Talk:Wumpa Islands

message: If the Wumpa Islands article is going to be deleted, then the Mushroom Kingdom article, the Mobius article, hell even the Spira article (which only appeared in two games) can be deleted along with it. Like the former two mentioned articles, the article is about a main setting that has appeared in numerous installments of a highly popular series (The Crash Bandicoot series has sold 34 million copies), which makes deleting this article highly absurd. If this article is deleted, it will only prove that Wikipedians are biased against mascot games, and that wouldn't be very good for Wikipedia's image, now would it? Take this into consideration before anyone deletes this article. Cat's Tuxedo 18:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Don't delete the article 

message: Seeing as this will result in ridiculous revert war without proper discussion, we might as well discuss it. I think this should be merged into Criticism of Wikipedia#Systemic bias in coverage.
Rationale:
#The article fits much better in a full context
#This article is about a neologism, and there are a not-insignificant number of editors who think it is not a notable neologism to begin with
#This article is short, and the only way to lengthen it would be via fluff, trivia, or original research.
#This topic is pretty much an exact duplicate of Criticism of Wikipedia#Systemic bias in coverage, with minor details about origin.
#A significant number of editors suggested a merger.
#The article was linked from a high-traffic site while it was still on Articles for Deletion, causing probable vote-stacking or meatpuppetry.--Wafulz 22:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Madagascan Dwarf Hippopotamus

message: I've been reading about Madagascan Hippos hoping to improve these articles.  I've noticed, however, that there's relatively little consensus regarding classification of the different fossils.  Some scientists argue that there are as many as four different species; some believe just one.  I'm wondering if it might not be best to have one article on Madagascan Hippopotamus that discusses the different subspecies all in one place?  Also, I really want to add information from this fascinating paper which isn't species specific, but I don't even know which article to add it to because it's not species specific:
Not sure if anyone is even watching these articles, but if nobody objects, I think I might start an article at Madagascan Hippopotamus. --JayHenry 18:57, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I created a page at Malagasy Hippopotamus.  It does a much better job of incorporating the information here, and at Madagascan Pygmy Hippopotamus because so much of the relevant information about Malagasy Hippos applies to either species.  I'd like to redirect this page to Malagasy Hippo.  I think it's an uncontroversial merge, and if I don't hear from anyone in a couple days I'll just go ahead and do it, because it can easily be undone. --JayHenry 20:53, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Talk:F. Murray Abraham syndrome

message: I've never heard of anything called the "F. Murray Abraham syndrome". If anything, it's called the "Oscar Curse" and started with Luise Rainer's back-to-back wins in 1937-1938. The article even references many actors who won the award decades prior to Abraham. I believe this topic is mistitled.
: It sounds so good, though. Of the two external links, however, one is dead and the other only references this article. A good topic though, whatever it's meant to be called. But looks like it should be for the chop. DionysosProteus 19:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Church of the Holy Name of Jesus, Manchester

message: Sentences like "The mysteries of the Transubstantiation are never revealed to the congregation," or "The Priest had his back to the congregation throughout most of the service and the mysteries of the mass were concealed from the congregation." used to describe the Latin Mass represent a polemical point of view not held by Holy Name, or the Church for that matter, and comprimise the neutrality of this article.
Given their combative nature, it would be better to post such things in a article detailing opposition to the Latin Mass than here.
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.141.34 (talk • contribs) 2007-06-17
They are just facts. If you want to be pedantic, I can find very harsher descriptions of mass. My two sentences are observations. Many catholics feel that the latin mass is abhorrant and I strictly NPOV says I shoud have mentioned those too.
I attend that mass every week, and am very aware of critism. We should balance the latin mass paragraph or delete it completely. Sentences like "The mysteries of the Transubstantiation are never revealed to the congregation," are a matter of fact and date back to canon law. Mike33 21:33, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:1979–80 in English football

message: The report on Division I says Chelsea secured Danny Blanchflower's first win on 19th January 1980 when they beat Man City away. However, we (Chelsea) were in Division II under Geoff Hurst in 79/80. Our win at City under Danny came in Div 1 on 20th January 1979 in the 78/79 season. 
The report also says 35 Games were called off that day. This needs to be researched as I believe the 79/80 winter was fairly warm compared to the 78/79 winter when many games were postponed. I remember 78/79 as Chelsea only played 2 league games in 55 days (Jan/Feb).
I suggest somebody checks the facts in this article.

message: There seems to be some confusion as to when the "World's Championship Burro Race" was held. Some sources, including the Beatty Museum and Historical Society, lists the race as being on Armistice Day. (Link). However, this book on the burro says September. (Link) As well, multiple physical items up for online auction feature September as the event date. (Example 1, Example 2)
Both examples with a September date correspond with a Labor Day weekend event. Which makes more sense from a weather and tourism perspective. My assumption is that the event was held over Labor Day weekend, but at some point someone mis-printed "Armistice Day", which stuck. I am not familiar enough with Wikipedia to know how to reconcile the discrepancies, so I put this here. Rrakoczy (talk) 21:09, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for going to the trouble of tracking these sources down and for adding the burro races to the article. I'm inclined to agree with you that the weather would be more conducive to attracting visitors in September than November and that the Armistice Day wording is probably a mistake. Since we don't know for sure and since the issue is minor, we could hedge by eliminating any mention of which month the races were held.
