message: a death mean a pop culture reference?
I dont get that. You might as well add "In popular culture" to Knife then for all the people that have been stabbed.
Im sure the motive of that shooter was to get his shooting on Wikipedia as a popular culture reference for drivebys 77.99.186.110 (talk) 18:44, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  How does... 

message: The "Television" section of "In Poular Culture" is a bit overdone- the mention of HBO's "The Wire" is reasonable enough, but the quotes from "Merry Christmas, Drake and Josh" and "Desperate Housewives" are merely fleeting references, which contribute little to the article. Perhaps they should be replaced with an actual instance of a drive-by occuring in the plot of a television show? MazelTav (talk) 20:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It would most likely be acceptable, considering that The Wire is, though it might take out a bit of neutrality if we start listing a bunch of instances that only show drive-bys going wrong. In other words, add it if you feel, but if you can, try to find an instance of a successful drive-by and add that too. Also, next time you're posting in a talk page, create a new section (unless you're replying to a section that's already there, of course). MazelTav (talk) 03:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Thadius, I think what the user was trying to say was that this article makes little sense to people unfamiliar with the topic. That makes it a poor encyclopedic entry.

replies: text: There are many who find Freudian and Lacanian terms to be false, which is their prerogative, but the fact is that there is a lot of literature on this stuff.

Talk:List of watermills in the United Kingdom

message: Why isn't there a list of just working mills? There certainly aren't many - I believe there's only one in Wales (St Fagans)81.103.127.138 20:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Working mills

message: I propose that the list should be severely culled, to remove redlinks to mills that are not going to have their own articles. Mills which are likely to have their own articles in the future should have an entry, but not as a redlink, which can be created just before the article goes live if an editor prepares it in their sandbox. If this article was to be a list of all watermills ever to exist in the UK we are talking of tens of thousands! For an example of what I mean see the Kent section of Windmills in the United Kingdom. Mjroots (talk) 06:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In principle, I agree, which is why I avoid adding to this list.  The value of a list like this is to identify (by red links) articles that need to be written.  I would suggest that a redlink with a link to a website could stay; any mills that are still working, open as tourist attraction, or otherwise notable should stay, but others should be culled.  The problme is that one needs local knowledge to know what mills are notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Having read this, I've just decided to delay adding mills in Brampton, Maulds Meaburn and Kings Meaburn (all within a very small area of Cumbria). Given the enormous number of possible entries, notability is going to be crucial. A watermill isn't notable just because it existed, or maybe even just because the building still exists. I agree that a list of mills in production would be more manageble, and perhaps we could include mills that have been restored for exhibition but not necessarily production? --Northernhenge (talk) 15:26, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Greyfriars Church, Reading

message: Icairns, thanks for your edit. I hope that my re-correction of the Alpha Course section is OK re. POV policy; I think "examining the claims of Jesus" is a fairly objective description of the course. 
Also hope the further breakdown of the current activities section (now "Greyfriars today") is OK: my original idea was to base this description around the church's motto, but accept that clearer sections would be more helpful. "Discipleship" and "Evangelism" seemed straightforward titles for the church's two main concerns. --Tim giddings 22:11, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
