message: User:Wenbro and 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63, please discuss your edits here and try to develop a consensus. Woodroar (talk) 13:02, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: My thoughts on the dispute: the cited source appears to be reliable and should probably be incorporated into the article. However, there was too much detail for the lead section, which is supposed to be a summary of the body of the article; we normally add content to the body first, and then summarize in the lead if it's a significant viewpoint. In addition, there was too much content cited to a single source; typically a single source can support a paragraph or maybe two, but there were more than a dozen paragraphs. 2601:19E also mentioned a potential copyright violation at User talk:Wenbro#April 2023. That should be discussed if true. Woodroar (talk) 13:23, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you, . Going forward, Wenbro may want to read the guidelines re: copyright violations and supporting content with WP:RELIABLE sources. As Woodroar noted, the lede was jammed with multiple definitions of what a contract theory is, and some of the tone wasn't encyclopedic, so there were multiple red flags. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:54, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Heja, so I edited this section into this:
::In 1949, becoming increasingly depressed and disillusioned over postwar Germany's occupation, and being homophobically attacked and outed by the U.S. government, Klaus Mann died by suicide, a refugee in the United States. This event devastated and engaged Erika Mann.[9]
I added outed and additional context from the Citations. The other version failed to mention key context info from the citation; that the Mann's were specifically upset/hopeless about the continued tyrrany of an occupation as well as its politicisation (it turns out they were kinda right to be) and that the psychological stress of Klaus being repeatedly outed and essentially being forced to deal with a prospect of a homophobic deportation to Germany, destroying his new life.
I'll check on Klaus' page another time, personally I don't like being outed, so I just log my handle and current ip talonx89.12.78.160 (talk) 11:14, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Then in 1937 to 1939, he attended School of American Ballet. He became interested in dance and theater through his older brother Phil Greenwald, who was the legendary talent booker for the equally legendary Concord Hotel in New York's Catskill Mountains. 10 days and all i could find was this!!!

message: This article is full of fakelore and it has good article status!!! Authenticity = of Lada is rejected by 99% of modern scholars. This article quotes some 1) old books that just copied random stuff from 19th century Russia, 2) sources that are uncritical, are "dictionaries" that describe deities and have no references or proofs for their claims, just repeat stuff from older books. There is other misinformation here as well: "Polish twin deities Zizilia and Didilia" are just different spelling for Dzidzilela - another pseudo-goddess mentioned by Długosz, Kupala is not deity, same with Kostroma.

replies: text: Hello ! You picked the wrong article and the wrong time. The article is now spreading fakelore because its author does not know the subject he is writing about. The vast majority of modern researchers consider Lada to be a goddess who was never really worshipped either by the Slavs or the Balts. The historicity of the twins (Lel and Polel) is also very questionable. Here I'm explainign why this article is bad: Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Lada_(mythology).

Talk:Computer Cryptology

message: I was scrolling through the cleanups to get my first article, and I found this. Now I like computers, and i know a bit of Cryptology, so I took this. It turned out that there was no talk page yet (very practical), but I soon found out that the problems are very obvious.
The article is too difficult for all the non-techies out there. There are parts even I have trouble understanding, so I can't imagine how a non-techie would think of it. OK, i dont know what a non-techie would do here, but still.
Also, I noticed the "Created by" and "Edited by" lines. Goddamn, I have never seen *that* in wikipedia. BTW, I thought up a new word for annoying editors: ediot. Fits nice here.
Another problem is that the title is "Computer Cryptology", whereas the contents mostly deal with "Human-based Cryptology". When you google "Human-based cryptology", this page is actually the only hit.
I am going to edit it now, and I hope my first edit will be successful.

Talk:Crimson Lotus

message: Does it make sense to link to CL's last.fm page? There's no further relevant information there, and the existence of a last.fm page by itself is rather irrelevant too: every artist once played by anyone using audioscrobbler has their page created on last.fm automatically. I think every link should be justified by a certain amount of new information the reader can derive from it.

message: Since CL @ last.fm are 'established' in the sense that they have an official image and albums added (the latter which can only be done by the label, not by users), and listening stats might be interesting for people interested in the band or those wondering which song is representative of the band, I'd rather leave the link in. Another point are the related artists which might help decide whether one would like the band (with a bit of wishful thinking regarding last.fm's algorithms). Although, admittedly, with freely available tracks on the internet, all it takes to check the band out are some clicks and a little download.

message: This page might be improved by including etymology and history; the original definition of the term "mediant" and how that applies to the "mediant" defined, in this article, by a formula. The page is not titled "Mediant formula" and presumably there are historic reasons for the use of the term (if the equation is defined as "mediant", and "mediant" is defined as the equation, we have a circular definition).

thread_title: Untitled

message: I am changing the genre of the album to psychedelic rock, progressive rock, and indie rock. The heavy use of synthesizers, the extended guitar-duet with piano jams, and the incorporation of reggae musical patterns is far more characteristic of psychedelic and progressive rock music than of southern rock and indie rock, which was the primary genre listed. Of course the album remains somewhat characteristic of indie rock, but only in an industrial modern frame of view.

Mark Galli is only 66 and is still the editor in chief of a magazine with a very large circulation.  Oxford English Dictionary does not show "hearer" as obsolete, and a search on Google News shows the word still in use; even if it was obsolete, a direct quotation should not be edited in this way.--PeterR2 (talk) 12:24, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I think that 90% of readers coming here looking for a ship look for the BE-43. I felt uneasy myself about adding a direct wikilink to BE-43 here, knowing there is the other page listing ships. The problem may lay in this unusual two-level disambiguation. There are also no articles about other ships, and the one is at the bottom of the list.

Talk:British campaign medals

message: There seems to be a mistake at the bottom of the images of medal ribbons for the 19th Century - as the last two are the same.  If they are indeed the same, perhaps this needs to be stated.
This has been a useful page in trying to identify ribbons on a black and white photo - so thanks to the person who looks after this article!
Lester May
:This is correct - the Queen's South Africa Medal and the Transport Medal shared the same ribbon.  This was actually not all that rare in the 19th century - if you look at the head of that section you will see the 'rainbow' design of ribbon was re-used almost a dozen times for various Indian/Afghan campaign medals.
