Category talk:Members of the Texas House of Representatives

message: The amount of maintenance and cross reference on the US Congress, State Houses, Judges, Counties, and Cities Councils warrants a more sophisticated algorithm for maintaining election primaries, run-offs, campaigns and office turnover.  
It could be used for elections at unions, PTAs, and other organizations as well.  
I would like to contribute and coordinate with the PHP/SQL coding in this effort.

Talk:Steam dummy

message: The intro text says: "Steam dummies had some popularity in the first decades of railroading in the U.S., from the 1830s but passed from favor after the Civil War."  In looking through the Baldwin and Porter catalogs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it is clear that Porter was pushing steam dummies in competition with early electric trams for street railways, and it is clear that they continued to be sold into the 20th century.  The impression I get is that it was the advent of internal combustion power the ended the use of dummies on urban lines that did not sustain enough traffic to electrify. Douglas W.

Talk:Kim Raver

message: This is regarding the "nosejob" comment User:Duke of Kent has added twice to the article, and which I have removed twice. I removed it the first time because it was unsourced.  Duke of Kent apparently believes it to be so obvious that it doesn't need a source.  I'm not in a position to judge whether it's obvious or not, but I have the following additional objections:
#It's too informal for an encyclopedia entry.  First, it should be rhinoplasty, not nosejob.  Second, without any context to it, it reads as a slur rather than as useful information.
#It's in the wrong place in the article.  DoK claims the procedure occurred during the later seasons of Third Watch.  If that's so, why does DoK place the comment in a paragraph about her pre-adult career and education?
#Unless she issued a press release announcing the procedure, I believe the accusation should be treated as speculative and sourced accordingly -- no matter how obvious some people think it is.

Talk:Émile Durkheim

message: I plan, one of these days, to go a bit more in depth with this entry... in my judgment, it's rather superficial and doesn't mention several of his important claims, such as the claim that society acts as a type of God for all involved.
This isn't to say that it's been terrible thus far... rather that it needs to be more in-depth.

I agree, there is a lot of information regarding his important claims that are missing.

thread_title:  Overhaul planned 

message: The lede states: "with W. E. B. Du Bois, Karl Marx and Max Weber—is commonly cited as the principal architect of modern social science".  Perhaps instead "one of the principal architects".  But in any case the statement is thinly referenced.  As to the pantheon, discussions in Archive 1 were inconclusive.  The problem seems to be the criterion or criteria. Do we want to mean pioneers or lasting inspirations, or both?  If both, the inclusion of Durkheim, Marx and Weber doesn't seem contentious.  If only pioneers, Comte and Spencer should be added, but otherwise not.  If only lasting inspirations, maybe add Parsons and more.  Then there is a question of generality:  du Bois has been a neglected pioneer, but what influence has he had outside the USA?  I'm not holding any candles or hammers here, but I think these questions need to be addressed in making the selection. And whatever selection is made needs to be better supported with references.

message: I converted two  to  and two publ date from yyyy-mm-dd to mdy format. One of the latter conversions was 2004-04-01 to April 2004. The linked webpage actually states "(c) 1999" and "Last updated: 04/04" but internal evidence shows that the latter means April 2004, not 1999-04-04.
We may be confused about that source (McElmeel 2004). I don't notice this at a glance when I tweaked its code. It seems to be a webpage associated with a book, maintained by the author of the book. It seems to be her personal website, including some publication data for the book that we have put into the reference. Probably the book publication data belongs only in a note at the end of the reference, whose  content should pertain to the webpage and website only --that is, to our source.--better yet, someone with access to the book may provide a formal reference to it (100 Most Popular Children's Authors); and, I take for granted, may easily add substantially to this article from its "chapter" on Speare.

replies: text: I don't agree.  Just because the ellipses at the beginning and end of the title don't appear in the Amazon listing, it doesn't mean they're not a part of the title.  Granted, an ellipsis is to some degree extraneous punctuation, so I can see why it would be viewed as not part of the official title.  I just wanted to make the point that Amazon isn't the be-all and end-all with regard to album titles.  I'd defer to the record companies in that area, and even they sometimes do things for the sake of convenience that may be contrary to the artist's intentions.  Since an ellipsis isn't pronounced, we wouldn't be able to discern from artist interviews whether they would consider them to be part of the title, so I guess we're left to press materials, etc. as the definitive authority.  Personally, I think they should be included when the title is written, unless it's somehow awkward to do so.  I'd imagine that a website listing like the Amazon page would be one of those times, but I wouldn't follow it as a style template. MaxVolume (talk) 16:31, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not necessarily debating whether the ellipses should be there or not, just that a listing on Amazon or any other vendor's website isn't a reliable style guide.  As for the official site, any Genesis fan knows how many typos have been found there recently, so obviously the connection with the band is tenuous at best, and they apparently have minimal or no oversight with regard to press releases and the like.  I do think that the link you provided seems to be one of those cases where it would have been awkward to include them, but again my beef isn't with their inclusion or omission, just with counting on Amazon as any kind of authority on the proper presentation of album names.
