Talk:Seagaia Ocean Dome

Talk:Gradual Psalms

message: The redirection to "Gradual" is somewhat inaccurate.  Most commonly, "gradual psalms" is used to refer collectively to Psalms 120-134, the "songs of ascents."
I propose that the disambiguation page be recast to express this meaning, with a pointer provided to "gradual" to distinguish the liturgical meaning.

thread_title:  Kangyur = Kantyua? 

message: On the page it says 
 
Traditional Chinese	甘珠爾
Simplified Chinese	甘珠尔
Literal meaning	Translation of the Word
Now "Translation of the Word" may very well be the translation of "Literal meaning," or it may be its literal meaning.  It is not, however, a translation of 甘珠爾.
The translation of those three words, i.e. their literal meaning, would be "sweet, pearl, thus."  
 
Now somebody may at some point have been expressing the thought "Thus, aren't these sweet pearls?" or something of the sort.  A figurative meaning of this might be "How wonderful, this meaning..."  and so one might get somewhere near the region of something being translated into something else.  Here I am rather stretching, I think, to give whoever wrote this some benefit of a doubt...

Talk:Cut square (philately)

message: Cut-out (philately) and Cut to shape ought to be merged into Cut square (philately). "Cut-out" is a synonym of "cut square", and "cut to shape" is a kind of "cut square". Plus, "cut-out" is essentially a stub (although not marked as such), and all three articles are, overall, small, so nothing would be lost with having them all in one article. Faunas (talk) 15:58, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I disagree with your proposal though some consolidation is worth considering. Cut-out (philately) should be the main article especially when Cut to shape and Cut square (philately) are just different types of cut-out. You could hardly call this 4 anna Indian indicia (shown on the right) a cut square. So let's merge everything into Cut-out (philately) and make the others redirects. Cut-square is rather a misnomer because many such stamps are not actually square; of the 7 items shown 3 are not square.ww2censor (talk) 13:33, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Merge seems like a good idea, although in my experience "cut-out" is the least-used phrase, despite being a broader term.  Not the first time the awkward one got to be the article title, ha ha. Stan (talk) 17:00, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Philatelic cover

message: I have made changes to this article, but my edits are immediatly reverted by the person adding the contested information. I had clearly explained my edits in the summary so that the reason for change was obvious.
My edits include...
*Removing comment - It should be noted however that mail sent by stamp collectors is no less a genuine article of postage than is mail sent with no concern of seeing the mailed item again. - which is a purely subjective point of view and is not factual information.
*Removing comment - While many philatelists prefer genuine commercial covers to philatelically contrived covers, philatelic covers may still be acceptable in collections of countries and eras where few other covers exist. Whether the cover was contrived or not, it is still an item of mail sent through the same postal system as other covers from a given country, with a postage stamp(s) and postmark, and is often more historically significant than covers set with no intention of recovery. - also a subjective point of view and not factual information.
*Removing a Wikipedia article used as a reference, and replacing it with a ((fact)) tag.
All these edits have been twice reverted by user Gwillhickers.  I have issued a 3RR warning, (which ironically he has also tried to give me) but will wait for consensus from other editors before trying to edit again.  There is also the issue of too much detail on Zeppelin mail and First Flight Mail; info that does not specifically address the article, and much of it is personal point of view and original research.--Dmol (talk) 20:56, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "repeatedly"?? You have made four deletions within a 24 hour period. Also, research is not original.  The page is still under development, so it may appear to some individuals that there is a disproportionate amount of material on Zeppelin mail. Further, as is clearly evident in edit history, I have only made two restorations to your edits/deletions, not three. Please do not abuse warning tags in the future.  Gwillhickers 21:05, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, the statement "mail sent by stamp collectors is no less a genuine article of postage than is mail sent with no concern of seeing the mailed item again", is a fact.  The statement "While many philatelists prefer genuine commercial covers to philatelically contrived covers..." is another fact, and if you think it needs a cite, than I will provide one.

Wikipedia talk:Schools/Archive 2

message: Now that we have an alternative proposal, how 'bout we have the two alternatives WP:SCHOOLS and WP:SCHOOLS3 offered to the masses for a face off and see which one wins a majority as a consensus guideline. Given the narrow group that has worked on Schools3, it has far less credibility than the original, regardless of the failure of the original proposal to reach agreement. Several of the criteria have been worded so narrowly -- especially the unintelligible criterion 5 re alumni and efforts to sharply restrict the general Wikipedia standards on non-trivial coverage in criterion 1, combined with complete removal of a number of the WP:SCHOOLS criteria -- that this proposal may be unlikely to win over any of the supporters of the original WP:SCHOOLS, without gaining the full support of those opposed to it.

Talk:Biologism

message: I strongly recommend to write an article on biologism, and therefore NOT TO DELETE this entry.
The fact is, "biologism" is redirected to "biological determinism", which is a conceptual error highly biased by ideological issues. In no way the two terms are to be identified.
I have written something on biologism for a conference; I'd be delighted to share it with you, but the fact is that it's in Spanish. Does anyone want to translate it or to use it for an English article?
Biologism, that is the use of biological explanations in the social sciences and psychology, is an important issue which should be defended and discussed.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

This usually ends up being User:CJLL Wright, who is one of the WP:Meso project's go-to guys, an admin, and very active within the project.  Questions/concerns about a rating should, I guess, be brought up on the article's dicussion page or, if the article is new (or about a less-common topic), it can be discussed here, as I think more project members are "watching" this page.
