thread_title: Photos

message: Under Centro Properties Group#Current operations I notice the following example of several similar citations:
:Centro currently has interests in total assets claimed to be worth USD$22.6 billion Centro Properties Group website 6 October 2008 (at June 2008) representing approximately 810 shopping centres in three countries – Australia, New Zealand and the United States - with over 106 million square feet of retail space in the United States alone.Centro Properties Group 6-10-2008
I question whether this type of citation is acceptable because it refers only to a website which can be changed from day to day—thus relying on the initiating editor's honesty and/or the reader's credulity. Unencyclopedic, I would suggest! The second web citation has in fact already changed from "106 million" to "104 million" as at today's date.

Talk:Peter Gilbert

message: I'm a little confused by the edits by User:Krism84 and User:Gilzine removing mentions of the player having trials with various clubs: in particular, User:Gilzine's statement that the player wasn't on trial at Mansfield, Southend or Northampton. All three clubs on their official websites: Mansfield Town, Southend United and Northampton Town state that the player was on trial with them. I'm particularly surprised that you say Mr Gilbert was only "training with" Northampton, given that he played in a competitive reserve match for them and that their manager says on the club website here that "Peter Gilbert is still on trial with us and we will probably make a decision on him by the end of the week". Perhaps you could explain why all three clubs were mistaken in describing Mr Gilbert as being on trial? Meanwhile, I'll restore the article to the previous version, and change the newspaper reports of Mr Gilbert's trials with those clubs to refer to the club website reports instead, for clarity.
If you're acting on Mr Gilbert's behalf, and you still have concerns about this, please visit the page Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help, where you can find helpful suggestions on how to get assistance from people experienced in dealing with issues in articles about real people. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:17, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Taiwan/Archive 6

message: Clearly, this article's about twice as long as it should be, one way or another.  I note that:  much of the content overlaps with that of Taiwan (I express no opinion as to which said content should be in);  most of the sections have an associated "main article", so could be further condensed in line with Wikipedia:summary style, as Jiang mentions;  the "Politics" section is especially long, and does not seem to have a directly associated "main article" -- perhaps if it did, this section could be shortened considerably.

thread_title:  Comments on recent changes and the rudeness in the discussion 

message: Per the consensus agreed to on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese), the ROC and Taiwan are not equated in Wikipedia. Some people believe the ROC is Taiwan, some people don't. As the ROC Constitution has not yet been amended formally changing the title of the state, references to the state in Wikipedia should go with the official name which is still the ROC.  References to Taiwan in parentheses in some articles or lists where the name of the state is first mentioned are intended to relate to common useage of the terms interchangebly in normal speech only, and are generally only used once. As the Republic of China and China articles already explain the distinction and relation of the ROC and Taiwan in detail, including Taiwan in parentheses is unnecessary and excessively wordy. Furthermore doing so in several cases results in circular redirects to the same article. If you wish to dispute this guideline please do so on the appropriate article talk page rather then engaging in revert wars. Thank you. -Loren 23:42, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Milecastle

message: The present tense is inappropriate. A milecastle WAS a fortified structure. None of them are now, they just exist as remains, A milecastle didn't have a duty, but it had a role. There were not 81 of them, there were 80, numbered from No.1 in Wallsend to No. 80 at Bowness-on-Solway, though there has been a suggestion (Hill, 2001) that an additional milecastle existed at the eastern end of the wall in Wallsend (which would have to be numbered 0). However, there is no physical evidence for this. 
 There are 81 milecastle forts along Hadrian's Wall, supplemented by 160 manned turrets
If I read this correctly, the turrets are still manned. There is only evidence for 158 turrets, and no evidence that they were all manned, though it's generally assumed that they were, at least part of the time. The name generally used in historical and archaeological reference works is simply milecastlle. There's no concensus for the number of forts along the line of the wall. It may be 16, or it may be 17.
Citation No.2 is to a website article. Citations should be to reference works, not articles like the one cited, which in any case contains inaccuracies, and appears to come to several different conclusions to the sources IT cites. I'll rewrite the first paragraph to reflect all this, and remove citation No.2.  Rambler24 (talk) 19:35, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  HOMOSEXUALITY IN CLASSICAL ATHENS - AND IN THE NOVEL 

message: 1. LYSIS was not an Olympic victor - he makes it to the Isthmian games (NOT the Olympics) and in the final match he loses (and is, indeed, almost killed)
2. Alexis never meets ASTER - he sees the preternaturally beautiful boy performing at a religious festival and is entrtanced. However, Aster is the beloved of Aristokles (aka PLATO) and already fully involved in a relationship with him; therefore, Alexis keeps his distance - considerable distance. Further, Aster dies during the siege of Athens, prior to the surrender; after the siege and the surrender, Alexis comes upon the grave-stele and realizes that it was carved by SOCRATES (whose first profession was stone-carver).

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film/Film awards task force/Nominees guidelines

message: The talk page for the 80th Academy Awards nominees and winners includes a discussion about changing the format for the nominees pages. This discussion led to the decision that for each award, the winner should not only be formatted in bold type, but also indented differently from the other nominees and listed at the top of the list. The previous (and currently standard) format would be to list the nominees in order of announcement with the only difference between the winner and the other nominees being that the winner is listed in bold type. I suggest that the formatting standard be changed to this new suggested format and this take effect in all of the nominees pages.

However, the current Academy rule on the Cinematography award is clear that you do not have to be a member of any specific union or guild in order to be eligible. So is Wikipedia incorrect in the McCabe & Mrs. Miller article? Or was there formerly such a rule?
