Talk:Premaloka

message: This article has some serious issues in tone. Puffery and colloquialisms are used pervasively throughout the article. I've pointed out some obvious ones with inline tags. In particular, the second paragraph of the lead section is very poorly written - it it composed mostly of opinion and even uses the first person at one point.
I'd be bold and fix it myself, but I think the problem lies much deeper than that. Not only is the article completely devoid of citations, it is also greatly lacking in material formatted as factual statements rather than opinion. For this reason, I (for the moment) have avoided following the usual rule of outright deleting material that can't be sourced, as that would cut down the article length by at least 75 percent. As a novice editor, I'm wary of doing this. Also, I think a rewrite is in order, which I'm not confident in my ability to do. Therefore I think this article needs the attention of somebody with more experience than me. Paulwe2 (talk) 00:03, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is coming along excellently! I had a quick look and noticed that there are more citations, which is good. I added some section templates to point out where work is still needed. Sorry for tagging and running, but I don't really have the time or knowledge to fix this at the moment.

message: The article states that the town "used chemical weapons". This is currently controversial. The US and UK governments appear to think that the al-Assad regime used chemical weapons in their attack, whereas the Kremlin appears to think that conventional weapons were used against a rebel chemical weapons facility, triggering a release of sarin gas.

Talk:University of Pereslavl

message: Text recently added to this article seems to be English translation of article in ru-wiki. Wikis are not RS. The Russian wiki article cites some sources in Russian. I have not found any RS in English about this university, which seems to have closed in 2018. I am leaving the text in the article on the principle "better something than nothing" but adding a warning at the top of the page. Feel free to enact your own better decision. HouseOfChange (talk) 14:55, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing as this is probably one of the few actual useful contributions of our now-banned fellow, I figured it could be worth it to try and improve the article a bit, so I added some of the sources from ru wiki that I could verify plus a few I could find myself. Not all are great, mind you, as they are largely local media and one is even an official booklet published by the university (only used to identify university staff, though). However, since it's entirely uncontroversial content, it shouldn't make much of a difference. I took the liberty of removing the OR tag as well, hopefully you won't have an issue with that. Cheers.

message: Babel was poet, not historian. His diary is full of contradictions, it is not credible source. According to

Яковлевым подготовил покушение на полпреда СССР в Польше П. Л. Войкова, которое должно было стать актом возмездия за участие Войкова в расстреле царской семьи и вообще за красный террор. 7 июня 1927 года Борис Коверда выстрелил в Войкова, в результате чего полпред скончался.

Talk:Valery Chkalov

message: I would recommend the deletion of the entire section on the cult of the pilot. It's long, rambling, and veers very far from Chkalov himself. It also seems to draw heavily from only a couple of sources and feels like it may involve original research. The material might be better served in a separate article on pilots in Soviet culture. When I searched "Soviet cult of the pilot," this article was the first thing to come up suggesting this isn't a particularly significant topic. Wanted to check in here before deleting a large section in case anyone disagrees.

Talk:Anderson v. Mt. Clemens Pottery Co.

message: Observation from working at the pottery in the late 1970s and early 1980s.  Many older employees who worked there during the A vs MCP era were paid per piece back in the 30s and 40s. Devades later, they still came in an hour before they could punch in and sit on the long benches that lined the walls before the time-clock.  Their podition on those old bemches ensured they would be the first to punch-in and walk to their workstations several minutes before the later-arriving, back of the line, newer workers had their turn to punch in.  Those extra minutes during the old piecemeal days meant a lot during that by-gone era.  Although by the 70s, that era was long gone.  Old habits die hard!

Talk:Vladimir Begun

message: Hallo! I must admit that your edits  and  completely useless and uncorrect.
* to you in russian:
:Владимир Бегун был был канд.филос.наук и ст.н.с. в институте марксистско-ленинской философии и права АН БССР и одновременнно членом Союза журналистов СССР. Эти позиции подразумевают, что он как минимум должен был быть членом КПСС. Для еврея - тем более. Бегун как комунист - марксистско-ленинский "философоф", "идеологический боец Партии" был призван служить официальной государственной коммунистической пропаганде. В послевоенную (после 2WW) эпоху она к тому же была якрко-антисемитской и анти-израильской.
:Книги Владимира Бегуна "Вторжение без оружия" и другие официально рекомендовали профессора и доценты (преподаватели-лекторы) студентам государственных университетов на лекциях по современной истории и политике. То есть печатные труды Бегуна входили в реестр допущенной и рекомендованной официальной идеологией и цензурой (ГлавЛит) политической литературы. Это были единственные по этому предмету книги, имевшие к тому же автора-еврея и написанные в жанре конспирологии.

message: It has been revealed recently that in the manga, the character we associate with valcuria is named Valkyrie. however, to keep with consistency of this article, the name should not be changed to reflect the manga. the reason for this is that all other terms in this article would have to be changed to reflect the manga. this would lead to inconsistencies when people watch this OVA and find strange spellings for the characters, etc. since this article is about the out of control OVA, the spellings should reflect the spellings used in the OVA. Drag-5 (talk) 16:38, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Valcuria

message: I'm writing to explain the full reasoning behind my recent undo, I realise it was rather extreme, but i felt there was too much to address and also, the recent edit felt excessive. the amount of information added to the article was unneeded in my opinion and went into too much detail going over a story that is already documented in the main article of the manga. the main synopsis could be changed,but what it was changed to was rather bloated. aside from that, in the same edit, the image was broken and the link to the manga was changed to the tv series for some reason. this is obviously extremely wrong since the tv series was made in 2005 and this was made in 1986. some of the changes were perhaps beneficial, but i have seen this article changed from OVA to animation to film, and now in this recent edit it was changed back to OVA. so i feel it is best to talk that out first before changing it again.
