Talk:Fayray

message: Is there a Wikipedia standard for discographies?  As you can see, there's a huge variation among entries listed for this article.
Capitalization: some have the first word capitalized (Baby if); some have all words capitalized (Sukidanante Inea); some have all letters capitalized (MY EYES); some have no words capitalized (look into my eyes).
Quoting: some (the singles) all have quotes around the titles; the albums and DVDs do not.  Is there a basis for this inconsistency?
Italicization: Album and DVD titles are italicized; singles are not.  Any principle here, or is this just how it ended up?
I'm happy to clean this up if there's a standard (or even if not). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.171.40.13 (talk) 17:34, January 26, 2006
* About capitalization: This has nothing to do with standards, these are the names of the songs/albums. Many Japanese artists vary their capitalization a lot. And remember to sign your posts using four tildes.  =) DJLarZ 21:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ceylon in World War II

message: I advocate referring to the modern successor to the British Commonwealth (since 1949) as the Commonwealth or the Commonwealth of Nations, which is the name they have chosen.  However during the entire period of World War II, it was known as the British Commonwealth, so I propose that this page should be moved to a new title "Participation of Commonwealth nations in World War II" or "Participation of British Commonwealth nations in World War II" or "Participation of the British Commonwealth in World War II".

Talk:Adon (Street Fighter)

message: Reverted appearance, rearranged. I see where you're coming from, but the picture doesn't explain the nature of his outfit, ie the sacred bands. (Anyone know the Thai name for those?) Moreover, Chun-Li has had a large "appearance" section for a long time, and no one has removed it. I believe the consensus is that her appearance senction is not undesirable, even if it is somewhat redundant. The explanation of the exotic clothing articles is key. And personally, I think it's nicer to have the info in sections rather than having it all forced into trivia. Nawara Ven 00:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Chun Li has a appearence section becaause it is based off real life attire and she recieves a new outfit in Alpha. And it still doesn't warrent a whole section; merge it alll into the trivia section. -ZeroTalk 03:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The traditional Thai sacred bands are also based on real life attire, as seen in the "sources" link. He recieves a new face and hair in Alpha. I think that organizing info into whole sections makes it easier to acccess, otherwise the reader must go though the entire article for relevant information. Please make edits or additions, but I believe that more information in any given area is preferable, especially in an article this brief. Nawara Ven 03:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

The right hand table contains an "Alumni" spot, and someone filled in a number in the 8,XXX's... why?  Westminister graduates that many students per decade--that figure puzzles me.  While everyone who graduates from a school may go on to lead the best life that they can, I think that we need to keep "Notable Alumni" more... Notable.

message: Actually, the complete name of the plane is Fokker F-100 Mk 28. In Peru, they were known as Fokker F-28 when flown by previous Flag carrier Aeroperu, and Ocean Air is using the name Fokker Mk 28 for marketing reasons after the problems that the plane had in Brazil when it was used by TAM under the name Fokker F-100. Therefore, we are talking about the same plane used by American Airlines, just using a different designation.

Talk:List of Brussels Metro stations

message: I suggest we move this page to List of underground stations in Brussels. Julien Tuerlinckx 14:04, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. The page title should be consistent with the others in :Category:Lists of metro stations. So List of Brussels metro stations would be ideal. Or alternatively List of Brussels metro and pre-metro stations (following the conventions of the Berlin and Baltimore names). Calling it underground (instead of metro) would be confusing. --David Edgar 15:02, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge

message: For some unknown reason, Maelbeek/Maalbeek station and Arts-Loi/Kunst-Wet station are the only ones of the Brussels metro where the Dutch names ("Maalbeek" and "Kunst-Wet")are written before the French ones ("Maelbeek" and "Arts-Loi"). As a reminder, Maelbeek metro station is now (unfortunately!) famous because of Brussels terrorist attacks, and Arts-Loi is the most frequented station of the network: those two stations are therefore the most "famous" stations of the Brussels metro network.
Surprisingly, the changes in the names happened a few days ago, both made by one user. The same user edited the 2016 Brussels bombings article to make sure only the Dutch name "Maalbeek" appears in the article.
Is there any discussion somewhere about the name convention for the Brussels metro station names? As for all the other station the "French name/Dutch name" convention is used, shouldn't we standardize it that way?

The Ahrensburg roamed in Denmark and Southern Sweden from around 10,500 BCE and when the pre-Boreal began around 9,500 BCE, they settled the rest of Scandinavia as well.

Talk:For Want of a Nail (novel)

message: Although it is widely believed that For Want of a Nail cites a handful of real pre-POD works, multiple close readings of the book by members of the "For All Nails" project at soc.history.what-if failed to locate any.

Specifically, the ownership of Northern Quebec and the locations of the state boundaries in the USM? (Arizona for example is in a completely different place.)
:The map of North America on the For All Nails website was modified by the members of the FAN Cabal to make the boundaries more historically realistic.

Talk:Pigeon House Mountain

message: I've got a photo which I'll put on sometime--CharlieP 01:48, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: A note

message: Given that the name of the mountain has been Didthul for presumably thousands of years longer than it's been Pigeon House Mountain, is it worth renaming this article to reflect that fact? I'm unfamiliar with wiki policy on these things but NSW National Parks appears to have updated their terminology to call it Pigeon House Mountain Didthul, which to me is a compromise but seems like a good place to start.
Additionally, I think the etymology desperately needs updating; 'Aboriginal' is not a language, any more than is 'European' or 'Native American'. There are hundreds of Australian Aboriginal languages, and the language of the country which Didthul is a part of is Yuin. Someone with more experience or expertise in the history of the area might have a better idea but as far as I can see the description of Didthul as the 'Aboriginal' name for the mountain is woefully inadequate.

message: During the summer of 2023, this article became 10x larger, and now contains a waterfall of intriguing, beguiling algebraic relationships. It's all very nice, but is there some geometric interpretation to all of this? I've encountered such waterfalls before, and it makes me wonder. For example, pick a Lie algebra, any one will do. Say, su(3). Pick a unit vector v in it. Write down exp(v). You will get a waterfall of relationships, each more stunning, and stunningly opaque, than the one before, all of them resembling the contents of this article. And for what? One is just lost in the bowels of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula; but su(3) has a geometric interpretation and exp(x) has a geometric interpretation that are somehow "clear" in a way that the waterfall is not. Besides saying "its all ellipses", is there some easier way of stating what these new additions are all about? 67.198.37.16 (talk) 02:39, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

message: The reason I made the page into a disambiguation one was that I found a link to it from Trolling motor - the person who wrote that probably did not think that there was any other significant type of trolling. I'd prefer to err on the side of disambiguation. Having a link from "Internet Troll" to "trolling for fish" seems a bit more odd than having the disambig page for "trolling".
Most of the links to "trolling" on its own are now from "talk" pages, it seems. Your thoughts? --Alvestrand 01:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
