replies: text:  , mentioning the ranking is undue, because the lead is meant to summarize the article's "most important aspects ... The emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic, according to reliable, published sources." Beyond the use of the list itself to cite it in the body, what other discussion of Rolling Stone's 500 greatest list is there among the sources in this article to further establish its importance? Or is its importance to this album based on your opinion of the list only? Dan56 (talk) 21:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think you are wrong, and I see that the RS list is mentioned in the leads of dozens of music articles and nobody has an issue with them there. Yes I know, WP:OTHERSTUFF, but almost every reason you give against it is your own opinion that others do not share. To answer your question, I think that the album was included in the list helps to establish the album's importance. CountGramula (talk) 17:34, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Rockaway, Queens

message: Note: The comment about the easternmost portion forming the town of East Rockaway is not correct. (1) East Rockaway is a village in the Town of Hempstead. (2) East Rockaway is several miles from the Rockaway peninsula. (3) The nearest Nassau County communities are Inwood, Lawrence, and Cedarhurst.
Notes belong on the talk page I believe, and then worded to fit with an encyclopedic format...however, I don't know much about this part of New York, so I think I should leave it up to someone else who does know about it to fix it so it will be correct. -WikiFiend90 18:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Something Like This...

message: Someone from Woodmere, for example, would not likely say, "I live on the Rockaway Peninsula."  But that person would be correct from a geographical standpoint.  A close look at a map shows open water affected by tidal action reaching east of Kennedy Airport as far as Valley Stream and north of Long Beach as far as Rockville Center.  There is a reason that East Rockaway got its name.  It is geographically part of the peninsula.  The Five Towns (Inwood, Lawrence, Cedarhurst, Woodmere, Hewlett) are also all on the peninsula.  In fact it could be argued that the southern edges of Lynbrook are also part of the peninsula, but I don't want to belabor the point!).  Some people believe that Far Rockaway is so named because it is the farthest point east from the tip of the peninsula (Breezy Point).  But in fact is was so named because it was the farthest point west from the standpoint of the early settlers coming from Hempstead.  (Interestingly, and tellingly, East Rockaway was originally called Near Rockaway.)  Past Far Rockaway westward, there was nothing but empty land of sand and salt grass.  Over the past two centuries, The Rockaway Peninsula has been built up along its entirety.  But the tidal water courses defining its geographical limits have not been filled in.
There is no article describing the Rockaway Peninsula as a geographical entity.  Frankly, I don't think there would be enough information to create more than a stub, anyway.  Therefore, I think it is worth including a short paragraph in this article to explain this geographical point with a caveat that those living in the "Nassau Rockaways" almost never use this designation.  Well, at least not today.  An external link in the article (Bellot's History of the Rockaways from 1685 to 1917 talks about the complete peninsula as being the Rockaways.  And, as late as the 1970's, there were local phone books called "Nassau & Queens Rockaways"  Nassau Rockaways in the front, Queens Rockaways in the back and unified yellow pages in the middle.  --@Efrat (talk) 16:45, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Enoch Light

message: Looks like someone basically re-wrote the biography from the Official website. Not so much a re-writing as a re-wording: I'm not sure if the editor really changed enough to make it his or her own words (and in some cases, the re-wording changed the meaning entirely). I wonder whether this is a borderline copyvio.  Which would be too bad, because Enoch Light is ceraintly worthy of an encyclopedia entry. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 20:24, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Night Goblin

message: Can someone tell me what word to use instead of subspecies here? I saw "sub-breed" in the Savage Orc (Warhammer) article but I'm not positive whether night goblins are a "breed" of common goblins, i.e. their
physiological traits are different from the ones of common goblins... or something like that. Would variety be a good word? Anzuhan
*They're not really a breed as such, just adapted to living in a different enviroment. Whilst this has altered their psychological characteristics, I'd write something like "Night Goblins are a different variety of goblins adapted to life underground..." or something similar, just as Forest Goblins are adapted to life in the jungle. I suppose that either variety or breed would be good, just as long as the emphasis is that Night Goblins are not bred (like Uruk-Hai, for example!), but just adapted to living underground. Anyway, just my ideas... :)

thread_title:  Golden Chains 

message: This Wikipedia page divides people from Somalia into those from Somalia and those from Somaliland. There’s no recognized country called Somaliland. Not only that but the semi-autonomous secessionist government that calls itself “Somaliland” does not control former British Somaliland territories. As of August 2023, SSC-Khatumo which controls the region between Puntland and “Somaliland” is became a recognized state within Somalia. 
It’s irresponsible reporting to define Somaliland as a separate entity from Somalia when:
1) Somaliland is not a recognized nation and by international law is part of Somalia 
2) What’s designated as “Somaliland” isn’t fully under the control of the separatist Somaliland government 
As someone from Northwest Somalia (Waqooyi Galbeed), I hope this can fixed because we see ourselves as part of Somalia not a separate country. 2603:8000:8E40:165D:1438:740C:4CF3:5759 (talk) 18:08, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
