message: At this point it's not really clear to me what the benefit is from having separate articles about "rogue planet" and "interstellar planet".  The nomenclature is not absolutely fixed, but right now neither article makes any clear distinction between those two terms.  Kevin Nelson 04:41, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, I think there should be a merge. Until about last week, someone had an entry here that mentioned that Rogue Planet could also mean a planet with a highly elliptical orbit or orbit off of the ecliptic. That was recently removed (lack of verifiablity). Personally, I think Rogue Planet is a much more common term (but my background in this regard comes from Science Fiction, where the term Rogue Planet is used more, probably because it sounds cooler than interstellar planet).

Talk:Aulus Didius Gallus Fabricius Veiento

message: As much as I like adding quotations to an article, this needs more meat between the quotations. For instance, his dedication from Mainz states he was three times a consul, but only the second is reported either directly (at List of Roman consuls), a suffect at AD 80 (AE 1948, 56); the first must have fallen between 62 & 80. This inscription indirectly reports he was consul a third time between 80 & 97. This indicates he was suffect consul three times, always a bridesmaid but never a bride. It would be interesting to find a discussion of the dynamics between achieving a suffect consulship & ordinary consulship, & whether being a suffect three times was not some kind of snub. -- llywrch (talk) 20:47, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  "western horizon" 

message: I was reading the double sunset article and see that for that phenomena to work that you need to be far enough to the north or south of the equator that the apparent path of the Sun draws an angle across the sky. What's the name of this angle?  The azimuth is the angle from north to where the Sun is.  The altitude (also known as the elevation) is the angle from the horizon up to the Sun (or down below the horizon if the Sun is no longer visible. Is there a word that's for the tilt or angle of the Sun's apparent movement across the sky with respect to the horizon?  When I've been just south of the Arctic circle in the summertime the Sun appears to move westward or from left to right in a circle around me. At noon it's a bit above the horizon and is at its highest altitude/elevation. Sunset is shortly before midnight where the Sun skims a little bit below the horizon (the sky stays lit) for a bit, and then is visible as sunrise is starts less than an hour after sunset. What at the equator the Sun appears to sink straight down into the horizon. Those are the two extremes for the angle of the Sun relative to the horizon.  Above the Arctic circle the Sun never sets bit there's still an angle between its highest point at noon) and lowest point at midnight. --Marc Kupper|talk 05:08, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:German revolution of 1918–1919

message: I started the update to these 2 sections as an exercise in providing sources but ended up needing to change a fair amount of material that was mis-stated, wrong or missing, specifically: the seats by party in the 1912 Reichstag were inaccurate; most SPD party papers in 1914 were anti-war, not pro-war; several sources contradict the (unsourced) statement that the Reich planned to arrest SPD leaders at the start of the war; Liebknecht didn't abstain on the first war bonds vote, he adhered to party discipline and voted 'yea'; the 'dictatorial' role of Hindenburg and Ludendorff was exaggerated (and unsourced) and left out the important fact that they had to modify their original plans due to popular pushback; the January strike of 1918 was put in the wrong months and had inaccurate numbers; and what the Emperor promised in the Easter Address was somewhat mis-stated. Besides correcting those errors, adding sources and changing some wording, I deleted the last 2 paragraphs of the first section because there was too much about Liebknecht not pertinent to the overall topic.
I plan to continue working through the article to provide sources and make corrections as needed along the way. GHStPaulMN (talk) 13:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  SPD and the World War 

message: Besides adding sources: changed short description; changed infobox date for the second stage of the revolution to remove overlap with first stage; broke the Revolution main section into 2 parts to reflect the infobox and make it clear what the two stages of the revolution were.
Significantly shortened the section on the Kiel Mutiny, most of which was word-for-word what's in the main article on it. That's where the detailed information belongs rather than here.
Most of the rest of the changes were rephrasing and reordering where the narrative wasn't all that well structured.
To be continued. Any feedback on what I've done? GHStPaulMN (talk) 13:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations / corrections #2 (26 Feb 2024) 

message: A request has been made to rename "Soviet Republic of Saxony" to "Saxony in the German Revolution (1918–1919)". With the renaming, "Soviet Republic of Saxony" would be removed from this page's infobox.

thread_title:  Request to rename "Soviet Republic of Saxony" 

message: Now that I've finished adding sources and making changes associated with that exercise, I still have some additional work I think should be done. For one, the background sections are too long and contain material that has little or nothing to do with the lead-up to the revolution (most notably the 'Russian Revolution' section, which could be reduced to two or three sentences). The page as a whole also reads at times a bit like a series of mini-articles and could be smoothed out and tightened up. 
Given the relative importance of this page, I plan to take those up next. Feedback, suggestions, etc. welcomed. GHStPaulMN (talk) 18:21, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

message: I've changed "Chart" to "Charter" in the history section, but I'm not certain I've got that correct.  The article appears to be translated and "chart" doesn't really fit.

Talk:William Rathje

message: Not only is this a stub, I wonder if in fact this person is quite important enough to have their own wikipedia article.  it sounds like something I could write about myself or my father, without any real consequence to humankind.  Perhaps if he'd at least published a book (even a textbook) or was the head of several organizations?  I'm not trying to put William Rathje down in any way, but there's  a threshhold of importance for Wikipedia articles, and I'm not convinced by the current content that he meets it.  I'm also wondering about his inclusion on the Notable Alumni page for the University of Arizona.  Short point:  Make me understand why he's more important than any random person I can meet on a college campus.  Then he's worth a Wikipedia article and inclusion on Notable alumni (which is not intended to be a list of all degrees received by all wikipedians who graduated from the UofA).  --ABQCat 11:42, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Is the title of the movie genuinely uncapitalised? Okay, so it's on the poster, big deal. People take artistic license with posters, that's how we get stuff like eyeballs instead of Os. Do we transcribe the eyeballs? No, we just call them Os. IMDb calls the film Sex, Lies and Videotape. - Vague | Rant 03:47, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
:Here's the link to Soderbergh's script for the film, which titles it in lower case:   < http://members.aol.com/rwsmittjr/scripts/sex_lies_and_videotape.txt > For what it's worth, Amazon lists it in lower case and I have seen it that way in other film guides.  There is a clear difference between an author's choice among the standard ways in which a letter can be represented (upper vs. lower case) and the choice to represent a letter as another object; this is tantamount to spelling out a number rather than representing it with numerals.  I'd respect the author's choice here and chalk up other forums' failure to do so to their not attending or caring enough to do so.  By the way, if someone could tell me how to enter my user name and time/date of entry automatically, I'd appreciate it.  -- "Major Danby" June 6, 2005
