Talk:Mike Larkan

message: Does anyone know for sure that he actually is a meteorolgist? I ask because no degree is mentioned on the channel ten website.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.108.40.229 (talk) 07:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have removed the line. No evidence has been produced that Larkan has meteorological qualifications. As mentioned above, it is implausible that the network would exclude such a detail from his profile on their website, given that having qualifications is relevant to his present position and would ostensibly establish Larkan's credibility. If any editor can produce evidence suggesting that he is in any way qualified, then the deleted statements can be reinstated. Cyril Washbrook (talk) 01:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

* check the facts and provide references
* provide more information about album sales and awards
* make complete discography

Also, what does the following mean in the original Indonesian Wikipedia article at http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewa_19

Talk:Iran–Pakistan gas pipeline

message: I propose to rename this article to "Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline" just to follow same practice used by other articles about planned pipelines (e.g. Nabucco pipeline, Trans-Afghanistan Pipelien, Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline etc) and to make a link from a new page "Indo-Iran pipeline" like that pipeline has widely called.Beagel 19:17, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The current pipeline projects only entails the involvement of Iran and Pakistan.  Possibly, China may join but this is not confirmed as of yet however india is officially out of the project after American pressure on that country and the subsequent signing of the nuclear deal.  With this in mind, the article should be re-written and re-titled as merely the Iran-Pakistan pipeline as these are the two countries currently working on it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.32.116.64 (talk) 06:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:ABU Garcia

message: As far as I remember the company was not referred to as ABU-Garcia before well into the 1980s. I seem to recall that that the namechange came about as the result of a merger with another company. PerDaniel 19:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The way the article is written, while it is not a referenced article yet, does not appear to me to be PR or trade puffery.  It's a history of the company, previously Abu Svängsta, now Garcia, that is a genuinely world renowned manufacturer of fishing rods, reels, lures etc.
The right editor can pull whatever freferences are needed from these Ghits, with reference to WP:RS.
The company is notable and verifiable, but that is not asserted yet in the article.  With good fortune someone will pick this particular task up and hammer it into some shape.
I've added a couple of banners to replace the prod.  I suppose it's alwasy posisble that we see this at AfD, but I would prefer to think that improvement is the route instead of deletion.

Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-09-25/In the news

message: This should be clarified. Sanger is claiming 160 users for the mailing list, not the encyclopedia itself, which of course doesn't exist yet. The mailing list archives show about forty different contributors to the list so far. (A number of those contributors are Wikipedians.) This would suggest that the actual encyclopedia, when it gets going, will not be drawing thousands or even hundreds of contributors, at least initially.
I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about the project. As Wikipedia arbcom member Fred Bauder and others have already pointed out, any good, substantial edits that people make on Citizendium can (and probably will) be copied right back to Wikipedia. That would tend to make the project superfluous, but we'll see. Casey Abell 19:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The criticisms made above still apply: this article is not helpful to the new reader, even one like me who understands cricket and so should have a head start; there are no inline citations (eg: where is the source for the India-Pakistan matches?) and the wikifying at times seems almost random: why is "stick" wikilinked, for example? There are also vague unreferenced statements ("It is possible that this game was brought from Europe during the time of Alexander or British") and also ones which are impossible to make sense of ("many people believe that cricket originated from gilli-danda").

thread_title: Cleanup tag

message: The use of the red flag in 2020 protests wasn’t in anyway trying to disrespect the flag or the people who fought under it except it was the opposite, it was flown for the Anzacs who fought for the freedom we have just to be suppressed by todays government.
to whoever flew the flag upside down ether didn’t know what it mean or the significance of what it means,
but also it could have been meaning a sign of distress.
but in my opinion it should have not been flown upside down and the police are right in saying it’s disrespectful.

He did live there, yes, but he'd only moved there 10 years prior, and was born and lived in England until he was 29. 'of Launceston, Tasmania' is a bit ambiguous then, in that it could be taken to implicitly describe his national origin.

Talk:Antirom

message: The article mentions that the group's "most notable" creation was the Antirom CD-Rom.  However, aside from a snapshot, it does not at all describe what the CD-Rom actually was or did or looked like.  A more detailed description would greatly help readers unfamiliar with to understand what exactly it was and why it was "notable".  Along those lines, a sentence or two quoting independent critics regarding the CD-Rom would aid in verifying that it was, indeed, a notable object. Dugwiki 20:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

The poses and body shape are almost identical, but some features are slightly different; the nymph in The Nymphaeum is just slightly thinner, and her face is a little different, probably a result from being cast in shadow.
