thread_title: Reverse Raffle

message: I'm proposing to merge Chinese auction into this page. While the Chinese auction is given a name "auction", it is effectively multiple simultaneous raffles. (Any raffle certainly could be thought of as a kind of auction.) The Chinese auction article also describes them as being used in a similar context as raffles--generally gambling for fund-raising. It seems that adding it as one example here could flesh this article out a bit, and avoid the confusion of having its own page. Cretog8 (talk) 03:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  merge w/ Chinese Auction 

message: A: The drawn tickets are checked against a collection of prizes with numbers attached to them, and the holder of the ticket wins the prize.
B: In this manner, people are not buying tickets to win a specific prize, but for the possibility of winning any of the prizes, as the prizes do not have specific numbers attached. 
I don't have any sources to back this up, but I assume this contradiction is happening because the order of events is not clear.. I assume that the numbers are not attached to the prizes until the drawing takes place. But, once the drawing takes place, there is a number attached to the prize. --70.186.144.226 (talk) 22:56, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction... prize number, attached or not? 

message: I suggest merging this page with Lottery. I think "raffle" is typically used when a the prize is a physical item, but this could be explained with a sentence or two in the lottery article. ghouston (talk) 09:47, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Since there is nothing being said here I'm going to say something off topic. I used to work in tech support for a large software company and Ms. Virtue called me once. She asked if I wanted to see a picture of her and directed me to a link to her Maxim page. I very nearly got in trouble with my boss because of that. Anyway, she was a very nice person though she asked a LOT of personal questions that I tried to brush off.

Talk:Arthur Merriman

message: As noted in the edit summary, i've been trying to find the Gazette for his OBE, but without some idea of when it was awarded, it's a bit needle in hay-stack.  I did however find a Gazette noting his appointment as a Deputy Lieutenant, which also gave a nice long string of postnomials.  There are also these two other Gazette entries:  which suggest he was also awarded the DFC at some point - since there's only one Merriman listed as holding a GC (I also found a few entries for another Arthur D Merriman, who was a Royal Navy engineer officer).  There's also this Gazette  which suggests WWI service in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps which would fit age-wise.  All this is verging on Original Research of course.  If we could find an obit, it might help.  David Underdown (talk) 11:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Employers' Association of Greater Chicago

message: This article does not required cleanup.  Some posters may not like that numerous references had to be used.  Sadly, not all topics of importance have had books or scholarly articles written about them.  This requires use of primary source documents, and that often means lengthy footnotes and references sections in order to meet Wikipedia's verifiability requirements.  Too bad if some users find that "pathological."  Wikipedia calls it "verifiable."
And yes, it is necessary to have both a References and Notes section.  This article uses inline citations.  In WP:Citing Sources, whether using embedded links, Harvard referencing or footnotes, "A full citation is also required in a References section at the end of the article."  Only in rare cases (such as when there are very few citations used, or when very few citations are used repeatedly), would a complete citation be used in a "Notes" section and a "References" section omitted. Some examples of this rare case are My Lucky Star (novel). WP:Citing Sources asks that contributors put additional print references in a "For Further Reading" section.  Not all contributors do so, however.  Some lump them in with the "References" section (especially if they are few in number). But the answer is:  Yes, a References and Notes section are both needed, because one provides a short citation and the other a complete citation. - Tim1965 (talk) 20:44, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Pan Am received their first Martin M-130, msn 558, NC14716, on 9 October 1935. The first two Boeing 314s, msn 1988 and 1989, NC18601 and NC18602, were not delivered until 27 January 1939. The first aircraft to land on Wake was a Sikorsky S-42, probably msn 4201, NC823M which had been delivered to Pan Am in December 1934. The S-42 had been stripped of passenger accommodations and further modified to give it an endurance of 21.5 hours and a range of just under 3,000-miles. On 16 April 1935, the S-42 made its first survey flight from Alameda to Honolulu, and returned to Alameda on 22 April. On 12 June it took-off again to survey the Honolulu-Midway leg and additional flights were made on 9 August and 5 October to survey the Midway-Wake and Wake-Guam routes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.151.147 (talk) 14:56, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:An Evening with Wild Man Fischer

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.  This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags.
