Talk:Myriorama (cards)

message: I note  that there are entries both on Moving Panorama and Myriorama, and that Myriorama has a "Moving Panorama" subsection.

Talk:Creature from the Haunted Sea

Talk:Francisco Martínez Portusach

message: "In the American media of the time, he was often referred to as Francisco Portusach or Frank Portusach."
I presume Portusach Martinez was his Spanish-style last name (name of father+mother) and thus this referring was according to the way Spanish names are usually employed in other languages, and even in Spanish in day-to-day referring? Compare the Spanish wikipedia article on Jose Maria Aznar whose full name is José María Alfredo Aznar López.
:I don't know what the standards are, except for what is in Iberian naming customs. If there's a Wikipedia standard for this, please feel free to change it. (And point me to it so I do the right thing next time.) JRP 00:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well what I meant was that probably anyone would have called him Francisco Portusach, while the article now regards it as something special. I'm not saying the title should be changed, just this remark on how he was called in the press. By the way, for the article title, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28people%29 recommends the 'usual' name, which in the case of Spanish names seems to be the double name. But there's no standard for the exceptions of course... Renke 12:48, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: His name was Francisco (personal name) Portusach (his father's family name) Martínez (his mother's family name). The way the article is written nowadays is the Portuguese fashion!

Talk:Pensioners Party (England)

message: I removed the Proposed deletion tag, with the edit summary "rm prod tag - any registered political party ought to be a perfectly legitimate subject for an article". I've just looked at the Electoral Commission website and see that there are 343 registered parties, and I'm not convinced I would wish to defend the notability of every one of them. (Even my local Residents' Association is listed there!) But this party has national ambitions and has received some media coverage, and I think it is sufficiently close on the notability criterion to be retained or at least referred to AFD rather than deleted without discussion.

Talk:Barn raising

message: This article doesn't actually talk about how the barn is raised. Did people pull on ropes attached to the timbers, or directly grab the timbers, or what? The structure was actually constructed flat, then lifted up, right? Was there a foundation? Was siding put on afterwards? I am very unclear how this worked. —Vivacissamamente 21:03, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The idea is about the concept of communities working together to enhance individual needs.  It isn't about the actual physical method of building the thing.  Comprehend?

message: Despite traditions of independence, self-sufficiency, and refusal to incur debt to one another, community barn raisings were a part one's life.
There may have been traditions of independence and self-reliance, but these were not absolute. A barn raising was an example of interdependence and reliance on neighbors. A barn raising does involve a debt to the neighbors, but with everyone participating, it is a debt which each person owes to every other person.--RLent (talk) 17:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

I looked through Carlin's biography on his main article, but couldn't find any mention of something happening to a "Sam" in the early 90s.

Talk:Roxxon

message: Incidentally, a while ago, someone noted that a Sgt. Fury story showed Germany bombing Britain at a point which seemed too late in the conflict. So, it was postulated that this could serve as a the last valiant effort of a scientist (such as Zemo). Well, Midnight Suns Unlimited#9 has a Blazing Skull story where Germany has developed the Vergel: Tungswaffe Dei: The V-3, a weapon they use after January 1945 to resume the attack on Britain. 
By the way, a possible error in this error; reference is made to Roxxon existing in the 1940's, but Iron Age indicates the company did not assume that name till the modern era.

thread_title: Italics

message: So I removed the list of staff, and it was reverted. Since the edit summary in the revert didn't cite any policy, and since I've never seen a list like that before, I removed it again. It was reverted again, with an edit summary telling me to "mind [my] own business". Accepting that neither  or I are communicating especially effectively though the edit summaries, I would still like a third opinion on this matter. Truthfully, I never bothered to read most of the Manual of Style because everything I did read was either really obvious or pointlessly pedantic, so I personally can't quote where it says that providing a list of staff, all of which are non-notable, in a manner that kind-of-sort-of looks overly promotional, is discouraged. It's just that I've never seen anything like that before, and it seems to me to be running afoul of WP:NOTADVERTISING and WP:NOTDIRECTORY, just not particularly blatantly. Can anyone else advise?

thread_title: Merge of [[Enfield District Scout Band]]

message: I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting.  Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association.  For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising.  Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.  
I suggest returning them to their original format, a new format that allows all Scouting in a County to be reported, or, alternatively, deleted as inappropriate.  -- DiverScout (talk) 19:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
