Talk:Mad Dog (DC Comics)

message: Amadeus does not call the killer Mad Dog, and the killer does not refer to himself as Mad Dog. The line is "They brought the animal before me, shameless and barking like a mad dog." Its #6 of the arkham recordings. There is however a riddle involving mad dog in the botanical gardens, but it is totally unrelated to arkham. Can someone fix that?

Talk:Leopold Pokagon

message: "A majority of the residents left"... in a land dispute between the Catholic Church and the Potawatomi, the only "residents" who left were Patawatomi, as evidenced by the phrase above "the Indian villages from Hartford, Rush Lake, Dowagiac, Niles, Buchanan in Michigan and South Bend in Indiana".
Why not tell the truth and say "A majority of the Potawatomi left"?  True, they were Patowatomi and Catholic, but the way it is written is a very weak attempt to sugar coat the actual event.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.7.233.199 (talk) 04:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Coos River

message: The image I found on the original stub article was named :Image:USACE Coos Bay Inlet.jpg. However, the description of this image at the Commons identifies it as the mouth of the Umpqua River at Winchester Bay. The links from the Commons image to the USACE source do not seem to work, which makes it hard to do fact-checking. However, I believe the description is correct and that this image is of Winchester Bay and the Umpqua and not of Coos Bay. In addition, the mouth of the Coos River is at the eastern end of Coos Bay and not on the Pacific Ocean. We need a photo of the Coos River. Finetooth (talk) 18:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi 72.160.72.167. With respect, I reverted your changes to the course description. The convention for stream-course descriptions is to start at the source and work down to the mouth and to name the tributaries left and right rather than by compass direction. In organizing the course description in the way I did, I was following guidelines discussed at WP:RIVERS and/or followed elsewhere on Wikipedia. Please see Columbia River or Larrys Creek, for example. Finetooth (talk) 19:20, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Fraternal Order of Police v. City of Newark

message: I plan to describe the legal context in which this decision sits. Specifically, I'll lay out the main legal question presented by the case (how many exceptions are acceptable for a law to still qualify as neutral and generally applicable under Employment Division v. Smith), and provide context by outlining why this is still an open question under Supreme Court precedent and how the answer offered by the Ninth Circuit differs from then-Judge Alito's answer.

message: Should there be a picture with this article?  The last sentence sounds as if one was originally attached... User:Kayobee 7th October 2006
: The author is effectively leaving a placeholder for such a picture of the Trebizond omphalos, if you have one. Another useful point to make is that an omphalos is often phallic.
: It would also be useful to add details of the date the Greek omphalos was transfered from Delphi, shortly after Constantine.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.29.93.129 (talk) 23:47, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing picture 

message: The question whether the Westminster Abbey Cosmati Pavement has omphalic import is interesting, as it is apocalyptic rather than nascentory, the Omega to an Omphalic Alpha. Indeed, Lodon also has a distinct stone, the London Stone, often thought to be its original Omphalos, although it has been moved several times. Equally, a location in St Paul's Churchyard is often claimed to be that site.
I have therefore added it as a footnote, rather than an integral part of the meme, because its design and use is evidently very similar to that of the Hagia Sophia. If anyone more knowledgable wishes to promote it, pray do so.
It would also be interesting to search the Vatican for a similar pavement for the coronation of Popes, and possibly Aachen, for the Holy Roman Empire.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.29.93.129 (talk) 23:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  the original Jane 

message: So an official video was made for Jane Says from Kettle Whistle but it isn't listed here. This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7Q_8q3XXrQ
What's kind of interesting about it though is the video version has Flea on bass, but if you look on the Kettle Whistle Wikipedia you'll see Flea didn't play on that track. 
A soundboard recording of that show (7.24.1991) is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL2yfEVnYlM . That is clearly the version on Kettle Whistle and from the video.
Here is a video of a concert at Hammerstein Ballroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PzoKyv9fvk apparently from Halloween of 1997. That is clearly where the video for the official video is from, which explains how the video has Flea though the audio does not.
I mean I guess that's original research, although it also just seems like facts. Can it be added to the article?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gripdamage (talk • contribs) 22:53, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Please consider the image on the right  to illustrate this article.

The bottom image was taken using the same flash and positioning but without the softbox. Additional technical information can be included if necessary.  Dazzpedian (talk) 06:30, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

text: As you say "it's really just showing the advantage of flash versus no flash", I'd argue it's much worse. This picture is artificially exaggerating the differences, as the two parts are shot from different angles: Without the softbox the model's head is close to the horizon, with drab clouds giving a bright background with the model lacking fill-in light to the point it looks underexposed. Now compare the one with the softbox, which is taken from a much lower angle: The well-lit head is against the blue sky above the clouds, possibly further darkened by using a polariser. This comparison is wildly unfair and as such doing this article a disservice. Good reason to take it out, as I'll do right now.WikiPidi (talk) 12:09, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Akio Kashiwagi

message: See this revision.
I've placed a lot of inline citations, but they're not extraneous; Kashiwagi was secretive, so media reports are scarce; and as a casino customer, he was given full privacy, so quite a few of the reports are based on casino owners' words (mostly off-the-record). There's also a relative amount of telephone game and distortion, as outlets quote each other, with "according to X person" turning into "reportedly", and then turning into fact stated in the writer's voice. That's why there are so many inline citations: to easily see which news article supports which facts. Please don't try to group these citations together, or it'll just be harder to track down where each claim originated.
In places where news reports disagreed on numbers or facts, I picked what seemed like the most reliable claims. I would recommend against changing numbers and figures based on FUTON sources (like the Politico piece) unless you have access to all the other articles, and can make that same judgment for yourself!

Feel free to re-add using a more WP:RS. - LuckyLouie (talk) 17:04, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm.  Ok, well, I happened upon that detail while seeking info about Nozaki's residency in Echo Park (which was easier to cite with RS's, by the way!), around both the Echo Park, California & Category:People from Echo Park pages that I'm working on.  I don't remember a bit about an "alien" craft.  It seemed pretty darn interesting, though I may not have time to track that down elsewhere given the other things I am juggling at this time.  That article details an interview with Nozaki, though...and notes that Nozaki mentioned in the interview that he seldom spoke of either that or his internment.  It seems to pertain to the very night that it happened, and in fact consisted of more than just flashes in the distance, but whatever it was flew right over him, according to the interviewer.  Is there other good reason not to trust the source, by the way?   Might be tough to source elsewhere, but I've not dug at all.  Perhaps another editor will be engaged enough in these two articles to do the legwork on that. duff 03:01, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Considering the WP:REDFLAG extraordinary claims this guy is making (i.e. Nozaki privately confided to him that a UFO sighting inspired his production design for WoTW. Nozaki's LA Times obit cites a completely different inspiration: the shape of a manta ray) and the fact that they are totally unverifiable, there's more than a few reasons not to trust it.
