thread_title:  Vandalism warning templates 

message: I have created a new version of this template as per the discussion at  Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Cookie cutter response to vandalism.  This template is intended for a first warning when the change seems less experimental than vandalistic, and a slightly firmer warning than  is wanted. This version does not include the auto-signature hack. DES (talk) 21:20, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

message: :copied from User talk:Who
People other than those in court make judgements, and on the other hand the origin of "deemed" is also in legal proceedings -- it is related to "doomed" and once ment a fact determined by a legal process, if i am not mistaken. I think "deemed" souinds a little pretentios in this use, but otherwise does not alter the meaning at all. DES (talk) 02:02, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's actually why I chose the word, same meaning, mostly, but not as "offensive" I think. We are not judge and jury, we are just trying to cleanup vandalism, I think the word "judged" is just too strong and gives a false impression of what we are here to do. IMHO. «»Who?¿?meta 02:06, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: To me "deemed" is at least as strong, possibly stronger, plus it sounds a bit elitist. But mostly i think that such warning msgs, should be kept in relatively simple english, sienc they may well be addressed to non-native speakers. I think usign a more common word than "deemed" would be better. if you want to soften it, use "belived", but I stand behind "judged" -- the person who reverts vandalism makes a judgement that that is what the edit is. DES (talk) 02:12, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree in both cases, easier and better wording, I just don't like the sound of judged. I just chose deemed to try to stay close to the meaning. Feel free to change it if you have a better word, I would just like to stay away from judged or deemed :) if possible. «»Who?¿?meta 02:12, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:University of Waikato

message: Two out of date pieces of information ought to be removed from this section: 
* Professor Bradford W. Morse is no longer Dean of Law. Presumably the fact that he once was the Dean lacks notability, so this line ought to be deleted(?)
* The law school photo predates the opening of the current Law Building in 2016 (see my requested edit above (Campuses > Main Hamilton Campus > 2000s) for details about that). The building in the photo - now known as W Block - is no longer home to any of the Law Faculty. (I'd support removal of the image rather than recaptioning).
Thanks for considering this.

thread_title: Reply 08-MAR-2018

message: Decided to do a bit of cleanup, and here is what I found so far that needs attention:
*Add citations for the "History" section to back up each paragraph (WP:REF), at minimum. This is so that the information presented here is verifiable (WP:VERIFY) and does not look like it was written by an unreliable person, due to the nature of Wikipedia being editable by everyone (WP:OR)
*Add citations for the other subsection(s) inside "History" so that those sections are verifiable. (WP:VERIFY)
*"Alumni" section needs a bit of attention in regards to notability (WP:GNG, I think?) and non-advertising tone (WP:PEACOCK, I think?)
There is also a need for sections describing what the uni has done to assist New Zealand by the use of non-primary sources. In that case, even though I know nothing about any outstanding "cool" stuff that the University of Waikato had done, it would be nice to find some independent sources (WP:INDEPENDENT) to back up further notability of University of Waikato. I know Uni of Waikato is pretty notable in itself, but I don't think there are enough external info about Uni of Waikato to feel satisfactory. The article for University of Auckland could be used as a stepping stone for structuring the layout of the University of Waikato article.

Talk:2002 Venezuelan coup attempt

message: On April 11th, 2002, there was NOT an attempt to do a coup d'état in Venezuela. What transpired was a peaceful march to the presidential palace, which was met with gunfire and as a result, president Chávez resigned. That is NOT a coup d'état. However, when Chávez was reinstated on April 13th by a military action led by general Baduel, THAT is something that can rightly be called a coup d'état. In summary, the article's name should be changed, e.g. to "The events of April 11, 2002, in Venezuela" 104.61.71.9 (talk) 19:08, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion

message: At the risk of creating a trans-Tasman war, can I point out that in rugby-union playing countries, The Invincibles refers to the the 1925 All Black rugby team. There's also a movie called "The Invincibles" and an R&B group from L.A. with that name. This page should probably be moved to The Invincibles (cricket), with a disambiguation page in its place.
:AFAIK the 1948 cricket team is far more well known than the 1925 rugby union team - and most RU countries are also cricket countries.  I'd prefer it left as it is -  but wouldn't want to start another trans-Tasman war about it either.  Note also that there is a disambiguation page Invincible which mentions both of these teams, and the movie. -- —Moondyne 03:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:!K7 Music

message: I propose !K7 Records is merged into Studio !K7 or vice versa. The !K7 Records article has a better logo image and summary, but the Studio !K7 has a full list of artists.
As the official website is called Studio !K7 it seems sensible that this is the keeper article, and !K7 Records become a re-direct.
Oh, and !K7 re-directs to Studio !K7.
Also worth considering is the DJ Kicks artist info on the Studio !K7 page could be merged into the DJ-Kicks page. I'd also suggest a DJ Kicks (i.e. sans hyphen) article to redirect to DJ-Kicks.

message: English is not my native language, but I have no problem with informatics publications, till now ;-). What does it mean:

Of course I understand phrases like:  The more <cause>, the more <effect> etc., but it doesn't help.
Besides, all article is clear to me. Can you help me?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.193.219.237 (talk) 11:02, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps I can help clarify. Native American English uses the verb "does" to generalize what might specifically be replaced with verbs like "performs" or "involves" or "acts [upon]". I think that the sentence you're reading is not particularly clear and I hope that the writer would be more specific in further sentences. For example, a large system, as it increases in size and in scope of its performances, will therefore incur more vulnerabilities, because its capabilities grow and therefore with each capability or function, it has more potential places for problems/attacks/weaknesses.--SidP (talk) 04:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you. Your explanation seems to be comprehensive, but I still have doubts. I realize that the verb "does" performs special functions in English, but what is that mysterious word replaced by "does" in this particular case.  "the more that it extends" or "the more that it grows" would be correct? The words you have mentioned seem not to suit. Besides, doesn't "do" replace something, that was introduced earlier, especially longer phrase, unwieldy to repeat? Why just not to use precise word, so "do" would not be necessary, at all? 85.193.219.237 (talk) 05:27, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

If he retired in 1982, how did he continue to work on publications from one and two decades earlier? Were they subsequent editions, or is this just written in an unfortunate and chronologically jumbled way? Maybe the retirement date should be 1962? Quale 10:02, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Technically, was Stokes appointed a Lecturer in the Department of Physics, and a member of the Biophysics Unit? The articles on Rosalind Franklin and related topics omit information about the organizational context that is very relevant. Michael P. Barnett (talk) 11:41, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: He was a lecturer in Physics at KCL in the early '60s (see my note above). The Wheatstone, like any university physics research laboratory, housed several research groups; there were, for example, groups working on diamonds (a precursor to the LEDs of III-V semiconductors) and on infrared molecular spectra, including the then novel interferometric fast Fourier transform technique. At that time the biophysics group were beginning to migrate to new labs over the road, though one of my postgrad contemporaries, tasked with building a 2 m high DNA structural model, built it in the Wheatstone. Organizational structures within the Wheatstone were loose and flexible so we all talked to each other productively.

Regarding the articles in "What Links Here" relating to the dish, I plan to remove the wikilinks as it is another name for Souvlaki and the relevant articles  already link there.
The current two places are from the Times Atlas. There are other links from "What Links Here" referring to places which may or may not be relevant to the two listed places. I will ask for advice on each of the talk pages for clarification. Depending on the advice, I will either link them to the relevant article or create a new article.
