Talk:Viper (TV series)

message: According to IMDB, there were two Viper TV series - a one-season series in 1994, and then a 1996-1999 series.  Is this correct?

thread_title: KITT bashing?

message: This Wiki page has a bunch of incorrect info, and numerous typos.  When I tried to edit the page with the correct info, the Wiki Bot sent me a message saying it had undone all my changes and reverted the page back.  What's up with that?  One such inaccurate piece of info is about Steve Fererrio and him designing the exterior of the show's "star car."  Steve did NOT design the Defender, as he likes to claim, and was sent many cease and desist letters and has been taken to court many times for false advertisement.  I can go on about all the inaccurate information in this article regarding the show, but I'd rather just correct them.  Hopefully when I try it again the Bot will let me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.36.109.36 (talk) 07:37, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: First, I would suggest signing up for an account, as it makes communication easier.  I notice the last bot reversal, included a YouTube link to a site, with a description saying it has "Viper Episodes".  Any unauthorized site containing episodes of the show would be illegal, and not allowed.  And, as said above, please source your claims.   It is completely pointless to complain about something, without giving any support to your claims.  Without an account, it's hard to figure out which edits your referring to.  Finally, if you have any personal connection to anybody/thing associated with this article, please be cautious about introducing original research which is not allowed.  --Rob (talk) 19:44, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

message: In the second paragraph, the author uses the word "compose" and its derivatives five times in a single, run on sentence. He also misuses capital letters and doesn't bother with punctuation.

Community Protest Against New IR Laws Bigger Than Expected Estimating crowd sizes in the tens of thousands is mostly guess work, so attribution is useful to determine who's estimate you are reading.

Talk:Minnesota Transportation Museum

message: This page reads like a marketing piece for the museum, with uncited references to “four star” service on the dinner train and quotes from unnamed patrons about the wonders of the repair facility at the roundhouse. While I’m a supporter of the museum, those and other items don’t seem to be in keeping with Wikipedia standards.

Talk:Depend (undergarment)

message: This reads almost like a sales pamphlet that I had to google a line from it just to make sure it wasn't copied from somewhere. (The only hit that turned up was clearly taken from this article, so it seems it's not a copyvio at least.) It is informative, I just think the tone of the article needs a little work. - furrykef (Talk at me) 03:01, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I cleaned it up just a little by removing sentence fragments, for example, "Ideal for X" becomes "They are ideal for X". However, the text gets repetitive this way ("They are this, they are that..."), so it needs to be rewritten further. Also, the article needs to be consistent about "it" versus "they" when referring to a particular item ("It does have perforated sides" versus "They do have perforated sides"). - furrykef (Talk at me) 03:09, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I've removed the excessive descriptions unnecessary for an encyclopedic article. A basic run-down of the available products, with a brief outline of the design and intended usage is sufficient. This is NOT the place to go into details of leakguards and comparisons to other products, for eg. Before there's a slew of complaints that removing such info is discriminatory against the afflicted, balence the common sense. It is absurd to pretend that fetishism does not influence otherwise straightforward entries: basic information starts to morphs into lavish copy and user guides, and this article had been duly done. There are plenty of sites and links to provide the rest of it. PS. So why am I here? I'm a RN :)  Plutonium27 (talk) 19:13, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I changed the spelling to "cazique" for this entry to match that at . I removed a second entry refering to colonial usage in South Carolina that used the spelling "cassique". If that was a unique uasge separate from "cazique" on the "Fundamental Constitutions", it needs to be documented. -- Dalbury(Talk) 18:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina

message: I removed this section:
::Some historians, such as Charles C. Mann in his book 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus (2005), have objected to the use of the term instead of "king" to refer to the Native American monarchs, even if it is widely employed for the leaders of the so-called Barbarians in European history – such as king of the Huns, the Franks, the Goths, and so on. They have also been referred to as chieftans in English.
This sentence probably contains a few too many negations. It's certainly nonsense as it stands; the king of the Huns has never (as far as I know) been referred to as a cazique. Maybe Mann really preferred the use of the term "cazique" instead of "king" — but in that case, what do the Huns have to do with it? Anyway, this needs a reference (page number, bibliographic info) even if it's worth mentioning in the first place. --Quuxplusone (talk) 02:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have the book open in front of me. On p.391 Mann objects to the usage of "chiefdoms" or "tribes" instead of "kingdoms" when referring to societies of the Americas, in contrast to historical European societies which are routinely given the privilege of that title. He uses it as an example of the way historians minimise the importance or legitimacy of Native American societies by ignoring the ways in which they were similar to Old World societies. He goes on to compare it with the way that discourse on Greco-Roman civilization uses terms like "barbarian chiefs" and "Germanic tribes", these being more like disparaging value judgements than accurate explanations of societal structures. However the page has no mention of this specific title "cacique" that I can see. It is possible he mentions it elsewhere in the book. --81.158.148.32 (talk) 17:33, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Jimmy Kinnon

message: this is cool thank-you
sober98@msn.com (Lynn)
I owe my life to this man,Thanks N.A  2 years clean :o) Thomas
Alexander King mentioned going to the first NA meetings in New York City in the late 1940s in his 1960 book Mine Enemy Grows Older. This suggests there were groups on both the east and west coast that were operating independently, and that Kinnon did not found N.A.
Hello 71.160.148.27, your observation refers to a rather well-known phenomenon around a certain Daniel Carlsen (just google him) who started a social agency in NYC helping addicts. Carlsen's agency coincidentally had the same name; however, it had very little to do with what is commonly referred to today as Narcotics Anonymous. Whether Carlsen and Kinnon ever met is not clearly documented and therefore disputed. Hope this helps. Tribute2jimmyk 21:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Asculum (209 BC)

message: According to Livy and Plutarch in 209 BC there was a battle between Hannibal and Marcellus near Canusium, not at Asculum. Dobrin 15:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The name should be changed 

message: I redirected this page to the page battle of Canusium. Hope that will not disturb anyone, for "battle of Asculum (209 BC)" was just a stub. Before that I sought advice from five users, listed as participants in the Classical warfare task force, but nobody paid attention, so I presumed there would be no objections to the redirection.
My reasons for redirecting this page: The primary sources (Plutarch, Livy) name Canusium, not Asculum, as the location of the battle between Hannibal and Marcellus. So do modern historians such as Brian Caven and Pedro Barceló. That's why I wrote an article, named "battle of Canusium". Dobrin 07:06, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Cibalae

message: , the year 314 is not accepted anymore. The best reference on this is Tim Barnes's 'Lactantius and Constantine', which was published (1973) two years after McMullen's Constantine (1971). McMullen is one of the authorities whom Barnes cites as being uninformed of the re-dating of the battle. The date 8 October 314 comes solely from the unreliable fasti of Hydatius, whereas 316 is supported by the remaining literary and numismatic evidence. Avis11 (talk) 16:53, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree with merger. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:44, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

text: Agree with merger, at a minimum. In this case, though, the so-called "merger" would consist of making this page a simple, but otherwise unnecessary, redirect to Golden ratio without incorporating any content from this article in Golden ratio. In the unlikely event that anyone is looking for golden ratio under Phi, the article Phi (letter) already disambiguates this and other uses of Phi. Therefore, without meaning to offend the author, who was probably well intentioned, the better solution is deletion of this article, in my opinion. Finell  (Talk) 02:23, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
