Talk:Carleton College

message: This page says the campus is 1040 acres, of which 880 is the arboretum (which would mean that the main campus is 160 acres, not 200); while the Arboretum page says the arb has 800 acres.

message: :The college graduated its first college class in 1874, James J. Dow and Myra A. Brown, who married each other later that year.
The class was two people? That's a mighty small class... Or is it a typo? – AndyFielding (talk) 14:57, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The sourcing is reasonable and this doesn't give me any concerns. Many institutions founded before the 20th century began as very small institutions. It's also important to remember that prior to the 20th century graduating with a degree was not the goal for all students; for some (sometimes many) students, simply enrolling for a few semesters or years was sufficient to meet their purposes. Others simply ran out of money or had to return to the families to support them. ElKevbo (talk) 23:31, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Welcome Home ('Til Tuesday album)

message: This needs to be the disambiguation page.  This album is not overwhelmingly more well known than the other possible uses for Welcome Home.  I believe the "overwhelmingly" to be indisputable, and I would go so far as to argue that Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria (featured on the video game Rock Band (video game) is probably more well known, as is "Weclome Home (Sanitarium)" by Metallica.  I will come back later to see if there are valid arguments against this, after which I plan to name change this to something along the lines of "Welcome Home (Album)" and make Welcome Home the disambig.

message: Please kindly do not edit the lead section to say this is his final album without a citation. I have been reverting edits that say that since like 2018; I don't even remember at this point. I don't know what he said at the time of the album's release, or has since then, but he is alive at the time of writing this statement and he can produce another album if he desires. As far as the public knows he is healthy and has not retired. Unless he or someone close to him or representing him confirms that he will never record again, do not change that part of the lead section, and even then, one must cite it. I have been watching this get inserted uncited literally for years now. Please don't change it without a reliable source. Thank you. The brave celery (talk) 00:08, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:USS Diablo (SS-479)

message: Interestingly, Fishbase seems not to have a "diablo" that is a batfish, the closest is the shortnose batfish Ogcocephalus nasutus which is called Pez diablo ñato in Cuba. I wonder what kind of fish the namers were thinking of. (FishBase is comprehensive but not complete, so old usage of common name may just be missing.) Stan 04:04, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: "Pomodon" seems not to be either a common or a genus name, and OED doesn't have it either, nor several possible alternate spellings I tried. Is it possible that the name is an inside joke, like a play on somebody's name? The vague "species of fish" is unlike the other entries, which usually mention a family or some other distinguishing characteristic. Stan 06:17, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Catahoula Leopard Dog

message: ===Discussion===
As I stated on Talk:Catahoula bulldog, this dog type is a mixed breed with no reliable way to verify parentage or ancestry.  Without the ability to verify parentage, there is no way to know an animal's genetic predisposition, temperament, or inheritable physical characteristics.  The only significant breed that is noticeable in this cross is the Catahoula Leopard dog which is dependent on coloring and the occasional bulldog characteristics that may or may not show. Sight id is undependable as proven by DNA tests and the widespread misidentifying of dogs that have led to wrongful euthanizing. In this particular crossbreed, the percentage of American Bulldog remains undetermined short of DNA testing; therefore, this particular cross fails notability as a standalone article. It is yet to be determined with regards to how much we should actually merge into this article, if anything.

Talk:National Day of the Republic of China

message: This article does not cite its sources. Especially needed is a source for this statement: "However, since the election of Chen Shui-bian as President of the ROC, a growing number of disgruntled Overseas Chinese people have increasingly identified themselves more with the People's Republic of China (PRC) and less with the ROC, somewhat lowering the profile of Double Tenth Day in these communities."

message: In most grammar situations, it makes more sense to use a hyphen when adding numbers to a descriptive adjective, e.g. a six-year anniversary.

I also find it quite suspicious that the magazine Science and Football is cited; it does not seem to be a very good authority on Chinese history. I'll try to find some better sources, but until then, this article reeks of inaccuracy. --ZhangYuu (talk) 02:51, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

message: On page 343 in Richard Hinckley Allen's book STAR NAMES - their lore and meaning, there is something which seems to be a mystery.

By the way, on page 346 of R.H.Allen's STAR NAMES, Boguslawski thought the star Alpha Piscis Austrini (Fomalhaut) could be the central sun of the universe. I guess many astronomers had their own special star as so-called central sun of the universe. DannyCaes (talk) 12:10, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Saishū Onoe

message: For an October 2004 deletion debate over this page see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Saishu Onoe
----
Why is Saishu Onoe in the Wikipedia? My recommendation is that it should probably be deleted.
When I did a Google search, I found only a very small number of pages that were not Wikipedia mirrors, and those were Japanese pages that only had birth and death dates for Saishu Onoe and not much more. It looks like he is probably a rather insignificant tanka poet. I would say that as a rough rule of thumb, if a 20th century tanka poet isn't in Makoto Ueda's Modern Japanese Tanka, Columbia Univ. Press , then they probably shouldn't be in the Wikipedia. Currently only three of the poets in Ueda's book are in the Wikipedia, Masaoka Shiki, Yosano Akiko, and Tawara Machi. There are probably three or four more from Ueda's list that might be added. Yosano Tekkan should probably be one -- not so much for his own poetry, but for his work as an editor, and for starting the rehabilitation nad rediscovery of tanka/waka poetry. gK 17:23, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

* Currently the main article is at Saishu Onoe and the redirect is at Onoe Saishu. Unfortunately this is backwards since the normal name order for Japanese names is surname, clan name, or family name first, and then the given name or penname, so his name is Onoe Saishu. This is a fairly obscure early 20th century Japanese tanka poet, so we don't have to worry about how he is known in the Western world (where modern authors and politicians, for example, are usually referred to using the Western order of naming). gK 06:44, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Instead of there being 20,000 schools just like it, there are probably 200 just like it, if it still existed.  Since it was 1:200 or thereabouts in the US, and since it folded, it is not notable.
