Portal talk:Bangladesh/Selected picture archive/Nominations

message: How are we going to close the nomination discussion? I have no clue of the procedure. Besides, there are few people actively working on the process. Therefore, I'd like to propose - be bold and skip the nomination process for now. Select them straight. Aditya(talk • contribs) 09:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say we close the nomination discussion at the end of every month (always 2 month ahead), even if there is only one nomination without any support. An active nomination process would allow new comers to propose images / articles which the active members might have overlooked. It also encourages participation. Who knows some new comer may start with nominating a picture and turn into a regular active editor. Furthermore, this would definitely help when we push for Featured Portal status (I'm planning to do so early next month).-Arman Aziz 10:41, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:KSUX

message: Per the WP:Disambig page, "If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary." Since the radio station call letters are the primary identification and the ICAO code reference to an airport is a secondary identification, a hat note is sufficient and requires no more steps than would a disambiguation page for people seeking the airport. - Dravecky (talk) 05:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:As for Me and My House

message: There's a lot of space in this short article devoted to the possibility that the novel is set in some unidentified northern state of the U.S., rather than in Saskatchewan, the author's home province. None of this speculation is supported by references. I don't see where Ross ever lived in the U.S., so why should we assume that he meant someplace south of the border?

I served in the Glamorgan & Mid Glamogan Fire Service (Pontypridd & Aberdare)  from 1971-75 (Fm Skiggs 65780) I transfered in from London (LFB) and eventually back to London (Beautiful people but I couldn't stand the weather) I am trying to get a photograph of the "Diamond T" breakdown vehicle that was stationed at Pontypridd at this time and of an "L4P."

message: There is a precedent under WP:NOTDIR that says Wikipedia is not a place for exhaustive lists of things. It could very easily be argued that a list of every fire station and every single appliance including callsigns is exactly that and I broadly support the idea. It is partly for that reason, but mainly because of the huge amount of unsourced content / original research that I removed the existing list of fire stations and appliances. 
I now see that there is a verifiable reference which lists the stations and their duty systems. There are numbers also which may indicate the station callsign. I would exercise caution though as a) it may be out of date by now and b) it is an orphaned document that doesn't seem to be linked to any more from the service's website. Plus of course there's then the whole WP:NOTDIR thing again. Food for thought though if anyone fancies summarising the stations and duty systems in a way that is both verifiable and encyclopaedic. --10mmsocket (talk) 12:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:North Wales Fire and Rescue Service

message: A reader :ticket:2018101210004546  contacted Wikimedia, noting that they are a retired (and bedridden) firefighter, and enjoy reading some of the articles about fire stations. However, they noted that some articles include some jargon. I do see that this article has a fire appliance glossary explaining some of the jargon but some terms such as "xcrv" are not explained.
Could someone expand the glossary to include all of the terms?
(The reader didn't specify exactly which article they were looking at so I stumbled upon this one. If this type of glossary is common in other fire station articles, I hope it can be improved everywhere. If it is quite common, it could be created as a template.)--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:56, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

message: I get the impression the "briefly known as" thing is supposed to be a humourous reference to "the artist formerly known as Prince", but unfortunately "briefly" can mean either "for a short time" or "in short", so use of "briefly" is ambiguous and not appropriate for the introductory paragraph.

thread_title:  UTF-12 

message: I don't think the alleged problem with UTF-9 exists, or else I don't understand the problem.  Since one would never search for partial characters (a nonet sequence starting with the second or third nonet of the first character of the search string, or ending before the final nonet of the last character of the search string), an exact, unambiguous match does not require looking at any nonets prior to the first nonet of the match candidate.
If there isn't a clarification and or an example illustrating this alleged problem, it should be removed from the article.

text: Everything in the article, including the unnecessarily removed Problem section (which I restored to improve it and add an example of the UTF-9 encoding flaw), is verifiable by reading the very RFC this article is based on.

Talk:Lev Razgon

message: In its previous form this entry offered no explanation to readers as to why a critical observer like Anne Applebaum should quote so frequently from Lev Razgon's memoirs.
His ambivalent position through much of his life, at least until he left the Communist Party in 1988 is evident, but forms one reason why in the camps who was able both to survive and to observe the major actors, up to and including the camp bosses themselves.
The antagonistic 2005 commentary of Antonov-Ovseyenko is worth quoting, though his constant hostility to Memorial and its various activities should not be overlooked.
The 2011 piece by Varlamov well expresses the irritation that many feel at Razgon's desire for publicity, but the story of Andrei Platonov's son is the main theme of that article and has not been described here.
