Talk:Giles Ramsay

message: The article was a pretty direct copy & paste from the subject's website, though given these edits were introduced by users Giles1517 and Gtr1965 I suspect autobiography rather than copyright violation. I've copyedited the article and cut the information down to what I can verify from independent sources. 
The list of plays written by the subject is taken from his website, which presents a small verifiability problem as none of them appear to have been published and I can only independently verify his authorship of one of them, Territory (which was shown at the Edinburgh Fringe and reviewed by The Stage). I decided to leave the list in, but a better source than his own site would be useful. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\talk 13:20, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Choke (film)]] 

message: So far, although her name has been mentioned, it appears that the director only "hopes" or "wants" her to star (sec. the AV Club, IGN, and others).  I have seen no response from her, no official confirmation, not even any official talks.  Too early to put in the filmography, so I removed it.

Talk:Xalisco

message: "black-tar heroin, a potent, inexpensive, semi-processed form of the drug that has spread across the United States, driven by the entrepreneurial energy and marketing savvy of immigrants from a tiny farming county in Mexico.  Immigrants from Xalisco, in the Pacific coast state of Nayarit, Mexico, have brought the heroin north over the last decade, and with it a highly effective business model featuring deep discounts and convenient delivery by car. Their success is a major reason why Mexican black tar has seized a growing share of the U.S. heroin market, according to government estimates."

Talk:Glenn Babb

message: 1.  Media Imperialism
This article really caught my eye because it is a keen illustration of the kind of misinformation that is routinely spawned in countries often accused of being 'imperialists'; in this case we would be dealing with 'media' imperialism.
Surely it is not a good idea to have the members of one country write the histories of another?  Or members of a dominanant ideology presenting only their version of events?
2.  Source Material
Also, because I'm a new user, I'm very surprised that Wikipedia allows newspaper articles to be considered as 'sources'.  That is laughable, and a first year course in Research101 will educate members as to the dangers of using the media as a source.  The media is only a source of media myths that are current, and myths that are part of a culture's tradition.
At the very least, an opinion piece that is used as a 'source', should be clearly marked as a source.
3.  Discrimination and Stereotyping
Is there a reason why the subject of the article is included in a category called 'White South Africans'?  Is there a similar category for 'Black South Africans"?  Perhaps we should also add a category 'German Jews' or perhaps one called 'Targets of possible genocide despite their original liberal views'?
The writers of this article need to read Amnesty Internationals information on the typical '8 Steps to Genocide' which might better inform their selection of information, which - at the moment - is extremely prejudicial.
The Glenn Babb in the article does not exist in reality except in the (possibly media-fed) imagination of the writers of the articles.  The Glenn Babb that exists in reality was a tireless advocate of human rights, of finding the Best Way Forward and of using the existing system to effect peaceful change.  You would never guess that looking at the 'facts' presented in the article, though.  The article literally presents him as 'just another white South African'.
4. Main article: Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons
I'm going to ask the writers to consider whether the following Wiki rules could be applied to their work:
When adding material to the biography of a living person
Main article: Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons
Biographies of living persons should be sourced with particular care, for legal and ethical reasons. All contentious material about living persons must cite a reliable source. If you find unsourced or ***poorly sourced*** contentious material**** about a living person—whether in an article or on a talk page—remove it immediately! Do not leave it in the article while you request a source. Do not move it to the talk page. This applies whether the material is in a biography or any other article.Tyrwhitt (talk) 06:15, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Glenn Ross Campbell

message: Dear Editors,
Based on the below guidelines:
Non-controversial edits
Editors who may have a conflict of interest are allowed to make certain kinds of non-controversial edits, such as:
   1. Removing spam and reverting vandalism.
   2. Deleting content that violates Wikipedia's biography of living persons policy.
   3. Fixing spelling and grammar errors.
   4. Reverting or removing their own COI edits. Cleaning up your own mess is allowed and encouraged.
   5. Making edits that have been agreed to on the talk page.
   6. Adding citations, especially when another editor has requested them.
Accordingly, as everyone is busy, and based on rules number 4 above, I went ahead and removed all the COI and left bare bones. I did not delete any references numbers. I'm not sure which to delete, because they all support the same thing, Glenn Ross Campbell. But the text is bare bones. Based on the above bold line I hope this is OK to remove the COI flag from this article. Thanks--Rickbrown9 (talk) 18:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Metroxylon sagu

message: I would like to add considerably to this article, having grown up in sago producing areas of Papua New Guinea, but I lack the technical terminology. The photo is pitiful on portraying the palm tree - it looks like a few plants just beginning to grow! How about a photo of a fullgrown sago palm of this species? The article makes no mention of the fact that sago trunks (or stems?), and the branches/fronds underside being covered with long extrememly sharp spines, which are very brittle. If they pierce the skin, they break off readily, and appear to have some kind of irritant or toxin. It is one of the hazards of "sago making". As for its food use, the mention of Sepik sago cakes is minimalist. It is the staple food in the entire Gulf Province and Western Province of Papua, growing along the Oriomo, Fly, Bamu, Aramia, Turama, Paibuna, Omati, Kikori, Era, Paia, Purari and Vailala rivers, and probably further east in the Kerema and Malalaua areas. The famous Hiri trade cycle of the Motuan people was founded on the sago trade from the Gulf of Papua to the Port Moresby region.
In these regions at least, it is normally cooked in a bamboo tube or in a sago leaflet roll (pinned with bits of sago "bark" (from the fronds)), and roasted/baked over hot coals. People often include fish, young crocodiles or other small game in the roll, cooked together. After cooking, depending on consistency and length of time, it can resemble a chalky stick, a rubbery stick or a combination of both. 
As to production, it seems a misnoner to say that "starch kernels" are washed out - what is washed out is starch sediment, which settles in a trough after being carried by water, which drains off. "Kernels" implies a seed or some such - which would be erroneous. More could be said on how it is made - a process I have observed and participated in numerous times.

Talk:Gordon Peters

message: So far the only places to say he's dead have been here, IMDb and now the British comedy guide (certainly not reliable enough to use as a source to confirm a death). Not one single reliable source can I find to corroborate his passing. This could all have started with someone putting it on Wikipedia and then it's all over the internet. If he has in fact passed then The Guardian and The Stage are the most likely publications to publish an obit for him at some point. Crisso (talk) 07:47, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi , can you please elaborate on why British Comedy Guide is not a reliable source? I don't see it blacklisted or on the list of deprecated sources. It isn't user generated, but rather compiled by a group of people who work in that industry. Additionally, Gordon Peters' death has been well documented on social media. There is no reason to doubt any of these reports, unless you have evidence to the contrary? Peters was a supporting actor with no stand out roles. A Guardian or Stage obituary is unlikely IMO. We shouldn't labour this. --Jkaharper (talk) 19:53, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: In all the years I've used WP I don't believe I've ever seen the BCG used as a source for biographical data, so that's why I am dubious about it. I'm not familiar with it at all to be honest but it looks as though it's probably on a par with the professionally edited BFI database, which I've used as a source in the past but is far from infallible (note their entry for Don Marion: ). I still think it's sketchy at best using this one source to confirm a death when there don't appear to be any other "reliable" sources. I wont change it but hope you understand why we should be extra careful when updating whether someone is alive or not. Maybe his website can be updated to show this? He got a few write ups in local papers in recent years so hopefully they'll mention his passing. As far as Peters getting a full national press obit, the fact that he did have his own (albeit short lived) TV series would go in his favour for this (certainly for The Stage).
