message: I have removed the photo of Gribbel who only has an incidental mention in the article and who's picture certainly shouldn't be given such prominence. --NeilN talk to me 23:54, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It is certainly more interesting than that dumb gravestone. And anyway, you could simply have decreased the size and put the pic at the bottom next to Griddel's name. But then you do do a lot of editing, so I guess you don't have time. I've solved the problem by giving Gribbel his own page. (Knowing you, you'll probably delete it for lack of noteworthiness.) I can't for the life of me figure out why people find this insignificant page of such interest that the history looks like a constant edit war. Sheesh! Mike Hayes (talk) 09:18, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: More interesting is debatable but it's certainly not more relevant. The "edit war" is easy to figure out - someone is trying to replace the current content with a puff piece about a person who doesn't meet WP:N.

Talk:Bernard Allison

message: Here by my side lies a CD, Bernard Allison "The Next Generation", published 1990 by the TELDEC Record Service GmbH, "Recorded at Relief Studio, Belfaux, Switzerland, December 1989" (quoted from the booklet).
So I took the liberty to add this one to the discography.

thread_title: First Album?

message: An unregistered editor changed the date of Allison's father's death to 1998 without modifying sources based on an allegation that Allison claims that year. 
One of Wikipedia's core policies is that content must be verifiable to a reliable source, and the source that is cited for this passage is pretty clear. It says, "His first tour of the United States was in the fall 1997,  immediately following Luther's death." AllMusic also indicates that his father died in 1997. As does the Encyclopedia of Arkansas: "He died on August 12, 1997, at University Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin."
I have restored the sourced date. Please provide reliable, published references if you wish to discuss changing it again. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:24, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Great Alaska Shootout

message: More WP:SYNTH or merely making things up out of thin air again.  I'm looking at the April 1980 issue of the University of Alaska newsletter Now in the North.  Iowa winning the first women's tournament and Cindy Haugejorde winning MVP did occur, but not in conjunction with the Shootout.  "When it was all over, the Hawkeyes of Iowa finished on top but just looking at the final score of the championship game doesn't tell the story of the first-ever Alaska Northern Lights Invitational Women's Basketball Tournament.  The University of Alaska, Anchorage hosted the March 14–15 tournament.  Along with UAA and Iowa, the universities of Wyoming and Nevada-Reno battled for the Northern Lights crown."  March 14 and 15 doesn't sound like Thanksgiving weekend to me.  The rest of the story goes on to describe the tournament games themselves.  However, there's a brief mention of the fact that they received seed money from the Alaska Legislature, possibly at the instigation of Arliss Sturgulewski, at the time the member of the Alaska Senate representing the campus.  The story also shows that the tournament was held at the Sports Center on campus, which someone felt was independently notable only this month for reasons having to do with mere announcements of future ice hockey games that they current lack the capacity to host, in spite of the fact that the venue has been home to significant community events for decades.  Don't get me started on how widespread that phenomenon is across the encyclopedia. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  01:19, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Aspindza

message: I checked two sources and the passage above appears a bit inaccurate: first, Totleben's army was much smaller than Erekle's and numbered only 800 men (Edge of Empires: A History of Georgia, p. 243) and second while the sources talk a lot about Totleben's cowardice, intrigues and quarrels with Georgians they don't present this as part of a grand plan to annex Kartli-Kakheti (ibid, "Russia intended to turn the Black Sea into a Russian ... lake: saving, unifying, even acquiring Georgia was not yet on the agenda"). Gvosdev says in Imperial Policies and Perspectives towards Georgia, 1760–1819 (pp. 35-37) that Totleben considered annexing Georgia in May 1770 (that is, after the battle) and that when the word of the conflict reached St Petersburg he was promptly replaced. Alaexis¿question? 19:56, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Alaexis - I suggest that you go ahead and rewrite the short paragraph that describes the situation. Even though there are several references, the main paragraph has no citations. Interesting that whoever added the Edge of Empires: A History of Georgia to the references only cited the fact that Georgia was victorious. So again, add your new reference (Gvosdev) and rewrite the paragraph citing Rayfield and Gvosdev as appropriate. Why are you hesitant? VFF0347 (talk) 21:41, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm not an expert in this area and so I wanted to get feedback from other editors who might monitor this page. It's not that important, the change can wait a few days. Alaexis¿question? 21:53, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Rayfield's book contains numerous inaccuracies and it is advisable to cross-check it with other references. Totleben's force numbered c. 3800 (See Gvosdev, p. 34). As for Totleben's desertion, the Wikipedia article errs, claiming that the Russians returned home. In fact, Totleben withdrew towards Tbilisi to effect a coup against Heraclius, whom he did not expect to win a battle against the Ottoman forces. 
--KoberTalk 14:33, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks, this is very helpful. I might use Gvosdev to expand on Totleben's actions and his eventual removal. Alaexis¿question? 21:38, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Ahmed Khel

message: The following coordinate fixes are needed for
The Battle of Ahmed Khel (1880). It did not occur at Ahmad Khel in Pakistan, as these incorrect coordinates suggest.
The battle occurred on the route from Kandahar to Kabul, probably very near the current A1 highway.  Ahmed Khel was a supposed village marked on the British maps where the Gul Koh hills have a spur that crossed the road to Kabul, but no village was found there at the time of the battle.  Per "The Afghan War of 1879-80" by Howard Hensman (available on Google books) the battle was about 20 miles from Ghazni, and after the battle the British column spent the night at Nani, within 15 miles of Ghazni.  Nani can be found on modern maps of Afghanistan, near the A1 south of Ghazni.  The night before the battle, the British column stayed at the town of Mushaki, which is also found on modern maps, farther south on the A1.
The Battle of Ahmed Khel must have occurred somewhere near modern day Pachawal or Nyazullah, but exactly which of the hills in the area is hard to tell without more info.

Talk:Daft Club

message: The remixer's name is misspelled on the official album artwork. However, to preserve verifiability and remain consistent the error should remain in the track listing provided here.  The same rationale is shown in the Discogs link provided at the bottom of the article.  Also, the misspelled name still links to the correctly spelled one and is clearly marked with [sic] to prevent further confusion. Just64helpin 17:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not about verifiability or consistency. This is about the lack of familiarity between mainstream audiences and electronic music, and the lack of respect for artists perceived as obscure. If the collaborative effort had been made by someone famous, and listed as, for example, Mick Jager, Maria Carey or Pharral Williams, the mistake on the sleeve would have been corrected when transcribed here. But just because Dlugosch's material has never played on MTV, you feel the need to go around giving wrong information "just because it says so on the artwork". The label messed up on the guy's name, plain and simple. It's not a pseudonym or any form of artistic license. Just put the "c" back on his name where it belongs. --Pc13 00:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Rolando 01:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm glad you liked the page. I thought I would respond to your qestions.
* I took most of these names from a list from the Human Behavior and Evolution Society. That list had a lot of broken links. I excluded names that didn't have a list of publications, (at least that I could find), and I excluded non-english papers. I included other names that weren't on that list but had publications in evolution and human behavior, (e.g. Dennis Krebs). I made an exception with William Hamilton. I couldn't find a list of his publications, so I included his Memorial Site. Why, you may ask? Because he's William Hamilton! If you have other names that can be added to this list with links to their publications, by all means feel free to add them.
* I thought about making redlinks, but then I figured I'd just get one of those labels on this page that says, "This page has an excess of redlinks." I figured links could be added as new pages were created. It doesn't really matter to me, though, if there are redlinks. If you want to add some redlinks to pages that you plan on creating, go for it!
* A page for Scholars in Evolution and Human Behavior? Sounds great. But then, doesn't this page sort of imply that kind of a list?
* I was wondering...should a list of research interests be listed next to each person's name?

message: While Hacking does include information on this Dudas was a clerk and part time gas pipe-fitter. All the victims were clerks, artisans, and small shop owners. Today the victims are college students. They would qualify for the description knowledge worker.
Hacking blamed ecological and sociological niches. That is the current belief in psychology.
In the 1960's designers and psychologists accidentally discovered a conflict of physiology when it caused mental breaks for knowledge workers using the first production models of movable close-spaced office workstations. 
Herman Miller Inc. introduced the Action Office 1 in 1964 but modified it to the Action Office System by 1968. They added vision blocking panels and created the Cubicle. 
The victims of Dissociative Fugue in the 1800's had jobs that would have caused exposure to Subliminal Distraction. There was no one to discover why those clerks and shop owners were victims of Fugue. 
They had the same mental breaks discovered in the 1960's.
