Talk:Beth Hart

message: It is acceptable to replace a decade old photo of a living person with a newer photo if one is available. One was available, so it was used. That photo has been deleted, so it is okay to revert back to an older photo, but a 12 year-old photo is crying out to be replaced, if there is a user with a more recent picture of Beth Hart that they legally own (taken by that person) that they would like to post to Wikimedia Commons and link to this article.

message: Disagree with Not notable and advertising comment.
Newzbin is THE major indexer of Usenet content, be it XXX or otherwise and as such is VERY notable.
How is refering to a site that does not charge for the content it provides advertising? if it is how is this bad? Surely every link published on Wikipedia is advertising.
I'd argue other links are far worse as they may be ad suported and yet they are acceptable, whilst newzbins site is not ad supported.
We can't object on Commercial grounds as I bet there are hundreds of thousands of links to commercial sites within wikipedia. ie; Microsoft / Cisco / BMW etc etc etc
185 results from a Goggle search = not notable. Plus this site is also a vehicle to sell the main site, which isn't free. Someone delete it.
Site is new, Bank made newzbin site stop hosting this section. Was not created to drive traffic to main site.  Definately notable.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I know that attempts have been made to remove this article. It barely escaped deletion last time, due to two moderate votes in favor of keeping the article. However, it is clear to me that this individual has not really made any significant advances in the field of computer science. How do I know this? I looked him up in the Web of Science. I found that he only has about 60 citations, which is not notable in any way. Furthermore, I find it ridiculous to give someone an article just because they write a blog on the internet that a lot of people read. By the way, although Nature may have listed him as a "top blogger," he has never published anything in this journal, nor has he published in Science. There are thousands of other researchers who routinely publish in these journals. Boab (talk) 18:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Why was this individual given a Wikipedia article?????

message: Recently an editor removed a mention of Shalizi's blog having received a recognition by Nature in 2006. Though Nature's remark on Three-toed sloth dates from 2006, I think it's still worthwhile to mention it, since it serves as a form of external review. It appears that Nature took a blog ranking from Technorati to establish popularity, and then tried to pick the 50 blogs highest in the list written by working scientists. Unless the reference is restored, the term 'popular' has no support, and may be disparaged as WP:PEACOCK language. I suggest that the reference be restored, but that more careful wording be added to explain it. EdJohnston (talk) 17:13, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Betsy DeVos

message: Why is it called the former when clearly it's the latter? Only thing they seem to be doing is using their money to buy what they're interested in... since when is that philanthropy? A possibly neutral term could be merely donating, but funding churches that hope for a theocracy isn't quite "promoting the welfare of others"... 92.7.58.211 (talk) 06:02, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Philanthropy is a vague concept with a lot of nuances. You might think that certain things don't promote the welfare of others, but other people might disagree. Kerdooskistalk  17:02, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

text: While much of her spending would be considered lobbying, and should not be considered philanthropy any more than political contributions do, the DeVos foundation does, according to the article, give to "hospitals, health research, arts organizations, Christian schools"... all of which would serve under common defintions of philanthropy. And while I share the general concern that every rich person who ever gave a nickel to beggar has folks wanting to identify them as a WP:PHILANTHROPIST in the lede, in the case of the DeVoses, there seems to be sufficient coverage there to use it. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 17:42, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Betsy Rawls

message: I am putting this here to ensure that text is not indiscriminately removed from this article. There is duplicate text in Betsy Rawls & https://web2.ph.utexas.edu/utphysicshistory/ElizabethERawls.html, as can be seen here:
*Duplicate Detector: (enwiki:Betsy Rawls & UTPhysicsHistorySite Elizabeth Earle “Betsy” Rawls)
I think that the text may have been copied from the Wikipedia article to the UT page, but I cannot definitively determine this. Here is what I can discern:
*All the duplicate texts of five words or more appear in the Amateur career & Professional career sections of a September 2012 version.
*"won" was inserted into the sentence "She also the 1949 Trans-National and the 1950 Broadmoor Invitational." in this .
*The whole of the "She also won the 1949 Trans-National and the 1950 Broadmoor Invitational." appears in the UTPhysicsHistorySite Elizabeth Earle “Betsy” Rawls article. Presumably this would have only occurred after the grammar correction.
*The modified date for UTPhysicsHistorySite Elizabeth Earle “Betsy” Rawls is dynamically generated to the current date & time. The earliest copy at web.archive.org is 2018-02-27.
*The latest dated item in the source code for ElizabethERawls.html is this image:
**Screen Shot 2014-07-08 at 4.08.52 PM.jpg
***Please note the date of the screen shot in the file name, 2014-07-08, occurs about nearly 20 months after the text in question appeared in the Wikipedia article.
I therefore believe that someone copied unattributed text from the September 2012 article to the UT web page, even though the UTPhysicsHistorySite Elizabeth Earle “Betsy” Rawls web page contains "Acknowledgement: Thanks to Betsy Rawls for some of her recollections about her UT years and career."
Because of this, I believe that ElizabethERawls.html is not a reliable source because it uses Wikipedia as a source. We are not currently using it as a source, but we should remove it if someone adds it as a reference, or make a note the discrepancy if someone adds it to the External links section.

Talk:Bettina Hoy

message: I have re-worded the very poorly constructed and heavily biased text that we had previously. I can understand that some fans of Hoy may be disappointed by what happened, but the result is that she and the German team lost the medals. We should remain as neutral as possible - emotional stories are a bad idea. Accordingly I have made the section more neutral, simply stating what happened. If I have made any factual errors please could someone let me know here what they are?
I also believe that the bell rang when Hoy first crossed the line but that she ignored this. I could not find any text to support this in a free article, so I have left it out for now. If anyone could track this down it would be most helpful. John Smith's (talk) 22:14, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: This AFD cycle has a very funny odor.  People defending the article, trying delaying tactics, vandals attempting to change votes from Delete to Keep.  Everything short of actually doing anything to demonstrate notability.  Makes me very suspicious about this guy. - Richfife 00:07, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Indeed this AfD cycle seem to be pre-empted by two or three admins who seem to be hell bent on the article's deletion. The delete was presumably due to non-verifiability. The original AfD was initiated by an administrator (Brian/btball) - based the AfD on an erroneous premise on the number of hits that was got through a Google search. However the dispute remained on the verifiability. I am enclosing a scan of a press/news item that was featured in a leading newspaper in India that does acknowledge the notability and verifiability of the individual. This was featured in the 2nd Aug 2005 and the news paper can be contacted for its verifiability.

Talk:Betty Thomas

message: I've just edited down a claim that The Brady Bunch remains one of the top grossing films directed by a woman. The source use only said that it -became- that, at the time, not that it remains that. Had it said that it remains that, it would still be a 7 year old source making that statement, making it difficult source for the "remains". Here is a more recent list of the top 17 films directed by women, (apparently ranked by unadjusted domestic gross) and Thomas has multiple films on that list, but Brady Bunch is not among them, not even close (the lowest film on the list did well more than double the Brady Bunch numbers.) And we only have domestic gross numbers on Brady Bunch; I expect that it would get more blown-out of the list if international numbers were included, as other Thomas projects like the Squeakquel and non-Thomas projects like Wonder Woman fared quite well in the international market.
It would be good if we had some solid metric, adjusted-gross ranking we could put in. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:37, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
