Talk:List of Canadian islands by area

message: I've added NASA Blue Marble satellite composite images to the following articles (the top islands which didn't already have an overall satellite photo):
# Bathurst Island 
# Somerset Island and Fort Ross
# Vancouver Island
# Prince of Wales Island, Nunavut
# Southampton Island
# Melville Island, Canada
# Axel Heiberg Island
# Devon Island
# Banks Island
# Ellesmere Island 
# Victoria Island (Canada)
I'd like to add ones to the remaining islands listed here, but the Blue Pearl data isn't very detailed, and so for the smaller islands one either gets a uselessly grainly image or one has to show progressively more of the neighbourhood and less of the island itself.  I might be able to find Landsat imagery (which is much more detailed) but its server is broken today.  Comments and suggestions as to these images are most welcome. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 16:31, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Autonomism

message: Until 1947 Agis Stinas was for sure a trotskist prominent executive. That we can say today a bureaucrat of a party. In Civil War of Greece he did nothing, and was hiding in a house. After the civil war he went in his 50+'s in his small village in Corfu. When and how he was with autonomism? What year? I think the only source that we have about this claim, is in his memoirs, that in his 80 years old claimed that he was stand with autonomism from 1947(!!!!)in his...heart. But whoelse claims that? Ok maybe we can find something that he wrote (from his village) as a 70years old that was saying something about his prominent ex-comrade Kastoriades. But nothting more. I think we must delete this section. Autonomy is -i think- an Italian/French made theroy of sixties. In Greece of Stinas, there were leninist parties with Democratic centralism. Greeks didn't invent everything. I am sorry. Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 15:27, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

message: The ostensibly most credible documentation here that the term "rockism" can be traced to Wylie--a supposed statement in Melody Maker--is actually not backed up by the footnote at the end of that sentence (which does not lead to an article in or about Melody Maker, and which presumably is meant only to document other assertions of the sentence in question). Is there definite evidence that Wylie coined it, or should the assertion be removed? (A 2006 article in the Guardian, cited in the Rockism article on Wikipedia, refers to Wylie's use of the term but does not seem to document, or even assert, that he was necessarily the first.)

message: There is a citation needed flag at the end of the second paragraph of the Wah! section.  This refers to John Peel declaring the song to be single of the year.  There is a YouTube clip of a TOTP rundown with Peely describing the song as "record of the year" - about 12-15 seconds in (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx-o_zNyXIo).
This would seem to meet the need for a citation, but my very basic Wikipedia editing skills are well below what seems to be required to sort this out.  Trying to understand what to do from the Wikipedia help pages is a truly bewildering experience, and quite possibly a reason why editors like me never progress to more useful work than typos and grammar.

Talk:Maybe (Emma Bunton song)

message: The music seems a copy of the song "Acqua e sapone" ("Water and soap") of the Italian group "Stadio".
Error in summary.
The following is a misstatement in the summary: "The song contains Motown influences, and actually originated from the style and sound of The Aloof's "Rich Man's Frug"."
The video is an homage to the "Rich Man's Frug" dance number in the Bob Fosse musical/film, "Sweet Charity". The Frug has three sequences -- The Aloof, The Knockout (or something like that), and The Big Finale. The choreography in "Maybe" borrows from all three sequences.
Back to the song itself and its musical influences, I hear Motown and 60's London pop. Most definitely it's not a band named "The Aloof". Perhaps the author meant the Sweet Charity sequence. In any case, the 'origin' of the song should be attributable with a source.69.152.92.196 (talk) 01:01, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
