Talk:The Mike Douglas Show

message: Didn't Douglas have a gimmick in which he'd always show off the fancy lining of his suit coat or something like that at the start of every show? ... or was that Merv Griffin?

thread_title: Guest list has to go

message: It is amazing that an article could be created in 2004, involving several editors and four projects, many current year edits, contains a "no reference" career tag since 2009, and there is to date not one reference. There are even comments to create a spin off article!! I am still pretty new at this but someone will have to explain the reasoning behind a thought or desire to create a second non-referenced article from another article that shows no references but contains external links that are actually masked references. Considering there has been no effort to improve this article I am inclined to just nominate it for an AFD but as per my practice I would like to see any possible comments first. It is amazing that an article has survived for over seven years while being the epitome of a bad article. The five pillars, that contain the fundamental principles of Wikipedia, does cover verifiable sources, and this article fails this as well as all three core content policies. If there are any editors watching this page I would hope to at least have a dialog before reaching a conclusion of direction. I will also take a look at the links in the article to see if this is wide-spread. Otr500 (talk) 16:07, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  reruns and money 

message: I have recently made some clarifications regarding the end of the show on CBS and its return in syndication via Metromedia, complete with sources. Basically: Griffin didn't secretly sign a contract with MM prior to CBS canceling the program. And, CBS didn't cancel it. Griffin and CBS mutually agreed to part, then Griffin signed with MM. Griffin did his last CBS show one month before moving back to syndication.
User:BlueboyLINY seems to believe that these changes are non-constructive and has reverted them to his factually-inaccurate "preferred" version. He has also put back in s couple of source links which were deleted from my last revision when he reverted, and now seeks to claim credit for them. If there is a reason for doing so, please explain.

Talk:Eugene Island block 330 oil field

message: This article is, at the very least, misnamed. Eugene Island is an actual island along the coast of Louisiana., not a "submerged mountain." The US Minerals Management Service uses the designation "Eugene Island" for a large swath of federal waters extending offshore from the Louisiana coast, and they split the area into numbered blocks for oil leasing purposes. Eugene Island block 330 and its namesake oil field are many miles south of the original Eugene Island from which it derives its name. (I have not seen a topographic chart of the sea floor around EI 330, but the idea of a "submerged mountain" off the coast of Louisiana seems overdramatic, to say the least.) There are dozens of other oil fields named after their Eugene Island blocks: Eugene Island 77, Eugene Island 110, and Eugene Island 205, to name just three picked off a map of offshore oil fields. If this article is not deleted, it should at least be accurately named: "Eugene Island block 330 oil field". Plazak (talk) 19:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I just tried to get the number of cubic meters per day or year... but 482.000 million?! It is like 4820 hundred millions or so.. It seems to be ~13,64 billion cubic meters a year? Greetings Kilon22 (talk) 14:40, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The linked source indeed says 482,000 million cubic feet per day: "Maximum fieldwide daily production of 95,290 bbl of liquids and 482,000 mmcf of gas was attained in 1977 (Figure 8)." But you are right, that is far too much Examining the graph for Figure 8, the text seems be in error, and should read "mcf" (thousand cubic feet) rather than "mmcf" million cubic feet.

Template talk:Commons-inline

message: Right now, when this template is called with no parameters, it defaults to using the title of the page as a search at Commons. The old behavior of search at Commons would take the reader directly to a gallery or category if the search string matched the name. However, in the last year or so, the search has become more conservative, and our readers are taken to a crowded and possibly confusing search results page.
Instead, I propose that we use Wikidata to restore the old behavior for no parameters, when possible. The code in the sandbox does this. When there are no parameters, it calls Module:Commons link to first look for a Commons gallery associated with the article. If no such gallery is found, it looks for Commons category associated with the article. If neither is found, then it defaults back to the current behavior of searching Commons with the article title.
A few things to note about Module:Commons link:
* It has been used at  and  for a month now, with no complaints or negative feedback.
* There are multiple entries in Wikidata that represent associated Commons galleries or categories. Module:Commons link checks all of them, and only uses them if they all agree. Otherwise, it defaults back to the current search behavior. This will protect against vandalism and false positives. If there is any inconsistency, the Lua code places the article in one of two tracking categories: 1 or 2, so we can fix it.
Note that this change only affects the "no parameter" case (see test cases). All other behaviors remain the same:
* If a single parameter is provided, the link is directly to that page in Commons
* The second parameter is still used as linktext.
* The named arguments still work as before: , , , .
Any questions or comments before I turn this on? — hike395 (talk) 06:45, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Map? 

message: The name is currently Šar Mountains as it is in macedonian, but it only makes sense that the name should be Sharr Mountains as it is in albanian instead. Take a moment and think about it, the etymology of the name came from Albanian roots, its literally in the page, and the people that live around the range are albanian speaking people, that refer to the range as Sharr Mountains/Malet e Sharrit. Also, it would be the more recognisable name for the english language. Agon Latifi (talk) 13:05, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: We determine the common name based on the number of English-language reliable sources that use it, which means it's more recognizable under that name in English. It's not a statement about its roots or anything like that. Even Encyclopedia Britannica uses this name currently. There are more sources about the name in the discussion above. By the way, you are not obliged to believe me, but this is a Wikipedia policy. If you actually had read WP: COMMONNAME, you'd know. StephenMacky1 (talk) 13:18, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Name of the Article 

message: There is no recorded toponym with the name Serra in which supposedly the Albanian Sharr could of developed from, so obviously the Albanian Sharr developed from the ancient name Scardus  and not Serra, something that has never been recorded and is rather a hypothetical theory. The source you have used is a Matzinger, a man that has made countless of unproven claims. Does not matter weather the source I used is old, it's from Radoslav Katicic who studied ancient Balkan languages. Matzingers sources are from old sources too. His claims remain unproven so I suggest to not write them like they are a fact. So that should be changed. TheCreatorOne (talk) 23:23, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The etymology from the Albanian sharrë, which ultimately comes from Latin serra, is supported by Genc Lafe too, which is cited as well into the article. The etymology of Sharr from ancient Scardus is impossible through the Albanian phonetic development, because in Albanian sk never changed into sh. That's a basic information of Albanian sound laws currently held by Albanian historical linguists. If you want to restore that outdated material, don't use outdated scholarship, but provide quotes from current linguists that show some examples of the development sk > sh. – Βατο (talk) 23:40, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Do we have any proof that Eric is trully Elliotts son as is Ian of Kain. It sounds convincing but we have nothing to prove it.
: This is a video game; I think it's reasonable to assume that a character is not telling a lie about his parentage that is never exposed either within the game or any other game of the series, especially when there is no plausible reason why the character would tell such a lie.  Honestly, if you react to everything the characters say with "Do we have any proof of that?", that leaves almost nothing certain about the story.  Do we have any proof that Zeon prevented Darksol's revival from being completed?  Do we have proof that Oddeye is a Greater Devil?  Do we have proof that Mephisto is Darksol and Mishaela's son?

thread_title:  I would like to learn More 

message: There was a miserable cheat that allowed you to defeat the entire game in a couple of minutes.
SPOILER ALERT (as if it matters at this date, but here goes... )
The Acrticfox tank had a GPS-style co-ordinate system for keeping track of where you were on the game map.  The idea of the game was to find the aliens' main base and destroy it.  The hard part was finding the hidden base, as the game map was huge.  Well, there was a very nice picture of the alien base on a screenshot on the back of the Arcticfox game box.  It was supposed to give you an idea of how difficult the base is to find.  You can clearly see the map co-ordinates of the alien base on the Arcticfox GPS in the screenshot.  All you have to so is roll your Arcticfox to exactly the same numbers as on the back of the box, take your shot, and it's game over, man, game over.
