text: No, i dont personaly, and i dont know if its required. But lets assume it is, just for the sake of being constructive. How do we need to reformate the information? I have already made some changes, but maybe that is not enough? What more needs to be changed? --Striver 09:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest with you, Striver, I'm not sure. WP:COPY says "if in doubt, write it yourself", which seems to suggest that you use the information as a basis for your own work. But how to do that? I don't know. Dev920 12:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That is a problem i have had several times. When somebody takes a list of quotes, quotes he can not copyright, and then arranges them in a specific maner, say cronologicly, does that mean that nobody can ever arrange those non-copyrighet quotes in that given order? If yes, is it enough that we jumble the order? Or does it mean that its a copyvio to even have all the quotes in the same page? If no, does it simply mean that there is no copyvio here? I view it as there is no copyvio, its a list of quotes, its not sensible to claim copyrights over it.--Striver 14:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since we're both clearly stumped, I think we need an expert opinion of some kind on this - do you think an RfC might be able to produce someone who might know? Dev920 16:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Ok, I've listed this article at RfC and posted on the talk page of Kjkolb, who is recommended to ask about copy vio. Now we wait and see. Dev920 23:50, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, coming back from RFC (as opposed to AFD above), I'll say again that the article needs more text and fewer lists.  Try writing prose that covers the controversy, including those portions of the quotes that you need to have good prose.  Then get rid of the quote list.  It might also be necessary to delete the copy-vio out of history, but that is a question for an expert on copy-vio issues.  I think the relevant portion of WP:COPY is "If some of the content of a page really is an infringement, then the infringing content should be removed, and a note to that effect should be made on the talk page, along with the original source. If the author's permission is obtained later, the text can be restored."  To me that means that the authenticity controversy needs to go.  Find a couple other sources on the authenticity controversy, and cite them in the prose replacing the list.  GRBerry 00:59, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Recharacterisation

message: I have lumped together a number of slightly disparate concepts under "recharacterisation".  Technically it would be possible to split this article out into three - title transfer risk, accountancy and tax.  But the three overlap, and to be honest, they are so dull that I cannot imagine anyone has the time or inclination to dupe out 3 separate articles on them, so for the moment I have just left them in a single place.

Talk:Green Hill (Lancashire)

message: There seems to be some confusion about which is the highest point in administrative Lancashire.  A google search gives several references to Gragareth being the highest point.  Gragareth, around 1 mile south of Green Hill has a height of 627m according to OS landranger 98.  The same map shows Green Hill with a height of 626m, the same as this article.  However, the website which has been used to source these county tops says Green Hill is 628m.    It would of course be much easier if we ignored these fake counties and just referred to the true Lancashire county top of Coniston Old Man.  Lancsalot 13:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see this has now been changed.  However the Lancashire article might also need changing.  Also is this really a mountain?  I think the name Green Hill provides a clue.  Lancsalot 14:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The OS map linked from the coordinates (pick 'Bing')  gives 626m at the default zoom level. But it gives 628m (at a different spot) if you zoom in.  Mr Stephen (talk) 20:18, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: OS maps clearly show that Gragareth is 627m AOD , whereas Green Hill is 628m AOD . (You may need to zoom out one level on the maps on the Streetmap site to see the 1:25k OS mapping.) OS is of course an authoritative, relable source. Bazonka (talk) 19:37, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Category talk:Railway stations in Copenhagen

message: Should this category automatically be added to articles with the  and  templates?
— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghent (talk • contribs) 2006-06-06 14:04:47
: I think that the baseline solution should be to create :Category:S-train stations and :Category:Copenhagen Metro stations, and then let each be subcategories of both this one and their respective system category. A harder problem is which stations should be direct members of this category. The principle I have followed so far is to manually add :Category:Railway stations in Copenhagen to stubs for stations located within the continuous urban area and not to stations in free-standing towns in open-countryside (e.g, Ballerup station is here, but Ølstykke station is not).   On further thought I am not sure that this is better for navigation. Perhaps the rule should be that a station is a direct member of :Category:Railway stations in Copenhagen if (a) it is inside the continuous Greater Copenhagen area, and (b) it is not purely an S-trains or metro station. Henning Makholm 17:46, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with your last criteria. An S-train-only station is not a proper railway station, per se, ad a Metro-only station is definitely not. I'll change the STL and CML templates to have their respective categories in them. Ghent 19:06, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Question is whether stations shouldn't be a subcategory of either "S-trains in Copenhagen" or "Copenhagen Meto", and not part of the main category. Ghent 19:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think that they should definitely be a subcategory of both (the beauty of categories is that a category can have more than one parent). Somebody who browses the category to find which articles about stations there are in Wikipedia may not share the notion that the S-train system is not a "proper" railway (I don't, for example), so it should be easy for him to find what he looks for by following the category links that he finds most natural. (Will start implementing this). Henning Makholm 21:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  What about stations like København H? I know that you'd give it three-double category membership (and four-double in 2017), but I would expect to find major stations in "Category:Railway stations in Denmark", and not in a subcategory. I don't know what my own opinion is; I'm just asking. Ghent 09:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think that somebody who is looking specifically for København H would be able to figure out to look for it in the Copenhagen subcategory when he's looking at :Category:Railway stations in Denmark. Henning Makholm 14:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lleu mortality 

message: This is rather confusing:
:The magician Gwydion (Gilfaethwy's brother), devised a plan to make Goewin available. He told his uncle about an animal that was new to Wales, called pigs, and how he could get them from their owner, Pryderi of Dyfed. He took a band of men, including his brother, to Ceredigion, where they disguised themselves as bards to gain audience with King Pryderi.
I cannot seem to figure out who "he" is. Because it is said, "He told his uncle", I'm assuming it is either Gwydion or Gilfaethwy but there is no way to know for sure. I'm not familiar with this, so can someone please edit this for clarity? I also edited the name Gwydion. In this section there were several spellings which might be confusing for the reader. There should be one fluid spelling throughout the article and the different spellings should be addressed in the Gwydion article.

replies: text: Is that better? -- backburner001 15:06, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The frustrating thing about trying to improve coverage of individual businesses is that too many editors want to delete articles on businesses as either not notable or as advertising when neither is the case, so contributors quickly learn not to waste their time writing articles that are just going to be deleted, or that will take more time to argue about in AfD than to write. If improving business coverage is a priority, then notability for businesses will have to be redefined more loosely. 16:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not the case.  All a person has to do is to write the article so as to indicate its notability, not making it a glowing ad extolling the features of the product or the company, but expalin its significance.  See WP:CORP.  User:Zoe|(talk) 16:47, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The page in the Italian Wikipedia is titled Cimitero del Verano. Which is the correct version of its name for use here? -- Deborahjay (talk) 12:04, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name discrepancy? 

message: Seeing that there was no consensus (or response) on the above topic, I'd like to propose that the article be renamed "Cimitero del Verano.". A simple Google search () shows that this has about 175,000 results, and seems to be the native Italian form. There's a precedent in English Wikipedia for keeping this form (cf. Cimitero Monumentale di Milano), although there is also precedent to the contrary (cf. Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno). In the case of this cemetery, though, I don't think it could be named "Monumental Cemetery of Verano"—that appears only 270 times on Google. — AlekJDS talk 04:59, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
