text: I concur with the removal of the Rfc header in this edit, due to the failure to observe WP:RFCBEFORE. (The improper formulation of the Rfc question is secondary, but applies if you ever decide to create another Rfc.) This is simply a normal discussion, with normal responses, and actually has been definitively answered already, per Popcornfud. Egarrett01, if you wish to remove the phrases you find offensive, please state a policy- or guideline-based reason for it. Otherwise, if it's just a personal preference, I think we are done here.

Talk:HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I

message: Hello. I think we should remove Colombia's sales based on this reference. Article it's from June 10 and this album was released on June 20. But the most important part, is where author is talking about Sony Music's people "expecting to sell 150,000" in Colombia with this album. In other words, those aren't it final HIStory sales there and aren't even the shipment copies, is just future predictions. Maybe this information could be transfer to the commercial performance, but surely showing those sales in the current section isn't accurate. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 08:18, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Train (disambiguation)

message: * A train is also a term used in MMORPGs to describe a situation where a player or group of players has engaged a high number of enemies and is fleeing the area, creating a long chain of enemies chasing after them.

Talk:Mind

message: As part of the Core Contest, I was thinking about implementing changes to this article with the hope of moving it in the direction of GA status. There is still a lot to do since many paragraphs and several sections lack sources and the article has various maintenance tags (5x More citations needed, 1x need quotation to verify, 2x citation needed). The article has some WP:DUEWEIGHT issues, like having 7 paragraphs on Buddhism while a single paragraph is used to cover all the remaining religions together. This also applies to the focus on pseudoscience, like the lead image from phrenology and a main section on parapsychology.
Another problem to address is overlaps where different sections restate the same ideas, such as the sections "Relation to the brain" and "Relation to the body". The term "mental faculties" was common in early psychology but not today and our corresponding subsection not only lacks sources but does not mention various key topics, like perception, emotion, motivation, learning, and attention. The more recent idea of modularity and mental modules should also be discussed rather than just providing a wikilink. We currently have a section on the evolution of mind in the course of history but the article does not discuss how the mind of individuals develops from childhood to old age. The fields studying the mind are discussed but there is little on the great variety of research methodologies employed. Since different fields have different methods, this could be included in the section "Scientific study" while renaming it to "Fields and methods of inquiry". It will be a challenge to include these ideas without increasing the article's length too much so some existing sections may need to be summarized to keep the article concise.
Various smaller adjustments are needed but they can be addressed later since the ones mentioned so far will already involve a lot of work to implement. I was hoping to get some feedback on these ideas and possibly other suggestions. I still have to do some research to work out the details. After that, I would start implementing them one at a time but it will probably take a while to address all the points. Phlsph7 (talk) 16:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I will say that in my opinion, the lead image would need to be replaced for any GA or FA. We should not put that much emphasis on a discredited theory. QuicoleJR (talk) 01:43, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, the phrenology image has to go, I removed it. I'm not sure that there is a good representative depiction of the mind as an alternative. I had a look at  and  but they are also far from ideal. Lead images are not required so having no image may be better than having a problematic or non-representative image.

Talk:Islam/Archive 2

message: Ibn Warraq's views should not be censored! These pages are labeled TALK and all discussion and debate should be allowed whether cerain Muslims disagree or not.
Muslims should NOT be given special preferences.
On the Christianity page, Christians aren't being given the same consideration the Islam page getting!  On the Christian page they even have Jewish NON Christian views!  The Islam page appears to have been done only by a Muslim whereas this doesn't appear to be the same situation on the Christian pages.
This is NOT a country where alternate views aren't allowed and Muslims should NOT be allowed to censor out alternate beliefs or expressions they don't like.
If Muslims get to censor their Islam page, as a Christian I demand the same ability to censor the Christian page.
This problem is hardly limited to this article. You may fairly say that the Islam article is written  from a postitive point of view (with one paragraph with a bit of negative information) but one may also say the Israel article is also written that way with the Palestinian article an extremely negative article with a lot of crap about how there is not any such people. Such articles represent the focus of attention of partisan advocates on a particular area with the article being the outcome of struggle rather than any objective scholarly process. However the solution is not to make the Christian article the same sort of one sided production but to patiently improve those articles which have been "captured" by partisans.

Talk:Elizabeth the Queen Mother

message: See also Talk:Elizabeth_Bowes-Lyon
Jiang, I think you may have missed the sequence of events when you moved this article back to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.  It was a new article that someone had just created because they knew they couldn't move it back to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother -- but it should always have been a disambiguation page.  Rather than try moving everything around again, I have replaced it with an explanation. Deb 17:05, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: This duplicates Elizabeth the Queen Mother (disambiguation). Either we have this redirect to Elizabeth_Bowes-Lyon (as is common practice now to redirect to the most common usage) and keep the separate disambiguation page, or we move the da page here. I suggest the former, so I will redirect this to Elizabeth_Bowes-Lyon. Otherwise, Elizabeth the Queen Mother (disambiguation) needs to be moved here.--Jiang 00:15, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
