Talk:KTEP

message: I've re-added the country to the article for several reasons.
# It is relatively standard practice on Wikipedia for any discussion of locations to include the country for context.
# It is good writing to inform the reader of the country that a location is in, something that is true for most forms of writing; journalism, report writing, any kind of factual writing. Only news reports intended for a small local area would omit the country in an article, international newspapers, news sources and even domestic ones talking about other countries would include the country.
# Wikipedia is an international encyclopaedia, not a US encyclopaedia. The majority of readers are outside of the United States and you cannot assume geographical knowledge on them. It's like talking about Newtownards, a place not everyone outside its home location would know about without clicking on the link and going on a tangent. It gives context to the article, as not everyone knows all geography. Ben W Bell talk 13:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a U.S. based station.  It's categorized as a U.S. station.  There are numerous links to other articles that include geographic information.  Including the country just seems superfluous to me.   Do you intend to update several thousand articles on radio stations?  I dont recall seeing country information on any I've come across. --Rtphokie (talk) 01:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it's categorised as a US station, but a reader doesn't want to have to wait until they scroll to the bottom of the page to figure out where somewhere is talking about. I add country information where relevant to any articles I come across that are missing it. Remember Wikipedia is not a US encyclopaedia, it is a global encyclopaedia to be accessible by people from all over the world and not centred around one country. Adding the country removes nothing and adds everything. A random sampling of radio stations from other countries shows me they have the country, it's only the US ones that don't because they've mainly been added by US editors who (and no rascist or other implication is meant here) seem more likely to not put the country on articles based in the US for one reason or another. That does tend to get fixed sooner or later, but it's a fact of Wikipedia. Also a random sampling of the radio stations in Texas category shows that roughly half already do include the country (though on some it should be tidied a bit) while the otehr rough half doesn't.

thread_title:  Dragonforce 

message: Hi, there. I wish to note that pretty much EVERY "drop tuning" article ought to be purged. They cannot even achieve consistent naming: Dropped A tuning, Drop B tuning, Drop C tuning. They are all just needless takeoffs of Drop D tuning.
As with the case at hand, there's a huge long list of fanboy trivia, almost entirely unsourced. Per the citations needed header,
::Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
What little remains is largely fansite-type essayism, and definitely not suitable for an encyclopedic article. Per the original research header,
::Statements consisting only of original research should be removed.
Once any such removals are made, the unsourced material CANNOT simply be reverted back without a clear and credible citation indicating its source.
And the only reason that Drop D tuning is any better than its bastards is that "drop-D" has been in real-world use for centuries as a way of easily tweaking standard EADGBE guitar tuning. (Lowering the standard tuning — whether via scale length or more courses or thicker strings — then "dropping" the lowest string a full tone IS NOT ENOUGH to make it somehow "a thing.") That article, though lacking the Notables listings of fancruft, is almost entirely original research pedantry stuffed with jargon.
Altogether, all these "articles" could be packed easily back into Guitar tunings. And don't let me start ranting about Open A tuning and its siblings…Weeb Dingle (talk) 01:58, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Alfred Peet

message: "drinking coffee that came out of a can" – What does the container have to do with anything? I suppose what was really meant, may have been: "ready ground coffee" in contrast to "freshly roasted and ground", but since I'm not a coffee junkie I have no way of knowing. Furthermore, I cannot understand why a small can with high quality coffee, perfectly roasted and ground with precision should be detrimental. The real reason why Peet's stuff is considered superior to readily available standard American supermarket consumer grade coffee by some people is sadly lacking from the article. --BjKa (talk) 10:51, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Where? I dug through the current page and four archived pages and I saw no discussion at all that pointed to the desire for a separate page on "Python philosophy." This article is worthless. It merely copies verbatim a PEP. Not only is the PEP pure fluff, but the verbatim copying of it to this site is not encyclopedic. "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files," says Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. There is even Wikipedia:Don't include copies of primary sources. I would edit this article to make it something worthwhile, but the simple fact is there is NO notable "Python Philosophy" that is worthy of an entire article on the subject. But, if this has been discussed before I would happily accept a link to that discussion because I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks it's silly to copy PEPs to Wikipedia.

I personally tend to think the article is worth keeping, but if consensus is against that opinion, I'm not that attached to this article.

There is no doubt he is a notable person.  
I think people looking at such pages should read them and maybe Google a little before they slap labels on them.  Or maybe we need a different label to say "checked and accepted as NPOV on (date)"  I am going to pull off the label.
