Talk:The Devin Townsend Band

message: Since Ocean Machine's sole CD is released as DT now, it doesn't make sense for it to need its own page.  The number of bands that started as one name and merely switched names later on is numerous, most have but one page.  The lineup and sound is very closely similar to Ocean Machine.

thread_title: Discography/Albums

message: I merged this into Devin Townsend. There's just nothing to talk about. This band only existed as an outlet for Townsend's solo material. There is little to distinguish the two albums they did from Townsend's other eight releases. Musically, there's certainly no distinction between these two albums and the rest, since all of Townsend's albums are completely different, and AE and Synchestra were completely different from each other.
If the band were much more prominent, or even if they were still together, there would be something more to go on, but given the facts as they stand, this just isn't a notable group independent of Townsend. The fact that Townsend got input from these specific bandmates on these two albums doesn't make a big difference—I'm sure Townsend got some input from Hoglan on Terria, but that doesn't make that album's particular lineup significant.
That is the main reason; we also note that
* This article was very long but very poorly laid out.
* This article had no inline citations.
* The few references noted were not reliable, secondary sources.
* This article hadn't had a significant contribution in well over a year.
* This article almost exclusively documented Townsend's entire career before 2003 and after 2007.
* This article was almost entirely plagiarized.
* This article would not have survived a deletion discussion (in summary: WP:SNOW).
So, that's my take. —Heavyboat (Talk) 02:35, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Section "The Czech, Polish or Silesian sentence" does not respect historical (13th century) forms of Czech and Polish languages, e.g. modern Czech "dej" was "daj" before 16th or 17th century, 1st. sing. of "brousiti" (to sharpen) was also possibly different from modern "brousím".

thread_title:  The Czech, Polish or Silesian sentence 

message: I added the tag some time ago, maybe I should explain why: right now the chronicle is reduced to a single phrase, although the book describes a century of changes in Silesia. I only found one work about the book itself, "A Local Society in Transition. The Henryków Book and Related Documents" by Piotr Gorecki. Gorecki writes:
"Both the Henryków Book and the charters encompass a range of historical topics: the foundation of the monastery, and the resulting political and legal relationships; the history of each of the dozens of holdings included in the monastery’s estate; and the full roster of the bishops of Wrocław, the diocese where the monastery was situated. The second occupies most of the work in its entirety, making the Henryków Book a history of a substantial population, society, economy, pattern of lordship and power, spanning well over one full century before the work’s final redaction – in the words of the title, a local society in transition."

Talk:Altruism

message: I was just wondering why the "Philosophy" section of the "Altruism" article seemed smaller in comparison to the lengths of the Altruismsections pertaining to "Scientific Viewpoints" and "Religious Viewpoints"? </ref> User:Christopher_H._Moller/Evaluate_an_Article --Christopher H. Moller (talk) 09:30, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Length of the "Philosophy Section" of the "Altruism" Article 

message: Casual reader here - this article appears to deviate from sources such as the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy when describing altruism. 
"Altruism can be distinguished from feelings of loyalty or concern for the common good. The latter are predicated upon social relationships, whilst altruism does not consider relationships." This assertion seems to be disputed. 
The Stanford Encyclopedia article on this topic writes "The people whom we treat altruistically are often those to whom we have a sentimental attachment, or towards whom we feel grateful..." 
I think the second sentence should be removed and the first either also be removed or justified appropriately. 
Other proposed changes: 
The link to welfare appears to be wrong. It should link to wellbeing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-being rather than government support to individuals. 
The description of effective altruism as "the use of evidence and reason to determine the most effective ways to benefit others." should be replaced with "effective altruism claims to use evidence and reason..." so as to avoid the impression of endorsing the view or removed. I don't understand why this view of altruism is the only one introduced at the front of the article. 
Finally, the description of effective altruism under "Philosophy" should also either put its objectives in quotation marks or mark them as claims. 43.252.112.62 (talk) 16:48, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Swinton, South Yorkshire

message: There's an accident waiting to happen on Church Street from the new Gate Inn traffic lights down towards the Cabin, where the middle lane is for traffic approaching the lights, but is always encroached by traffic coming away from the lights and passing parked vehicles outside the shops. These vehicles should give way as their lane is blocked but they dont, they just barge into the middle lane.
:Please stop posting speculative statements and things that are not specific to Swinton itself eg:
1. During the 80's and 90's many in Swinton didn't have cars as a result a thriving bus service was in operation. Since then and the railway station reopened the bus service as dwindled to a small operation compared to the mid 90's when competition was really fierce among operators.
What an appauling statement to make. Bus services were much better during the mid 1900's than towards the end of the century - ask anyone who lived through that period.
2. During 2004 and 2005 there was speculation that the Sheffield Supertram would be extended to Swinton utilising the Manvers Shuttle link to create a link from many parts of Sheffield to the job opportunities in the Manvers area. However the local transport body SYPTE in 2005 said this couldn't be achieved due to cost and would only be able to extend to Parkgate.
This is a statement which is not Swinton specific but affects all areas along the route. It has been rejected by Government and so even the part to Parkgate is now unlikely to ever happen.
3. Although many mistake Swinton for Swinton near Manchester. This Swinton has been in press quite a few times over that last 30 years and many for all the wrong reasons
Swinton near Manchester has a much worse reputation mainly because it's larger and next to Manchester which itself doesn't have the best of reputations. The English here leaves a lot to be desired also.
::More Swinton folk edit this thing? Who? lol If it makes a difference I'm a certain (very) long-haired stoner... 
::There is actually a website somewhere with a load of stuff that could be added here. I can't remember what it's called but I know the guys who made it used to do a lot around the village, like getting the canal cleaned up and the like (lasted long eh?). For the record I haven't edited this page, but I'm still interested to find out who it is that lives in this backwards dive that actually has the intellect to do such things. Peace.
