thread_title:  Table Update 

message: Combined these two games, as I believe they are both the same game after testing both titles personally.
Can't find any existing internet sources to corroborate my claim, but best I can do is show comparisons between:
* Screenshots on the back of the Big Bass box art - https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/919177-big-bass/boxes/26998
* Gameplay footage from Mark Davis Pro Bass Challenge - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw3X6i0w__8
You'll see exactly the same game UI, menus, etc. It also doesn't make much sense that a Japanese-developed game (SIMS Co., Ltd.) was never released in their home market, so I think I've stumbled across the correct pairing here.

message: I'm afraid the author has misunderstood the nature of a bomb vessel. It is not intended to moor alongside something and then explode.

Talk:Fernão do Pó

message: I changed this entry from 'Fernão da Pó' to 'Fernão do Pó'. I have not yet done anything like an exhaustive search; but from what I have examined thus far (incl. the Encyclopedia Britannica), I have only seen the name with 'do'. I decided to start making this change now since the article is being expanded, and the addition of more links would only make the matter of renaming the article more difficult later on. If anyone has any documentation of the name being listed with 'da', please share it here. Thanks, S. Neuman 15:42, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Discoverer? 

message: I removed the following sentence from the article "He is also credited as having introduced cocoa to the West African country of Ghana, having brought seeds with him from Fernando Pó, or Bioko, island". It was already marked with a citation needed. Po may be credited with introducing cocoa, and I suppose it's possible he did so, but it seems extremely unlikely.  Cocoa is native to the Americas and was first encountered by Europeans (Columbus) in 1502. Given that Po was exploring in 1472, he must have been at least 50 years old in 1502.  Add in so more time for cocoa to be recognized as worth spreading around the world, and for it to get from the Americas to Bioko, and it seems that Po would've been very old or dead by the time cocoa was introduced to Ghana.192.104.39.2 (talk) 15:25, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Estranged (song)/Archive 1

message: Part of the article says "Axl is then shown being taken to a mental health clinic, while definitions of various emotional disorders flash on screen as Axl talks to his therapists about his emotional problems (a theme that was touched upon in the video for "Don't Cry")." Firstly, there was no indication that it was a mental health clinic - it looked more like a mansion. How many mental health clinics have swings in the backyard with children playing? Mental health clinics are generally inaccessible to the general public. Second, Axl wasn't talking to anyone, and there weren't any people even dressed as therapists. There also weren't any definitions of emotional disorders flashing on the screen, only definitions of the word 'estranged'. I think the article should be changed.
::Yes, someone definitely has missed the point of the video. The song's lyrics are clearly about seperation and divorce. The video is quite self-indulgent, but I think the middle portion is very clear: Axl is being escorted by police away from his property. During this sequence, definitions for "Estranged" flash across the screen which support this concept (including the phrase "seperation or divorcement"). The opening sequence with the SWAT team is a little easier to understand in this context. It would seem that Axl has broken in to the same (now-abandoned) property that he was removed from during the middle sequence, and law enforcement and emergency teams have been called in to remove him and/or prevent him from harming himself. Presumably the final sequence shows him trying to end his life, but changing his mind or being rescued. Bulbous 20:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of graphic designers

message: I deleted several obvious self promotions and added some trully notable designers. These kind of pages are obvious tests for wiki concept. Let's say that the standard for this page is that they are referenced / recognized / studied in graphic design education internationally (officially part of graphic design history).

Talk:SystemVerilog

message: This entire section reads like a personal blog entry.  It should be removed.
-> I entirely agree.  This sounds like the screed of a petulant child.  I sympathize with the author's point that SystemVerilog's touted advantages are nowhere near as clear as its advocates and the EDA vendors tout - and I work for a consulting company that promotes it.  It is debatable whether that point is appropriate to a Wikipedia entry on the topic.  But assuming the point is worth making here, the following blatant falsehood betrays the author's lack of objectivity:
"However, it should be noted that anybody skilled enough to write a mixed Verilog/C++ testbench can easily migrate to SystemVerilog environment with less than a day of effort due to the great similarity between the old method of mixed Verilog/C++ and SystemVerilog"
That's just a silly, misinformed statement.

message: Hi. I made several edits to the Education section. The one about racism was removed. So was a sentence about inter-district transfers, which made it clear that the students of Bend are also able to study in other Central Oregon schools (and vice-versa). I am not pleased to find these deleted. This is the kind of information people need when looking for neutral information about a city's educational offerings.
These deletions and similar attitudes make this supposedly encyclopedic page sound like a tourist brochure for the City of Bend. What is the problem with briefly providing relevant information and citing local newspapers as legitimate sources?
