thread_title:  Comments 

message: I've proposed this article for deletion, with the reason:
: "After the Intelius purchase in 2008, ZabaSearch no longer provided any free information, just links to intelius.com per, e.g., the comments on the Talk page. As of April 2017 (unknown when this started due to robots.txt restrictions followed by archive.org), the site just returns a blank page for name and phone number searches, so it isn't even a functional front-end to Intelius' pay site anymore. Only reason for keeping the page would be for historical interest, since the site was once fairly well-known to consumers of such services. If kept, the page needs much rewriting due to non-encyclopedic language, opinion, questionable assertions, etc."
Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Zabasearch.com, there are only two substantive links to the article.  --Dan Harkless (talk) 06:35, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Chris Collins (singer)

message: Thank you! Finally, even a short block of info on Chris Collins! Now, the Dream Theater former lineup is complete in its main article. Much obliged. Stealth 23:40, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: For an ex-singer in a melodic band, this seems a little odd. Checked his Metal Archives page, and none of the bands listed that Collins has been a part of are listed as blackened death metal. It is entirely possible that this was put on here as a joke and has never been removed, especially as there are no sources citing the claim. Are there any references to this that anyone has, or does it need to be deleted?
MA page here - http://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Chris_Collins/44524
EDIT: This probably refers to Winterspell, who do seem to have growled sections in their music, but I wouldn't call them blackened death metal.

replies: text: It's apparently a problem of definition: Mount Bolivar is apparently considered by some to be in the Klamath Mountains, not the Oregon Coast Range. The blog entry you've linked above explains some of the problems in assigning Mount Bolivar to a particular range. Oddly, this U.S. Forest Service page says that Marys Peak is the highest in the Oregon Coast Range, whereas this page on the same site says that Mount Bolivar is the highest in the Oregon Coast Range. If you go by our article on the Oregon Coast Range, which says that the southern boundary of the range is the Middle Fork of the Coquille River, Mount Bolivar is definitely not in that range.

Talk:List of albedo features on Mercury

message: A few questions about this list: most importantly, where did the information come from?  The list doesn't seem to correspond much with what's at the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature, and the intro says it's about pre-Mariner telescopically observed features - why list these when observations have superceded them?  Shouldn't we make this list cover the present day catalogued albedo featured?  Where did the pronunciations come from?  Are they International Phonetic Alphabet or some other system?  Any answers would be very helpful!  Worldtraveller 23:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

While I appreciate that someone was trying in some way to improve the article on the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, what Wikipedia needs is sourced information, not more personal opinions.  For many months this article has been tagged as unsourced. Although I started this article, I feel it is on the edge of being just a PR piece, and is not really up to neutral encyclopedia standards. I'm going to revert your additions. If you want to contribute to Wikipedia, please get yourself a Wikipedia login and do the hard work of tracking down verifiable sources.  Start by going to David L_____ and asking him to supply you with copies of press clippings, since many articles have been written about the Arava Institute, especially in Hebrew. If the Arava Institute is "the leading ..." then you should supply a quotation from someone noteworthy or from a published source to back that up.

message: The article states that "Recent versions of the AI file format […] are based on a native format called PGF that is unrelated to both EPS and PDF."
However, the linked Progressive Graphics File article describes a "wavelet-based bitmapped image format" — which doesn't make sense in this context, since AI "is […] for representing single-page vector-based drawings".
(That said, none of the other disambiguations at PGF seem relevant, either.
On face value it might seem that the (now deleted) Portable Graphics Format linked to from PGF/TikZ could have been what was intended, but with  describing itself as "a TeX macro package for generating graphics" that seems unlikely.)
