Talk:1998 in British music/to do

message: * Introduction needs to discuss the trend in music better a paragraph summing up the trends and genres during 1998 would be good to start, then a paragraph discussing the basic success of mainstream acts with a mention of some popular albums
* Include Success of Lighthouse Family during the year
* Include More detail on music from Titanic, especially the success of the album - sales and more importantly impact
* Include any other successful film songs/soundtracks, if possible, omit "The Success Of Titanic" part of the section title

* Include more detail, if possible, on the success of Melanie B and Melanie C, put Solo Spices as a separate section
* Include More detail on people in the American Acts section (add more if possible) so we can split into American Acts who were more successful in the US and American Acts who were more successful in the UK; US chart positions on these acts would be very helpful if someone could provide them so success can be weighed, sales figures would be EXTREMELY helpeful

* Include More detail on the success of Billie Piper

* Include success of Usher and emphasise his "disappearance" from 1998 - 2004 to a certain extent
* More detail on success of Cleopatra

Talk:1999 in British music/to do

message: * Expand on the introduction with the first paragraph describing the trends after summarising the significance of 1999 in music and the second paragraph going into slightly more detail on the success of artists, singles and albums during the year
* Include More detail on Girl Groups & Boy Bands - much more is required on Girl Groups, on Boy Bands, expand Westlife section (only first three singles as fourth is discussed in Christmas Number one) and expand Backstreet Boys, who were globally the most successful boyband during 1999
* Include More detail on Martine McCutcheon & even more so on Jennifer Lopez, with more on her past in acting

* Include More detail on the Spice Girls - what Victoria did during the year - if not in the music industry, why wasn't she?
* Re-name Country Pop to something else, unless the success of other artists such as LeAnn Rimes can be put in there; it seems silly to have a section dedicated JUST on Shania Twain despite the collosal success of Come On Over
* IncludeMore detail on the British acts in the Brit Awards section
* Include More detail on acts in Pop Divas section as the secton is very Britney vs Christina focused
* Include More detail on S Club 7 and Lolly in the Pop Acts section
* Include More detail on the albums by Blur, Catatonia, Suede, Texas, Jamiroquai, The Chemical Brothers, Travis & Letfield

Talk:Software brittleness

message: Not really sure about this treatment; as I understand it, software brittleness is more to do with API changes, and software's seemingly inherent lack of flexibility in overcoming even small API changes at any level; what this article is describing is different, but related, and should perhaps be more directed at software lifecycle. -- The Anome 10:53, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)
:I doubt the term is truly standardized, but the article as I wrote it fairly describes the usage in several large software shops that I've worked in. But if you feel that there are alternate meanings, it would be great if you would add them.

message: Surely there should be some comments with regard to the examples of fundamental unix utilities that seem to defy this concept. tr, cat, echo, bash, tar, bzip etc. These programs have existed for a lot longer than the five year limit that this article states. I would say this comment more applies to proprietary GUI software, which constantly have API upgrades for "look and feel".

message: Confusingly, the two pics illustrating and comparing the Berliner format show The Guardian as an example of both a broadsheet and Berliner newspaper. This isn't actually incorrect (the paper was redesigned and changed format a few years ago) but is without explanation and will be puzzling to anyone unfamiliar with UK newspapers.

Talk:Augustin Bizimana

message: Hi, In the movie, Hotel Rwanda, Augustin is potrayed as a corrupt and rather brutal person who did nothing to stop the atrocities/genocide but does not appear to suggest that he had any direct involvement in committing or ordering others to commit these crimes. In fact, he is shown to save the characters at various times thanks to the efforts of Paul, who mentioned that he is being potrayed as a war criminal in the west. Some merit of this potrayal needs to be made here or in the Hotel Rwanda article IMHO. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.234.141.76 (talk • contribs) .
: Erm, according to the IMDB entry for Hotel Rwanda, General Bizimana was not portrayed in Hotel Rwanda.  I believe the person concerned was Augustin Bizimungu.
: That said, though I don't have the clearest memory of Hotel Rwanda, I don't recall the portrayal of the general as being quite so "sympathetic" (if being merely corrupt, brutal, and only passively genocidal can be said to be sympathetic).
: If this quasi-sympathetic portrayal did happen -- and I imagine one could find out conclusively from the book -- then I agree that this should be mentioned in the article. --Saforrest 23:08, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't remember where I read it before but it said something along the line that he wasn't actually allowing his children to be raised Catholic for the sake of his new country but that per the common practice of royal marriages between spouses of different religion, any daughters would follow their mother's religion while any sons their father's.

Talk:Greater Ankara

message: == Name ==
Is this an official or even a proper name? I live in Ankara and I have never heard of anyone using this clause to refer to the municipality. The surrounding area as in a greater administrative unit is simply called Ankara. I believe the fact that "municipality" translates to "belediye" in Turkish causes this problem. There are many municipalities in the "greater" Ankara that administer districts or counties (ilçe) like the Municipality of Haymana, Kalecik or Bala. There is also a Metropolitan Municipality of Ankara (Ankara Büyükşehir Belediyesi) which administers all of these smaller municipalities. The area I believe you are referring to is administered by the Governorship of Ankara (Ankara Valiliği). I could not find the "Greater Ankara" usage in any official sites either. Could you please clarify why you have used this term? I recommend "Province of Ankara" or "Ankara (province)" Faravignon 14:49, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Cricket (portal)

message: I moved this from the main page because it's not pertinent to the deletion vote.
To those people who have seen a previous version moved to cricket: there was nearly universal disapproval of this, and I think it's fair to say it won't ever happen again. This issue is separate: do portals like these deserve a place in the main namespace at all, similarly to the way disambiguation pages do? Check the talk page for the discussion on the trials and tribulations of this initiative. Personally, what I'm opposed to is including self-references like "this is a WikiPortal" and "join the WikiProject" and all other things that are not helping readers. But when those objections are out of the way, on what grounds do we rule that portals shouldn't be there? Simply stating that WikiPortals belong in the Wikipedia namespace tells only half the story, because this is not your average portal. An attempt is being made at producing an alternate presentation mechanism to a field that's useful to readers and takes advantage of Wikipedia's medium. It can be argued that this attempt should take place on a separate page for the meantime, which is fine; we may also decide mechanisms like these are not appropriate for presentation to readers; or we may decide that they are, but shouldn't be in the main namespace even if tailored to readers rather than contributors. I must say I do not really feel one way or the other, and the present location is only annoying those who consider it namespace pollution, not because readers are in danger of being misleaded. JRM · Talk 00:45, 2005 Apr 30 (UTC)
:As JRM says - this is nothing to do with VfD. Since the portal is a new type of page we can develop whatever rules we want for it. (Of course, the no self-references "rule" isn't a rule anyway as it's only semi-policy.) For a page such as this, a discreet reference to the cricket WikiProject seems entirely appropriate, jguk 15:49, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
