Talk:List of law enforcement agencies in Pennsylvania

message: In reference to this reversion: per WP:PRECISION, "Usually, titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that."  There is not currently an article for Scottdale Borough Police Department and it's highly unlikely that there's another organization in the world which would ever be called that.  Thus, if there's going to be a red link (an issue which has yet to be resolved), it should point to Scottdale Borough Police Department and not Scottdale Borough Police Department (Pennsylvania). Scottdale Borough Police Department (Pennslyvania) is right out. Nick Number (talk) 16:48, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

message: I removed an unsourced statement about catalog ownership and could find no legitimate news reporting or any mention beyond social media or Wikipedia retreads. I did find a 2004 press release from Warner Strategic Marketing that indicates the owner is Sally Grossman, so any changes in ownership needs to provide significant news reporting beyond briefs on AllHipHop or local coverage on Patch.com.

Talk:BBC Radio Collection

message: The external link to a free sample of these publications was removed. I'm told that it needs to be included into the editorial, if it's of importance. So I did just that. The linked audiobook is not a commercial offer, so I do feel that this is justified and adds value to the explanations. Audiobookworm 17:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The link is to free material, but that doesn't make it non-commercial - it's still acting as a taster advert for the site. Plus it requires registration to actually get at the audio, which breaks the Wikipedia guidelines on sites requiring registration in addition to those on advertising. Eve 18:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm sorry you feel that way, it wasn't my intention to 'play police'. On your talk page, I encouraged you to check my interpretation of the guidelines by asking for a Wikipedia:Third opinion - and since you might have a point about the link adding value I've actually asked for one myself to check. Please don't let a minor quibble over links put you off contributing other stuff though. Eve 11:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: External link

message: The link in question,
* an AudioBooks.com "Completely FREE Audio Books" sub page of
* the Pimsleur Foreign Language Courses Audio Books main page
violates Wikipedia:External links guidelines in two ways:
* Wikipedia:External links#Sites requiring registration
* Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided - particularly item 3: "Links mainly intended to promote a website."
The free audio books are part of the site's commercial promotion strategy to attract buyers.  The link does no harm in a talk page discussion, but it does not belong in an encyclopedia article.
There is also a user conflict of interest here, as illustrated by:

thread_title:  Question 

message: Hi, having a look at this page it is a mess. Here are my recommendations for improvements to the article:
*Expansion is needed on the operation, history and notability of the company. At present this is next to non-existent. The BBC Films website along with the BFI may give some directions.
*The productions should in my opinion be separated off into a separate list article, maybe 'List of BBC Films productions' or similar, with a paragraph instead summarising notable successes or award winning films throughout the companies history. However a list is too daunting and difficult to absorb effectively.
*Expand the see also and external links sections if helpful
*Add some references
Hope that this may help. Rafmarham (talk) 22:27, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Bayanat

message: In editing the article for  Yahsat to note that they are planning to merge in 2024 with a UAE-based company called “Bayanat”, I noticed that this article refers to a different Bayanat company based in Saudia Arabia. In a quick Google search, I see that there are other companies operating under the same “Bayanat” name in other countries, too.
The question to me is whether THIS Saudi company passes the notability test to be the one discussed in this article. Particularly when the URL provided no longer works.

Talk:Basic Books

message: This is my view, that publisher articles should list notable books, not notable authors, unless the author is truly represented entirely by that publisher, or historically linked to them. most authors go from publisher to publisher, and in any case, a list of books is never really that long, if they are links to articles. I do not support the complete listing of titles here, obviously. i added one, for now, but should add more. the shortness of the list should not mean its removal. its a trivial act to find more basic titles with articles to add to the list.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:12, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  LGBT activism 

message: and other IPs in 85.48.184.0/23 have been adding the sentence "Barilla deceives customers into thinking the pasta is made in Italy" based on an ongoing lawsuit. There are several problems with this: first it is not phrased neutrally; we cannot assert that the company "deceives" customers based on this; second, there is no source that says the company deceives customers, this is just what the plaintiffs in an ongoing lawsuit asserts, and third, even if the suit were upheld, this is WP:UNDUE for the lead and should be moved to the body. But for now, I think it should be removed. CodeTalker (talk) 19:39, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Barbeques Galore

message: What a bizarre article I should find when coming here looking to research the company that I knew to be Australian.
Actually I was unaware of the history this brand had in the US, notably the de-listing from ASX and listing on NASDAQ, which I guess is a credible reason to say this is a "US" company. However, since then it seems that original American venture has kind of failed and what it is now seems not well-known in America, and nor is it strictly even an American business, given there was a "leveraged buy-out by Australian venture capital firm, Ironbridge Capital", which in my books means this went back to being an Australian business.
On THIS side of the Pacific, however, this is a very well known brand and according to the link here they've got 42 stores in Aus (I count 91 on the retail site) vs 23 in the States. I'd have to guess the majority of people coming to this article would be looking for the Australian chain. I think it needs rewriting.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tilgrieog (talk • contribs) 13:41, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Bakka-Phoenix

message: The store retained its strong emphasis on used books until its move to Yonge Street, long after Jack Brooks left. In fact, in the years after Jack, the store's credit with book publishers was so bad that we often relied exclusively on used books to pay the rent, because we could get so few new books in. Bakka's regulars were very helpful during this period, bringing in their used books as trade-ins for credit, so that we could sell them for cash.
When Bakka moved up to Yonge and Wellesley, the reduced floorspace meant that most of the used stock had to go, and thereafter its prominence at Bakka dwindled. But the reduction in used emphasis was not due to Jack's departure.
Doctorow (talk) 15:25, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Emphasis on new books

message: Bakka originally was a double-sized store, with books in the right-hand side as you came in, and comics in the left-hand side of the store.  Briefly, it expanded to a second location on the west side of Yonge Street north of Bloor.  I shopped there regularly in the summer of 1978.  There were fewer comics, just a rack or so; but the store had a large selection of mystery/detective stories in the rear half of the store as well as SF/fantasy in the front.
I always reckoned they'd over-extended, because suddenly the second location closed and the first one halved itself to just the SF/fantasy side of the store.  From what it says in this article, though, that may have been when the Silver Snail started.  Greer Watson (talk) 09:34, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
