replies: text: I'm removing this list because (1) something you heard like that is probably not encyclopedic/verifiable (a specific reference would help) and (2) a list containing 1 program makes it seem like it's either the only example or the most significant example. I don't think such a list really adds to the content of the article anyways. If there are only one or two programs that you can use as example then it's probably best to work it into the article text rather than create a separate list. —DemonThing talk 08:58, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[3ds max]] is said to have CTD crashes? 

message: The article is pretty accurate. Its purpose would most likely be to describe what a CTD is to someone who has not heard the term before or is not very familiar with computers, and I think it provides the necessary information. It's hard to provide sources for something like this because what the article describes is something most users are familiar with by empirical observation. CTD's are as ubiquitous as the poorly programmed software that produces them, making this pretty much self-evident. CyberRaptor (talk) 22:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. It's such a layman's experience I doubt there will be sources outside of mere gamer discussion. Somehow, I don't think anyone will be writing a book about it, so it's going to be difficult to find a credible source. 69.245.89.129 (talk) 19:29, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The article claims that "Windows Vista has a new feature that can help track down the cause of a CTD problem when it occurs on any program. Windows XP also included a similar feature as well," but does not elaborate any further. What feature? Details please. —Lowellian (reply) 02:47, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:NHK Trophy

message: According to the ISU, the bronze medalists in 1995 were Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman. This is problematic because Ina was still skating with Jason Dungjen in 1995. Pairs on Ice has the bronze medalists as being Natalia Krestianinova & Aleksei Torchinsky. While I'm trusting Pairs on Ice for all the before-GP years, I used the ISU's results for this, in faith that maybe they just got Ina's partner wrong. Was anyone at the competition/have better knowledge of who the actual bronze medalists were? Kolindigo 08:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Note on 1995 Pairs Result 

message: I propose to rename this article NHK Trophy (figure skating). User:Kolindigo suggested the name. The reason is that NHK, the Japanese broadcaster, sponsors more than a dozen competitions with the name "NHK Trophy." See :ja:NHK杯 for a fuller list of trophies that NHK awards. These include go and shogi, gymnastics, horse racing and bicycle racing. In addition, NHK awards a trophy with the same name at competitions such as sumo, rugby football, and football (soccer). 
The title NHK Trophy should be for an article covering all of these. Initially most would be red links. Editors may create articles when they wish, with the structure in place and a systematic, well-thought-out naming convention. 
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan#NHK Trophy has a small amount of additional discussion.
Fg2 (talk) 11:17, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My one concern about this is the "Initially most would be red links" part combined with the may part of "Editors may create articles when they wish". I don't like the idea of making a disambiguation page either just for the sake of having a disambiguation page or so that this will match Japanese Wikipedia. As long as other articles are created (or already exist) that share the name and so a disambig page is necessary, I have no problem. BTW, just curious, how notable or important are the other trophies that NHK hands out? Kolindigo (talk) 20:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Packages being hard to open

message: Sounds like “wrap rage” is a psychological condition. Since when is Consumer Reports a credible source in that field? --Rob Kennedy 01:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's the logical reaction to the increasing tendency of packaging engineers to overpackage products in response to product tampering scandals (like the notorious Tylenol scandal).  That is, wrap rage is simply the symptom of an underlying problem, and Consumer Reports is obviously a credible source on consumer-producer relations.  After all, Consumers Union is regularly sued by manufacturers who do not like its candid evaluations of their products.  --Coolcaesar 02:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Credible sources

message: "Bleach-bottle tops, shrink-wrapped cheese, small electronics, milk cartons, child-proof bottles and ring-pull cans are common products that induce wrap rage."  Should not need a citation, the claim is not that these are the most common source's of "wrap-rage," (a claim that would need a citation,) but that these are "common items" that can cause it.

Talk:ARL 44

message: Perhaps a general warning is appropriate here: in some sources, published in the UK or USA, it is stated that the ARL 44 was developed from the ARL 40, the latter being described as remaining a paper project only of a tank with a 75 mm gun in a turret. Alas, the sections dedicated to the subject of French tanks in general English language tank books tend to be riddled with error — and the case of the ARL 40 is no exception. The ARL 40 had little if anything to do with the ARL 44; and contrary to these sources a prototype was built and it had a 75 mm gun in the hull. The sources confuse the ARL 40 (the name is similar), the Char G1 (75 mm gun turret in the later specification) and the ARL prototype of the Char B40. The latter project really had some connection with the ARL 44, but even in this case it is slight. It is incorrect to suggest the ARL 44 had some single direct "ancestor project".--MWAK (talk) 06:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: ARL 40

message: One user contributed this edit, which as such is probably original research, but also interesting enough to merit a mention here:

Talk:Sheffield Wool Shear Workers Union

message: Reading the article, I was most saddened to hear of the winding-up of the SWSWU. Although the union was insignificant in purely numerical terms (but certainly not to its members), the end of the SWSWU represents the breaking of another link to the early days of the trade union movement. Some may say that there are enough "general unions" such as Unite, that could represent makers of sheep-shearing tools, but the SWSWU, one of the last geographically and trade-specific unions, stuck it out until the decline of their trade resulted in their own demise. Would they have been better-off as some obscure reference in the rule book of a major union? Perhaps not. That they did not endure a name change and a dilution of their democratic structures every three or four years, will have been a blessing.
One thing that puts the major unions to shame is the gender balance in the SWSWU, which was much better than most of the major unions.

Talk:Union of Democratic Mineworkers

message: Who disputes the neutrality of this article, and why? Drutt (talk) 03:35, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Me, now. The whole tone is subtly anti-UDM, with a first paragraph that contradicts itself and the infobox thing (the union appears to have been criticised before it was even founded, for instance) and undue prominence given to a minor news story about corruption that would get nowhere on the NUM page. And no, before you ask, I'm not a UDM member, I'm not a miner, I'm not a member of any political party although I am a socialist, and I have no direct connection with mining at all (my uncle worked for the NCB/BC in South Wales, not as a miner, but I haven't seen him for 20 years). I came here after hearing the awful news from Swansea and wondering if the UDM was still going. Sadly, the article told me nothing of use. Less Awfulness (talk) 17:22, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually came onto this page to quickly pull the citations for the facts that the UDM was regarded as a "scab Union" in the '80s, contained many undercover police in senior positions, and co-operated closely with the Thatcher Government to undermine the striking NUM, but strangely none of those facts are on here - so yeah I agree that it has VERY questionable neutrality, but not for the reasons you think it does. Guess I'll look somewhere else.

Talk:Unity Gazette

message: I have reverted the changes by User:dereksimpson. Firstly the owner of this userid has broken Wikipedia policy by choosing the name of a famous person, which Derek Simpson (trade unionist) clearly is in the context of this article. Also the claims are presented in a POV and scurrilous manner.
It is not my intention to censor Wikipedia.
As I understand it, the events alluded to are as follows:
* Expulsion of four SWP members from the NEC Gazette Caucus with one explanation citing their support for the Wembley dispute. They remain members of the National Gazette.
* Expulsion/exclusion of several members from the North West Gazette Caucus over that committee's practice of Mandating. Some are SWP members, others are not. Most if not all remain members of the National Gazette. The North West situation has been criticised by members of London region and also by the owner of the amicus.cc website.
* Changes to the national Editorial Board at the last Gazette AGM in February 2006. The Chair and Editor, both members of the "Amicus Three", were removed and shortly afterwards dismissed from the union.
As a Gazette member myself I am not happy with these events, which I feel have caused serious damage not only to the Gazette's credibility but also its ability to campaign for lay member democracy in Amicus and in the "New Union". 
However, any mention of these issues needs to be done in an NPOV way, and not in a scurrilous manner.
