message: What does this mean?  "This sentence contains 20 words, and […] missing".  If it's talking about another sentence, the actual lacuna would be identified in that sentence, so this is not a good example.  If it's talking about itself, it's poor grammar, and the self-reference is a bit confusing.
Could somebody clarify it, or come up with another example?

message: I have never seen this rank or taxon used formally.  I really don't think it's standard, and I don't think we should treat it as such.  As such, I'm removing the category for the time being, until the article has some substantitation.

Apologies for the length, but the article attempts to be about entrant #3 in the list but has details of marriage, etc.  Note the unusual nomenclature in this article and the fact that it covers one of three men by the name, two contemporaries.  Lempriere is old (mine is 1848), and he has errors occasionally, but if the author used vastly better sources, then he or she still needs to cover the name better. Geogre 05:55, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Pootie Tang

message: discussion of part of article removal
I have removed the part about the "Pootie Tang Coalition" in the extra facts section of the article.  It smacks of advertising/horn-tooting, and it is dubious that such an entity truly exists as an organized group. The 'president' that it lists (and links to a nonexistent Wikipedia page of) is ostensibly the same person as user 'scjacobs', who is responsible for most of the edits on this wikipedia page.  Internet searches for the alleged organization return no results except for ones that quote this very wikipedia entry.
That specific point in the "extra facts" does not adhere to one of the fundamental Wikipedia guidelines of  Verifiability, nor does it adhere to  Wikipedia spam guidelines.    From the "verifiability" page:  The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that any reader must be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, because Wikipedia does not publish original thought or original research. I don't question the existence of a loose group of people calling themselves the "Pootie Tang Coalition", nor that there are "budding chapters" elsewhere, but I do think that it needs to be much more established as a group in order to be included in this article.

Talk:Anya Schiffrin

message: This article does not make any real claim of notability other than that the subject holds a minor academic position and was the chief editor at an obscure publication. She is certainly related to a number of notable people, but notability is not WP:INHERITED. The article lists a few books that the subject has co-authored (to be expected of an academic), but really gives no independent WP:RS. I think what is needed in order to remove the tag is a stronger, credible claim of notability and several WP:RS. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 16:56, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Ethics of circumcision

message: The article used the Australian flag, which is inappropriate, because the policy document refers to both Australia and New Zealand. I have no objection to using both flags, but using the Australian flag alone is not appropriate. As for the text, a direct quotation "generally considered an ethical procedure" is more accurate than a summary which stated that infant circumcision "is ethical."

thread_title:  Map overlaps ToC 

message: Our lead says the Silver Line is , a term that is well defined at its own Wikipedia page. On our Silver Line page, we use an infobox whose service_type parameter contains the value . After I removed "(disputed)" from that parameter,  restored it with the edit summary, . 
This apparently alludes to subsection 3.2.3 Indirect routing, about a now-resolved controversy involving Silver Line's access to a single ramp operated by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. That historical controversy does not dispute the Silver Line's overall service type as rapid transit.
The template we use, Template:Infobox Bus transit, redirects to Template:Infobox bus company, which in turn prescribes values for the service_type parameter. Under the Description column, we find Bus or coach or express; the Example column cites Bus. There is no reason to infer from this that we should amend the service_type parameter to include "(disputed)" when the dispute in question pertains not to Silver Line's designation as a bus rapid transit system, but to a single ramp along its route.
Accordingly, I request consensus to remove "(disputed)" from the service_type parameter. NedFausa (talk) 20:01, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

However, none of this is stated, and if my speculation is correct, the article surely would need rewriting to indicate at what point (and why) Talmy withdrew from working with the group – neither of which facts appear to me to be addressed in Talmy's own article.
