message: Attention, all contributors to the Valve Task Force and the articles it constitutes!
I am here to announce that I will be re-vitalizing the Valve Task Force, aimed at universally improving articles constituting Valve Corporation, their employees, associates and products. This specific task force has been dormant for quite some time and with two very notable releases coming out this year, I feel like this is the appropriate time to re-stimulate the general aim of this group. For those who are not already members of the Valve Task Force, feel free to add your name to our members list and contribute to whatever articles you feel your contributions may prove beneficial for. Valve, its products and notable employees have proven to be essential to the progression of the video game industry, so I'd like to make a call of arms for this cause.

replies: text: This is not a third party mod, neither is Deathmatch Classic, these are both primary releases from Valve. I've already added sources and these are both games which are involved with any purchase of Half Life. Common sense would suggest this is notable having both been accessed on over 10 million PCs. These games have died since, but notability cannot be lost and sources have been provided. Valoem talk contrib 21:51, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  And notability is not temporary. If you have sources from its heyday, perhaps print sources, then we're fine. The issue is that insufficient sources currently exist to write a dedicated article about this topic... Without a single review, it's only going to collect unsourced cruft. See the concurrent Talk:Deathmatch Classic#Redirect for why we typically merge this stuff. Has nothing to do with "common sense" or how many copies have been distributed—either we have enough reliable sources with which to write an article, or we have spotted mentions that together do not make for a complete, authoritative article on the topic. czar 00:46, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Digital image processing

message: Proposed merge of digital imaging and digital image processing. It is unclear to me why the two pages need to be separate, when the only difference seems to be that maybe "digital imaging" concerns itself slightly more with the creation of the image. If a deeper dive is necessary on how an image is captured physically, image sensor seems to be the ideal place for that information. Explanation of the computer science and what happens once an image has been captured could then be made on the "digital imaging/image processing" page. Note: I am not merely suggesting that both pages refer to the same thing, but that they overlap substantially, and both pages, the editors and the readership, would benefit from a merged page that has a strong direction and flow.
As for whether the target page should be this one or digital imaging, I have no strong opinions, but the argument for using DIP is that DI is less developed once a lot of the waffle has been removed. Otherwise, using DI makes sense, as the term naturally encompasses more than purely processing (if that distinction is important, as it seems reasonable to say that all digital imaging is in the processing). If I'm missing something, please let me know—perhaps "image" doesn't always refer to what we might think of as a "picture", but if that's the case, one or both of these articles need heavy rewriting to address that. Thanks. — Hazzzzzz12 (talk) 11:47, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Fort Douglas (Canada)

message: This page should probably mention something about Fort Douglas, Utah since it is refereced by several other Wikipedia pages.

replies: text: Fort Douglas was actually burned down once by supporters of the North West Company, shortly after completion in 1815, but this did not happen again. The fort was not burned down twice, as erroneously reported by a previous editor (which I corrected). In fact, after the Battle of Seven Oaks, the Métis occupied it instead, since their own Fort Gibraltar had just been destroyed by fire at the hands of the Red River colonists. --Skol fir (talk) 01:29, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Havana Daydreamin'

message: I can confirm that some versions of the album include tracks not listed on the album cover or record labels. The album I've owned for many years, (purchased in 1976) includes "Please Take Your Drunken Fifteen Year Old Girlfriend Home", and omits the tracks "Cliches", and "Defying Gravity". There are two slightly different versions of "Kick It In Second Wind".
"15 Year Old Girlfriend" is one of my favorite Buffett songs. The lyrics are amusing, and it has a catchy groove to it.
When I lived in San Diego in the late eighties and early nineties, a DJ on KLOS in L.A. used to kick off the weekend with a trio of songs and "15 Year old Girlfriend" was one of them.

Talk:David Herman

message: Edits from last April name Herman's family members and further add that both of his parents abandoned the family when he was 7 (father) and 11 (mother). Each parent apparently died later the same year they left. 
I can't find anything online to verify the abandonment claims, and one would think that someone working their way to fame after such setbacks would be newsworthy. Furthermore, they're contradictory - the mother is supposedly dead, but the sister works for her mother's company. These edits were done by an IP account that hasn't been active since that time. 
Since they can't be verified, I'm removing it. I've also removed the other additions by the same editor. If they're going to be reinserted, citations will be required.
