Category talk:Texas country music

message: Should this really be merged with or at the very least made a subcategory of :Category:Texas musicians?  This might be a somewhat broader category than was intended by Texas music, but it seems to be inevitable.  This would also reduce confusion between this and :Category:Music of Texas. -MrFizyx 17:55, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Making it a subcategory is definitely appropriate. My intention when I created the category was to also create an article about the "Texas music" genre, which is different than musicians who simply are "from" Texas. I still think that separation makes sense, but an article about the genre and some accompanying text on this category would help with that. I'll work to make this clearer (of course help is appreciated!) Lbbzman 18:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, I'll give you some time to make this more clear.  I assume your aiming at the type of music described in the movie "Heartworn Highways."

message: A golfer should tee the ball between the two markers for their given distance.
This is incorrect. Sounds nice, but there is no such etiquette rule in actual practice. An observant golfer will often tee up several feet behind the marker-line because that's where one is more likely to find a flatter surface and less-damaged grass, and the few extra feet makes no difference otherwise to the shot. --Michael K SmithTalk  19:27, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: It is rather accepted that Suyuti was to some extent influenced by Sufism. In the introduction to his own explanation of his Alfiyyah the verifier wrote a brief biography of him and inlcuded some examples illistrating this. 212.71.33.86 21:02, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

The leaders and rich people would go to visit him and would present him with valuable wealth, but he would return it to them."
The first sentence seems definitely out of place in an encyclopedia that strives to be objective, as those aren't exactly facts. The latter bit could be true, but would probably require some kind of source, no? I'll leave this to the author to edit... 
"This in itself is a testimony of his acceptance among the people and a lofty rank with Allāh."

message: This guy (Alex Vilienkin) has become famous because Wiliam Lane Craig is using him to justify his Kalam Cosmological Argument - i.e. that no matter how many universes there are, including the multiverse, it must have a "beginning".

Sounds like someone came toa  conclusion and didn't like it too much because of their theological belief...???

message: A credential is a proof of qualification, competence, or clearance...
Would it also be proper to add "identity," as later on in the article, passwords and such are mentioned?  My perception is examples of the primary meaning are diplomas, degrees, and certificates, with a secondary meaning of the codes needed for identification and access.  I'm not sure that's adequately covered by "clearance."

Talk:Kirlia

message: I believe it is inappropriate to include a trivia entry in the Kirlia and Cosmo articles stating they resemble each other.  A resemblance is a matter of opinion and original research.  As indicated by WP:OR original research has no place on Wikipedia.
Put it another way, if arbitrary resemblances were allowed to appear on this site as encyclopedic content, Wikipedia would become very bloated indeed.  We'd have to connect the Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal articles, Maleficent and the dragon from Shrek, as well as Cid from Final Fantasy 8 and Robin Williams.  And these are just from the entertainment sphere.  What if we decide the biology articles should include resemblances too, and list a bunch of resemblances in the Norway Spruce article.  The article would get very long, that's for certain; I personally think the Norway Spruce looks like virtually every tree I've ever seen.
As a matter of personal opinion, I do believe that Kirlia bears a slight similarity to Cosmo.  But I vigorously object to this information being included in their respective Wikipedia articles, as it is a matter of opinion and original research.  It is not encyclopedic information, and Wikipedia is not the place for random tibits of info.  Please see WP:NOT#OR and WP:NOT#INFO Bhamv 11:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
