Talk:Victoria Square, Birmingham

message: I know that the statue of Queen Victoria predates the River fountain.  I suspect Dhruva Mistry positioned the Floosie where he did so Victoria would appear to look down disdainfully onto her.   Perhaps it’s too speculative for Wikipedia.   Perhaps Wikipedians from the West Midland Project can look next time you are there.Barbara Shack (talk) 14:18, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You really must remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and that all it should state are facts. I understand your edits are in good faith, however, this is just your presumption of what Dhruva Mistry was trying to achieve or show. This is an opinion and not a fact that has been backed up by a source. Unless you can find a source (preferably a secondary source although primary sources are accepted), then the material cannot be added to the page. - Erebus555 (talk) 15:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Rashard Lewis

message: This article reads like it's about some low-end player who never accomplished jack, but Lewis averaged quite high numbers for many years in his prime and went to the All-Stars twice. I think he deserves a more comprehensive article than this. This article is shorter than the articles of most players of his caliber. Could someone please attempt to document his career more thoroughly here, please? Succubus MacAstaroth (talk) 00:09, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: What are you talking about? Different people have their names spelled differently. Rashard Lewis's parents decided to spell his name with an R near the end. It's fairly common practice in the United States for parents to invent unorthodox spellings for their children's names. It doesn't have to have any special meaning.

message: Number of beds citation request:
I think the information is available at the various health departments or bed licenses from the affiliated institutions. Adding 10 or more references accounting for the estimated 2,000 beds network might be impractical.
It is usually pretty obvious from the amount of affiliated institutions that there is a vast amount of beds composing the network. Asking for a citation on this is at the moment a little bit harsh.
Please people try to contribute citations as well! --PrussianBlue1 (talk) 22:03, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This amounts to wp:original research. You need an actual verifiable citation to specify the 2,000 there. Otherwise, why not just leave out that one statement altogether? It won't hurt the article in the least bit. After all, you already say (and I agree) that It is usually pretty obvious from the amount of affiliated institutions that there is a vast amount of beds composing the network, so why say 2,000 if everyone reading would already know the number is pretty high?

thread_title: Untitled

message: And it handles a bit over 110,000 passengers yearly--BoricuaPR 02:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The concept of an "international airport" has nothing to do with the amount of passengers handled, and more about its flight connections and whether it has U.S. Customs and U.S. Immigration representatives in-house. However, the concept is actually very subjective, and should really be based on the airport's official name. I searched online and the title varies from Aeropuerto Mercedita to Aeropuerto Internacional Mercedita. The closest reliable sources I could find was that the Municipality of Ponce's main site calls it International, as does the Puerto Rico Legislature. So I'm moving the page to Mercedita International Airport based on this. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 14:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Caribe Hilton Hotel

message: I'm all for improved sourcing, which is why i did a source with the addition i just made.  There were no inline citations in the article.  Perhaps the article is actually sourced from the external links given, so perhaps a tag calling for inline citations is appropriate.  But i don't think the "onesource" tag which was just also added, applies.  That tag yields message "This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source", which seems to imply the article is mainly sourced from the one source now in the article.

thread_title: Untitled

message: Article says "The Cataño Ferry (Lancha de Cataño) provides multiple daily round-trips from San Juan to Cataño. During the late 1980s, ferry service covered the San Juan area and the trip lasted approximately one hour. The service departed and arrived at the Old San Juan docks, but its popularity was short lived and thus this service was stopped during the early 1990s." (The emphasis is mine.) 
Note the 1st sentence speaks in the present ("provides"), but the last statement speaks in the past ("the service was stopped"). Which one is it, is there a ferry provided now or no?  Mercy11 (talk) 23:19, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Talk:The Man Who Fell to Earth

message: I'd love to know if Newton attempted to communicate with his wife via pop songs in the novel or whether that was a Bowie addition.  Yes. Communicating indirectly via pop songs does seem to be a movie (and presumably Bowie influenced) addition since in the book plot section it says "He records a message which he hopes to broadcast via radio to his home planet." --Timtak (talk) 09:10, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: There should also be a section about the original 1976 theatrical version and the longer 2000s director's cut. As said, four new scenes were added which I have mixed feelings about, as one of them turns the film's entire meaning on its head and the one with the settlers in the field kinda distracts from its main theme (see above on this talkpage). --2003:71:4E6A:C962:C9BD:4253:9C28:8521 (talk) 14:33, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Also, the 'Mongolian' ring is also known as 'Asian', 'Middle Eastern', 'Turkish' and 'Steppe' thumb ring. As you may figure from the wide variety of names, the 'Mongolian' thumb ring is very widely used, while the 'Manchurian' version far less so.  82.173.88.91 (talk) 17:22, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

message: The page contains 2 esoteric cosmology views superimposed, resulting in a confusion.
One is a Neoplatonic one, with wolds (Alamut):
*Hahoot
*Lahoot
*Jabroot
*Malakoot
*Nasoot 
The other is mostly Hermetic, with 7 spheres and Qur'anic concepts like Arsh, but also Neoplatonic like Ruh-i-Quddus or Aql-i-Awwal/First Intellect, identified with the Pen, and the Nafs-i-Qulliya, interpreted as the Tablet. Here you have a polarity not present in the Alam scheme. One just cannot mix the emanationist Alam scheme (Jabroot...) and the Hermetic one (Arsh, Aql, Nafs, 7 spheres..). Another "problem" is Nur-i-Mohammadi, identified with Logos or Aql-i-Awwal. The result is a confusion.Bardon Dornal 16:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
