Talk:Paul Scott (novelist)

message: I will try to reference some of the article, and I will be sourcing various citations and biog details. It's a shame to see the article of a major novelist in such a bad state. Anna (talk) 01:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I have tried to reference what is already in the article, from strong sources. Reading it through and looking at biogs, it seems that the extant detail in the WP article is pretty kosher but was added early on, before inline citations were required by WP. The extensive literary commentary (as was) is, no doubt somewhere in the list of books now given as "further reading"; it seems that it was not some random editor's refections. To strengthen the article, I have taken out these elements out and stuck to solid, ref'd biog detail. Anna (talk) 17:27, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Editing article

message: Differing sources say that Scott was forced to leave school at 14 or 16, depending on which you read. Different sources also ascribe different jobs to Scott's time at Falcon Press and Grey Walls Press so I have not added the role detail to the article, due to the confusion. Some say he was an accountant, some say a secretary. He may, of course, have been both or neither.  Anna (talk) 16:31, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Melissopalynology

message: Hello Gary,
The honeybee is known under its latin name of Apis mellifera I think mellifera means `bringer of honey`. From that i confer that mellos or something like that is Greek for honey. What happened to the double `L` and the quite strange coupling of the words by adding ´isso` i do not know.  
The aim of melissopalynology is to determine the species and amount of pollen in honey. It has nothing to do with other properties of honey. I think there is a lot more to tell about this topic. If i have time i want to add some things. 
wiki greetings,

Talk:Valuev Circular

message: The more common name seems to be the "Valuyev circular".  Any objection to moving this? —Michael Z. 2006-11-18 04:57 Z
:The document is know under different English names: Circular, Ukaz, Ukase, Edict, Decree. I agree that "circular" seems to be the most common name, but should it be "Valuev Circular" or "Valuyev Circular"?
:: Good question.  I mostly see "Valuev", but that's because my books are North American publications which use ALA-LC transliteration.  Wikipedia uses BGN/PCGN romanization of Russian: "Valuyev", but perhaps we should go with the former, to be consistent with the article "Pyotr Valuev". —Michael Z. 2006-11-19 17:11 Z
:::I think, "Ukaz" is definitelly wrong word. There was "Valuyev circular" and "Ems ukaz". The status of this two documents was different. English translation should retain this difference.--AndriyK 10:49, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Phases (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

message: There was no "censorship" in the German translation. The pun "mine furrier" is simply untranslatable, at least into German (the show is dubbed, not only subtitled), so they chose to do something different. Happens all the time with Buffy dialogue. There are complete lists documenting translation problems on the Net (google synchrobugs buffy). The general statement about mentionings of the Shoah being cut out routinely in German television is incredibly stupid. This sounds like all of Germany is into Holocaust denial. Nothing could be further from the truth.--15:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Tarari is a major contributor to the AMD Torrenza initiutive and as such we feel we should provide direct information into Wikipedia.

:Hi, the criteria for inclusion for corperations is spelled out here: WP:CORP. What is needed is links to external reliable sources demonstrating one of the following:
#The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company or corporation itself.
#The company or corporation is listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications
#The company's or corporation's share price is used to calculate stock market indices. Being used to calculate an index that simply comprises the entire market is excluded.
:There is alot more detail about this in WP:CORP. Since this is a major corperation it should be easy to find these sources. I am removing the deletion tag to give you time to address these concerns. Thanks. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 05:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Third Edition

message: This article reads like an advertisement for a book. Furthermore, few of the sources seem to me to really be trustworthy -- literally all but one of the sources is either from the book's *website*, from the book's authors' institution, or else is directly selling the book or reporting its contents. That remaining source is an unsubstantiated blog post. To my understanding of WP:RS, none of the above are considered reliable. 
With this in mind, I at least currently see no evidence that there is "significant coverage" from "reliable" "independent" sources, per WP:N. On a more subjective note (I'm not sure which guideline to point to here), if this really is 'the most popular' AI textbook, that may be notable -- but surely an edition list, topics listing, description of updates and *link to code database*, is content that's more appropriate to, say, Amazon, or Google Books?
As such, I'm adding a Notability tag.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.70.131.42 (talk) 03:32, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Space Frontier Foundation

message: This is a different group than the United States Space Foundation located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. There should be another page created for the other organization. 05:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This page reads like an advertisement.  For example, although it has the illusion of being well referenced, of the nine citations, the first six inline citations point to its own website; one reference is a reference to an honor given the co-founder (with no mention of the foundation in the link), and one is a link to the home page of an organization that has certified SFF as a charity, again, with no mention of the foundation on their web page.  I think probably th article should be pruned back and focussed on actual actions and accomplishments of the foundation, not serving as a platform to repeat the philosophies of the founders (which, in any case, should be moved to the articles on the respective founders.
Some of the text seems to be content free.  For example: "Space Frontier Foundation has been supportive of various private sector efforts such as the Ansari X Prize, the SpaceShipOne project, and entrepreneur Robert Bigelow's plans to build a space hotel."  What exactly is meant by "has been supportive"?  Does this mean they've supported these efforts with funds? 
"The Foundation’s current strategic focus is to enable the growth of the NewSpace community."  What does this mean?  Focus what? Enable how?
"When President Bush announced his ‘Renewed Spirit of Discovery’ vision on January 13, 2004, the Foundation's policy toward NASA has been evolving as NASA’s reaction to this change of direction has evolved."  What does this mean?  If this is a list of their opinions, why should this be on Wikipedia?  What relationship does this have to the actions and  accomplishments of the organization?"

message: As of October 28th, 2018, user:Rickyharder has changed the Oil Kings logo from the Crown logo to the black and neon green head logo, as well as changing the team's colors. Where is the verification that this is 100% a logo change? Although the team uses the alternate logo on its website and social media, the 2018-19 WHL Media Guide still lists this logo and the colors as alternate logos.
I think it should be changed back until the team makes this change 100% official. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawkahaulic08 (talk • contribs)

This is my proposal of historical evidence given that in Malibran period there wasn't the term "mezzosoprano" and this stupid (in my opinion) label has been given by Cecilia Bartoli for a sale purpose, not certinly for an historical purpose!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.15.151.41 (talk) 16:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Of more concern to me is CONTEXT.  What is this???  I have a hard time wrapping my head around this more than a silly phrase shared by a few non-notable blogs.  If we can establish that this is some sort of well established logical construct important to a specific field of philosophy or science or some other study (like the Prisoner's dilemma or Schrödinger's cat), then perhaps we will be getting some where.  Right now it seems well below notability, and I have a hard time even seeing where this dilemma has reached a level of acceptance to be referred to in scholarly press, as the above have.  --Jayron32 06:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: He was a chief constable, he was the third most senior officer of the largest police force in Britain and one of the most famous police forces in the world, and he served as one of HM Inspectors of Constabulary. This is part of a series of articles I have written detailing the Assistant Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police, who, believe me, are not insignificant people - they wear the same insignia as Lieutenant-Generals in the British Army, and we would be unlikely to delete an article about an army officer of that rank. I have no idea what your point is when you say "the references on the page do not link to any articles about him". They are not required to. Print sources are fully acceptable on Wikipedia - this idea that only webpages are acceptable sources is quite wrong under Wikipedia policy and The Times is most certainly a reliable source. Since WP:BIO does not cover police officers (or, indeed, military officers), which is a serious omission in itself, slavish adherence to these guidelines would presumably mean deletion of all articles on senior police officers, which is blatantly ludicrous.
