Talk:William Leslie

message: ----
WP:MOSDAB explicitly permits the use of redlinks in disambiguation pages. Nowhere does it say that more than one of the entries must have a blue-linked article; it only says that there should be *some* bluelink for each entry on the page. All of the redlinks are linked from other articles, and have a reasonable probability of being written at some time, the criteria suggested by MOSDAB.
Even before such articles are created, disambiguation pages with multiple redlinks serve a useful function by collecting all the *different* uses of that term linked in a particular article. The existence of a central directory of these uses helps authors avoid creating multiple disambiguated titles for an article about the same person or thing. Unless you can cite chapter and verse of policy prohibiting the creation of dab pages with some redlinks, please stop creating extra work and annoying other editors by deleting them. Choess (talk) 22:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Disambiguation pages aren't for lists of suggestions for future articles.  The dab guidelines for redlinks do not explicitly permit all uses of redlinks: the redlinked entry still needs a blue link, and that blue link needs to cover the subject of the entry. User-space pages or WP:LIST articles (if encyclopedic) can serve the "collection" use you describe.  Disambiguation pages serve to disambiguate existing articles. -- JHunterJ (talk) 00:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Template talk:Short Brothers aircraft

message: I started putting the names in lexical order and numbers in numerical order, so that the template delivers what it promises "By name
(alphabetical)". I assume that meant in alphabetical order.
However I stopped at S.45 Seaford due to confusing redirects. (it redirects to Short Sunderland which mentions S.45 under "Sunderland Mark IV" which in turn points to Short Seaford).

Questions like "why do they do it?", "how long do they do it?", "which species participate?", "what times of the day/year do they do it?" are ones that come to mind.

thread_title: Proposed deletion

message: While the reasoning behind raptors forming kettle before migration is not well understood, there's a seemingly simple explanation. While it appears the birds are coordinating with each other by the thousands, almost flying on top of each other in some instances, there is actually no group reasoning behind this behavior. When the birds form this group kettle, their goal is solely self guided, and all aspects of the group flight are to take advantage of aerodynamics, so each bird migrates under favorable conditions.

Talk:Antoine Le Claire

message: For the town of Portage De Sioux, in St. Charles County, Mo.  There is a Street named for him, LeClaire Street, running off of main in front of the Catholic Church.  I cannot remember the years, however I was told of this by my Grandmother, Marie Louise LeClaire Anderson of Davenport IA, who was his great, great grand-niece.  According to my somewhat faulty memory my grandmother told me he spent almost 2 years in Portage De Sioux as Justice of the Peace before heading to Arkansas.  My family has some documentation that I will try to locate and scan in and upload.  Also my family has a charcoal portrait of him which has been in our family for over 90 years that I know of.  I will have some decent photos taken of it and upload them as well.  If anyone has further information or is related to me through Antoine LeClaire, please send me a message through Wikipedia.

Talk:Confederate Monument of Bowling Green

message: The phrasing of "A lithograph of a painting popular in the Reconstruction-South, Henry Mosler's "Lost Cause", which typified the devastation Northern invaders inflicted upon Southern homesteads, was placed on the front of the monument. Different reliefs are on other sides of the monument" concerns me, as it implies that the lithograph was an original part ofthe monument.  However, if the monument was erected in 1876, and lithography was invented in 1890, then it's not a lithograph, or it's not original.  Has anyone got any thoughts on this?

message: *This category was listed for deletion on March 14, 2005. No clear consensus to support deletion at this time. The following is the relevant discussion and should not be modified in order to maintain an accurate historical record.
:Category:Paraphilia
This should be merged with :Category:Sexual fetishism.  The two categories already overlap quite a bit, and I don't think it's possible to make a clear, NPOV distinction.  "Paraphilia" carries a negative, medical connotation; "Sexual fetishism" I think is mostly interpreted as having positive or negative connotations depending on whether or not you approve of the practice(s). -- Beland 07:58, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Taking a cursory look through :Category:Paraphilia, the only fetish I could find was plushophile (there may be others .. I didn't look to closely).  There do appear, however, to be several members of :Category:Sexual fetishism that shouldn't really be there.  From what I've read in the articles here, fetishes are a form of paraphilia where the sexual attraction is to an inanimate object, or a specific body part.  The common usage of fetish, however, seems to be synonomous with paraphilia - so that's where a lot of the categorization confusion is coming from, I think. --Azkar 05:12, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: The sexual fetish article says that's how Freud described them - but you are right, the common usage is as a synonym.  Emetophilia (vomit-attraction) is described in its article as a sexual fetish, but is under Paraphilia; there are a number of things under sexual fetishism that don't involve inanimate objects, like Infantilism.  Paraphilia describes a fetish as involving only a physical object, not mentioning body-part attraction.  I'm not sure it's entirely useful to make any particular distinction, or perhaps a different approach might be more useful.  Like "sexual attractions involving inanimate objects", "sexual attractions involving body parts", "sexual attractions involving animals", etc.  These have the benefit of being clear-cut and also value-neutral. -- Beland 08:07, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: Currently too much overlap between the two categories.  No opinion right now as to whether or not :Category:Paraphilia should be deleted, though if the overlap is eliminated I'm leaning towards keep.  -Sean Curtin 00:15, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
