Talk:Roger Manning

message: There are two different people.
*Roger Manning, one of the originators of Anti-folk 
*Roger Joseph Manning Jr. - keyboardist
Links from other pages are related to both, but the content here seems to be related (mostly) to the later.  Both are notable.  I suggest Roger Manning  be made a stub for the Anti-folk hero, and most of this content be moved to Roger Joseph Manning Jr. which currently redirects here.  The keyboardist seems to market himself that way anyhow.  Once this is done I'll also start a disambiguation page to include the fictional character and talk radio host of the same name.  Hell maybe I'll even through in bass player Michael Manring for good measure.
One thing I'm still confused about.  What does this article mean by saying he was "an integral member of Beck?"  Beck Hansen was influenced by the Anti-folk Roger Manning in his early days.  I'm not sure which one is being referenced in the Guero credits for playing the clavinet.  Comments? -MrFizyx 20:38, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

message: This edit concerns me.  
#I am concerned that this edit calls on the authority of WP:OR for a very large edit, but with very little explanation;
#I am concerned that this edit seems to carry on a serious misconception -- that wikipedia policies forbid the use of primary documents.  The wikipedia's policies and guidelines do not forbid the use of primary documents.  It says that if they are used they should be used with care.
#I am concerned that this very large edit has removed direct quotes -- I do not believe a direct quote should ever be described as WP:OR
#I am concerned that this edit excises a whole section that cites the "Classified Record of Proceedings and basis of Administrative Review Board recommendation for ISN 961", without any discussion;

message: This edit's edit summary contained just one word -- "clarify".  
The contributor who made this edit has made essentially the same edit to hundreds of articles.  I have asked them about this change on many occasions.  I am very sorry to report that I do not believe they have ever offered an explanation as to why they think this change is appropriate.
The edit's one word edit summary, "clarify", really concerns me because the contributor who made this edit has used this one word edit summary on hundreds of edits.  They have used it inconsistently.  Some of those edits were mundane, or relatively mundane, but required more informative edit summaries.  I am very sorry to report that some of their edits that carried the one word edit summary "clarify" were actually very highly controversial edits, edits over disputed editorial issues.
I have requested this before, and I repeat this edit one more time.  Because their use of the edit summary "clarify" has been rendered meaningless through over-use, and through inconsistent use for a very broad range of edits, the retire this edit summary and make an effort to use more meaningful edit summaries.

message: User:JeremyA removed the following text:
:== Access to TOPS ==
:For anyone obsessive about trains in Britain, of course, access to the TOPS system is the holy grail; knowing what locomotive is where, what trains it is going to work, that kind of thing. The catch is, of course, that the system is considered company confidential and the information within it is not generally considered available for the general public. 
:Therefore, the best way to get access is to work for a railway company and have access through one's work. The second best is to have a friend in that situation! Care, of course, has always been required; accessing TOPS for personal reasons has, when found out, sometimes resulted in disciplinary action or dismissal, though generally only flagrant violators have been so punished.
I agree with him that the current version was not in an encyclopedic tone or cited/verified, but I believe there's still important info there that should be expressed in some form, so I think it better to leave it here as a note to research and add material.

thread_title:  Fettes, not Eton 

message: There is increasing awareness that psychopathy is a lot more boring and less violent and much more commonplace than previously believed. The article makes no diagnosis of psychopathy, while the IMDB synopsis of the BBC series does assert it. It's central to the character and what we know he does. He dominates everyone in every relationship, including, at least in the traditionalist marrriage sense, if not the sexual sense, his wife. He causes untold misery. He uses people. He kills people. He is power hungry, although I do not believe his politics are feigned to get popularity. I have not read the books, which really define the character, so I don't know if the flashbacks of Mattie, the Cypriots etc. and self-doubt and possibly guilt that we see in the TV series, are in the book. Real guilt would imply that he DOES have a conscience. But his wife always snaps him out of it and tells him he had no choice. --176.253.94.29 (talk) 20:50, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:South Pass (Wyoming)

message: An anonymous editor left the following summary; I provided the correct elevation: 7,412 ft., not 7550. This can be seen to be inconsistent with the USGS Pacific Springs Quad.  That source shows the lowest point to be between the 7520 and 7540 elevation contours. The Rand McNally the Road Atlas Deluxe '03: United States, Canada, & Mexico, , is a published reliable source of the 7550 number. My guess is that 7550 is from the road survey and is likely on the highway sign. Wyoming 28 passes about 500 m southeast of the lowest point. Walter Siegmund (talk) 04:53, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

All of the passes used by L&C in Montana are actually a little lower.  The Native Americans showed them the best route which crosses Rogers Pass 5610 and Lolo Pass 5235.

File talk:Huli wigman.jpg

message: I do not usually add much to the wikipedia, I am simply browsing the featured pictures page. I must comment on the quality of the articles - however I have decided to comment in the discussion page of this photo, as I believe the 'summary' section to be rather sub par.
What is obviously a tribal man of some sort undergoing a dress ritual, is described as 'ugly man with wig', not to mention the spelling mistakes.
Perhaps some small amount of research should be done to create a more accurate and appropriate summary.
