message: "The second best university in the UK" without a citation saying so amounts to opinion, better wording would be "The University of Oxford, as referred to by students and faculty at Cambridge University," but even that use must be supported by the same information in either Oxford, Cambridge, or both, with citations of course.
I recommend removal of this line until it is cited in one of the two articles, and once it is cited, removal of any mention of "second best" as it's inappropriate for a disambiguation page.  davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 20:50, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not adequate.  In order to use the term here, we need to show that term is used to refer to Oxford by more than a small group of people, and also that it does not refer to other universities.  If it's merely used by Cambridge affiliates, it doesn't belong here.  If the same term is used to refer to "the other school" in other university rivalries, it doesn't belong here.  davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 22:25, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dispute Oxford use of The Other Place 

message: I removed "The University of Oxford, the second best university in the UK" because
1) there's no cited mention of it on the target web page
2) and there's no indication that this is unique to this school
3) and there's no indication it's use is widespread outside of Oxford- or Cambridge-connected circles.
Fix all 3 problems, with reliable sources, and document it in either a Cambridge or Oxford article, and it can come back.  davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 15:02, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Plaza

message: I don't know the best way to do this:  the pronunciations we have are indeed the correct ones for Spanish, but they are not the standard ones for English, at least for Americans.  In my area (Kansas City), it would be normal to pronounce it ['plæzə] or ['plazə].  I'd add this, but I'd like some other opinions first.  --Xyzzyva 18:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Pedestrian Plaza]] 

message: It seems to me that a 'Plaza' is just a subtype of a 'Town Square', and the subjects described in both articles seem like they serve a similar purpose. The Spanish Colonial plazas described here fit squarely (ha) into the definition of the squares described on the town square article. The Plazas described as existing in the United States are also redundant to the descriptions in town square. I propose that we merge the articles under town square and copy over the information on Spanish-American Plazas as well as the list of Plazas, some of which are named 'square'. 
Flameoguy (talk) 01:35, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a merge of Plaza is appropriate, but a good chunk of the text is specific to Plaza de Armas, a type of plaza with a specific history in Spanish/Spanish colonial urban planning that likely deserves its own page. Maybe merge the material here to either or both of town square and Plaza de Armas as appropriate?--Carwil (talk) 18:50, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree with that. I didn't know the Plaza de Armas article existed at the time of my first comment, but reading over it, it definitely fits with a lot of material in the Plaza article. Flameoguy (talk) 00:57, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:People's Commissariat for Education

message: Maybe it is helpful, if I collect some questions, and little facts here, so somebody can add them to the article at some point:
*When was Narkompros created? It looks like 1917, but I am not sure. Fitzpatrick in the quoted book says that Lunacharsky was appointed People's Commissar of Education on October 27, 1917 (p.1), but Narkompros seems to be later (November?).
*Lunarchasky remains Commissar of Enlightenment until 1929 (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly_Lunacharsky)

thread_title:  Chael Sonnen 

message: Lead section is clear and does a good job of giving an overview of what trash talk is but it fails to address the other potential uses of trash-talk. Trash-talk can also be used in terms of gossiping among everyday people or in music/rap (e.g. Taylor Swift vs Katy Perry). This article only explores its use in sports. As well, many of the sentences lack citations. The last reference, Blizzard , is unclear and seems irrelevant to the overall purpose of the article (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/legal/eula.html).

Talk:Mary (Mai) Huttleston Rogers Coe

message: I had previously established this article as redirect to her mother's page. Without intending to discourage new contributions to WP, IMHO, the recent changes by Phil Fish are too much like the text on the website he cited to avoid our copyvio members flagging us. To avoid that, I have copied over what i already had in the mother's article, and added a little. I would encourage Phil Fish to improve it with information from multiple sources. Mai was an amazing woman, and web searches turn up lots more about her. My main interest is that I have written extensively on the Virginian Railway, and hence, Henry and Abbie Rogers, William R. Coe, etc. I have added some of these article to the see also for this article.  
For the WP history, I am copying the part I removed below. Please do not restore it to the article in current form, nor become discouraged from this action. WP is all about collaboration.

Talk:Organ grinder

message: This page could handle some clean up. Sentences such as "The picture on this page is a good example for a modern organ grinder, as he is very well dressed." do not look very appropriate in an encyclopedic format. Also, the Modern Usage section is rather unorganized and almost superfluous. Centrisian (talk) 00:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Clean Up

message: The article gives the strong impression that organ grinders were an utter nuisance in the urban west of the 19th century, but presumably enough people enjoyed their performances to support a large concentration of them, so I wonder if any expressions of esteem can be found in contemporary sources or how else their survival can be explained. The statement about New York having one on every block needs a source: that is really remarkable if true. If indeed they were so widespread and yet so reviled this needs to be explained somehow. Why didn't they simply pack in the organ-grinding and become straightforward beggars if their music was so unpopular? Beorhtwulf (talk) 18:45, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Common squirrel monkey

message: As Puerto Rico has been separated from the mainland for a very long time, and likely for a time much longer than the speciation of squirrel monkeys, is it really plausible that they are native to Puerto Rico?

thread_title:  Thank you to all who helped! 

message: As a result of taxonomy research since 2009, this species has been split up into several, with S. scuireus limited to the populations in parts of Brazil and the Guianas.  If it is not clear which references based on the prior taxonomy refer to S. scuireus as the species is currently understood, it may be necessary to create a new article for S. scuireus under the common name "Guianan squirrel monkey" (which seems to be the widely accepted name now given the restricted range) and turn this article from a species article into a more general article addressing the several species that used to be included within S. scuireus.  I encountered a similar situation for the white-fronted capuchin, and left a more extensive discussion of this type of solution on its talk page, although in that situation there is clearly material that applies to what are now considered different species.  Before making significant changes to this article along those lines, I would be interested in any feedback. Rlendog (talk) 22:02, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Going through some of the sources, we have some sources in the article that are explicitly based on studies on Colombian squirrel monkeys, which are no longer included within S. scuireus, and others that are not specific about the locality, so the solution I suggested for the white-fronted capuchin may be necessary here.
