message: Ramin Djawadi is NOT German-Iranian, he is German because he was born in Germany !
Just because his father is Iranian does not mean he is Iranian too ! Obama's father is from Kenya , do we say Barak Obama is American-Kenyan ? no we dont !
Also Ramin never say anything about being Iranian in his personal website : 
http://www.ramindjawadi.com/bio/Bio.html
then why are people calling him German-Iranian ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.12.243.98 (talk) 16:54, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: He is not German-Iranian - he is German

message: Coming here to learn more about the Game of Thrones intro composer, it appears this page is somehow out of date. 
It only mentions Game of Thrones in passing, despite how a web search for Mr Djawadi only turns up Game of Thrones related pages on the first few pages (obviously apart from general pages, such as this article, IMDB and so on).
Looking further, I notice how the lead in sentence, "Djawadi is best known for his Grammy-nominated, guitar-driven scores..." is lifted straight out of ramindjawadi dot com (listed as the official web site). (With no attribution, but that's another matter)
However, neither this web page nor the "About" section of his Facebook account even mentions Game of Thrones!
This leads me to believe this page is either out of date, or too heavily based on a primary source, or both. 
Therefore let me make a pass at rewriting the lead, including contemporary sources. Thanks, CapnZapp (talk) 08:49, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Update to "best known for" 

message: Can we clear his nationality up once and for all? I'm getting tired of reversing edits that identify him as "German-Iranian" or "Iranian-German." Now, I've pointed out many times that just because he has a former-Iranian for a father, doesn't mean he has any ties to Iran. 
A) He was born in Germany.
B) He was raised in Germany.
C) He has never visited Iran once.
This makes him a German. We can still mention that he has a father of Iranian origin in other sections, but we are looking for nationality following his birth date, not origins.

message: Although the writer asked for an assesment on the WikiNovels project page, this isn't going to happen because the book isn't a novel. However, as I do appreciate the intention of asking for feedback, I have some comments on how to improve this article
* add an infobox
* separate events from writer's opinion, this would allow for a shorter (and more readable) synopsis, and put the writer's opinions under a separate heading.
* several abbreviations will not be understood by non-Americans (GI, LZ, R and R centre, ROTC). In general, abbreviations should be avoided.

Talk:Power transmission

message: So the movement of energy from one place to another can't be named power transmission. Maybe energy transfer. Also, power being energy rate, is not transmissable. The result of energy transformation at a certain rate (force or heat for example) can be transmitted. Also, power being synonymous with force in common languages, should be renamed to ENERGY RATE.

text: Oppose Using nationality for one and not the others isn't uniform.

message: Removed the following claim:  "However one study of impalas found that impalas which were used by oxpeckers spent less time grooming themselves suggesting a reduction in parasite load."
The study didn't show that they spent less time grooming themselves. It observed that oxpeckers fed on ticks in areas that the impalas could not reach, where consequently the ticks were thick, and argued that oxpeckers were therefore important to tick control.  Further, the presumable source of this statement () discounts the study, saying that it shows only that impalas are more effective at removing their own ticks than oxpeckers since areas that could be groomed were not so heavily infested.

Talk:Turnpike (software)

message: Turnpike has a substantial user base, and is a well-designed and well-implemented package.
My guesstimate is that there are at least 50,000 Turnpike users, the great majority of them in the UK. (The ISP Demon a few years ago had over 200,000 customers, and a conservative estimate would be that 25% of them use Turnpike.) Looking at the "User-Agent" headers of articles posted to Usenet newsgroups, and particularly those within the uk.* hierarchy, will show that many newsgroup posters use it.
Thus the number of people interested in the article will be substantial. Many other specialised articles on Wiki will be of interest to fewer people that that.
I have no connection with Turnpike other than as a satisfied user.

Talk:Cox's sandpiper

message: This article failed the GA noms due to lack of inline citations. I would also suggest adding an infobox to the article. Tarret 20:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Failed GA

message: After thorough review, I have decided to fail this article for the following reasons:
1. The writing is often confusing, as noted by the banner still present in the article.  Before I would pass this article, this banner would have to be removed and all "clarify" notations would also need to be addressed.  I feel as though this article presumes too much knowledge of ornithology on the part of the reader.  The description of the bird's appearance is very confusing, especially without a photograph for reference.  Other parts of the writing are difficult to follow, for example: "Juvenile Cox's Sandpipers are known from only two individuals, one from Massachusetts (Grant, 1987; [5] Kasprzyk et. al., 1987; [6] Vickery et. al., 1987, [7] and Buckley, 1988). [2] and one from Japan".  When I first read this sentence, I had trouble deciding whether the "individuals" were sandpipers or the people who discovered the juveniles.
2.  This article has instances of deviation from the Wikipedia Manual of Style.  For example, ampersands are not appropriate in subject headings.  Another example: why are there quotation marks around Cooper's Sandpiper in that heading, when none appear in the text?  This seems to be explained above, but this large heading shouldn't be confusing to the reader who only reads that paragraph.  Furthermore, citations are required only when they are necessary; this statement: "in 1982, Shane Parker formally described the bird as a new species (Parker 1982)." is redundant.  Omit the parenthetical reference, and simply use the superscript link to the reference listed at the end of the article.  I would also recommend a thorough use of Wikilinks, which seem to be used sparingly thoughout the article.
3.  Certain parts of the article are stubs.  "Pattern of records in Australia" for example, is too short to deserve its own subheading.  This makes it look as though the article is being stretched to fill space, without adequately addressing the information.
4.  I feel as though this article isn't broad enough in its coverage.  After reading this article, I wondered why I should care about this hybrid bird, and why it mattered.  I also feel as though the lack of any section on its behavior or inter-species interactions is problematic.
5.  The lack of any images at all is unfortunate, and while not grounds alone for failure, with the other concerns listed above, it weighs heavily.
I commend the efforts by the editors on this article, and I encourage them to continue to improve it and renominate it for good article status in the future.  Cheers!  Chuchunezumi 06:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
