Wikipedia talk:April Fool's Joke Policy

thread_title:  It's About Time! 

message: I changed the  tag to  because I do not see any evidence this page is policy.  I suspect this page is just intended to be funny, in which case I "get it", I just don't think it's all that funny.  (Sorry, simply linking to WP:TINC does not automatically make something funny to me.  (Even though I expect that will upset the cabal.  Or would, if there was one.  Which there isn't.))  (I'm all for humor when it's actually funny, and much of WP humor is funny.)  (I'm also all for parenthetical remarks.)
If this actually is a serious attempt at policy, cool, more power to you, but you need to get consensus first.  Or please link to a discussion which demonstrates consensus has already been achieved.  See Wikipedia:How to create policy.
Anyhows, wanted to explain what I'm up to.  Cheers.  —DragonHawk (talk) 00:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Assess for Schools

message: In order to avoid an edit war and run the risk of violating 3rr, I'm asking here on the talk page for the editor who is adding Ian Chalmers (and now, Michael Anderson) as notable alumni to provide references to support the claim that they are notable. If one or both of them have been referenced in a reliable, 3rd party source, then they should absolutely be added. The goal here, however, is to ensure that students or others do not add names spuriously which constitutes vandalism to the article. I would also ask that the editor replace the two names that were removed from the article as they are notable. I have 3rd party references for those but the 3rr rule prevents me from including them today. Thanks! Wikipelli Talk 19:58, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Alternative uses of the word 'Stillage'

message: A Stillage can be of many forms,yet used for similar reasons. A Stillage is mainly to transport goods without the need to load & unload the product being carried. Using a Stillage saves time & less chance of damage. A Stillage is well used throughout the glass industry, being shaped like an "A" the glass is lent inward then strapped to the Stillage ready for transport.
The Stillage is generally moved by a fork lift truck for loading onto a waggon, the Stillage can also have lifting eyes for site use were a fork lift truck may not have access then a crain can be used.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by G A BOOTH (talk • contribs) 14:54, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Complex analytic geometry

message: Taken from Complex geometry article (where this
content does not belong, really) Tiphareth 16:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The title of this article "Complex analytic geometry" is not a common phrase and the article is therefore likely to be an orphan. The subject merits attention, nevertheless. The article complex number has a large section of applications but not yet to geometry:
* 7 Applications 
* 7.1 Control theory
* 7.2 Signal analysis
* 7.3 Improper integrals
* 7.4 Quantum mechanics
* 7.5 Relativity
* 7.6 Dynamic equations
* 7.7 Fluid dynamics
* 7.8 Fractals
* 7.9 Algebraic number theory
* 7.10 Analytic number theory
But that article is already very long. Further, plane geometry is implicit in much of the knowledge about complex numbers. Perhaps the material fits with geometric algebra, a more vital area with contenders advocating special methods.Rgdboer (talk) 21:47, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Venusians

message: Odd usage of "epithet":
Under 
"Etymology
...[snip]...
The classically correct form of the word should be "Venerean" or "Venerian" (cf. Latin: venereus, venerius "belonging to the goddess Venus"), but these forms were only used by a few authors (e.g. Robert A. Heinlein). Scientists sometimes use the adjective "Cytherean" to describe Venus, from the goddess' epithet Cytherea."
but in Wikipedia "Epithet" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithet), under "Linguistics", we see:
"In contemporary usage, epithet is also used to refer to an abusive or defamatory phrase, such as a racial epithet.",
and since Wikipedia is in contemporary usage, why use the superficially correct "epithet", when the more appropriate "eponym" or "sobriquet" may fit?
