Talk:List of Playboy videos

message: Why is Wikipedia advertising for Playboy???
:Wikipedia does not advertise; Wikipedia does, however, document notable commercial products from a neutral point of view because such products are a significant part of the world.  If you think that the tone of this article has strayed away from an objective description into a promotional or fan perspective, feel free to edit it accordingly.

message: I've removed vast chunks of the article.  Some comments were explicitly there too promote the videos in my opinion.  Some may argue I have ripped the guts out of this article, but I believe I have not.  If you want changes, please post your changes/additions here so we can view them in an objective manner.

thread_title:  Major Edit 

message: The current article appears to have many errors that I'd like to correct, but I'm new to Wikipedia, and before rewriting major chunks throughout, I'd like to ask something... specifically, I'm not sure how Wikipedia's policy against original research applies here -- if I correct something based on my viewing of the videos, is that "original research" when it's a matter of fact, verifiable by watching the videos?  Should I cite the videos as a source?  Thanks!  Efindel 20:29, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Many Errors 

message: Why is this called "List of Playboy videos"? All I see is a general overview of the various video lines. A list article should actually feature an itemized list of every release with release dates, etc. If there's no desire to add such a list, fine, but the article needs to be renamed in order to maintain consistency with other Wikipedia list articles (particularly filmographies and TV episode lists, which are the closest analogs to something like this. I might flag this article for a rename to Playboy Video. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 15:16, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Wisconsin Avenue

message: Wisconsin Ave. in the "Gold Cart Row" passes on the Maryland side into the Chevy Chase area before leading into Bethesda. I believe, that there even is a street sign visible displaying "Welcome to Chevy Chase," when traveling southbound from Bethesda on MD-355 going into Chevy Chase.
I feel that a separate page should be maintained for Maryland Route 355, since there is a signifigant portion of the route that is entirely separate from Wisconsin Ave. Jay 13:53, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The current order, with minimal properties in characterisations, is creating confusion.  Don't most people expect to see a full list of properties first, before the "if and only if" conditions?  On the other hand, we don't really want to repeat the list.

thread_title:  Properties before characterisations 

message: The illustration is rather useless as it should help understand the concept at first glance - all four sides do not have to be of equal length! You could include a drawing of a square and it would still technically be a parallelogram, but also completely fail to capture what makes a parallelogram. I would strongly recommend borrowing from other language versions of this article. VampaVampa (talk) 22:34, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Shag (tobacco)

message: So is shag just the same as rolling tobacco, or are they different things? -- Haddock420 22:28, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: "shag" is rather a vague term, although current usage is limited to cigarette tobacco (both tailor-made and rolling tobacco, the latter being commonly slightly coarser and longer cut). If someone has access to a good library, it would be interesting to have a section History of the exact meaning (width, length of the cut), which may have changed (see Cultural References below).

"Sherlock Holmes frequently solved crimes whilst smoking . . . shag tobacco"
Shag tobacco as described in the article is a very fine cut, used exclusively in cigarettes. Speaking as a pipe smoker (yes, I know, OR), I have tried it, and cigarette shag is not suitable for pipe smoking.  I suspect the "shag" smoked by Sherlock must have been between cigarette fineness and current ribbon or fine cut (approx 1/8").  Unfortunately, the two historical references given, William Andrew Chatto, Hablot Knight Browne (1839) & Frederick William Fairholt (1876) are not specific as to the actual size of shag cut at the time.  Does anyone have access to a historical book on tobacco cutting that would clarify this? - D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 04:21, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Discuss Link

message: I've corrected the capitalization of species names in a few places. I've noticed that the use of capitalization on tree names has been pretty inconsistent across Wikipedia, and even within the same article. This is probably due to the fact that we're used to plant names being used as common nouns (e.g. a bouquet of roses, a redwood forest, a lovely tulip, etc.). However, when referring to the species itself (e.g. the characteristics of Brazilian Redwood1 are...), the name is used as a proper noun and should be capitalized as with any other proper noun. The exception to this being botanical/binomial names, in which case only the first word is capitalized.
If you disagree with this assessment or have a line of reasoning for an alternative capitalization convention, then please share them here before/after making those changes.
1 Note: In this case, "Brazilian Redwood" is regarded as the common name of a plant species and does not simply refer to redwoods that are found in Brazil.

replies: text: I am not sure I care one way or the other, but your reasoning is not convincing. In the first place you have not corrected any species names, but trade names of woods, quite a different matter. It is fairly uncommon to capitalize both words in such names, or even the first word. This kind of capitalization is rather the mark of a commercial setting where they want the name to stand out, especially on web sites; I did not find it in any of the books I checked (and wasn't this supposed to be an encyclopedia?). - Ibbel (talk) 13:08, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Elgin Area School District U46

message: I modified the list to use the different school info boxes template:infobox high school, template:infobox middle school and template:infobox elementary school.  the list now infers which feeder school hierarchy. There is more information hidden in the page that can be revealed when the words high, middle or elementary are removed to reveal the more generic template:infobox school that is appropriate for individual school pages.  If and when these schools warrant their own page the information can bee transfered to the new page.  This has already been done for Elgin High School.

I really don't like the VB example.  Algorithms and VB programs are both procedural knowledge, even if the former is more general.

(I didn't write the sentence above and don't know who did) It seems to me that the VB example is bad because it tries to explain something in terms of variety in programming languages - not a particularly accessible illustration.
