Talk:G. W. Pabst

message: An editor is removing mention of the subject's professional name, the name he was billed under, being "G. W. Pabst", under grounds which have no policy-support that I am aware of.  I ask the editor to provide the policy basis for removing the subject's professional name, and also inquire as to what other editors think. BMK (talk) 23:41, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: A neutral pointer to this discussion has been placed on the talk page of WikiProject Film. BMK (talk) 23:43, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

text: Seems to be a no-brainer. As per WP:LEAD: "Only the first occurrence of the title and significant alternative titles ..." (emphasis is mine); the person's professional name is a pretty significant alternative title. And as per WP:COMMONNAME, the name by which this individual is more commonly known is the title of the article, and then harking back to WP:LEAD, "If possible, the page title should be the subject of the first sentence." Clearly the initials name belongs in the lead. I actually am going to edit the lead to more accurately reflect these two guidelines, since the article title can be the subject of the first sentence, with his birth name being a significant alternative.

text: Agree that WP:COMMONNAME applies here. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 10:41, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:COMMONNAME covers article titles, while WP:FULLNAME covers the name used to describe the individual in the first mention in the lead sentence. FULLNAME is the proper guideline here; COMMONNAME has no relevance in this situation, as we're not questioning the article title.Examples cited at FULLNAME include the article titled Bill Clinton which refers to him as William Jefferson Clinton for its first mention and the article with the title Fidel Castro refers to him as Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz in its first mention. See such examples at D. W. Griffith, W. E. B. Du Bois, W. C. Fields, A. J. Foyt, B.B. King, C. S. Lewis, E. E. Cummings, F. Scott Fitzgerald, J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, among the many individuals known by their initials. In compliance with WP:FULLNAME, the individual is never referred to in their first mention by their initials, no matter how widely known they are by their common name initials; The initials are either included within the name in quotes or they're not included at all.As such, the first mention has been changed to Georg Wilhelm "G. W." Pabst to include the initials for anyone who may not make the connection between his given name and the title of the article. Alansohn (talk) 05:25, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Herbert Quick

message: He is Herbert Quick at LC Online Catalog, apparently so credited in books he created (LCCN n86-013847, see "Found in" notes). Where is he known as John Herbert Quick? --P64 (talk) 20:37, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I requested the article to be moved, this is a record of why: Currently, Herbert Quick points to John Herbert Quick. I do have a souce that confirms that is is real name, but all the sources call him "Herbert Quick" and that is the name his books were published under. Someone else on the talk page mentioned it, and after doing a review, it really seems that Herber Quick should be the main article as the "common name" of the subject and how people would search for the article. If we had other subjects with the same name, "Hebert Quick (author)" would still seem like the appropriate name for the article. The existing Herbert Quick entry's only history is creating a redirect, so deleting and moving this one seems most appropriate for maintaining the history.  Denaar (talk) 15:07, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Any statement about a person's beliefs appearing in Wikipedia -- or any other reality-based venue -- must be done by citing where that individual expressed the beliefs in question.

Talk:Pressurized heavy-water reactor

message: This article seems to be more of a of two alternative techniques than a description of comparison than PHWR.
U238 will release much energy when it is split. That requires an extraneous source of neutrons. It is not explained why water absorbs too many neutrons. Are they absorbed by H, converting to D, or randomly scattered meaning that too many escape the fuel core?. In the case of heavy water, neutrons emerging from the core are, on average, reflected back towards the core, since deuterium is twice as heavy as a neutron. It makes no sense that deuterium is an unwanted byproduct in the PLWR type, yet deuterium is very expensive to produce for the PHWR type.27.33.246.67 (talk) 23:19, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not from Devon 

message: I have been "bold" and cut these whole!
The first section is a crude 'cut-and-paste' - it is very obviously plagarised (from a possibly still copyright source) but more to the point it is written in a totally unencyclopedic style, and is riddled with format errors that render it gibberish on the screen. Before reinstatement it needs:
:#To be rewritten - in encyclopedic style, and in the editor's "own words". 
:#To be completely reformatted - this includes the removal of the formatting inherited from the source from which it was "cut", and its replacing with the formatting of this site, which will render it readable.
The section on Payne's Arabian Nights translation is, apart from its faults of style and lack of suitable references, very partisan and controversial, and against the academic consensus. It drastically fails the tests of WP:OR WP:NPOV and is generally not in encyclopedic style. Again - a dispassionate and balanced treatment of the topic is definitely called for, but this will not do, even as an excuse, in the meantime.  --Soundofmusicals (talk) 19:42, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
