Talk:Package delivery

message: This article ignores the history of package delivery in other countries, notably the country of England, which had a commercial postal delivery service several hundred years before that of the US. I would therefore encourage anyone with knowledge of package delivery in other countries to contribute (cf. Wikipedia Countering Systemic Bias Project) --Gilgongo (talk) 22:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  USPS ad 

message: There is a need for discussion of heavy packaged goods via package delivery services.  This is certainly not the same as bulk cargo.   I have cleaned up the previous section of this subject to remove excessive commercial links.  Pkgx (talk) 03:18, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree there is a need for this. The article is about the delivery of packages and not about any other non-package services provided by companies that happen to do package delivery. Your addition belongs in details about the services provided by such companies or that type of service and not about an entirely different type of service. Besides which most of the addition is unsourced and if it is not suited to Cargo, according to you, than it probably belongs in a "Distribution" section, if one needs writing, of the Logistics or Distribution (marketing) articles but not here. ww2censor (talk) 10:08, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Morelia spilota variegata

message: I've gone ahead and removed the image of the "Carpet snake hibernating behind stereo system(for warmth)." It's certainly not a natural setting and it's even possible that the scene is to some extent a fabrication. If anything, it's more a novelty photo than anything else. In my estimation, it's presence at this point also makes this article a little too image heavy. --Jwinius (talk) 12:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed third image

message: Can anyone confirm this snake's identity as a variegata? With the reddish ground colour and elongate pale lateral stripes I'd swear this is a bredli (Centralian Carpet) rather than a variegata (Northwestern Carpet) which tend to have a much simpler pattern of transverse dark inclusions. Checked the original stated source and there is no mention as to what type of carpet python this is - she misidentifes a water dragon as a bearded lizard so the original author may not know anyway.Ozraptor4 (talk) 03:50, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

File talk:AtheismImplicitExplicit3.svg

message: I like the idea of this image, but I stared at it for a long time until I realized that the words underneath ("Weak Atheism" "Strong Atheism") were not linked to the image in a left-right sense, but linked by color.  Perhaps if they were written in black and next to the image as a standard "legend" it might be clearer?

The description for this image is displayed as follows:
"An Euler diagram showing the relationship between we believe we were made from monkey crap weak/strong atheism and implicit/explicit atheism. Strong atheism is always explicit, and implicit atheism is always weak. Explicit atheism is not true.

Talk:HMS Royal James (1658)

message: This page's title is very misleading, as there was of course no "HMS Royal James" in 1658 - the name was changed to this in 1660. Technically, this should be entitled "Richard (1658)", but it might be easier to change the date in the present title from 1658 to 1660, as long as the article makes the situation clear.

# It's either original research or unsourced.
# It doesn't actually describe what it's doing.
# It's an obvious piece of howto info.
I reckon this should be removed. The rationale given ("with an example the rest doesn't make sense") doesn't hold; there are plenty of articles on software libraries which can hold their own on WP without code examples. Chris Cunningham (talk) 14:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: But how else do you think the article can be expanded?  I know the article obviously needs to explain various structures and functions. The code example, I mean this particular one, is not an original research at all because it is very straightforward way of demonstration of various features in the library. I agree the code probably needs some more comments, but I didn't meant it is perfect. Finally, it is not good that the large part of the article is just a program code, but then the right course of action would be expand the article not remove the code, just like in any other articles in wikipedia. -- Taku (talk) 22:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Uses, history, functionality compared to spec. Original research means anything which isbn't directly appropriated from sources.

Since it was build for a Monastery - who (I'm guessing) claimed the whole crop on their land - it was build at a 'grange' barn, but it may have become a 'tithe' barn after the 'privatisation' of Henry VIII. Also - 'tithe' in the title suggest purpose - there are other 'Great Barns' in England - why not rename the article to 'Great Barn - Great Coxwell' (for example) then the title does not imply purpose, but the article content could contain the 'discussion' regarding 'tithe' / 'grange' WikiWriter (talk) 13:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

message: An IP editor has recently (twice) changed this to say Great Coxwell is in Berkshire (although the village article, Great Coxwell says it transferred to Oxfordshire in 1974), saying "the administrative boundaries for local authorities were moved, but not the actual county boundaries", and citing http://www.abcounties.co.uk/counties/confusion.htm. However, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK counties) makes it clear that "We should use the current, administrative, county", and that "We should mention historic (or ancient) counties in articles about places and in references to places in a historic context, but only as an afternote". So I've reverted again - I'm adding this note here in case any discussion is required, and in case the editor (who seems to be on a dynamic IP) doesn't see the note I left on their own Talk page. -- Boing! said Zebedee 11:31, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Harrogate (Stonefall) Cemetery

message: This article is so headed that the reader may easily assume the whole of Stonefall (aka Wetherby Road) Cemetery was set up by and belongs to the CWGC. The then IWGC (Imperial War Graves Commission) printed list of war graves in its county describes the cemetery (at time of post-WWI publication) as belonging to Harrogate Corporation ie it was a municipal cemetery. It is not a CWGC cemetery, more accurately it is a cemetery which contains Commonwealth war graves and has dedicated war grave plots cared for by the CWGC. The history of the cemetery, which contains the Harrogate Crematorium, obviously precedes WWI and deserves to be put in better context. The infobox infers there are only war grave burials dating from 1943 at earliest when in fact there were burials in the first period (1914-21) that CWGC registration covers. I am not local so do not know if Harrogate's local authority still own it, or whether it has been 'privatised'. The CWGC's website's 'Find a cemetery' list does not separately list the military and the municipal sections and treats the whole cemetery as one entity.Cloptonson (talk) 19:10, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

message: I have edited some sentences in the large section about this crash that were rather panoramic. I have also edited the opening sentences describing the Berlin raid that coincided with the crash because this was a training plane that would be separate from the bomber party being deployed to Berlin. (Had the crew lived and passed training then they would graduate to taking part in future raids.) While material based on cited information is welcome, please be considerate to the context and subject of the article. I have amalgamated the first two sentences and totally deleted the following:
27 Lancasters were not to return to their bases in England, most were lost in the Berlin area, some seven and half percent of the attacking bombers missing. Eighty two houses were destroyed and thirty six people were killed.
