Talk:Blood circle

message: The article describes the blood circle as a circular plane.  Wouldn't it be more of a sphere or a cylinder?  --Doradus 16:23, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Valhalla, New York

message: It cannot both be true that Valhalla's population has precipitously declined and its population density has vastly increased, unless of course Valhalla's area has vastly decreased (or its population is incredibly obese, maybe?). Which it is, I don't know, but research must be done. The decline from 5,379 to 3,162, 2000 to 2010, can't possibly correlate to 704.9/ previous density and 3,900/ something current density.

Talk:Independent Gay Forum

message: Reprinting notability info here, from the AFD. 
I expected this to be easy to source considering how often Andrew Sullivan and Jonathan Rauch blather about it. But, not so easy. It appears their popularity has tapered as of late, and much of the direct sources of notability have been sucked away by media companies who don't like to host their own content after three months. However, using WP:WEB criterion 3, "The content is distributed via a medium which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster", we have reliable sources that attest this has occurred. First, the New York Press tells us that "The WSJ’s online Opinion Journal went even further, pulling in a piece by gay writer Paul Varnell on the gay conservative site Independent Gay Forum." I don't see an explicit date on that piece, but it says "Pim Fortuyn, who was brutally assassinated last week", so that gives us an idea. Second, the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance are using a citation to a piece from the Independent Gay Forum titled "Punishing gays under Islam" which, according to their citation, was published in the Chicago Free Press on 21 October 2001. Chicago Free Press doesn't have their own Wikipedia article, but they do get their content republished by Lynn Conway at the University of Michigan, so they would pass WP:WEB themselves (although it is never a requirement for any source to be WP:N enough to have its own article to nevertheless be used as a WP:RS). So that's two instances of satisfying WP:WEB criterion 3, and either one of those instances alone would be enough.
Also this coverage in the Indiana Daily Student might be somewhat useful. — coelacan talk — 11:42, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Drumline

message: This article (and it looks like the one on Marching Percussion as well) are in desperate need of some references.  I'm working on finding some, but if you do a little research you'll see it's difficult to find just simple definitions of the modern drumline.  I'm doing my best, but if anybody finds some better stuff that would be awesome! I know most people who are reading the article probably have a general idea of what a drumline is and for the most part agree on the information in the article, but having references would make it much more credible.   I have added some references and added a couple pictures as well. Drumline Enthusiast  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.210.59.46 (talk) 17:53, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:Infobox music genre

message: As far as I can see, the parameter "color" was deleted from the template in January 2019 , but it's still present in the documentation, while not affecting anything.

Talk:Structuration theory

message: This page is already very good. It has a clear structure and detailed explanation, I believe readers will have a good understanding of this theory after going through this page.  For further improvement, I have a few suggestions.
First, you could capitalize the subtitles (e.g. Premises and Origins, Duality of Structure, etc.). In that way, this page will look more formal.
Also, I think "Duality of structure", "Structure and society" and "Agents and society" could be merged under one parent section named "Theory Content" or something. 
Finally, I noticed that this page lacks applications of theory, so maybe you could find some research about this theory and sort them out, then add a big section to respectively introduce those studies. I believe it will help readers better understand this theory.

thread_title:  Peer Review from Shuxin Zhao 

message: This page is great as it is comprehensive and everything written here is relevant to the structuration theory. It maintains a neutral tone and also does not rely too heavily on the original research, judging from the bibliographies. I love it how this page includes a section about criticism, which can give the readers a better understanding of this theory from another perspective. However, I do think that there are too many direct quotes under "premise and origins" and it is better to paraphrase them. Also, under "duality of structure", the third paragraph lacks citations.--Rorogaga (talk) 01:37, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
