Talk:Lists of mammals by region

message: User:The Transhumanist says "moved List of regional mammals lists to Lists of regional mammals:  Proper grammar - removed redundant list" (my emphasis).
We had this discussion over at Talk:Lists of birds by region, and I didn't get your point at the time.  You say the second occurence of the word "list" is redundant, and therefore grammatically incorrect.  But that is simply wrong:
* The first occurence of the word "list" refers to the list on this page.
* The second occurence refers to the lists on the other pages; the ones listed on this page.
There is no redundancy, so there is no grammatical error.  And as pointed out in the other place, Wikipedia agrees.
Worse, the move changes the sense of the title to nonsense.  There may well be some regional mammals, but this page certainly is not a list of them.  Some mammals now occur all over the world - the Brown rat, for example.  So presumably they couldn't be regional mammals, could they?  So they wouldn't be in these lists, would they?  But they are, and are meant to be.  In the construction "regional mammal list" the adjective "regional" refers to the list, not the mammals!

replies: text: I would have to agree with the points made above.  I believe we even have a :Category:Lists of lists.  However, is it possible that a title such as List of mammals by region would be acceptable to all?  -- Visviva 06:12, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:2003 PDC World Darts Championship

message: This article has serious issues in terms of style and tone, and reads as though it was written by a sports journalist for a redtop paper. These are just a few of the offending passages:
* Reg Harding, one of the perennial qualifiers who never seems to get beyond the opening round, - this time he did, just!
* Six more third round places up for grabs as the first weekend concluded.
* both he and Alan Warriner could curse their misfortune to draw each other early
* a clearly shellshocked Whitlock taking the 5th set
* to his and wife Yvone's clear relief, he was in the quarter-finals
* Part wasn't the only one desperate to meet Taylor

replies: text:  The originally Russian edition and the second English translation (as Probationers) novel include the GF story but I cann't find information that Probationers was issued as paper book. So I think the novel's 1st English edition (as Space Apprentice) didn't include the GF story as it has published much earlier separately in 1973 compilation Journey Across Three Worlds (issued in the Soviet Union) and in 1979 pb comp. Twenty Houses of the Zodiac (issued in London). However I do not have the Space Apprentice book and I am not assured. NERV 10:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

text:  Yes, but that translation is relatively recent (2004) and hasn't been published in book form as far as I'm aware. I tend to side with NERV on this one. Well, we'll just have to wait until someone turns up who actually has the English editions! - prezzey 01:19, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dentistry/Article rating

message: I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out which rating to use...I think this system might be great for an overall encyclopedia, but there are too many categories for the dental section.  Enamel pearl, for instance...initially I gave it a TOP.  That was prior to reading the dental method for classification...I figured people on every continent know about enamel pearls.  But with your method, I knocked it down to a MID, because, well, what's an enamel pearl?  We learn about it in school like we're going to see it on every patient...same with Wegener's granulomatosis.  Then it's on every exam.  Then we never see or hear about it.  What could possibly be less important than an enamel pearl.  Maybe an enamel knot or cord.  So those two get a LOW?  I mean, this starts off too subjective to begin with, and now it's like intraoperator subjectivity from day to day makes this system way too volatile.

Template talk:Cleanup biography

message: I think this is a great cleanup category, but am wondering if it's necessary to be adding it to Stubs? Stubs and Starts are assessed that way because they are missing lots of content, etc. Seems redundant? Cleanup tags are generally not added to articles until they reach B level. --plange 00:41, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Overly short stubs in general often don't warrant additional cleanup templates at the top of the article; they're short enough that specific issues requiring cleanup can usually be tagged inline, and in this case the fact that it's a stub itself sort of indicates that there is certain information missing. That said, it may depend on the length of the stub; an article can have certain relevant non-biographical information already included, but still be missing biographical information.

Talk:Beau Jocque

message: Recent edits to this article changing the birth name of musician Beau Jocque prompted me to research his non-stage name. All but one reference in reliable sources that I found (including The New York Times, the Associated Press, the Boston Herald, the Baltimore Sun, the New Orleans Times-Picayune and the Library of Congress Name Authority File) show his legal last name to be spelled Espre, as opposed to Espree. There was one 1987 article in the Baton Rouge (LA) Advocate with one instance of a spelling of Espree, but that could have been a typographical error, as all other articles in the BR newspaper spelled his last name as Espre. In addition, no reliable source that I searched had any information about his legal middle name, despite recent edits claiming James vs Joseph. Finally, a photograph of his tombstone shows his non-stage name as "Andrus J. Espre". Therefore, I am going to update the article to reflect this research. If other editors update his non-stage name, please be sure to cite a reliable source to support the change in form of his legal name. NOLA1982 (talk) 02:38, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
