Talk:Tom Moncrieff

message: Tom Moncrieff should not be deleted because he was a significant influence for the production of Stevie Nicks, Buckingham Nicks, Walter Egan, and Fleetwood Mac.  He's a behind the scenes guy and is a frequent person who comes up in speculation, as his name appears in many photographs and early demos of Fleetwood Mac and Walter Egan related groups.  The article helps to explains answers to people who wonder who this guy is.  Ajmccarrell 06:20, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tiyanak

message: I don't understand the rationale behind adding the phrase "Commonly in the Philippines" to the lead,  It seems redundant to me. At present, it reads "Commonly in the Philippines, the tiyanak (also tianak or tianac) is creature which, in Philippine mythology, imitates the form of a child."  I'd like to hear from others rather than revert it myself, though, as perhaps I am only missing some nuance in the sentence. Alternativity (talk) 09:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I am an ethnic Malay who grew up in the village but never before had I ever heard of our elders speaking of the Hantu Kutti and Hantu Pelir. Their entries do appear to be the works of a prankster. I'm sure further investigations will show that neither Hantu are recognised by Malay mythology.

message: This page is an embarassment, I admit I LOL at the descriptions (esp Hantu Kutti) but most of the hantu in this page are totally made up jokes.

Template talk:Schools in Derbyshire

message: I'm not sure that the other former schools of Derby were notable - they probably were to the people who went there. I've added them for completeness in the context of post 1944 grammar schools in Derby. Parkfield Cedars gets a reference in the Judith Hann article.OldDerbeian 07:15, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Redlinks in navigation templates seem to serve no useful purpose and also create problems, as sometimes they encourage the creation of articles for schools which aren't notable. I suggest that it would be better to include the blue links only and add new articles for notable schools as they are created, which is the norm in almost all such templates. Does anyone object to that approach? Xn4 03:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One purpose they serve is to show that no article for the school exists, rather than that it simply hasn't been added to the template. I find that useful. Is any British secondary school truly not notable?  They have all had thousands of people pass through them, have newspaper articles written about them (on opening day if no other - you can be sure), appear in directories, on the OFSTED website, etc, etc. YMMV. -Arb. 13:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You asked "Is any British secondary school truly not notable?" See WP:N and Wikipedia:Notability (schools). Xn4 22:51, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It was a rhetorical question (sigh). It was followed by a sentence showing how easily most British schools would meet WP:N. You suggested creating stubs for the red linked schools. That was a grand idea.  If the red bothers you so much why not go ahead and act on it - the basic information you'd need should be available via Google.  Additions to Wikipedia are so much more constructive than deletions. -Arb. (talk) 12:34, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I doubt that most British schools do meet WP:N. And it gets harder with schools for which there are no recent sources, but I've made a start with an article on Bemrose School. Your turn. Xn4 19:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You certainly have made a start, that's a pretty decent article for an evening's editing. Re: "Your turn.", fair enough.

:Yes, this page needs significant editing.

Talk:Kleptothule

message: Just wasted half an hour of my life failing to add the original journal reference. Whatever the "insert template // cite journal" tool in the editor is meant to do, it fails (or requires lifetime devotion to wiki-arcana).

Talk:Mecodema

message: Surely a good image of an actual specimen is far preferable to a drawing? ... ThorpeStephen (talk) 00:05, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily. A good drawing is better than a bad photograph, Helmore's drawings are very good, and most of the Mecodema photos in Commons are not great. I prefer good biological illustration in general to most specimen photographs, which don't illustrate key features especially well. We commonly use paintings over photos in WP bird articles. But whatever, if you have a better generic photo for Mecodema, change it back. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 00:25, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I did say a 'good image'. I agree that a good drawing is better than a bad photograph, but I wasn't suggesting that we use a bad photo. I think we need to consider the purpose of a taxobox photo: is it (1) to give people a good general idea of what the taxon actually looks like; or (2) to show all taxonomically relevant characters? I suggest that the answer is (1), but I'll leave it up to others to make the choice ... ThorpeStephen (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Richarlyson affair

message: I suggest to merge this article with Richarlyson Barbosa Felisbino. This article about a not-so-notable "affair" is actually mainly composed by two short paragraphs and a bunch of quotes which should not be included here (that's why we have Wikiquote in fact). I would rather create a paragraph about this "affair" into the player's article instead. --Angelo 16:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. This seems more like a storm in a glass of water than a real controversy. It doesn't seem to do more than simply illustrate homophobia in Brazil. I had hoped the article might develop a bit more fully, but guess it's not going to happen. Jeffpw 16:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Keltiad

message: To address CorbieVreccan's edit summary:First off, the historic Knights Templar was suppressed over seven centuries ago.  Kennealy is no more a member of that order than my cat is.  There are certainly a number of fly-by-night contemporary outfits that call themselves "Knights Templar," and as such "orders" often do, they levy spurious claims of "lineage" to the historic outfits. Kennealy may indeed be a member of one of them (but see below).  This, of course, would not be the same order to which the novel claims Douglas belonged, and linking Douglas and Kennealy through it is simply inaccurate.Secondly, this is not Kennealy's article, and that kind of biographical trivia isn't pertinent in this article.  Although ...... thirdly, as far as the sourcing for that information (in Kennealy's article) goes, in violation of WP:V and WP:BIO, we seem only to have her word for it.  Were I editing that article, I'd remove it pending a third-party cite, or else change it to a claim rather than a stated fact.  (Hrm.  I think I'll actually go over there and make that edit.)Finally, that no one's contested this before is utterly irrelevant.  Unsourced inaccuracies do not become hallowed over time, and if that edit had been on Wikipedia a dozen years (instead of being added by an anon IP this past March), it'd still be liable for removal.

message: There are two issues here. First, bizarrely, but I think accurately, the pages in cat:tel are appropriate for a metaphysics tag, because they are mostly about teleology or cosmology, and for some batty reason, cosmolgy still generally gets grouped with metaphysics rather than or as well as Hist and phil of science. Secondly, I don't think some of these cosmology articles have anything to do with teleology. Would you mind if I shifted them?

Talk:Kirsti Sparboe

message: The last paragraph of the article states "In the recent years, the song "Ein Student Aus Uppsala" (written originally in German), has become the un-official anthem of students at Uppsala University, in Sweden, giving new popularity to Kirsti Sparboe.". I am from Germany and spend over a year in Uppsala participating in all kind of student events and activities. Most of student culture takes place in student organisations called "Nations" (same for Lund in south Sweden). As a matter of fact the song was never played at any event of the described Nations that I was attending for a whole year. Even though there is a swedish version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvdK4_8jcKs&feature=related) of "Ein Student aus Uppsala", my impression is, that the song is well known (I asked swedish students about it occasionally) but far away from being anything like an "un-official anthem". 130.243.155.171 (talk) 15:42, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
