Talk:Urban Legend (film)

message: this is in need of a plot summary
:It really does.  The current "summary" is overly long, filled with grammatical errors and run-on sentences, and is confusingly constructed.  I will rewrite it myself when I get the time.  This assumes, of course, that it will still need work when I get to it.
::Wow, it really does. I imagine an incoherent and over-enthused 8th grader writing this, after having just watched the film, from how poorly it's written. Maybe I'll Netflix it over the weekend.

Talk:Orpah

message: The Oprah Winfrey article states that the midwife transposed the "r" and the "p" when writing the birth certificate.  This article states that the name was mispronounced so much that the parents decided to change it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cluster (talk • contribs) 12:58 April 16, 2006.
06/02/06  Confirmation of the dispute.  I just watched the Oprah Winfrey show and she said exactly as above.  The midwife mispelled "Orpah."—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.214.253.30 (talk • contribs) 17:01 June 2, 2006.
:Does Oprah Winfrey have to be mentioned here? Doesn't it make more sense to leave it only in her own article? -- Avi 14:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it makes sense to include it in both articles.  It's not like we are starved for room or something.  Orpah is related to Orpah, so both articles should be related to eachother.  Simple as that -- GIR 20:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

text: She is mentioned. The "trivia" you quote is contradicted by Oprah's own interview. See the Oprah Winfrey article where I cited both. Let's leave the link, and keep the cpntroversy where it belongs. Just because there is extra space doesn't mean we should fill it with very tangetial items. There is a link to the proper section in "See also", that should be sufficient. -- Avi 01:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bay Area (disambiguation)

message: I would like to rename this page to "Bay Area (disambiguation)" and redirect Bay Area to San Francisco Bay Area, with a Template:Redirect template at the top of the SFBA page pointing to the disambiguation page.  I believe the vast majority of users of the term Bay Area refer to the San Francisco Bay Area.  As evidence of this, of the 57 disambiguation links to Bay Area that I recently fixed, ALL of them were intended to point to the San Francisco Bay Area.  I admit to some bias, since I live in the SF Bay Area. Steve Pucci | talk 18:00, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur.  I did the other half of the Bay Area links and none of them went anywhere but San Francisco Bay Area. Metros232 12:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Steve Pucci | talk 15:09, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Note further that the Tampa Bay Area page, the only current alternative to San Francisco Bay Area, redirects to a page which lists three alternative names for that area, none of which are "Bay Area".  I'm not even sure this page is necessary. Steve Pucci | talk 15:16, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, that would be the official census name of the Tampa Bay Area.  Why that is titled as such I do not know, but I suppose it's because the SFBA has separate census areas? -- Jjjsixsix (talk|review)@ 03:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Template talk:Ethnic groups in China

message: User:Caiqian insists on using official government spellings for the ethnic groups on this list. It seems to me that what we want is for people who see the list to know what we're talking about when we see it. Therefore, it's a good idea for us to use common English names and spellings. Almost everyone knows what "Korean" means, but almost no one who doesn't speak Chinese knows what "Chaoxian" means. As an additional point, I disagree with Caiqian's argument that "The naming has been changed and standardanized, just like Peking to Beijing, Nanking to Nanjing in wikipedia". This is actually irrelevant: we use "Nanjing" and "Beijing" because these are now more common outside of Wikipedia; if Peking and Nanking were more common, we would use those instead. Moreover, those cities are things which exist entirely inside of the PRC, whereas the ethnic groups in question live in several countries, so there's no reason why one government should be able to change their name. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 18:00, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't quite understand why we would use them.—Nat Krause(Talk!) 22:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Paul Chambers

message: I thought at least an attempt at non-pov writing was the preferred approach here. This thing reads like a personal essay intended for a jazz magazine, not an encyclopedia. (Duke Ellington airport??? Come on now.
 There's also an incredible video clip on www.youtube.com.  Under "The Wynton Kelly Trio with John Coltrane".  Unbelievable, it's like re-discovering Paul Chambers.
The author leaves a lot of great bass players out. Certainly the list of names associated with the extended capabilities of the instrument simply must include Scott Lefaro and Gary Peacock, and lets not forget Charlie Mingus.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.121.71 (talk) 17:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Hello All, 
I noticed that this article has sections all over the place that I feel could be condensed or removed entirely. A lot of it seems out of the scope of a basic overview of Mr. Chambers to someone who isn't deeply interested in jazz. I also observed a lot of opinionated statements here that are un-encyclopedic.

Talk:Mary Fielding Smith

message: Mary has been the subject of articles, sermons, & books, with lots of material about her trip west.

replies: text:  Hey there! Thanks for the compliment. I removed the album ratings template by accident, feel free to add it again. I personally don't favor them, as they can grossly exaggerate the critical reception of an album. In addition, this album didn't have that many initial commercial reviews (aside from Rolling Stone), so I don't particularly see the need to have one. Thardin12 (talk) 20:09, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Blood Feast

message: Generally, we should be crediting the authors of reviews. Its better than just saying the publication wrote it, as these articles have authors. We should credit them, especially if its just an opinion piece. Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:45, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: If its the correct name, sure. Variety is a mainstream paper of the 1960s, not a fanzine, and used real names not one-word pseudonyms, if that even is what it is. "Tube." is not a name. It may not even be what was listed in the actual paper. It sounds like a typo error. Can you please show me where it says "Tube."? Otherwise we have to assume your source is incorrect.Greg Fasolino (talk) 20:45, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

text: I agree with Greg Fasoline that it seems unlikely Variety would run a review, then or now, under such a byline. Mackensen (talk) 00:37, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll provide a picture of it at home. Its not just my source, as if you spot older review from other publications of this era, this is generally how Variety credited people. You can even see it here in other sources. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:26, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I went and looked at the microfilm image too. It appears though that all of the reviewer credits have a "." at the end, as punctuation, not as part of the name. Perhaps the reviewer's name was John Tube or something. I think you need to remove the period for now, until a first name comes to light.Greg Fasolino (talk) 16:37, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I even tried to figure out the names on my own curiosity. Seems to be a bit lost to history, but I'm happy to remove the "." from Tube part. Honestly, its more frustrating that the book I got has no index page or even page numebrs. Just got flip through a 400 page book I guess. :)Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:40, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:The Leopard (1963 film)

message: The following paragraph – cut and pasted without any change from the end of the Production section – is incomprehensible in its present form, and several attempts so far to improve it have only made it worse (stereo-mentalized?). I have moved the paragraph and its very lengthy citation verbatim into this Quote template:Since I have no idea what point is being made, and Google Translate is not much help with the extended quotation in Italian, maybe someone who knows the subject very well can transform the paragraph into something meaningful and relevant to this article.

message: The languages utilized in the production are three: Burt Lancaster pretended English in the scenes when he played. The scenes based on Delon and Cardinale were played in French. The others scene were in Italian. We should remark that in 1963, Cardinale, an Italian and Tunisian citizen which until then had always lived in Tunisia, spoke a bad Italian.

thread_title: Character analysis

message: The article claims that at the end of the film, Vere is killed by falling debris. I have seen the film many times and I have never seen Vere killed. Is this a restored ending?

replies: text: Nope sorry, you're both wrong on that. While the rigging is not shown actually falling on Vere, he is most assuredly shown after it had fallen on and killed him with the deceased Post Captain's right arm and hand visible. (This shot appears 37 seconds before the end of the film at 2:02:25.) A screen shot of this can be viewed here in which the dead Capt. Vere can be clearly identified by the braid visible on his sleeve. I have thus restored the deleted language in the article so that it again reflects how Cap. Vere died.

thread_title: Ending

message: In the production section it is stated that "Melville's biographer accidentally stumbled upon" the lost novel "when going through a trunk of the writer's papers in his granddaughter's New Jersey home in 1919". It also states that Melville's widow worked to help complete it, however, in Melville's biographical data it states that she died in 1906. 
I assume this is an unintentional error based on a sequence of edits, and I don't know how to correct it. I assume that the widow helped complete the novel before or after her husband died in 1891, and the completed novel remained hidden until the biographer found it in 1919. To me it reads that she helped complete it after the biographer found it.Juve2000 (talk) 02:29, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

message: While recently expanding this article I noticed the fact that matrix-matrix multiplication can be used to perform all trials simultaneously. For large n, the matrix of 0/1 vectors would be tall and skinny, and so this would still be fast - while also yielding much better communication bandwidth than the version based on matrix-vector multiplication (due to higher computational intensity). I didn't add this because it's original research, but if a reference for this technique could be located, I think it would add to the article. Dcoetzee 16:22, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
