thread_title: 1

message: For some time now I have concerned myself with the Lists of deaths. Via a semi-automated process I am checking the Deaths-by-Month articles for consistency and errors. I started in December 2005 and intend to work my way back to 1996.
Before 2004 the deaths lists are not organized by month but per year. Currently the Deaths in 2003 article has become so long that it should be split be up into lists per month. I would like to perform that task. I have these questions:
* Should I just go ahead and do it or do I need approval/establish consensus from WikiProject Death first?
* I identified following areas the will need updating after the split into month articles:
1. Article Lists of deaths by year, subsection 2003
=== 2003 ===

Should be updated to:
=== 2003 ===

2. Article Deaths in 2003 itself
The article will have to be redirected to Lists of deaths by year#2003
3. Existing redirects to Deaths in 2003
I found 26 redirect pages to the article I intend to split up. F.i.:
- August 2003 deaths
- 2003_in_memoriam
Twelve of them will be used as the new Deaths-by-Month articles. This leaves 14 redirect pages to be updated
Am I missing something?
NB: Proposal is also done here

Talk:Dolores Gray

message: I've done some further research into the birth name of the article subject. I find that indeed there is a reference to her as being born "Finkelstein." However, this same California Birth Index listing shows her birth date as June 7. 1923, not 1924. The Social Security application does not show Finkelstein and shows a former name of Vernon and a birth year of 1923. The SSDI is for Dolores Gray and shows a birth year of 1924. Ditto her tombstone on Findagrave. How can we go with Finkelstein and not also change the birth year? I don't think we can. On balance I am going to just leave it without the original research, birthyear 1924 and no different birth name. I just don't see how we can overrule the reliable secondary sources, none of which reflect either a 1923 birth year or Finkelstein as the birth name. Coretheapple (talk) 20:17, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: There seems to be some confusion about where Done Estelle was born. A google search reveals a couple of sources that say he was born in Rochdale but This one Says he was born in Crumpsall and This one says he was born in Manchester but says he was buried in his "home town" of Rochdale, which may be what has caused the confusion. A friend of mine knew Don as a child and says he grew up on Russel Street, Crumpsall and he was pretty sure he was born there. He was evacuated to Darwen in the second world war and later moved back to Crumpsall where he sang at St. Mary's Church. If there is no evidence for the Rochdale connection the category needs to be changed and the article reworded. Richerman 23:38, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mount Kusatsu-Shirane

message: While it is true that there was an eruption in January 2018, what is not known is the precise casualty figures. The latest figures put the casualty list as one dead and from 12 to 16 injured (two seriously). The JMA have also elevated the volcanic warning level to 3 saying that they do not rule out further activity. Personally, I think it wise to wait before putting definite casualty figures in an article at such an early stage; it is better to wait a while, or perhaps to say that early casualty figures  are in the low tens. To put in a definite figure early on means that it will have to be changed as the figures go from 10 injured to 1 killed and 12 injured to 1 killed and 16 injured. If there are no further eruptions at this time, then a definite figure is more possible.Everlong Day (talk) 09:49, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I removed the change Canadian -> English-Canadian and the addition "Jack later died of a stroke" because:
1) "English-Canadian novelist" is ambiguous in this case. It is unclear whether it means English-speaking (which is probably self evident from his list of publications) or of dual UK/Canadian citizenship, which is probably inaccurate, since Jack became a Canadian citizen quite early in his writing career.
2) "Jack later died of a stroke" is inaccurate where placed in this page, because the re-publication of his books, mentioned previously, happened after his death. It is not clear what "later" is referring to.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.104.50 (talk) 00:53, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Also note the Wired story, "How Wikipedia portrayed humanity in a single photo" Kolya Butternut (talk) 00:55, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  See [[Talk:Human]] FAQ for image guidance 

message: In principle, I'd be happy to see the lead image for Woman change on a regular schedule.  I kind of feel sorry for whomever gets stuck being the face of womanhood, and no single image does full justice to the women of the world.
That said, I wonder if we should first settle some general principles instead of just voting on a set of pictures.  For example:
# Do we prefer to require that the lead image be a Featured Picture at Commons?  See c:Commons:Featured pictures/People/Portrait#Women for a gallery.  There's also c:Commons:Valued images by topic/People (deemed most useful for Wikipedia) and c:Commons:Quality images/Subject/People (deemed most technically perfect).
# Do we prefer a color image, or would a black-and-white photo by okay?
# Do we prefer for the lead image to show one woman, or would it be better to find an image with two or three women?
# Do we prefer for the lead image show a public figure (e.g., a politician, musician, celebrity) or a more anonymous "everywoman"?
# Do we prefer a head shot or a full-length image?
# Do we prefer a particular age (e.g., young, middle aged, older)?
# Do we prefer a portrait or a photo showing a woman doing something?
# Do we prefer everyday clothing or is something more specialized okay (e.g., an athletic uniform, a costume, a swimsuit, a ballgown)?
# Do we prefer a modern image (e.g., taken in the last few decades) or is a historical image okay (e.g., from 100 years ago)?
# Roughly 60% of the world lives in Asia, 20% in Africa, 10% in Europe, and in the 10% North and South America.  Since more than half the women in the world live in some part of Asia, should we prefer an image of an Asian woman?
Some of these questions are about the content, and others are about the form.  I think that if we said "Bring us your examples of color head shots that have been recognized as FP, VI, or QI on Commons, preferably showing one middle-aged woman of Asian or African descent in her everyday clothes", we'd have better discussions than if we said "Sure, whatever – anything goes".

message: The previous version of this page was, essentially, M. Susan Lindee's article published in New Genetics word-for-word. I rewrote the page and added citations. I tried to keep the same format and honor spirit of the original page, but edited content to match the secondary sources I found. Any content left off the page was inadvertent or I could not find reliable secondary sources. The page could be improved by adding images. Also, I couldn't find a secondary source that described Nelkin's testimony at the McLean v. Arkansas trial specifically - only that she testified at an Arkansas trial. I included the items previously in the "external links" section in the references list, so didn't think it was necessary to keep that section. The exception was a link to an external website purportedly discussing the Arkansas trial, but the link failed when I tried it.

Talk:Drahoslav Lím

message: I hadn't realized that Dr. Lim had passed away. I had the honor of working for him at the Revlon Materials Research Center in San Diego, from October 1985 to March 1988. He was a good boss and a great scientist; it is a pity that he didn't get more recognition for the work he did on the hydrogel lens. That never seemed to bother him -- then again, it was not a topic of conversation. He lacked the drive for publicity that his co-inventor had; not an uncommon event.
Coincidentally, I had previously worked with a former co-worker of his from Czechoslovakia when I was at Dow; she was the one who told me of his troubles in Czechoslovakia. She (Dr. Jitka Solc) told me how Dr. Lim had gone back to their home country against the advice of his many friends and colleagues, convinced that the authorities would not take any action against him. As noted in the article, here he was wrong. It took some concerted effort to gain the right for him to again exit the country. Hughesdavidw (talk) 13:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: For the article as it stands at 11:11, 13 August 2007, additional sources are needed to support the following statements:
* A passionate music fan (and, during his youth, a drummer), he soon began making his reputation with eccentric interviews of top musicians which came as close to gonzo journalism as New Zealand had known. * he was as highly regarded by musicians as by the public and was able to gain access to frank interviews with normally reticent stars. 
* "are regarded as the best the reggae musician ever gave."
* Taite is also reputed to have been behind some of the publicity stunts connected with Malcolm McLaren's time as manager of The Sex Pistols. 
* One of the ideas Taite is said to have given to Malcolm McClaren was that the Sex Pistols should sign their contract to EMI outside Buckingham Palace.
There is also discrepancy regarding the date of Taite's death. Implication of two of the sources, Dylan Taite R.I.P. and 
NZ culture richer for Dylan Taite’s contribution is that Taite died in January 22. Broadcaster Dylan Taite dies says he died on the 25th. Since the previous two sources were published prior to the 25th, I have defaulted to majority. --Moonriddengirl 15:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
