message: Wondering about the notice template at the top of the article.  Three of the four citations were in a good format, I think, and I just fixed the fourth one.  (Although it seems to link to a message board about PERL -- definitely a sub-par source.)

message: The inclusion of Adam Kennedy's bio on this page seems strange?  At one point he made significant contributions to CPAN, but he hasn't worked in this space in years, and it doesn't seem that he is defined by CPAN.  A mention that he was once an active administrator of CPAN might make sense (although there are lots of other admins), but the rest doesn't seem relevant.  68.199.173.193 (talk) 08:05, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The bio was added as a result of this AfD, which resulted in the merge of the independent article Adam Kennedy (programmer) to this one. The merged bio needs to be significantly trimmed, of course, as this article is not about Adam Kennedy. Mindmatrix 13:23, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

text: It's a typically wikipedian bullshit compromise. The question should be simple: Is Kennedy notable? --84.189.84.17 (talk) 12:54, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That question is relevant for an independent article about Kennedy. For this article, the questions should be - is Kennedy notable to this subject? I don't think so, though as 68.* said, perhaps in a section about all admins. His biography doesn't belong here, at any rate, and the merge result of the AfD was probably the wrong result. I'm going to remove the biography. Mindmatrix 22:13, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Ducks Deluxe

message: The article had "Garvey left and former Nashville Teens bassist Micky Groome joined".  There is no evidence apart from a unsubstantiated claim on "the Manband Archive" source that he played bass in the band.  I have found a number of articles online concerning members of The Nashville Teens, but the only person named Groome mentioned on them is drummer Roger Groome, who is not the same person.  I have removed the mention of Nashville Teens from that entry. Twistlethrop (talk) 01:07, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge with White Nights Festival? 

message: So, what should the definition of a white night be? 
Must the sun dip below the horizon, but have a minimum altitude above -6° (civil twilight)? This would include latitudes from 60.561° (60°33’43”) to the arctic/antarctic circle. 
Can this range be extended to include areas that experience nautical twilight but no darkness? This would include latitudes from 54.561° (54°33’43”) to the arctic/antarctic circle. Note that St. Petersburg celebrates white nights with its White Nights Festival, even though it technically always reaches at least nautical twilight because its latitude is 59°57' N. This is an argument to include places that experience at least an abbreviated nautical twilight.
Do white nights also include nights with a midnight sun? (I.e., can the sun always be above the horizon to count as a white night?)

thread_title:  Definition of a White Night 

message: Why the hell is this article in Russia Wikiproject? It has nothing to do with Russia. White nights apply everywhere in these latitidues and similar in the southern hemisphere. In Finland they last for months and it never gets dark during the night. Saint Petersburg is actually quite south in regard to white nights. --77.109.223.37 (talk) 21:13, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's probably due to the White Nights Festival, although it should be removed once theis article becomes more scientific. Also, The areas that experience White Nights don't experience Midnight Sun so I don't think it applies to the area of Finland you are referring to. However, there is definitely a part of Finland that experiences White Nights. Hope this helps. Set Sail For The Seven Seas 325° 40' 15" NET 21:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Since the graphics lab subpages are being updated . . . I'd be open to the idea of having a forum format like the graphics lab for maps, but have a couple of caveats - 1) I don't see any problem with using the general graphics lab for maps as it is now unless it's really getting overcrowded and 2) the reason :Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Requested and orphan maps is dead is not because it isn't needed but due to a lack of cartographers to work on maps. I'm not sure switching to or adding a forum format is going to somehow make cartographers come out of the woodwork, but I don't think it'd hurt anything.  As a side note I tend to work off of :Category:Wikipedia requested maps more than :Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Requested and orphan maps but I'm not sure anyone else does.

text: I am not sure why all these comments are directed at me, but since I have removed links to snake arm manufacturers from the page I will defend those edits.  A commercial website could be a valuable source of information and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with linking to one.  However, each time that I have personally removed a commercial link it was because I followed it and made a qualitative assessment of the website's content.  It is impossible to make a rule that says how much or what kind of information makes an external link a legitimate resource, but in the cases where I removed links it was because I felt that they were not.  I am happy to discuss individual sites and also re-evaluate sites that may have changed since they were removed, but I stand by the decisions that I have made up to this point.

Reformed Protestant vs. Lutheran:
This church was formerly Lutheran. It is OK to call it the former Protestant church. Reformed Protestant and Reformed Church mean something else though. Another word for Reformed (especially in the context of Slovaks) is Calvinist, and you may be more familiar with that term. The famous Hungarian Lutheran resistance bishop, Lajos Ordass grew up attending this church. In any case, Lutheran is a kind of Protestant, and so is Reformed. But this was a Lutheran church, not a Reformed church, and those are two different things. Unless anyone has any objections, I am going to change "Reformed Protestant" to "Lutheran" in a week or so, awaiting talk.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:82:200:1F40:ADAB:9973:8217:8EB6 (talk) 20:16, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
