Talk:Spontaneous order

message: If as the lead (persuasively) states this topic is the same as self-organization, why do we need two articles on the topic? Much of this article would form a useful History section in the self-organization article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:56, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why is "I, Pencil" a See also link? 

message: Hayek is said to be a conservative theorist. He never referred to himself as a conservative person, but rather and old whig or a liberal. I'm not sure why he would be a conservative theorist anyway. I fail to see the relevancy of this quite random citation of him being a conservative.
The claim that Hayek argues spontaneous order being "a more efficient allocation of societal resources than any design could achieve" does sound like Hayek. However, the citation points elsewhere. I'm sure one could find a direct citation from the man himself, instead of relying on second hand information. Similarly, "Centralized statistical data, they suppose, cannot convey this information because the statistics are created by abstracting away from the particulars of the situation.[12]" is worded as Hayeks argument, even though the citation points elsewhere. It should probably either be worded properly or a direct citation is needed, and maybe David Boaz could be mentioned to point this out etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.128.136.239 (talk) 00:02, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:John Sperling

message: Someone had to add the word "liberal". My intention was to just mention his disclosed contributions. Without having to mention exactly which "side" he's on. It doesn't have to be there, it can go under politics. I know it will offend some people that don't dabble in politics. - Jerryseinfeld 21:56, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Let's not go there

message: There is relatively little content in this article about the man's major contribution to society, the creation of the University of Phoenix. With over 400,000 students enrolled and several awards, it seems to be a glaring omission. More on U of P, less about his eccentricities.

Talk:Train Protection & Warning System

message: Could this article please explain how TPWS works?  It is linked to from Signal Passed At Danger, which (until I edited it), gave TPWS as the sole automatic method of stopping trains that pass danger signals.  In Australia, we have what are known as "train trips" which do the same thing, and I very much doubt that these are the same as TPWS, but without an explanation of how TWPS works, I cannot be certain.

Talk:2004 United States election voting controversies, Florida

message: Okay, it's a huge edit (and a lot of deleting), so here's a quick summary:
*Two images were broken and removed.
*I'm not exactly sure what a "machine shortage" is: a shortage of votes? A shortage of machines? If someone could clarify, that would be great.
*Blank sections were removed; the rest of it was condensed into a single article.
*Several links were taken out as they are no longer valid.
*There are two blatant copyright violations that have been commented out.
*"No real explanation has been given" is in the wrong tense; a more pressing problem is the use of "real" explanation, which is evidently meant to contrast with "phony" explanation.
*There can be absolutely no source for the statement that "in all cases, the overvotes are heavily in George W. Bush's favor".
*I removed the template about Florida elections, although I wouldn't object too much if someone put it back in. My rationale is that this article does not discuss an actual election, but merely alleged irregularities in one.
*I scrapped the table. It was starting to become an indiscriminate collection of information; an entire table is not needed to get to the point, which is the total number of overvotes.
I think the article may now be ready for merging. I slapped a POV tag on it just in case, anyways -- it could probably still be considered a mess. theProject 04:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

* Good question. I'm not too experienced in wiki formatting or HTML tables. I tried the html tagging it to small font, but that's just too small. Does anybody know if there is some sort of formatting that allows for 'hanging indents' (where a line can be broken like so:
 Crassula spatula

message: I am looking at a gardening book which refers to Crassula lycopodiodes as the "zipper cactus or rat tail cactus" but this page gives the epithet "rattail crassula" to another genus and species, Crassula muscosa. Does anyone know if the difference is because the binomial name has changed or simply because common names tend to vary? And is it really "muscosa" or should it be "mucosa"?
The book is "Beautiful Tabletop Gardens" by Janice Eaton Kilby, , page 123.

Talk:Arthur Ponsonby, 1st Baron Ponsonby of Shulbrede

message: Arthur Augustus William Harry Ponsonby, 1st Baron Ponsonby of Shulbrede seems more than a little extravagant to me, as a name of a page that I created as simply  for Arthur Ponsonby. If indication of such titles really must be used in the title of pages, I would vote to reduce this to Arthur Ponsonby, 1st Baron Ponsonby, or Arthur Ponsonby, 1st Baron Ponsonby of Shulbrede if that is not accurate enough, as he is almost always cited as simply  "Arthur Ponsonby" and not even "Lord Ponsonby" or "Lord Arthur Ponsonby", and leave most of Lord Arthur Augustus William Harry Ponsonby, 1st Baron Ponsonby of Shulbrede, to the introductory line of the article, not the title of it. Other than with the Kings and Queens of nations, or other heads of societies, I don't really agree with the policy of putting titles of nobility in the page names, and would much prefer they be be limited to the headings within articles. I find it hard to believe anyone actually searches using such long official titles. Even when Barons are referred to as "Lords" it is usually in a simple way, such as Lord Kelvin or Lord Acton, or Lord Tennyson. ~ Kalki 22:39, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Meta element

message: The introduction of meta elements does not make sense:
meta elements can specify HTTP headers which should be sent before the actual content when the HTML page is served from the web server to the client. For example:
The meta element is returned as part of the HTTP response body, therefore "should be sent before the actual content .... is served from the web server" does not make any sense.
Additionally, the meta element is not a substitute of, nor can it represent all kinds of http headers, but just a very limited subset.

Wikipedia talk:Multiple Redirects

message: Is the lack of following double-redirects something that's going to be fixed at some point?  Or is it a well-considered design choice, after lengthy discussion?  I find that there are a lot of cases when double redirects should exist.  For example, hydrogen bomb currently redirects to nuclear weapon.  The plural form, hydrogen bombs, should link to the singular, hydrogen bomb, but it's forced to link to nuclear weapon instead.  In cases where the single-redirect may be a valid article topic, the double-redirect will often want to redirect to it.  -- Creidieki 13:02, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Can someone explain if there is a legal difference as to why some images are allowed, but not all, in one case even within a single publisher?
From my post to the deletor's talk page:
Def FX album cover images
Why were these images deleted? I uploaded them so the wikipedia discography could be complete, so how are the circumstances different? Looking at the page again 2, I can see that two of the images were released by different publishers compared with extant and apparently allowed images. But the cover for Surge EP was also published by Phantom records, so surely if they have released images for all their other Def FX releases then they would have for this one too?
Also: Does it make any difference that the scans were of personal, autographed copies? They were in faint gold ink in the scans, just visible.
Cheers!
