Talk:Southeastern Oregon

message: I suppose Klamath Falls is debatable, based on their own wish not to be thought of as east of the Cascades and instead considered South Central Oregon.  Perhaps South Central Oregon merits a regional page of its own, to include Klamath.  However, in no way is Burns Southern Oregon, nor is Christmas Valley.  Duff 07:48, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Harney Basin is a specific watershed within Harney County.  I've been perusing Oregon Outback also, and think that a consolidation and redirect to that page is quite appropriate for Southeastern Oregon, as the region is most commonly referred to thus.

text: I've always wondered if "Oregon Outback" was dreamed up by the tourism commission. Wouldn't "Southeast Oregon" be the more neutral term? In any case, whichever one it is should be put in the  navbox and it should be made clear in each article how it is different from Harney Basin (which is currently in there).

Talk:Secret Invasion

message: According to Marvel Spotlight: Secret Invasion, the Skrull of The Command was Conquistador, not Siege. Was there another source that named Siege as the infiltrator? I know it doesn't help matters that the one panel in Initiative #19 featuring The Command shows neither Siege nor Conquistador, and whoever the others are fighting looks more like Devil Dinosaur than anything.
Also, Initiative #20 page 2 shows some of the returned abductees in a readjustment session, but there are a couple I don't recognize from the list, namely the purple and blue character between Mockingbird and Thor Girl, and the masked one between Jarvis and Razorback. I'm not sure about the one in the hat on the other side of Jarvis either - Revolutionary? Are these characters that should be added to the list?--207.47.231.27 (talk) 02:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  IMPORTANT MISSING INFORMATION 

message: I came here looking for information on those spiral coin wishing wells, where you drop a coin into a slot and watch it roll in a spiral down a funnel and into a hole, usually for charity. Someone who knows about it needs to write an article about it, even a whole article on its own concerning the math and physics of this device.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.255.60.80 (talk) 14:04, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

message: That wish would then be granted by the guardian or dweller, based upon how the coin would land at the bottom of the well. If the coin landed heads up,etc.
I've never heard this origin, and considering the cited source, a blog containing textual errors, I'm none too confident in it. After the precious possessions were tossed in, they ceased to belong to their original owners in any way; so why should whether the coins fell heads-up or not have any sway over the end result?

Talk:Faro shuffle

message: Why is it called a "faro" shuffle?   Is that a name?  The saint? -- Vonfraginoff 08:04, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Derivation? 

message: This section is a waste of electrons. The only information that it contributes is that the faro shuffle is not a sorting algorithm. But since the point of shuffling is the very opposite of sorting, there is no reason to even think that the faro shuffle is a sorting algorithm. Describe what it is, not what it is not. Then space is wasted by giving not one, not two, but three coded implementations. It is completely baffling what the purpose of this is, but even if there were a purpose, certainly one implementation would be sufficient.
Also, nobody writes "computer science" with a hyphen.

message: Should musical acts be included on this list?  Wayne and Shuster did a number of songs, but they also did mainstream comedy.  I'm considering Bowser and Blue, The Arrogant Worms and Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie.  The inclusion criteria should be a reliable source (preferably here but could be in their main article) which specifically calls them comedian(s). An alternative to removing them from the list could be a separate section for musical acts, but I'm not sure I like that precedent (which could lead to including musical theatre, humorists, writers, etc.). – Reidgreg (talk) 13:43, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

message: I'm taking out the last bit in that paragraph. It's the bit that says 
"The open-ended conclusion leaves open the possibility that he would return to Istanbul to find Ayten staying in his own home - but also that some new chance event would again prevent his finding her. In addition, it may be inferred from the ending that Nejat's father committed suicide in his depression on his fishing trip, and that Nejat, frustrated by his inability to find Ayten, awaits a similar fate on the shore." There is no point speculating as to what had happened to Ali while on a fishing trip, or the rest of them after Nejat returns, is there? Yes, it's open-ended, and that's where it leaves. Speculation isn't really a part of the plot, it's up to the audience to interpret. Polarrrbear (talk) 16:14, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  930事件是穆斯林发动的圣战 

message: The responsibility for the coup is actually a matter of historic debate and interpretation. You have different people arguing on who is responsible. But it there is one certainty, the September 30 movement was made up of a group of mid ranking military officers. However to muddy the waters, you had the British keen to blame it on PKI for their own agenda. Ultimately when you read the article, some argue that the PKI played a significant role in the events leading up to the coup attempt, citing its growing influence and alleged involvement in subversive activities. Others contend that the military and other anti-communist forces used the coup attempt as a pretext to purge the PKI and eliminate political opposition. Ultimately "there is no credible evidence that Sukarno knew about it beforehand, or that the PKI as an organisation or its mass membership were responsible for it". https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/17/slaughter-in-indonesia-britains-secret-propaganda-war So for those constantly not doing research and hastily changing the article into one narrative that's unsourced and unproven.

Talk:A Time of Gifts

message: I happen to have just re-read A Time of Gifts, and looked at the page from curiosity. Having so recently refreshed my memory, I knew that the statement that the book's publication was delayed due to the loss of the author's diaries, eventually rediscovered, wasn't quite correct. Firstly it was a diary, not diaries. Secondly, if anything publication was delayed by the discovery of the diary. He was already writing the book, and revised what he had written in the light of the diary, then mining it extensively for the remaining portions. But the book was being written anyway and would have appeared, though clearly the final result would have been somewhat different. I rewrote the statement to reflect this.

thread_title: Diary

message: I came to this page because I was looking up the two books separately, following the link for each book from the page about the author.  Upon doing that, I became confused when both links came to the same page as each other.  I thought I had done something wrong, and then when I tried again, I thought there was a wrong link in Wikipedia. Then I saw the redirection and the description of the second book lower down as a sort of afterthought.  I believe that the way that this has been done is not satisfactory at present.  If it is the continued clear preference that both books must be covered in the same Wikipedia page (because of their being about two parts of the same journey), they should receive equal billing in the main title - Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water.  This problem is accentuated later on. We have a paragraph starting "In the book" - but which book? - the context seems to suggest it's the second one.  But then the paragraph goes on to talk about Germany, which is in the first book. All this confusion may be appropriate for a PLF book, but probably not for an encylopedia.
