message: No idea why Vox Humana 8' removed the proposed discussion, but please can we not rename this page again without some discussion actually taking place.
Because of the edit history I couldn't revert the dysfunctional and undiscussed new name to what it was before, but have gone as close as I could (the difference is "St Chad's " vs "St. Chad's". HeartofaDog 23:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Renaming 

message: * Can we have a reference to the story of the bones and their various travels? Because the story is longish and no doubt all comes from a single source, rather than putting in a ref after every sentence, it's best to state "According to blah-de-blah ....." and then just have a single reference for the whole tale, unless this info has been collected from a couple of sources.
*If the bones were divided into two packages, is there any evidence of what happened to the other package, or were they reunited? Who did the stray bone belong to? (I ask out of curiosity, rather than as a suggestion that this should be part of the history.) 
* There are a couple of other points, such as the carbon dating that need citation. 
* A photo of the interior, of the altar or of a stained glass window by Hardman would be a veryy niice asset.

replies: text: No, that isn't enough verification.  We'd need to see multiple uses of the term in a public context, rather than fandom. A good example would be if the term appeared in newspaper headlines, with the obvious expectation that the reader would understand POA to mean "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" without further hints. --Tony Sidaway 17:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|Verifiability]]

message: Melsaran has reverted the removal of an entry for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, saying "where does WP:V say "all abbreviations listed on disambiguation pages must have been used in the mainstream press"? disambigs exist for convenience, they aren't actual article content."
Verifiability applies to all main space content.  It's important here because for any three letter alphabetic sequence there are hundreds, probably thousands of book titles that contain that sequence as the letters beginning the words, there are probably dozens more people, companies and products that also satisfy that qualification.  We should not list all those titles, only those that are widely known by the three-letter abbreviation.
And finally it does not serve convenience at all if we list items that are not widely known by their letters, because listing them all willy nilly, without reference to whether the letters are verifiably used, obscures the few that are.  The more clutter a disambiguation page contains, the less use it is.
On this specific case, I only see fan sites and the like, which understandably adopt abbreviations for subjects that are commonly discussed in the context of fandom.  PoA has not, however, entered the mainstream as an abbreviation for that novel. --Tony Sidaway 17:03, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

message: There are local train services on four lines around Trondheim, not only two. I addition to local train services to and from Steinkjer and Røros you have a morning train from Oppdal and trains to and from Storlien in Sweden that are also called local trains. I think the issue is confused by the fact that the Norwegian term "Trønderbanen" i usually used to refer only to two former, so the latter two are forgotten. I'm not sure how we should fix this, since the Norwegian article is called "Trønderbanen", but it should be fixed. -- Nidator T / C 12:09, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

message: I have merged and expanded this page, starting from the following 4 pages     guiltyspark 11:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

message: What is the definitive source for the correct names of the "woman clothed in/with sun" paintings? Yes, many Internet sites attempt to distinguish between the two by calling the rear-view version at the Brooklyn Museum "woman clothed in sun", while calling the front-view version at the National Gallery "woman clothed with the sun". But the websites of both museums each call their respective piece "woman clothed with the sun." ,  Where does the "in sun" name come from, originally? Mike R (talk) 14:31, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, the "in" painting is described by the William Blake Archive as with the Sun  and the "with" painting as with the Sun: "The Devil is Come Down" . The "in Sun" name seems to be unsubstantiated. Hansh (talk) 01:42, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correct Names 

message: I'm vaguely worried about the classification of these paintings as "The Great Red Dragon Paintings". Nowhere in Blake scholarship (ie Butlin's catalog of paintings and drawings) are these classified as a group: rather they are part of Blake's biblical illustrations for Thomas Butts.

Talk:Phil Towle

message: This article reads more like a website bio for Towle than an encyclopedia entry. Since he is only known due to his involvement with Metallica, I propose that the articles be merged. DuckLionDog 13:03, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: Towle is also notable for his work with the St Louis Rams prior to their Super Bowl championship (2000) about which head coach Dick Vermeil has spoken glowingly. His professional training includes a fellowship at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka. Though he is portrayed as celebrity shrink with questionable methods, there is more substance to his work that deserves interest. His work is pertinent to the history of the burgeoning field of consulting psychology -- he could be viewed as a pioneer or a maverick, in either case it deserves attention. In 2005 he was the invited keynote speaker at the annual Symposium of the International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations. 
Agreed that the article as it stands is thinly written and poorly attributed, but it's not a one-sided promo. I was hoping to improve on the scope of the article. It will be seen that he's notable beyond the context of the Metallica work.

Talk:Free State of Lippe

message: I propose to

Currently there is no article about the state of Lippe, but two about two different historic periods of it, one of those being a stub. There should be one article about the state as such, and I don't see enough content to have main articles about historic periods.
Furthermore the article with simply "Lippe" should be about the state, not the district. --Caballito (talk) 14:18, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
