message: Do you think we could not forward all the requests for Fernando Lopes to Fernão Lopez/Fernão Lopes? I'm writing a bio for Fernando Lopes and it's a little irritating all coming to this page. Is Fernando Lopes really a common variant for Fernão Lopes? They are two differetn names in Portuguese. Paul Castro 10:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Microwave oven

message: in the variation part we can add this as solo microwaves are the most common in normal households, etc
A solo microwave is the most basic type of microwave oven. It reheats, cooks and defrosts food evenly but cannot grill or bake. If you only need a microwave for your most basic needs, then a solo model will work just fine. However, keep in mind that it doesn't come with any special features and you can only use microwave-safe glass or plastic dishes with it . Dyrokg (talk) 17:57, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Donald Lam

message: I have today created a new page called Cool and Lam and merged all information from both articles, making both individual pages into redirects.  (see below -- this has been proposed for six weeks with no adverse comments).   I was instructed that I couldn't merge the talk pages so I will leave them as they are, so that people have a record of what's happened.  If anyone has any questions or problems, my talk page will be a good place to let me know. Accounting4Taste 01:48, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: MERGED

message: I've proposed to merge the Bertha Cool and Donald Lam pages into a single page, Cool and Lam.  My reasoning for this is that there are no books that have just one of them -- even in the two wartime novels when Donald Lam is servingin the army, he's constantly referred to and is an active presence in the novels.  All the rest contain the two equally.  Also, I checked out the Nero Wolfe page, and it contains Archie Goodwin -- a very similar situation.  Both are pairs of private investigators, both have one active "leg-man" partner and one "managing" partner.  I'm leaving this proposal up for a while just to ensure that if anyone disagrees, they have a chance to express themselves.  This note has been repeated on the other page that I propose to merge. Accounting4Taste 03:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed Merge

message: Although the assertion that Cool and Lam are known as "The Unlikely Duo" has proliferated throughout pages discussing them, I would very much like to see a citation referencing this.  I have copies of all the novels, in many different editions, and cannot even find a cover blurb suggesting this specific name.  In addition, I have a copy of an unaired television pilot for "Cool and Lam" from the 1950s which features Erle Stanley Gardner himself saying a bit about the duo -- and he doesn't use that name.  Nor does a Google search reveal anything other than the Wikipedia reference.  
I'll leave this up for a while before making alterations just in case someone can come up with a citation.  Admittedly Cool and Lam are an unlikely duo, but I find it hard to accept that they could be known as "the" unlikely duo without more evidence.

There is no African race! It might be more accurate to state persons of the Niger-Congo and Bantu races have sought to infer Severus was black (i.e. visually like them). These races at the time were ensconced in West Africa south of the Sahara and were not in the general purview of the Romans. 2001:8003:70F5:2400:9107:C71E:CFB9:9AAE (talk) 15:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Elizabeth (movie)

message: For those who *only* know this history through this movie, it would be advisable to include the *specific* historical details that are questionable, as the original edit did.  This should be done for literally every historical film, since we have the resources to link to the facts and actual biographies of e historical characters.  We may be actually a unique resource in this respect, since we cover both the films and the history.
:Feel free to add them then.  :-)  I think the "fun" bit is what set off the POV-alarm, but the other two details sound fine.  But I'm not a historian, or even particularly familiar with Elizabeth's reign, so I won't add them back myself.  Koyaanis Qatsi 22:05, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)

message: temporarilly blanked
Why should anyone accussed of hatespeech, libel, harassment, racism, etc., multiple times, and responding to it calmly multiple times, owe anyone an apology for doing so?  User:MyRedDice has been exemplary in his calm responses to provocation, for instance.  This is just not moral equivalence and the mutual "forgive and forget" solution outlined here is just unrealistic if you don't want others to exploit Wiki-process in future to push an agenda. user:142.177.etc
:Ultimately, it is the prerogative of those who have suffered harm to demand satisfaction from an aggressor, or, alternatively, to stand down from a confrontation and move on.  On this note, my experience has been that the best course of action for me to follow is to document my complaints and concerns, skip the apologies, and get back to work.  Should the underlying problems resurface, as they sometimes do, I would follow the same course of action again.  As a pragmatic matter, the behavior of agressors will mellow over time, or, alternatively, they will find themselves shunned and ostracized. -- NetEsq 01:37, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Jeu de paume

message: I am confused. In its article, jeu de paume is played by handpalm. But Real tennis is the original racquet game. They can't be the same! -- Error 01:15, 29 Aug 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Jeu de paume, as the name implies, started without racquets.  Racquets were an historical development to the game.  It started with bindings, then gloves, then sticks, and finally a netted racquet.  For a long time the racquet was optional, and a racqueted player would face one without a racquet.  Frankly, I am not really sure why there are separate Wikipedia articles for real tennis and jeu de paume.  -- As for "ping pong," that is a trademark, and for legal reasons the sport is usually called table tennis.  I have always heard that it started in Victorian England, but see that article for its history. — Eoghanacht talk 17:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Is paume a proper noun? Computerjoe's talk 09:59, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it is a substantive (a noun) ; it means the face inside a hand ("palm"). It must be written with a capital letter when refering to the numerous locations where there were "jeu de paume" courts. In French, it is improper to write it with a capital when refering to the game. But because the sites are more famous than the game (which has nearly disappeared), the "P" in capital letter tends to be the usual form, see the official site of the French federation. Which doesn't pay much attention on correct spelling: on its site you can see "Comité Français" ("F" with a capital is completely wrong!) Gwalarn (talk) 13:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I would say that the gaggle is a subset of that, but not of news conference per se, as it's subsidiary to the functionality of the formal press briefing.
