Talk:Division of Batman

message: The AEC recently decided to rename this division to Cooper, as stated at https://www.aec.gov.au/media/media-releases/2018/06-20.htm. The division isn't going to be "abolished" as the article currently states. I tried to fix it, but was reverted twice by User:The Drover's Wife.  There's no alternative reference that says the division is going to ba abolished. Horatio (talk) 11:31, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Please see the lengthy discussion regarding this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian politics and respond there rather than creating a new discussion. There is a longstanding consensus and practice across all federal and state electorate articles that we create new articles in this situation, which a majority of editors who responded support maintaining. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:35, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  You could have pointed me there instead of just reverting with no reason. But anyway, Wikipedia should reflect reality, not just make stuff up because it's convenient. The wording should be that the division is "renamed", because that's how the AEC describes it, regardless of whether a new article is created for the new name, or if this one is moved.

Talk:Avid Elastic Reality

message: What is the Wikipedia standard for articles about software which has changed hands many times throughout it's life?  In this case, the software known as Elastic Reality was owned by several companies (I think even SoftImage owned it for v2.0 but I can't confirm that).   So my question is should this article be named "Avid Elastic Reality" or just "Elastic Reality"?  
What is the convention for other similar articles?
thanks
:Avid owns Elastic Reality today, the trademark and everything, so it is appropriate to have it here.  FYI, the software was I believe branded 'Softimage' in 1998 when they rebranded all effects software with Softimage.  However Softimage is simply another brand owned by Avid.  --Lucericr 01:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Song of Hannah

message: User:FDuffy appears to have identified a single source for claims that "most textual scholars" believe that Samuel in the story of Hannah (Bible) really refers to Saul. No source is given in this article. User:FDuffy identified a source in the King Saul article, as the personal web site of Rabbi Moshe Reiss, , a self-published source. Per WP:RS, 
:A self-published source is a published source that has not been subject to any form of independent fact-checking, or where no one stands between the writer and the act of publication. It includes personal websites, and books published by vanity presses. Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, and then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources.
None of the exceptions to self-published sources (e.g. by someone known to be highly regarded in a field) appear to apply here. Accordingly, it appears that this content is not reliably sourced and should be deleted. This is particularly true of the claim that "most" textual scholars hold this view. --Shirahadasha 13:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to most textual scholars it actually refers to the birth of Saul, with Samuel's name having been substituted awkwardly for Saul in the preceeding narrative; the text is generally considered by biblical scholars to be more likely to have originally been a song of praise directed at a king than a prayer referring to the birth of a prophet. Its seemingly non-prayer-like nature was noticed by classical scholars, who believed that Hannah's prayer was silent and unrecorded, and that the Song of Hannah was what was said afterwards.
--Shirahadasha 13:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

text: It's rather a long gap to be coming back to this, but does anybody know which article from the Jewish Encyclopedia FDuffy was referring to above?  Candidates might be Hannah, Saul, Samuel, Samuel, Books of.  Is this theory mentioned in any of them?  I might have missed something, skimming over the articles too quickly, but I didn't see it there.  Jheald (talk) 20:47, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Judgement Day (Judge Dredd)

message: This page started as "Judgement Day (Judge Dredd)" and was moved to "Judgment Day (Judge Dredd)". I have moved it back again. The original move was because Amazon.co.uk listed the trade paperback with the US spelling (with one E). However the same website lists another edition of the same book with the UK spelling (two Es). So there is little to choose between them. Since the story appeared in a UK comic, it ought to have UK spelling. Richard75 (talk) 18:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: More importantly 2000 AD spell the story "Judgement Day" on their site  . I can always go and dig out the originals but up until that recent trade the English version is the spelling used since the story first started which is the one that should be used.

Talk:Division of Gippsland

message: Added good image of current member here. User:Frickeg removed it almost immediately here. I didn't realise Frickeg owned these articles. Not that they're that busy anyway, but seems eminently logical to me to include an image of the sitting MP in an article about the Electoral Division, especially when he is mentioned five times in the article. Opinions? --jjron (talk) 15:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Please don't throw WP:OWN at me just because I disagreed with something you did. Any user has every right to remove something they disagree with, and then you start a discussion, as you have done here. I'll also notify WT:AUP, since as you said this page isn't very busy. I agree that the image is a good one (well done), and it certainly helps with articles on Chester himself and on the by-election. This page, though, is about the seat, which is a political entity, and is not about Chester at all (and three of those mentions are in standard tables). In relation to Gippsland itself, it seemed to me that an image of Chester was not particularly relevant (a bit like including a map of Gippsland in Chester's article), but I'm open to being convinced on the matter. Frickeg (talk) 21:55, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Frickeg is correct. We do not add a good photo of every sitting MP to their seat division. It belongs on their biography article, not their seat article. Timeshift (talk) 22:46, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Division of Lalor

message: The following was added by Melbuniartsstudent
Safe Seat?
In Australian Politics Lalor is considered to be a safe Labor seat. This is despite the margin dropping ten points in 1996 and Gillard now sitting on eight percent. An eight percent margin is still quite safe in the Australian House of Representatives but many respected political commentators believe that if the numbers continue in the same trend, this seat could become marginal Labor and conceivably winnable for the Liberal Party in a few parliamentary terms.
Could you please provide a citation supporting these assertions. In particular, who are these "many respected political commentators"? Dlw22 09:54, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The article, without citation, states that the pronunciation is /ˈlɔːlər/. Australian English is non-rhotic so no Australian would say ˈlɔːlər, the closest would be ˈlɔːlə. 
The "citation" in the article is actually a note that says, obviously without any source: "Those familiar with the suburb (not contained within the electorate itself), but not the electorate, may erroneously pronounce it [ˈlæɪloː] or [ˈlæɪlə]." 
According to the citation on the Wikipedia page for Peter Lalor his name was pronounced /ˈlɔːlər/. It probably was, but somewhere in the intervening 130+ years since his death Australian speech became non-rhotic so nobody is saying ˈlɔːlər. 
Also while the citation from the 2005 Macquarie Dictionary claims ˈlɔːlər (don't know, don't have it) the ccurrent edition of Macquarie online says "/ˈlɔlə/ (say 'lawluh)". 
Also I question the concept that ˈlɔlə is correct and ˈlæɪloː or 'læɪlə wrong if a very significant portion of the population uses the "wrong" form. 58.7.137.83 (talk) 19:25, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Division of Mallee

message: I have removed the title "Dr" from Anne Webster that was added by . Consistent with Results of the 2019 Australian federal election in Victoria we don't normally include "Dr" in lists of members, whether they are medical practitioners eg Wentworth (Kerryn Phelps) and Bradfield (Brendan Nelson) or Phd, eg Fenner (Andrew Leigh), Melbourne (Dennis Jensen) and  Senators (Brett Mason).

I have yet to work on the NSW pages, while Leigh and Jensen were oversights that I forgot to take into account. I think the title should be included as most sources - be it parliamentary or otherwise - refer to the members by this title, and I'm surprised that they haven't been included on these sorts of lists yet.

How exactly is Michael Moore capitalizing off of 9/11?  He produced a documentary about the Bush administration's mishandling of foreign affairs bother before and after 9/11.  I would not call that "profiteering," given that public reaction (while mixed on the political content of Moore's film) was overwhelming informed by the clips Moore used in his documentary.  This sounds like conservative political ideology on your part to specifically mention two known liberal filmmakers, especially since I could do more than mention no-bid contracts as a way of illustrating true profit off of others' tragedy.
