Talk:Nested case–control study

message: Because the original article was plagiarized, a completely re-written and expanded article has replaced it. If the new article is considered insufficient, I strongly recommend removing the article altogether rather than revert to its previous plagiarized state. It is not acceptable for Wikipedia to host plagiarized material, especially after the offense has been noticed (the plagiarism was pointed out in September 2010 and remained on the site until August 2011).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.94.133.165 (talk) 23:06, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Mathematics/New Editor FAQ

message: Ask a question, by starting a new discussion topic. This part of the page should be seen as a normal discussion page, the answer is then summarized and added to the FAQ above.
== What is a notable theorem or conjecture? ==
A theorem or conjecture is notable if it should be mentioned in a general encyclopedia.
It is one that has been mentioned in the news or is taught in schools in a standard curriculum.
It is one that has historical significance or is associated with interesting personalities.
It is one for which a prize has been awarded.
: My conern for including this in the FAQ is that it isn't currently about any section in the Mathematics article. It might be a good idea to include some notable results, but I want to focus on a new editor FAQ. --Vesal 19:05, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

message: How are "Selected films" selected? Everyone's idea of their best films is different. Why not just give a full filmography? -- SteveCrook (talk) 13:11, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi  - "Selected films" is another way of saying "Partial filmography". It simply means that no one has taken the time to include a full filmography, hence if I come across a film Young was in, I might add it to the list. For example, if I create an article that Young filmed, and it's not on the list, I'll add it. But feel free to have a go at it. If you do, the 2 best sources are AFI and BFI. You can use IMDB, but it's not a reliable source. Hope that makes it clearer. Onel5969 TT me 13:17, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hakluyt bean 19:13, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The name Briana is mentioned at the beginning as in "Brianna, Breanna, Breanne, Brianne, Briana, Brina, and Bryanna are feminine given names." In the next sentence it mentions that "Briana" is the original spelling. At the end, it then says "[o]ther variant spellings of the name include Briana or Breeann." Given that "Briana" is the original spelling, and that it is already mentioned in the opening sentence, it is surely wrong to also have it as an other variant. I would tidy it up, but the whole article, stub though it is, is a mess; especially "Variant spellings of Brianna include: Bryanna,[4] Breanna,[1] Brianne, and Brina.[3] Breanne is variant form of Breanna.[5]"
I propose the following. 
(1) rename the article to "Briana" which is the original spelling.
(2) simply state that "Briana is a feminine given name." rather than complicate it with the list of all variants.
(3) list all the variants in another sentence.
(4) sort everything else out from there.
I do not know how to propose a name change properly, and I do not want to change everything else until it is done -- except, perhaps the "Other variants" bit, which does not make sense, so I am putting it here, and exploring the matter.--Dacramac (talk) 12:15, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:The Fugs

message: This entire article seems very wide of a fair picture of the FUGS. What I recall of the FUGS when I first learned of them in 1966 is that their feature item was sexual references and locker room humor that main stream rock bands would then have thought of as being in bad taste. Of course that was before Rap, MTV, and Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction. But typical of what made them famous was appearing clad only in raincoats that did not always stay buttoned, songs like, "The Coca Cola Douche," "He's got the Whole World by the Balls" and "I want you to Play with My Dingaling."   I'm not actually trying to put this down. In those days it was fun, and my own sense of humor and sexually oriented mindset was such that I appreciated it then and can understand why younger people with hormones flowing might appreciate it now.  While I have sort of outgrown it, I do not disparage the younger set who have not outgrown it. If Wikipedia does not want these things said, which I would understand as a matter of good taste, then I think the entire article should be deleted.  
An article about the Fugs that does not communicate what really went on seems inappropriate and misleading.

I have removed it as it appears to be original research. In fact, this assertion you make is directly contradicted by the author's quote just below. I think it takes Bremmer's reasoning farther than he would have it taken, and it provides too convenient an explanation for Iraq policy (meaning the policy is more complex and, I would say, careless than the J Curve could explain).

thread_title: This article needs major work

message: Aciram, you must be aware of how weak your arguments are. "The succession boxes are widely used for queens consorts." Margaret was not a queen. "The consort of a ruler of a state regardless of her title is essentially as a queen consort and a first lady as she had the same social role..." A countess is essentially a queen? Simply saying that I disagree with this assertion does not convey my bewilderedness by it. "... which is a phenomena recognized in historical research." Such as? Being countess of one's husband's county is a phenomenon recognized in what historical research? Queenship is a theme discussed by historians; the position of a count's wife is not. If your assertion that "the social position is the same" were true, there would surely be scholarly works about countesses consort. I am yet to find one. The position of a countess consort is, in fact, of such interest to historians that the phrase "countess consort" has been used in merely two books since the 19th century.
If historians do not say that A was succeeded by B in a certain capacity, there is no need for a box to illustrate that succession. If you do not accept a solution based on sources, what would you like us to do? Should everyone be able to add whatever she or he considers "interesting"? The fact that my arguments are based on sources, while yours boil down to what you find interesting, makes it so much more insulting when you claim that this is about my "personal subjective tastes".

thread_title:  Confusing sentence 

message: If not for eventual mention of a belatedly released live album recorded in 1973, you would get the impression from this article that the Flock disbanded in 1970 and didn't reform until 1975. I saw the group perform in 1973, and I feared at first I was about to be subjected to yet another instance of Wikipedia attempting to obliterate my persnal history. I nearly was. One of the problems appears to have to do with the severely warped perspective of the editors, who seem to think that a group that isn't releasing records is a group that doesn't exist. Anyway, the confusion in this article about when the Flock was active is a serious flaw that demands attention. I can't fix it myself because I don't have the requisite information at my command; I have only my memories: 1) a spread in the St. Louis Post Dispatch from when Jerry Goodman was still in the group, 2) an article in Downbeat specifying that Goodman, now a member of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, had previously played with the Flock, and 3) watching the Flock perform on stage in 1973 with a different violinist.

message: Back in the 70s Knebworth house had a great big slide. I was making a sales call and met the maintenance guy who told me they were having a problem with folk going down the slide on cocoanut mats, that were sticking and he was worried it could cause an accident.
To cut a long story short, I sold them a dry lubricant and said I would call back on the Easter weekend opening and make sure it was working. I took my two young sons with me and had the pleasure to meet Lord Lyton. He thanked me for the product and asked if I and my son's would like to see the house. The boys and I will never forget seeing amongst many other things, a small suite of armor, a letter from Charles Dickens, thanking the then Lyton family, for his stay with them.
