Talk:Alex Rance

message: In response to the CSD A7 that has just been placed on this article: it is an article about a person who has just been drafted into the premier Australian Football competition, perhaps the equivalent of being drafted into the American NFL or being on the senior playing list of the English Premier League. The significance of the subject is the same as the other 2,000 plus Wikipedia entries on VFL/AFL players and tens of thousands of professional team sports players.
This page should be deleted as it has no signifigance, otherwise the information should be merged into Richmond Football Club.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.218.171 (talk) 11:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Burn Cycle

message: its leaving out the fact that the time limit can be exstended by playing psychic roulette in fact the zip caracter does not give any kind of time exstention device in the game. each time you win psychic roulettle you win free time and this is so that you can have anough time to win all of the prizes in the check out counter. iv had my time exstended by a entire hour just by repeatedly playing the psychic roulette game. but be very careful becasue if you lose the game you get a hugh loss of time penalty its not a problem if your already ahead alot. also this artical is not mentioning that the setting for this game takes place in the 2060s decade.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The article mentions a promotional website, but sadly almost all trace has been lost - the Internet Archive only has the pre-introduction page. Billboard gives the URL as http://www.burn-cycle.com/, Vibe and Popular Science have http://www.burncycle.com/, CMJ New Music Monthly has http://burncycle.com, all dead. URLs were cheap back then. It appears to have launched around August 1995 (Billboard says it launched nine weeks before 26 September 1995, CMJ dated October 1995 says that it's not available yet, but magazines are typically written a month before the cover date, and perhaps the article was written earlier still). -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:40, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nationality 

message: I have removed a recent addition to the article which I believe to be sourced ultimately from Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Talk:National Sheriffs' Association

message: Under the purpose section is this quote:
During the 2009 Annual Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano gave the keynote address focusing on the Department's law enforcement priorities including border security and immigration. Nominee of Republican Party for President, Senator John McCain, delivered his crime speech[1] as the Keynote Speaker[2] at the 2008 Annual Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana.
How does this describe the purpose of the NSA? The first sentence is a very round about way of describing the NSA's goals, and the second seems a blatant plug for John McCain, WHEN he was running for president almost 4 years ago.
This article doesn't do the National Sherrif's Assoc. any justice. It just comes off sounding like dishonest marketing jargon.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.71.145 (talk) 03:39, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:The Horseman's Word

message: Hi, nice work you've been doing on the article. I see you removed the lead section, and the article now needs a new one. The purpose of the lead is to very briefly summarise the article and orient the reader; often readers won't be looking for detailed info and will read the lead only. There's no problem if the lead repeats some of the stuff mentioned later on. Cheers,  Fuzzypeg  talk  04:44, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Is it possible that Room to Read could be the first charity using this model?  
its not the first, Habitat for Humanity has had a similar model for years as well, not that this should take anything away from room to read, its a great charity with some fantastic goals.  its also a very well run organization.Mbr1983 (talk) 14:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:List of Australian Aboriginal mythological figures

message: This list is an interesting list which appears to collect together a large number of individual stub articles - although:
1. I strongly suspect this collection still only represents a small, fairly ad hoc sampling of the full number of Aboriginal deities/mythical characters/ancestral beings actually being told of by Aust Aboriginal people's across 400 or more groups, across this nation
2. nearly all of the articles listed badly need to be expanded upon, in particular:..
* i.  for Wikipedia verifiability standards:  sources to be identified
* ii. for  authenticity reasons: the person/s and/or groups who orginally provided the names; and the person's/groups who tell of the deities; and/or the persons/audiences who recorded the names and the associated mythologies need to be identified
* iii. for  pan-Australian Aboriginal consistency sake, if the list is to have meaning: as far as practical the deities and/or their mythologies ought to be located within the Australian continent (where they are told of/occurr), and, as far as is possible, located within their local landscapes/topographies/geographies.
For the above reasons, I do not think it would be terribly useful to seek to merge the list, or the incomplete, ad hoc scatter of stub articles into the Australian Aboriginal mythology article.
Rather, perhaps, this list could/should form the beginnings of a working list for a large 'Australian Aboriginal mythology' project .. especially if there were a way to also locate the deities/characters/beings named within parts of the continent and/or local cultural landscapes from which the myths are sourced??  Bruceanthro (talk) 00:22, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: well, by all means, the problem is who will implement such a "large 'Australian Aboriginal mythology' project", and what to do with the article until anyone does. We can always slap a couple of tags on it and leave it lying, of course. dab (𒁳) 12:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It has been suggested on  Australian Wikipedians' notice board#List of Australian Aboriginal deities that perhaps a Wiki project of the above suggested/necessary scale and nature might be started up as part of the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of Australia (still under construction?!).

Talk:Raphael I Bidawid

message: In an interview with Bidawid, published in 2003, he commented on the Assyrian name dispute and declared his ethnic point of view:
:“I personally think that these different names serve to add confusion. The original name of our Church was the ‘Church of the East’ ... When a portion of the Church of the East became Catholic, the name given was ‘Chaldean’ based on the Magi kings who came from the land of the Chaldean, to Bethlehem. The name ‘Chaldean’ does not represent an ethnicity... We have to separate what is ethnicity and what is religion... I myself, my sect is Chaldean, but ethnically, I am Assyrian.”
The term "Chaldean" is indeed simply a THEOLOGICAL TERM and not an ethnic one, Chaldean Catholica are exactly the same people ethnically as the Assyrians.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.106.116.120 (talk) 00:48, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
