Talk:Mississauga Library System

message: I feel this article is complementing the Mississauga Library System a little bit too much, especially where it says:
The Library offers many services and programs such as story times, March Break activities and more for children and families. Resources range from advice to parents on choosing books to web sites for kids - both for fun and for school projects.
Children's Dial-A-Story: listen to a new preschool story each week in the comfort of your own home. Call as often as you want, any time of the day. To listen to a story call 905-615-3500 and choose option #4.
It would be helpful if sources other than the official website (which is obviously biased on its favour) were used. Perhaps the mentioning of criticism from a third-part and the avoiding of ambiguos or weasel words such as fun and comfort would be helpful as well. Also, is it relevant for wikipedians worldwide to know the telephone number and option menu from their Dial-A-Story feature?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bernalj90 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 6 August 2006 .

message: I propose merging the content from Courtneypark Library, as the branches section of this article is currently just a list, and the source article is rather short and not likely notable on its own. Mindmatrix 15:54, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi - thanks for your comment. I do believe this article is sufficiently neutral and cited by many sources such as Region of Peel, BILD, and other secondary sources. I would suggest leaving it as it is. It is a library after all, it's not really offending anyone. Despite its stub status, I don't think it's lacking in any way. As time permits, I also intend to expand more on Canadian libraries articles, especially in Peel region. Once again, appreciate your suggestion. Kazuha1029 (talk) 16:15, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Gillian Rose

message: "She graduated with upper second-class honours." As das as I am aware second class in finals was not divided at Oxford until the 1980s, so it would not have been possible for Rose to graduate "with upper second-class honours". If that is what is claimed in the ODNB, with further proof, one must assume it is a mistake. Rose might well have been said, by her tutor, or on the basis of the grades in her finals paper to have got a "good" second, but that's not technically the same thing, unless she went back and got the examiners to award her an upper second formally on the basis of her finals marks. I doubt she would have bothered or even that such a thing is possible (especially if he had proceeded to her MA), but then people, especially academics, do do all sorts of strange things. pmcray (talk) 17:03, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:100 nanometres

message: This page says, "625-740 nm — wavelength of red light".  However, if you follow the link from "red" that other page says, "Red light has a wavelength range of roughly 630-760 nm."  So, which is the more accurate wavelength range for the color red, "630-760 nm" or "625-740 nm"?  -- 70.20.235.230 23:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Red Wavelength? 

message: I would like to point out a disparity between articles, similar to that stated above about the red wavelength.
However, I believe my concern over indigo is more justified than that of the concern about red.
My concern is that I don't believe that indigo is as important or as large a colour range as red or blue, I doubt it should be stated here. Additionally it is not stated in the table here and yet it is on this page. Obviously, if this is simply a matter of difference of opinion, that should be stated. Thankyou, Glooper 10:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks. I was wondering who sets the standards for these things, because the colour blue (for example) is a pretty vague thing.

message: Everything that is said in this article is true (except factual errors such as "Scenes From an Execution was written in 1986"), but the tone doesn't match the Wikipedia standard, which is probably why somebody tagged every sentence with "Citation Needed" - the ambiguity generated very well could cause confusion.

message: Yea sorry.  I just hammered this article with tags.  I figured I would give an explanation for it.
I personally don't think this page should be removed, but it definitely could use some improvements.  The article is written in a way that summarizes the book.  That is ok, but it doesn't state why the book is notable, or how it relates to the outside world.  Is it a NY times bestseller? Is the author a world renowned scientist?  How has the book affected outside culture.  What do critics think about the book? Thanks again for your hardwork. Oldag07 (talk) 22:30, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Gilbert, Minnesota

message: I fact-tagged 
: The town of Gilbert was actually moved for the pit.
But maybe i should have done  instead or as well:
# Were the town's legal boundaries changed?
# Were all, or most of the residents relocated?
# Were the homes of those relocated transported to new sites?
# If not, were demolitions of buildings compensated with unencumbered cash, with new houses built by the mine owners, or with money that could only be spent on new homes?
One would hope that the ref would make this clear, and if not, the ambiguity must be made explicit and explained. --Jerzy•t 19:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I've noted the uncertainty.  Eagle and LeBlanc, Blues:A Regional Experience, which many would regard as the most definitive research on blues performers' dates, say that the 1900 census indicates her as aged 12, suggesting an 1888 birth; and that her Social Security application indicated 1894 birth.  Anyway, I've mentioned the uncertainty in the text, while noting that many sources - perhaps wrongly - do indeed give 1896.   Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:41, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: One of my CDs says 1889, the other says, "There is some doubt as to her exact age (and I, for one, did not consider even the gathering of biographical data sufficient excuse for asking "Miss Ida" a direct question on the subject) but even the 1889 birthdate given by some printed sources may be stretching things a bit . . ." - from the liner notes of her 1961 record with the Coleman Hawkins Quintet.

--Wayfarer (talk) 01:02, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  "The fascists of the future" quote 

message: Christopher Hitchens wrote in The Nation, 5 October 2000: "Debating with Alexander Cockburn on the collusion of Ignazio Silone with Mussolini’s secret police ("Minority Report," June 12), I made the assumption, for the sake of argument, that the published reports of Silone’s collaboration were true. They just didn’t bear the construction that Cockburn put upon them. It now appears that we may both have been party, with differing degrees of relish and reluctance, to a widely and prematurely disseminated falsehood. The original book by Dario Biocca and Mauro Canali, L’Informatore: Silone, I Comunisti e la Polizia, has been witheringly attacked by the historian Mimmo Franzinelli, who is considered an expert on OVRA, the Fascist police. He accuses Biocca and Canali of misunderstanding the documentation, of simplifying and even mistranscribing the evidence, and of wrongly excluding the possibility that Silone did whatever he did under Communist Party instructions. Subsequent articles and essays in La Stampa and in Corriere della Sera, and interviews with Norberto Bobbio, among others, have begun to make a strong case that the whole charge against Silone is founded either on bad faith or on good faith mixed with mediocre scholarship.
"I cannot myself be confident, and I lack the necessary linguistic and historical expertise, but I now feel fairly sure that the first draft in this argument was allowed too much authority. In the circumstances, I feel that I should alert Nation readers to a possibly grave injustice and direct those who are literate in Italian to the June 2000 issue of L’Indice dei Libri del Mese, in which Franzinelli’s rebuttal appears."

Why on earth is it a relevant fact about William Fichtner, that Christian Bale starred in these movies?
Why is Christian Bale specifically mentioned here, but not any other actor that starred in any of the movies mentioned in the article?
If there's a reason why Christian Bale's appearance in these movies is relevant, it should be mentioned in the article.
