Talk:Virgil of Salzburg

message: Is this the "Virgilius" mentioned in Paine's Age of Reason?
"And prior to that time Virgilius was condemned to be burned for asserting the antipodes, or in other words, that the earth was a globe, and habitable in every part where there was land; yet the truth of this is now too well known even to be told."
There is some commentary about this passage on the Project Gutenberg version of Age of Reason,https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/3743/pg3743-images.html which discusses the background on Paine's confusion. Is it worth mentioning in this article? That passage is what brought me here to answer the questions it stirred up. There ought to at least me a mention under "Arts & Culture." If his execution was a widespread myth in Paine's time, that is interesting in and of itself. But I don't feel enough expert in the matter to decide or do the write-up. Thanks!

Talk:Mainchín of Limerick

message: I have come across this claim too, especially in the 19th century, but found it mostly ignored by later authors. Obviously any claims made by the Dál gCais to a lineage are immediately suspect. Suspiciously Mainchín is attached to the Uí Bloit, from whom the O'Briens claimed they sprung, if I remember correctly. So it's pretty easy to conclude he was lifted from the Uí Fidgenti and given a false pedigree. DinDraithou (talk) 14:20, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The claim lacks a clear historical context in the extremely brief entry which is given in the ODNB article (used here), so it doesn't make terribly clear why it is notable. But rest assured it doesn't say in any way that the claim should be accepted as historically true. Of course I cannot simply write that he was originally an Uí Fidgenti saint when I'm unaware of any sources which say so. Of course feel free to expand if you are.

message: When compiling the list of users on Wikipedia:Probation I noticed that Guy Montag's probation is only on articles related to the Israeli/Palestine conflict, not a general probation. The proposed decision, as it stands, has him banned from these articles for a year, and the probation extended for a year. In effect this means the probation extension is overtaken by the topic ban. Is this correct? Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 22:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's right. It is effectively moot. If he becomes disruptive outside we would consider extending it to full probation (note that "general probation" has been used as a different remedy, where the offender can be banned from Wikipedia, not articles, by administrators, so I think using "full probation" in this case is clearer).

The form and content of the article are rather fit for a web page not an encyclopedia. Kpjas 06:25, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It looks like the references section may be just the result of a medline search.  Could probably use some editing to cut it down to just a few good references (those used in the article, plus some background reading).  
The article also seems to lack connection to pre-conception care.  Things like folic acid, etc.  Needs better (more focused) connection to other articles about related topics (e.g. pregnancy, genetic risk factors, ...). Zodon (talk) 03:24, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Indeed, what's so special about any of the ratios?  I believe it was I who added the Tschichold quote; my intention was to make it clear what bullshit he was going on about, saying that some books have these intentional ratios, and some don't.  This whole article is largely non-notable BS, in my opinion, though most of the pieces of it are well described and well sourced.  I created the article as an alternative to the many articles that Jossi was creating on the separate Canons, as a way to centralize the fight against the non-notable BS, mysticism, and mis-representation of sources that was developing around these.  I found and purchased copies of all the sources, and even had some translated, so I could debunk what he was going on about (this about 3 years ago).  I find it highly amusing that this article has made to GA status and passed review, given that there's not a single source to establish the notability of "canons of page construction" as a topic even.  Oh, well, it's better that some. Dicklyon (talk) 05:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:1995 Australian Grand Prix

message: This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it.  Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed.

It doesn't seem balanced. It mostly covers excessive detail on a brawl during a game against France in 1990, and his tidiness when travelling. Frankly, it reads as rather petty and overblown.
