Talk:Dextra Quotskuyva

message: The current article text is a cut-and-paste from http://www.holmes.anthropology.museum/southwestpottery/dextraquotskuyva.html
Details are on the currently-blocked article page. Holmes bio is factually correct, but our text is a blatant copyvio, sigh.
Notes for rewrite: 
* Painted Perfection: The Pottery of Dextra Quotskuyva, archive of dead link. Link has Martha Struever's mini-bio, a good source. I have the book, but it's in storage.
*My review of the catalog at Amazon, which has stuff I can use for a quick stub rewrite, to get the page back up.
Refs and links are fine, pdf is dead and probably gone. Text all needs rewrite. I'll get to it, maybe just a quick stub first till I find Struever's book --Pete Tillman (talk) 07:48, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright violation, rewrite notes. 

message: Dextra has indeed died. I was a guest of her family at Hopi and was on a day trip to Flagstaff when her daughter notified me of her death. It is my photo of her in this article. The next day I updated this article with the details of her death but it was removed several weeks later for lack of a reference. There is no published reference to her death. The records of Hopi headquarters is not public information. Please reinstate my original update. I can put anyone in touch with her daughter if necessary. This is an unacceptable omission to her bio. 2603:7081:2006:1680:4C5B:5DC:83EA:FE4 (talk) 14:34, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Teclea carpopunctifera

message: The article has been moved from plain  to  and back. I think the title without quotation marks is correct; the name Teclea carpopunctifera is in IPNI at 775296-1. The missing name, that could be used in quotation marks to show it hasn't been published, is "Vepris carpopunctifera". I think that PoWO treats the species as unplaced because it doesn't accept the genus Teclea but doesn't have a name in Vepris to call it. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:35, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no memory of making this move. It looks like I updated the POWO ref to use the template so can only imagine I did it based on that, but now at least POWO has no quotation marks so happy for it to move back. My only comment is that POWO says it is an 'unplaced name', but don't know what that means. I think I would prefer POWO as a source than IUCN, I've noticed IUCN sometimes use junior synonyms, and also I don't think the reports are updated once published, unlike POWO. YorkshireExpat (talk) 17:55, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  well, it was in January when you moved it; a couple of months in Wikipedia is about my memory limit! I think, as I noted above, that PoWO uses "unplaced" when there's no legitimate accepted name available. Peter coxhead (talk) 18:29, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Tetrameles

message: I recommend that Tetrameles nudiflora be moved to Tetrameles.  This is an application of WP:NC (flora) and WP:TOL and I would just be WP:BOLD except that the redirect now at Tetrameles has page history and so an administrator must perform the move.  The only controversy that I can think of is over the underlying guideline, although my take was that the  recent discussion of that guideline was supportive, if not unanimous. Kingdon (talk) 13:28, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That discussion is now archived at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (flora)/Archive 1#Monotypic genera. Dec 2008 controversies over Naming conventions (flora) have been about other matters, not this. Although there has been no objection to this move in over a month, I guess I'll list it as a regular (rather than uncontroversial) move at WP:RM. Kingdon (talk) 15:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd support a move, unless there are significant extinct or fossil species. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There aren't any fossils that are currently mentioned in wikipedia.  But there are some related fossils, see for example . To really get to the bottom of this doesn't seem to be something I can do from here (lacking subscriptions to jstor and such). (From the hints available, e.g. Tetramelioxylon prenudiflora from  or the result of a google scholar search on "tetrameles fossil" or "Tetramelioxylon", I can't really tell whether the fossils are in Tetrameles or related genera like Tetramelioxylon). Kingdon (talk) 15:23, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I hereby withdraw or oppose or whatever the right process is, the move request.  The safer thing seems to be to keep the article at the species, because it is (somewhat) easier to write a genus article (with fossil info) than to split a genus article into a species article and fossil info.

Talk:Israel Charny

message: The statement that the subject is "using his background in clinical psychology to manipulate the masses", apart from being entirely unsourced, seems apriori to violate NPOV WP standards. Firstly who are "the masses", in an encyclopedic and analytical sense? Secondly how on earth does any individual manipulate the masses armed only with a psychology degree? I mean normally some kind of privileged access to mass media or other means of mass communication would be involved, at the very least. All in all, the accusation appears demagogic and ascribes almost supernatural powers to the target individual in a manner that is consistent with antisemitic tropes of "master manipulators". Helvetius (talk) 11:11, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

text: If you want a good chess program, I would suggest buying a version of Chessmaster over Wii Chess, unless you really need a console version to play on your TV for some reason. It's a hell of a lot more comprehensive and has a lot more features than Wii Chess. The most recent PC version (Chessmaster: Grandmaster Edition) is being sold on Amazon for $15, and older editions (which are pretty much just as good) are even cheaper (Chessmaster 10th Edition is under $10). Or if you've got a DS or PSP, even that version (Chessmaster: The Art of Learning) would be a better value. (DT29 (talk) 01:32, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: There are generally several options for a usable picture: public domain (or free licensed picture), fair use, or a picture you take yourself.  I took a quick look at some of the places we normally find public domain or free licensed pictures and didn't see any - not surprising for a local political figure.  The ones online are copyrighted, and fair use isn't usually appropriate for a living person.  So, the probable options are (1) contact him (or his office) - or someone you know that has a picture of him - to see if they will release a picture to the public domain (or under one of the Wikipedia friendly licenses); or (2) take the picture yourself.  Yes, the Wikipedia images policy is a bit complex.  Let me know if you need a better explanation.--Kubigula (talk) 03:52, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is titled according to the traditional official name of this synagogue in English:
Grand Choral Synagogue of St. Petersburg
This is arguably the most accurate English translation of the original name Большая Хоральная Синагога in Russian.
However, all other name variants do exist in a large variety of sources. The recent donation by the Safra family of 5M for the reconstruction, came under their condition to add their name to the official name of the synagogue.  Steveshelokhonov 02:44, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Grand Choral Synagogue of St. Petersburg - name variants

message: By 1870 there were more than ten smaller Jewish Chapels in St. Petersburg, however, there was no Grand Synagogue to serve the entire Jewish community in the Russian capital. The permit for construction of the Grand Synagogue was granted under the condition that the new large synagogue shall be big enough to hold 2 thousand, in order to replace smaller Jewish Chapels, so that the smaller chapels would be closed. This was done upon the insistence from the Imperial Security which was known for their anti-Semitism. Currently there are several synagogues in St. Petersburg, Russia.Steveshelokhonov 02:44, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
