thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: Dear author of the Wikipedia article on Martinus Sieveking,
I am very interested in finding any existing pedagogical materials written by Sieveking. I have managed to find and obtain the two articles he wrote for Etude magazine in 1915 and 1916, but they only give a brief introduction to his pedagogical method. In the interview with Harriet Brower in her book, "Piano Mastery," he speaks of a manuscript detailing his method that he was intending to publish.
I have been able to find absolutely nothing of his pedagogical method save the Brower interview and the two Etude articles. Are you aware of how I might find other materials? Perhaps he has living descendants? (I was able to find that his grandson Leonard Vincent, a notable school teacher, passed away in 2004, Senta having passed away in 2000. I have not found mention of any other living descendants.)
Thank you in advance for your help and all best greetings! Aaron  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8071:B181:101:9973:F99C:3FC7:CB56 (talk) 11:31, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

message: This image is a image illustrating a living person. Such images are not accepted under the fair use criteria if there is not a really good reason why a freely licensed image can be created. Rettetast 19:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Plenty of acceptable fair use images illustrate living persons, screenshots of films and TV shows for example. This particular image is a screenshot from a TV advertisment, and is being used to illustrate discussion of the advertisment in the specified article. A freely licensed image that would serve the same purpose could not be created, unless such an image was provided by the copyright holder. Since the use of this image clearly goes beyond mere identification of the person in question, I believe its use satisfies the terms of the license. PC78 20:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

According to the Kansai Power in Japan, the "RAPID project", or Research and Public Information Dissemination Program, 1993–December 1998), was conducted. The department final report was presented to the US Congress in June 1999 (due 1992 Energy Policy Act: PL102-486 Section 2118). In the above link, 2+ publications are mentioned;
*May 1998: Working group report,
*June 1999: final report,
*  the Interagency Committee (IAC) was planned to release scientific knowledge gained therein for citizens and policy makers.

replies: text: Yes, I deleted it: sorry to not explain. But first, it's probably better not to give voice to third party companies providing what is not-that-great-a-service; and second, the best summary should be HERE on Wikipedia. An appropriate external link would be something like the Bailii transcript of the case itself, but I think Bailii hasn't done one yet. Those are good reasons, and I delete every single external link to lawnix, swarb, or whatever else I find for the same reason. As for your self indulgent boo-hooing over getting reverted, I think very few people would care! If you were an avid contributor by the same name two years ago, I never saw anything you did. But if you want to come and create new pages, add something substantive, which is quality driven and accurate, I personally welcome it with open arms. We need all the English lawyers we can get!

Talk:Seafood allergy

message: Allergies to finned fish (salmon, talapia, etc.) effect some 3% of the United State's population and are not referenced in the article. Many individuals with a shellfish allergy will not be adversely affected by finned fish and vice versa. It is concerning in that many people are unaware that this particular allergy exists despite actually suffering from it and as such are at greater risk. A more experienced wikipedia user than I will hopefully be able to rectify this oversite.

Then immediately mentions that lobster et al. are eaten as shellfish.

Talk:Helen Tracy Lowe-Porter

message: This article appears to have been written by someone who wishes to promote the work of John E Woods. The same hand was (before I modified it) at work in the article on Mann's Doctor Faustus. I have there removed the unreferenced expressions of opinion, which had remained for several months despite a clear challenge in the discussion page. In the present article I have posted requests for citations on the contents of statements which appear to be statements of editor opinion without reference. As this article is about H T Porter Lowe (d 1963) the work of John E Woods, whose translations belong to a later generation, cannot have any bearing except in a posthumous comparison, which would require citation for reference in wikipedia.

thread_title: To the Wikipedia Editors

message: The text says: "Mann expressed his appreciation to Lowe-Porter for her work, nicknaming her "die Lowe" ("the lion" in German)".
Is this really meant to be a nickname? The word "Lowe" doesn't meant anything in German. "The lion" would be either "der Löwe" (male) or "die Löwin" (female). It seems to me that he simply referred to her by name adding the female article which is not unusual, e.g. Marlene Dietrich was often referred to as "die Dietrich" or Hildegard Knef as "die Knef".91.22.6.30 (talk) 20:20, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Regarding the book listed in the "Further reading" section — see its profile from the library in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, which owns a copy.  Whether or not the IP who posted is the person she says she is, the official publication data say that the book is by Esther Leonard, not by her son; therefore, changing the author's name (even if that's technically correct) would make it much harder to find the book.

Talk:Snapper (video game)

message: The original Pacman is known for its perfect score of 3,333,360 (first achieved by Billy Mitchell in 1999) but is there anything comparable for Snapper? The first thing to note is that the displayed Snapper score is six digits long, so the highest score that can be displayed is 999,999 (which would actually be 999,990 because everything comes in multiples of 10). Does the score max out at this point or does it reset? Is there a kill screen? What's the furthest anyone has ever gone? Additionally, it seems to me that the appearance of "fruits" in Snapper is random and uncapped, so the maximum possible score is probably unlimited, i.e. you could just endlessly run around in an acorn level eating acorns whenever they appear. If nobody replies I will play the game through in an emulator (using save-state) and report back with my findings. Custardslice7 (talk) 10:40, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I have passed the 999,999 mark and what happened was that the score continued to rise. The "1" representing one million overwrote the colon that precedes the score, so even though only six characters were blank, the score is evidently not limited by this. I believe integer variables in Basic go beyond two billion, so the maximum score will be way up there. Okay, that's me done. Custardslice7 (talk) 10:26, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

message: These appear to be in the same place - do we need separate articles for the township (created 2008) and the unincorporated community (created 2005)? Neither of them mentions the existence of the other, though both are listed in the County template. If we do need both, surely each should mention the other? I know nothing about Kansas geography, but take an interest in Silverdales as I live in one in the UK. PamD 07:55, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: They aren't the same.  Some previous editor(s) made mistakes in both articles by choosing the wrong GNIS and it's associated data, which is why they either appeared to be the same or transposed, so I fixed the problem to resolve the issue.  This 1905 map shows the "Silverdale community" in section 5 of the "Silverdale township".  • Sbmeirow • Talk • 09:20, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it looks to me as if the map shows Silverdale PO, but no more of a "community". But I leave it to Kansas locals. I've tweaked the articles a little, so that they both clarify and link to the other. PamD 16:24, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The community of Silverdale is shown in the 2005 map that appears in the infobox of the article.  It has to be a community, because the Kansas state highway map doesn't show townships.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_Cowley_Co,_Ks,_USA.png  The current 2021 kansas highway map shows the community of Silverdale too.  http://www.ksdot.org/Assets/wwwksdotorg/bureaus/burTransPlan/maps/state-pdf/StateMap.pdf  The "PO" means Post Office on 1800s maps, which is typical for an unincorporated community... a community that is too small to become legally incorporated as a city.  • Sbmeirow • Talk • 05:05, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Many articles for UK places start off "xxx is a village and civil parish in ...", where both entities exist but it serves the reader better to offer just the one article. I thought that might be the same for this community and township, but perhaps US places are treated differently. PamD 05:21, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Maybe they also want to "save face" by disassociating early "pro-Southern" Tecumseh settlers from endorsing slavery (and indeed they were probably too poor to own any), but why else would it have mattered back then that they were "pro-Southern", if it wasn't because of slavery (because secession was not yet a major issue)?
