message: It has been a year since Astro Empires was deleted and moved here in preparation for an eventual return. It is time that the article is moved back. The game now boasts over 34,000 players, 4 servers and has been published more than once.

Next week the game creator will be published in one of the largest newspapers in Portugal about the game. Butch-cassidy (talk) 00:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, given the history surrounding this article, deletion review might be a better venue to discuss recreating it. For what it's worth, I oppose moving the article to main space at this time, because the article as currently written doesn't make a case for notability per WP:N and WP:WEB: there are no references to establish that the game has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." If the game has received significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources, this info should be added to the article with citations. --Muchness (talk) 09:11, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Ontario King's Highways

message: I submit to you  that Template:Ontario King's Highways does not satisfy WP:NPOV (specifically:WP:UNDUE). It gives undue weight to the viewpoint that the listed roadways are the only roads with the honorific prefix of "King's Highway". After close inspection and attempts at locateing Citations, it is apparent that the Template is based upon a sigular citation source via the Provincial_highways_in_Ontario#King.27s_Highways Article. The source does not satisfy WP:RS. It is based upon the works of a single person. No desparageing of the site is intended in that remark, however other sources cannot be ignored. http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/ (a Gov't website, regularly updated and factchecked) points out the definition of "King' Highway" as "includes the secondary highways and tertiary roads designated under the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act". (for one IANAL-laymans interpretation of of that legalese see  here.) Not even does the Template acknowlage the possible existance of any tertiary roads with the honorific prefix "King's Highway". I politely ask, please give citations as to where you are obtaining the listing of included roads. 
I will make my position clear. I do not wish to create argument, however, I do not believe that the Template should be used, at all, until such time as a difinitive list of roadways, that will stand up to WP:RS, is presented in the citations for this Template. Should no citation be presented (within an extended timespan), this same argument will be presented in WP:TFD. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 13:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cockalier

message: I think that the Cockalier Spaniel should have its own article, for the article it is redirected to (Mongrel), does not once mention the Cockalier. The article Mongrel states that "A mongrel, mixed-breed dog or mutt is a dog that does not belong to one officially recognized breed and is not the result of intentional breeding." However, the Cockalier is not bred unintentionally, it's parents or foundation stock are the cocker spaniel and the cavalier king Charles spaniel. The Cockalier is also recognized by several different hybrid kennel clubs, the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), the Designer Breed Registry (DBR), the Designer Dogs Kennel Club (DDKC), the Dog Registry of America, Inc. (DRA) and the International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR). Therefore, according to the article it is linked to, the Cockalier is not a mongrel but a crossbreed. Furthermore, other crossbred dogs listed on the list of dog crossbreeds page on Wikipedia like the Yorkipoo or the Texas Heeler have their own articles. Here is a link to an article that I think Cockalier should be redirected to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockalier_Spaniel. It gives pertinent information about the breed and goes into more detail than the mongrel article that doesn't mention this breed. Marley2003 (talk) 10:19, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Scope and references 

message: The article mentions big two battles, one in 1938 and one in 1939. But my questions is: Was there more violent clashes? Many border conflicts are typified by an endless exchange of small arms fire over hundreds of kilometers, stretching over years. Also in many such conflicts are full of raids into enemy territory. Or even smaller battles.
Was there any such incidents between Soviet-Union and Japan in the 1938-39 war or was the two battles all there was?

thread_title:  Two battles or more? 

message: Where, exactly, do these numbers come from for the Soviets and Japanese? While the casualties and strengths for the individual battles (Khasan, Khalkin Gol) and skirmishes (Tauran, Halhamiao, Kanchazu) are sourced, these overall numbers aren't. Anyone want to chime in, or offer a reason why the unsourced numbers should stay? They don't seem very plausible at a glance anyway (e.g. it claims 38,324 Japanese casualties, when Khasan and Khalkin Gol only add up to ~20,000), unless there were way, way more skirmishes just like the mentioned three that this article doesn't mention.--Nihlus1 (talk) 02:31, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Testudines

message: It says turtles are ectothermic - am I wrong in thinking the turtles in the North Atlantic are warm-blooded??  Stevebritgimp 18:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they're all ectothermic but it's important to understand that dividing animals into "cold-" and "warm-blooded" camps isn't terribly accurate. There's a whole spectrum of temperature control mechanisms. Sea turtles in the North Atlantic (specifically, leatherback turtles) aren't warm blooded in the sense of being able to control their body temperature precisely in the same way as mammals or birds, but they do have mechanisms that allow them to have a body temperature slightly to significantly above water temperature. Some of this comes from their size, some from insulation that keeps the body core away from the cold water, and some from countercurrent heat exchangers. So they're ectotherms with some endotherm-like physiological adaptations. Cheers, Neale Neale Monks 19:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I've been a Skeleton Key fan since the Fantastic Spike Through Balloons, 1997. This "new album" called Pushing Daisies on Spotify does not sound at all like the Skeleton Key I know. The production is poor, the sound is low, and the vocal style is completely different. It really sounds like the wrong band. 
Spotify is not great about treating bands with the same name differently. The Japanese band Boris also has this problem, as many artists use the name "Boris." I can't find any other references that link the 1997–2014 band "Skeleton Key" with at least one member of the original band associated with this new album "Pushing Daisies." Search right now ranks the soundtrack to the 2008 television show much higher than this album, making it harder to find information as well. UrbanDecayPVD (talk) 16:12, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
