Talk:Operation Totem

message: The table on this page and the contents of any nuclear tests infobox are generated from a database of nuclear testing which I have maintained and researched for a number of years. The table is automatically generated from that database by a Visual Basic script, and then has, periodically, been inserted into the page manually. I began doing this in October of 2013.
Recently a user complained (politely) to me about the practice.  It seems to him that it removes control from all editors besides myself over the content.  He believes it is tantamount to WP:OWNED of the pages affected.  He also points out that there is no public mention of the fact anywhere on wikipedia, and that is true, through my own oversight, until now.
There was no intent that the pages affected should be owned by myself; in fact, one of my reasons for building these pages was to solicit (in the wikipedia way) criticism and corrections to the data, perhaps additional references that I had been unable to locate. I have regenerated the tables twice in the days since they were originally placed.  Each time I did so, I performed a diff between the current version and the version that I put up in the previous cycle; all corrections were then either entered into the database or corrected in the programming, as appropriate.  As may be guessed, the programming corrections were frequent to start out as suggestions about the table formatting were raised, and most incorporated. I have not made judgements on the "usefulness" of corrections; all have been incorporated, or I have communicated directly with the editor to settle the matter.  In fact it was in pursuing such a correction that this matter came up.
I am posting this comment on the Talk page of every page containing content which is so generated. If you would like to comment on this matter, please go to the copy on Talk:List of nuclear tests so the discussion can be kept together.  I will also be placing a maintained template on each Talk page (if anyone would like also to be named as a maintainer on one or all pages, you are welcome). I solicit all comments and suggestions.

replies: text: Hi SkoreKeep, good to see your explanatory text above. The reason I removed the note was that it explained a number of things that were not relevant to this particular series of two tests. It was codenamed, that's clear, but that's in the article title - there's no need for that to be repeated in the footnote. It was not numbered in a Totem 1-1, Totem 1-2 or any other such series, as explained in the footnote, so there was no need for that sentence either. There was no need for translation into English, and the test was not cancelled, nor aborted. None of the sentences were required to explain this test, though they may have been very helpful for explaining other tests. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 22:45, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

message: * "Teaching literacy" section is too long; move details to reading education.  See Wikipedia:Summary style for help.  
* References are needed in many places
* How is reading taught in languages other than English?  What about Chinese?  Hiragana?
* A mention that in some countries literacy is taught in a language that children don't speak at home.
* A discussion of the merits of writing systems in relation to literacy. Include the paradox of Japan, with its complex system of two syllabaries, romaji and kanji with several readings still has a high rate of literacy.
* Some disadavantage of literacy, say, loss of oral literature, less memorization, excessive trust in the printed word,...
* Summary of literacy trends (regional, type of country, etc.)
* Discussion of "balanced literacy" (what is that?)
* re: "How is reading taught in languages other than English?  What about Chinese?  Hiragana?"
::Isn't this a pedagogical question?  Is it appropriate for this article?

::Is this based on any atudy or verifiable source?  The claims sound spurious at best.

message: The image of the helicon should have something inserted for scale. This is a general problem found throughout Wikipedia wherein objects are photographed sans any connection to context. Yes, the image should be about the one instrument, but without a scale or some other familiar object placed in the photo, determining the size of the object photographed becomes a problem.

Talk:19th Battalion (Central Ontario), CEF

message: The complete War diaries are available on the Library and Archives Canada database.
* There is no official record of the 19th that I could find. Only the Nicholson book mentions them by name, but that isn't good enough. It is going to take a lot of digging through official records to find out what the official history is.
* I am going to look through them to add any primary source material regarding the battalion. Any battles regarding the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada are not necessarily those of the 19th as a whole, and that is an important distinction. The article is about the CEF battalion, and any actions after its disbanding or perpetuation should be included in a separate article.
* As many of the CEF articles are neglected, I thought that great care should be taken to get everything right the first time. Any things I leave out are merely to only note what I know of now to be fact, and are not intentionally done. Thanks :) Monsieurdl mon talk-mon contribs 16:49, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Looking at the title of the article, I'm wondering if this shouldn't be retitled something like the Inch pipelines. It covers both the Big and Little Inch pipelines, but Big and Little Inche pipelines sounds a bit cumbersome, and a lot of the literature uses the term "Inch pipelines" to refer to the combination of the two. We could then have redirects from the Big and Little Inch names etc. What do people reckon? Hchc2009 (talk) 19:37, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Nemanja Gordić

message: Someone being born in (modern day) Bosnia and has represented that country in the international competition, just like in the case of Gordić, clearly indicates the fact that he has Bosnian nationality/citizenship. And although according to the sources presented:  that his ethnicity is of Serbian (see Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina), that doesn't automatically grant him Serbian citizenship/nationality, unless he wen't through the application for the Serbian citizenship which he didn't (according to the sources). That being said, any removal of phrase that he is a "Bosnian Serb" in lede when there is a source for it (and w/o any explanation), should be treated like a blatant vandalism.--AirWolf talk 06:33, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
