Talk:Longford (disambiguation)

message: I propose moving this page to Longford (disambiguation), and moving Longford Town to this page, with a link at top of page.
Other Irish counties have the county at "County Name", with any county town of the same name at "Name".
A link to the disambiguation page should be sufficient for other uses, Longford Ireland is likely the most common usage.

Talk:Plone (software)

message: What is the thought here for this section ? As far as I am concerned the CVE is a valid industry comparison of security breaches known to users. You cannot track the unknown. What you can track is the known. CVE table identifies this and relates fact. Fact is that some CMS's (and all software in general) either add ons or core have inherent higher risk associated to past historical coding issues and their architectural footprint in general. It would be misleading to not give this comparison, and dismiss the issue al together.

message: I strongly recommend the Opera browser. The different Wikipedia skins work and it's possible to zoom the size of the entire page (fonts and images both) up to 100's of times over if required. Opera can also emulate a text-only browser or a "nostalgia" browser (makes it look like the web ten years ago). Most useful of all, a magic wand system remembers to log you in automatically each session (if you tell it to) in a much more reliable way than IE browsers.

Talk:Formal disapproval

message: Cut or otherwise mangled:
*However, the UN Security Council, which technically has a veto power over military action, did not actually hold a formal vote on a new resolution authorizing it - France having signalled beforehand that it would veto. (cut text indicated here in bold)
*In this case, formal disapproval had the effect of causing the US and UK to act without UN cover, which had very serious diplomatic aftereffects. (entire sentence cut)
The first bullet point suggests that the UN organization has authority over the United States and other member states. This is a point of view that the current US administration disagrees with. So it can't be stated as a "fact" but only as the POV of whichever countries agree with it. Please list those countries which agree that the UN has the authority to veto ANY AND EVERY military action they may contemplate undertaking. (I guess it will be a very short list!)
The second bullet point asserts that the leaders of the 2003 invasion of Iraq had no "UN cover", which is strongly disputed by U.S. President Bush. In a major address shortly before the invasion, he cited several specific US Security Council resolutions which demanded that Saddam (a) purge Iraq of weapons of mass destruction and (b) prove that he has done so. --Uncle Ed 19:16, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Oghuz Turkic ethnic groups category should be added to the categories 

message: I’m suggesting a change and almost a total rewrite of the history category. When you read the history category you quickly realise this isn’t talking about the history of the Azerbaijanis but the history of the land of modern day Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan already has its own Wikipedia page where the history of the land is mentioned so also mentioning it in this page which is talking about the Azerbaijani ethnicity is wrong because the Turks of Azerbaijan didn’t enter the area until the 700-1000s. For example example mentioning the atabegs of Azerbaijan, Seljuks, the qizilbash and the role of Azerbaijanis in the Safavid, afsharid, and qajar empires would make much more sense then mentioning what people lived in the lands before, this is after all a Wikipedia page about the Azerbaijanis.

message: This article is not entirely accurate.  The payouts are often 10:1 on triples, and there are often other bets such as a field bet (as in craps), high/low bets, and even/odd bets.  Also, some gaming commissions do allow it, including even the NGC, I believe.  According to the Wizard of Odds, it was in Circus-Circus, and I believe it is at Foxwoods in Conneticut.  Also some online casinos, which are probably subject to someone.  I will improve if I get in the mood some time soon.

thread_title:  Opening comment 

message: Circa 1990, in British amusement arcades, there was a coin-op machine offering Chuck-a-Luck, although the dice weren't in the usual "birdcage" but were each in its own tube, and were "thrown" by being blown upwards (and tumbled in the process) by jets of air.  I think the stake was 10p, which would be about average for British AWP machines at that time.  Unfortunately I can't recall anything else about this machine, such as what it was called or who made it.  Perhaps if a citation can be found, this could be included in the article? — 188.29.7.229 (talk) 19:37, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Coin-op machine 

message: According to this article's history, the page describing these variants is owned and maintained by the editor who added the link to it; and a Google search I did for "chuck-a-luck" turned up plenty of pages for the game proper, but no evidence that these variants exist anywhere (on the web, at any rate) except that one page and this article.
Hence, per WP:SOAP and WP:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day, I've commented-out these parts of the article.  Anyone who can find one or more references to show that these variants are real, and not just violations of the second of those guidelines, is welcome to uncomment them (and add the references); however, if others agree with me that these games are original research and thus don't belong here, they should be deleted. — 188.29.7.229 (talk) 20:58, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:W. S. Gilbert

message: I think this article would benefit from an infobox. 
This would provide a quick, at-a-glance summary of W.S. Gilbert's key details, enhancing the reader's ability to grasp the essential facts and context of his life and work. 
It would also help standardise his article with other literary figures, facilitating comparison and improving navigation between related articles.
Given Gilbert's significance in the literary and theatrical fields, an infobox would contribute to a more informative and user-friendly Wikipedia experience.

replies: text: While sports and politician bios can benefit from infoboxes, as a Signpost report notes: "Infoboxes may be particularly unsuited to liberal arts fields when they repeat information already available in the lead section of the article, are misleading or oversimplify the topic for the reader". I disagree with including an infobox in this article, in particular, because: (1) The box would emphasize less important factoids, stripped of context and lacking nuance, whereas the WP:LEAD section emphasizes and contextualizes the most important facts about Gilbert. (2) As the information that would be in the box is already discussed in the article and is also seen in a Google Knowledge Graph, the box would display a redundant 3rd (or likely 4th) mention of these facts. (3) Updates are often made to articles but not reflected in the box (or vice versa). (4) Instead of focusing on the content of the article, my experience is that editors will spend time arguing over what to include in the box. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:14, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

text: I'm not convinced by IBs in liberal arts biographies, and I'm not sure one here would be an improvement. There is certainly no guideline or policy that suggests standardisation is required or beneficial, and an IB wouldn't improve navigation at all. The relevant links between articles are already present once or twice in the article.
