Talk:Julia Griggs Havey

message: This editor has been admonished in the past and told to refrain from editing this article re his personal and obvious obsession/stalking/harassment of the person.  He lies in wait and when he thinks no one will notice or care, he does an edit, gets away with it, does a few more. IS anyone watching the hen house?!

message: has this ever appeared in this article? although anyone can sue, it did get news, so may be considered notable: .i will see what i can add to article. hard to find real refs beyond the dross. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting and certianly noteworthy enough to include. However, according to this report, the lawsuit did seek monetary gain -- $9.77 million. Coca Cola countered that the lawsuit was frivlous and it was apparently withdrawn without Coca Cola accomodating any of the litignats requests for changes to the program. Rhode Island Red (talk) 15:19, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Yes, only the notice of intent asked for money, but I don't see any source that reported the money was to go for a children's health fund.  I have yet to find any source that backs up the claim that Coke lowered point values; in fact, every source directly contradicts this and says Coke did not make changes and even called the lawsuit frivolous and a move intended to promote a new book.  That's not a judgement about the literal truth of any of the information, just a note of what is actually verifiable. Shell   babelfish 14:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Phase angle (astronomy)

message: The value of 180 is the position when the object is between the illuminator and the observer, known as the astronomical opposition
That sounds wrong. Astronomical opposition is one case where the phase angle is 0. I think this should say The value of 180 is the position when the object is between the illuminator and the observer, known as the astronomical inferior conjunction --Albert White 14:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 0° is theoretically possible in superior conjunction, although planets cannot be observed in such position. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:07, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added 'inferior conjunction' to the article as suggested.  Another point: What is said about backscattering and forward scattering may be technically correct, but I think it is unusual in an astronomical context and suggest it be removed from the article.I'm not sure the article itself should be removed as it at least gives the definition (which is why I found myself on the article page). --Brian Josephson (talk) 18:38, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the statement that 0 deg. corresponds to opposition is wrong as it could also be superior conjunction, so I've removed that part of the sentence from the article, which I'm beginning to think is pretty dubious (hope I've got that right as my head is beginning to spin). --Brian Josephson (talk) 18:51, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Frederick E. Morgan

message: Some suggestions:
:...that Lieutenant General Frederick E. Morgan oversaw the initial development of plans for Operation Overlord during World War II?
:...that General Bernard Montgomery regarded the initial plan for Operation Overlord developed under the command of  Lieutenant General Frederick E. Morgan as being unworkable but later adopted most of its key features? 
:...that Lieutenant General Frederick E. Morgan was widely believed to have been accidentally appointed the British Controller of Atomic Energy instead of General Sir William Duthie Morgan?
I particularly like the third option, though it's a bit disrespectful... Nick-D (talk) 07:01, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  DYK ideas 

message: The section on Morgan's position at UNRRA is highly slanted to exculpate Morgan using his own autobiography as a source. It also provides a biased overview of his role in post-war Germany by focusing on his dismissal without actually outlining his accomplishments or lack thereof.Merrybrit (talk) 23:40, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's pretty damning as it stands, and draws on a variety of sources. What additional things do you think it should say? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:45, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's not balanced, besides one paragraph relating the episode, it spends five paragraphs based purely on his self-exculpatory biography and one Time magazine article to justify his remarks, claim that they were journalistic "lies" and so on. It is highly tendentious to quote at length his bitter memoir (not my characterisation but ODNB (Brian Bond, p. 114)) about supposed Jewish conspiracies with Russian connivance to subvert the UNRRA to promote "Zionist aggression." Also his concern about "the inefficiency of the United Nations organisation" is referenced to Brian Bond in ODNB but is nowhere to be found in my printed copy of it. It also wasn't only the press who viewed his comments as anti-Semitic. Chaim Weizmann, leader of the World Zionist Organisation, called it "palpably anti-Semitic"1. Furthermore, the last sentence in the section ' A member of his staff said that "to serve such an outfit is degradation beyond description. In fact, [Morgan wrote], to have been rejected for such service I have always felt to have been a high honour."' is completely unclear and ungrammatical. I believe this whole section should be rewritten to achieve a balanced point of view. Merrybrit (talk) 08:58, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

text:  Note that most of this section was inserted by an anon editor, 63.80.2.81, in practically his one and only wiki contribution about ten years ago. Merrybrit (talk) 09:13, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

text:  If there are no further comments, I will go ahead and rewrite it per WP:BOLD. Merrybrit (talk) 10:03, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Fire ship

message: The artile Hellburners appears to be sub-topic of Fire ship.  As there is so little material in Hellburners, I belive it would work better as a sub-topic to Fire ship. --StuffOfInterest (talk) 15:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, in fact much information on the hellburners is available. As they were rather untypical vessels and the term itself is quite (in)famous, I feel it is best to keep separate articles. I've already expanded hellburners somewhat.--MWAK (talk) 07:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Since this merger was proposed the Hellburner article has been considerably expanded.  I believe this proposal should be retired, since the concern that triggered it no longer applies.  Geo Swan (talk) 03:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

text: In addition, I think User:87.178.74.241's concern about the section on the use in the Greek war being disproportionately specific would apply to this merger.  Geo Swan (talk) 03:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Binomial regression

message: OK let's try to improve this article. I have made a start. I think we need two further things:
:*At least one more reference, preferably more dedicated to binomial data ... is there not a book by DR Cox on binomial data.

Lots of people put photos of their loved ones on their headstones, but I know that Keith would not have wanted that, so I decided to put this piece on there.

Template talk:Welcomelaws

message: This template summarizes WP tenets in addition to providing facilitative links. The other templates lean too far in facilitating the newcomer to edit Wikipedia and Be Bold, which is all very well, but it may be beneficial to emphasise the tenets that govern such editing. ImpuMozhi 14:53, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Rationale

message: There's a small error, the current template encourages to " sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~ ", but:
* Policy is to sign with date (four tildes) on talk pages
* Same for "votes" on AFDs
So, that's at least a first point to amend, I think. Furthermore:
* Actually, four tildes are required practically everywhere, except where the page specifically ask otherwise in bold.
* And thus that seems to me to be information overload for a welcome template, the user isn't going to go into special vote pages before a while.
So, my second suggestion would be to removed the "three-tilde" concept entirely from the welcome template. The rare places that prohibit them warn against it in bold, anyway. Maybe something more like this:
: By the way, when discussing with other wikipedians, please remember to sign your messages on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your name and the current date). Again, welcome!

thread_title:  Three-tilde error 

message: Given that we give this welcome message to new users who won't know the Wikipedia lingo, I recommend we change the line
* No edit warring or sock puppetry.
to 
* No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
We have recently had the case of a user who opened a string of accounts to get around their blocks and apparently never knew that they weren't allowed to do that. Of course, one can always click on the link for "sock puppetry" to find out what it is, but we can't really expect that the new users would click on every link in the welcome message. I think using plain language is helpful here. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:46, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sockpuppetry 

message: 1. It seems a bit odd to have a link to :WP:Article titles as one of the first things we show a new user. Article titles matter, of course, but I expect that many people edit successfully for some time without needing to consult the page. A link to the Teahouse would be far more helpful to new users, and it would be easy to replace Naming conventions with The Teahouse, our help forum for new users.2. In the last paragraph, :WP:Questions would probably be a better place to send brand-new users than the :WP:Village pump. It seems less potentially confusing/intimidating, and is used on most welcome templates. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 10:21, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Removed yet again. Consensus is that flags should not be used without good reason, there's no evidence of any reason why a flag is required. The guideline has consensus, it's up to editors wishing to include a flag to prove why this article should be an exception. The flag serves no purpose except decoration, thus fails the guideline.
