thread_title: Best Supporting Actor?

message: Under the Personal Life/Death section of the Lou Jacobi article, it states that Lou Jacobi was the inspiration for the Futurama character Dr. John Zoidberg. However Billy West himself has stated on an NPR appearance that the voice was actually inspired by both Jacobi and also Toastmaster General George Jesse. It's listed as reference #1 on the Zoidberg article. I'm putting this info here, until I can be certain how to edit and add the reference to the main Lou Jacobi article without messing it up.

Talk:Multilinear form

message: Multilinear forms are defined on products of vector spaces, while homogeneous polynomials are in general defined on products of fields. Also multilinear forms are linear in each of its arguments, while homogeneous polynomials not necessarily. As such, they are two different animals. Oleg Alexandrov 01:28, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Kleercut

message: This article seems to be written from an anti-Kimberly-Clark point of view.  Although the evidence may be accurate, the diction of the author speaks from an environmental viewpoint.  The following phrases are not particularily neutral:
*"The Kleercut campaign is an international corporate campaign to pressure Kimberly-Clark to clean up its act."
*"The story and the networks behind this campaign are a great example of the alignment of the progressive technology and free software community and the environmental and grassroots communities."  (Again, this phrase promotes environmental views.)
*"...destroys ancient forests around the world."  (Not only is this non-NPOV, it is also not specific.)
Not only is it not neutral, this article only depicts the environmentalist point of view.  Further discussion is welcome. Eduard Gherkin 01:59, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Seems Non-NPOV

message: According to the article the Kleercut campaign demands that the companies in question; "Turn to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) eco-certified forestry operations for what virgin wood fibers it does use."

Talk:WSIL-TV

message: A lot of areas in the northern part of WSIL viewing area cannot get this station with Charter cable TV.  This consists of almost all of Washington County (except Ashley and Radom), and parts of Marion, Jefferson, and Clinton counties.  This station was provided by an previous cable provider but in the mid 1990s Charter bought them out and took away WSIL from the cable lineup.  The residents are forced to use high quality television attena towers with the direction pointing towards Marion just to be able to watch this television station, which is difficult to do because they require building permits and can only be a certain height.  Even so, the quality is very grainy.  Charter replaced WSIL with KDNL, which nobody in the area will watch KDNL because the quality of that station is horrible.  Kimmy78 17:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:WYCC

message: I commented out the end date that you added, because the situation is in flux and nothing is yet firm. I think it odd to put an end date before it happens at any rate, as this is an encyclopedia not the daily newspaper or a letter from the head of the television station. I am pleased that other editors like ,  and  have the latest sources on what is under discussion, and that is fine to be quoted in the article with the references, in my view. I hope you can wait to put an end date in the infobox until after that end date passes, and we all know the new status of WYCC, after these discussions with WTTW bear fruit.  --Prairieplant (talk) 04:16, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hold on the end date in the infobox until arrangement with WTTW is known and in effect 

message: There have been several changes of the date in February 1983 when WYCC opened as a PBS station in the info box. The latest change can be seen here. It is the latest in a string of such changes that began with this one here, and the change is made by an IP address. In the text of the article, in the sixth paragraph of the History section,  it says "In 1982, Oscar Shabat, founding Chancellor of the City Colleges of Chicago, asked the consortium to release the dormant license; on February 2, 1983, channel 20 was reborn as WYCC (standing for "We are Your City Colleges"). In its modern history, the station featured a variety of programming on three digital subchannels, including those provided by PBS, those produced locally, and international news and educational programs."
:I take this to mean that February 2, 1983 is the relevant and correct date for the info box. Is there a way to stop the continuing changes by these IP addresses? I have reverted it a few times, as has another editor. I put a message to stop on one IP address talk page. The next change to February 17 was done by an IP address with a slightly different address (still a long string starting with 2601:240:e400}. These changes of the date in the info box are the only posts by these IP addresses. Can they be blocked, or the article be locked for a week or two? --Prairieplant (talk) 23:17, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that German Kurrent script was standardized in 1714.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_script 
In 1714, a decree in Prussia for the first time introduced a standard script, which is said to go back to the Berlin teacher Hilmar Curas (Joachimsthalsches Gymnasium).[1] Its pointed, right-leaning forms, which largely avoided curves, also became naturalized in other German territories and became characteristic of German Kurrent scripts.
