message: Hello WikiProject Kurdistan: 
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a  month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts. 
We hope to see you there!

Talk:Death of Mary Reeser

message: A very little web searching would have sufficed to confirm that yes, Mary Reeser did exist; yes, she did die under unusual circumstances; yes, some theories about her cause of death are highly unusual.  This means it is not a hoax article.  You may believe that Reeser was not killed by spontaneous human combustion and that someone attempted to make it appear that she had; even if true, however, this would make it an article about a hoax, not a hoax article. -- 65.78.13.238 (talk) 00:15, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Is the phrase 'presumed spotaneous human combustion' even coherent? The phenomenon has not even been proven to exist, and the "current scientific consensus is that most, and perhaps all, cases of SHC involve overlooked external sources of ignition". Would we accept 'Presumed ghost attack' or 'presumed wrath of God'? 
Would a better phrasing for cause of death be: 'Unknown. Hypothesised SHC'? Wampagranule (talk) 21:50, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Whether one station protects the signal of another is not determined by how long a station has been broadcasting; it is determined by station class.  A Class B station protects the nighttime skywave signal of a Class A station, not the other way as is stated in the first paragraph of this page.
Every thing which I have been able to find indicates the reverse situation regarding WMEX and WLAC; WLAC began broadcasting first on 1510 kHz. WMEX is in fact a Class B station and I have included FCC references showing this to be true.  There is one FCC page (AM Broadcast Station Classes; Clear, Regional and Local Channels) which shows incorrectly the status of KGA; it also is a Class B station, and my sentence indicating that WLAC is the ONLY Class A station on 1510 kHz is correct.Rudy2alan 16:46, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:The Echo Maker

message: Weber is more commonly compared to Oliver Sacks, I think. Intentional fallacy aside, Powers commented on the overlap in first name and book title with Gerald Edelman in an interview with Stephen J. Burn (Contemporary Literature, Volume 49, Number 2, Summer 2008, pp. 163–179): “I read Edelman’s Bright Air, Brilliant Fire while writing Galatea 2.2, and that book was instrumental in helping form my understanding of the brain and consciousness. That said, I wasn’t conscious of borrowing his first name for my cognitive neurologist. Nor was I aware that he and Weber had hit upon the same Dickinson line for book titles until my book was well into final production. But I must say that I absolutely loved the double coincidence and let it ride as a kind of homage.” —Telofy (talk) 11:24, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Talk:Li Chengliang

message: It occurred to me that Li's title should be Commanding-General of Liaodong or Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong instead of Regional Commander of Liaodong.  The job description "zong bing" does not have any regional connotation in it.  Furthermore, during the Ming Dynasty, zongbing's were the senior military officers of the provinces and of the 9 frontiers; it was not until the Qing Dynasty that zongbing's were relegated to a sub-provincial (and hence perhaps regional) position.  If anything, the word "bing" means soldiers and the word "zong" means commanding or superintending in this context.  I thus recommend that we retranslate Li's job title to "Commanding General of Liaodong" or "General Commandant of Liaodong."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.65.204.101 (talk) 23:32, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm surprised this change hasn't generated more discussion - is anyone else even paying attention? I agree in theory that the page needed cleaning up, but I don't think this was the right way to do it - for one, the tables on the previous version that showed which seasons each cast member had which roles (featured, main, guest) were useful and are now lost. The new version has some other problems as well - the "Best of" column serves almost no purpose, for one. I don't know what all the asterisks were either, but I think an ideal version of this page would be a compromise between the previous version and the current one. --Fru1tbat (talk) 14:43, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Cedric Popkin

message: With all due respect to the service of Cedirc Popkin, I have to disagree with the
conclusions in this article. It is based on a single documentary made by "revisionist
historians"
I saw the documentary also. It is based solely on the 'trajectory' of the bullet. From the lower right back towards the front left chest. That documentary assumed the angle of impact must mean that it was fired from the ground. However, consider the situation. We are talking about a "dog-fight". The Foker Tri-plane was rolling, pitching, yawing, climbing, and diving. Imagine how much manuverability that a 3 wing airplane has!! So therefore, it is possible the pursuing plane could have fired from any angle. The fatal bullet passed clean through the Red Baron and of course could never be recovered. Therefore it is impossible to conduct ballisctics tests.
While recognizing that for "propoganda reason" Capt Brown was awarded credit for the "kill", of course realistically, we could never know who fired the fatal bullet that day=claffey-27
::Actually the "historical consensus" (many serious books, articles etc. - far from "a single documaentary") has for many years now been that the only bullet that could possibly have struck Richthofen (only one did) was NOT fired by Captain Brown, basically because he wasn't there! He had indeed fired at Richthofen, but he then had to climb steeply to avoid hitting the ground and lost contact. This was a full two minutes before the Baron died - whereas the wound was one that must have caused either instant or almost instant death. At very low altitude, the kind of flipping about described would have caused "energy loss" and a speedy crash, so the angle of the wound is less irrelevant than implied. So we DO know Richthofen was killed by groundfire. The whole quetsion is covered at the Red Baron's own article - and its talk page, of course. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 02:57, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Names of personalities

message: The last paragraph of the History section says the following:
"However, by the time the college closed the original $11 million of debt had been worked down to about $2 million, and the actual reason for closure was the bank's refusal to extend a $1 million line of credit needed for operating funds. Thus, how much money the bank lost, if any, is unclear, as these numbers tend to show that the value of the remaining property should have exceeded the remaining debt due on the mortgage."
The referenced article only states "the school was able to lower its debt" but does not detail whether or not this was related to paying off the outstanding debt or coming to an agreement with lender to lower the total outstanding liability, leaving the above paragraph biased in its conclusion.
I'd like to update this to something more neutral.

message: This page has far too many overly-assuming statements.  Given the lack of national standards, there needs to be a lot fewer "always" statements and a lot more qualifications.  You can't make statements about "minimum standards" without them being National, unless you want to site the specific states individually or collectively, and qualify that this does not apply to private companies or individuals.
Also, I notice a lot of the references for these sweeping statements are form individual state webpages and don't actually support the statement being made about this being the rule nation wide.  In fact, one reference is to Colac Ambulance's individual branch webpage (a small town in Victoria) making the assumption that this applies Nationwide!!Monobeg (talk) 15:18, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
