replies: text:  The Norwegian language page on dog driving (Hundekjøring) mentions the sport of skijoring(Snørekjøring), as well as pulka driving.  I'm not sure what the best way to reference that article is, or if there is an appropriate way to reference other language articles on similar subjects.   Perhaps there will be a separate Norwegian article for Snørekjøring soon, which can be linked.  Heathera skidog (talk) 22:49, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

text: I am not convinced that the etymology of the word skijoring, as stated currently, is correct.  I found an article expressing an alternate opinion once. The article provided evidence that the term was coined in France from the word skieur.  Heathera skidog (talk) 22:49, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe someone could incorpporate the Norwegian wiki material into an article here.  There is a protocol of sorts on how to do so, somewhere in WP:CITE or related linked articles.  As for etymology, all I know is that we call it "skijoring" in the USA and between the spelling and its geographic popularity in the Upper Midwest and West, it is widely considered to be Scandanavian, not French, in origin.

message: In the short film "Snow Thrills", shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000 ep 311, it mentions "Skijoring" which Joel intentionally mispronounces as "She whoring" based on the short's announcer saying "ski" should be pronounced as "she." In response to Joel Tom says "Next on Sally Jessy Raphael ski joring." Is the MST deal worth a mention in the media section?--T. Anthony (talk) 00:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably not.  It's just trivia. WP:MOS tends to tag articles with that sort of thing. If it was a documentary about the sport or something, that might be different. Montanabw(talk) 00:26, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/The Frosties Kid

message: This is not intended to be read as Editorial Policy.
SOME EDITORS HAVE expressed concern about this article and have cited that such and such an article does not exist.  The non-existence of an article should never be used as an argument for deleting an existing article.
In AfD, a common phrase is "WIKIPEDIA is not a pen and paper encyclopedia." I have no qualms about repeating the sentence (albeit a very overused phrase).  WIKIPEDIA is forever expanding, it recreates itself second by second. It is not a closed book, and often deals with controversial news topics as they are happening in the world.
WIKIPEDIA has rules.  It does not rely on the judgment of a single editor alone.  As long as editors agree to keep to them, almost any article will stand.
An article, three lines long is not ideal. But its existence gives editors who respect the ideals of Wikpedia a chance to expand those three lines, providing sourcable infomation. The delete because its not going anywhere; delete because I haven't heard about it before; delete because I Googled it and it only had 45,500 hits mentality is difficult to understand.
Some Editors become bogged down with WP:MOS and WP:Notability rules.  Those rules exist because Wikipedia would become anarchic without them. However, Editors often forget that Wikipedia is not just about rules.  Wikipedia is about sharing informed, sourcable knowledge with the world beyond our desk top.
As per Mergers, I think that they should only happen when the information contradicts or overlaps a current article.  In terms of The Frosties Kid being merged with Frosted Flakes, I think that would be a wrong idea.  Frosted Flakes is a North American centric article.  It is heavily biased towards the North American marketing of the product.  The Frosties Kid is almost exclusively centred around the UK and Eire (A possible 70,000,000 viewers of the commercial).
Wikipedia expands second by second.  That is its very nature.  It lives because people contribute to it.  It lives because most Editors respect other editors.  They respect the time other editors  have taken to phrase and source articles.  Rather than push for deletes, they contribute and find helpful sources.  That is the nature of Wikipedia.   Mike33 20:02, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For the final time this article was put up for deletion because there was no room for expansion being that it was forced by some editors to be three lines long, AND due to the fact that those three lines did not correspond to the title or subject of the article. Thus with everything taken into account I found this article to serve no purpose other than be a waste of time and space. If someone would like to re-write it or start a new article be my guest!

It might be a better idea to split the aricle into the nine individual areas, and use the names given to them, like 'New Heartlands' and so on. I think that should be the next step, this article should be about the overall scheme of pathfinder/hmri

Talk:Khaybar Khaybar

message: I put in the following in a see also-section:
:"Kahane Was Right (This phrase or meme, which alludes to Meir Kahane's extremist views on Palestinians, has been painted in graffiti all over Jerusalem.)"
I did so because racist/anti-Semitic chants and slogans exist on both sides of the conflict. And it's equally disgusting when individuals/groups on either side resorts to this very dehumanising display of hatred. The essay Wikipedia:POV pushing states that "It is often necessary to examine a topic from more than one perspective. This is especially so with controversial topics, such as politics, morality, and religion." I thought my inclusion would provide for a more NPOV version, and hopefully also give a better overall picture. --Bergerons 20:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: There was a term applied from the 18th century

message: The article is rather vague about the location of the radio station, and it would be better if it were more precise, but is difficult to discover the truth.  A recent edit, which has been reverted as "unsourced", said "The station was situated on Trinity Hall Farm approximately 1km South West of Hockliffe village crossroads".  The Yates and King source says it was at "College Farm".  John Taylor, The Way We Were, "College Farm" actually talks about Trinity Hall Farm.  The reliable source by Stephan Coleman, Chalgrave, explains that College Farm and Trinity Hall Farm were separate places; College Farm to the east of Hockliffe and Trinity Hall to the south-east.

Talk:Teletouch

message: The Edsel article says that Edsel was the first and only Ford division to have a pushbutton transmission.  The 1957 Mercury had a pushbutton system also.  It was mechanical like Chrysler's not electrically actuated.  As evidence:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1957-Monarch-Mercury-Turnpike-Cruiser_W0QQitemZ220008068802QQihZ012QQcategoryZ6882QQcmdZViewItem
Randy Berger
   The Article states Chrysler Corporation originated the push-button transmission controls, and was the only company to offer it in 1956.  Packard introduced an electro-mechanically-shifted transmission called the Touchbutton Ultramatic in 1956, and it was very similar to Edsel's, having the selector buttons located on a pod hung off the right side of the steering column.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ultramaticpushbutton.jpg
   The Article also mentions that wiring inside the steering column twisted and frayed causing reliability problems.  In reality, the wiring inside the steering column did not move and was extremely reliable, since the pod containing the buttons did not turn with the wheel.  The electronic control current flowed through a set of slip rings and brush contacts, while the steering wheel motion was transmitted through a set of planetary gears to the steering gear input shaft.  Reliability problems were primarily related to the servo motor due to its hot, wet and dirty operating environment between the bell housing and the exhaust pipe just above the road surface, and the associated relays, switches, wiring and connectors.  Verification: International Edsel Club technical publication No. 2, "Master Parts Illustrations including a special section on Teletouch transmission controls", a Ford Motor Company authorized reproduction of original material dated 1960.  http://www.internationaledsel.com
Jere Gauss
There was another car which had buttons for shifting the automatic transmission on the dashboard. I want to say it was a Mercury, but I could be very wrong in that. I do know it existed because I drove one. Early 60s, perhaps very late 50s. If I come across it I'll return with the info.-- glenn hefley  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghefley (talk • contribs) 12:30, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Accident eye witnesses

message: I removed the Recent Death Tag from this gentleman's page more than a week after he died.  The tag warns us of "rapidly changing" information.  As I indicated in my edit summary, chances are that plenty of time had passed, that it was highly unlikely that anything new was going to be learned about the circumstances of his death.  And now, another week has passed (okay, 6 1/2 days), and nothing, absolutely nothing has been added.  It was completely predictable.  What has happened is that this article has now gotten a moldy appearance, made our encyclopedia look like a yellowing newspaper, and we look like a bunch of 21st century Millerites.  I see no purpose at all that was served by placing this tag, and I am mildly resentful that my removal of it was reverted.  Though I have been threatened with being blocked for doing so, I shall remove it again, in the interest of creating a more professional encyclopedia. Unschool 21:23, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I am in no way 'well informed ' on their activities or history, but am pretty certain that their show 'The Wayans Bros' did not air from 1853 onward; over 140 year run is good in any country, let alone the US! , and to pre date Televisions invention by 80 years!?

thread_title:  Incorrect Series Dates  

message: There's an uncited/unsourced section here over the supposed plot of the final episode. Even more suspect is that it mentions that Shawn was scouted by Tyra Banks to be the first male model in her show America's Next Top Model. The thing is, the Wayans Bros. ended in 1999 (when this last episode would have likely been drafted), while Top Model didn't start until 2003 (and wouldn't introduce male models until nearly a decade later).
This all leads me to believe that that entire section is fabricated, and should be removed from the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.88.107 (talk) 20:06, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
