Talk:Methylamine

message: Formation of methyl amine 2409:4042:2D1F:9726:5DA8:E619:97A:8C7A (talk) 15:08, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chemistry 

message: , I think a discussion should happen on the talk page instead of in the edit summaries. You linked to WP:IPC, which doesn't back up your point. It only says that one should avoid "brief mentions" or "mentions of insignificance" (my words). In this specific case, methylamine is a core plot device in the TV show Breaking Bad. It plays a key role in several parts of the plot not just in the beginning but throughout the series. This is not "a chemical was mentioned in a TV show" as you want to characterize it. Per WP:BRD, I'm going to restore the content and it should remain as it is (was) while discussion is happening, and until consensus is reached. Kimen8 (talk) 21:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: So what if it even is a core plot point (not device)?  The sentence doesn't add anything other than, yes, this is a precursor chemical, which was stated in the very previous section.  No understanding about the chemical is imparted to the reader.  Nothing of significance about the chemical is noted.  We also don't have a section in the article on Soap mentioning its use as a plot point in Fight Club, either, for very good reason.  Wikipedia is not a dumping ground of mentions of things in pop media.  On top of that, the sources are of pretty low quality as well.  Even if you could find some better sources (maybe they're out there), it really belongs on the Breaking Bad article instead of here.   35.139.154.158 (talk) 22:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Maatsuyker Islands

message: Are the Needles really in the south?I am not sure. I just guessed it because in the article http://www.lighthouse.net.au/lights/TAS/Maatsuyker%20Island/Maatsuyker%20Island.htm, the following sentence is written:The Lighthouse is situated on southern tip of island for best visibility and all round view.Because of the picture where the Needles are visible in the background of the picture just below the lighthouse, I concluded that they are further south than the lighthouse itself. This is not sure at all since the direction of view on the Needles could also lead sidewards to the south coast, therefore not necessarily being south. Furthermore, there could be other rocks/islets surrounding Maatsuyker Island lying still further in the south not being mentioned there. -- Citylover 17:40, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes they are further south, just off the coast - see the map I added.  I could not see any other islands nearby to the south.  Though elsewhere there is Mewstone and Pedra Branca. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:47, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Are the Needles really in the south? 

message: A check of the map (I clicked on the coordinates and followed the Multimap link) shows that Pedra Branca is at least 70 Kilometres from Maatsuyker and cannot reasonably be included as part of the Maatsuyker Group.

Talk:Mike Watson, Baron Watson of Invergowrie

message: Please could whoever keeps removing certain dates from this page try to find the correct dates? Or at least repair the sentence you leave behind rather than leaving a gap so it reads "On , he..." or whatever. Perhaps you could explain why you think the date's wrong.
Also I'm not sure the part about gaining £100 000 from public funds really belongs on a Wikipedia page. I've left it for the moment, but at very least there needs to be references to back it up. You might not like the man, but please try to keep the format of the article to that of an encyclopedia article. --JRawle 17:58, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's to be expected as it is a current event. It does also discuss the elections he contested and the Wild Mammals bill, which is more than is on many politicians' pages.

message: I note that Traffic light coalition has been adopted outside Germany but has anyone tried using "Jamaica coalition" for a conservative-liberal-green government elsewhere in the world?

message: The second photo (of the subject drinking a beer and giving a thumbs up) doesn't feel right to me. I referred to the policy on biographies of living persons and feel that [] strongly supports my gut feeling that this photo is out of context, unflattering, and inappropriate for the article.

Wikipedia talk:Divulging personal details

message: /Archive1 (discussion surrounding one case in Nov. 2004)
What about people who have retired from public life and do not wish their former public identity to be associated with their current private identity? I'm thinking of the recent case of the creep who was publishing private information about retired pornographic actresses. Is there any legal obligation to keep a private citizen's life private? Moral obligation? (I believe so.) We have a policy that permits instant banning of anyone who exposes another editor's identity in a potentially harmful way; should we extend this to non-editors? —Charles P. (Mirv) 20:14, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Do celebrities get to decide to be un-celebrities?  I'm not sure it would be appropriate to self-censor for "moral" reasons when the information would be easiliy available elsewhere.  (Which would be a requirement for inclusion anyway - original work to determine a celebrities other name would not qualify for Wikipedia.) - Tεxτurε 20:25, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

text: Here are some examples and issues that I don't have definitive answers for. I know of instances where people use pseudonyms yet also seek publicity, namely ROMATH/alt.romath, Vonbluvens, and Ashida Kim. Two of the articles were nominated for deletion at the request of the subjects, and one was deleted. If they want publicity under a pseudonym are they in a position to demand the privacy of their real name? Can they dictate the content of their articles? In another case, Chuck Munson (he goes by his real name), did not want the name of his blog, year of birth, or city to be included, even though he listed all of this info on his own blog and on forums. Can an individual's information that they intentionally publicize still be considered private? Specific home addresses, phone numbers, identification numbers, etc, are not encyclopedic, even if verifiable, IMO.  But what about date of birth? Wife's name? For prominent individuals these are usually known, but more obscure people may feel that to be private information. Another issue is that these subjects became editors of Wikipedia (if only of their own articles). The use of personal details to harass editors is always a matter of serious concern.  Cheers, Willmcw 08:41, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say that information that the person choose to publish in another forum cannot generelly be considered private -- possibly if the other forum has a very  narrow circualtion (a neighborhood or club newletter or some such, but not a blog) that might not count a publication in this sense. I think that addresses and contact info for a buisness or institution might be encyclopedic, but i can't see how these are at all likely to be for an individual, even when verifiable.

Talk:Goode homolosine projection

message: I've added some basic info about this projection, I'll be adding some more detail in the next couple of days. Such as uses for the projection, technical details (regions and lobes), examples. Also some links to producing these maps with raster and vector data.
Any specific information I should include?
--Ant 19:04, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I will be replacing images on the various map projection pages. Presently many are on a satellite composite image from NASA that, while realistic, poorly demonstrates the projections because of dark color and low contrast. I have created a stylization of the same data with much brighter water areas and a light graticule to contrast. See the thumbnail of the example from another article. Some images on some pages are acceptable but differ stylistically from most articles; I will replace these also.
The images will be high resolution and antialiased, with 15° graticules for world projections, red, translucent equator, red tropics, and blue polar circles.
Please discuss agreement or objections over here (not this page). I intend to start these replacements on 13 August. Thank you.
