Talk:Charles C. Campbell (general)

message: This article currently has just one stated source, the official U.S. military bio for Charles C. Campbell. As with some other military bio articles, I see at least two problems: 1.) the official U.S. military bios are likely to be slanted, in that they do not convey information that would reflect poorly on the military (compare the official bio of Frank Kelso, involved in the Tailhook scandal, vs. a better written wikipedia article on him using several other sources), and 2.) the article does not show which material is copied. Copied material should be in quotes (quotation marks or set in block quote formatting), to separate from wikipedia editor wording of consensus views and to separate from new Original Research that may creep in as the article is edited over time.  Hence I mark this article with the "refimprove" tag.
This is not an issue of copyright violation, I believe that the source is public domain. It is an issue of proper referencing, including avoiding the appearance of plagiarizing, but for other good referencing reasons as well. There are other perspectives than mine on some of these details.  See Talk at WP:REF for other current discussion. doncram (talk) 17:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference improvements needed 

message: This so called General is a real POS. He ducked the blame for Wanat and hung  the Lt. in charge of the forward operating base out to dry.  I hope to God that enough people see the Dateline article about how the Army left these guys at a FOB that was undefensable with no air or ground support to die. 9 killed and 29 wounded because of Army stupidity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.178.80.43 (talk) 03:03, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Who's Who

message: IS WHO's WHO for Real?   
I would like to pose the question whether or not they have in fact nominated anyone for possilbe inclusion in the Who's Who biographical books?  
I was "nominated" last spring for the American Teacher book but my wife insists that these nominations are suspect and that the company's motivation was to get me to buy the book (min $100.00). I have to agree that their refusal to divulge which of my former students nominated me validates her view. If the publisher really wanted to be taken seriously why don't they indicate to the nomineee who nominated them? Not to do so otherwise raises the spector of misleading the public, yes? 
If there are people out there who have nominated their former teachers, or who have heard from former students that they were in fact nominated, I would like to hear about it.

Talk:Modern Library 100 Best Nonfiction

message: I rewrote it as a summary, not an infringing list. The list itself is copyrighted, I'm afraid. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 14:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: In an apparent attempt to appear “fair“ the article diverts into irrelevant subject matter. The article needs a brief statement identifying the members of the board Modern Library selected and the criteria used by Modern Library in selecting them. It should also state  any particular procedure followed or criteria applied  by the members of the board in selecting the ”100 Bedt Non-Fiction Books.”
The diversion into the 100 favorite books of Aun Rand disciples devalues the article, reducing it to a tit-tat fluff piece about cultural division. A separate article may be in order about the sociological ramifications of selections of “canons,” and the  and any contribution of such selections to cultural divisiveness, as well as any contributions of such selections to legitimate pedagogy. Discussion of “The Great Books of the Western World” series would be appropriate in such an article. A list of books chosen by Ayn Rand’s  Objectivists might bear discussion, as well, if an objective criteria for selecting or identifying the “electors” and their criteria for selecting books could be distilled into a system of guidance beyond “I liked it.” But attempting to cram that discussion into what should be a brief article for identifying, for encyclopedic purposes only, the Modern Library’s 100 Best series defeats the encyclopedic function of the article.

message: Fixed directions as noted on the cleanup banner and removed the banner.  Also deleted empty table of highways from this page...feel free to put it back if it serves a purpose here.  When I fixed the "NW/SE" and variants, I used the convention that even-numbered roads run E/W and odd-numbered roads run N/S, so if there is any exception to this convention, it will need to be fixed.

replies: text: Texas doesn't follow that convention at all, the highways were numbered in the order they were designated regardless the direction they ran.

There are 4 related articles for the state now: Michigan Highway System, List of Interstate Highways in Michigan, List of U.S. Highways in Michigan, List of Michigan trunklines. There are additional lists for the county-designated highways and the heritage routes as well. The system article describes the whole system, leaving the details on the specific highways to the lists. (I plan on adding full leads to all three lists, but that's the last step so I can preserve them for a combination DYK hook.) For TX, obviously you'd end up with addition lists for the various types of highway all linked into the system article. Imzadi 1979 → 07:00, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved as proposed.

replies: text: Prime Video →  – Even though "Amazon" is not in the official logo for the service, whenever the service is mentioned, people usually just refer to it by saying "Amazon Prime" or simply "Amazon". Obviously neither of those phrases can be the title of this article, but "Amazon Prime Video" encompasses everything needed for the name of the streaming service, especially "Amazon".

thread_title: SUGGESTED SOLUTION

message: I hope my comments can resolve any dispute involving Barnabas' "personality". In the episode where Barnabas is preparing for his duel with his uncle Jeremiah, Barnabas is discussing with Angelique why he insisted on a duel. He said: "I will not sit here accepting this, hating to be with anybody because I know, whoever it is, will be thinking 'Poor, Barnabas...' I will not be 'Poor, Barnabas...'! I won't even think of what's right or wrong, I must move, ACT, I must to do something!" This points out that Barnabas had a tendency to respond to stressful events with impulsive actions and this had nothing to do with his vampirism. He loved Josette, but when he thought it was over between them, he turned to a torrid affair with Angelique, although it could just as easily been someone else. When speaking to the ghost of his sister, he claimed he only killed when there was "no other way" but Sarah boldly told him "That's not true, Barnabas...". So, I hope this helps. Barnabas is very much like his father, Joshua, who is harsh and uncompromising, but Barnabas is far more impulsive and usually does things without first thinking about them thoroughly; or perhaps he really doesn't care, just as long as he is satisfied. This might be what Jonathan Frid meant when he said that Barnabas lied to himself.MARK VENTURE (talk) 18:02, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

message: From the article on Alternative weekly:
An alternative weekly is a type of weekly newspaper that eschews... 
(snip)
The typical alternative weekly is tabloid-sized and printed on newsprint.
This would indicate that alt weeklies are indeed newspapers, and front page images added to such articles should be tagged with . However, sometimes the distinction is not clear, as some publications which could be described as altweeklies (often members of the Association Of Allternative Newsweeklies) intentionally brand themselves as "magazines". The tabloid format of altweeklies gives them a similar size to most magazines, but I would suggest that any publication printed on newsprint (and usually without staples or binding) meets the definition of a newspaper, regardless of branding, but I'm sure some would disagree. Also, not being able to hold a physical copy in my hands of far away publications mean I really don't know whether or not they have bindings or are printed on newsprint. I guess I'm just hoping someone could offer a bit of insight here. Since I've been adding front page images to many newspaper and altweekly articles, I'd like to know if I'm using the correct fair use rationale to comply with WP:FU, and perhaps should be using  instead. Of course, if the two rationales are interchangable then this may all be just pointlessly semantic. Any thoughts? -Tobogganoggin talk 01:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals.

*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
