Talk:Evil laughter

message: This article should really be merged with interjection, laughter or some similar higher-level article. Onomatopoeia is also not correctly defined here. This is not sound-mimicing, but of various renditions of contrived laugther. I wouldn't mind a redirect and some (very brief) information about it someplace else. Try not to leave a list of cultural references outside of text, though. Avoid liss. Mention the very earlies historical usage and some very prominent more recent examples.

thread_title:  bwahaha 

message: I feel this article needs a section on famous or notable instances of maniacal laughter.  Items I'd recommend for this list are Vincent Price, who was mentioned earlier, The Shadow, who's notable for being a good guy with a famous maniacal laugh, and Dr. Evil, whose enjoyment of maniacal laughter borders on obsession.  There is also Mandark from Dexter's Laboratory, whose laugh was so distinctive, they made a whole cartoon about it.  The problem with such a section would be everyone and his mother would be adding their favorite maniacal laugh to the list. Legionaireb (talk) 22:16, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps a good guideline would be to only include evil laughs that are notable, that have good sources commenting about them and preferably identifying them as evil laughs. --TiagoTiago (talk) 05:20, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Edo Castle

message: One of the gallery pictures should probably be promoted to the top as an example image. The foundation image makes the most sense content-wise, but it is not a very good picture (small & blurry). I was thinking perhaps the gate image instead? Does anyone know if that image is at all representative of the structure as a whole?-Spyforthemoon 16:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not check out the link to Commons at the bottom of the article. There are many more photos there, and they give a feeling for the castle. I took the gate (where Ii Naosuke was assassinated) and I'd say it represents the style of the old castle. Another one is :Image:KokyoTowerM1105.jpg, which is inside the grounds and not ordinarily accessible; the photograph was taken when the castle was open on the Emperor's birthday a year ago. It looks good at the size that might go in a box at the top. You might find something you like better. Fg2 21:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

But I've no idea what a "defense-house" is; guard-room? hoarding? And the compounds are described as enceintes; I'm thinking this should be bailey. Moonraker12 (talk) 16:35, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Interstate 140 (North Carolina)

message: The piece east of I-40 may not be signed as I-140, but NCDOT considers it I-140:  "HAMPSTEAD BYPASS, PROPOSED I-140 TO US 17 NORTH OF HAMPSTEAD", "US 17: I-140 (East) to NC/VA State Line" --NE2 02:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The article states that "I-140 begins at its partial cloverleaf interchange with I-40 and US 17 in Murraysville. From this point the route travels in an westerly direction . . ."  In the USA, routes are generally considered to begin at their southernmost or westernmost points and to proceed northerly or easterly from there.  Mileage, interchange numbers, etc., follow this pattern almost exclusively (the principal exceptions being routes predating the Interstate system and routes that go in more than one direction, such as full-ring roads).  Is this an exception?  The exit list suggests that I-140 is also an "eastbound" route.

message: This is a minor discrepancy: the opening photo caption says mid sized bed-width is 4 to 8 inches, 5 to 10 centimeters. Maybe we should replace "5 to 10 centimeters" with "10 to 20 centimeters," to more closely approximate 4 to 8 inches (assuming both describe the same range of mid-sized bed widths, in SAE and Metric respectively).Jeffreagan (talk) 13:29, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

message: I'm having a bit of trouble thinking of a jointer as a power tool. I deliberately avoided using that term because I wanted to distinguish it as a stationary machine, as opposed to a portable power tool. This may be a regional semantics issue but I would not think of a tablesaw, jointer or lathe as a power tool. I would call these items woodworking machinery. Strictly speaking, if you apply the criteria specified under the power tool entry, then a jointer is a power tool. I don't know if there is a further criteria that a power tool is portable but it just doesn't seem right to me... SilentC 23:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Blocked for 8 hours, because of the personal attack in his latest edit summary. Uncle Ed 23:47, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
*I'm not sure that one was a personal attack. The "turd blossom" reference was because he was correcting the spelling of Karl Rove's name (somehow, ZS believes that Jayjg and I are "Rove's boys" in a "corrupt little band"). --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 03:26, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Re: "Everyone involved in this needs to take a Wiki-Vacation..." With all respect, I want to share my own personal observation that Stark's uncompromising, thoroughly alienating approach on this page appears to have been worse when I returned this past week from a two-month Wiki-break than it was when I left. I think perhaps it's time for Stark to take a vacation from this page, so we can all see what kind of effect that has on this situation. BrandonYusufToropov 04:44, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Re: Outside view by Skoblentz

message: Zephram has twice removed the term "sockpuppet", while adding numerous IPs that allegedly support him. See  and . However, it's his summaries for these edits that really concern me:
*"Removed libel. Damaging statements presented as fact that can be proven false in a court of law have been successfully prosecuted in cases of Internet publication"
*"Removed libel again. Removal of libel, and the explanation as to why libel needs to be removed, is not a legal threat. Reversion to reinstate libel is inappropriate."
I believe this falls under Wikipedia:No legal threats. Specifically, the part of the policy that states, "Disagreements as to the identity of a person, their motivations for a given action, opinions of third parties about them, etc. do not fall under slander, however, and you should not use legal threats as a bludgeon to get your POV enshrined in an article."

:Somewhat...in some parts of Costa Rica it's rare to use "tú" or "vos" and "usted" is used for second person regardless of who you are talking to.

Talk:Hawaiian kinship

message: The article says: "In this system, a person (called Ego in anthropology) refers to all females of his parents' generation as "Mother" and all of the males as "Father". In the generation of children, all brothers and male cousins are referred to as "Brother", all sisters and female cousins as "Sister"."  Is it true to say "all"?  In this system, does Ego consider the nuclear parents' first cousins to be parents too, since parents consider their first cousins to be siblings?  Likewise does Ego also consider second cousins to be siblings?  Since parents have their own parents, this could potentially go on to include everyone related in the whole society. Mike S.

thread_title:  Improved 

message: It's true that Alford was a Black man living in the south, but the article mentions it right away, and when one reads "black man in the South at the height of the civil rights movement," one sort of expects that the rest of the article will make plain why that's important to know, and I don't think it's especially relevant in this article. 
The court opinion mentions the ethnicity of all involved, but I'm not sure why, really, except as an excuse to mention that he was with a white woman (who is not described as a "sex worker" in the opinion). I'd like to rewrite it in a more anecdotal way. Matuko (talk) 23:11, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

message: In response to , I spent all of two minutes or less finding this published seven-and-a-half years ago.  Similar offline sources exist dating as far back as 2011 which state the same thing.  So what exactly is being accomplished through editing activity such as this?  Does this move the project further in the direction of being a useful information resource?  The message it sends me is that someone with years and years of time here and a bunch of edits is expecting a new user making their second edit to do all the heavy lifting and to not bother contributing anything until they're ready to do that.  In case anyone is in denial, the state of encyclopedic content on Wikipedia lags far, far behind both its activity level and maturity level.  If you read this all the way through, you'll understand that taking 20 years to accomplish approximately five percent of the total goal is really nothing to brag about. Admins more concerned with control than with building a useful information resource have plenty to do with that situation. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions  17:16, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unsourced materials 

message: I would argue that the common factor of the victims who were unable to evacuate is that they are poor, not that they are black. 
The facts that a majority of the NOLA inner city citzens are black, whites tend to live in subburbs, or that nationwide a higher proportion of blacks are in poverty is much more of an issue between race and class than between the failure of the evacuation and race.
In order to qualify a disparity based on race one would have to show (with census numbers):
* Whites often have family in other areas of the country to goto during evacuations
* Whites tend not to live in multigenation households (ie grandparents)
* Blacks tend to live in multigeneration households (making it more difficult to evacuate)
* Blacks tend to live in the same cities as other family members (and therefore have no other place to go during an evacuation)
Even if you could prove these things it more shows that the disparity is not due to race but to culture.--mitrebox 19:39, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I deleted a section speculating that the verse beginning "Crossroads, will you ever let him go?" is a possible reference to Duane Allman's death in a traffic accident. The claim is unsubstantiated and does not make sense. Melissa was written in 1967 and recorded by Gregg and Duane Allman around that time with the same lyrics as the Eat a Peach version. The section also acknowledged the song was one of Duane's favorites, so it couldn't have referred to his future death.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.254.78.253 (talk) 04:00, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
