message: I propose moving most of the insurection part of the article to the main article, Pugachev's Rebellion, and having a referring link. Thoughts? David Fuchs 22:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pugachev | Pugachev's Rebellion

thread_title:  Whaa? 

message: So, anyone want to take a stab at it?  I think it's well written, but possibly needs better citation.  I'm not saying any of it is incorrect, because I don't know if it is, but, I think there could be better citation all around.  I know the information is out there, it's just not my specialty.--Vidkun 14:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Date of Execution 

message: This article begins by giving the Russian form of the name with the "umlaut" over the e in Pugachev, which makes it Pugachov--but the English transliteration is Pugachev.  The three Russian sources referenced at the bottom of the page all give -chov, so why isn't it Pugachov?  I know we spent a couple decades calling Khrushchov "Khrushchev," but I thought when Gorbachov came along, we figured it out.  Guess not. Terry J. Carter (talk) 16:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Its a bit confusing, from what I can see both are variedly used. The Britannica and Collins dictionary list it as "Pugachov" but then both the Columbia Encyclopedia and The Great Soviet Encyclopedia list it as "Pugachev". Also, you can simply do a Google searche for Pugachev and Pugachov to see which one is more widely used; Pugachev clearly seems to be the more used one. The redirects are already there, it might be better to just add that its also spelled as Pugachov. Gotitbro (talk) 02:21, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

text: The name is written Pugachev but spoken Pugachov (stress on the last syllable) just like in Gorbachev etc. It is a russian specialty that a stressed "e" can be spoken as "o" or as "yo" (it depends...)Well if you like: good old Gorbachev is spoken in Russian "Garrba'chov". --FK1954 (talk) 19:54, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.  B2T2 15:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Project directory 

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 20:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Wacker Drive

message: I was thinking we should add to the intersections information about connections between Upper and Lower Wacker. For instance, while driving southbound on Lower Wacker, one can exit to a ramp that takes you to the intersection of Washington [Randolph] and Upper Wacker, and can turn on either road—so in a sense, it is an intersection with Lower Wacker as well. Perhaps we should split the intersections into Upper and Lower Wacker lists? Also, yes, Columbus Drive is tri-level for at least some distance south as I ended up on the lowest level once when exploring the bowels of the city. I'll explore it again when I get the chance. — Knowledge Seeker দ (talk) 07:58, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I was working on a side view of Wacker (which would show the intersections and ramps, like at right), but I don't have enough information. But apparently you'll be helping; thanks again. I'd like to show which ramps are one-way as well. --SPUI (talk) 08:09, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Jury nullification

message: For a reader unfamiliar with the common law system, the term "jury nullification" may intuitively mean that either the jury or its verdict is nullified, which (as I understand it now) is not the case: the term apparently means that the jury nullifies the law for this case. It would be good if this was explained early in the intro. – gpvos (talk) 16:20, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

message: The date of death cannot be correct. Alvan's last refractor, the 40 inch telescope at Yerkes Observatory, was constructed in 1896 and he was involved in the grinding and polishing the lens, and its installation in May, 1897. He  died shortly after that (June 9, 1897, according to Yerkes reference). I need to fact check a bit before I edit the article page. --Gosgood 11:00, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Trade paperback

message: Too much stuff about comics here. The TPB was already in use many years before comic books hijacked the term with the wrong usage. --Pc13 11:39, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: re:
Trade paperbacks were once used primarily for special editions, but for many literary titles trade paperbacks have now replaced regular paperbacks as the format for a book's subsequent release once its hardcover edition has been discontinued. Generally, regular pocket-sized paperbacks are now used only for popular and genre fiction titles. 
For new writers publishing their first works, a trade paperback may even be the sole format of a book's release.  
* This looks more applicable to mass market paperbacks than TPB's.
* 'New' authors are more likely to only appear in Mpb
* TPB take over from hardcover almost never happens, unless is an extraordinary bestseller like the Harry Potter books. Even Tom Clancy hardly ever has a TPB printing (if ever).
* TPB's are usually limited editions by specialty publishers. Or so 51-8 years as a bilophile tell me. Best regards, // <B>Fra</B>nkB 05:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Even in genre, some books go from hardback to trade paperback and may not have a mass-market paperback edition for a long while if ever.  Most of Gene Wolfe's recent novels and collections, for instance (arguably an overlap of sf with "literary" fiction).  The Tor Orb imprint consists of sf novels and collections in trade paperback which may or may not go to mass market paperback later on depending on sales, and Tor isn't the only publisher do do this kind of thing with sf titles. --Jim Henry 19:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  This whole conglomeration is suspect 

message: If I'm not mistaken, another important difference between mass market paperbacks and trade paperbacks is the returns policy.  MPBs can be stripped and the covers returned to the publisher for credit (as evidence that the book was unsold and destroyed).  It used to be this saved the publisher money in shipping costs.  But as printing costs have gone up, the number of copies a book has to sell to make MPB return policy cost-effective has also gone up, and more midlist titles are appearing only in TPB, which have to be returned whole by the bookseller if they remain unsold.  Trade paperbacks are more likely to be remaindered like hardbacks, whereas MPBs are more likely to be stripped and destroyed. --Jim Henry 19:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Kentish Town station

message: Prior to my changes, this article implied:
* Only the London Underground portion was in Zone 2
* The whole station is decorated in Edwardian Red tiles.
I know the former is incorrect (the whole station is in Zone 2) so I have corrected this. I suspect that only the LUL bit is decorated in red tiles, but without a site visit I cannot be sure, so I've left that intact.
Can anybody definitively say whether the Thameslink part of the station has Edwardian red tiling?. -- Chris j wood 11:51, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesnt have any tiling, it doesnt have anything except platforms, as it shares the LUL ticket office, so its slightly misleading. I would add a picture but it is being refurbished. Justinc 18:48, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes to the article 

message: The layout is incorrect. The station does not have an island platform, it has two tunnels, one for each direction with separate platforms. I think the only underground northern line station with an island platform is Clapham Common. I'm not sure this sort of basic diagram adds anything to the article. Grim23★ 11:38, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Ah. I see what you mean now, and I agree with you that ideally they would be linked to the articles in question on the web somewhere, however they don't appear to have been placed on the Internet. I couldn't find them anyway. I got the references from a document discussing UKIP published by an MEP who provided these quotes from Sked. I forget the name but I should think I could track it down if you wanted. I didn't make a note at the time because I thought it unneccesary to have a reference for where I got my references from, if you see what I mean, thinking it was probably unlikely that an MEP would take the risk of fabricating unflattering quotes about a rival party and then making up references that someone could go and check. If you don't doubt their veracity I think I'll leave it at that, but if someone comes along and says they look made up to me then I might have to look into this in a bit more detail, since I haven't actually had the papers in front of me in which Sked apparently makes these claims, only a document which quotes him. — Trilobite (Talk) 17:15, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
