Wikipedia talk:Suspected sock puppets/miracleimpulse

message: I am withdrawing my accusation of sockpuppetry by  after reconsidering the value of pursuing this matter.  I would initially like to state that my belief remains entirely unchanged that miracleimpulse did indeed engage in sockpuppetry through the account .  However, there is much wisdom in not sweating the small stuff, and even though the shenanigans I strongly suspect miracleimpulse engaged in on Talk:Sweetest Day were annoying, they don't really amount to much in the larger scheme.  Moreover, I lack the time (and now the motivation, as well) to continue this process appropriately, and to pursue this any further would likely just result in wasting valuable admin time (not to mention the cost in additional wear and tear on their already threadbare patience in the face of all the similar such petty squabbles laid before them for judgment on a daily basis :), so I respectfully request everyone's pardon for any inconvenience caused by my withdrawing this accusation.  —Ryanaxp 19:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Standing rigging

message: Standing rigging is used to transfer wind energy from sails to boat and it is more permanent than running rigging D1gggg (talk) 03:39, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: You have the makings of a good idea, here, D1gggg. I would suggest, "Standing rigging comprises the fixed lines, wires, or rods, which support each mast or bowsprit on a sailing vessel and reinforce those spars against wind loads transferred from the sails.  This term is used in contrast to running rigging, which represents the moveable elements of rigging which adjust the position and shape of the sails."

Talk:Count Karlstein

message: Shouldn't that be Müller with an umlaut?
It should be but it isn't. In my edition, the character is referred to as Muller (no umlaut) throughout the entire narrative. It's strange as Pullman uses quite a few genuine German names and even employs what could be a bilingual pun (Woodenkopf -> Holzkopf) so he might have some knowledge of German. I don't remember that there were any umlauts present in the book at all but in one instance there was a very minor character called Wurmhoell; this is a very unlikely name in real life but is nominally good German, and in this specific case the umlaut "ö" is substituted by "oe" which is a common practice when umlauts are not available (e.g. when writing messages on non-German keyboards). So one could expect Pullman to have called his character Frau Mueller but he didn't.Jack L Rains (talk) 07:03, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

message: The requirement for NPOV is for the overall article, not for each individual statement in the article. In the contrary, it is often necessary to include POV statements in order to achieve overall NPOV. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view states: "We should present all significant, competing views sympathetically." So, it is not a reason to remove a statement if an editor perceives it as "extremly POV material from biased sources". To remove it, it needs to be shown that the view is not significant. — Sebastian 19:33, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Deferred compensation

message: I probably can't disagree with the wording more.  There is a chronic misconception that presumes a lower future tax bracket (or at least lower tax liability).  The only benefit seen will be IF the assumption is true, which is very often isn't.  As example, take a person with a large mortgage interest deduction and 2 dependent children.  To get a possible sense of tax liability change, take your latest available tax return and recompute it without the child dependents or mortgage interest (presumes goal of having house paid off in retirement).  The impact on tax liability is obvious.--Billymac00 (talk) 20:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  2013 Expansion and Polish 

message: I've made it a personal project to polish and expand the articles of the books in the WWIII genre, and have ran into trouble with the images due to the archaic copyright laws and wikipedias insane image policy.
I've written to the publishers and authors (where applicable) of the WWIII books listed on the SEE ALSO part of this article, in order to confirm what peoples common sense should already have told them: NO AUTHOR CARES IF THE COVER IF THEIR BOOK IS ON AN ENCYCLOPEDIA PAGE.
Those disclaimers inside book jackets where they reserve all rights in every form were meant for the era in which these books were published, the 1980s, which is a totally diffrent universe to the one were in now.
When I get their permission I will be putting my own images back up.
I would urge the knee-jerk administrators on here to actually read the upload information this time before hysterically pulling the images.
Try going with the spirit of the law not it's letter, putting the book jacket on wikipedia is promotion of the book not copyright theft, the wikipedia policy in this area is even more insane and dated than the actual laws.  At the very least they should wait until they have a complaint before pulling images, but what author in their right mind would have a problem with it?  None.

replies: text: The first series of Uncle Max was aired exclusively on Children's ITV.  The Broadcast Freelancer link on the main page states that Estelle Hughes, who was the controller of the CITV Channel in 2006, commissioned this show for a full series on the back of the pilot episode.  Therefore technically it was commissioned by ITV through its CITV arm.  When the channel lost the rights to the show for whatever reason in January 2008, the BBC picked it up and commissioned a new series and have broadcast and iPlayer rights to the original episodes as well.  In my opinion the current crop of episodes aren't a patch on the original episodes but that's another discussion.  The fact it's now on the BBC doesn't negate the fact it was originally a show made for transmission on Children's ITV.  Many shows have jumped channel - Tots TV was a daytime staple of CITV for five years, Rosie & Jim for longer than that.  Now these both appear fairly regularly on the CBeebies channel.
