Talk:Asakusa

message: The '浅' of 浅草 does not meaning "morning", but (variously) "shallow", "wretched" or "shameful".  Unless somebody can sort out the etymology and choose the right one I'll leave this out. Jpatokal 05:06, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Meaning of 浅

message: I've added a template suggesting merging Nakamise-Dori into Asakusa. The street is, according to the article, about 250 m long, and the article focuses more on shops and tourism than on transportation. It seems to be a natural to add to the article on Asakusa.

text: It is hard to tell what should be done with the article in its current form. I debated creating it when I first started working on related articles earlier this year (Kaminarimon, Hozomon, Sanja Matsuri, etc.) but ultimately decided against it. I'm not sure how much information about Nakamise-dori is out there and if it is enough to justify a whole article. In its current form however, I would have to support this suggestion. --TorsodogTalk 07:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

text: I would suggest that it instead be merged into Sensō-ji, as it's more directly related to the temple than to the wider larger area. However, I am not particularly opposed to it being merged into Asakusa. LordAmeth (talk) 01:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: LordAmeth, that's a good point. I'd also support merging into Sensō-ji. It doesn't have to be Asakusa. Fg2 (talk) 10:16, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/VeryVerily2

message: I suggest that this group consider that Neutrality has enaged in activites which could imply a hidden anti-Bush agenda. If that is true, this underscores perhaps his motivations against VeryVerily. A careful examination of Neutrality's actions at the George_W._Bush talk page and history  will show he had considerable conflict with VeryVerily there. 
Looking at that in the light of the conflict Neutrality has been invloved with me at John Kerry, leads me to believe that there is a drive to silence certain editors which disagree with him polticially. For your information, in a current Arbitration proceeding, my chief complaints against Neutrality are: Misleading/false eEdit summaries, excessive reversions and refusal to dialog on Talk page.
Also, please take note of the Rfc  against the user name "Neutrality" and see that Neutrality is quick to "archive" anything which impacts him, while at the same time, has no problems with persuing others.

Talk:Franz Ferdinand (band)

message: I propose that a hatnote be added to this page for Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and to the page Franz Ferdinand (disambiguation).  This change will ease navigation between the related topics. These two pages already contain hatnotes pointing to this page for the band.  Adding the links on this article will make them bi-directional to aid any reader that lands on this page when intending to find other uses of "Franz Ferdinand".
Request for comments from  and other interested editors.
Thanks for your consideration. DutchTreat (talk) 10:33, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Please see Wikipedia:Hatnote, in particular the section Wikipedia:Hatnote#Disambiguating_article_names_that_are_not_ambiguous. Where we have two articles with similar titles, we only put a hatnote on the title without disambiguation (Franz Ferdinand), pointing to the more specific, disambiguated title (Franz Ferdinand (band)), and not the other way round.

Talk:Daystrom Data Concepts

message: I have never heard of the Daystrom Data Concepts company (And the star trek encyclopedia doesnt mention it). However the Daystrom institute is not a company but, as it's name says, an institute. It is my guess that the person who started this article was using non-canon sources. Could someone check?
In Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, Daystrom Data Concepts are mentioned as the manufacturer of USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A main computer. It reports that the computer is located in the core of the saucer section directly beneath the helm console. It could be speculated that Daystrom Data Concepts is a commercial arm of the Daystrom Institute.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antcollins (talk • contribs) 09:37, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Fumoto no iro

message: Sorry for my late responce. I'm notified of this case only lately, and did not have time to respond. The text titled "Fumoto no iro" does exist. It is in  Kinsei Bungei Sousyo (Early Modern Literary Collection) published by Kokusyo Kankoukai, a decent publisher, in 1976. I have no further relevant info on the nature or the contents of the text, though I would try to do some research if it is important. I have an access to the source cited in the article (Sex and the Floating World: Erotic Images in Japan, 1700-1820), so perhaps I can check the validity of what the article says, or some other basic facts.

message: The attribution for the comment  that Clapton "later admitted to raping and abusing his wife" does not link to such an admission. He does not admit to "rape" in any of the listed sources. He admits to being generally "abusive" which is a far cry from raping someone. As Clapton has become a touchstone for youth due to racist statements made in the 1970s and his position on vaccines, this excited statement seems to reflect a bias, due to the negative nature in which it casts the subject. 2604:3D09:717C:4300:1554:BD8E:24FB:667D (talk) 13:28, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

message: The phrases "SM may refer to" and "SM stands for" are both listed as acceptable in WP:MOSDAB. "Refers to" is broader and more inclusive of a variety of entries which may come and go on this page.  It includes acronyms, initialisms, and also actual name uses such as SM Prime Holdings and even .sm which may or may not "stand for" something.  No reasoning has yet been given for choosing the narrower verbage.  As to the wiktionary link, most of the wiktionary entries in the original box contained very little information, therefore I have chosen to de-clutter the box by including only the "SM" listing, which is, after all, the title of this page.

Talk:Detection Club

message: I removed the link on "this day" in "continued to this day" because:
* It linked to 2006.
* Even if it were fixed to always link to the current year, it is pointless and misleading. Anyone reading the page would, I think, expect the given link to go somewhere discussion the club's existence today, or maybe even its history... but certainly not to an article on (current year).
I removed the link to code of ethics because it was a link to a disambiguation page. Rather than re-pointing it to the correct page, I struck it for similar reasons to the this day link: it'd be expected to be a discussion of the club's code of ethics, not of codes of ethics in general.

I actually own a copy of this edition, and I will check to see what the introductory matter shows about the authorship and original sponsorship (If I can find my copy).
