thread_title: Untitled

message: I propose pruning and merging When I Grow Up (webcomic) into the Wigu#History section. This is because (1) When I Grow Up has only two independent references - and interview by Mike Meginnis from Webcomics Examiner and Matt Willemain's video'ed interview (poor quality) at I-CON; (2) it has been tagged with notability for fiction since October 2007; and (3) without better references I cannot see it surviving a merge in any case, so it may as well be merged.
If anyone wishes to merge it, or supply references to avoid the merge, go ahead. -Wikianon (talk) 18:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

: *See Snooker for info on the blue ball used in the game of snooker.
The blue ball is implicitly mentioned there, but no info beyond point value and order to play it. There's not much more at Snooker_rules#The_balls.
IMO anyone who wants to add 
: * Blue ball, one of the colour balls specified by the rules of snooker 
to the accompanying Dab should first state one or more scenarios where a user not only 
: has reason to believe they would do better by looking for "Blue ball" in WP than 
:: searching for WP pages combining "snooker" with "balls", or with "rules", and than 
:: looking for a snooker rule book off WP, but also 
: gets to that info. 
If there's a consensus that that prospect outweighs the cluttering affect of the entry, then we should have one like it. I'm not placing one bcz that sounds far-fetched to me.--Jerzy•t 07:34, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Kate Carnell

message: She was never a Premier at all.
She was not the first female Chief Minister - that was Rosemary Follett (ALP).  
Her only claim to fame is the first female Chief Minister representing the Liberal Party.  But so what?
She may have been lobbying to take over Margaret Reid's senate seat, but that did not eventuate and another former Chief Minister Gary Humphries is now the Liberal Senator for the ACT.

Talk:Altaic languages

message: The article reads like it's trying to strike a balance on a very touchy issue, which is fair. Obviously the Altaic hypothesis has some small degree of mainstream support, but it's important that the article be clear that the support it experiences is fairly minor, because as is it feels like undue weight is being given to perspectives which are either old enough that our improved understanding of the comparative method and greater corpus renders them moot, or which are coming from a small group of researchers who accept the hypothesis in the absence of much evidence or consensus. The article definitely needs to spend less time treating both sides of this discussion as coming from equal places. Warrenmck (talk) 04:02, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  This hypothesis had a very brief moment of near acceptance back when it was first proposed in the middle of the last century and data on these languages (especially Tungusic) was sparse and not widely disseminated, but as data became more readily available, support dropped to a much lower level and has never recovered.  --TaivoLinguist (Taivo) (talk) 04:29, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Sub-Saharan Africa

message: This term has been used in racist ways by many people in a attempt to build a invisible wall from north Africa to black Africans to the south. The vast majority of West and East African countries shouldn't be considered "sub" but because their populations are mostly black, it's sub. 2601:8C:981:A3C0:E4ED:4ACE:8F9C:E055 (talk) 00:25, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  This term is ridiculous and racist and no one can change my mind 

message: I am confused. Is the term "Black Africa" now in English used or not? In German this term exists (Schwarzafrika), beside other terms (Sub-Sahara). I am born in 1969. When I went to school the term "Neger"/ "negroe" was not rassistic. Rassistic were terms like "nigger", "Kaffer". This maybe has changed, what I accept. But the term "schwarz" / "black" is still o.k. isn´t it? (Even if niger nothing else means).
Therefore I wonder whether the term Schwarzafrika / Black Africa is now banned. BTW: The name Niger for both country and river is also still alive, isn´t ist?Flk-Brdrf (talk) 09:45, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Proton (physics)

message: From the article:
The proton was discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford as part of his discovery of the atomic nucleus.
Not really.  Prior to Rutherford, the dominant model of the atom was the plum pudding model, where there were a mixture of positive and negative charges scattered throughout the atom.  All that Rutherford did was to show that the positive charges were clustered in the atom.  It is therefore somewhat debatable to claim that he discovered the proton.  That really aught to be the person who first positied the plum pudding model (as it required a distinct, positivly charged particle), or to whoever measured the proton, in some form or another.  As I can't name either person, I'm going off to do some research, but I'm not comfortable with the above statement as it stands. Syntax 02:53, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm.  School teacher lie.  I forgot that.  Plum pudding model had a uniformly distributed positive charge.  Syntax
So who discovered America? Someone who proposed in might be over-there somewhere, or Columbus? (leaving aside all the pre-Columbian discoveries of coure; you take my point) Mintguy (T) 02:56, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

text: Um, on the assumption that's not a pointless troll, Rutherford didn't (as far as I'm aware) suggest the existance of a particle with a positive charge equal to the electron, but rather that all the positive charge was collected in the centre.  No discretely charged particles == No proton. Syntax 03:06, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Rastapopoulos/Archive 1

message: There must be some mistake.
In 'Tintin in America', a picture on p. 57 indeed shows a character bearing
a likeness to Rastapopoulos. However, the head of that character is rather
elongated and somewhat folded back, while Rastapopoulos' head is rather
spherical.
The character resembling Rastapopoulos must be Senator GOODNEWS (see p.
51), a victim of 'KIDNAP, Inc.', a 'public company' run by an unnamed gangster
leader (p. 50).
On the other hand, the same picture on p. 57 shows another character
wearing a uniform: it must be General M. R. C. SWORD, another victim of the
same 'company', who was put in a cell next of Sen. Goodnews' one (p. 51). Both
men should have been freed from their jail after Tintin succeeded in capturing
the kidnapper gang.

replies: text: As the individual who made this move, I personally think that it should stay as "Roberto Rastapopoulos". It is the characters' full name after all, as canonically specified in the series. Most works of Tintinology also choose to refer to the character by his full name, rather than just his surname. For these reasons, I think that it really should retain the name at which it currently stands. Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 22:29, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
