thread_title: Artricle content

message: In this diff the intro was changed from
A Fork in the road is the point where a road splits into two parts. A similar split in a river is also called a fork. While a Y intersection is a fork in the road, the phrase is a widely-used metaphor for a turning point in life where a major decision is required.  to
A Fork in the road is a metaphor for a deciding moment or a turning point in life when a major choice of options is required.  with an edit summary of "this article is about a metaphor, not about fork".
No one is arguing that this article is not about a metaphor.  However, the current version of the article does not explain the origin of the metaphor at all.  The metaphor arises from the use of the term to describe a road junction.  Therefore the article should say that the term is used to describe road junctions leading to its use as a metaphor for a major turning point in one's life.  No? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs) 21:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Valid point. A reference to wikt:fork in the road added. By the way, just noticed, there is no "Turning point" article either :-) (the page is a disambig). Any volunteers for Turning point (metaphor)?  `'mikkanarxi 04:44, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "This article is an adorable little puppy that I'd like to keep around, but there's no one to take care of it and it pees in the house." 
Booyabazooka's comment is completely true. I really, really wish there was some actual reason to keep this around, as it's such a great idea (I actually just drew on it, and for some reason, had a surprising amount of fun). Unfortunately, it's simply not notable- but it's a damn shame, because it should be notable. -- Kicking222 21:47, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Helena Vale, Western Australia

message: The reason for the creation of the article (and its wording) is the identiification of a part of Midland history before boundary wars between the mundaring and midland councils moved things around at the foot of the swan view and the eastern side of midland were codified into the various forms of midvale .  As such there are parts of the landscape that 'had' evidence, in the naming of the race course and the railway line.  They were both significant identified locations in the movement of troops from Black Boy hill during the first world war.  imho I believe that is sufficient to keep the article as it is.

The latter was a wikipedia article, was deleted subsequent to AFD discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick Dranias.  I kept a copy of the article here in this version.  My copy or another version that anyone could obtain by request from any administrator, could be used in developing a new article on Nick Dranias.  If that is done, i'd suggest doing it in userspace, and being sure to include more secondary coverage to address AFD concerns, before moving to mainspace.  Good luck with this Goldwater Institute article. --doncram 18:05, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Eberhard II, Count of Württemberg

message: Hi,
I would like to offer to help by fixing up a few bits of the english in this article which do not read well for a native english speaker such as me. Normally I would just make those changes as minor changes and not ask first but there is one paragraph which needs a change which would not necessarily be a minor change since the meaning of one sentence has to change. It is this:
A sensation was created 1367 by the assault of Count Wolf von Eberstein on Eberhard II and his son Ulrich during their stay "in Wildbad" (presumably Wildbad or Teinach). Both fled and seized Neueberstein Castle immediately with a large amount of men. However this siege turned out to be unsuccessful.
The second sentence states that Eberhard and his son 'seized the castle', the third sentence that 'this seige' was unsuccessful. I would imagine that the second sentence should therefore read 'They fled, returned shortly thereafter with a large number of men and laid seige to the castle.'  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ellayhere (talk • contribs) 13:47, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name 

message: Some mention of Bronko’s hilarious appearances on TTS with Johnny Carson in the 1980s is warranted. Bronko was a born storyteller and made Johnny crack up at least one time per show - no easy task. Not only was he a scheduled guest, but he was one of Johnny’s go-tos when another guest cancelled. That was 40 years ago and I was about 18, and yet my mind’s eye can recall vividly Bronko telling stories that made Johnny - and the nation*  - laugh so hard our stomach muscles hurt the next day. 
Bronko’s TTS career deserves at least a couple of sentences.

*This was when the Big Three networks still dominated the airwaves. Over 6 million people watched Johnny every night. Jules820 (talk) 21:27, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't find any evidence online that Nagurski ever appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Not even Nagurski's IMDb page makes reference to it. This article makes it seem like he retired from public spotlight around 1960, so I would be surprised if he made multiple appearances on Carson in the 1980s. A quick Google search indicates the player you are likely thinking of is Art Donovan. Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:40, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Two-Faced Woman

message: I have a question, how could this movie have lost $62,000 when it grossed $1,800,000 ($875,000 in the U.S. and Canada and $925,000 elsewhere) on a $1,247,000 budget? If these figures are correct, the film made a profit of $553,000. I doesn't add up, it doesn't make any sense at all. Other sites I have read seem to agree that Two-Faced Woman made a minor profit at the box office, and that it in fact did not loose money, contrary to popular belief.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClassicEditor97 (talk • contribs) 04:42, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
