message: Just a note about this, the editor in chief of JURIST edits on Wikipedia as User:Bernard Hibbitts, normally adding links to JURIST entries.  The entries I've seen in the topic of which I am knowledgeable are pretty high quality, so I didn't dissuade him, though I did give a mild caution and directed him to look through WP:SPAM.  He's interested in doing more work with Wikimedia projects, so perhaps people might be interested in checking in with him or the Signpost may want to interview him about why JURIST, as a Webby winner, uses Wikipedia as a reference. - BanyanTree 16:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Removed the following bit of idiotic vandalism:
Chad is where all the hard people go to mug people and steal things. Crack sales are on the up showing a promising return from the kappa crash back in 96. As well as Chaddesdens' booming economy chad has an exciting feel. Every walk down Notts road is an adventure. The birth to death ratio shows a growing population. Due to high figures in teen pregnancies. However the death rate has been predicted to rise due to the falling prices of AK47s.
We might all think it who know Chad, but this is an encyclopedia and it isn't the place for this sort of rubbish.  Take it to Knowhere.com if you really feel you've got to subject the world to your razor wit.  - Taskis 20:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Stuckist photographers

message: Is "Stuckism Photography" a collective of some sort or is it a genre of photography? The reason I ask is that if it is a collective, it is in the wrong category and if it is a genre, then the title is wrong. Thanks. Recury 17:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have moved the article from "Stuckism Photography" to "Stuckist Photographers", as it is primarily about a group with the latter name, which is the one used on their web site.

message: This article doesn't really say much about what makes Stuckist Photographers a distinct group.

thread_title:  vital dates 

message: I don't see much discussion on the deletion page.  There is a single claim that the page does not meet the standards for notability.  This page seems to contain a lot of information, however.  Does the information not have valid sources?  What, if any, of the information is suitable for inclusion on wikipedia?  The redirect to God Didn't Give Me a Week's Notice is a feeble reduction--it cuts out all of the information.  It seems ridiculous, in my opinion, to have a wikipedia page about a documentary about a person, but no wikipedia page about the person itself.  Shouldn't it be the other way around?  If the information does not fit the standards of wikipedia then the information should be removed but I think the "solution" of redirecting this page to the documentary's page is a bit absurd.  I think these points need to be explained in a debate.  If they are adequately addressed, I have no problem with deleting the offending information, or the page if it comes to that.  Cazort (talk) 04:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Deletion

message: I disagree with the outcome of the AfD, which shows little editor participation, not enough to establish consensus.  I had no trouble finding sources to establish notability:
*  (ny times article, mentions the film in a couple paragraph,s but the article is primarily about Holloway)
*  (hartford courant article, not public access, but primarily about Holloway, not the film)
I think the combination of these two sources, which are written directly about her, and the documentary (which was directly about her and which has been summarized / discussed in numerous reliable sources) solidly establish notability.  The page also was blanked and redirected--and much of the content (biographical in nature) was deleted (not included on the page for the film).  Do people think it's reasonable to restore / reconstruct this page as a page of its own?  Cazort (talk) 18:46, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Little Criminals (film)

message: Why does wikipedia doesn't want an article about this movie? Is it because it had licence issues?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by repsaj (talk • contribs) .
It isn't that Wikipedia wants to delete the article, it's just that, I, a fellow editor first nommed it for speedy.  Not because of license issues.  My reasoning is that because it wasn't released, it's not notable enough to warrant it's own article.  However, another editor thought it should not be speedily deleted.  Since that was the case, I decided to basically bring it up for peer review, through a process called "deletion review".  For 5 days anyone interested can discuss the merits of the article, and whether or not it should stay on Wikipedia.  Your input in the discussion is welcomed. TheRingess 17:51, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Tempuri

message: http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.html#_Toc492291095
"When working with WSDL, it is sometimes desirable to make up a URI for an entity, but not make the URI globally unique for all time and have it "mean" that version of the entity (schema, WSDL document, etc.). There is a particular URI base reserved for use for this type of behavior. The base URI "http://tempuri.org/" can be used to construct a URI without any unique association to an entity. For example, two people or programs could choose to simultaneously use the URI "http://tempuri.org/myschema" for two completely different schemas, and as long as the scope of the use of the URIs does not intersect, then they are considered unique enough. This has the further benefit that the entity referred to by the URI can be versioned without having to generate a new URI, as long as it makes sense within the processing context. It is not recommended that "http://tempuri.org/" be used as a base for stable, fixed entities."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.129.65.178 (talk) 22:53, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

message: On what basis these classifications have been made? For example, Kanyakubja and Saryupareen Brahmins have been dubbed under the category Kanyakubja Brahmins!!! On what basis? No authoritative source of classification has been mentioned except a never-heard-of shloka.
On what basis all these Brahmin communities are classified? Only God has the authority to distinguish individuals on the basis of their Karmas. No where in the Vedas such classifications are Mentioned. These are created by cheap thugs who did not want others go ahead of them.
This Brahmin Community is absolute and created by Humans who are not authorized by GOD to do such classifications on their own. Who gave the individual human or group of humans such authority? Was such a classification by birth approved by GOD?
I agree with the argument absolutely. The classification is superfluous and simply regional. It must not have any more implications. Brahmins must learn to behave as one original community--otherwise they have already fallen to great depths. They must realise their oneness and resurrect with effulgence.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.105.148 (talk) 18:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
