Talk:Strand Historic District

message: *Since this is the Texas collaboration of the month, I thought I'd see what needs doin'.  I think the biggest problem is that the article needs more references.  I'll work on that.  What else can we improve upon? Johntex\talk 06:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I ran the semi-automatic javascript program on this aricle.  Since it is an automatic script, some of the suggestions may not be relevant to this article:
*The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.[?]
*Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
*See if possible if there is a free use image that can go on the top right corner of this article.[?]
*This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as WP:WIAFA critera 1(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.[?]
*Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
**Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant -  “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
*Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

Talk:Scout rocket experiment

message: There is a Gravity Probe A wiki that duplicates this entry. I'm unsure what is the correct title, since Google searches gives mostly pages from WP and its clones.

Talk:Headhunter

message: I removed the link to "decapitation" that was put on the words "take their head" because there is a fine distinction between decapitation and taking someone's head. To decapitate someone is to kill someone by cutting off their head (ex. guillotine). There is no implicit understanding that the head is then to actually be taken. Headhunters, on the other hand, could not be said to have decapitated their victims because death was brought about not through decapitation, but through some other means. After death, the head was then removed and taken.

thread_title:  Names of India in its official languages 

message: The Wiki section says "earliest recorded use of Bhārata-varṣa (lit. 'Bhārata mainland') in a geographical sense is in the Hathigumpha inscription of King Kharavela (first century BCE), where it applies only to a restrained area of northern India, namely the part of the Ganges west of Magadha" and another section mentions that name was used in Rigveda, which were written during pre-historic era. 
Aren't both statements contradicting themselves?  Makks2010 (talk) 16:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: In a geographical sense is the key here. In Vedas, it is used to mention about the community of Bharatas. But only in first century BCE, it was used in a geographical sense, i.e., to refer to a location; in this case, Bharatvarsa, the Bharata mainland. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Talk:List of the longest English words with one syllable/Squirrelled

message: :Part of Talk:List of the longest English words with one syllable:
I don't wish to be willfully perverse in raising this alternative, but to my untrained ear there are clearly 3 separate sounds in squirreled.
Sound one:  scwi
Sound two:  rell
Sound Three: duh
*I don't think a trailing 'd' is usually, if ever, regarded as a syllable.  You wouldn't argue, for example that "wood" has two syllables. --bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)</span> 12:52, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
You're right, Bodnotbod (Gawd bless yer, mite), and our own article on syllable agrees.  A syllable has a vowel or quasi-vowel in the middle, with optional consonants on either side.  However, from a purely phonotactic point of view, this does make it hard to justify calling squirrelled a single syllable, unless you classify the whole of uirrelle as a single quasi-vowel.  Perhaps our "syllable" article needs to say that the definition of a syllable depends on the dialect of the speaker, if this is true. --Heron 13:05, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: That's probably true.  I said above I pronounce it skwih-rawled.  But I think, if I were saying it less consciously the L would go missing, and I also doubt that my Rs are very distinct.  So it would probably be more like  skwiwwed.  Frightening thought, really.  --bodnotbod » .....TALKQuietly)</span> 14:37, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)

message: Carter Beauford sent a message via email mentioning that a very large percentage of what has been written about the Dave Matthews Band is baseless and unfounded. He also asks that the personal section about his marriages and children please be left out of the article. I'm sad about it, but I believe he has a right to his privacy, and to Wikipedians, fans or not, respect the wishes of people in their public and private lives. Thus, I ask for support in removing the "personal" section here. It's not real info on him and does involve minor children. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I have reverted your changes to this article, as I could not find the reason you specified within MOS:FRAC. I therefore invite you to discuss your proposed changes here. It is my understanding that we generally avoid using the ASCII fraction except when otherwise impossible (such as article titles);  is the accepted norm for displaying fractions within an article body. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 02:49, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Incorrect. According to MOS:FRAC, the "½" fraction CAN be used to maintain typographical consistency. Under this discovery, the fraction can stay to maintain this consistency because the name "Ranma ½" is a PROPER NAME/TITLE, while "Ranma " is not a proper name, and adds unnecessary weight to the article. It's like retitling The Price Is Right to "The Price is Correct" because one claims that it is more "professional tone" of an encyclopedia to say "correct" than "right," when this styling violates a proper title.--Loyalmoonie (talk) 03:36, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Prof Bodiford is now cited in several places, but the tense is inconsistent, i.e.'Professot Bodiford writes', 'Ptofessot Bodiford wrote' &c. Also the date in the reflist is different from the date above. As some of these matters may change with time, or have changed from a historical perspective, would it not be useful (to posterity) to add the actual date in the body, at least in the first quote? If the date incomsistency is because of multiple editions I would suggest using the earlier date & giving both in the reflist:  it wouldn't make sense to say 'Prof B wrote in 2006' if he actually wrote it in 1993. --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 17:22, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Freedom of the press

message: If anyone wants to go track down sources, have at it. But it seems a bit too detailed for a general overview:
One of the most notorious cases was of Tiberiu Patru (died in 2017), the editor of Ora. The editor-in-chief of the local newspaper was arrested in the summer of 1999 while finalizing a contract for advertising space. Before his arrest, Patru was about to publish a huge investigation about an entire department from the Attorney General Office, Dolj, who was caught in a striptease club, most of them almost completely naked and harassing the employees. To stop the investigation from being published, the Attorney General Office, Dolj, sent Sorin Sarbu of the Romanian Federation for Democracy to trick Patru. Sarbu had a meeting with Patru, saying he wanted an advertising contract. Before signing the papers, Sarbu insisted that Patru should count the money to see that the entire amount was there. The moment Patru touched the money, the police arrested him. The investigation was published a week after the arrest of Tiberiu Patru, while he was still in jail. The entire team of Ora moved the newsroom in front of The National Theater of Craiova to protest the abusive arrest of the editor-in-chief and called to be arrested too.
