Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Midge Potts

message: Did I not say I was disagreeing for now and then spelled out why? That should've clued you in as to what to do to get me to change my disagreement to agreement. Instead, you continued to misrepresent my position and make up wild reasons (violating WP:AGF) of why I disagreed (see Zay's ridiculous comment just above). Why should I agree to anything if (1) you're going to start out by misrepresenting my position and (2) after I explain why I'm temporarily disagreeing, people misrepresent my motivations? It seems AGF and NPA only apply to me (while the rest of you can hide behind SPADE). Jinxmchue 14:29, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Replying to extensions of good faith with sarcasm and hostility is teh best way to lose it. Rather than addressing my accusations and explaining why they are wrong, you just belittle it as "ridiculous". You are pushing WP:IGNORE as an excuse to evade consensus, this contrary to the outline of WP:IGNORE guideline. --ZayZayEM 04:18, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Toyota UZ engine

message: I updated the 2UZ-FE section with the latest information I could get from MSN Autos for the models listed, however that is not an authoritative source for which engine models was used in certain model years.  For the work I did on the 2UZ-FE section, I looked up each model year's specifications for the models listed and checked the available engines and horsepower output for each year.  I then gave credit to the original 2UZ for model years using 4.7L engines with outputs of 245 bhp or less, and the VVT-i variant for years with 4.7L engines with outputs of 260 bhp or more.  While I believe that this is accurate, an authoritative source for which engine was used in each model listed by year would be preferred.  Also, the 1UZ and 3UZ sections have no sources at all, and also could benefit from a similar authoritative reference.  At current, most of the information here appears to be original research and as such needs some type of referencing to improve it.  If anyone knows of a good source for these data, please add references to this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TrufflesTheLamb (talk • contribs) 19:00, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Scott McGregor (actor)

message: There is a request ticket:2017011310000343 to change the article title from Scott McGregor (model) to Scott McGregor (actor)
The guidelines on parenthetical disambiguation WP:NCDAB do not go into a great deal of detail on how the term should be chosen. In my view, it ought to be as neutral as possible (so "superstar" is not an option). It ought to closely reflect an attribute of the subject so that anyone looking at a disambiguation list of people or subjects with the same name will quickly identify the one they are interested in. One common challenge is that person may be notable for one attribute, but another attribute more appropriately reflects the current situation. For example, if John Doe is in Wikipedia because of their party of experience as an actor but they are retired from acting and are trying to become a writer, we would probably turn down a request to use the parenthetical descriptor "writer" in favor of "actor". In my opinion, this is a closer call. Both "model" and "actor" are in the opening sentence. Based on my cursory reading the article it seems he may have become originally known for modeling but more recently is doing more acting.
I am inclined to support the change, but would like to get a consensus of other editors.--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:38, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Template talk:Schools in Buckinghamshire

message: As Dahliarose has said at Template talk:Schools in Greenwich, "The red linked secondary schools would be best removed and only added once appropriate articles have been created." I agree with that. Redlinks in navigation templates seem to serve no useful purpose. I suggest that it would be better to include the blue links only and add new articles for notable schools as they are created, which is the norm in almost all such templates. Does anyone object to that approach? Xn4 04:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the examples given in previous similar discussions appear to relate to templates that include primary or middle schools. This template is only supposed to include secondary schools which have a much higher chance of being notable and therefore having an article. I think that the red links should stay for the moment. ~ Scribble Monkey 09:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no presumption of notability, see WP:N, and this is a navigation template, not a list of schools. Links to non-existent articles really do not help navigation between articles. Xn4 (talk) 06:39, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If the placeholder redlinks are to be removed then perhaps the template should be brought in line with other counties and cover all schools not just secondary schools. I believe it has also been previously suggested that it should also include the currently separate Milton Keynes schools. ~ Scribble Monkey (talk) 11:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Thoughts

message: I noticed that most, if not all, of the Department for Children, Schools and Families performance table links within Buckinghamshire schools were no longer for the latest year. Instead of updating each school every year, I wondered if it would be acceptable to include the appropriate links for the whole LEA at the top of this template. The links would be as follows:
*Department for Children, Schools and Families Performance Tables (GCSE and equivalent) Buckinghamshire 2007
*Department for Children, Schools and Families Performance Tables (post-16) Buckinghamshire 2007
Any thoughts? ~ Scribble Monkey (talk) 11:18, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Modern primitive

message: Are they really only exist in developed countries? --Dennis714 (talk) 13:04, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  developed nations? 

message: Due to the style similarities amongst these subcultures, modern primitives are often lumped together with alternative fashionistas, sexual fetishists and body modification aficionados. This can be very frustrating for MPs as their activities get stereotyped as being motivated by sexual deviance, youthful rebellion and a desire to shock others. 
Not every MP has "the look" or engages in body modification. Those are just the most visible, a subculture within a subculture. "Heavily tattooed and modified" does not equal "modern primitive". Thus, classifying this article within the "Fashion" and "Body Modification categories is misleading, and I'm sure many MPs would find it disrespectful.
I would never be recognized walking down the street, yet I belong to a tribe and practice the alteration of my mental states through the induction of mental extremes (pain, sensory deprivation, fasting, ritual ecstacy, etc.). 
At the heart of modern primitivism is the belief that these practices allow for transcendental spiritual experiences. Most MPs use this spiritual practice as a self growth tool. It allows for intense catharsis, aiding the release of old emotions and patterns. At the same time it is a great tool for deliberately imprinting healthier new patterns and states of being onto the psyche. 
Little research has been done on MPs. We tend to be hard to find, mostly intentionally. That will make this article hard to verify. I don't know that I can offer any citations to support my belief that this article should be reclassified under the Spirituality category, so I am submitting this comment to the talk page before taking action.

replies: text: The consensus at WikiProject Schools is against such redlinks. This is not a list of notable schools, but a navigation template - its purpose is to navigate beteeen articles which exist. Links to non-existent articles do not help, here. Xn4 (talk) 06:34, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Batcycle

message: If there is one thing that I have noticed in comics, it is that nothing(especially Batman's gadgets) stays the same.  The opening line of this article states that it is a "modified street bike" then gives the size of the engine and such.  None of that is really consistent with common known things about Batman.  He rarely ever buys a store bought item and modifies it, especially not a vehicle. Plus even if there is a source backing up the statement of the it's statistics, I'm sure that there are at least a dozen other references stating entirely different specifications. Specifics about it's engines displacement, fuel management and cooling system are not only not sourced, and not substantially significant, but also subject to change four times a month with each comic book printed about him. I believe that this should be addressed.
