Talk:Tchoung style Tai Chi Chuan

message: I just discovered the pages for the so-called Tchoung style tai chi. Not disputing that this guy taught his own version of tai chi which was obviously Yang influenced. But his students claim he learned from a much older generation of Yang teachers than Yang Chengfu, this and other claims by the people who wrote the page (his students of course) allude to the Tchoung style being "original" Yang style that is superior to the lineage of all other Yang teachers. Historical truth not withstanding, wikipedia has strict NPOV and if we dont let people write their own bios, then we sure as hell cant let his students lord it over the article of their "style" claiming to be the pure standard bearers of Yang teachings. I suggest the article for a serious overhaul, maybe even deletion. VanTucky 20:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  npov and verifiability 

message: I suggest this articles contents be merged with "Yang Style Tai Chi". Tchoung Ta Chen himself acknowledged his tai chi as the YANG dual method. and it is not unique enough to merit its own article, especially without independent citations. VanTucky 21:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Currency substitution

message: I was looking for the article to explain how the substitution of an external currency for a country's internal currency happens. Superficially, using dollarization as an example, it might sound like, "Employers, start paying your employees in dollars" and "Citizens: Go to a bank and exchange all your currency for dollars". But how do either employers or the country have all these dollars to hand out in the first place? It isn't obvious, and the article should explain it. I think its alluded to in the section of the article that covers how the foreign currency comes to be used de facto, which necessary involves accepting the foreign currency as payment for exports, but it isn't clear that that results in enough of the currency being present inside the country to allow for such an exchange to occur universally throughout the population.

Talk:Undercover (band)

message: Hello, Undercover fans.  I've felt for a while that this band wasn't being represented well enough on Wikipedia, so I took some time to flesh out the article a bit.  Thanks to previous contributors for getting it rolling.
Quite a bit more needs to be said, I think, especially in the Music subheading.  As you can see, I didn't really address any of the actual music, post-Branded.  It's tough to categorize a band that does something different with each album.  Please give it a shot if you can.
I tried very hard to stay NPOV, but if you think I strayed, please help me out here.  I'm not neutral about this band, and it can be difficult to write neutrally when you're a fan.  Thanks for the help.   Mitchell k dwyer 03:23, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:AmeriFlora '92

message: Light current removed this paragraph, which I now realize used weasel words and needed to be cited:
Some believe neither the location nor the subject matter was enough of a draw, and balked at the $20 adult ticket price; many Columbus residents did not attend. Some wondered what the quincentenary of Columbus' voyage had to do with a flower show. By opening day, the costs were so great that every adult and child in Columbus proper would have had to buy a ticket, and one-fourth of them would have had to attend twice.
I'm relying on several of the sources I listed in the references section, but I don't recall which statements came from which, so when I have time I'll look them up and properly attribute them. That is, instead of Some believe, I'll make it Margaret Newkirk of Columbus Monthly magazine claimed/alleged/asserted. While I'm at it, I suppose I should cite the other statements regarding the financial performance as well.
I like how you split things up into subheadings too -- I knew the page was a bit wordy, so this makes it flow much better. Thanks for the help! --Birdhombre 03:34, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Wehatetech

message: To those who continue to argue long after the discussion has been closed:
The first point that you need to get through your skulls is THIS IS NOT PERSONAL. assume good faith.
There are a great many podcasts out there. Far too many for any one podcaster to be considered notable unless they're someone like Adam Curry or Dawn and Drew, in other words a pioneer or someone who has made a significant splash on pop culture. It's the same with webcomics and web forums -- there's a great many garden-variety webcomics and forums, but there are very few Sexy Losers, User Friendlys, and Slashdots. It is true that Wikipedia is not paper. But check out WP:NOT as well -- it isn't a dumping ground for information or a promotional venue. If it gets to the point where Wehatetech becomes notable in the outside world -- if you guys get quoted significantly in magazines, for example, or if you create a notable meme -- then there will be room for an article for you. Or you could get notability the way you're going, by browbeating and vandalizing the wiki. That method will probably get you permabanned, and there's a large contingent of AfD voters who don't want vandals to get any recognition at all, which might put into jeopardy even bad publicity. 
There is no need for this to turn into a vendetta. There's enough egotistical morons who want to see Wikipedia go down for not seeing things their way -- don't be among them. Haikupoet 03:36, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article.

Talk:Dwarf Arctic Birch

message: Apparently also exists as Dwarf Birch; will need to merge these or determine if these are two separate species of birch. Deirdre 03:50, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is conflicting information/opinion as to whether Betula nana is native in North America, i.e. as to whether the North American dwarf birches are a subspecies B. nana subsp. glandulosa, or are distinct species in their own right B. glandulosa. For convenience, there's a lot to be said for taking the latter view (i.e. keep this page separate, but just change the scientific name to B. glandulosa), but this might be viewed by some as scientifically unjustifiable. There's also a bit of a problem with the common name, as 'Arctic Dwarf Birch' is listed for the related Eurasian Betula humilis; this page might be better moved to 'American Dwarf Birch'. See also Betula classification for other dwarf birches. - MPF 00:11, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My information is coming mostly from University of Alaska Fairbanks professors, who acknowledge the taxonomic brouhaha over various birch names/species/hybridizations. B. nana and glandulosa are defined as separate species with distinct morphological differences; both are present in North America. As you say, what with the hybridization issue, native species issue, and plain old naming battles, a good case either way could be made for this page. How about indicating that this is a species with which classification is uncertain, referring to the other nana/glandulosa species pages and vice versa, and delineating the problem? Since it is an issue in scientific circles, it might be worth mentioning. Deirdre 22:17, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Looks to me like they should be merged. ping 06:57, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked up in the Flora of North America which clearly gives Betula nana sensu stricto as native in North America as well as Europe and Asia, so the two should be merged. I'll add more details on the Dwarf Birch page to reflect this. - MPF 14:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Word ladder

message: What is the antecedent of "This" in the following paragraph?  "Some other versions of the games only allow letters to be changed (that is, no adding or removing letter or changing letter order—this version has been called word golf) or demand that the end word has some kind of relationship with the start word (synonymical, antonymical, semantic...). This was also the way the game was originally devised by Lewis Carroll when it first appeared in Vanity Fair."  Is it the "word golf" version or the relationship version?  And what does Vanity Fair have to do with anything?  —JerryFriedman 03:56, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments

message: This entry should be called 'Doublets' - Lewis Carroll's original name and still widely used.  Carroll's rules were that single letters could be changed (to make interim words) but not removed or inserted.  Following his article in Vanity Fair (29 March 1879), that magazine ran a weekly Doublets prize competition.  
The game has since been reproduced, sometimes with rule variations to allow the insertion, deletion or shuffling of letters,under a variety of names, including: Transformations, Passes, Stepwords, Transitions, Word Chains, Word Ladders, Word Links, Word Ping-Pong, and Word Golf.
My reference (The Oxford Guide to Word Games, by Tony Augarde, which has a whole chapter on 'The Games of Lewis Carroll') includes much more relevant material.  But I don't have time to present it nicely now.
