Talk:Mikhael Gromov (mathematician)

message: A few minutes ago I deleted him from the List of French Jews. Now I am hesitating. Here are questions: Is he French, is he Jew (or at least does he recognize himself a Jew)? Place of birth? Citizenship?  Mikkalai 18:26, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Gromov was born in Russia but became a French citizen in 1995. He is almost definitely ethnically Jewish (one reliable source is , but I can get more details if you like). I don't know how he identifies religiously. However the general consensus on List of Jews and similar pages is that ethnic identity is sufficient (though an individual with only one Jewish parent who does not identify as Jewish should be mentioned as such).

text: Since there are "passport" categories for people, this information must be clearly stated in the article, so that he be properly categorized: is he at :Category:French mathematicians, :Category:American mathematicians :Category:Jewish Russian people (probably to be renamed into :Category:Russian and Soviet Jews), whatever.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Counter-smack

message: I am against the deletion of Counter-Smack from Wilipedia -- 128.210.68.138's only edit.
:Well, great to hear your opinion!  Now, how do you feel about the deletion of the Counter-smack article from Wikipedia?
:But seriously, you've made two mistakes.  The first is that the actual voting page is Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Counter-smack, not Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Counter-smack.  The second is to think that you'll automatically get a vote just for showing up, and that is not true either.  The Votes for Deletion process is one that is best handled by experienced Wikipedians, ones who can argue why, in consideration of all Wikipedia's policies, the article should be kept, should be deleted, should be merged, or any of the other available options.  Your edit history says that you have never edited Wikipedia before casting this vote on the incorrect page, which, to be honest, can't get much further from "experienced Wikipedian".
:You are not prohibited from posting a comment on the voting page explaining why you think the article should be kept (just telling people "I don't think this should be deleted" and not why is, I'm afraid, not likely to convince anyone.)  But it will not be counted as a vote.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:18, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Duplicate infoboxes 

message: Hello! I know ... uh, nothing about this subject. But I'm going to be doing some background research and my plan is to edit the article quite a bit over the next few weeks, time permitting. In case that falls through, I did want to highlight why I added the tags to the article.
# First, the criticism section is, to a large degree, a great example of the type of section WP:CRITS cautions against. The fact that Kilpatrick's resignation of the mayoral position isn't discussed in the "Mayor of Detroit" section is a bit baffling.
# The criticism section is also over detailed. 
## I've already trimmed down the discussion of the Greene lawsuit—which, it should be noted, notwithstanding all the affidavits, ultimately didn't even go to trial (a fact that hadn't yet been mentioned). 
## There was also discussion of a Slander lawsuit that appeared to be predicated on the fact that Kilpatrick was ... mentioned in the suit? Mayors of major cities are named or mentioned in many, many suits. That's not enough to warrant inclusion of those suits in the bio.
## Why is the Carmen Harlan speech pull quoted? Its only reference is to ... a video of that speech. Was it widely reported in other media sources? 
#Kilpatrick's given name is repeated far too frequently. Generally, under MOS:SURNAME and MOS:SAMESURNAME, the appropriate thing to do is use a full name on first mention, and then refer to the subject only by their surname. (resolved--Jerome Frank Disciple 16:31, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

message: There isn't a standardisation on these types of lists, but I have a couple of alternatives.
*University of Canterbury Drama Society
This is a page I worked on quite a bit.  As you can see, each year is a level 3 heading (===).  This would allow the nominees and the winner to separate lists:
=== 2000 ===
*Winner: Lord of the Ring-dings, by someone
*Nominees
**Lord of the Ring-a-dings, by a pirate
**Lord of the Ring-a-dings 2, by a pirate 2
**...
Alternatively, we could use the same format, but just bold the winner (as before):
=== 2000 ===
*Lord of the Ring-dings, by someone
*Lord of the Ring-a-dings, by a pirate
*Lord of the Ring-a-dings 2, by a pirate 2
*...
But I'm fine with the current layout.
The only issue with not putting the winner into the list with the nominees that I have is that it's a bit like saying:
1999 I ate a pie
*I didn't eat a pie
From what I can see, there isn't any real emphasis or reason to 'promote' the film any higher than it should.  It's because it's already bolded; perhaps it has enough emphasis already.
But then again, I know absolutely nothing about this topic, so if anyone thinks that the current layout is fine, that's fine with me.  -x42bn6 Talk 06:40, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Pyroxene

message: I have started adding to the pyroxenes and could use some guidence on the best way to proceed on all the solid solution series.  This is clearly a huge group and there will be a lot of repatition if each mineral has its own page.  What I sugest is that each serese gets its own page (e.g. the Enstatite - Ferrosilite series, the diopside - hedenbergite series etc) Each page can then cover the geology and mineraology in a consistent way.  If this sounds like a sensible option do we need redirects from each minerals page to a new page for the series. Your thoughts please! - andreww 8/12/2004
:Sounds like a sensible approach to me. I've just re-organized the pyroxenes a bit in Silicate minerals. Hope this can help your project. Modelled after Hurlbut, Cornelius S.; Klein, Cornelis, 1985, Manual of Mineralogy, 20th ed. Three basic series to work with, plus a couple of odd ones: (Pigeonite & Spodumene)
