Talk:Alphaville (band)

message: Why has the singles: Summer Rain, Mysteries Of Love, The Impossible Dream, Wishful Thinking, Flame, Soul Messiah and I Die For You Today,. all ben deleted and redirected?. Can someone pleas tell me if anyone knows why. Zika-star (talk) 08:49, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My guess is because they didn't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines (essentially, they didn't chart in any country). Although, I Die For You Today did chart (or is charting, I guess, because it's out right now), so technically that single should have passed the test. I would support IDFYT being reinstated. 87Fan (talk) 16:49, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Alphaville singles

message: This is weird, but seems to be true. Alphaville's website mentions that their singer once bought an EP by Big in Japan, a short-lived 70s british punk rock band. Of course, one has to presume that the title of Alphaville's hit song "Big in Japan" was influenced by the name of that band.
Alphaville's website also mentions that, when their "Big in Japan" reached #1 in Germany, in april 84, it replaced "Relax", by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. 
Here's the weird coincidence: Holly Johnson, the singer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, used to be the bassist for Big in Japan.
Really makes you go: "wait, what?!" XD -- Stormwatch (talk) 10:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  It's such a small world 

message: I love the band, but there are some serious problems with this article:
a) there are no references for anything, including chart positions, bio information, cover versions, and current work. we need to cite references for this stuff. I know it's out there, please help us add them (I don't know them all but I'll do what I can)
b) the section 'Afternoons in Utopia' is either mislabeled (because it has info about everything after 'Forever Young' or it needs to be split up. Personally I think it should be split up and have information added (because there's a lot to say, imho, about this band, in their later albums)
c) the picture! it's cool to have a live picture of the band, but i think we should find something more iconic (if possible), or maybe have a series of pictures of the band over time (since so many members have come and gone)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87Fan (talk • contribs) 18:36, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Control car

message: I created this article because there were several different versions on the English Wikipedia, each covering different and sometimes overlapping parts of the same subject. I also translated some information from the German article that wasn't present in any of the English versions.
I did read the comments on the talk pages before doing this, but as these articles are all referring to the exact same type of railroad vehicle, I thought it best to be bold and put everything together in a consistent format.
The only content removed from each individual article was that which was redundant between each article. The DBSO article I left alone because it contains quite a bit of specific information on that class of control car that wouldn't make sense to have in this article. --Cacetudo 17:58, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Delisted GA

message: This article is far behind any "Good article" standard. IMHO:
*it should provide a more worldwide perspective. 
*it should provide more detailed technical informations (perhaps).
**it should be removed the remaining US/UK bias (ex. mentioning data only from those countries for "Command type"). 
**image placing is mediocre. 
**prose and format quality varies from chapter to chapter (for example, the UK section is crappy as for format) 
At light of all this, I downgraded the article to the C-class quality assessment.

thread_title: Untitled

message: How can these different idealism about dance be reconcile to achieve a fair distribution of funds and opportunities for the development of dance in Singapore?
* For the high society and/or government, dance is something that is good for socialising and maybe showcase the prestige of the nation or company owners especially for bilateral occasion and exporting of performances to overseas.
* For the average low to middle income group, dance is a form of exercise and self-expression.
* For the dance artists, dance is the softening power to promote gracious living and a civilised nation through neutralising the harsh effect of pragmatism to the society.

Talk:Tomoko Fuse

message: Here's one list of the origami books Tomoko Fuse wrote: http://home.earthlink.net/~rosa_sanchez/fuse/index.html
It has only English and Japanese books on it, and since some of the translations are free form (there are no official English translation) names itself are not that important, its the ISBN numbers. Also, in other foreign languages there are any compilations and translations (both official and bootleg), but these other books hold nothing new. Shinhan 17:07, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

message: According to OrigamiUSA's magazine The Paper, Fuse's mentor Toyoaki Kawai died. An article of him is printed in Issue 96, however this is all the info I have on him and am not certain if he is significant enough to have an article about him. --Origamikid (talk) 08:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Express lane

message: This page was created because the examples on this page were removed from local-express lanes because these express lanes operate much differently from local-express lane system. TEG 17:18, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not familiar with the route, but what ultimately would make it have express lanes is if the express lanes have their own exits and entrances, separate from the main line.  The main line serves local traffic and is what the express lanes detach from and return to.  Unlike the Local-Express system, where the local lanes act as a very long collector/distributor road with traffic able to cross from local to express and back at several points.

Talk:Sinai Beach

message: I've been trying to clean up most of the information in the article.  I removed the inital section, because most of it was either covered in another section, or unnessecary.  I also added the infobox and cleaned up the discography.  However, I have found one major problem: there are several lists of the band members, and I am unsure which is correct.
List 1 (From Victory Records):
*Logan Lambert - Guitar
*CJ Alderson - Vocals
*Sean Durham - Guitar
*Daniel Barachkov - Bass
*Mike Dunlap - Drums
List 2 (From Sinai Beach's MySpace):
*Logan - Guitar
*CJ - Vocals 
*Mike D - Drums 
*Sean - Guitar
List 3 (From both Immersed and When Breath Escapes (Re-issue)):
*CJ Alderson - Vocals
*Logan Lambert - Guitar
*Mike Dunlap - Drums
*Jeff Santo - Bass
*Mike Risinger - Guitar

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: I'm Dwayne McDuffie, founder of Milestone Media. There are a few errors and I'm new to all of this. 
I was the sole creator of David Kim, the character, and Xombi, the series. John Rozum was the writer of the series, and with artist J.J. Birch,  the creator of almost all of the ongoing cast and bizarre concepts and characters. Denys Cowan did a design for an early, and ultimately discarded version of the character.
Xombi, although a low-seller, was NOT the lowest-selling Milestone title, that would be Kobalt.
The definition of Xombi "someone made immortal through artificial means" is not the definition from the comic book.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmcduffie (talk • contribs) 06:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
