message: Today, I have received a deletion warning regarding this article on my talk page. It says that if I do not make changes to correctly stress notability, that this article may be deleted in 1-2 days. Interestingly enough, there is currently no tag for speedy deletion or article for deletion on the page.
First of all, I do not work well under deadlines (i.e. "1-2 days"). Second, this article was changed radically from when I first created it, featuring text which appears to me to be from a source which I have no access to. Whoever has decided to commandeer this article has more ability to make this article codeworthy than me, so I am writing this message to inform everyone reading this, in case anyone feels capable of saving this article. Without this message, this article will probably disappear without anyone with an interest in this subject matter being aware of it. Good luck. Siyavash 21:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tamal Krishna Goswami

message: It's not vandalism to correctly label references. It's not vandalism to remove irrelevant links from the external links section and clean the external links section up.
And finally it's not vandalism to remove the now much reduced (by your hands) section on Mohini-lila, as it's not particularly useful (we could write thousands of sections on every lecture series TKG ever gave). So please don't revert my edits and work in improving the article. Thanks Chopper Dave
In TKG's lectures on Bhagavata Purana (http://tkgtm.com/tapes/sb.htm) there are 7 lectures.  The Mysterious Pastimes of Mohini-murti is a notable commentary on Bhagavata Purana.  And hey, lighten up a bit.  Thanks.   Bhaktivonode
This Mohini-lila sections of this article references a notable teaching of TKG.  Yet TKG aside, the inclusion of his commentary on Mohini-lila can also stands on it being the only known commentary (on Mohini-lila).  For this reason alone it is notable!
This aside,the commentary's engagement of traditional gender views is exemplary of attitudes within orthodox Vaishnavism.  Thanks.  Bhaktivonode
:I've moved the link to the newly created main article (The Mysterious Pastimes of Mohini-murti) into the See also section. It looks neater that way and none of the information is duplicated. Best wishes, ys, Gouranga(UK) 11:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you, George Custer's Sabre. But do you know if there is a manual of style somewhere specifically for this sort of thing? Specifically spiritual leaders' birth names?

Talk:Huber Matos

message: This article puts in information of Cienfuegos disappearance, insinuating conspiracy.  It is unfounded.  The one conspiracy that is founded is that Matos was a traitor, collaberating with a foreign government, namely the CIA in the run up to the Bay of Pigs invasion. Counterintelligence on the CIA concluded that Huber Matos was working in conjunction with persons such as Tony Varona, Carlos Prio, and Manuel Artime with the plans for a counter-revolution organised by the Central Intelligence Agency under Frank Sturgis.
Why is THIS not mentioned in the article?
Furthermore, it was not simply letters, but Matos made public denunciations of the revolution in July 1959 in Camagüey.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.64.181 (talk) 14:34, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:List of school districts in Massachusetts

message: I'm in the process of turning this page into a complete list, per Mass. DOE's website, of public school districts in Massachusetts. Eventually, this page will have four main sections:
1. Explanation
2. Academic districts (already half done)
3. Vocational-Technical districts
4. Charter school districts
Sections 2-3 will consist of alphabetical lists, with subsections for each letter.
Section 1 will explain the differences among the three types of districts (really, four types, as "academic" includes both school departments, i.e. confined to one municipality, and regional school districts, i.e. consisting of more than one community). It will also clarify to the reader how information is presented in the list: first, the official name (not the name the district calls itself, but "Blank" School Department or "Blank" Regional School District); second, the towns and grades it serves, in parentheses; third, a link to the official website, if known. At some point I plan to go hunting for official websites, as well.
Someday far in the future -- help would be appreciated, but I'd like to come up with the template first -- I'd like to start filling in individual pages for each district, detailing geographic location, population served, school buildings, enrollment, key personnel (superintendents, perhaps principals), etc. Wiki Wistah 09:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Massive (definitive?) update 

message: Hey, Zr2d2, thanks for the Charter list. I added Websites and Commonwealth / Horace Mann information (yeah, it matters), along with cleaning up some of the location names. I think it's best to use city/town names, as villages and neighborhoods (e.g. Marstons Mills, South Boston) don't really have any governmental standing.
One thing I changed, but will probably change back: to keep consistency with the "Academic school districts" section, I made each of the entries refer to a school district. But that seems like it will create a lot of needless pages, as each charter school organization -- correctly if I'm wrong -- seems to oversee only one school; so we should just list the schools, with a note up top telling readers that each school is a district unto itself. Of course, the Horace Mann schools really aren't; they're actually independent schools within established academic districts. But the DOE Website wants to list them as separate districts, so who are we to quibble?
Incidentally, that point about charter schools probably holds equally for vokes. I don't know of any vo-tech district out there with more than one school. I'll get to those after N-Z. Wiki Wistah 06:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Charter schools 

message: I was thinking, since most (or all) of the charter school districts only have one school, should we link them to the schools article?  Odds are they are not going to create a "district" page.Mparker413 18:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Turkish people by country

message: == Re-organization of the template ==
The current title "diaspora" sometimes leads to misunderstandings. When I first set up the template, I hadn't thought about that angle, and wanted to create a template linking various Turkish groups around the world in a single template. However there seems to be problems with the countries where Turks are natives (ex Bulgaria) rather than immigrants (Belgium). I think we should re-organize the template under "Turks" like the corresponding template about Greeks, then organize it so that we don't allow for huge expansions all the way to 5th century Central Asia, India or Siberia.

replies: text: Just following up here: the first image on this article from Peter Pearsall does not appear to be a rusty crayfish. There are no black and red rings to the tip of the chelae. There are not tubercles on the chelae or claws consistent with most Faxonius crayfish species; rather, these claws are more consistent with the morphology of crayfish in the family Astacidae like the signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus. The image does not show other identifying features of a rusty crayfish like the red or rust-colored spots on the side of the carapace. The figure caption lists the former (Orconectes) rather than current (Faxonius) scientific name per the taxonomic revision of Crandall and de Grave 2017 (doi:10.1093/jcbiol/rux070). The image has been used by management agencies on social media as representative of rusty crayfish when it shows no identifying morphological or life color features of this species - the inclusion of the image here is leading to misidentification or misinformation about this important, invasive organism.
