Just give me a sentence, a phrase, a few words... anything. Try as I might, I can't understand why you think the article in its current state reads as an advertisement, and you haven't given me any clues to go by. 24.148.0.83 (talk) 01:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

text: I think most of it comes from the Dragon magazine article, but I could go back and check - maybe more citations would help?  I also agree that it could use more than one source, to help strengthen its WP:V and WP:N, so hopefully someone at some point will come up with the goods. ;) 24.148.0.83 (talk) 04:09, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Advertisement Tag

message: Hi, I found this on WP:3O.  I don't see anything that's immediately wrong with this article.  It seems like a fairly well-written biography and doesn't scream WP:ADVERT to me.  The only possible problem I see is the article is mostly WP:OR and lacking in sources.  User:Diego Grez, could you provide some specific reasons for why you think the article sounds like an ad?

message: I think we should either remove the infobox on the missing mileposts because it is literally missing 1 milepost - at mile point 367/ kilometer point 591 with the Westbound exit I-470/Kansas Turnpike to I-335 stating that is Westbound KTA Exit 183. That could have been avoided. If there is agreement, I will make the change and then remove the info box.

Talk:Michael J. Gelb

message: I've taken the excellent work at AfD and put it very simply as lists of embedded external links. Yes, I know. 
1. Convert all ext links into inline citations - obv. this means writing at least a short bit of text to add the citation on to. 
2. Read each cited article, summarize and quote. 
3. Write an overview of the reception of each book. 
4. Write an overview in the bio section of the impact of the books and other work. 
5. The Bibliography needs, er, bibliographic details, like, um, publisher and date... and authors' names wouldn't hurt, either. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:44, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Michael Kandel

message: The fact is that Kandel is an excellent translator, and the bit stating just that should certainly stay, but the next bit "his skill is especially notable..." is awkward and kind of undermines the praise he so richly deserves. Translators always deliver excellent work as a matter of professional pride, just as pilots deliver soft landings and surgeons deliver patients who wake up again. To make a point of his skill in special cases is to negate the notion of a standard of excellency.137.205.100.185 (talk) 12:12, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Sabiha Sumar

message: The information under the subheading "early life" states that Sumar's mother "wore the veil in Bombay but not in Karachi" seems somewhat unnecessary in that section of the article, it is not described what relevance this has on Sumar's personal or working life. In the first paragraph under career's there seems to be a lack of citations to defend the points made. However, the sources that are used are very reliable and all recent information (from the 2000s). The career's section of this article is very strong and discusses a lot about Sumar's history with independent films as well as demonstrates the social and political influence that she had throughout her career.

thread_title:  Selby-McGill 8:12 (25) 

message: Can anybody track origins of the phrase? I feel it would be an interesting addition to the article, but it seems to be lost in the mists of time. At a certain point, probably in 1990s, someone must have spotted the pattern and invented the "curse", but it's hard to track who. Does anyone have access to archives of the British press of the 1990s? No such user (talk) 21:05, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting question. International Newsstand archives have a cluster of appearances in 1998 but nothing earlier. To me, that seems quite late. I shall see what else I can turn up. --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 14:49, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Also checked Newsbank and Times Digital Archive. Again, nothing before 1998, when it's mentioned in pieces about the task facing Ken Doherty. Tellingly, the phrase is completely absent from reports on John Parrott's 1993 attempted defence of the title. So it's looking very much like 1998. It may have been coined by the Daily Telegraph's snooker correspondent John Dee. --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 15:08, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you very much, Walnuts go kapow. However, I'm concerned that adding this information to the article would be a borderline original research. Or, if we could approach John Dee or someone and inspire them to write a bit about the phrase itself (see https://xkcd.com/978/) :). No such user (talk) 09:42, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

text: I think we're stuck again. Oxford Dictionaries used to have a service (OWLS - Oxford Word and Language Service) where you could make enquiries like this, but it looks like they quietly discontinued it some years ago. --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 11:19, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
