Talk:Radio Active (radio series)

message: I don't think KYTV is a pun on Sky TV. US TV stations mostly start with K; the KY probably refers to KY jelly. DJ Clayworth
On closer inspection I think I may be wrong on the above. DJ Clayworth
::It says in the first episode about wanting to call it after Sir Kenneth Yellowhammer, and then shows a graphics of KYS TV.  
:::The name KY TV was DEFINITELY meant as a parody of Sky TV. The KY TV logo was virtually identical to Sky's logo at the time (bold capital letters inside a thick circle). Also, it's a British programme making fun of a British satellite service, so US TV station names would be irrelevant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.146.46.247 (talk) 16:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Support. It has become pretty colloquially known as "Western", so the suggested makes sense. As well, much like the Stanford University wiki, Wikipedia entries do not necessarily go by the full 'official' or 'proper' title (see Wikipedia:Official names) User:R.schneider101 22:49, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose. It was already known as "Western" long before this marketing tactic. I think we've indulged them enough by mentioning the branded name in the text. Adam Bishop (talk) 22:53, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It was in western Ontario when it was founded in 1878, since most of what is now northern Ontario was still part of the Northwest Territories.

Talk:List of state leaders in 1957

message: I like this page; its a good prototype. However, we should try to coordinate the formats, as we have different ones for this page, the 2003 page, and the 1816 page (those are the 3 complete (or mostly complete) ones to date). The 2003 page has the entires organized in different geographical groups, which isnt absolutely necessary, but can be helpful especially for earler years with more unfamiliar entries (the German states spread across the 1816 article, for example, should be grouped together). However, that page also has a separate group for non-heads of state, which i think should be incorporated in to the others (the whole reason, I thought, for changing "heads of state" to "incumbents"). This page does that well. The other thing I would suggest is turn the titles into links, where possible. It could be helpful if  in the UK entry "Prime Minister" linked to the article for British Prime Ministrers. This would be especially helpful for more confusing entries, like the USSR; many people would want to know what the difference is between the First Secretary and the two chairmen. Links to those titles would help. Theres a separate discussion page at Talk:Incumbents by year. Thats my 2 cents. -R. fiend
I agree with most of your thoughts.  I was basically trying to follow the 2003 model, but without the regionalizing or the international organizations.  I do agree about the German states - perhaps they should go as subsets of Germanic Confederation - Franz I of Austria, President of the Germanic Confederation (1815-1835). I agree that links are good - I just wasn't sure which links had articles, or where the articles would be, so I was just trying to finish the whole business. john 04:12, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Erich von Stroheim

message: Renoir was exaggerating a bit about Stroheim's lost ability to speak his native tongue. In his only german production "Alraune", made in 1952, he can be seen talking perfectly. His Viennese accent is very heavy though and indeed has a decidedly lower/middle class tinge, as Wilder has pointed out.Wilutzky 06:06, 11th March 2009 (CEST)  —Preceding undated comment added 05:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Felled by a stroke? 

message: I have an 1978 encyclopedia called "Out of this World" that describes the last year of Erich von Stroheim's life as a kind of real life Sunset Boulevard with the fact that he was effectively broke being hidden from him by Denise Vernac.  To pay the staff of butler, cook, two maids, and a gardener Denise Vernac had to sell Erich's Cadillac but the buyer allowed it to remain on the property to preserve the illusion of Erich still being well off.  The article ends with the statement that the very day Erich died the Cadillac was collected and staff paid off and Erich's final expensive 'set' was stuck.
I was wondering if there were any supporting evidence for this or if it was a kind of life imitates art psudohistory that tends to crop up around stars and directors.--BruceGrubb (talk) 11:34, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Interesting, but is this better suited to Wiktionary? --Robert Merkel 02:57, 12 Aug 2003 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This page is a mere dictionary definition (something which Wikipedia is not).  It explains the meaning, etymology and pronunciation of a slang phrase and has some comments and examples on the usage of the phrase.  Nothing here rises past what I would expect to read in a truly great unabridged dictionary.  The definitions and usage discussions belong over in Wiktionary where folks with the right skills, interests and lexical tools can more easily sort out the meanings and origins.
Options to fix the page here include:
# Expand the page with encyclopedic content - that is, content that goes well beyond the merely lexical.
# Redirect the page to a more general page on the appropriate sub-genre of slang.
# Replace the current contents with a soft-redirect to Wiktionary (usually done using the  template).
Pending a better answer, I'm implementing option 3 for now.  Rossami (talk) 03:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Armed Forces Medical College

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.  This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags.  No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 22:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Lactose intolerance

message: In the terminology section: “ "Lactose malabsorption" refers to the physiological concomitant of lactase deficiency (i.e., the body does not have sufficient lactase capacity to digest the amount of lactose ingested).”, shouldn’t “maldigestion” be added; i.e. : “ "Lactose malabsorption" or “lactose maldigestion” refer to the physiological concomitant of lactase deficiency…”. Lactose is not directly absorbed; it is first digested into glucose and galactose, that are then absorbed.
Lactose intolerance is due to lactose “maldigestion” into glucose and galactose, not to lactose “malabsorption”.
For example, it is correct to say “fructose malabsorption”, or “glucose-galactose malabsorption”, but somehow incorrect to say “lactose malabsorption”.
Lactose "maldigestion" and "malabsorption" are both used in literature ("malabsorption" being more common…)Gregopim (talk) 16:30, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: I chose the current infobox photo because that's the only one that I can find in wikicommons and it has not been used in any articles; besides the Senoi guard photo which has already been used in various articles. I thought it is best to look for sources that specifically mentions the Senoi for reference sake. I've also searched for public domain / no restrictions photos in websites like flickr and found none. Unless if you have a photo of the Senoi people that you would like to contribute to the wikicommons, then it would be great. -Jeblat (talk) 03:41, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

text: Yes, you can use the same photo twice, especially when there is only one photo available on the subject matter in wikicommons. There is also no rule stating that it is not allowed to reuse a photo on different articles. However, whether it is okay to use a Semai photo as Senoi in this article is not entirely for me to decide and is best to also let others to decide/discuss on it here and then go with the majority. In the mean time, I will put a "request image" tag here. Other possible options would be getting the existing photo cropped with the permission of the owner. -Jeblat (talk) 09:55, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Rebol

message: I removed this, and the change was reverted. REBOL has a few features of functional programming languages, as does Perl. And Lua. And even C++ now has lambdas. But does that mean they're functional programming languages? No. REBOL at its core is highly imperative, as are the other languages I listed. Dgpop (talk) 02:28, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: "REBOL has a few features of functional programming languages, as does Perl. And Lua. And even C++ now has lambdas." - Rebol is neither like Perl, nor like Lua or C++.

message: I do agree with the usefulness of copy editing. Having said that, I strongly disagree with the "information noise" created by the "copy edit" tag.

Whether that should be explicitly stated in the article making unnecessary noise is a different question, however.
