Talk:Randy Michaels

Talk:Randy Stoklos

message: This article has this: He won one U.S. championship and Five World championships with Sinjin Smith.
However, Sinjin Smith's article has different info: He won one U.S. championship and two World championships with Randy Stoklos.
There is no link to the World Championship wiki article, these men are not mentioned there, though it mentions ten unofficial championships (1987–1996) of which medalists or even winners are not listed.
So it seems their wins were from the unofficial championships, but I couldn't check how many they actually did win. 88.114.246.209 (talk) 03:50, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Opening comment 

message: I know you're supposed to target a section, but the most grievous offenses I saw were in the introduction. The article reads like an advertisement, and was obviously written by people with an interest in promoting the WTPT, probably with intent to be used in the league's official website. Language such as:
 It's Free, it's Fun and best of all you have a shot of winning millions of dollars at the World Series of Poker! (introduction)
 Click here for more details on the TOC. (introduction, suggesting this was directly copy-pasted from the league website)
  America's #1 Bar Poker League (introduction; if this were clarified to refer to size rather than quality, this may be written as a valid, neutral point)
  You must have a minimum of 8 games played each season to receive a Tavern Ranking (Season structure & player ranking. Third person preferable.)
is fine for a league website, but is too biased to be used in a wikipedia article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MastaIroh (talk • contribs) 02:55, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I met Randy totally anonymously & by accident two months ago when, right after I moved to Fayetteville GA, we had a very nasty ice storm, and as I was driving out from the estate where I'm staying, there was a chap on a Ford tractor dragging a felled tree off the driveway. I helped him break off a few limbs & branches so we could clear the common driveway so I could get to work; and only later I learned he played in the NFL (like, so what?!).

Talk:Baya weaver

message: * I'd Like to draw some attention to the Other Notes Section of the article
If some one knows about the behavior of the Baya Weavers w.r.t using mud/clay in their nests and could elaborate on that with some references to substantiate it, it would be good.
* And it would be good if we That 3 races are recognized based on their size and coloration, we need more info as to whether the races are geographically confined or if more than one race is found in the same geographical region. And are there any variations in the nests of different races?
* One of the articles in the references section shows an image of the cross-section of a baya nest, such images would add value to the the article.
* It would be good to get pictures of Baya Nests in different stages, and some information on the important stages of the nest building process.
I heartily welcome all to discuss on this page and come up with content and suggestions

Reliable sources for taxonomy include the Nomenclator Zoologicus and the Richmond Index and Gymornis is not in these. Shyamal (talk) 02:05, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. The Collins Bird Guide has Gymornis – but on closer inspection I think that must be a typo. Gymn (naked) + ornis (bird) would look the most likely, assuming it is derived from Greek - but Gymnoris certainly seems to have precedence on its side (and far more Google hits!).

Talk:Agesilaus II

message: There isn't any evidence the Spartans killed or "exposed" deformed babies. The archeology has revealed many deformed individuals lived to adulthood in Sparta. Agesilaus II's life was not in danger because he was born with a deformity.
The only evidence for the claim Spartans did this is Plutarch, writing about something which happened hundreds of years before his time. It is likely Plutarch is operating off of outdated information.
Given the re-examination of this phenomena, informed by empirical investigation, the line about Agesilaus II bearing the risk of "exposure" should be itself re-examined.  ANE was Nordic (talk) 06:20, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

There is one "source" claiming they did, Plutarch, he is widely considered to be unreliable as a source on this particular matter. ANE was Nordic (talk) 17:57, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
