thread_title:  Beginning some real work on this 

message: This operation was quite significant in terms of strategy because it gave for a brief time to the Soviet union the possibility of expanding communism into Scandinavia in Norway. The fact that Stalin called it a Tenth Shock says something about this much ignored but largest offensive in Scandinavia to him and Stavka the current contents of the article seemingly confirm this--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 02:53, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. But shouldn't the title reflect that this was the major Soviet offensive on the Arctic front? And that it started at the Zapadnaya Litsa River? That it was about more than just Petsamo and Kirkenes? Manxruler (talk) 09:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be better if you commented on the Talk:Baltic Offensive. The quick answer is that the name of a Soviet operation is usually based on the initial and final (strategic) objectives of the operation, and only rarely on staging area. However if you can cite a reference, please include above into the article which needs to be expanded anyway--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 10:48, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  A strategicaly significant offensive 

message: The article lists the battle for Kirkenes as the last of three major phases of the offensives; then goes on to say the Germans abandoned Kirkenes, apparently without a fight (as there's no description of one). Unclear. Was there an actual battle there or not? Would "seizure" of Kirkenes be more apt?
:There are probably better sources but Lunde (2011) states following (excerpts from the book)
:::p. 366-367: ...the decision by the 20th Mountain Army - approved by OKW - not to fight for Kirkenes... ...The Germans withdrew rapidly northwest along Route 50, and only minor rear-guard actions preceded the Soviet capture of Kirkenes on October 25... ...Heavy losses were suffered at Kirkenes during the last last two days of embarkation of supplies due to Russian air attacks over 24 hours.
:That is not to say there wouldn't have been fighting before the capture of Kirkenes of course but not really at Kirkenes itself. Technically capture does not that there would have been resistance and neither does seizure mean that it would have happened without resistance, however i think it might be more descriptive to use 'seizure'.

Talk:Neil Kilkenny

message: As the references cited in the article (Yorkshire Post, Leeds United)  make clear, Kilkenny's first game for Leeds was played on loan, because it was quicker to arrange a loan than a permanent transfer and they needed him for the following day's game. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so it should use the most reliably accurate facts available. It doesn't really matter that Soccerbase chooses to lump the loan game in with the rest, if more accurate facts are available from a reliable source e.g. the Leeds United official website and the BBC. 
Incidentally, every time the loan game was removed, its reference was removed as well. That reference was re-used later in the article, so every time it was taken out, it caused an error lower down the article. Have a look at the References section after those edits, there's a Cite error in big red writing.
If you really feel strongly that the loan game shouldn't appear in the infobox, perhaps you'd explain why. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:14, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Matzo brei

message: That change doesn't add any information, I know, but it fixes existing information. I've never ever heard about such a way for making matzo bries, and neither does anyone else I asked. And even if this recipe does exist in some small never heard of Jewish community in the dark side of the world, it certainly doesn't make it the "general" recipe matzo bries are made of. If anything, it's one recipe that very few matzo bries are based on.
I would've removed it alltogether for that reason, but I figured it'd be seen as pure vandalism. 85.64.182.27 12:47, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Colin Boyd, Baron Boyd of Duncansby

message: Today's announcement that Colin Boyd is to be elevated to the House of Lords to sit on the non party-political cross-benches has caused controversy in Scotland where, as Lord Advocate, he combines the judicial role of chief prosecutor with the political role of legal adviser to the Scottish cabinet. Criticism of Boyd's dual judicial/political role arises from the two high-profile Scottish legal cases in which he has been involved: Shirley McKie and the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) argued that Boyd should not have been responsible for prosecuting Shirley McKie and, at the same time, awarding her £750,000 compensation for dropping her counter claim against the Scottish Executive. The SNP criticised the announcement of Boyd's life peerage for making "a role which is already too political even worse".
The Conservative party's shadow secretary of state for Scotland, David Mundell, said that Labour was simply demonstrating its "contempt for the House of Lords". He added: "Either Colin Boyd is a member of the government or he is a crossbencher – you cannot be both".
But Labour First Minister Jack McConnell countered by describing Boyd's appointment as an appropriate and welcome recognition for Scotland's Lord Advocate. Boyd himself said:
:"The ability to represent in the House of Lords views which are relevant to my duties as a Scottish Law Officer is welcome, and I will take all opportunities to make a useful contribution to debate in this regard."Honour for prosecutor causes rowPhase4 12:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

message: "One of the most notable parts of The Indie Band Survival Guide is the section called File Sharing: An Independent Band's Perspective ..."
This should probably be rewritten to be less "pitchy" (pun-intended). Again, there's a hint of opinion at the beginning of the paragraph. Wikipedia articles should be informational and while an article chronicling a little-known band is arguably acceptable, care should be taken not to use Wikipedia as a promotional tool. That said, this article, in my opinion, is fine, but it would be even better if some of the opinion was removed. Chabuhi 17:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
