message: While at first I laughed over the (un-intentional, I'm sure) weaselly sound of the second-to-last sentence in the article, I see a need for transparency. Where were these attitudes discussed? What resolution shall we expect? How is the participation of the community being fostered?

message: I couldn't find anything in the article about how to make the table of contents of an article visible when it is not. How about adding it? Here's an example of a talk page with no visible (to me) table of contents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Nuclear_weapon_design
Background: I was looking for information about this because for the last couple of months or so, I can never see the table of contents on any talk page. I don't know whether tables of contents have been phased out on talk pages, but I assume not, as they are useful (or so I thought). Maybe there is something wrong with my computer, I don't know.

Category talk:People from Melbourne

message: The above category was becoming unwieldy with over 1000 articles listed and probably another 1000 which could be listed in this category. I have therefore tagged the category with "catdiffuse" and suggest that all articles be moved into a suitable subcategory and that :Category:People from Melbourne would have very few actual articles linked, but rather be a list of the subcategories. I have made a start on this work by setting up some subcategories and moving articles into them. If you find yourself with a few spare minutes please help with this work.

Talk:Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute

message: Though it is 'somewhat' hard to find loquacious and reliable sources (not to speak about the 成都飞机设计研究所 website where Chinese characters seem to be unreadable by some systems, like mine…) about the CADI and all other defense aircraft project designers, I guess there is no good reason to delete this page. We'd better buckle down to this subject: even if we end up with scarce information (for which we do have to indicate the sources, whatever their seemingly unreliable value), it would be better than nothing, because it would equate to underrating the Chinese/Russian production and underestimating their capacity, i.e. they do more than simply copy existing aircraft. They and their machines deserve more than this. Korenyuk 12:28, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Australian cricket team in England in 1884

message: According to Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment, the criteria for B-Class are as follows: 
1.The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. 
 
2.The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.
 
3.The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.
 
4.The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously.
 
5.The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content.
 
6.The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.
In my opinion, the article as currently written meets these criteria. Subject to a further review to eliminate any remaining typos or grammatical errors, the article is ready for the GA process. --Old Lanky (talk) 22:09, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:George Bullough

message: See From WP:NCNT#Other_non-royal_names#4:
:Baronets, as they hold hereditary titles, often for a large part of their lives, follow the same practice as hereditary peers and should have their title noted in the beginning of the article. The format is Sir John Smith, 17th Baronet. For the article title, this format should only be used when disambiguation is necessary; otherwise, the article should be located at John Smith. John Smith, 17th Baronet should never be used with the postfix and without the prefix.
Therefore this articles name should be changed.--Ginggangsgoolies 20:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Fancy (band)

message: The musicians (Fenwick, Foster, Binks) worked together on Roger Glover's The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast project, released 18 Nov 1974. It appears Fenwick was the only guitarist, Binks one of two kit drummers.
This article says Fenwick joined Fancy in 1974. Did they previously work without guitar? 
Fenwick's page on Fancy (http://rayfenwick.com/fancy.htm, one of the three sources for this article) appears to indicate that the band existed and was recording before he then Kavanagh were recruited. Another interpretation: the three musicians were in place from the beginning, supporting Caunt, whose voice we hear on "Wild Thing" (uncredited) but who was replaced for the remainder of the tracks by the much more dynamic Kavanagh (compare to "U.S. Surprise"). 
Variant: another source says Hurst brought together Fenwick, Foster, and Caunt (with an unnamed drummer?) to record "Wild Thing" only, which was a bit too racy for U.K. airplay but sneaked across the water and was a surprise U.S. hit, so Kavanagh (having previously sung behind Steely Dan) and Binks were brought in to tour and record. (Even at that, it remains unclear which singer deserves credit for "Touch Me.") This blog post is my source, and includes a few brief responses from Kavanagh.
Does Kavanagh not deserve her own WP article? She's had a steady career: see https://www.discogs.com/artist/2169380-Annie-Kavanagh and http://www.solotosymphony.net/artists/Neil/

Talk:Aasif Sheikh

message: Sorry, but I've deleted the bulk of the content you added in the Career section for a few reasons. The entirety of it was unsourced. There were numerous grammar and formatting errors (for instance, we italicise film and television series titles). You've editorialised about the subject's work being "appreciated" without providing any references, you included puffery in the form of subjective words like "superhit" and phrases like "everyone's favorite till date", which also violates our policy on neutral tone. 
Beyond that, the section basically just repeated everything that could be found in the filmography, so it's not really clear to me what purpose it serves. You should look at a good article like Katrina Kaif, where the Career section has substantively more connective tissue, highlighting her most important roles, giving some background about those roles, adding critical response, etc. While we don't expect perfection right out of the gate, this seems like something you'd want to build to some level of quality before adding it here.

message: Making all these remarks didn't seem all all right to me. I've realized it takes months (or even years) to develope the systems engineering article and category into a featured item. Truthanado's plan is a good guideline, but it will take thousends of edits to bring systems engineering in the Wikipedia more alive.

replies: text: Probably the easiest way to gauge the potential usefulness of an SE WikiProject is to look at the level of activity in the SE article and related articles. If there are lots of people actively making edits to the article on a regular basis, it might be worthwhile to coordinate their efforts through a project.
