thread_title:  Page name 

message: I find the title of the first section (Ender's Game and Shadow Quartet) not meaningfull. 
Although it gives a correct window of the period which is described, it doesn't reflect the contenct of the section. 
And while the title involves Shadow Quartet, only two books of the series are mentioned. 
My suggestions would be:
* Origin
* Mind Game or Fantasy Game
* a combination Origin: the Mind Game.
I've regrouped the novels with appearances of Jane in a single section, and I made subsections of each novel in the first section (renamed to 'Origin') Clockworkske (talk) 09:48, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Save Jobs Party

message: I've noticed that this political article goes right from a brief history (which appears verbatim from another page) to an entire section regarding a scandal.  From an outside perspective, it appears that this page may have been politically motivated.  I'm not familiar with much of this, but there's at least got to be a list of candidates that were endorsed that could have been added.  Rigbyl7 01:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:JOT (TV series)

message: The artistic style of JOT featured stunningly colorful cubist backgrounds over which Jot would bounce around like a flashlight beam.  It looked a lot like the cover art to an early-'60s jazz album come to life, and the soundtrack matched.  Highly expressionistiic, with colors shifting to match Jot's mercurial moods, plus startling animated abstract figures representing Jot's conscience.  Pretty far out for church-sponsored kiddy fare.

thread_title: Untitled

message: It seems strange that a show that ran from 1965 to 1982 had only 30 epusodes, especially when the article says that the 19181-82 season contained new episodes.  Is this correct?  I was born in 1976 and remember them being shown in half-hour packages.  That would mean they would show them all in under two weeks.  It didn't seem like there were that many episodes, but not so few that they were showing the same ones every week, either.

Talk:Drop tank

message: I believe the picture is not of an F-16, but of the F-16-derived Mitsubishi F-2.  Note that the F-2 is significantly larger than the F-16, particularly the elongated nose, which holds more powerful radar than the F-16.  Westwind273 (talk) 07:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: F-16 image

message: Adding the Shuttle external tank to a discussion of drop tanks seems to be quite a stretch. For one thing, this article starts out by saying that drop tanks provide "auxiliary" fuel for their parent vehicle. The ET is the ONLY fuel (as well as oxidizer) supply for the Shuttle main engines. Also, don't think you'll ever see the ET described as a drop tank in any other place, so the association here is probably unique. Thus, wouldn't this qualify as original research in violation of some Wiki rule or another? Jmdeur (talk) 19:59, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mitsubishi Zero 

message: "In aeronautics, a drop tank (external tank, wing tank, or belly tank) is used to describe auxiliary fuel tanks externally carried by aircraft. A drop tank is expendable and often jettisonable." 
Correct me if I am wrong, but this sentence is wrong. A drop tank is an external fuel tank that can be jettisoned. For example, MiG-29's centeline tank is an external fuel tank but not drop tank. Andraxxus (talk) 18:14, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Antipope Innocent III

message: This article is ambiguous, because of pronouns with ambiguous references, and ambiguous verbs.
Quoting 
"...Innocent III sprang from a noble Lombard family. Opponents of pope Alexander III tried to make him pope in September 1179. Alexander, however, bribed his partisans to give him up, and imprisoned him in the cloister of La Cava in January 1180..."
This leaves me totally confused.  Did Alexander bribe Innocent's partisans to betray Innocent?  Or did Alexander bribe his own partisans, to take extraordinary action, and capture Innocent?  Or, a third alternative, did Alexander bribe the partisans that had captured him, to release Alexander?  
It not clear whether the phrase "to give him up" means that Innocent was given up, or if Alexander was given up.  This ambiguity arises because "given up" could mean "released," as from captivity, or it could alternatively mean "betray".
Perhaps, as a native speaker of American English, I am reading too much into this passage.  However, I must point out that the passage is very confusing.

Talk:Helen Hope Montgomery Scott

message: The article seems to cover all the important parts of Helen Hope Montgomery Scott's life and generally well written so I've rated it B-class. The main issue with the article is that it lacks citations, and the article goes too much into other subjects. A whole paragraph describing Philadelphia society does not belong here.

Talk:Sketchbook (manga)

message: So, like, this page got reverted back to the Stone Age, and I got some messages about verifiability or something. I'm just an artless bumpkin from the Village Green Preservation Society, so I don't know so much about these computers and Newspeak and what-have-you.  I am not aware of any scholarly articles or academic studies dealing with this particular work.  I don't know what reputable, reliable, or printed source I could ever cite except for the strip itself.  If someone were to seriously challenge the assertion that Kurihara-senpai likes animals, I'll be honest, I have no idea how I'd verify my claim.
I have never seen any indication that anyone other than myself is even remotely interested in improving this article, since there has been essentially no new content added in the last year other than what I have contributed.  Until that impression changes, I will continue to regard this page as my project.  If others have their own ideas, then there seems to be a perfectly serviceable medium to express those right here.  I'm not really Hip to how things are done here in Wikipedialand, but I don't see the point in massive, unilaterally-decided deletions of perfectly uncontroversial information. --Nine Elms (talk) 06:27, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd suggest learning, then, if you are not "hip" to how Wikipedia works. First, this is not your article nor anyone else's. And while you may enjoy the series, that does not mean you can load this article and others with excessive plot and unsourced OR. The article was cleaned up to properly remove unsourced interpretations of the plot (called WP:OR), and undo inappropriate splits of a character and chapter list for a small, six-volume, barely (if at all) notable manga series (not comics, not strips, manga) that has only a bare stub for a main articles. Character and chapters lists are no de facto nor something anyone should make just by default. Show notability in the main article, add real-world context to the main, build it up. Then as appropriate, discuss and, with consensus, conduct splits. There are guidelines about the format and content of manga series articles at WP:MOS-AM, and WP:WAF covers general fictional writing. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 06:47, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Mount Ophir

message: Why is this mountain called "Mount Ophir" when the malay name "Gunung Ledang" probably exist earlier and is the currently most common version used in Malaysia? The National Park at the same location is named Gunung Ledang National Park and not Mount Ophir National Park. A movie based on the legends surrounding the mountain is titled (English) "The Princess of Mount Ledang". The malay name is also used by Singaporean and foreign climbers. I suggest that this article be renamed to Gunung Ledang or Mount Ledang. I prefer the malay name Gunung Ledang as the word "Gunung" means "mountain" in malay and the two words combined is a proper noun, c.f. Mont Blanc (French) and not Mount Blanc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.217.76.77 (talk • contribs) 01:57, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:New York State Route 72

message: This is all based on the resources that I have, thus there's room for clarification.
*Assigned in 1930 from Potsdam to north of Paul Smiths (roughly modern 11B and 458) - NYT renumbering map
**Pre-1930: part of 56 east of Nicholville, part or all of 2A west of Nicholville - 1926 rmcn
**1926: 56 was routed on what looks like Port Kent Road from Nicholville to St. Regis Falls
*By 1935: current 72 was designated 72A - 1935 rmcn
*By 1947: 72 redesignated as part of 11B west of Hopkinton and realigned to follow 72A to 56 south of Potsdam (overlapping 11B from Hopkinton to Nicholville) - 1947 SoNYDPW map
*1970s: 72 truncated (inexplicably IMHO) to Hopkinton, Nicholville-Port Smiths renumbered 458 - 1970 route log, 1977 GD
Questions:
*Did 2A overlap 56 north to Lawrenceville or did it end at Nicholville?
*After 2 was renumbered to US 11 in 1927, what became of 2A and 56? The Nicholsville-Lawrenceville segment of c.1926 56 is shown as "previously unnumbered" while c.1926 2A from Potsdam to Nicholsville is shown as "renumbered" on the 1930 NYT renumbering map, so was 56 rerouted in 1927 to follow 2A to Potsdam?
**In the 1930 ALA Greenbook (pre-renumbering), 56 is shown as running from Potsdam to Meacham Lake using modern 11B and 458. Presumably 56 was rerouted along old 2A.
*What was 72's alignment between Nicholville and St. Regis Falls immediately post-renumbering? From the looks of the NYT map, 72 followed the modern alignment of 458 but it's unclear. It was definitely on 458 by 1935.
**56 just prior to renumbering is exactly the same as 72 just after renumbering -- it's definitely 458 just after renumbering.
*Was 72A assigned in the renumbering or did it come later? --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 21:04, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
