thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 15 August 2017 

message: There is an IP-editor who keeps on trying to post a reference to the "King of Canada" emerald as one of the most notable Emeralds in the world and then adding a reference that re-directs to a Gemstone business.  I can't find any reference to the "King of Canada Sean Robert Gehani Emerald" except for one low-grade website here , which is odd given that most notable Emeralds have their own WP page (and generate lots of Google hits).  There was even an ANI on this raised by editor Meters, and others, who said that it is a hoax by a long-standing sockpuppet  Freecomwireless, however, I can't find the old link to the ANI.  This IP editor even went to report me as WP:VD on the noticeboard (which was declined), as I kept reverting their edits and reference to their Gemstone business (as part of the "Pending Changes" reviews as the article is protected).  I am leaving this notice for other "Pending Changes" reviewers to be aware of this situation. Britishfinance (talk) 19:10, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

message: This article has had long standing notability issues. I have just removed the prod, supplied some references, and done a savage clean up. Myra Landau is a known artist - though English language internet sources are hard to come by as the bulk of her work was done in Latin America. There are books and journals in which she is written about by notable art critics. The main issues with this article appears to be that it was written by either the artist herself or by her publicist. All that content has now been removed apart from a few words in the first sentence. It can now be built upon by people who have knowledge of or an interest in modern Latin American art.

Talk:Reprobation

message: IMHO, this section is irredeemable. It misunderstands both double predestination and hyper-calvinism. It contradicts the Predestination (Calvinism) article. Considering the current errors, it needs to be deleted:
*synonym for a symmetrical view of predestination - if it's used like that, that would be erroneous
*Such a view makes God the author of sin - that's debatable
*universally rejected by Reformed thinkers - no citation
The rest is lifted straight from R. C. Sproul, but his article is referred to in Predestination (Calvinism), anyway.

Talk:Index of Egypt-related articles

message: This page is a total mess, many of the links are redirects to other pages linked from here. Many of the pages already exist on other pages of lists.
Couldn't all the mythology related articles be replaced with one link to the list of egyptian mythology related topics, for example?
And can't we just replace this horrific mess with a category?
Hello? Is anybody there?
:It is a bit of a mess... But replacing it with a category wouldn't serve its main purpose, which is to act as an Egypt-specific list of Recent Changes when you click on "Related Changes". We do, however, need to be more assiduous in keeping it up to date for it to function that way: redirects probably shouldn't be listed here, but if someone moves a page that is listed here to a new location that isn't, then tracking for that article is lost.
:I don't think it's that unwieldy yet (although it would be if all the Egypt pages were listed). Perhaps a split between "Egypt" and "Ancient Egypt" would be appropriate at some point in the future? (There'd be some overlap, of course, but having some articles listed on both wouldn't be a problem.)
:Another thing: some similar lists of "-related things" have links to the articles' talk pages as well, which enhances the usefulness of the "Related Changes" function. Adding talk page links would be a lot of work, unless someone can think of a text-editor macro to speed the process.  – Hajor 15:06, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: On this template, there is a section entitled "Tussaud's Theme Parks", followed by a list of theme parks owned by The Tussauds Group. The problem is that, as the company name is Tussauds, shouldn't it read "Tussauds' theme parks"?
When I look at various Tussauds' park logos, I see they make this same "mistake" e.g. "Tussaud's Alton Towers". Is this a mistake on both theirs and wikipedia's part, which should be corrected, or is it a special exception to the rules of grammar, which I don't know about, which only applies to Tussauds?
: The company was originally Madama Tussaud's Waxworks, but it's now a big corporate group, and as such is reverting to 'Tussauds'. Alton Towers and Chessington retain the apostrophe, but Thorpe Park loses it. It's probably best to refer to them as 'Tussauds theme parks', (as a compound noun phrase rather than a possessive). --Frankie Roberto 22:42, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

This is already a disambiguation article and fully complies with Wikipedia naming convention as in WP:Disambiguation#Page_naming_conventions. UCB has no greater claim to any other article named Berkeley in my opinion and it was wrong to redirect it without at least first discussing it and reaching some consensus.

message: From way above, Ben wrote: "Ungtss has rightly pointed out that consensus science is fundamentally meaningless." This statement is wrong, simply because the term fundamentally meaningless is so completely overloaded with both religious (Ungtss) and scientific (Ben) notions of absolutism. The "consensus" in science is not ever meant to represent "truth" or even "scientific proof," rather it means a tacit consensus for the current time, based on existing proofs and related experiments. Ungtss use of the word "meaningless" merely meant that consensus ≠ (religious) truth. Ben's use of the "meaningless" means consensus ≠ (scientific) proof. But MU ≠ MB, just as truth ≠ proof. -SV|t 01:00, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Image of 'Britain First'? 

message: "Formal work on an extended-range reconnaissance version started as the Blenheim Mk II, which increased tankage from 278 to 468 imp gal (1,260 to 2,130 L; 334 to 562 US gal). Only one Blenheim Mk II was completed, as flight tests revealed the increase in speed to be marginal and not warranting further development" 
What increase in speed? It starts out taking about how they needed more range and so added an extra 150 gallons of fuel. Then suddenly the increase in speed isn't enough. What increase in speed? There was no mention of that at all. Was that what they were trying to achieve? They must have made other changes besides just increasing the fuel load if they wanted to increase the speed. Especially if they also increased the fuel load, which makes it heavier.  
Also later, " Other modifications included the addition of a bomb-aimer's position and a Browning machine gun in the nose along with provisions for a semi-retractable gun turret in the dorsal position"
What nose mounted Browning? The only Browning that ever went in the nose was the rearward firing defensive gun installations, and that was a later addition. The fixed forward firing Browning was in the port wing, just like the Beaufort and every other variant of the Blenheim.

message: The Ontario government has not committed to have Highway 417 extended all the way to Sault Ste. Marie by 2020. We know it's on the books as a prospective project, but it most certainly isn't in any kind of active planning at this point. And besides, the vastly shorter and easier Highway 400 extension to Sudbury isn't scheduled for completion until 2017, and that's already been in the pipeline for years — so there's no way you're going to see an exponentially more complex project take only three years longer than that, when it's just a long-term goal that hasn't even entered the planning stages yet. And for that matter, I don't hold out much hope that they're ever going to figure out a viable solution to the North Bay bottleneck.
