Talk:Thomas Johnson Westropp

message: Please do not delete this page because this man is notable as he was THE leading antiquary on the west coast of Ireland in the late 19th and early 20 th century and much of his work is now housed in the Royal Irish Academy and also in the local studies section of Clare Library, Ireland. I have also pploaded several of his main articles on the history of the western counties of Ireland which can then be linked to other history articles on wikipedia. Thsi article contributes to the history of the counties of Limerick and Clare and should be left up on wikipedia - not least because I put a significnat amount of time and effort in designing the page and uploading these rare articles.
:This article definitely asserts notability, and this speedy is unwarranted.  --Haemo 04:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Univega

message: When this page is expanded, I would suggest placing the Italvega information before the Bertoni section to reflect the right chronology. Italvega was Ben Lawee's first brand, then came Univega, and his Bertoni brand would not debut until about 1980. Regarding Bertoni, it seems to me that the earlier Bertonis - the ones with the "shadow capital B" head decal - are very different from the "second series" Bertonis , which had the "slanted/slotted parallelogram B" decals and lug cut-outs. I've read that the "second series" steel Bertonis were made by either Bianchi, Billato or actually at the Columbus factory, while the "first series" Bertonis look a lot like Italvegas - which were made in Padova at the Torresini factory. The Bertonis probably deserve a page of their own since their provenance is a little complicated and hazy; also the "second series" includes some Vitus aluminum models - not to mention those Columbus steel frames that are the very definition of 'elegant simplicity' (and the thin layer of paint over chrome (cromovelato) in lavender, burgundy or blue are fantastic-looking).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.90.23.90 (talk) 17:53, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Hardcourt Bike Polo

message: I want to suggest that this page gets folded in to the main Bike polo page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_polo
That page could be a lot longer and already features an "urban" photo on the top right.  
"Hardcourt" and "urban" seem to be the main ways of differentiating from the "official" version but both seem to have some implicit posturing in them, and the only time people use the term is on the internet.   "official" is no longer appropriate, as the "urban" version gets more and more standardized.  So i'm proposing that sometime in summer 2008 we fold these pages together.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjmcw (talk • contribs) 19:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree. None of the three websites cited in the text meet WP:MEDRS at all. The journal review, which is not cited directly in the text, would probably be okay under WP:MEDRS. However, it only mentions sexuality once (""), so its use here might still be WP:SYNTH. It would be better to have a source that specifically says medications can cause sexual obsessions... although I don't care much about that, so long as the material from the websites is removed.

Talk:Des Knaben Wunderhorn (Mahler)

message: Doesn't it seem like "(Mahler)" or some variant thereof should be in the title?  The lead-in suggests that this article is about Des Knaben Wunderhorn.  The title suggests that the article is about the familiar singers' standard-rep collection Lieder aus "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" (i.e. the twelve Humoresken--what DrG will hear if he goes to a concert with "Mahler, Songs from 'Des Knaben Wunderhorn'" listed).  And the body is about Mahler's use of use of Des Knaben Wunderhorn throughout much of his life.
In fact, Mahler's interaction with the Arnim and Brentano collection (beyond just the Humoresken) is a fascinating, important, and much written-about subject.  The musicologist Donald Mitchell has written a 500-page book on Mahler's "Wunderhorn years" alone.  (Donald Mitchell, Gustav Mahler: The Wunderhorn Years, Woodbridge: Boydell Press, 2005)
Perhaps this article should be refactored to help DrG and the many others who are naturally and understandably confused by the whole issue. Conkle (talk) 23:04, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't find the article confusing in the least. It proceeds with clarity and concision, and is logically organised. At the start, it tells you what DKW is; then it tells you that people have made settings of its lyrics; then it tells you that the title when encountered usually refers to Mahler's settings; then it tells you about Mahler's settings. The only thing lacking is an amplifying reference to those other composers' settings, and that could easily be addded without changing anything else. Pfistermeister (talk) 15:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  In that case (i.e. that this article is about multiple composers' settings of DKW), suggest merging with Des Knaben Wunderhorn#Des Knaben Wunderhorn in music. Conkle (talk) 04:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Theatre Strike Force is a significant part of the University of Florida and more particularly the School of Theatre and Dance. Established in 1989 by Dr. Judith Williams, Theatre Strike Force has been teaching and practicing improvisation for over 18 years. Theatre Strike Force and its members have also spawned a number of independent troupes across the country including;
Angerstein Street in Chicago,
Madcowford in Jacksonville,
Impromedy in Gainesville
:I agree - "world's largest" is an assertion of notability for groups, and if editors want this article removed they should take it to a regular deletion.  However, I would still note that this article needs some real cleanup, and definitely needs some good sources.  --Haemo 04:27, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Not quit a "B" article: 
* In general, should have at least one citation per paragraph. "Notable alumni should have articles in Wikipedia about them to establish notability.
* Does not meet WP:MoS. Too many small subsections- should be consolidated to form larger sections tied together with prose. Should not have external links within the article.
This article also lacks a good lead which should summarize the entire article. VictorianMutant (talk) 05:58, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Merlon (Mario)

message: Merlon is primarily notable for his role in Super Paper Mario, although he has appeared in other games; a redirect to a list of characters from a different Paper Mario game is grossly inappropriate, especially given the relative quality of the Merlon (Mario) article, and the fact that he isn't mentioned in that article. Also, given his very prominent role in SPM, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in one or more crossover games (ex: Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario Cart Wii, the next Mario Party). Thus, he's notable enough for his own article. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 00:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Notability is asserted by verifiable, real world information backed by reliable sources, not by the amount of games or the popularity in the series. A better redirect target may be in order, but it certainly doesn't require an article. TTN 00:41, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals.

*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

thread_title:  User script to detect unreliable sources 

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
