Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Qian Zhijun

message: Will you now nominate Star Wars Kid for deletion by the same reasoning? There's more than whiff of cultural bias about deleting an article about "one of the most famous faces in China" while a huge array of Anglocentric memes are left untouched. — Matt Crypto 18:21, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the increased community focus on this type of article probably originated from the controversies about Brian Peppers, who is a white American living in Ohio. I also strongly supported deletion of Amir Massoud Tofangsazan (see AfDs and DRV thereon) about a similar situation in England. Frankly, I would not miss Star Wars Kid in its current form either. My concern remains the impact of publicity such as is created by articles such as these upon their subjects per the "do no harm" clause of BLP. Although this article was more responsible than some others have been, I continue to believe that as a top-ten website, we have an institutional responsibility in this area that we have not altogether satisfied. See generally, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Doc glasgow#Outside view by Newyorkbrad. If these and similar articles could be re-created in a way that seriously addressed these issues (omitting names and overly detailed identifying information about the subjects would be a start), my concerns would be reduced. In any event, the insinuation that my, or anyone's comments in this AfD were influenced by "cultural bias" is without substance. Newyorkbrad 18:32, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I will assert that there is a clear discrepancy between Wikipedia's treatment of an Anglocentric meme and a Chinese meme, and that, in my opinion, is the result of a cultural bias of the project and its participants. I don't wish to insinuate anything about you or any other particular person, but bias exists, and it's frustrating. As to your other points, I'm all for having an awareness of the impact of what we do has on real people, and I agree with you in principle, if not in the extent of the application of that principle. But still, I do find it a little bit silly that Wikipedia cannot report on "one of the most famous faces in China" based on a uncompelling argument that this could cause any real world harm. — Matt Crypto 18:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sex offenders and ship registry??? 

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

message: The Johammer 1, a production electric motorcycle, uses HCS.  See "The Johammer 1, Austria's Wild One," BBC, April 15, 2014 -- Chris  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.211.171 (talk) 11:36, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Johammer 1 

message: "Hub-Center Steering" is a precise sounding term and some of the examples given in this article do not seem to be covered by it. HCS implies that the components that define the steering axis are contained within the wheel hub and wheel bearings. The Ner-a-car seems to fit the description and as a result the rake angle must vary as the suspension moves through its travel. The Bimota Tesi and Difazio front ends have bearings within the hub that define a steering axis, but the component on which those bearings are carried (king pin?) is (unlike the ner-a-car) free to rotate about the same axis as the wheel, and additional components are needed outside of the hub to control the motion. The arrangement allows the rake angle to remain substantially constant and independent of suspension travel. I think the Tesi and Difazio should be considered HCS because the steering axis is defined by the bearings within the hub even if an external mechanism is provided to compensate for suspension motion. The Yamaha GTS 1000 is not HCS. It is possible to imagine a GTS-like front suspension where the lower steering bearing is located within the hub while the upper bearing remains in its current location above the wheel, it would be similar in principle to the Tesi and the Difazio, but I don't think it would be HCS because the spherical bearing within the hub would not, on it's own, define a steering axis. In the absence(?) of an established definition of HCS I propose the following: "A steering system where the steering axis is defined by components contained within the notional cylinder(s) containing the wheel bearings; notwithstanding any additional components provided to adjust the rake angle of the steering axis, to compensate for the the motion of the suspension system, which may be located outside of those cylinder(s)."

Talk:Mount Blackwelder

message: Hello! I've never contributed to a talk page before, so please let me know if I'm inadvertently flouting any rules.
I found this article through the Random Article button, looking for something that might need some contributions. After diving down the rabbit hole trying to find out as much information as I could on this topic, I'm pretty confident concluding that Mount Blackwelder is the second-highest peak in the Wilkness Mountains, based primarily on the New Zealand Gazetteer Antarctic map search tool.https://gazetteer.linz.govt.nz/ (search the coordinates of the peak: -77.9833, 161.0667) I verified as much by reviewing the topography of the range using the Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica.https://arcg.is/11qSfr 
Now, since the height ranking of Mount Blackwelder isn't explicitly stated in any source I've been able to find, the case could be made that the height ranking constitutes "original research" and would be ineligible for inclusion in this article. On the other hand, the height ranking could be considered "present" in those maps, in some sense, even if the different peaks aren't formally listed by elevation.
I think the height ranking of this mountain is interesting and potentially useful, and would help expand the article from a stub into something more substantial, but in keeping with the editing guidelines I figured I'd share my thoughts here and ask for input from the community. I'd love to hear what others are thinking on this topic  it could potentially help to expand the articles for other, similarly lesser-known mountains in this range.
Thanks!

Talk:Toronto hospital baby deaths

message: I am not a Wiki edit expert, but was struggling with the overall content, which seems to imply that despite the exoneration of Susan Nelles and no charges being laid against Phyllis Trayner, that one of the them was indeed responsible for the deaths.   That should be left to the reader.  However, all of the facts need to be spelled out coherently.  Susan Nelles was charged with 4 murders.  She was exonerated at preliminary trial as proof was provided that she was on a 10 day vacation when one of the 4 deaths occurred, and was not on duty when a second of the 4 deaths occurred, due to switching shifts with another nurse.   I do not have the details on why the other 2 murder charges were dropped as I do not have access to the legal case transcripts.  The external articles that do exist have contradictions - one says that there was a big increase in the number of deaths (as much as 623% higher), while another says that the overall death rate in the hospital did not change.  
I was 21 years old and living in Toronto in 1981 and remember the turmoil at the time.  In my opinion, the Attorney General's office caved to the media generated public pressure to charge someone without doing proper due dilligence.  This is why Susan Nelles was partially successful in her malicious prosecution suit.  Glad to see that the legal community, the media, and the medical community has not forgotten about this case.  I personally would like to believe that the police and hospital investigators neglected to look at the equipment as a possible cause of these deaths and the deaths were indeed a result of the MBT in the syringes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdnjock (talk • contribs) 23:22, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm not wiki-friendly, so I'll let someone else add the following to the article if they feel it's appropriate.
You were looking for a reference for Phylis Trayner.  Here is an article posted at the time of her death, which documents that she was suspected of the murders but never charged.  The article also questions whether these were actual murders, although other news articles (which appear to have 'aged out' and are no longer available online) assert the death rate spike that occurred only when that nursing shift was on, and reduced back to normal after the investigation started, would tend to support that they were.
I was surprised to read that this case is considered to be the largest serial killing spree (the article wrongly describes it as mass murder) in Toronto's history.

Talk:Between the Lines (TV series)

message: Between the lines is a carefully casted and beautifully shot drama that seemed to capture the changing values of the times (1992-1994) as The Sweeney did before it in 1974. It also involved some of the finest British TV character actors eg Ian postelthwait or Daniel Craig or Ian Holm.
One of the core themes is - the advancement of graduate career officers (flyers) at the expense of less 'politically  correct' officers and, arguably, at the expense of justice. Within the context of policing  'political correctness' carries with it a menace which, in this show, is decided by journalists and politicians and then played out in the violent and dramatic cut and thrust between rival officers and rival villains. 
The witchhunt mentality that seemed to pervade the police service in the early 90s helps to explain why 'law and order' in the UK appeared to become an outmoded concept at that time; in one scene a senior officer admits the crown prosecution service (cps) is more likely to try him on false allegations than those fabricating the allegations ie. the cps would take the opportunity for a 'show trial' to prove how the met was being purged of any impropriety.

replies: text: In the light of this the opening sentence "A sprag is a one-way freewheel clutch" is wrong. In fact most of the article  refers to the mechanism, rather than the component, although (decrying false modesty) the diagram label is right. There is sound logic to the de-merger proposal but I tend to oppose because the "sprag" article would be so short.
