message: WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:41, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:List of epidemics and pandemics

message: The column "global population lost" in the table for deadliest epidemics seems to have major issues, to the point it may be irredeemably WP:OR and the column may need to be removed. Almost all of these are cited to "World Population by Year" by Worldometer and the "World Population History" interactive webpage by "Population Education", a lesson plan supplier for K-12 education. Aside from the issue that the status of these sites as WP:Reliable sources is dubious at best, it is not at all clear how the table is deriving these figures from these sources, neither of which seem to mention epidemics or pandemics at all. Getting these figures is clearly not a matter of mere WP:CALC, so how can they be anything other than WP:OR and unverified? Does anyone have a solid policy-based reason for keeping this column?

Talk:Radcliffe Quadrangle (Harvard)

message: I'm not convinced of the NPOV of the "Quadlings" section. It's not clear to me that Quadlings have greater House spirit than residents of, say, Kirkland or Adams; "tribulation" is a loaded word; the discussion of advantages and disadvantages of Quad life is inherently POV, both in terms of what is classified as an advantages and what as a disadvantage, and in terms of the evaluation of the relative importance of the advantages and disadvantages; etc.

Another useless category with only one scientist in it. This scientist is double-listed in the parent category already. There aren't enough notable socioligists in HK to populate this. Additionally, none of the other sociologists are categorized by nationality, so this sub-cat sits alone, unless someone wants to take on the project of sub-dividing all the other sociologists.

"Newton, whose only close contacts with women were his unfulfilled relationship with his mother, who had seemed to abandon him, and his later guardianship of a niece, found satisfaction in the role of patron to the circle of young scientists. His friendship with Nicolas Fatio de Duillier, a Swiss-born mathematician resident in London who shared Newton’s interests, was the most profound experience of his adult life." --Enciclope2009 (talk) 17:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Category talk:Quality Comics characters

message: * Category listed for deletion on March 15, 2005. Consensus unresolved after 20 days. Discussion up to the point of closure follows.
Quality Comics is a long defunct publisher, most of whose characters have been owned by DC Comics for decades.  I do think there should be a seperate category for them because of historical interest, but there isn't a need for two.  There's :Category:Quality Comics superheroes which had 7 items and :Category:Quality Comics characters, which was a parent of the former and had one additional item, Blackhawk (comics), which I moved to the later category.  Granted, the Blackhawks don't have superpowers, but then neither does Batman and everyone calls him a superhero.  Regardless, two cats for this is one too many, and :Category:Quality Comics characters doesn't seem to have a reason to exist other than to be an unnecessary parent category.

Looks like the first of these, if you read the comments in the history list. (There is another subcategory for the works themselves.) I think it makes a certain sense as many books (in particular) are labelled as either 'Hugo Winning Novel' or 'By Hugo Winning Author'.

Talk:Sophie Masloff

message: Taken from The Political Graveyard: Masloff, Sophie — of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pa. Democrat. Mayor of Pittsburgh, Pa., 1988-89; Presidential Elector for Pennsylvania, 1996; delegate to Democratic National Convention from Pennsylvania, 2000, 2004; member of Democratic National Committee from Pennsylvania, 2004. Female. Jewish. First woman and first Jewish mayor of Pittsburgh. Still living as of 2004. - McCart42 05:57, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
The rehearsed malapropisms began with a genuine one. Following a Grateful Dead concert, an irritated Masloff found that the City faced a considerable cleanup bill because their fans had left a mess behind. Not quite cognizant with this area of popular culture, she referred to the band as "The Dreadful Dead" and their fans as "Deadenders". Her staff were initially embarrassed, then they realized that her constituents had been greatly entertained.  After that, they encouraged her to make more of the same, but the subsequent 'errors' were never as funny as the original.
