Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. states/List of state WikiProjects

message: I think we should move Puerto Rico back into the list along with the states. D.C., Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands (moreso than the smaller territories) are commonly listed in lists of "states," even though they are not states, simply becuase "states" is easier and more common to use than "political divisions" and most of the items on the list are states. Further, most people know right away that they are, in fact, not states, and are simply there so there aren't multiple lists. To have a separate category just for Puerto Rico, in this case, seems like it's overkill and makes things more complicated and less attractive. //MrD9 23:16, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I (obviously) disagree.  The separate category isn't just for PR, the fact of the matter is that PR isn't a state...a WProj for DC or GU or AS or the USVI would fall into the same category.  That PR happens to be the only WProj currently is the only reason it appears "oh, so all alone"...  That said, I'm not averse to the the idea of rewording the text so that PR fits into the description better...  something along the lines of "administrative divisions" would handle it, but would probably boggle more people's minds than the current arrangement is likely to... especially since states (unlike other territories) aren't "administrative districts", they're actually semisovereign areas in their own right ("administrative division" implies that the dividing comes from "above", which accurately describes the rôle of PR and other territories, but for states, there's no "dividing" going on, states instead are fundamentally "building up" the Union, rather than being appointed as divisions by the Union)...

message: I think that the long dash is more readable than the pipe because it makes a stronger visual separation between the names. Especially next to Illinois, the pipe looks like an i. I prefer the dash, but pipe separations are more common on Wikipedia. Any other opinions?--Jonathan Kovaciny 01:45, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But an en dash (or an em dash, hyphen, or any other type of dash, for that matter) is not used in this case. Gramatically, dashes are used to "connect" things that belong together, to disamgibuate, to express ranges, and other things, not to separate lists. The vertical bar, on the other hand, is commonly used on Wikipedia and in other places (which also commonly alternateively use some form of dot) to separate same-level items. //MrD9 03:55, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Oss

message: I changed the part about the coffeeshop somewhat, since it contained some POV stuff, and some poor formulation. But, come to think of it, I'm wondering whether that information belongs in the article at all. It seems somewhat strange to me to be talking about coffeeshops in such a short article as if it is an essential feature of the city, while many other interesting subjects aren't touched (yet) at all. Don't get me wrong, I am in favour of coffeeshops being present, but I'd hate to perpetuate the image that many foreigners have about the Netherlands: the idea that this country is all about wooden shoes, windmills and coffeeshops. Or well, maybe the number of coffeeshops is one of the first things the average Wikipedia reader wants to know about a Dutch city. :S :) (RagingR2 23:22, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  request for feature 

message: I have changed Template:OrganicBox complete to vary the width of the table to auto-adjust to the reader's window size. This is a Wikipedia rule, to allow each reader, to view a page on screens of various sizes (see: WP:Accessibility). Also, some data items in the table are set now to "nowrap" the text:
:* new parameter image_width adjusts image area (default: 200px)
:* new parameter gen_width adjusts general area (default: 200px)
:* XLogP is set for {nowrap|...} to not wrap negative numbers.
:* Text of "donor" is set {nowrap|donor - xxx; }.
:* Text of "acceptor" is set {nowrap|acceptor - xxx} (no semicolon).
The use of Template:nowrap allows a window to be narrowed without splitting the value displayed for those items. The changes were tested using the "/sandbox" version to ensure proper results when updated. Some data-pages might need to be changed to stack the images to fit on narrow windows. -Wikid77 14:54, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Is it just me, or does Dyson's "infinite-thoughts-on-finite-energy" argument just seem like a rehash of one of Zeno's paradoxes?  At the moment, the article reads like the crux of Dyson's solution to gain "infinite" thoughts is just to use successively smaller fractions of a finite pool of energy.  The idea, presumably, being that if you only ever use half of your stash for any one bout of serious thinking, you'll never run out.  In which case, the solution appears to hinge on presupposing that energy is infinitely divisible.  Which seems a dubious proposition at best.  Anyway, it may just be that the article is currently not sufficiently clear (at least for me), and that Dyson means something altogether cleverer.  Or, if he doesn't, the article should be edited such that it's clear that Dyson's infinity isn't quite as big as infinity.  --PLUMBAGO 14:48, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The claim that the ICRC is the world's oldest humanitarian organisation is debatable. The Sovereign Order of Malta, established over 900 years ago as the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, has an unbroken tradition of hospitaller activities, continuing to this day. Even in its modern guise under international law, it was recognized at the Congress of Verona of 1822, and since 1834 headquartered in Palazzo Malta in Rome. It therefore pre-dates the ICRC.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.79.157 (talk) 22:46, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello
I would remind you that there are more types of aid organizations exist, then you mention.
I think of organizations such as the ANWB, ADAC or AA.
These organizations have an emergency center where members can call if they are in a precarious position.
They put helicopters in order to find the member in need.
And organize special flights back to the homeland, for injured people.
One example is the gypsum flights organized in the Netherlands, Belgium and duitsland.http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gipsvlucht
Another example is the umbrella flights especially for people who become ill during the summer holiday and return home urgently moeten.http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasolvlucht

message: There are a number of bands and artists listed here that aren't referred to elsewhere as "smooth jazz."  I have only looked through the bands and vocalists.  Some of these bands are probably smooth jazz, but it isn't in their articles.  Personally, I think it's a problem when the lists say things that the articles do not.  Most likely, either the article itself is missing the information it needs, or the artist shouldn't be here.
I didn't do anything other than catalog this and fix a few links.  This is partially because I would probably get a number of things wrong.  It is also partially because mass edits and removals by a new user are probably going to be treated with suspicion.  Hopefully some other users will take interest here.
