Talk:Numpty

message: "Numpty" appeared as a made-up word entered in 2005 when students at the University of South Florida were assigned homework involving creating made-up words and posting dictionary articles about them to Wikipedia to promote their made-up meanings. In the discussion of the inadvertent vandalism (if those words can be used together), Apwoolrich entered this side comment:
:"May be coincidence but Numpty is a dialect term in the UK. I know a lady who was born in Northamptonshire who uses it regulary to describe someone who is a bit thick (as in dim witted)." <Br>
The note on the deletion of the talk page1 included this from Crazfulla: "This word is verified via the external link given. You could ask any scottish person as to it's origin." Gee. Wonder what the external link was?<Br>
If this is true there needs to be referenced information here; if not the empty entry needs to be removed. Even so the entry may need to be transwikied to Wiktionary. <Br>

Talk:Alice Austen House

message: I'm a bit concerned that we lost something between here (Appraiser's changes) and here (Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )).  Specifically, I think we've lost a few references and more importantly, lost what the references support.  For example
* here we lost the http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/70000925.pdf supporting documents
* here where the "nhlsum" reference used on pretty much every other NHL in the country was changed to point to the top level nps site, but not an alice austen specific one.
* This edit added a nytimes article about the neighborhood housing market with one sentence about the Alice Austen house mentioning it was a museum.  Several edits later, it appears this now supports that the house is on the HHT
Reading the (diff) makes some of this easier to follow.  I dont believe there is any malice or ill will here, in fact, quite the opposite in that references were added and text improved.  I suspect it was too many edits in too short a time.  Comments?  Suggestions for improvements before I start re-editing? dm (talk) 15:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually drafted some changes I wanted to make, but I don't appear to have that doc here with me.

thread_title:  Location 

message: I just blanked much of the article, explaining reasoning here.
First and most importantly, it was a copyright violation. It's a translation of copyrighted material that doesn't fall under fair use because it's an extensive reproduction.
Second, it was unacceptably non-neutral. Not saying this because I'm offended (I'm totally willing to believe it was an act of unprovoked barbarism from the South Korean side), I'm saying this because for an event that's this controversial and inflammatory, the bar for quality is much, much higher. Only a single POV is prevented that uses clearly non-neutral harsh language.
If you'd like to view what the article used to say, this is the last revision before my blanking. toobigtokale (talk) 19:59, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Maybe modern members of those ethnic groups would "object" to being called Slavs or Germanics or whatever mainly because they aren't precisely Slavs or Germanics, but they wouldn't object to someone saying Slavs or Germanics lived near Estonians, Lithuanians etc. You have to remember the author is using the political areas as a common guidestone of something that existed centuries (maybe even millenia) earlier. To summarize, "Slavs further east" does not mean "Estonia", there are multiple Slavic cultures east of Wolgast, indeed, the Slavic homeland is east of Wolgast and Arkona. I have no idea why you are talking about Baltics when there are Polish, Belarus, Rus as established political areas, as well as multiple ancient Slavic cultures (ex Przeworsk, Zarubitnsy, Chernyakhov etc) east of Arkona. 99.236.221.124 (talk) 18:17, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I grew up not far from the western end of Northland Drive, and I've never heard 2222 called Bull Creek Road between the Northland/Parkcrest/Highland Crest intersection and Loop 360. Bull Creek Road is a different street altogether, running from Jefferson St. a block north of 35th, up past 45th St., and ending in T-intersection at Hancock Dr. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 19:47, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Jackie Stewart (footballer, born 1921)

message: Is this the same person as Jackie Stewart (football manager)?  I suspect not, but we ought to clarify? PatGallacher 11:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, the thought crossed my mind when I created this stub. My Birmingham City-related book source reckoned Stewart (footballer) left football "to go into business in Cowdenbeath" in 1963. So as I couldn't find any mention of Stewart (manager)'s playing career on the internet, I concluded that although they might be the same person, there was certainly no proof, and it seemed more likely that they weren't. cheers, Struway2 12:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

text: The sources cited do not support the addition of the content "often is association with Dr. Michael Allard", who is unmentioned at those sources. The remainder of the editor's additions simply repeats information already contained in the article and which does not need to be repeated in another location in the same article, and is unencyclopedic in that it contains numerous grammatical and syntactical errors (run-on sentences, "He was published numerous books and journals", etc.). I am therefore opposed to the restoration of the edit. I'd encourage the editor to edit the edition of Wikipedia primarily written in their own language if they are not fluent in English.

Talk:CBCL-FM

message: For the record, the standard on Wikipedia for inclusion of a radio station is not simply being licensed as a separate station; the second criterion that has to be fulfilled is that the station directly produces at least a portion of its own programming schedule in its own studios. Plenty of radio and television stations in both Canada and the United States are nominally separate stations but exist only as rebroadcasters of other stations in actual practice; the convention on Wikipedia is that those are redirected to their programming source. See, frex, Alabama Public Television, an entity which consists of nine individually-licensed stations but offers no schedule variance from one station to the next. I'm not convinced that a local news bureau which provides a few minutes of local news headlines is sufficient for inclusion of a CBC station that doesn't even produce its own local morning show.

message: Even the BBM doesn't recognize CBCL as a separate station - they consider London to receive CBLA.  I don't see the need for this article.  On the Radio Two side, CBBL broadcasts a different identification than CBL-FM, but there's no separate article for CBBL.

We're talking about financial numbers here. There's no need to use something like that- it obscures the meaning for the majority of readers.

But, but, but... the big effect is state allocation through direct support, tuition matching programs, and capitol programs.

message: This is obviously not stub class anymore. However, there are huge amounts of things to consider. Firstly, the plot needs to be vastly trimmed.

(smaller) to fit fair-use criteria, as well as integrated into the article as descriptive images.
