Talk:Japan national baseball team

message: I removed Tadahito Iguchi from the list since he has publicly declared he would not be playing for Japan. I'm not sure if it's worth noting his absense (or Hideki Matsui's for that matter). --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 10:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of Tadahito Iguchi

message: More of a question than trying to push an opinion, but seeing  at the top of the article puzzles me. I don't see any comments that scream out "I need references", nor how hanging footnotes on any line or sentence would improve things. This is, when all is said & done, a list; the facts should have their cites in those articles. Or maybe my assumption is wrong, based on misunderstanding hwo the average reader would look at this article. Thoughts? -- llywrch 21:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: No.  See Baseball at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Team squads#Japan for that.  I believe the idea of the edit above was to move the roster from one single event to a more appropriate place, and also clean up the national team article so it would focus on more than just the 2006 WBC.

Talk:United States of South America

message: The last statement ("Mexico will never be part of this union since ratified in the year 2005 the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America defining this way its perpetual alliance with Canada and the United States of America") smacks of POV and is not true; I see nowhere in the agreement signed by the nations of North America that would preclude Mexico joining a future Latin American Union, and even if it did, a future government could simply sever the ties.  
Mexico is a sovereign nation, and if it wanted to sever all ties with the US and Canada and instead join the European Union (and the EU chose to admit them despite being an ocean away from any other member state), it is their right.  Therefore, I deleted the statement.--Bjeversole 10:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ignacio Zuloaga

message: Just a couple of comments on this article:
*The Spanish->English translation involved the chronology and a couple of sentences elsewhere; there was already a pre-existing first section from what I can tell which came mainly from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica article.  If someone were to double-check the translation from the Spanish original it would probably benefit both articles.  I don't think the Spanish-language version gets nearly as much traffic.  I already made one correction to the original after a change to the English version.  If recent editors referenced the original, posting comments to that effect on this talk page would give a better picture of any double-checking that has taken place.  
*It is unclear if a recent change in the sentence about the painters youth of "años juveniles" (young years) to "childhood" is accurate.  It is more specific than the translated source.  If this is based on something more than general knowledge/personal recollection, sources would be helpful.

Talk:Stephen Lowe (playwright)

message: I have known Stephen Lowe since 1984, and have been friends with him for much of that time.  However, I had seen and admired a couple of his plays (Touched and Tibetan Inroads) before I ever met him.  I am also a professional librarian, and so the principles of Wikipedia - ie neutrality, that information should be verifiable and referenced, and also comprehensiveness - were part of my professional training.  (I will be adding some sources and references to the entry very soon.) 
If I do have any impulse to promote Stephen's work on Wikipedia, it is to ensure that the work of a very fine playwright - one of his plays, Touched, was one of the fifty plays chosen by the Royal Court to represent their history in Look Back: 50 readings, 50 writers, 50 plays in 2006 - is not overlooked just because most of his recent work has not been produced in London.  
Incidentally, I don't think there is any connection between the Wikipedia user Stelowe and Stephen Lowe (playwright).  If you look carefully at Stelowe's only contribution to this entry, all he did was add these words, "Stephen Lowe, 18, Lancashire" (his name, his age and his location) - in other words, I think he is probably just a namesake.

thread_title:  Incomplete list! 

message: I've noticed that when you look at the edit history page, there are multiple cases where a notable person was removed from the list because an admin said it was 'unsourced' or something similar. And yet, plenty of entries in the list lack sources, but they still remain. In fact Wikipedia's standard practise is that you place a citation flag with a date on it and then allow an appropriate time for other Wiki editors to fill in the details (thats how wikis in general work). Yet admins seem to have a policy of randomly reverting only a few specific additions (why only these specific ones? Did Roy Ananda, or Chris Sperou, or Danny Phillipou - all of whom are real people with news articles or other sources reporting on or about them, some even with Wikipedia pages about them - do something to upset an admin once?) that lack citations, while leaving plenty of others that lack citations alone. There seems to be no consistent rule applied. Quick google searches turn up easy citations for many of the removed people, yet the admins in question apparently haven't performed those searches to add the citation, as would be the normal expected practise of a person imposing a deletion for lack of sources.

replies: text: Hi IP, I'm not an admin, but my general practice has been to remove names that don't have either a wikilink or a reference, as a wikipedia article in and of itself establishes notability, so there is no inconsistency in not having references for those people. Nothing personal against anyone, but given how often pages like this are vandalised by people adding themselves or made up people, I have no problem putting the onus on those who want a name included to establish notability by either providing a wikilink to show they have a wikipedia article or providing a reference.

thread_title:  Possible corrections to be made 

message: Is it worth adding that the attribution to Ingenhousz of describing Brownian type motion is now being queried. Beale and Beale, 2011 in their biography of Ingenhousz 'Echoes of Ingenhousz' (Wiki ref. 1 in Jan_Ingenhousz) discuss and question the van der Pas interpretation in 1968 / 1971 of the Ingenhousz experiment (ref. 22 in the entry) and remark that it's 'almost certainly an overenthusiastic conjecture'. Ingenhousz was using the experiment to demonstrate the benefit of a coverslip which he is credited with inventing; one benefit is to significantly reduce evaporation. As Ingenhousz describes, with no coverslip 'everything' i.e. of all sizes is in 'violent' motion which is not a description of Brownian motion i.e. a gentler jiggling of particles typically 4 microns in size or less. (Quotes from van der Pas's translation, ref. 22). Declaration of own work (acceptable I gather on a Talk page to support a discussion): The experiment can be readily repeated (link below) with any student microscope and shows clumps of charcoal particles many times larger than those that exhibit Brownian motion are in motion caused by the evaporation currents. The second shows true typical Brownian motion of suspended fat globules in dilute milk.

Redirection is not deletion, since it can be reversed and the article history is preserved. Thus no consenus to delete = default keep.

:In any case, the consensus is irrelevant as this article is a 'how to' with a North American Schools bias. WP:NOT a 'how to'. Historical essays in N. American schools context may well mean what this article suggests. But 'historical essay' itself means only an essay (i.e. short one-author piece of work) pertaining to history. It is not neccessarily an 'assignment'and nothing this article states neccessarily applies to it. If we remove all the errors and POV and 'how-to-stuff' we are left with a dicdef: 'is an essay pertaining to history'.
