Talk:Infobot

message: Why does Blootbot redirect here? I think it's pretty notable, considering that it's in practically every distro's repository (Debian/ubuntu, Gentoo, SuSE and I believe Arch) and that infobot has been mostly displaced by it. 76.180.120.161 07:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There was previously a distinct Blootbot article, but it was nominated for deletion due to a perceived lack of notability on its own. Thus several editors agreed that a merger of that article into Infobot was the way to go at that time. I think the Infobot article is not overly long and the section Blootbot could be expanded here with more info. However, if there are citations supporting independent notability of Blootbot, I'd certainy support extracting it back out onto its own page. DMacks 15:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service

message: WP:NOTDIR says long lists are not encyclopaedic. If it is to be argued that a long list of fire stations and equipment should be included then that list must be supported by verifiable references (WP:V).
One reference from the service's own page gives the number of staff and a list of appliances. It does not say where those appliances are located. It does not give vehicle makes. It does not give callsigns. 
From the above page there is a link to the list of stations. This states at the highest level the station crewing type and appliances onsite - though no vehicle makes and no callsigns. 
Any attempt to interpret either of those sources, perhaps based on personal knowledge of the service is original research (WP:OR) and is not permitted. Of course you are free to find other references assuming they are reliable sources (WP:RS) --10mmsocket (talk) 16:21, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Pan African School of Theology

message: DrKiernan, I share your concern about protecting the integrity of this encylopedia and I agree that articles which do not make meaningful contributions to the project should be revised or deleted. I desire to contribute an article of encyclopedic quality that can be balanced and refined by community consensus.
Therefore, as the wikicommunity evaluates the significance of PAST, perhaps we should distinguish the idea of "significance" from "notarity." As an institution facilitating academic dialogue, PAST can not yet boast of global notarity, however, that certainly does not mean that it cannot be globally significant. History witnesses that certain events, movements and people which, at one time, were overlooked, later proved highly significant. Obscurity does not equate insignificance.
Institutions (such as PAST) that are based in developing regions of Africa already face a great communication disadvantage because information resources and internet access are often inaccessible or costly. This is all the more reason to protect the PAST article so that people who are looking for information related to what PAST is doing can find it.
I celebrate the advent of Wikipedia and the fact that such an open forum now exists to share and acquire information freely. Thank you. Kindest regards, James RolandJwroland 06:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Fannie May

message: I think it's important to add some less known history about Fannie May. In 2014, Fannie May's warehouse burned down and struggled with orders around Thanksgiving and Christmas. http://www.candyindustry.com/articles/86533-thanksgiving-fire-destroys-fannie-may-warehouse-and-distribution-facility
http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2016/03/fannie_may_and_harry_london_ch.html
I think it's also important to note Fannie May's comeback and partnerships after the fire. I can talk about one of the Fannie May stores downtown that has an alliance with the Chicago Blackhawks. They've claimed the slogan "Fannie May Strong One Team, One Goal". As of recent, Fannie May is the sponsor of the Chicago Cubs. 
http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/ticketing/premier/fanniemaybleachersweet.jsp
Fannie May has gone through many looks over the years, but none of the changes have been this big. One of the five Fannie May's in the loop reopened after a huge remodel. "The Cafe at Fannie May" now has bakery items, a new modern space in and outside, and seating. 
http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-fannie-may-reopening-1123-biz-20161122-story.html
There's a lot more to talk about too. The branding/logo changes, Ferrero buying out Fannie May, and what the new company plans on doing with Fannie may.

Talk:Hyatt Regency Chicago

message: Dear fellow Wiki-ers,
I was wondering if we should add a short section about this being Obama's headquarters, or at least where he was on election day to the article.  I remember seeing footage of not just his motorcade in and around Upper and Lower Wacker.  I even saw footage from I'm not sure where but it was of his motorcade driving down a closed Lake Shore Drive to the rally in Grant Park.  This just seems like an important footnote to add to a very sparse entry.  The Blackstone Hotel is known for it's presidents and the "smoke filed room" so why not the Hyatt for it's history with Obama?

Talk:Riff driven

message: You're right - this is pointless, and not objective at all -- KeithAllen (talk) 01:31, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. But for fun, before looking at the list, I thought of the three songs I would characterize as "riff-driven," and they were all on the list. So, it is a good list. About the only suggestion I would make to those who compiled this list would be to try getting some sources together and maybe adding a section to the Riff article, something like "riff-driven guitar rock."   RomaC (talk) 07:02, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This list resulted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Riff driven. I think a category would be more suitable. Then we could link to the category in the see also section. Zain Ebrahim (talk) 10:27, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think a category should be used either, and I would nominate it for deletion the moment I saw it. Lists and categories are not exempt from WP:V. The big problem with lists, and categories to a marginally lesser extent, is their tendency to lean toward original research. This is the problem that has plagued music genre fights pretty much since Wikia began. The non-sugarcoated truth of the matter is as follows: "Nobody cares about your opinion." You can scour through every song that ever existed and pick out all the ones you think are "riff driven" and they still don't belong on the list or in the category unless you have sourced references that state a rationale for the song being "riff driven." WP:N and WP:V are two of the core Wikipedia policies, not helpful little suggestions for you to follow unless maybe you don't feel like it. Trusilver 23:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Wax on Radio

message: All these anonymous users are posting on here that Wax on Radio are not active anymore. This is the fourth or fifth incident of that. What's worse is that they aren't sourcing it. I believe they are inactive, but I don't know where the anonymous users have received this information. It's getting on my nerves. But still, any information on the supposed break-up of Wax on Radio needs to be sourced! I'm sick of the information being repeatedly put on here without being backed up worth crap. I've searched google on Wax on Radio and have seen no evidence of a break-up. Next time, if someone wants to report Wax on Radio's rumored break-up, they've got to source it. Now I'm going to put on information that is actually sourced, unless if it's already put up on there, about all the band members being either vegetarian or vegan.

replies: text: What normally happens with articles like this one (as much as you can generalise on Wikipedia) is that they are written to cover the general position in as many common law jurisdictions as possible, and then sub-sections develop pointing out the exceptions, e.g. "In Australia is to normal for personal representatives to prove their integrity by shagging the deceased's favourite kangaroo..." or some other such thing.  This article is presumably still just a bit too stubby to have started attracting exceptions. --Legis (talk - contribs) 22:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Perhaps, but it's not as if the painting has a whole lot of other coverage in the media for any other reason. The article could use some sourced analysis and history, etc. but the Notting Hill section is pretty tight and of interest to readers.

message: Donde tus momentos brillan!
Notando que en la ciudad de Villa Maria le otorgan mucha importancia a los eventos relacionados a bodas y quince años, tres mujeres comenzaron a desarrollar la idea de hacer una revista que rindiera homenaje a tan hermosa manifestación cultural, sirviendo de medio para publicar tan memorables momentos.
Su principal objetivo seria ser la aliada número uno de todas esas mujeres que buscan ideas para organizar su fiesta de casamiento y cumpleaños de quince. En adición a esto, ofrecer un canal de comunicación ideal para que los profesionales vinculados a la moda y organización de eventos pudiesen destacar sus trabajos.
Al fusionar ambas ideas, lograron establecer los tres pilares fundamentales El Diseño de la mano de la Lic. En Diseño Grafico Paula Gentile, La Fotografía a cargo de la fotógrafa Profesional Mariana Genta y el Contenido realizado por la Lic. en Comunicación Social Isabel Hernández, encontrándose en el lugar y memento preciso para hacer de este proyecto una realidad,
Claro esta que nada de esto hubiese podido ser posible sin la ayuda de sus esposos y colaboradores tanto locales por extranjeros, quienes tienen una participación activa en el proceso de comercialización y producción de la revista, logrando entre todos llevar a sus manos este producto.
Si describimos las lectoras a quien esta dirigida La Mariée, serian mujeres que les encanta todo lo relacionado a la moda, el estilo y estar al día con las últimas tendencias. Ellas sueñan con casarse con el hombre que aman delante de sus familiares y amigos, bailar el valls con su padre esa noche donde la quinceañera se convierte en mujer. Amabas buscan que ese momento sea diferente por eso tratan de extraer ideas de las revista para aplicarlas a su fiesta. Les apasiona cuidar todos los detalles, desde el vestido hasta la fragancia que usarán. Son mujeres jóvenes independientes que se enorgullecen de su apariencia y aman lo nuevo. Su estilo de vida puede variar pero lo que tienen en común es que su boda y fiesta de quince será el día especial y todo girara en entorno a estas.
¡Todas ellas son la motivación para que HOY exista La Mariée!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.112.167.178 (talk) 13:32, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

**Do they have slitted pupils?

replies: text: **The size comparison to the house cat was actually shuffled out of Physical description into the lead, where you'll find it now. It gives people a mental image off the top. Chronic took care of hybridization and the pupils. I shuffled the Social structure to the top of the behaviour section; arguably, it makes most sense to start with it and it follows from the para on activity times. Physical description sections are often a little choppy because you have to shove a lot of numbers in there. You can suggest a specific rearrangement, if you like.

The advantage is that libata is (supposedly) much better written compared to the old IDE code and has good support for error handling, although that still needs much work for both SATA and PATA. --Imroy 15:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
