message: Hi, I have removed the Administration section from the article because it is unencyclopaedic in nature. Encyclopedia articles need not reflect current affairs. I have also removed the names of some commercial ventures etc. because the are promotional in nature and not desirable for an encyclopedia.-Civilizededucationtalk 15:54, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I have removed the media section because it is against wikipedia policies like WP:NOR,WP:NOT and is outside the scope of this article. This is a "place" article and should concentrate on the place, not on the individuals living in it.

Talk:Richard Leacock

message: Hi everyone,
there were major changes done on July 4 2010 on this page by Canarybanana. I am unsure if it is Mr. Leacock himself, because there seems to be a user named RLeacock1, that could be him too. In any case, the information seems to be of good value, but the style is all wrong. I am no specialist, so I did not edit any information, I only added bullets and some links to get closer to the appropriate style. If someone, who knows a little more about cinema than me can check the information and maybe add some citations, because they are quite lacking, that would be really awesome. Also, check the dates, if they are the start of the production or the publication, because Louisiana Story shifted from 1948 to 1946 after the July 4, 2010 edit. Many thanks Dragan22 (talk) 01:57, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

:(born July 16, 1946)
:He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.  He relocated to the United Kingdom from the United States in 1974. 
:In the late 1970's, LeParmentier became involved in a relationship with British actress Sarah Douglas, whom he met on the set of Rollerball.  They worked together on the 1977 film The People That Time Forgot and briefly on Superman II in which Sarah played Ursa and LeParmentier played a TV news reporter. During the promotion of Superman II, they married in 1981 in a small village outside Stratford Upon Avon. They divorced in 1984. Nightscream (talk) 05:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Category talk:Bootleg recordings

message: I've placed several bootleg articles here, and prodded several.  There seems to be a consensus on WP that bootlegs are not notable.  I define a bootleg as physical album or CD that you can buy in a record store that is not sanctioned by the artist.  I feel that articles of broader interest, ie about demos, unreleased albums, or limited release/out of print albums compiled with the participation of the artist or their record label do meet notability requirements and shouldn't necessarily be deleted.  These articles should however establish their broader notability and meet WP's quality standards.  I hope this category will make it easier to locate such articles in order to either delete them or expand them as appropriate.  If I've prodded an album you worked on, I mean no offense, and invite you to contact me to discuss improving the article if appropriate. Also, if this discussion is more relevant elsewhere, please copy my comments there.  Cheers, Alcuin 02:53, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Richard M. Schulze

message: On behalf of the subject, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I would like to propose replacement text for the Philanthropy section. Here's a copy of the current (incomplete and poorly sourced) text:
In 2000, Schulze donated $50 million to the University of St. Thomas, at the time the largest donation to a Minnesota college or university. The money went to help open the UST School of Law, featuring the prominent Schulze Grand Atrium, as well as the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship, part of the St. Thomas College of Business and located in Schulze Hall ; both schools are in downtown Minneapolis. Schulze sits on the Board of Governors of the UST School of Law.
In 2014, after fire destroyed the Naples, FL YMCA, the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation donated $1.5 million for restoration.  And in 2018, Schulze through his Family Foundation donated $750,000 to the Sky Family YMCA in Bonita Springs, Florida.
The first paragraph is poorly formatted and based on bad URLs. The second paragraph has two specific examples of donations, but fails to give readers an overview of the  Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation's activities. Therefore, I've drafted a brief  and neutral summary of contributions, based on Wikipedia-appropriate sources. I propose replacing the current text with the following:
I would like to think the proposed text is a significant improvement over the current content, and none of the claims are particularly contentious, but I do not edit the main space because of my conflict of interest. I am seeking editor review and implementation on my behalf. My goal is to provide a basic overview of Schulze's philanthropic activities (primarily via RMSFF) in a way that shows priorities and geographic scope. I am happy to address any questions or concerns.
Thanks for your consideration, Inkian Jason (talk) 21:14, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Richard McCulloch

message: The entire "opposition" section is barely comprehensible and certainly biased. I personally don't have a good enough knowledge of McCulloch to rework this, good luck to anyone else:
"The ideology expounded by McCulloch is utterly at odds with the view generally presented in the media which equates multi-racialism with the creation of increased diversity.  McCulloch is opposed to those who would like to see the destruction of human diversity through intermixture. The latter is called by McCulloch racial nihilists and is seen by him as a  widespread conspiracy. The existence of any widespread movement in favor of racial nihilism(extinction of races through intermixture) has never been documented. Evidence can be found that such a position exist amongst certain intellectuals though. An example is Steve Olsons book Mapping Human History in which he pledges his hopes that humanity will become one uniform mass through interracial mixture thus extinguishing any possibility of racism." --Smilingman 03:39, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I've verified that the JSTOR citation does say that the internees in that incident were from Rohwer, but the National Park Services page on the nearby Jerome War Relocation Center describes an incident which must be the same one, says that the internees were from Jerome, attributes it to a contemporary newspaper account, and describes Jerome as "the site of the only known shooting of evacuees by local civilians."

replies: text: OK--if the novel is so noteworthy, expand the article, please. It doesn't seem as if anyone has done any work on it at all, which suggests that there isn't much to say about it. I don't know if I like what she writes; I ain't read it. BTW, dime novels are dime novels because they are bestsellers. Drmies (talk) 05:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Whatever, dude -- it's part of the Pern series, which is among the best-selling sci-fi series of all time (notice the big box o' links along the bottom?), so there's no reason why there shouldn't be an article on it.  Not sure what kind of expansion you want -- I could add a basic plot summary, but that if that involved adding more than a few sentences, then it would necessarily involve "spoilers".  If you have no particular understanding of the type of literature that this book represents, then you may not be the best person to try to supervise the article's improvement...

replies: text: Settle down. I don't want to supervise anything. And I've read plenty, even in this genre, thank you very much. Let's try to be productive here, shall we? A small expansion of the kind you suggest would be nice, actually, and spoilers, well, this is an encyclopedia, not a publisher's brochure. In general, my point is that books are notable also if they are deemed notable by critics. Sales numbers are just that--though the addition of sales numbers would also improve the article, cause right now the article only states that the book exists, and existence by itself is not notable in an encyclopedia. Let's work together on improving WP. Drmies (talk) 19:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
