message: I have a question. Is it that there are actually no books written on queen endgames? If it is the case, I seriously hope someone writes one soon. If not, please add some, as many (myself included) are stuck in these endings and cannot find any mainstream books on these "royal finishes". Thanks. 184.147.198.36 (talk) 00:24, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: There is Queen and Pawn Endings by Yuri Averbach, which has been out of print for decades.  It (like the other books of this series) were compiled into the Comprehensive Chess Endgames series decades ago (one of the best!).  I'm pretty sure that there is a volume of Encyclopedia of Chess Endings, but these have analysis only, no words.  
And queen endings are covered in several general books, like Basic Chess Endings. 
Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:16, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for the clarification. It still is disheartening that amid all these (often conflicting) opening books giving lines that explode in popularity one day and are nonexistent the next, there doesn't seem to be a single (somewhat known) recent book focusing solely on queen endings... It's not like anything's holding people back from writing one. 184.147.198.36 (talk) 02:13, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Afrixalus paradorsalis

message: @Jfire, I’m not saying you are wrong, I agree that individual species are important, but please help me understand why does it being its own Species make it “invariably considered notable” enough for its own article? There are four sentences about this species which is all covered in its parent article.
WP:PAGEDECIDE does not give a clear cut answer to if this should be a standalone article or not, but it does say that it should be discussed and options weighed.
I am fine with keeping the article if that is the consensus, especially if someone can help expand this article. But at this moment I do not agree that it being its own species is enough, but I am happy to hear your opinion and learn why it could be considered enough notability.

replies: text: Agreed.  It was really premature of whoever-it-was to make separate pages for Teddy and Victoire--ultimately, both of them are incidental characters in the overall scheme of the series, and hardly notable enough to rate separate articles.  In fact, neither of them appear "on camera", so to speak; all references to both Teddy and Victoire are third-person mentions by other characters.  Thankfully, the other children mentioned in the epilogue have sensibly been added as mentions in their parents' articles and other pertinent articles such as the Weasley family--and also thankfully, that article in particular doesn't treat the currently OR theory of Victoire as Bill and Fleur's daughter as a statement of fact.  If it's not confirmed (say, through a statement by Rowling herself), don't present it as fact. -- Pennyforth 13:32, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

And by the way, her name is V-I-C-T-O-I-R-E, as in the actual French word meaning "victory"--it's not just a psuedo-French respelling of "victory". -- Pennyforth 21:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Plenum

message: I don't believe my edit was "bad", nor that it merged different concepts (histlink).  Disambiguation pages have a very particular style, with a well-thought-out rationale.  In short, dab pages are signposts, not articles.  They're intended to point readers towards the correct article.  As such, they should be concise, with a single link per entry, and with the target term listed and linked first.   Dab pages don't exist to host content for articles not written yet.  (stubs can hold short content if needed.)  •  As for the different concepts, it seemed pretty clear to me that most of the entries in the old version were just restating the same concept.  The start of the second entry restates the first entry (positive pressure); the rest of that entry is the definition of a plenum chamber.  The fourth entry is a restatement of plenum chamber in the context of organ bellows.  It's not a different concept because it's on a different piece of equipment.  The first sentence seventh entry gives the definition of plenum chamber.  The second sentence gives examples of context and links, which are better handled in a target article.  Likewise the third sentence.  —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 16:15, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Banat (disambiguation)

message: Anittas, I do not think that your recent reorganization of the article is very good solution. For example, in my version of this page, in sections "History", "Geography", etc were only articles whose subjects are known under exact term "Banat", while in "See also" section were articles that only had term "Banat" in their names, but are not known generally as "Banat" (they are known as "Banat+something" or "something+Banat", which is not same as "Banat", so it should remain in see also section). PANONIAN 16:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, in your version, in the history section, you have Banat of Temeswar and Banat Republic. How are those two names any different from the names that are included in the See Also section where you have names such as Banat Krajina? Don't they belong in the same category? Banat of Temeswar is a historical Habsburg province and Banat Krajina was a section in the Habsburg military frontier. I think these names should be categorized according to what they belong to, and not according to the structure of the name. It makes things look more organized. We have a sport category, but we should include the ethnical minority along with geographical and history terms? You can keep it as you want, but I would prefer my version. --Thus Spake Anittas 17:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is that Banat of Temeswar and Banat Republic are in some sources known simply as "Banat" and Banat Krajina was never known simply as "Banat" in the sources. The problem is that introduction text say: "Banat may refer to", which imply that terms mentioned on this page are also known as "Banat" (besides their other names used in the articles), while terms added into "See also" section were not also known as "Banat" - they are added there because of similarity with term "Banat". In another words, if we organize article as you proposed, then we would have to change introduction sentence and instead sentence "Banat may refer to" we would have to writte something like "Articles which contain word Banat", which is not really in accordance with other disambiguation pages which usually have introduction sentence "... may refer to".

Talk:Harakat Tahrir

message: Some remarks on this article:
1/ 
* "Harakat Tahrir" means in arabic movement of liberation (as stated in the article itself)
* This is a general naming of all movements of liberation`
* This page must be therefor a page for disambiguation
2/
* What is the exact arabic name of the "Movement for the Liberation of the Sahara" or "The Movement for the Liberation of the Saguia el Hamra and Rio de Oro"?
* If such a name has existed it must be sourced.
* If not, then there is a big doubt on the factual accuracy of this article.
3/
* What is the organic relation between this movement and the so called sahrawi republic?
* The former fighters for the liberation of the Sahara from Spain were for it to be part of Morocco.
* The father of Mohammed Abdelaziz, the boss of Polisario, is one of them. He is living in Morocco and is a fervent militant for the sovereignty of Morocc over the Sahara.
* These three thing must be clarified otherwise the article would be a candidate for deletion or total clean-up.
