thread_title: Lists

message: A man who goes by the user name Cswrye did a featured article assesment on the article on La Bayadere, which I pretty much re-wrote from top to bottom.
For some reason he gave the article a 'B'. I have emailed him twice aleardy to ask him his rationale for such a rating, and he has ignored my messages. Its not that I care about the rating, I just wanted to know how he came to conclude that the article deserved this rating, being that nowhere does he explain it on the discussion page or anywhere else. It also seems that he came to rate this article on his own, which I feel is ridiculous - it should be done with feedback from members of the wikiproject dance.
With regard to the article on La Bayadere, I dont see how an article which explains in detail one of the most important works in the classical ballet repertory could be given a B rating. Nowhere on the world wide web can one find any information on this ballet that is as in depth as this one.
From the looks of things this user doesnt seem to me to have any business rating any ballet related article - he has no "credentials" for rating an article pertaining to ballet history, and yet he has still rated this article.
Anyway, all of this made me wonder about these assessments, and thier relevance - Does anyone know how one goes about doing them? Can anyone do it? When one does one of these asessments, do they judge the article based on its importance to the wiki dance project, or do they judge it based on wether or not it meets the wikipedia guidelines? When one does judge the article, do they do it with others or on thier own?
I am under the impression that this person did this assessment on his own, and had no feedback from others.
Thanks alot! --Mrlopez2681 20:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cyril Demarne

message: I did a quick search on the Times and Infotrac database and found the following which may be of use -
The Times (London, England), Sept 8, 2000 p13     
Blitz survivors mark 60 years after bombing. (Home news) Robin Young. 
Survivors of the London Blitz yesterday commemorated the 60th anniversary of the bombing campaign that was intended to bring Britain to its knees during the Second World War.
Cyril Demarne, 95, a chief fire officer in East London during the Blitz, joined other survivors at the Imperial War Museum. He said: "You can't imagine what it's like to be underneath the bombs. First you heard the sirens, then the aircraft followed by the bombs screaming down and it was simply terrifying. After a couple of days I realised I could do nothing about it.
"In the first week of the Blitz I thought London wouldn't be able to stand up to it. There were huge craters and gas flames blazing high in the air and tangled telephone cables everywhere. But every night the emergency services got to work and got everything up and running all over again."

replies: text: The kidney article covers general renal physiology and may not be appropriate for clinical endpoints like specific gravity. Moreover, if we were to start adding full descriptions of clinical endpoints of renal disease to the kidney article, it would become inanely large. The text in this article isn't very well written, but it most certainly isn't original research. All of the concepts covered in the article can be found in just about any bridge-level text on renal physiology or clinical pathology. I'm going to add this article to my to-do list.

I do not know why the U.S. embassador lives in Nishinomiya instead of Tokyo, but I was told he lives there and I saw american troops stationed outside his home. My girlfriend's family also owns a home close to the mountains in Nishinomiya that used to be the U.K. embassador's house. I do not know if the U.K. embassador still lives in Nishinomiya, but I do know that that the U.S. embassador does. I looked for some sources, but I do not think the government releases where the embassadors live, but only where the embassy is. If anyone can find some sources, I think it might be good to put that under a government section.

message: There are many lineages which are listed in the bottom section but missing from the geographical section, and vice-versa. In addition, there are lineages on Phylotree that are completely missing from the page.

Talk:Silas Talbot

message: WP gives editors the tools by which he/she can manage and format various text in and among WP articles within the limits of WP policy overall. Regarding the style or standards used bibliographies, apparently some editors subscribe to the notion that certain items are not allowed in Bibliography syntax and presentations, (using cite book, etc) such as bolding and the use of  tags, used to force a break to the next line. Having searched through WP Policy regarding Bibliographies and Cite Book and other MOS pages I have found nothing that indicates an editor is not allowed to use bold in bibliography listings or force a break to the next line, which often times serves well to mange long lines of text containing titles, text, publisher, author(s), etc.
Here is a source listing using no formatting:
* Url
Here is the same source listing using  formatting:
* Url
The title, authors, and publisher are not all run together, wrapped around and written like a short paragraph but instead various items are placed on their own line which makes for much easier reading. This is esp helpful when a reader is repeatedly referring to a lengthy bibliography as he/she reads along. 
Below are the sources I checked to see if any policy violations exist regarding bibliography formatting and again there is nothing that says editors can't manage titles/text into a more readable format, as described above.Before restoring the format that was used prior to the latest reverts I'd like to get feed back from any concerned editors. If there are indeed any policy issues or issues that are causing real problems for the readers these need to be heard also. 
:*Manual of Style/Lists of works: Bibliographies
:*WikiProject Bibliographies: Recommended structure
:*Template:Cite book: Syntax
Regarding any 'convention' used in bibliographies overall there are several, and unfortunately some bibliographies have no standard or formatting at all -- and there certainly is no 'one-size-suits-all' convention. Whatever style or format is used the important issue is reader viewability.

Talk:The Black Corridor

message: On Feb 3, 2006, user Wil allsopp added the following section:
:Alternative interpretation of the ending.
:The Black Corridor is essentially a novel about the decay of society and deep personal and social isolation this has caused.
:Another interpretation of the ending was that there never was a spaceship. Ryan's friends and family, too terrified to leave the apartment have been sucked into Ryan's fantasy of escaping to another world. Eventually, they've turned on one another until ultimately Ryan killed them and stashed their bodies. This is supported by both the first and last chapters as well as subtle pointers throughout.
In discussing the novel on the Moorcock's Miscellany website, Moorcock's bibliographer, John Davey, states:
I wonder if it's possible to get a citation for the 'alternative' interpretation suggested by Wil Allsopp? Or alternatively, a detailed explanation of the "subtle pointers throughout". Demos99 16:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Guns of Navarone (novel)

message: The article asserts that Leros had "among the largest naval artillery guns used during World War II". This is incorrect. The heaviest guns in the Italian fortifications were eleven 152mm (6") guns (source: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=170900). As a comparison, German fortifications on the Atlantic coast had a number of 460mm (16"), 380mm (15") and 280mm (11") guns, Russian and Finnish forts had 305mm (12") guns, and American coastal batteries had 16" (406mm) guns. Various British and Commonwealth coastal installations also had larger guns of various ages and calibers up to 15". The 152mm gun would be considered a "medium" calibre as far as coastal artillery is concerned. The book suggests that the Navarone guns were "twelve-inch bore if an inch", suggesting the WWI 30.5 cm SK L/50 gun (qv.) used in Imperial German battleships and (during WWII) a couple of fortifications on the North Sea and in France. Throwing a 400kg shell over 40 km and a 250kg shell over 50 km, these guns were way beyond anything the (originally Italian) coastal batteries on Leros ever had.--Death Bredon (talk) 15:34, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
