Talk:Chana district

message: I removed the following sentence from the article
:The district were detached from Pattani and transferred to Songkhla in recent times by the Thai government.
The reference to Royal Gazette I added about the rename already lists it as part of Songkhla, and something before 1924 hardly can be described as "recent". It is of course possible that the area of this district was under Mueang Pattani in the past and got reassigned to Songkhla, but there should be some sources backing it, and being a bit more specific than the clearly wrong "recent". andy 12:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lists of ghost towns in Canada

message: The article says ":Ghost towns are :towns that once had a considerable population, that have since dwindled in numbers causing some or all its business to close, either due to the rerouting of a highway, train tracks being pulled, or exhaustion of some :natural resource"  What is the basis for this definition?  It does not exactly match the meaning found in :Ghost towns, nor is there any citation for this present extended definition and the presence in the table of towns that have more than 0 people.  Does Canada have its own special/unique definition of ghost towns? Hmains (talk) 19:23, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

If a province has a separate list in another article, this list should contain only the wiki link.

Talk:Sunda Shelf

message: Should this page be merged with Sundaland? They seem to be about the same area, and could easily be part of one article. Any difference between the two seems to be confused by the articles. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 06:37, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No they shouldn't be. Their respective first sentences are quite clear on their differences. I identified this mess on my sandbox a year or so ago  But, not needing to merge them, does not mean they are not of low quality with work needing done. I'd focus on removing unverifed info before expansion.--Merbabu (talk) 06:44, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The first sentences may be, but the rest of the article (however short) doesn't follow that. I think the history on Sundaland should be moved here, as it has little to do with an ecoregion. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 06:52, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: They are related, but there is a clear distinction in concepts - which you acknowledge yourself - and thus they should not be merged. Moving content between articles might be required, but that's not the same as merging. --Merbabu (talk) 14:00, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I know its not the same, hence my not making an official merge request, but putting it under discussion. The problem is that the articles lack distinction. If that distinction can be made, it would be better for both articles. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 14:27, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I have read the page Sunda Plate and looked at the page for the Eurasian Plate and see that the area being called Sunda Shelf is now being called Sunda Plate. I think the argument has been won that the area is not a shelf and extension of the larger Euraisan Plate. Instead the area is listed specifically as a minor independent tetonic plate.  Therefore, a merger with the page Sunda Plate is in order. For now I have added language to the page that this area is incorrectly being called the Sunda Shelf.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbmaise (talk • contribs) 17:33, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Andrew Nichols

message: Am I wrong to add Barbara Budd and Mary Lou Findlay to this list? Apologies if I'm just an ignorant American, but many of the most thrilling news stories ever I've heard have been spoken into a microphone by those talented Canadian women. But are they considered just some kind of fluff in Canada, and not real journalists? Barbara and Mary Lou were among my first radio ambassadors from your wonderful country, when I was a kid listening painstakingly to RCI via shortwave (I climbed trees to hang antenna wire between them, selecting a different tree when I figured I could aim my antenna nearer the transmitter.) 
The Canada that As It Happens educated me about, with their famous telephone interviews, led me to wonder, study, and ultimately fall in love with Canada. I love my own Kentucky too, but Barbara and Mary Lou's presentation of the world was universalizing in its influence. It was easy to see that some organizer they interviewed for the Cranberry Festival in Bala was exactly analogous to the woman who organizes "Tater [Potato] Days" in Kentucky's own Marshall County. That's what I mean by a universalizing influence.
Oh, also, sometimes, during the intro to As It Happens, the two of them would sing. That's something you don't see Walter Cronkite or Katie Couric do very often, at least not nowadays. 
Canadians don't realize how much the world would benefit if everyone in the world were like them, is this foreigner's opinion.
O Canada, this American stands ever on guard for thee. And this American often wishes we could be a better neighbor to you. Alan Canon (talk) 08:48, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Strangely, of the two you've propsed, only Barbara Budd has endured, despite not being a journalist. She is only an annoucer on As It Happens, not an interviewer. The same criticism applies to many other people on the list, like George Stroumboulopoulos, Evan Solomon, or R. H. Thomson, none of whom I would consider journalists.

Talk:Striker's Independent Society

message: The article "Striker's Independent Society" was created on 3-July-2006 (by User:Plange), with reference footnotes for each statement.  It was expanded in February 2007 with section "Offshoots in New Orleans" and the Mardi-Gras logo image. -Wikid77 14:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Created

message: 15-Nov-2007: Back on 3-April-2007, the Mardi-Gras logo GIF image (only 2K) was replaced with a PNG-converted image by wiki bot User:PNG_crusade_bot.  Although the GIF-format image was only 2K (half-second display time even at slow dial-up speed), the auto-conversion bot did not weigh the effort expended to convert a trivial, tiny image: the bot just went PNG-psycho, relentlessly converting everything to PNG that it could.  Many PNG images displayed 3x times slower than equivalent GIF images, and a whopping 6x-21x times slower than JPEG images: although some PNG images stored as 5% smaller than GIFs, once those PNG images were wiki-thumbnailed for actual display, the intermediate PNG files were typically 100x-400x times the 5% larger now, the exact opposite, "bass-ackwards" on steroids, up to 400 times that difference larger, not smaller. In October 2007, for English Wikipedia only, the true sizes of PNG files were hidden when the right-click menu was disabled for PNG/SVG images (but not disabled for GIF/JPEG images); the disabled right-click menu also prevented displaying PNG/SVG images as "Open in New Window" (but not disabled on Wikimedia Commons or other wikipedias).  By November 2007, PNG images refused to stay magnified to oversize dimensions: after a few seconds of large display, the PNG images would auto-shrink to the size of the original PNG image (but GIF images would still remain when oversized).  Hey, on 14-Nov-2007, I converted the PNG image back to GIF (quick thinking, huh?). Now as a GIF image, the Mardi-Gras logo is wikilinked by right-click "Open in New Window" again. -Wikid77 14:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Robin Hood's Grave

message: Although I do not dispute that the grave is fake I want to add some information given in a German documentary series. German public TV produces a programme named "Mythos - Die größten Rätsel der Geschichte" (translated: Myth - History's Greatest Mysteries). In the 2022 Robin Hood episode, scientists and historians such as Mike Clark or Sean McGlynn dig deeper into the legends surrounding RH. The grave and also Kirklees Priory are looked into. The date on the grave is explained as follows: 24 Kal Dekembris means 24 days before the kalend (meaning beginning) of December, which points to the 8th of November (lat. VI idus novembris). As this article here states that there is no such thing as 24 kal Dekembris it would be interesting to know why there are different takes on the date. Glamourqueen (talk) 23:48, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Just for your 411 New Thought and Christian Science developed during the same era and timeline. Now New Thoughts major teaching are Unity Church, Religious Science and Divine Science. Now Christian Science shares many of the same beliefs but Mary Baker Eddy was very definite about God being a Christian and a lot of dogma. New Thought is an ever evolving belief system which is open at the top and open to Truth where ever it is found. So if you are a new New Thought" teaching I would figure out the similarities and steer clear of connecting New Thought to Christian Science (Christian Science will be more than willing to show how New Thought is not like their teaching)LOL. It is interesting to note Mary Bakey Eddy helped herself to a lot of NT teachings and gave no credit to the teachers. Christian Science was never part of  the New Thought movement. Unity is the the denomination in NT  that most identifies with christianity. you might want to clear or clean that up that in your the article.

Talk:Idalia, Colorado

message: Should a town page like this really have a section listing commercial establishments?  It doesn't seem very encyclopedic to me, and it seems rather close to advertising.  It seems like something that belongs in a WikiTravel article instead.
A Google search turned up a few foreign towns and cities with such a section, and one fictional town.  Notably, I did not find Idalia in those searches, so I may have missed many other examples as well.
I agree that the Establishments section reads too much like advertising. However, I do think that there is value in mentioning the town's business climate. What is the protocol for this? Perhaps edit the section so that the businesses are described, but not necessarily mentioned by name? Lthanlon (talk) 18:59, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
