Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gilbert and Sullivan/Opera articles

thread_title:  Major revision 

message: The latest edit introduced the term "substantial work." Although "major work" is defined, "substantial work" is not. This could confuse people. Marc Shepherd 16:56, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought just the opposite.  "Major work" is defined as only the 11 operas plus C&B.  The other term is used to mean ALL operas, plays and other substantial works (excluding, for instance, songs), that are to have the structure described here.  We shouldn't use "major" to mean two different things.  I just now tried to clarify more.  Take another look: I think it works now, but if you prefer another solution, go ahead and apply it.  --  Ssilvers 17:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Substantial work/Major work? 

message: The trivia section seems to be implicitly deprecated in the guidelines. IMHO there are almost always interesting trivia surrounding the operas (as in Ian Bond's great The Gilbert and Sullivan Companion, amongst others).
Is this a genuine deprecation? Would anyone be offended if some interesting show trivia were added?--Jmptdc 15:02, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no problem with adding a Trivia section to particular opera articles where there is something "notable" (See WP:IMP) verifiable and to say.  However, our experience was that people were adding mostly NPOV and unreferenced, unverifiable stuff under this heading.  So, in my opinion, feel free to do it where you can find something encyclopedic to add.  Welcome to the Project.  --Ssilvers 19:48, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am inclined to remove the "Trivia" heading. I think that everything worth saying can be incorporated into one of the other section headings. A "trivia" heading is, frankly, an invitation to insert random facts that are either irrelevant, unimportant, or not properly integrated into the article. As Jmptdc noted, one can always find "trivia," but is the article actually being improved by it? Marc Shepherd 12:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

"Only 2 Soviet built minesweepers were still in service, until the arrival of 4 big Patrol Boats Damen Stan Type 4207 from the Netherlands."
I corrected the sentence to make grammatical sense but the sentence now implies that these Dutch patrol boats are being used as minesweepers. I am uncertain as to whether this is true (as it seems somewhat unlikely) or not but this should be cleared up. --Hydraton31 (talk) 06:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi my name is Janet and I see a couple of errors but am uncomfortable changing them. First Keith Scott and Bryan Adams have played in a full band since the beginning (1981) except perhaps for those three years 1998-2002. After leaving Bowser Moon in 1981(along with 2 other members) Keith had a one night stand with his former band at Gator's Night Club on Richmond B.C. the title was Just For You in 82" I have the pictures! Does anyone out there realize that Keith used imitate Gene Simmons tongue flash,yes it's true,and that Mickey Curry used to play with Hall and Oates?

thread_title:  [[D. B. Cooper]] under FA review 

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Talk:Malcolm Rifkind

message: Could someone perhaps find a reference or a quote for the "strong supporter of Israel..." bit. There was one before, albeit a dead link, but this has now been removed completely. There doesn't appear to be anything about it in his official biography on the Conservative website.  I checked the Conservative Friends of Israel website and couldn't find him anywhere on it.
Secondly, I am neither a huge fan of Rifkind, or even the Conservatives, but I also think the sentence is perhaps a little misleading, he is a supporter of Israel, like many other politicians in the House of Commons (many with no family there), but I wouldn't say he is a particularly "strong" one, meaning he doesn't seem emphasise it all the time, I certainly don't think of him as any kind of "apologist" (for want of a better term) for Israel, which I feel this sentence, sort of, implies. So unless there is a quote where he claims himself to be a "strong supporter..." I think the "strong", should perhaps be left out. He certainly takes an interest in the affairs of the Holy Land, through a quick google one could find that as defence minister he made assurances to Israeli leaders that Syria was ready to move forward with peace talks, working closely with Shimon Peres and in the same year, stood side by side with Yasser Arafat. Maybe worth pointing out that his support for Israel has not stopped him criticising actions of Israel that he believes to be wrong, and also emphasise that he is a supporter of Palestinians as much as he is the Israelis, I would direct anyone to his contribution to the House of Commons debate on the Gaza Strip on 18 June 2007 as evidence of this.

message: "Teach yourself linguistics" says that rewrite rules are perfectly explicit and require no knowledge at all of the language in which the phrase/sentence/whatever you're rewriting is in .

This would require quite a lot of knowledge - for example, a monolingual speaker of an unrelated language would have no way of knowing that "tent" is a noun and "went" is the preterite tense form of a verb. --Grammatical error 20:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
