Talk:Opening Day

message: The picture of President Bush claims that the pitch was from opening day, but that is an incorrect claim. The picture is actually from the Nationals' home opener, which occurred several days after Opening Day. Dextrosity (talk) 17:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm interested in how the time of day is determined for Opening Day i.e. the Detroit Tigers started opening season today (5/4/2012) at 1:09.  Usually they start the afternoon game at 1:05.  The year following a World Series win I thought the Tigers had the first season opening game.  So how is the open day time set for Opening Day MBL wide?76.64.76.194 (talk) 23:45, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  MLB Opening Day Schedual 

message: I'm not sure that the definition of "the day on which professional baseball leagues begin their regular season." is entirely correct. By this strict definition, MLB Opening Day 2013 would consist solely of Texas Rangers v Houston Astros. I thought that Opening Day encompassed the first game or home game of every team, even if these were spread over more than one day. --Jameboy (talk) 18:55, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Civilization in Transition

message: I've turned this redirect page into a brief discussion of the book, hopefully with "hooks" to let others expand it. It shows how the book fits into the series, briefly discusses its contents, and contains links to detailed online abstracts of every chapter, and to the book's entries in the catalogs of Princeton University Press and Routledge. In my experience, it isn't easy to find this material on one's own. I'm planning to do this with other books in the series, and would appreciate comments about that project. With luck, I might be able to do one book per day. Lou Sander (talk) 15:17, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Clash (magazine)

message: I'm doing POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 18:01, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Clay's Way

message: have removed the following words from the article's reception section as i have been unable to find reliable sources, a google search brings up rehashes of this article, and that these words appear to have been taken from the book's blurb:
:Clay's Way has been praised for its realistic teenage vernacular and its honest portrayal of gay teens. John Rechy (City of Night) quoted the book as being a "gay Catcher in the Rye", while Susanna Moore (In the Cut) called the book, "sexy, thrilling, terrifying, shrilling, milling, willing" and Thorn Hillsbery called the book, "Sick."

Talk:Clay (short story)

message: I just finished reading the short story, and I don't entirely agree with the article's summary:
: "a spinster with a minor job in a rescue mission for wayward women"
:: Where does it say she works in a rescue mission? The text says "the boys had got her that position in the Dublin by Lamplight laundry, and she liked it." Perhaps this was an actual place and was related to a rescue mission somehow? A citation would be nice if that's the case.
: "On a train, Maria has a bashful encounter with an elderly and drunken man who chats with her; she later discovers he has in fact stolen her plumcake, which she rationalises as being an honest mistake by the "confused" old man."
:: I think the part after the semicolon is just plain wrong. The relevant sentence from the story is, "Maria, remembering how confused the gentleman with the greyish moustache had made her, colored with shame and vexation and disappointment." Joe then comforts her and the story moves on. Perhaps the man stole the cake, but she's the one who was confused, not the old man. Maybe she honestly left it there, too, and there was no foul play; the text isn't clear (I imagine intentionally so).
: "The story ends with a description of how Joe has been "very much moved" by her song, although in keeping with the rest of her visit it is likely that he was crying with laughter at Maria's "quavering" rendition of the song."
:: I don't agree that he was crying with laughter. It doesn't fit with the rest of his relationship with her, where he called her his "proper mother". He could have imagined she was singing about him in a motherly fashion, which would be moving.
In general the summary is rather cynical. Some people joke at her expense, but she is comfortable with herself and truly enjoys her life:
:"And Maria laughed again till the tip of her nose nearly met the tip of her chin and till her minute body nearly shook itself asunder"
:"[Looking at herself in a mirror] In spite of its years she found it a nice tidy little body."
The summary doesn't get this idea across.

Talk:Clitophon (dialogue)

message: I suspect that saying it's not seen as genuine because Socrates doesn't win is a simplification of the real argument - Socrates obviously doesn't win in the Parmenides either, which is genuine.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.119.242 (talk) 22:17, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This Wikipedia article isn't advancing this theory, merely citing it as being among the primary reasons that the dialogue's authenticity has been historically challenged by scholarship.  You make an interesting point about the Parmenides, but I don't think that it does anything to challenge the fact that scholars have argued for the Clitophon as apocryphal.

Talk:Gnome (disambiguation)

message: gnomes are also featured in books. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.242.103.56 (talk • contribs) 22 May 2009
Many of the items currently mentioned on this disambiguation page do not belong here. The primary meaning of "gnome" is the small humanoid creature from folklore and fantasy fiction, and specific exemplars of this core meaning from literature, comics, games, and so forth should not be presented as distinct meanings. Exemplars that are particularly notable should be merged with the Gnome article (or, for all I care, on some sort of list). Less notable exemplars should not be listed at all. This disambiguation page should focus on meanings that are not merely exemplars of the core meaning. 125.168.127.32 (talk) 02:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I changed "GNU/Linux" to "Linux". Please hear out my reasoning for this:
# Wikipedia refers to GNU/Linux as simply Linux. The article on Linux is about the operating system, and the actual Linux kernel is given its own separate article at Linux kernel. GNU/Linux redirects to Linux.
# GNOME works on other distributions of Linux that don't have a GNU userland. Alpine Linux, for example, has support for GNOME.

thread_title:  Source for Info 

message: It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.
To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.
To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.
Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Ed Bird – Estella Lakes Provincial Park

message: When I did the new space-dash-space change I copied the dash as it is in the Protected Areas Act....in my discussions with the Leg Counsel yesterday (or Thursday? it's blur now) I know we looked up these particular items, and others ("these" being also Smith River Falls-Fort Halkett Provincial Park, which is another space-dash-space one - but many are hyphens) and I can't remember now exactly what she said in some cases; maybe emdash is official for these, I'll consult with her again (I have her email now rather than phone, though phoning is free anywhere from in BC).  I thought she'd said endash, but noted the longer dash in the actual pages, so I'll double check.  Pretty sure that User:abcbookworm who weighed in at the end of the RM is her.  One thing about finding the Act is that we now have a full list of all conservancies, protected areas, ecological reserves and parks, which wikipedia doesn't currently have.
