message: I uploaded an image of the cover from Amazon Online Reader, tagged it, and used it in the infobox for this book. Frijole 14:31, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

message: If anyone can find a citation for this, then add it back into the text, otherwise it had to go. Having the one sentence mentioning this with a "citation needed" warning isn't enough, it can easily look like this happened but that a suitable article hasn't been found or the old article was a broken link or whatever. It just looks like it was non-fiction.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by OMouse (talk • contribs) 00:02, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Municipal government

message: I advocate for the article to remain distinct.  I think this article is currently a stub and can include information about municipal governments in other countries.  Thus it seems more prudent to call this a stub than to merge this with the US and exclude other municipal governments under different countries.
:I disagree. My primary reason is that different countries have different definitions of a municipality. I think it would be better if the information in this page were moved to Local government in the United States, as it seems to be describing the same thing, and this page made into a redirect to the more general Local government page. I'll carry this out in a few days if no-one objects -Kieran 17:48, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections January 2006/Vote/Dmcdevit

message: *None yet, but if it's distracting, you're welcome to move my deleted vote and attached comments here.  Unfocused 05:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments moved from project page

message: Several voters have taken exception to Dmcdevit's use of the terms "problem users" and "productive editors" in his opening statement. I think some people are interpreting his comments to mean something he may not have meant to imply. I didn't read his comments as saying "People who come before the arbcom must be 'problem users'", but rather "people who are 'problem users' often come before the arbcom." I don't think Dmcdevit would be prejudiced to see someone as a problem user just because he/she came before the committee - but if anyone thinks that there are no users that can be accurately characterized as "problem users", then you probably haven't met enough Wikipedians. :)
Anyway, I wish Dmcdevit would clarify his position on this, but I strongly suspect he would agree that some users are almost entirely productive, some users almost exclusively cause problems, and most users are in the gray area inbetween. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 16:56, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Thach Weave

message: I changed "inferior" to "slower-turning" in the first paragraph.  Throughout the entire Pacific Campaign all US fighters (and, if memory serves, all other common fighters in service anywhere else in the world) had poorer turning characteristics than the A6M Zero-sen, which was a dogfighter's fighter.  Still, they were all more durable, had better dive and climb characteristics (P-40 Warhawk), had better performance at altitude (F4U Corsair), were simply faster (P-38 Lightning)... classifying aircraft as generally "inferior" is only effective when comparing apples to apples; doctrine usually plays a greater role.  There's a reason why modern F-14, F-18, F-15, etc. pilots try to keep fights high and fast; if they get into even a MiG-21's flight envelope they'll lose because the "inferior" aircraft performs better at lower altitudes.  --165.134.195.72 06:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Those two images do not illustrate tactics right.  There is a right illustration in second external link http://www.centuryinter.net/midway/appendix/appendixfourteen_usvftac.html. The idea was to to have two fighter sections on distance between them at least at a turn radius. Defending pair could shoot at enemy on first turn.  --Tigga en 03:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: An odd place to see this

message: Alexander Pokryshkin engaged seemingly same maneuvre, named "scissors" around 1942 on Russian-German front. However the main intention was to chain those "scissors: into "snakeys", allowing fast MiG-3 interceptors be used to convoy slow Sukhoi Su-2 bombers without outrunning them. Escorting on low power made interceptors themselves been prey to sudden attacks and protective value of scissors (both for neighbours' support and allowed high speed) was noted. On fighters missions, however, Pokryshkin, tending to vertical maneuvres rather than dogfights, that was not of much use. 4th picture might show wingman protecting his leader or perhaps example of scissors used for defense. http://www.23ag.ru/html/bloknot_1.html 212.176.32.20 (talk) 14:20, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Seven Sister States

message: A better name for the article would be the seven sisters of India or the seven sisters of the North-East, as these are the names used in media rather than "Seven Sister States." --Gurubrahma 06:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Better name?

message: I am confused by this line from the Interdependence paragraph:  "A correct strategy to control floods in the plains calls for soil conservation and afforestation in the hills."  I know something about range/forest/watershed management at least in the USA and it seems as though the author is suggesting that the sister states practice "afforestation?"  To minimize peakflows downstream, a more forested and more vegetated uplands is needed or desired to reduce valley flooding not afforestation.  Is this a language issue perhaps?Polkamj (talk) 13:56, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

message: I intend to remove the image of the Seven-Sister States due to the "dashed-" or "dotted-" line that delineates the borders of Arunachal Pradesh.

Talk:Pioneer Park (Fairbanks, Alaska)

message: Disneyland? huh? I was under the impression that it was to honor pioneers to Alaska, and was specifically the idea of one of the local Alaska Pioneers Igloos (#4, I think). There has been significant uproar over the name change, particularly from one vocal individual, Mark Centennial Ames, who has been advocating ever since the name change that it be renamed Centennial Park. He changed his name to reflect his ardent desire that the park be so named, and has run for local office with this issue as part of his platform. Deirdre 21:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Template talk:User browser:Safari

message: Even though I'd like to have a picture of the Safari icon in this template, unless there's a change to Wikipedia:Fair use (see #9 under "Fair use policy" in particular), we can't use it.  This isn't about consensus or censorship, or anything like that.  It's a legal issue, pure and simple, and unless that gets resolved, we'll have to live with text.

text: I'm way late to this particular party, but here's the rationale. Fair use images can be used in articles because they are (ideally) being used specifically to explain the article. They can't be used in templates because templates in absolutely no way explain articles. That's the semi-dumbed down reason, but it's pretty spot-on from what I can tell.

thread_title:  Requested move at [[Talk:National Football League Players Association#Requested move 29 March 2024]] 

message: I have been experiencing difficulties with article creation which I believe are due to a systemic bias in Wikipedia's review system. As many of us in this project probably already know, working class people and their history are significantly underrepresented in academic research, which leads to difficulties creating articles about these topics on Wikipedia. Most recently, I have been encountering issues with an article I wrote about Jeff Johnson, the former president of the Washington State Labor Council and an important figure in recent labor history in this area. Despite the article being approved from AfC less than a month ago and my efforts to add more secondary sources to prove notability, the article is now being proposed for deletion. It would be very helpful if people here could help me improve the article and contribute to the discussion on the AfD page to prevent it from being deleted. Thank you for your support!
