message: According to the article, al-Rehaeif went to work for the Livingston Group in 2003.  He is not currently listed on their website (http://www.livingstongroupdc.com/corporateoverview/team.html).  Does this mean that he doesn't work there anymore, or perhaps he is low enough in the organization that he isn't listed on the "team" page?  --rogerd (talk) 15:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Not sure precisely where policy lies on this one; the article was created in 2005 with a Geocities source archived which supports the word artist. There's also a Facebook link in the history  which, while unreliable, would technically be sufficient to forestall BLP-prod. I'm leaning towards AfD being more appropriate here given the complex history and multiple claims present in earlier versions. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:44, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dikes 

message: In the first paragraph after explaining "Diagonal pliers" the following statement can be read: "Commonly confused with side cutting pliers." I was not aware that there was a difference between side cutters and diagonal cutters, and after spending a few minutes googling the subject I could not find anything that differentiated the two. Hence I suggest that this sentence is removed and "side cutting pliers" is added to the list of alternative names for diagonal cutters.

message: I am pushing 70 and retired from the automobile manufacturing industry, before that I maintained commercial properties (offices, labs, apartment buildings and manufacturing buildings). I have had to make a few tools but I won't claim to be a 'Toolmaker'. I consider myself to be mechanically gifted and an avid tool collector.
In my experience I have never met anyone in any "Hands on" profession who has ever referred to a a pair of 'dikes' as a pair of 'diagonal pliers'
The formally (or fussy) acquaintances have on occasion referred to them as 'diagonal cutters'
Also, I would be no more inclined to use this term than I would be to refer to a pair of 'dikes' as a pair of 'diagonal screwdrivers'.
Does anyone know of an argument supporting the use of 'pliers' in this? --Opinionated Old Phart (talk) 05:04, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Friedrich Graf Kleist von Nollendorf

message: "Before the August 1919 abolition of nobility as a legal class, titles preceded the full name when given (Graf Helmuth James von Moltke). Since 1919, these titles, along with any nobiliary prefix (von, zu, etc.), can be used, but are regarded as a dependent part of the surname, and thus come after any given names (Helmuth James Graf von Moltke)." Von Kleist died in 1823, so why is the post-1919 convention used for his name? 104.153.40.58 (talk) 17:44, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Distance from South Georgia 

message: I think the "research history and naming" section of this GA needs some improvement. Firstly it doesn't really explain why this island is named "Zavodovski" - is it named after the same person as Zavadovskiy Island linked in the hatnote? Assuming it's named after someone Russian, claiming that there is a "correct spelling" of this name in the Latin alphabet is problematic, the correct spelling is presumably Заводовский or Завадовский, which can be transliterated in many ways in languages that use the Latin alphabet. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 11:05, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Descriptions of the novels

message: Lines like "the so called war on terrorism" (are we not supposed to call things what they are?) or "the USA connivance and incitements to continue the heinous course of the war" (Really?  Who wrote this, Bin Laden himself?) and the best one of all: "the discriminatory and the holier-than-thou attitude of American towards the third world war has boiled the blood of the people and has raised them to fury and rebellion."  That one doesn't even have anything to do with the novel directly.  This is supposed to be Wikipedia--a source of factual information--not a Rage Against The Machine concert.  Not to mention none of this belongs on the page about the author.  Information specific to the novel should be put on that page.  I'm deleting this entire bunch of garbage.  It's beyond even fixing, something else just needs to be written that is NPOV and factual, not a bunch of radical propaganda. Nominahorn (talk) 01:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Goguryeo/Archive 5

message: I think Nlu's theory on primary source does have some sense here, but there comes my question. A Eupatorium or the title carved on the tomb is usually carved by the family or the government (if he is a celebrity). What do you say about it, primary source? Secondary source? We might get this info from a book that record the words on the tomb, then it is secondary source, and it is definitely not OR. But can you say a tomb hundreds years ago is WP:OR? I do not think so, otherwise, no body can do any historian research anymore, a fissile,WP:OR; a ruin WP:OR. What do you say? 
BTW, I am pretty ashamed for myself and all Korean and Chinese here, while Japanese denied the comfort women, Korean and Chinese should join force to fight the real evil things, but we did was wasting time here biting each other, and the military nationalists  are watching and laughing.--Yeahsoo 00:29, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Sidney Lumet

message: I thought I would take a minute to explain to you why I have introduced changes to this template. One reason for changing the templates is to improve accessibility for visually impaired users using a screen reader. Whenever a screen reader encounters a dot, it calls out the word "dot". The material presents as a lot of tiny disjointed paragraphs rather than a list. With the new mark-up, the screen reader will announce that a list is coming, and then will proceed to read out the items on the list. Application of the hlist class is about presenting the material as actual lists, which helps not just people with vision issues, but those viewing the site using phones and other non-traditional devices. Search engines also will read lists better.The use of the dots is now deprecated, and have been since August. Each dot requires the application of a template, and templates are expensive, as they increase server load. There are limits as to how many templates can be placed on a page. Application of the latest method, using listclasses and bodyclasses to create the lists, results in a reduction in post-expand include size of 33% and a reduction in template argument size of 48% on this template. This is a substantial improvement that will lead to quicker load times for pages and a better experience for our viewing audience.The transition has not been trouble free; some kinks have had to be ironed out, and there may still be a ways to go. However, we have the templates displaying adequately in the two latest versions of the problematic Internet Explorer (IE8 and IE9),  and we can't hold back development of Wikipedia for older, buggy browsers. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, --Dianna (talk) 19:36, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

message: During the great famine of Bundelkhand in the year 1865, Babu Prasanna Chandra Chatterjee son of Babu Har Chandra Chatterjee, a Govt. Pensioner who happened to be the first Bengalee settled in Jhansi distributed charities to the sufferers. For this noble work he was awarded a certificate on behalf of Queen Victoria in the year 1897. That certificate was signed by then Lieutinant Governor of Oudh and Agra, Antony Pattrick MacDonnell. Latter the Bengalees of Jhansi started a high School in his name, MacDonnell High School in Jhansi.
