message: First, it's not a crest, it's a coat of arms. Second, there's no such thing as a "family coat of arms" in the UK. (And certainly not in the US!) Arms are borne by single members of a family. The coat of arms may well stand for the family generally, but the only person who has the right to use it is the one who is granted that right or inherits it.
Third, this image has no copyright information. Copyright belongs to the person who created the image, even if the general form of the arms is public domain, since there is considerable latitude in how the blazon and its various elements are expressed.

Talk:Alfred Rosenberg

message: :I guess I should talk about this here? I keep trying to add this bit of info about the Institute for Study of the Jewish Question being the first branch of a projected Advanced School of the NSDAP (Hohe Schule) and Beyond My Ken keeps removing it. The first time he explained it by saying that it needed sources, I re-added it arguing that I had seen it in another part of Wikipedia (what is good for one entry should be good for every entry, I thought), and he removed it again arguing that "Wikipedia is not a reliable source". Which would be fine and dandy, except that he completely ignored that this time I had added sources, the same sources that the other Wikipedia entry uses. This is what one of them (The Jewish Museum Berlin, here: https://www.jmberlin.de/raub-und-restitution/en/glossar_i.php) says: "[The Institute] was the first branch of the planned elite National Socialist university "Hohe Schule."" I cannot access the other one, but this is what another article by the same author (which you can see here: https://www.errproject.org/docs/ERRParisLibraryLists2017.03.01.pdf) says: "Rosenberg had inaugurated the Institute for Research on the Jewish Question (...) in Frankfurtam Main, the only Hohe Schule institute that operated during the war". 
:How many more sources would I need for this small tidbit of info to prevent Beyond My Ken from removing it? Ten? Twenty? A sworn declaration by Ian Kershaw, Richard Evans, Ernst Piper and David Irving would be enough? Whatever it is, please ask and I shall try to find it. (62.57.34.204 (talk) 11:05, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

There are no quotations, and I don't think anything I wrote is controversial, so at this time, I agree that in-line citations are not needed.  I hope this article gets some scrutiny, and if any controversies come up, then we can resolve them with revisions and in-line citations as necessary.

thread_title:  Subheads 

message: If we are going to keep these generic questions, then I have a couple of proposals:
===Put the questions above the opinions===
In my head, people giving an opinion on RfA ought to be able to read up what kind of person they're commenting on prior to seeing the comments of others. This will discourage sheep voting and help to reduce the nature of the popularity contest that RfA has become. It seems madness to me to suppport/oppose someone you haven't read all the details about.
===Use proper headings===
We ought to use proper page headings for the support, oppose, neutral and comments sections, as well as for the questions for the candidate section. This will make the page far easier to navigate using the table of contents.
Feedback on these ideas would be appreciated. Rob Church Talk | Desk 10:55, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Category talk:Fiction

message: I was told that this :Category:Fiction is planned to be used (in the future, when boolean category queries become available) for excluding of "fictional everything" from queries. For this reason it contains sub-categories like :Category:Fictional books,
:Category:Fictional characters, :Category:Fictional companies, etc. 
I see at least four problems in this:
# Shouldn't :Category:Fiction and all affected subcategories include ?
# :Category:Fiction contains a number of articles and subcategories which aren't fictional, like Thriller.
# Down the subcategory tree, this idea relies on carefully including only fictional items in each subcategory. This is violated in several places as of now.
# It is complicated and time consuming to accurately sort all fictional articles into this elabborate hierarchy.
As an alternative I started a flat :Category:Fictional, but was advised to stop, see :Category_talk:Fictional. I still see no problem of having this category, even if it will grow to some 2000 to 6000 entries, I estimate (de.wikipedia has :de:Kategorie:Mann which in the moment holds about 2000 entries).
