message: :Licensing under GFDL and CC-BY-SA. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

message: As 'bot stubs go, this ain't a bad start.  The Gussow obit. cited conveys a decent-enough precis of Jack--at least as I knew (and knew of) him.  There's vastly more re. his influence as a teacher of the stage, and I hope he is eventually credited with his due in that aspect of his career.  Jack was so gentle and Socratic, it's easy to recollect of him in workshop as the collegial mentor.  But that was his subtle way.  Actually, he saw right through your bullshit if you were trying to talk over a plot fault or weak moment of characterization after a read-through.  You couldn't fool Jack.

message: I've reinserted the clean-up tag on this article as it still needs major reworking to comply to Wikipedia standards. The most glaring issue from a stylistic point is the lack of sections, it essentially reads like a biographical book, not an encyclopedia article. It also does not comply to with Neutral point of view standards and does not include reliable sources. Please leave the tag up until the article can be cleaned up substantially  - it is not a critism of the current article, it invites more eyes to the page in order to help raise the standard of the article...and isn't that why we're all here?

Talk:Jeannine Parvati Baker

message: The "teachings" or "philosophy" or whatever it's being called sections actually may include some third-party sources that could be used here. Some of the sources added just look to be blogs and personal websites, so those aren't usable, but the ones that are in books or more stable websites might be, depending on the content and context. The main problem is the unencyclopedic nature of the text, the loooooooong quotes, far too many quotes, and the constant hyperbole and original research. If someone wants to read those sources and incorporate them in a way that adds to the article in a concise and encyclopedic manner, or to just use them to replace primary sources, that would be fine. But the way they've been added in recent edits is not salvageable. It's not fair to expect other editors to go through all that in search of something encyclopedic. I think Baker's notability is really borderline. I guess she passes the "college professor test", if we're still using that. But I've seen far more well-known people not included. Just saying. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 23:22, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Dental anesthesia

message: Local anaesthesia is divided into blocks and infiltrations in dentistry (and in medecine AFAIK).  Blocks are a made by which regional anaesthesia is produced by introducing the agent to the trunk of a nerve branch, thereby blocking the transmission of sensation from all tributary branches, an example being the inferior alveolar (dental) nerve block and another example being the lingual nerve block.  The other commonly used form of anaesthesia is infiltration in which the agent is introduced to the area in which the anaesthesia is desired, thus blocking transmission more peripherally than in the case of a block.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Internationalised curriculum

message: Well how did this get so out of control???
Praht Thai is a school just like:
List of schools in Thailand  42 of these listed schools (blue links) have Wiki Pages.....how so different?....no notability or anything like we are being asked to provide
These are all happily listed with articles all beautifully left in peace...so why the Praht Thai Target???  Will these now be all summarily deleted or will Praht Thai SchoolItalic text be allowed back up?
It cannot be sensible that the prime reason for agreeing to delete an article is that someone had deleted it before and then it was reposted. 
What? Did someone take offense to the repost of a legitinmate article and dig their editing heels in?  But alals I see from the above that it is the main reason for deletion...."someone had previously deleted it and look the naughty people put it back...how dare they!"
Oh, and please stop quoting Wikipedia guidleines...they are followed only when justifying a negative action. No reasonableness ensures - discussions on this site have lasted 1 hour and been by one or two editors only - see the Praht Thai Schools Disccussion page...which is where it is supposed to be discussed.....I only just found this page here thanks to a courteous editor who let us know about it.
By the way I have read many of the home pages of the editors who eem to have targeted our site and I must say juvenile opinion abounds in many. One "editor" even stated that including of a certain information type was not to be tolerated calling it "bollocks" - so it seems his view takes precedence over consensus - well why not I believe he was almost 22 years old and so I guess is the holder of the key of knowledge and understanding.
Please help me understand this attitude before we totally give up on Wikipedia as a resource worth considering any further. PTSch (talk) 09:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:John Corriden

message: I believe that John Corriden was also on the 1945 Dodgers for at least a short bit. Perhaps he was brought up from the minor leagues and then sent back down without entering a game. My proof is a signed Dodger Baseball from the 1945 season. There are 19 signatures on the baseball. All were with the Dodgers in 1945. Only 9 of the 19 players on the ball were with the team in 1946, the only year you list Corriden as playing. I suppose this is a minor issue, but I did want to make others aware of this.

Talk:Solent Blue Line

message: I have noticed that someone has recently changed all mention of the word "bluestar" to begin with a capital "B". Unless I am mistaken, the name should begin with a lower case "b", as this is what the brand was intended to be. (Similar to "iPod" etc.) This is confirmed by the Solent Blue Line website, which apart from some examples on the news page, all the other pages (Times, fares and home) begin with a lower case "b".
This is the same with the bluestar website, which again has the odd rogue capital "B", but in the majority of cases (home, fares and "What is bluestar" pages), it is lower case.
As a result, I have changed the names back to bluestar. However, I have left the examples of "baby bluestar" as they are, as the previous examples of "babybluestar" were incorrect. -- Arriva436 (talk) 20:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the Bluestar to begin with a capital 'B' as that is how Solent Blue Line present the name in text on their Bluestar site, they use a small 'b' in the graphics on the website but in every other case except a few examples on a the fares page it is with a capital 'B'.  Also Nightstar is consistently presented with a capital 'N' but the graphic is a small 'n'. Red Fox (talk) 20:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I can see, most examples are in fact with a lower case b. There is only one example on the home page of a capital "B", the other 3 are "b". The same is with the Solent Blue Line, where as I said before, all examples on the home page, times and fares are with a lower case "b". The news updates vary, but that is presumably as they are written by different people, who get confused. On the "Nightstar" front, this is probably so they go with the "Nitebus" services that First runs (they may have ceased now). And of course as you say the bluestar logo is with a lowercase "b", as can be seen on the Cadet that illustrates the article. -- Arriva436 (talk) 22:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Like I said the graphics (logo and menu options which are gif images) on the Bluestar site are in lower case but in the text are generally have a capital 'B' including the company contact details with exception of two examples on the fares page and few on the news page.  Go-Ahead use Blue Star or Bluestar.  The latest Solent Blue Line logo is now lower case, should that be written as solent blue line? Same with National Express Red Fox (talk) 14:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have been sad enough to count up all of the examples!!! Excluding the graphics, the total of both the SBL and Bluestar webistes is that "Bluestar" beats "bluestar" by three. Excluding the hap-hazard news page examples, "bluestar" wins by a mile. However, as it is so close, doesn't make much odds, and it is eaiser with a capital, I shall change them back to "Bluestar". -- Arriva436 (talk) 20:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
