message: If you do this, then I think that, if a date appears within parentheses, it should automatically be replaced with "(see XXXX in music)" (or "video gaming" or whatever). SharkD (talk) 03:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That would in way, way too many cases auto-violate the the principle that such "YEAR in TOPIC" links should only be made when the linked-from item is genuinely significant within the context of that year.  For example: SOME_RANDOM_FILM_NAME (1993), on one hand, versus SOME_VERY_SIGNIFICANT_FILM_NAME took the 1993 "Best Picture" Oscar on the other.  And that probably isn't even a good example, really.  It is hard to come up with a generalized case for when one should make such links; it is much easier to say that most of them should simply be deleted, as blue-link "noise". — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont]  ‹(-¿-)› 23:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Parentheses

message: Just for the record I want to call for any last discussion/debate that anyone feels is needed.  The #Re-proposal above seems to not be truly objectionable to anyone, even if it not a bright line in the sand, if I may mix a few metaphors.  A possible exception is SharkD, but I think the concerns raised by that editor are addressed (and I speak only for myself on that observation). I think that the re-proposal (as re-re-proposed; follow the boldface) does represent actual consensus on the usage, and also feel that consensus may change on the matter to make the line brighter, one way or another, some time in the future.  It is better to have some advice on the issue than either no advice, or, worse yet, advice so obsolete that everyone ignores it (since the latter case simply weakens MoS as a whole - the more it is treated as optional or theoretical, the more wildly inconsistent WP articles will become). — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont]  ‹(-¿-)› 00:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Lloyd Racing

message: I can't shake off a vague recollection that it was RLR that ran the Audi coupé at Le Mans a few years back (i.e. the backup to the works Audi open top R8s). That sort of fits with RLR's history, but not with the fact that the team shut down. This sort of backs up my point. Does this make any sense? 4u1e (talk) 13:14, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Same founder, different team.  Richard Lloyd founded Audi Sport UK to run in the BTCC several years after he had been running solo in Porsche cups after RLR closed down.  The team is now Apex Motorsport, and their website lists the team history as only going back to 1995.  I'd treat them as seperate entities since, besides Richard Lloyd as founder, they seem to have different personnel and are in different locations (RLR in Silverstone, Apex a bit away in Buckingham).

It's on par with small high schools.
I'm not counting news articles about individual students who are in the news for non-school-related events, alumni, or staff.  Some of them have been in the news also but those don't automatically make the school notable.

But don't know exactly how it should be changed.  According to that definition, Moby Dick is a "chapter book."  Les Miserables is a "chapter book."  I think "chapter book" is term used in discussions of children's literature, something about the level it represents - the same as, or very close to, a "grown up book" or something like that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.14.237 (talk) 15:48, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

message: "To 'increase output' and 'minimize production time' are concepts that cannot be applied to something like a hospital or a police department."
The word "hospital" should be REMOVED from this sentence. Most Libertarians, and almost all Austrian school economists believes that there is a perfectly fine profit motive for healthcare. I have actually just finished reading this book which has led me to this page. Mises only advocates bureaucracy for police department/security. The word "Hospital" should most definitely be removed from this phrase.
I'm not a Wikipedia expert, I don't know if this is how you properly start a discussion, but someone who is familiar with Wikipedia procedure, look into this for me, and for Mises' sake please!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.123.196 (talk) 17:40, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The claim that the town of Voi existed prior to the arrival of Europeans is not true. The town of Voi is however, likely named after Kivoi; a Kamba chief and trader (yes, including slaves) who acted as a guide to Dr. Ludwig Krapf through whose writings he is known to History. Chief Kivoi is said to have established a trading post in proximity to Voi, somewhere on Voi River (not Voi Town, which originates as a Protectorate-era construct that grew up around the railway station). In 1914 Voi consisted of the railway station and about a half a dozen buildings most of which were ancillary to it. Voi  was especially important during World War 1 as a prime strategic point (logistics) for Allied Forces combating German East African Forces.2001:8003:70F5:2400:58BB:A22B:D749:67B4 (talk) 01:37, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
