Talk:Pellissier Building and Wiltern Theatre

message: This article is mentioned at Wikipedia:WikiProject Southern California/Requested photos. BlankVerse 07:25, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Photo(s) requested

message: I've removed the following line from the first paragraph: In addition to the building's architectural significance, the construction of the Wiltern marked the beginning of the change in Wilshire Boulevard from a sleepy residential street to a busy commercial one and of Los Angeles from a city with a central core to one of many "centers." As demonstration of the error of the statement, see this pre-Wiltern picture of the area from the L.A. Public Library's on-line photo collection: Wilshire and Western in 1929 The future site of the Wiltern is on the right, across Western Avenue. In fact, by the beginning of the 1930's, Wilshire and Western was already the busiest intersection in the city, and Wilshire Boulevard already the site of many large commercial buildings. See this PDF file: L.A. Transportation c1930s The Los Angeles area already had many dense commercial areas outside downtown by that time, too, though downtown was still the largest such center.

message: Since the Wiltern Theatre is an active and busy music venue, the list of acts it has hosted is constantly growing and has really gotten out of hand without adding anything to the article — in short, it looks like fancruft.

message: In the paragraph about Moggill Road it states ferry traffic contributes to traffic congestion on Moggill road during peak hour. Simple maths says 15 cars per trip- my guess, 6 trips per hour is 90 cars spread out over an hour. Another guess 20 cars per minute from Pinjarra Hills inwards that means the ferry is contributing 1.5 cars per minute or 7% of traffic flow.

Talk:Kwomtari–Fas languages

message: Regarding the early 'copy error' which it is said has led to the incorrect classification of these languges: has this been published anywhere? If not then it counts as original research and does not belong here. The other statements re Timothy Usher's analysis also appear to be original research. Dougg 08:06, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While quite accurate, and easy to verify, it is indeed original research.  The published error, and the error of all who've cited it, must be allowed to stand unchallenged, as far as WP is concerned.  In a field where "consensus" means that there is often only one (in some cases now two) published ill-considered opinion to which people pay attention, and one to which people do not, there is no way to get a good coverage of New Guinean language issues without running afoul of WP:NOR and WP:V.Timothy Usher 08:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Copy error

message: The name was changed from "Kwomtari-Baibai languages" to "Kwomtari languages", since this is the term in general use.  Ethnologue currently refers to this group of languages as "Kwomtari-Baibai".  However, most published research on the languages simply uses the name "Kwomtari" (e.g. Loving and Bass 1964; Laycock 1973, 1975; Baron 1979; Wurm 1983; Ross 2005). The Baibai language also has the fewest speakers of any Kwomtari family language, apart from Pyu.  It therefore does not deserve to be listed as a major component of the family in preference to its close relative Fas, which has the most speakers among the Kwomtari languages. MarcusCole12 12:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted to "Kwomtari-Baibai", since "Kwomtari" is an established language family. kwami (talk) 19:47, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, since "Kwomtari-Baibai" as generally conceived is spurious, probly best to go with "Kwomtari-Fas", which explicitly corrects this. kwami (talk) 20:49, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for doing that. I never liked the term "Kwomtari-Baibai", which reflects Laycock's rearrangement, but it wasn't worth making a fuss over.  MarcusCole12 (talk) 10:07, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I have a theory that the only true contributors on this site are the IPs. Anyone who sets up an account is just playing the wiki game of advancement. This protected article is just another fine example of that trend. Issues of this article are:
# it reads like a list of unrelated facts
# there is no explanation to the facts given - they are just presented and the reader is left to go figure
# the reason the Golden Gate is called the Golden Gate is buried within the history section
# there is no narrative structure with some just going off-topic
# because this article is written by American-education-system educated Americans, the English grammar is substandard

thread_title: Untitled

message: I added  and  because the only source mentioned in the page is a link to the article subject's website and the actual article currently does not say clearly why this man is notable. The first five results in a Google search for B. S. Christiansen shows one link to this article, a link to the Danish Wikipedia article, a link to his website, another link to his website and a link to a Danish Facebook page. Per WP:GNG, articles must have significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, alright there are some mentions of the man on Danish websites, but - with some help from Google translate - these appear to be more TV interviews or gossip magazines which may not meet the reliable source part of WP:GNG and they almost definitely don't meet the significant coverage part and the single link to the man's website currently in the page definitely doesn't meet the independent of the subject part. The page also claims he is a celebrity in his home country [Denmark], this is a large claim not backed up by sources or web searches (a "celebrity" would have many more Google search results than what he has currently - by my understanding of the word anyway). I also believe that Mr Christiansen does not meet WP:BASIC. I'm looking for someone else's opinion here, get a bit of a discussion going. Thanks.  Seagull123  Φ  02:24, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I'm not saying he isnt notable (per WP:N, WP:BIO or WP:GNG), it's just that if someone believes he is notable - prove it. I'm not having much luck proving his notability anyway.  Seagull123  Φ  02:28, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a few sources I believe lend credibility to his notability. (One of which is profile about him from Berlingske, one of the large Danish newspapers.) I've also added a IMDb reference. As a Danish person, I can agree to the claim that he is quite well-known in Denmark, and has had a number of TV-shows, usually focusing on his military training. E.g. one where he takes Danish TV-show/children's show host "Bubber" into the wilderness and the likes. The article could definitely do with some expansion, but I believe the content to be sound, and for him to be notable. ∫eb²+1(talk) 16:51, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Swanland

message: * The phrase about the pond: 'on which swans have traditionally been kept' is somewhat misleading.  Swans have only been kept on the pond for short periods recently.    It gives the impression that the swans led to the the name of Swanland.  There are two theories about where the village name came from, one is from the invading Danish King Swein and the other is from swans being kept locally on meres. 19:41, 24 May 2006 User:Chillly
* Fair point. I wrote the original phrase but didn't feel knowledgeable enough to start on the whole "Was the village named after the swans or not" debate so I was trying to skirt this issue. Although I assume swans have been on the pond for quite a while. Feel free to change it or add more info {this is Wikipedia after all :-) }.

message: There's an uncited reference to Fantasia as being the first to use a click track. Maybe it's meant that it was the first to use in combination with other recording techniques. But would a click track be used when the music was recorded prior to the creation of the animation as it was here? I'm not knowledgable enough to know for sure. Maybe it aided the animators and editors when assembling the film?

thread_title: WCBI vs. WTVA

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced or improperly referenced names as entries to the list of former employees in the article. Not including this type of material in articles abides by current consensus and is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
#WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.  
#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). thanks Deconstructhis (talk) 06:12, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
