Talk:Bruces sketch

message: Was the idea that "Bruce" might be a stereotypical name for an Australian originated before then, or did it have some currency before then?  Did they possibly get it from the line "Let me abos go loose Bruce" in Rolf Harris's Tie me kangaroo down sport.  So does this originate because it rhymes with "loose"? PatGallacher (talk) 18:38, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My impression has always been that they wouldn't have used the name Bruce for every character in the sketch if it weren't already a stereotype. I looked it up just now and Bruce is in the top 70 of all men's names in Victoria, Australia since 1929 (though most of them were born in the 40s and 50s—it was the 21st most popular name in the 1940s). It was probably a stereotype already, but they surely helped popularize it. --DearPrudence (talk) 10:14, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

:Penywaun (Pen-y-Waun) is a Housing Estate. It is not a village.124.185.15.244 (talk) 07:45, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's neither. As settlements go a housing estate is not a terminology used to discuss an area. It may have been built as a housing estate, but it then becomes something else, be it a town, village, etc. It is defined in publications as a suburb, so I'll change it to that.

Talk:Lotus 16

message: You describe the iconic wheels as being cast alloy, which confuses me because I though the point of the wobbly web wheels was that while everyone else used heavy cast rims, Chapman's wobbly web wheels were pressed from sheet metal (they certainly look like they were), with the shape providing strength while saving weight. It may be that they were cast, with just the die being made from pressed sheet metal, but I think it's unlikely. I'll see what I can find. Great article though! Spiderlounge 04:28, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The references which I have all state that they were cast, and if you get close to a set you can see small casting flaws through the paint on the older versions. The web design was to reduce the amount of metal used for a given strength, and was little to do with the manufacturing process. Added to that, I, personally, wouldn't feel at all comfortable running on a pressed alloy wheel. The wheels would have to be very carefully heat treated to remove manufacturing fatigue.

Talk:Khwao Sinarin district

message: Hi. Let's not forget the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. From what I can gather, the Royal Institute/Society has provided conflicting information on the name's pronunciation. In its romanised names directory, it previously gave the spelling "Khwao Sinarin". However, in its pronunciation guide for amphoe names, it states that the name is pronounced เขฺวา-สิน-ริน = khwao-sin-rin. I'd venture a guess that the spelling in the romanisation guide was based on an old or incorrect pronunciation, so the recommended Thai pronunciation should take precedence. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:30, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Locally, the name is pronounced เขฺวา-สิน-นะ-ริน (Khwao Sinnarin) . Officially, the pronunciation guide on the Royal Society's website is taken from the 16th edition of the book How to Pronounce and Spell, but the 22nd edition of the same book changed the pronunciation back to เขฺวา-สิ-นะ-ริน (Khwao Sinarin). It also gave the pronunciation of the district เขมราฐ as เขม-มะ-ราด (Khemmarat) instead of เข-มะ-ราด (Khemarat) for the first time. --Potapt (talk) 14:30, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:No original research/Sandbox/Change needed

message: That is a very case of where the definitions seem to get in the way. Copying more or less from a post I made on the NOR talk page, can't the NOR policy itself more clearly and accurately be described by using something like "original data" vs. "analyzed data (conclusions, etc.), preferably peer-reviewed when available" instead of delving into re-defining primary, etc. when such definitions already exist in Wikipedia and are linked already? Add a statement like "For further definitions see....". I think this is more along the lines of what many of us are trying to say, though this idea hasn't yet been clearly and succintly expressed (if it can be)(Unitil Vassyana's summary). I could be wrong though, I'll let others comment on if maybe this might be what some of us are trying to work towards, without weakening the policy. I also think that many of us from the groups 1 & 2 talked about previously, still fail somehow to see how moving the PSTS section from NOR (to some other, more appropriate place, not a deletion), would weaken the NOR policy. The policy itself is purely about not allowing original research into a Wikipedia article, not about how to classify different sorts of 'source material'. While one may help the other and be otherwise related, they are completely different subjects, like having an article on the Korean War with a distinct sub-section included in it that goes into detail on what weapons are, what the different kinds of weapons are used for and how they used, etc. It may be usefull knowledge, but really has no bearing on the article (or in this case, policy). wbfergus  Talk 18:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Fully Uncompelled Binding Administrator Recall

message: adminship should be revoked by building consensus on WP:CSN (or by arbcom of course). Either something is voluntary, or it isn't. I would welcome making this sort of thing compelling for all admins, with suitable conditions to forestall trolling and bad faith "recalls". 
I am myself "open to recall", however I take the liberty to specify the circumstances of a valid "recall",
:"good standing" shall mean 500 mainspace edits excluding revert-warring *and* a block log clean of recent blocks for blatant abuse or trolling. I will be prepared to re-apply on the suggestion of a *single* editor whom I recognize as a valuable and sane contributor.
I am often up to my neck in disputes with people shouting "admin abuse" in my general direction, but so far nobody has even tried to "recall" me. The record shows that the process works, but so far has resulted only in a single two month's withdrawal of adminship. I suggest that there is no reason that any admin should not submit to have his buttons withdrawn upon CSN consensus, so the easiest way to do this is putting a note at CSN that "sanctions" can take any form, including blocks, revert restrictions, admin recall, or various paroles (such as, this admin shall not block anyone for such-and-such a time, but is free to keep his delete button, as the case may require). --dab (𒁳) 13:57, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
