thread_title: Untitled

message: One editor seems to take issue with any description that states that "Independent House of Radio" is intended to be humorous. In IMHO, this is bizarre. True, humor is in the eye and ear of the beholder; and true, I can't find any verifiable source that confirms that IHOR is a play on "International House of Pancakes." But are not some things obvious on their face? Whad'Ya Know is, after all, a "humor" show. IHOR is clearly a humorous reference to IHOP. Does anyone have any other explanation for his invention of the term, "Independent House of Radio?" If not, I suggest reverting.--RattBoy 10:54, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Apis (deity)

message: Can anyone confirm the age at which the Apis bull was killed?
It says 28 in this article, but Joseph Campbell says 25. On the web there seem to be more votes for 25, but I cannot find an original source.
:: Ruling out one source: Everyday Life in Ancient Egypt by Lionel Casson (my favourite historian) doesn't give the age.  --Damate
:: Civilization before Greece and Rome by H.W.E. Saggs also doesn't say... --Damate
:: Citing Herodotus and [[Plutarch], Wilkinson states that the bull was killed at 25. (Wilkinson, Richard H. The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt. London: Thames and Hudson, 2003. .)
:::The lack of age, is because it is likely conjecture based on a single documented age at time of burial. Therefore the authors you approved of were not able to find a source and did not include such information. ~ This article is infuriating to me for the same reason. I learn some of these language things 20 years ago. And still have books to cite about the Bull Messenger of God. Because there were two divine bulls in each of two regions (See Narmer's Palette, with 4 different bulls, two per side) and a sun focus, perhaps they did it on the 11th or 21st year of life to match the sun cycles.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.196.192.38 (talk) 05:04, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Harry Potter Culture

message: My only problem with merging with Harry Potter Fandom is the title of that page.  A lot of what I wrote is about fandom, but I would hope it could describe people in broader terms.  As can be seen just by the number of Harry Potter pages on Wikipedia, the Harry Potter books have impacted many more people than just those who have read them.  For instance we have the shot in the arm for childrens litterature and the book business.  The darkness of the books has given permission for adult ideas in other childrens books and media.  Also J.K. Rowlings writing craft may give birth to many great writers from the ranks of her readers. --Gearspring 18:55, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

message: There is so much wrong with this article that it's going to take a while to fix it. I've removed the most glaring mistakes (Numu-tibo'o was Wovoka's father but was NOT Wodziwob, that was an erroneous claim by Mooney which was later disproven by Du Bois, as Numutibo'o didn't die until 1912, while Wodziwob died in 1872).

The "raw term" Jamaica, goes to Jamaica (the country).
On the disambig page, I have no problem with listing Jamaica (the country) as number one, but then the disambig page should refer to the "raw term" Jamaica.
:I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but I still think "Jamaica, a nation in the Caribbean Sea" should be at the top. Jamaica, the country, is surely the most important place with this name. Teklund 10:51, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The standard practice at Wikipedia is to put the country under the plain country name and then use a disambig page named "[Country Name] (disambiguation)", see United States and United States (disambiguation), Canada and Canada (disambiguation), United Kingdom and United Kingdom (disambiguation), Japan and Japan (disambiguation), Luxembourg and Luxembourg (disambiguation), Brazil and Brazil (disambiguation), etc.  (Note also, that on all of those disambig pages, the country is listed first) Your arguments may be justification for changing that standard for all countries, but we shouldn't just treat one country different from all the rest.

Talk:Chargé d'affaires

message: The statement "Essentially, chargés d’affaires do not differ from ambassadors, envoys or ministers resident" is probably technically correct in diplomatic practice.  However, in common reference it always seems that a less-favorable nation's diplomatic envoy is termed 'chargés d’affaires', while those to say France or Belgium are always called ambassadors.
Again, they may be technically the same, but in most journalistic references, I think my observation holds true.  I would site Burma as a recent example.

Wikipedia talk:Template guidelines

message: There's lots of people going around using message templates such as cleanup, and merge, cite references, in manner which I consider to be rather slapdash, and detrimental to the quality of wikipedia as an encyclopedia. Maybe an article isn't perfect, but with a big ugly message at the top saying it requires cleanup, it will give a very bad impression to any newcomers. These messages make wikipedia look bad. It's fine if they get resolved and removed fairly quickly, but these messages tend to get left there, and either people don't fix the problem, or the problem gradually gets fixed, but nobody has the confidence to remove the message.
See also discussed on Wikipedia talk:Merging and moving pages#Stale Merge Requests
I want to propose a policy that any use of such message tags should be accompanied by a Talk page discussion post explaining why in more detail, and that any messages which do not have an acompanying talk page explanation, can be removed immediately, on the basis that it was in breach of this policy. The new talk section will have three positive effects:
* Force people to be a bit more considered in their use of such messages in the first place.
* Commence discussion, which should help resolve the issue (particularly in the case of merges)
* Allow people to be more bold in removing messages by judging the original issue to be resolved.
The first point is the most important. I get the impression there are people swinging by and slapping messages everywhere, on articles which they have no intention of revisiting. I'm sure there are those who will want to defend this freedom, but in my opinion such behaviour should be discouraged. 
I think it's a fairly big change which will require some discussion. So the first question is. Where should I put my policy proposal? We can discuss it right here, but maybe it can be included on this Wikipedia:Template guidelines page. Or maybe it should be on its own page? -- Nojer2 09:49, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
