"...The eventual result was the adoption throughout a large part of the world..."
and most of the world uses SI. Samy23 04:25, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted, since the origin of standard gauge is from feet and inches. This is thus the original measurement ("If editors cannot agree about the sequence of units, put the source value first and the converted value second.") and should be first. But if you want to put metric first (for countries that use metric in designing rail lines and equipment), I changed the template so you can simply put |metric=1 in the infobox code. --NE2 04:49, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

message: French Polishing is also a common euphamism (at least in Britain) for oral sex, if anyone feels it appropriate to include in the article..?
Since french polishing is essentially smearing wood with reconstituted insect vomit and broken glass, I think the blowjob reference deserves a page of its own. This page is already nasty enough for me, anyway.

It could, however, be just about any of the gulls found in Norway, which include the Common gull, the Herring gull, the Lesser and Greater black-backed gulls, the Glaucous gull and the Black-headed gull.  Based on the photos I could find on the web, Black-headed gull chicks don't seem to have an orange beak tip, so we can probably rule that one out — but the others all do, and look pretty much identical in all other respects too.  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 15:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: The blade stood up to Zeus

message: ButterthatBacon, you're doing a great job, but, while you're at it, I have one more suggestion for you.  As the article stands, it is going to have problems because it's written from an "in universe" instead of "out of universe" perspective.  (See the Wikipedia guidelines for writing about fiction for a full explanation of the difference).
If you're still motivated, I would suggest making another pass to include enough out of universe framing to make clear that you're writing about a fictional universe, something like:
The Ebony Blade is a fictional weapon in the Marvel comic book universe.  Created in 1966 by writer Rob Liefeld, the Blade has typically functioned as the main source of powers for most of the various characters bearing the name "the Black Knight."
Thanks, and good work, TheronJ 18:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestions for rewrite 

message: Thanks for the suggestion. The article was already written from such a perspective, though my expansion makes it more apparent. I've added a few details. But I don't have much time to spend on this, so while I'll continue to make small edits here and there, I could use help. Especially in the formatting. I've included citations where I can, but I'm not all that familiar on the format that things should be in. I'm planning on revamping the curse section, as well as the powers section. I'd also like to add a list of wielders of the Blade. But like I said, I could use more help.

Talk:Bang! (album)

message: Re: splitting, if it went ahead, I would split off the Greatest Hits album and call it Bang! (Greatest Hits album), and stick the disambig link at the top of the Bang! (album) page. The Japanese album is in all respects the more notable and interesting of the two.
However, although the greatest hits album is unremarkable, it does exist, and if people were searching for it and found only the Japanese compilation, they may be disappointed.
This was why I originally kept them together: same band, same title, one important album, one not important but deserving of a mention all the same, at least in encyclopedic terms.

There is too much here that it about the general socio-economic regional problems facing post-unification Italy, (which ought to be a separate article: perhaps there is one?), and not enough about how trasformismo operated a. Also, it seems to have an excessively moralistic tone.

replies: text: Trasformismo is certainly the correct form in Italian: in addition to EB, see any Italian dictionary (Collins-Sansoni Italian-English is the one I just checked), or the article on the Italian Wikipedia :it:Trasformismo. (:it:Transformismo doesn’t exist, even as a redirect from a mis-spelling.) I would guess that a lot of the google hits for transformismo are pages in Spanish: there’s an article at :es:transformismo which seems to be about drag-queens. An alternative would be to use the translation Transformism, as does Denis Mack Smith in his Modern Italy: A political history. However, for an encyclopedia article title I feel that Trasformismo is preferable (even though we generally prefer English) as the term is commonly used in English writing on Italian politics and we would probably have to dismbiguate an English title to something like Transformism (Italian politics). —Ian Spackman 14:03, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
