Wikipedia talk:Ref reform

message: I have submitted a patch to Avar (the original author of the Cite extension) that addresses several of the objections being raised here.
The two main features of note:
#Creation of a <refdefine> tag that defines a reference in the same way that <ref> does, but may be placed anywhere in a document and outputs nothing.
#The ability of  references to work even if the associated content is defined later in the page.

message: I think there also needs to be a way to make it clear which facts a reference is supposed to support.  The entire preceding paragraph?  The entire sentence?  Just the last claim?  One figure in that claim?  We had decided, I think, to add this info to the body of the footnote, as people tend to add material to the article text willy-nilly.  How will this translate into the new system?  How does that work with many-to-one references? -- Beland 00:39, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Albert Goldman

message: The article reads, 'Goldman's next biography was about John Lennon. In the book, Goldman made many controversial allegations, among them the charge that Lennon had a homosexual relationship with The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, and that he may have had something to do with the untimely death of his friend Stuart Sutcliffe, an early member of The Beatles. Yoko Ono was portrayed in an even worse light, and Goldman alleged that the two carried on constant affairs throughout their marriage.' The Lives of John Lennon does not say that Lennon and Epstein had a homosexual relationship; it says, if I remember correctly, that they had sex on one occasion. This isn't a "relationship" by most people's standards. Furthermore, there appears to be an anti-gay bias here, since this could be read as implying that a homosexual relationship would have been a a bad thing. Skoojal (talk) 09:59, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

message: There was a pretty funny Saturday Night Live skit about Goldman.  It shows him as the trombone player for the Beatles....he has a trombone solo in the middle of the song and the whole crowd stops dancing when he plays.  After the show, Elvis comes in and tells the other Beatles that they should dump him because he's ruining their band.  They kick him out of the band and that's the reason he goes on to write negatively about them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.148.125 (talk) 09:49, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Using foreign images on Wikipedia

message: Certain existing nations, including Afghanistan, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Nepal, and San Marino presently have no copyright relations with the US.  Images published only in those countries could be used without infringing copyright in the US; however, Wikipedia policy is to respect works created in these countries as if they were subject to US copyright.
Hmm, as if they were subject to US copyright?  I don't think that's the right way to go about it.  Should they join the WTO or accede to the Berne Convention, the URAA will restore copyright in their works . . . but only provided copyright hasn't expired in their home country.  If it has, then the works will remain PD in the US, but according to this rule we would still have to respect them.  Or if we didn't, their accession would actually release things into the public domain for us, which is silly.  I would suggest we only respect their works according to their own laws: that way we're still respecting their copyright, but we remain consistent if/when they do get involved in copyright relations with the US. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 20:39, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Comments 

message: Article needs a reference for the Birmingham origins of Phall.  Birmingham is responsible for many inventions in 'Anglo-Indian' cuisine such as the Balti curry but my suspicions are that Phall is from Newcastle created because drunken Geordies complained that a Vindaloo was not hot enough. Probably created by Abdul Latif in 1987. I know that Phall already existed in Newcastle in the early 1990s but did not exist in Leeds or Bradford at that time... so if anyone wants to push that date back further for Birmingham or provide a reference and date to the first restaurant to create it.
* Phal (billed as "Bangalore Phal" but fitting the "very hot curry" definition) was certainly available at Norwich's "Eastern Curry House" prior to 1987, a staple closing-time dish for those who liked their curry searing hot. I don't claim that "Mr Ali", the proprietor, originated it though. Captain Pedant (talk) 21:56, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I do not see how anyone can say that this neighborhood was originally Italian when it was settled prior to the American Revolution. When I grew up there, on Davis Ave. just above Castleton, and went to PS 45 and JHS 27,there were Italian families, but they certainly were not a majority, and they certainly were not the original settlers.
