Category talk:Feathered dinosaurs

message: It seems to me that this category is only useful if it is restricted to non-avian dinosaurs which show fossil evidence of feathers, as per the description line. As it stands about half the animals listed do not meet this criterion or are definately within clade Avialae. I'm removing these links and adding missing names. Let me know if I'm out of line here. I'll leave the present entries for family level taxa since they contain fossilized feathers. --Dinoguy2 04:59, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Restrictions 

message: I have removed "Archaeoraptor" due to it not being a real taxon and added a few missing taxa. Should Psittacosaurus count, too? We have Tianyulong... Albertonykus (talk) 23:58, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure that Psittacosaurs quills have ever been explicitly linked to feathers. But it could be added as it's relevant to the topic. So should Archaeoraptor, even though it's not valid. This category isn't a phylogeny, just a collection of related articles. If the category was Avifilopluma, that's actually a clade and would be a different story. This is just a topic. MMartyniuk (talk) 01:40, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I see. However, the description says "non-avian dinosaur genera that have been shown by fossil evidence to have been feathered", which makes it sound like it only includes actual taxa and not just the whole subject, which led me to delete Archaeoraptor. And what about groups that include the feathered taxa? Would they fit? Albertonykus (talk) 04:17, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I see... actually I think I put that qualifier in there years ago to help keep taxa inferred to be feathered via bracketing out :) As for groups it depends on what we want the use of this cat to be. I suppose that "mission statement" could include higher taxa the feathered species belong to, but not those inferred via bracketing. So Oviraptorosauria can be included but not Oviraptoridae. And "Archaeoraptor" is a feathered dinosaur genus, just not a valid one (it's a nomen nudum)... would be like including "Ovoraptor" under Category:Dromaeosauridae, if "ovoraptor" had its own article for some reason. Which wouldn't be a bad idea (not that I think that case deserves a separate article). MMartyniuk (talk) 05:33, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Understood. Come to think of it, there are other doubtful genera in the list, too. (Like "Cryptovolans" and "Epidendrosaurus", though through synonymy rather than being hoaxes.) How broad should the groups be, if we were to add them? Up to Coelurosauria? (Heterodontosauridae in the case of Tianyulong.) Albertonykus (talk) 23:51, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I probably wouldn't go that far, since we don't know the feather status of basal coelurosaurs (or really, which things ARE basal coelurosaurs). I'd say Tyrannoraptora at most (though we don't have an article on that one, probably for the best, don't need an article on every last clade ever named even if they're two nodes apart and are nearly identical in content).

Talk:Sea of Korea

message: I think that Sea of Korea should be redirected to the article on the naming dispute because people who want to find out about Sea of Korea wouldn't need to read about Sea of Japan. Plus, many readers would miss the naming dispute article hyperlink, and think that Sea of Korea and Sea of Japan are really the same thing. Yes, they are, physically, but, historically, they are not. I changed the article to trigger other people into this discussion, so that we can talk about this. But, I don't really mean to change the redirection unless others agree. Plus, I see that Masterhatch put the redirection to the naming dispute article; so, I have at least one Wikipidian who supports me. (Wikimachine 05:16, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Under the Production section in the main article it says this "The title sequence for Part One was tinted green as an experiment, but was not repeated for subsequent episodes. The title sequence would stay constant for the next six years."
I just finished watching all 4 episodes and in actual fact the intros to episodes one, two and three are all tinted differently.  Episode 4 is tinted the same as episode 3 though.  Episode 1 is more saturated, not green, the yellows are more apparent.  Episode 2 is the more green one, and episode 3's intro is silvery-blue.  I checked this multiple times.

Talk:The Pirate Planet

message: I was curious if anyone knew if Douglas Adams was influenced by Star Wars in writing this story, or if The Empire Strikes Back was subsequently influenced by this story.  The story has masked stormtroopers, a half-cybernetic villain who preys on his own subordinates, a planet-destroying space station, laser gun battles, flying cars, the use of telepathy/psychokinesis and the seeking out/training of a chosen one who naturally possesses such powers, an ice planet essentially devoid of life, and other parallels.  It all leads me to wonder if there were other contemporaneous sources for these sci-fi elements or if there might not have been some cross-fertilization going on. 107.10.63.215 (talk) 03:04, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:The Leisure Hive

message: Every serial between The Leisure Hive and The Five Doctors is linked in some way, either directly leading from one storyline to the next, or through direct reference.
That isn't strictly true as the between season gaps rarely reference the last story of previous season. For instance there could be a gap of months or years (in the continuity of the show) between Time-Flight and Arc of Infinity (hence the later "spin-offs" being set during the gap such as many of the audios by Big Finish. Also others are not depicted as following directly from the previous story or have a very tenuous connection for instance the gap between 'Castrovalva' was seen as big enough to fit the novel Cold Fusion (publishef as part of the Virgin Missing Adventures line). Also the only connection to The Visitation in Black Orchid is a line about the last time the TARDIS crew were on earth, they could have been to many other worlds in the mean time for all we know (and the BBC novel 'Divided Loyalties' is set between those stories). This is a very dubious statement and although partly true in a way, may need a rewrite as it seems to imply that any reference to the preceding story means it must be set directly after it.
Beginning with this story, the Doctor abandoned his famous multi-colored scarf in favour of a burgundy and purple one. Also, the question mark motif made its first appearance here as a regular element of the Doctor's wardrobe for his next three incarnations. The Doctor also sported a new burgundy overcoat, as part of his new colour coordinated clothing. For the first time, Tom Baker's Doctor would appear in the same costume for every episode in a season.
Again, this isn't strictly true as the Doctor appears in the same costume in every story in Tom Baker's first season (Season 12) as those stories were connected and depicted as taking place one after the other.

Talk:Full Circle (Doctor Who)

message: I watched this story on VHS recently and the total duration was about 78 minutes according to the display on my VCR. This is significantly less than that suggested by the article. Was the story edited down for VHS release? Are the official timings wrong? Is my VCR/DVD player faulty? Custardslice7 (talk) 09:08, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot of stories were edited for VHS, there were two main reasons. First, there were sometimes cuts for content in order to qualify for a U certificate. Second, several four-episode stories (nominally 96-100 minutes in total) were routinely edited to fit a 90-minute tape, usually by removing the opening titles and recap scene from all episodes except the first, and the closing titles from all episodes except the last; these sometimes required further cuts for timing. The practice of joining the episodes together and editing for length ceased in mid 1989, and most of the stories that were originally released in cut form were later reissued uncut. So the first question is - are the closing and opening titles between the episodes? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:11, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
