Talk:Judah Folkman

message: * Controversy: this is just spam for the book discussed here
I don't regard the combination of the previous contributions (and mine) about Folkman's research as "spam" for a book. I came here to contribute to the Folkman article because his contrarian research methods resulted in a breakthrough - if not a paradigm shift.
I'm interested in groundbreaking scientific work, which as students of the History of science know, frequently goes against the grain. Pioneers in several scientific fields have had difficulty getting other scientists to look at their work. I thought Folkman would make an example of this. Deleting the section on the controversy is needless censorship. --Uncle Ed (talk) 12:00, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Jude Deveraux

message: The Sun Sentinel (Fla.) so reports in Fortune tellers defrauded bestselling author of $20 million, feds say, citing a federal prosecution of the scheme and identifying her via the phrasing, "Several sources with knowledge of the case said the victim is Jude Deveraux..."  Including other victims doubles the fraud to $40 million.
Our Wikipedia article also needs info on Deveraux's son's adoption and death.  --96.233.94.117 (talk) 13:42, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. :) We would need something more definitive to report that she was victim of a fraud than "several sources", I'm afraid. Our WP:BLP policy requires that we use impeccable sources when reporting information on living people. As to her son's adoption and death (poor Ms. Deveraux!), certainly tasteful information can be introduced, particularly as the article you link indicates that it impacted her life. The article on her is still very short, and Wikipedia tries to keep articles properly "weighted". In other words, we're supposed to try to balance articles according to what is most notable about a person and what is most discussed in sources. So we should focus mostly on her careers as a novelist, with more passing references to other biographical materials, unless those biographical materials become a major focus of press. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:31, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for , although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.Looks OK to me. 
The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.Looks OK to me. 
The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it does not need to be "brilliant". The Manual of Style does not need to be followed rigorously.Looks OK to me. 
The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content.Adequately illustrated.

message: Firstly, there shouldn't be a section titled "introduction".  If it's truly intro material, it should go into the intro on top.
About the content of the "intro" section, though: what does it mean that Korean armours are "one piece"?  From the picture's I've seen of Korean armours, it's multi-piece just like the armours in the surrounding regions.  Also the explanation following seems to imply that Korea's historical enemies are primarily China and Mongolia, and that the armour are somehow design to distinguish from them.  The first notion isn't historically accurate: like most places Korea was just as occupied with internal warfare as with its neighbours.  The second notion is also preposterous: effectiveness is always the primary concern of armour design, nobody design armours just to make them easier to distinguish from the enemy. o (talk) 13:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Construction waste

message: :Plasterboard is broken down in landfill conditions releasing hydrogen sulphide, a toxic gas.
Plasterboard is mainly calcium sulphate, and quite stable and non-toxic material. It is possible to turn sulfates into sulfides, but to do it chemically takes such extreme conditions it could not occur in landfill. It might occur biologically through the action of sulfate-reducing bacteria but these once again have unusual habitat requirements. And on the other hand, there is a much simpler explanation for hydrogen sulfide production from landfill: anaerobic bacterial digestion of many proteins will release it. -- Securiger (talk) 11:19, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I have to protest this. At the very least, there are a number of ongoing discussions in various places at the moment (Albums project, village pump, Betacommandbot-related talk pages, Wikipedia talk:Non-free content) as to whether the use of album cover images in a discography section does or does not meet the criteria established in the NFC policy. Now, I am at the fringe of this discussion and am just an observer, but I am someone who has worked long and hard to create encyclopedic articles on musical artists who do not have an adequate informational source elsewhere on the internet. Providing information about a musical artist's releases often includes providing cover artwork for those releases, either in a discography table or in an article about the release itself. In many cases this creates an important, if not the only, means of visually identifying the subject of the article in question. Again, I am not an admin nor am I deeply involved in the ongoing debate over fair use in these cases, however I am a contributor who is trying to create the best articles I can, both textually and visually. I will confine my statements to the matter at hand here. I created the discography. I feel that it may be of sufficient length to warrant branching off into an article of its own. I feel that the inclusion of cover images complements and enhances the discography providing both a visual link to the items in question and, in some cases, visual evidence that they actually exist (which, in the case of bands like this with many small independent releases, is hard to extablish). I also believe that the inclusion of these images does not violate any reasonable interpretation of fair use laws and their intention. I will continue monitoring the ongoing discussions on this topic, but if I cannot reasonably ascertain that a consensus has been reached then eventually it is likely that I will re-add the images, even if it means they will be taken out again. --IllaZilla 19:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
