Talk:Mapic

message: Hello. I would love this page to be made a useful resource, there has been alot of discussion on "noteability" however fact of the matter is that there are over 9000 people who come to it from 67 countries worldwide. This is noteable. Certainly. It is flagged as "written like an advert" now, and I am at a loss to make it less so. It IS a commercial real estate tradeshow. It is what it is, and any description of it is likely to take on a commercial aspect ... ESPECIALLY if one is obliged to demonstrate noteability! PLEASE HELP, any seasoned editors who could take some time out to assist with this it woudl be so appreciated. I dont understand how it can be done any other way, but would like to know! Thankyou!

File talk:Bustingoutbox.jpg

message: I'm not sure I understand why fair use is being disputed for this image. The notice says it violates WP:NFCC#10c.
Specifically, NFCC#10c says:
# (c) The name of each article in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate fair-use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language, and is relevant to each use.
The only thing I can imagine the image description page violated was that I did not name the article fair use was claimed for, since it was automatically linked at the bottom of the description page. I have since fixed this. The reason I'm guessing this was the violation is that the rationale is definitely presented in clear and plain language, and is definitely relevant to the use of the image.

thread_title: 12 Liberty Ships to be sunk?

message: I suggest that the ship's caption be recast.  The caption seems to imply that we are looking at a picture of a ship that is waiting to be sunk as an artifical reef.  Published documentation indicates extensive modifications were made before sinking such as cutting down the funnel, masts and kingposts, and creating many openings in the hull and superstructure.  This picture was taken before any of these modifications were made.  While the ship may have actually been waiting for sinking, I think the main point of the caption should be about the ship, not about its fate.

Talk:Distributive lattice/Proofs

message: I have reverted the edits by 132.181.160.42, which completely destroy the proofs. Here are some of the problems:
First, in lemma 1, there are not three cases, but two. y <= z is assumed, and then the last two lines constitute the two cases. The fact that in the second line x <= y implies x <= z has been lost as well.
The reformatting of lemma 2,3 and the introduction of 4 is a pretty poor idea. The distributivity requirement should be mentioned right in the statement of the lemma, not somewhere else where it may be forgotten. This is especially true if you read lemma 4 directly.
Reformating is a good idea but not if it changes the structure of the proofs. Reading them more carefully before changing stuff may be a good idea. Morana 01:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cognitive styles analysis

message: As part of the Wikify project, I've cleaned the mark-up for this article, primarily introducing a references section and using the harvard citation templates for inline referencing. 
I would strongly echo the exist request for the sources in this article to be properly referenced. Not being an expert in this field I don't feel it's appropriate for me to attempt this. The blank fields for the required information have been created in the Wikipedia citation templates. The existing data have been relocated.
Because of the incomplete referencing I've marked this article as currently unreferenced, using the  template, hoping it may attract attention.

thread_title:  Wikify and Cleanup 

message: I fixed one of the refs. The 2005 Rezaei article is some talk he gave, apparently based on a 2004 article which I dug up with google scholar. The 2004 one is much easier to find, and seems to be the original source, hence it is the appropriate reference. I don't like the ref style that comes up (Jnl title should be italicised, article title in quotes, and the reference in the text should not have brackets around the author's name if it is part of the text). At any rate, it now has the correct information. If you know how to fix the referencing format, drop me a line on my talk page. IBE (talk) 16:30, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Paul Oscar

message: Hi, do help if you can with the following aspects of the new article "Paul Oscar", about the Icelandic pop singer, songwriter and D.J. Páll Óskar Hjálmtýsson:
*Adding an IPA transcription of the pronunciation of "Páll Óskar Hjálmtýsson".
*Providing English translations of the following album titles:
**Stuð (1993).
**Milljón á mann (1994).
**Seif (1996).
**Allur pakkinn (1999).
**Þetta er nú meiri vitleysan (2001).

thread_title:  Help with new article "Paul Oscar" 

message: Hi, 86.168.7.98, you've added "" to the article "Paul Oscar" twice, but I've reverted this edit because Icelandic people are conventionally sorted according to their first names. See "Icelandic name" and "Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Iceland-related articles)" for more information. This is because most Icelandic people do not have surnames, and in this case "Oscar" is not a surname but one of the subject's first names. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please do so here on the article's talk page. Thanks. — Cheers, JackLee –talk–</span> 19:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is both ridiculous and unnecessary. A lot (about 50 percent) of Brazilians these days are black/mulatto. Maybe the percentage of black Brazilians was higher 150-200 years ago, but it's still high. And Theodore Roosevelt was an idiot for saying that blacks are disappearing in Brazil. And most white Brazilians are dark (i.e. olive or tan) anyways. They don't look like the stereotypical Anglo-American.
Wanna know why the percentage of black Brazilians was getting smaller? There's only one answer.
IMMIGRATION!!! Many white Brazilians have no origin in Portugal. It's like saying all white Americans come from England. It's not true! That is why this article should be deleted.
BTW, not all black Brazilians live in poor conditions. There are plenty of successful black and mulatto Brazilians, as well as many unsuccessful white Brazilians.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onetuc (talk • contribs) 21:36, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:MEO Arena

message: It has been noted that several IP edits continue to add this venue as the host for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. Just to clarify to everyone, no venue has been selected yet; only the host city of Lisbon has been chosen thus far. Verified sources that are on the Eurovision article, confirm that a bidding process will be undertaken so that venues can submit the candidature to host the event, similar to the bidding of venue for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, in which 3 venues had bid in August 2011 for the rights to host, and one finally chosen in October 2011. So let's not get ahead of ourselves and assume that the MEO Arena is the actual venue, until an official publish source confirms the fact. I have requested semi-protection in the meantime to reduce the IP eagerness. Wes Wolf Talk  16:57, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Maybe it would be good, now or at some later point, to add a section on the (scientific) analysis of (professionally given) advice. It could include info on/from this study which I recently featured in 2022 in science:
A study systematically assesses advice given by professional general practitioners, typically in the form of verbal-only consultation, for weight-loss to obese patients. They found it rarely included effective methods, was mostly generic, and was rarely tailored to patients' existing knowledge and behaviours.
What do you think about such a (brief) section if this isn't the only study of this type?
Is there more research like this (especially for other areas than health/medicine)?
