thread_title: Tortoise and magic plants

message: This article has serious problems. For one, rather than spell out how specific traditions relate to one another and discussing sources, it presents a synthesized account of this material. Prior to my recently clean up, it also contained fringe elements (like references to cryptozoology) and confused myth with folklore. If what I'm seeing is any indication, the sources used for this article could use a close look. :bloodofox: (talk) 22:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Substitution splice

message: The article stated that this effect was totally done by editing and that the camera was not stopped in between shots. Although there is clear evidence that at least Melies worked hard to get an optimal cut between the two shots, it is very unlikely that he and all other practitioners kept the camera running when making changes to the scene (that would be a costly waste). The emphasis on editing in the stated sources was meant to take away the common belief that it was purely done "in camera" (as far as I can check the sources, this is only stated in reference to Melies, seemingly without considering other practitioners). None of the sources I checked did fail to mention the importance of matched framing of the mise en scene. Sources also talk about the different shots (multiple): I found nothing that suggested the effect was achieved by editing within just one single shot (which you end up with when the camera is not stopped). Possibly some examples can be found that may have been achieved by editing a single shot, although it is probably hard to proof that it actually is a single shot. It may also be quite hard to find clear examples that were ONLY made by stopping and restarting the camera, although I suppose it is much more likely that those can be found since the technique was always explained as such until some academics started pointing out the splices.
Therefore I changed some content of the page and asked for a review of the requested move below. I hope I managed to keep the source references in decent places.Joortje1 (talk) 09:44, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Helen Mar Kimball

message: Shouldn't these be included in any discussion about Helen Mar Kimball???
 
"Having a great desire to be connected with the Prophet, Joseph, he (my father) offered me to him; this I afterwards learned from the Prophet's own mouth. My father had but one Ewe Lamb, but willingly laid her upon the altar: how cruel this seemed to my mother whose heartstrings were already stretched until they were ready to snap asunder, for she had already taken Sarah Noon to wife and she thought she had made sufficient sacrifice but the Lord required more."
"[my father] left me to reflect upon it for the next twenty four hours. ... I was skeptical - one minute believed, then doubted. I thought of the love and tenderness that he felt for his only daughter, and I knew that he would not cast me off, and this was the only convincing proof That I had of its being right."
"After which he said to me, 'if you take this step, it will ensure your eternal salvation and exaltation and that of your father's household and all of your kindred.' This promise was so great that I willingly gave myself to purchase so glorious a reward."
"None but God and his angels could see my mother's bleeding heart - when Joseph asked her if she was willing, she replied 'If Helen is willing I have nothing more to say."
"She had witnessed the sufferings of others, who were older and who better understood the step they were taking, and to see her child, who had yet seen her fifteenth summer, following the same thorny path, in her mind she saw the misery which was as sure to come as the sun was to rise and set; but it was hidden from me." - Helen Mar Whitney Journal, Helen Mar Autobiography, Womans Exponent, 1880 and recently reprinted in A Woman's view
"I would never have been sealed to Joseph had I known it was anything more than ceremony. I was young, and they deceived me, by saying the salvation of our whole family depended on it." - "Mormon Polygamy: A History" by LDS member Richard S. Van Wagoner, p. 53. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.wippysnappy (talk • contribs) 22:31, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

It hurts to see so many people make things up about Joseph, i.e. being married to multiple women. Well those women got themselves sealed to him after his death.

thread_title: [[Pam Anderson|Milk]] wrangler

message: The use of the word wrangler at Cambridge wasn't abandoned in 1909 --- as of 2003, the class list for Part II of the Maths Tripos used the divisions Wranglers, Senior Optimes and Junior Optimes for people in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd classes respectively. I've edited the article to reflect this usage, and also removed the reference to the wooden spoon entirely, since the wooden spoon was given to the person getting the bottom 3rd, and by definition that person is not a wrangler.
Somebody else can dig up a reference for this, if they want. 78.105.228.107 (talk) 06:59, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, you removed sourced material and replaced it with unsourced material, so if you can't find a source, your material cannot stay until you do.  We will be glad to accept your sourced edit if it improves the accuracy of the article, but until then, the sourced version stays and the person trying to change it has the burden of proof to show their version is better.  I know that sounds a little snarky, but all you need is a source and we will be happy.  Montanabw(talk) 03:44, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: However, I think that "These titles were officially abandoned by Cambridge University in 1909." is confusing because it is not entirely clear that "these" refers to "senior wrangler" etc. Rather than "wrangler".

replies: text: Yes, I merely stumbled onto it myself, having recently worked on a group of river and mountain articles with inconsistent naming. The idea and discussion should be revived. Duja► 14:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: There's a class of mountains, (I'm talking about Slavic countries), which have the name form of Foo+ska planina/gora or, worse still in plural Foo+ske planine/gore. Foo may be practically any root, and it's often near-meaningless in the source language. See e.g. List of mountains in Serbia (plenty of redlinks). There are few options, none particularly appealing: 
* Leave them as-is: "Jezerska planina" (Lake Mountain), "Ravna planina" (Flat Mountain), "Svrljiške planine" (Svrljig Mountains) (Note: there's also a catch in WP:CAPS#Capitalization of expressions borrowed from other languages; planina should be lowercase according to that)
* Translate only the planina: "Jezerska Mountain", "Ravna Mountain", but "Svrljiške planine" can sensibly become only "Svrljig Mountains"; "Svrljiške Mountains" is plain silly.
* Discard the mountain/planina altoghether: Jezerska, Ravna, (but what about "Svrljiške"?)
Note that some mountains have seemingly established usage: Stara Planina, Fruška Gora. I'd say a similar problem can occur with rivers and lakes. Duja► 14:25, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This is an important topic, but a weak article. It spells out - accurately - the weaknesses of UU as a measure, but does not mention its strengths, when compared to even more unreliable metrics such as Page view, and provides no reference to Web analytics, which could arguably absorb both articles.

I recognise that unique visitors is a distinct term as visitor isn't the same as a user or a person, but what's the difference between "unique users" and Active users?
If there's none, probably would be best to remove redundant content related to Active users from this article and move it to Unique visitors. PaulT2022 (talk) 03:10, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
