Talk:1912 World Series

message: While researching, I found a discrepancy regarding the final rally in Game 8.  MLB.com and The Sporting News both say that Engle reached second base on Snodgrass' error, advanced to third on Hooper's fly ball and scored on Speaker's single.  However, the Retrosheet play-by-play indicates that Engle was on FIRST base after Snodgrass' error, and advanced to SECOND on Hooper's fly, prior to scoring on Speaker's hit.  I went with Retrosheet in the article.  Would appreciate it if anyone else could resolve this. Vidor 15:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Game 8

message: I feel that the article's lead is poor, and should be improved with a re-write, which I'm not prepared to do at the moment.  I make this comment in passing on the talk page as a possible note-to-self reminder to see about same, or else to encourage other editors to improve same if I don't.  In my view, improvement would include things like: reducing editorializing, improving general flow of ideas, consistent capitalization etc.  For the benefit of all, myself included, I link the WP:LEAD guideline as a brush-up.MinnesotanUser (talk) 03:07, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Lead

message: The Bill James Historical Abstract has this interesting passage about game 8. "In the fourth, Buck Herzog led off with a double that would have been a triple but for a special ground rule put in for the series, because of crowds that were supposed to be there but weren't [half-full as noted in the article]. If it had been a triple he would have scored, and the Giants would have won the game." PatConolly (talk) 03:17, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Local maps

message: I will be replacing images on the various map projection pages. Presently many are on a satellite composite image from NASA that, while realistic, poorly demonstrates the projections because of dark color and low contrast. I have created a stylization of the same data with much brighter water areas and a light graticule to contrast. See the thumbnail of the example from another article. Some images on some pages are acceptable but differ stylistically from most articles; I will replace these also.
The images will be high resolution and antialiased, with 15° graticules for world projections, red, translucent equator, red tropics, and blue polar circles.
Please discuss agreement or objections over here (not this page). I intend to start these replacements on 13 August. Thank you.

thread_title:  [[:File:American Polyconic projection.jpg]] to appear as POTD soon 

message: I deleted a series of edits by User:146.96.252.3 that mention a "Chinese polyconic projection". The projection it notes does appear to have a history of use in China, but the Chinese article on the topic does not have good sources, let alone ones available to an English encyclopædia. This appears to be a situation where some common phenomenon that you would expect to be notable has no WP:NOTABLE sources. If anyone has good information about this projection, we should figure out how to proceed with something more responsible than a poorly-sourced Chinese article and a commercial map.

Dave Charnley was European, Commonwealth and British lightweight boxing champion from 1957 to 1963. He almost became world champion in 1961 but lost to his arch-rival Joe Brown in a controversial 15 round bout called by Ring Magazine the fight of the year.
So he was definitely a significant player in the boxing scene in the 50s and early 60s, absolutely worthy of mention on Wikipedia, yet my first post was deleted.  Why?  You can  contact me here: charn@rogers.com.  Here is a re-edited version.

Talk:Aunarius

message: From the first version of this article it had him at the Council of Auxerre in 585 or '681' - long after his own death - so I've amended this to 578 as in other sources.
His birthdate is also oft cited as 573 which is patently wrong - he'd have been chairing a synod at age 5! It's probably the date he became bishop. I've amended to "c.540" as found at Dictionary by D.F. Robinson, 1827 .
His deathdate is shown in that source as 25 September 604 or 605; yet Catholic Encyclopedia, 2003 says 25 September 601; and the original version of this article said 603. Due to the confusion I've left it as "c.603" for now - someone with more time could check the various references.

Talk:Cataclysmic variable star

message: does a cataclysmic variable have to undergo a typical nova reaction? the article describes a typical nova reaction
i think if it doesn't we don't recognise it as a variable. btw i also think that most of the types can be explained by the relative masses, temperatures and distances of the systems elements. for example a relatively big primary would be a VY sculpturis, and SU UM have a relatively cool primary, the ones that accrete more hydrogen supposedly would usually accompany a younger star , the ones that pause might well be in equilibrium or have very long periods (one side starts fusing but it takes long for the whole surface to heat enough, after wich the other side finishes the fusion proces (probably logically) before the first side burns out.(in that cse there should be variable's that have 2 periods if variation, when the critical mass of hydrogen is not allways big enough to have it all fuse. (i assume they would be rare however, since apparently the mechanism allows for the non exposed side to fuse usually.)  etc.  24.132.171.225 (talk) 13:56, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Claims of a romantic/personal relationship in a BLP (biography of living person) need to be cited to reliable secondary sources under WP:RS, which you should review carefully.  The picture-hosting paparazzi sites you reference to are not reliable sources for Wikipedia purposes, and drawing conclusions from the pictures themselves is original research from primary sources, which Wikipedia does not accept.  And you need to find reliable sources for all the elements of the statements made (like the length of the relationship).

All articles in Wikipedia must represent a neutral point of view and written in third person, therefore you could not write the article as first person plural we/us. The Haven and British Holidays article has been clearly referenced, uses a neutral point of view and written in third person. P.S. just adding a template does not add this article for deletion; it must go through the article deletion process.
