message: I added the information about the shooting that took part in Beach Haven because I thought it was a relevant part of Beach Haven's history but the part was removed and the explanation was "Removed unnecessary news item" I think a shooting happening here is a significant enough event that it deserves to be mentioned as part of Beach Haven's history. But what do you guys think? Is there consensus that its not significant enough to be mentioned? Thomas Norren (talk) 13:08, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Aquacycling

message: This article starts by saying that aquabiking is underwater spinning. (Meaning 1).
Then it continues by saying that aquabiking is a triathlon without the running (Meaning 2).
I tried to improve this article and looked for sources, and I found , which shows that aquabiking is a form of motorboating (Meaning 3).
I think three different meanings are too much, and this article should be split. But on the other hand, it would be split into three stubs. So I am not doing it now, and just put it here on the talk page for nobody to read. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 20:12, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Will be that difficulty ?  

message: As mentioned above, this article states that aquabiking is two different activities (meaning 1 and meaning 2). However, according to this article , aquabiking is a combination of paddleboarding and cycling. This is also called water biking. So, either this article needs to be updated or a new article be made on water biking. I am not changing anything right now, just putting this on the talk page so someone can decide.

Talk:Nude Men

message: There is nothing in the text that indicates anything about magical realism or absurdism, but there are a categories to that effect. Do the reviews comment about the genre of the novel? LadyofShalott 19:53, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I read the novel years and years ago, but I remember nothing that merits these categories.  These cats are in fact overused and misunderstood. Not everything absurd is "absurdist" - and not everything vaguely unreal is "magical realism." (The worst is "surrealism" - a word that gets tagged to anything slightly weird.) I say we drop it from these categories.  Thoughts? NaymanNoland (talk) 07:00, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genre categories? 

message: Reverting the Chicago Tribune review to the Kirkus on these grounds is absurd, and - frankly - sounds more than a bit like Qworty's infamous rant about the New York Times: "Kirkus is famous for understated reviews, and its interpretation is considered more weighty than the gas-inhaling hacks of the chicago tribune (who receive plenty of freebies from publishing companies anyway)." The reversion has been undone, but we really do want to be careful about going down that rabbit hole again.  The Chicago Tribune is, I assure you, not generally regarded as the refuge of stoned hacks: it's right behind the Times and the Washington Post in terms of prestige. Kirkus is weighty simply because it's meaningful to be reviewed there, not because the anonymous reviewers themselves are more reputable than the writers for the major papers - they're certainly not. Moreover, they're hardly known for understatement - Kirkus is famous for harsh reviews.  Finally: yes, ALL reviewers receive free books from publishers. All this to say: we have a solid, sourced review - let's not mess with it without good reason, or it's simply going to look as if Qworty's unleashed vengeful sock puppets. NaymanNoland (talk) 17:06, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Btw, if we do want a full sentence rather than a fragment - as suggested - the full sentence from the Trib (sourced) is this: "Reminiscent of some of Philip Roth's zanier explorations of identity and sexuality, "Nude Men" is consistently entertaining and provocative." I'm not sure this is a great idea, as the full sentence sounds a bit like puffery and promo. Nothing wrong with partial sentences, if they're clear, right? NaymanNoland (talk) 17:43, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Amelia Peabody series

message: The introductory text of the article has this to say:
The series spans a thirty-eight year period from 1884 to 1922
and also this:
the point at which it currently ends, in 1923
...does someone know which is correct? Stefan Kruithof (talk) 15:22, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Conflicting end-date for series

message: The headings "Preceded by" and "Followed by" in the info boxes for each novel are ambiguous. From 2004 (Guardian of the Horizon) onwards, Elizabeth Peters began writing novels fitting into chronological gaps between earlier published novels. This created a discrepancy between publication order and chronological order. I have amended the entries in the info boxes to reflect internal chronological order, since this is likely to be of more interest to the average reader wanting to follow the characters through their development. Publication order is probably of more limited interest, restricted to those wanting to study the novels as literary productions, rather than parts of a larger narrative.

File talk:PALOP.png

message: I was looking over this section, and the map caught my eye.  Unfortunately, there seems to be an error in it.  While the isalds of Sao Tome e Principe (in the Gulf of Guinea) are correctly circled and included among the Lusophone African nations, there is an area directly opposite them on the mainland also marked in red.  That area is the mainland portion of Equatorial Guinea, and it is a Spanish-speaking nation, not/not Portuguese.
Hope this will be of assistance.

Talk:It's for You

message: Interesting! Both songs are in ¾ time. Both start out in a minor key. Both mention ‘hearts’, both are written in the first person (‘I’ not ‘she’ or ‘he’ or ‘you’). Maybe Cilla was trying to defend McCartney against accusations of unoriginality or even plagiarism. The songs use similar ideas, but are certainly different. 
Bacharach’s is a little more dramatic and has a more memorable middle eight. Cilla’s nickname was ‘The Cavern Screamer’ and she loved to soar up to impassioned climaxes. 121.44.25.105 (talk) 21:03, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: A chicken egg has a membrane in contact with the shell that can be found after the contents of yolk and albumin are removed by perforation and suction of the contents. I've no idea if chickens are unique in this way and realize that wikipedia does not publish individual observations, so I call it to the attention of the editor or anyone else who does know what it is.
The membrane is quite resilient and resists removal, but bleach can destroy it and seems to at least partially dissolve it.
If it's the chorion, was it in contact with the shell before the removal described or did it somehow expand to make contact, since the picture and labeling makes it seem to be surrounding the other liquid contents, but with an air gap outside it.  
Either way, I hope the issue is addressed and clarified.

message: Re: Single & Single by JohnLe Carre:I think the following is wrong: "Oliver tracks Tiger's movements from Single's business office to his stepmother's country home." I don't recall anything  that indicates that she is not his real mother, not a stepmother.
Also, they don't find the forlorn Zoya in the family house in Georgia; it is in the seemingly abandoned house in Istanbul. Indeed, Aggie leaves a note for the Mirskys (in Istanbul) to give her some attention and get her to a doctor. Just before boarding a plane at the Istanbul airport, Aggie remembers to throw away the bolt and ammunition from Zoya's Kalishkanov rifle.

Talk:Richard Barlow (intelligence analyst)

message: The article currently states, "Within days of Barlow's sharing his concerns with colleagues at the Department of Defense he was fired." The citations attached to this statement are the Washington Post, Kentucky.com (using a Christian Science Monitor article) and The Economist.
The Washington Post blatently states, "Barlow was fired."
Kentucky.com states that Mr. Barlow "was run out of Washington." 
The Economist says, "He lost his job." 
:The New Yorker: "Two days later, Brubaker called Barlow into his office and, with no warning, handed him a letter of termination. He stood accused, as he did not know at the time, of being a national-security risk to the United States. He was stripped of all his classified clearances and given three weeks to clear out of his office. Barlow decided to fight the dismissal. He spent the next eighteen months assigned to a Defense Department personnel pool, under surveillance by Pentagon security officers." Relata refero (talk) 05:53, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I've thought hard about that point, but I'm afraid I don't think that's possible. If you can find a reliable source anywhere that says that Barlow is exaggerating his status in order to process his application quicker, that might be OK to put in, but I don't think we can come to these conclusions ourselves, especially when the RSes are universally against us.

message: As of 2021-11-27 the section on "Events following dismissal" said, "Barlow is a whistleblower because he lawfully disclosed, in a classified briefing to a committee of the US Congress, information that his management did not want shared with Congress."  
I think this should say he was NOT a whistleblower, because he did NOT expose classified information to the public.  The exposure came as a result of a lawsuit he filed for wrongful termination.  I've modified that text accordingly.  DavidMCEddy (talk) 01:59, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
