, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I would not agree with splitting the storm history. It's not remarkably long (Hurricane Wilma, for example), and the general wikiproject standard is not to split storm history up - even more so for a hurricane that did nothing. There is nothing special about the storm's history (unlike Wilma or Katrina), so that really isn't needed imo. Secondly, it may not be possible to extend the impact section. You need to bear in mind that this is a storm that did not affect land. – Chacor 14:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
