message: I’m doing my best to perform this request correctly. Please forgive me if it’s at all lacking, as I’m not familiar but trying to learn. This is also my declaration COI (Self) 
HELP REQUEST: New Profile Pic - My sincere apologies for not setting out to complete this action correctly before. I’m trying to upload a new one that’s actually taken from the set of one of the projects listed in my credits (Vampire Diaries). Is it possible to offer express permission for someone to please use that new picture, in the leather jacket in place of the blue top? 
Also, if someone can remove The two references in the article that require citation; these two sentences are non-curable or substantiated 
* : “… for Guess and Diane Von Furstenberg.[citation needed]” ALSO “ Williams took part in the recording of "Forever in Our Hearts", a charity single to raise funds for the Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004.[citation needed] “ While there is a You Tube Video showing my participation in the project; I’m not listed on the credits. 
Many thanks and I appreciate anyone who can assist with these requests

Talk:Garmr

message: Lincoln at 97 states garmr is Old Norse for 'dog' used as a proper name & notes related languages; article currently says its Old Norse for 'rag.' Unsure which is correct Deanlaw (talk) 21:56, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Etymology questioned

message: The article says:
: Bruce Lincoln brings together Garmr and the Greek mythological dog Cerberus, deriving both names from a Proto-Indo-European root *ger- "to growl" (perhaps with the suffixes -*m/*b and -*r)[7].
This is highly improbable, since PIE /g/ becomes /k/ in Proto-Germanic and /g/ in Greek, which is the opposite of what is happening here. Not sure how to add this information to the article, though. (Does it count as "original research"?) 189.27.237.141 (talk) 08:03, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, the being Hel rules over the underworld with the same name. Just like Hades who rules over the underworld with the same name. This can't be a coincidence.

replies: text: *gʰ yields *g in Proto-Germanic but χ (kh) in Greek, so that helps not at all. And why can't Hel and Hades be a coincidence? Moreover, they only have one letter in common anyway.Linguoboy (talk) 14:31, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I was the one who noted the show having been booed by audience members in Toronto. I added it when I was still a rather novice Wikipedian.

replies: text: Except what I witnessed was at a major event that was covered by the media, and I vaguely recall there being some mention of it. Unfortunately there is no apparent online source that has survived since 1999. This isn't OR in any event. OR is making a conclusion and or providing evidentiary information regarding a topic that has no precedent (i.e. brand new information). Reporting that he was booed at a performance is in no way OR because the act of booing provided no new information. In a similar way, reports in the Sheena Easton article that she was booed during a show don't really qualify as OR either. 23skidoo 04:18, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Question 

message: The band is called Vast and it does not stand for Visual Audio Sensory Theater as far as I understand it, that is just the title of their first album. Someone ought to correct that. As I have seen it, in writing (in the booklet for the Turquoise/Crimson double EP) Crosby spells it Vast. --chewbacca1010
I'd have to disagree; if you visit the official website, and enter the site (the flash-driven section, which includes all the content) the page source (and hence the browser's title bar) includes the "VAST - Visual Audio Sensory Theater" phrase within title brackets.  VAST is the short form, but it is definitely an acronym for the full name of the band.  - Lakmiseiru 07:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Individuated Hobbit

message: The two sources cited are both brief mentions in works on other topics, not thorough reviews. The fact that no Tolkien scholar has seen fit to review the book, or even analyse it in depth, says that the book is not independently notable. It gets a brief mention (to say that one of its claims is wrong) in the section on Pia Skogemann's analysis in Psychological journeys of Middle-earth (that doesn't make it notable either), so rather than hanging a "Notability" tag on this sorry stub for the next ten years, I'll simply redirect there now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:54, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Contested. Tolkien scholar Thomas Honegger called it "the unsurpassed standard work on the subject" (2019). This is a direct assertion of notability. Notability does not require the work to be entirely about the topic, and direct assertions like this are indications of notability. Use AfD if you really must. --  GreenC 16:37, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Notability requires more than passing mentions; it also requires multiple sources with substantial coverage, where multiple is generally taken as at least three, and even that is a minimum. Currently we have zero substantial sources, so AfD it is. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:26, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm stationed in Brooklyn, and I take the subway a lot. Sometimes there's a tension in the air, so I breathe in the tension, seeing it as a dark, cold, oily cloud, allow it to be transformed by my heart into a warm mist of healing light, then breathe out comfort, ease and joy.

There's no mention of "Eight Verses" elsewhere in the article, and no article so named. It probably refers to this, in Langri Tangpa:

Granted "woodwinds" do not appear as a single category in Hornbostel-Sachs (instead there are "flutes", and "reed instruments"), and the Hornbostel-Sachs names can be confusing (e.g. they use "clarinets" to mean single reed instruments, so a saxophone is categorized as a "clarinet, conical bore".

There is also a narrow sandy plain (where the EBO lies) between part of the southern boundary of the Nullarbor and the Bight. There is no contradiction. Maias (talk) 01:21, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

text: for mitch and maias, I tend to think of the average geographically challenged reader and or editor - the broad terms for both entities should allow for the issue - leave the fine point out, the broader brush is that even the sense of what constitutes 'the nullarbor', or the 'bight' are fluid in probably 80% of the people who use and or exist within those spaces, it is only surveyors or cartographers to split hairs where the border exists, we are contributors to an encyclopedia, I should say our +/- room for 'fuzzy' boundaries is wide enough to not agonise on the boundary.   I would suggest in this case, we make an allowance for the quite fluid 'mental geography' of those who travel through. Just a suggestion though. satusuro 04:27, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
