message: The current entry says that "Bob is patterned after Richard Nixon, and is drawn to resemble Nixon." This entry does not provide a citation, and is in conflict with the author's statements, most recently in the 12/03/2023 strip comments. In that he says, "I patterned him after my favorite character actor, Dabney Coleman (note the mustache on Bob), not just in appearance but in his sharp demeanor." I would recommend that the entry be changed to that or to remove any mention of inspiration. Defaultuserbr (talk) 22:50, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:WJBK

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in the article. Not including this type of material in articles abides by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
#WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.  
#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If an article already exists in Wikipedia for the person you're considering adding to the list, it is generally considered sufficient to demonstrate their inclusion in a list of past employees is appropriate. 70.48.216.22 (talk) 21:33, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Drakkhen

message: From the article:
The small proportion of the gaming population who have played and enjoyed Drakkhen generally consider it a classic of the RPG genre, alongside the likes of Betrayal at Krondor, Final Fantasy IV, and Baldur's Gate -- although its replay value may be slightly lower than these due to its comparative lack of depth, detail, and storytelling. Regardless, the ambience in this game in unparalleled.
There are several NPOV concerns here, including the three games chosen to represent the classics of the RPG genre (while all three games have recieved high critical acclaim, it's a rather eclectic, idiosyncratic ensemble), while the comments on depth, detail, storytelling and particular the ambience are all highly opinionated.211.27.72.91 15:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I played this game when it was brand new on the Amiga, and played the competing games of that era.  I was a bug RPG nut at the time.  75.70.220.16 is pretty much on the money.  It was a poor game.  The problems included: confusing manual, poor direction, frequent player death, poor in-game translation, and a somewhat clumsy combat interface.  It was basically a tech demo for the walking-around experience.  Some of the encounters were entertainingly surreal, but mostly it was just confusing and bad.  The SNES incarnation greatly cleaned up the translation, added a lot of text, and generally made the game playable, but it was still not great. JoshuaRodman (talk) 21:52, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I am unaware of any sacrament administration before the founding of the Church in 1830.

The Wiki article on Sacrament (LDS Church) states that weekly administration of the sacrament did not begin until sometime in the 1850s.  Is this the time when the "Sacrament Meeting" started?
