Talk:Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern

message: This section seems to take a very real-world perspective on the themes of the book which could make the fantastic setting less clear to Wikipedia readers who haven't read the book. This part in particular troubles me: "and also describes how modern forms of transportation, especially air travel, can spread a disease worldwide during its incubation period, allowing the disease to spread far more widely before pathologists are able to recognize the magnitude of the outbreak."   It seems odd to portray dragon-riding as 'modern' 'air travel', and certainly portraying the characters who work out the vaccine as pathologists is overstating the case. Any other thoughts?

thread_title: Original research

message: This article is so problematic it might be better to delete it and start again.  I was going to change some things in it but there is so much wrong with it I can't be bothered.  If anyone else can, here are some ideas:
"Although swing was designed for dancing, bebop was not." This is untrue when put as plainly as this, and irrelevant, and in any case lacks any sources to back it up.
The whole of that section is full of vague notions about bebop that aren't really true: "Bebop used complex chord progressions, unusual altered chords and extended chords, and extensive modulations, including to remote keys that are not closely related to the tonic key (the main key or home key of a song)."  This is not really true, since many bebop tunes wither were, or were based on, songs used in the swing era.
This next bit is so general it's really of no value, especially without examples: "Whereas Dixieland and swing tunes might have one chord change every two bars with some sections with one chord change per bar, bebop tunes often had two chord changes per bar with many changing key every four bars."
"In addition, since bebop was for listening rather than dancing, the tempo was not constrained by danceability; bebop tunes were often faster than those of the swing era."  Also not really true.  People did dance to bebop and people played bebop for dancers.  Bebop tunes were not, as a rule, faster than swing tunes, although they may have featured "faster notes" in the solos.
I can't believe this article isn't brilliant, considering what a rich topic it is.  Hopefully someone with more energy than me will come along and rewrite it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.2.161 (talk) 18:49, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Anti-Miscegenation Amendment

message: Was going to add text of the amendment, and clean up the commentary, but Wikipedia won't let me as it has "already been edited" -- of course it was -- by me.
Bailing out of Wikipedia for good. There are too many cites now paying for information.
Why are gay rights issues in this article? Anti-Miscegenation laws in the Jim Crow era were intended to prohibit interracial marriages not gay marriage. While there is certainly a connection in term of some people wishing to place limits on the right to marriage, gay marriage has no place in this article, which is to deal with proposed Constitutional Amendment to ban interracial marriage in 1911. The information on gay marriage needs to removed since it has nothing to do with that 1911 Amendment. Perhaps a link to gay marriage issues on the bottom would suffice. --Ian Struan 07:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tom Eyen

message: User:Louisalebwohl, I strongly object to your pulling information out of chronological context to stow it into a "legacy" paragraph at the bottom.  The reader should understand these things in connection with the decades when they happened.  His legacy is not just '70s prolific-ness and 60's experimental theatre, it is also Dreamgirls, so what you did is misleading.  I also object to your separating the material into stubby little paragraphs. The paragraphs, as they are now constructed, are sensible groupings of related materials. Now that we disagree on your remaining changes, instead of simply reverting, you should discuss here your *reasons* for desiring each change. Maybe you will persuade me or others.  See WP:CONSENSUS.

Talk:Doctor Who at the BBC: The Plays

message: I really REALLY do not want to sound mean, but I'm having a difficult time seeing how the two-cd set containing these three plays should have its own article. Each of the plays should, and one does already. I don't really see anything that can be added here that can't be fulfilled by the existing Doctor Who audio releases list. Can we agree to make this a redirect, and point articles about the three plays back to the aforementioned list? --JohnDBuell 04:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me as valid as any other compilation album, countless examples of which have their own articles.  I also believe its notable as the only commercial release of these shows. Rob T Firefly 04:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Compilation albums themselves are the source of quite a bit of controversy though, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. And the set's ONLY notability might be the release of these three plays on CD. If there were more diverse elements that individual articles about the individual plays could NOT serve (such as the case with Doctor Who at the BBC 1, 2 and 3) I could easily see and defend a case for an article about the CD release. With this one though, I can't. Don't take it personally, please, I just can't agree with your reasoning as stated. --JohnDBuell 05:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No worries about me taking anything personally, I'm not that kind of Wikipedian. ;-D  I must admit I'm a bit surprised though, as I expected the issue to come up with Dalek I Love You (radio) (an article I cleaned up for notability in part by referencing the CD release) and not this article.  I thought people would want to zap the individual play articles and redir them here.  In any case I would love to get more discussion going, and have posted a note to the Dr Who Wikiproject to get some more opinions on this. Rob T Firefly 07:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi GarrieIrons - thanks for your comments.  As you would have seen Boinka was not a hoax - in fact it has a rich history. (Actually I was quite happy with the article and its rich start). I take your point on not including it as a town - but if you have a look at the article again you will see that I had not done so - referring to it only as a locality and it is (again as is already posted on that page not within Mildura (it is 174km from that City).  To the point of whether localities should or should not be included .... We had the same discussion when constructing Template:Riverina with the consensus agreeing to include localities/communities as a part of the template providing that such a place met strict guidelines (including that the location/community was actually still physically locatable in some way) - see here for details of that discussion. However I realise that by not including the word communities in the template that might not seem so clear so I have adjusted that part this morning at Template:Sunraysia.  Finally to your point about www.travelmate.com.au - the link actually goes directly to a search page (a map is not being suggested - only distances are) where any person can type place A and place B to see the distances between the two locations.  The alternate - given that there are at least 4 locations being referenced is to make the info box totally unworkable).  Cheers. --VS talk 21:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I pulled the edit because small press magazines regularly open and close to subs.  In fact, per Ralan.com (http://www.ralan.com/sfpro/sf_pro.htm#B), it closed to subs in November, '06 and should reopen in Jul 2007.  It's not worth keeping an entry updated for that - a reader can visit their website.
Now, if they close permanently (which, frankly, is something that I do wonder about given BG's recent history), that's a big issue and we can change the article to reflect that (move it to :Category:Defunct_magazines, etc).
