Talk:Ingrian language

message: This name should be changed into "Izhorian language" to avoid confusion with the Ingrian dialects spoken by Ingrian Finns. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 08:31, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Strongly oppose, the Ingrian language is the canonical name as used by most academic sources (e.g. Kati 2017, Saar 2014, Markus 2010, Gordon 2009...), other Wikimedia projects and relates to Ingria, whence it's from. It's not uncommon to have languages and dialects that seem close, cf. Irish and Hiberno-English. If anything, Ingrian dialects should be moved to Ingrian Finnish (replacing the current redirect).

Talk:Red-and-green macaw

message: Template:Video has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion#Template:Video the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page.
The nominator Chris Cunningham/User:Thumperward removed the template from all the articles and then nominated it for deletion. This is a well-known Wikipedia:Ownership gambit by stealth removing a feature with mass edits and then claiming it's not used as a reason for deletion.  
He then reverted my attempt to keep the video template on an article page at least until the deletion discussion is completed. This prevents editors from making any comparisons on the technical merits of the template, which further forces you to accept his ownership of articles presenting videos. I have requested a Speedy Keep due to his unconsensed mass edits, until there can be an informed and un-owned editorial discussion on the technical merits. 
Until he again re-reverts, you can at least temporarily revert his edit to see what the video template looked like, and then consider the technical issues on their merits which are described at the template deletion discussion. Milo 02:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Reading an Argentine source the historical distribution was thought to include the Argentine provinces of Formosa, Chaco, Corrientes and Misiones until the 1960s, when it was largely considered extirpated. It appears to be making a comeback both in Argentina and southern Brazil. It has been known to be present in Iguazú National Park for some years, and the population seems to be naturally spreading southward. Eh, I'll just add the info as prose, but the map is still wrong.

Talk:Gemma Bissix

message: Only when the lead is of sufficient length (i.e., several paragraphs), not just a few sentences, should any awards she has won be mentioned (not that she has any of real note, in my opinion). See Marilyn Monroe's article for guidance. I'm only going by the manual of style, which was the reason I removed the awards bumpfh in the beginning. - Dudesleeper /  Talk 17:24, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasnt the only thing you removed, you removed her roles too and just left a generic sentence . How are we supposed to make the lead a "sufficient length" if you choose to remove everything from it? Whether you think her awards are of note is irrelevant. If her article covers them, which it does as there's a huge table in the middle of it, then it is perfectly reasonable to state that she has won awards in the lead, as it is supposed to be summarising the entire article.--GunGagdinMoan 19:22, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My removal of the lead was because you can't be "best known" for multiple roles - it doesn't make sense. - Dudesleeper /  Talk 19:41, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Gennadi Gerasimov

message: I removed NPOV text vociferously decrying the accusations of corruption by appealing to Gerasimov's being instrumental in promoting peace.  Being an active pacifist is no proof against corruption; moreover the only claim is that he stands accused of corruption and money laundering, not that he is in fact corrupt.  Please remember that this is an encyclopedia and not a conversation.
