Talk:List of law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin

message: Most of the police departments linked to in this article do not even have articles about them. Is there an intention at some point to create articles about each individual police department that's listed? --PaulBustion88 (talk) 20:31, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Personally, I disagree with that. I mean, that would lead to having articles about completely unimportant cases on wikipedia. I think only the major ones should be listed. Its like how there are articles about random high schools and colleges on this website. I find it a tad bit ridiculous.--PaulBustion88 (talk) 03:45, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:310 Motoring

message: The article deserves not only completion: the company's website seems to be gone, and my web research led me merely to hints regarding cars improved by 310 already years ago, or to shoe-related sources. Some address sources still have the customizing company on their list, but show either no further link or just the same unavailable URL. One - meanwhile faded - source, shown only in my Google results list as a cache-trace seems to say (resp. to have said) diversification led to a situation hard to handle, ending in the rights for the (shoe) label having to be sold and the car customizing company closed. Presumably by 2006 or 2007.

Talk:Altavista petroglyph complex

message: I've removed most of the text formerly at this article- it is a reproduction of material appearing on this site. Unable to establish whether the wiki article or the ext site has the priority, but given the wiki article appeared mostly intact, suspect copyvio. I suppose it's possible that the article's creator (coincidentally now banned for 1 year for another matter) and the website's author are one and the same, though if so it's not indicated anywhere. In any case, according to an early version of this article, the text only reproduces the contents of signage at the site, supposedly written by INAH.
Either way, this doesn't seem appropriate content (and what's more some of the claims seem rather dubious). Needs to be re-researched and written from scratch.--cjllw ʘ TALK 08:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Blackburn Firecrest

message: The article states:
" Operational experience had found Blackburn's Firecrest strike fighter to be far from suited to carrier operations. In particular, the pilot sat near the wing's trailing edge, looking over a very long and wide nose"
As this aircraft never reached operational status, it is not clear how this might have happened. More to the point, the Firecrest does not have a cockpit near the trailing edge nor does it have a particularly long nose. I strongly suspect this is actually talking about the Firebrand, which did meet this description in all ways. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Perfectly clear? Hardly. The first mention of 1997 is over 3/4 of the way through the article. Even then, it never explicitly states when the shootings happen - you have to infer from the dates of the wife's account that it was sometime in or before 1997. The closest to a real date is in the references, a totally unencyclopedic solution. Remember the basics of writing - who, what, where, when and why. You also might want to check out WP:LEAD for ideas on how to fix the opening sentences. CovenantD 00:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, my comment was meant to be ironic; the first paragraph's allusion to a vague "Sunday" made me laugh.  I speculate that a lot of the problems with this article result from text pasted in directly from newspaper articles, with heavy POV paraphrasing; a lot of it has to go.  --The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 00:43, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Since the entire book is freely available as a pdf at the above URL, I guess there isn't an issue surrounding Copyright?

message: This article have some sentences that needs to be rewrited. I'm the portuguese editor of the Lincoln County War, Billy The Kid and Richard Brewer articles, and there is a lot of erros in this one. They weren't a gang or a bunch of killers, just like the text suggests. Some times people confuses Billy The Kid history with Regulators and the other members history. Many of them, like Billy, Henry Brown, Chavez y Chavez, Tom O'Folliard etc became outlaws after the war. But there were a lot of them, like the Coe cousins, Frank McNab, Doc Scurlock etc, who never were outlaws, before or after the war. De Portago (talk) 20:49, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

When he was killed, the Regulators voted for Mcnab. So many of these pages about the LCW and characters secondary to Billy all seem to follow the plot of Young Guns, which is mostly fiction or based on skimming.
