Talk:List of The Colbert Report episodes (2008)

message: As the title says, this table is extremely stretched out and I doubt that this is intended.
Could someone please fix this?
Seems like all other episode tables except for 2012 are also distorted.

Talk:Philip Carlo

message: SargJohnLennon (talk) 17:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Definitely, this guy's credibility is shot anyhow.  No one who has any sense takes his books seriously.  He just writes what he is told and hardly does any research outside of what he is spoonfed by the pathological liars like Richard Kuklinski and Anthony Casso who he choses to write about and make money off of.  He's a hack author.  I do not know one reseacher of the subject of organized crime who doesn't think this guy is full of crap.  He's a joke. Only gullible idiots can believe that a man from New Jersey would take victims to a cave and videotape them being eaten by man-eating rats.  It's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of and there's not a lick of truth to it.  But that doesn't matter to Phil Carlo.  If he's told something, he writes it, even when he, himself, knows it's BS.  He's only in it to make money and that is the bottomline.  Ignore this guy.  Do not buy his books unless you like to read fiction passed off as nonfiction.  I have also decided to boycott St. Martin's Press.  If they keep publishing this guy after they know he's a author who passes fiction off as nonfiction, then they also lose all credibility and are not to be taken seriously.  No telling what other authors they let print whatever in the world they want and not fact-check a single thing.  Thumbs down to both Phil Carlo and St. Martin's Press.  Shame on the both of you!

replies: text: On April 21, 2008 or 5 months from the dire accident, Mayor Jejomar Binay  asked the public to pray for lawyer and former Senator Rene Saguisag who is still recovering from the vehicle collision that placed him in critical condition and killed his wife. In an interview on dzBB radio, Binay said Saguisag still cannot forget the accident which claimed the life of Dulce Quintans-Saguisag. "Hanggang ngayon e talagang hindi niya makalimutan yung nangyaring aksidente sa kanya," Binay, adding it has been a month since he last saw Saguisag. Binay and Saguisag have been friends since 1970s and were part of the anti-Marcos movement. They were also members of Movement of Attorneys for Brotherhood, Integrity and Nationalism (Mabini). --Florentino floro (talk) 08:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Miss America (book)

message: Isn't part of this book's notability the style in which it's printed? As I recall (I have not read the book; I leafed through it), the font size changed frequently and dramatically, with ample use of boldface. It was so wildly varied that I chose not to read it, because it seemed annoying. But I imagine many who did read it particularly appreciated that.
As it is, this article mostly reports the book's sales success.

Talk:Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley

message: I was thinking of trying to add some more Squier and Davis images to Commons, and also to upload some better quality ones to replace some of the existing low-resolution examples. My motivation is that Squier and Davis remains a key primary source for most of these sites, many of which are sufficiently notable for Wikipedia coverage. And the Squier and Davis images are a great way to quickly appreciate what was present at the site before (most) European disturbance.
The External Links section links to a 2011 scan of the entire original edition that is available for download as a PDF from the World Digital Library. And from there it's straightforward to create PNG versions of individual plates that can be cropped, rotated, adjusted, etc. as needed. Here's an example:
Image:Hb serp 2.jpg|Plate XXXV. Serpent Mound. Previous Commons image.
Image:SD35 Serpent Mound Squier and Davis Plate XXXV.png|Plate XXXV. Serpent Mound. Original scan.
Image:SD35 Serpent Mound Squier and Davis Plate XXXV gray-levels-cropped.png|Plate XXXV. Serpent Mound. Converted to grayscale, cropped, and with white/black levels altered.
This raises a couple of questions:
* It looks like previous scans by User:Heironymous Rowe were probably done from the 1998 reissue. The 2011 scan by the Smithsonian likely has more detail, but includes a lot of artifacts such as yellowed paper, dust specks, uneven lighting. Is the 2011 scanned version (of the 1848 original) workable as a source for these images?
* Does anyone have image manipulation tips to create nice crisp grayscale PNGs from the original color scans of these plates. I am using Paint.NET, but any advice would be welcome.
Thanks. Rupert Clayton (talk) 23:16, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Joburg Art Fair

message: The article was tagged for speedy deleted from Wikipedia under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Although the current content may not indicate the required significance this will emerge as it is developed from a stub (as marked). The article is notable because:
* Art fairs and festivals are legitimate topics for inclusion in Wikipedia. See Frieze Art Fair, Ann Arbor Art Fairs, Zoo Art Fair, Salisbury International Arts Festival, Edinburgh Annuale
* The Joburg Art Fair is the first art fair in the world focussing on contemporary African Art
* The fair includes notable African artists including Zwelethu Mthethwa, William Kentridge, Guy Tillim, David Goldblatt, Peter Hugo and Moshekwa Langa.

thread_title:  Občanský průkaz 

message: This article should be renamed to match common naming conventions, and to be in English, as has been suggested in the previous section.
Models:
* Estonian ID card
* Polish National Identity Card
* Identity documents in Sweden
* British national identity card
I tend to opt for "Czech national identity card", modeled on the title of the article about the British one. A downside to this title is that, although now a card, the Czech identity document used to be a booklet. An alternative: "Czech national identity document". A further consideration is that "Občanský průkaz" refers to the identity documents not only of the current Czech Republic but also of the former Czechoslovakia. 
I will move (rename) the article. Its title can be further improved later.

message: KaLeoAlum12: You can disagree with my edits, but don't personally insult me ("A librarian should not be destroying on whim"). I identify myself and put my biography up for everyone to know my background, not to receive personal insults. Please keep it professional here.
Also, you said, "The list is a historical record updated by dozens of individuals for almost a decade on Wikipedia." However, according to the history of this article, the list didn't show up until 2008.
The page shouldn't have a whole list of editor-in-chiefs. If you don't agree, instead of personally attacking me, try to get a third opinion from other Wikipedia editors. Because personal attacking those who are just trying to improve the dissemination of knowledge is unacceptable.

Talk:Cruise book

message: Request highest level review of NPOV standards with regard to cruise book references
Note the following Wikipedia guideline as to when NPOV references may be used.
Self-published and questionable sources as sources on themselves 
Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as:
the material is not unduly self-serving; it does not involve claims about third parties; it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; the article is not based primarily on such sources.
Cruise books meet all of the criteria cited above by wikipedia. Therefore they should, based on the letter of the law, be allowed to be used as references in wikipedia articles.
To bolster this case please note teh Department of the Navy Office of the Chief of Naval Operations OPNAV INSTRUCTION 5070.1C, http://www.cruisebookcentral.com/content/dod-opnavinst-5070-1c-nonfillable.pdf
