Talk:Thallium(I) hydroxide

message: This is what I wrote for Thallium(I) Oxide:
Thallium oxide probably has no use. A quick search suggests it may be used in batteries. This is fairly unlikely on a large scale as elements of this weight tend to be rare and hence expensive. I also doubt this claim because to work properly in a battery the stable isotopes would need to be isolated. If they were not separated (which is very expensive) Pb and Hg would be formed.
The compound could also be used as a catalyst allthough I have not done any research into this. As a chemist I need to note that there are tens to hundreds of thousands of compounds with no use and no significance. It would be good is the article was larger but I think at this point in time it fair to accept that there is no significance and hence I will remove the tag. Hobo 09:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have put the tag back, the article lacks importance, and that is the function of the tag.  I there really is nothing encyclopedic to tell about the compound, consider an AfD.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cue sports/Notability

message: People who know my vociferously negative take on how Notability is being [ab]used in AfD and elsewhere, and my general siding with the camp that holds that Notability (at least as presently conceived) is doing as much harm as good and does not have as much consensus that its proponents claim, would probably be surprised that I created the first draft of this.  I think it's pretty comprehensive (perhaps too comprehensive, and certainly too wordy).  It also never says "notability" or "notable" once in it's text :-).  I'd like to see that feature, and the whole not-quite-notabillity approach retained (though I'm not willing to fight very much about it.  Heh.  If the ongoing raging disputes about notability eventually lead to more solid consensus and Notability becomes a better accepted Guideline or even a Policy, then what we have here (or rather what it'll be by then!) should probably be a really good ready-made official Guideline on this subject area.

Talk:SS-N-3 Shaddock

message: This article mixes 3 or 4 similar missiles. P-5 was (called SS-N-3c Shaddock in Western circles) cruise missile with nuclear warhead to threaten US coast, P-7 was it's longer ranged successor. Both were more or less unguided with CEP of about 3000 m.
P-6 (SS-N-3a Shaddock) was a radar-homing missile developed from P-5 to hit carriers. As far I've seen sources, it was used only from Juliett and Echo II onward. P-6 was used only in submarines, as surface ships used similar missile called P-35 Progress (SS-N-3b Shaddock). That was very much like SSC-1 'Sepal', that was ground based version of P-35.

message: I don't see how the first 2 disadvantages listed;
*Data may not be available to management for effectively planning and controlling the business.
*Lack of systematic and precise bookkeeping may lead to inefficient administration and reduced control over the affairs of the business.
...relate directly to the Single-entry system. Surely they are just an outcome of being "particularly slack", and both can occur if incorrectly implementing / using either double- or single-entry bookkeeping. In fact it could easily be argued that by using a simpler system, a small business will be able to get at useful data much faster than say handing it to an accountant to go off and work on to file a tax return 18 months later... The two lines I have listed also sound remarkably like the usual accounting firm "line" used to promote takeup of their services.

Talk:Cabinet (furniture)

message: Wikipedia should not be considered a resource for shoppers, nor for sellers, no matter what the topic. Instead, it is an encyclopedia of knowledge about subjects, not a guide on where to shop for them or a catalogue of what's for sale. Commercial spammers who parasitically link to Wikipedia entries are doing so only for commercial gain. Others might feel that their commercial links are doing readers a favor, and in some cases that might be true. But (1) a shoppers' guide to furniture, or (2) a manufacturer's online catalogue page, or (3) innocent-looking photos cleverly linked to manufacturers' websites are all only business-oriented marketing material and cannot in any way be considered encyclopedic knowledge. Please stop inserting all such commercially oriented links in Wikipedia.  Jack Bethune 10:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Naples, your page appears to be nothing more than a portfolio of jobs your firm has been connected with, which is commercial promotion at its most obvious. In addition, your cabinet firm owns the photos, and the name of your company is clearly identified in the ownership statement next to the photos. Furthermore, the Google and other links you provide are absolutely commercial spamlinks that connect with cabinetmakers' webpages, and therefore pure commercial promotion. Since your firm boasts online that its primary promotional strategy is to spread your name in as many directions as possible, hoping for commercial rewards in return, your efforts here on Wikipedia are not only apparent but against WP policy. Please refrain from linking your commerically oriented content and links in Wikipedia in the future.  Jack Bethune 20:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I disagree with the rationale for making this into a disambiguation page in the first place, and propose to de-disambiguate by reintroducing the removed text visible here, which states:
:In Urdu, a chowk is a place where paths intersect. Usually a chowk is named where four or more paths intersect. Some famous chowks of Pakistan include Kalmah Chowk and Laxshmi Chowk in Lahore and from India include the Chandni Chowk in Delhi, Chowk in Lucknow and Hutatma Chowk in Mumbai. In Mumbai however, even three paths are known as a chowk.In some parts of Pakistan and India, chowk refers to a roundabout build at the intersection of two perpendicular roads. This serves the purpose of bringing the entire traffic in a unidirectional flow and thereby preventing head-on collisions.It is common to see small marketplaces around the Chowk and is sometimes an important landmark in small towns.
It is apparent from the incoming links and the predominance of partial title matches on the page that Chowk does not refer to a specific place, but to a type of place, basically a town square. This is not really a disambiguation page so much as it is a list of chowks, and it should be denoted as such. Cheers! bd2412 T 18:10, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
