This sentence in the Islamic reform section: "Such a point of view is not shared by all religious believers, and there are many who would say that sacred texts such as The Qur'an need to be read and interpreted more literally -- and that this is a sign of their timelessness". Is it really necessary to repeat the opposing argument? We're talking about things he wrote in a book, it's his opinion and doesn't need to be countered with "but" this and "however" that all the time. Shax (talk) 02:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rename to Pipeline Pigs 

message: I would like to change the "first run" paragraph to:
"In 1961 the first intelligent pig was run by Shell Development. It demonstrated that a self contained electronic instrument could traverse a pipe line while measuring and recording wall thickness. The instrument used electromagnetic fields to sense wall integrity.  In 1964 Tuboscope ran the first commercial instrument. It used MFL technology to inspect the bottom portion of the pipeline. The system used a black box similar to those used on aircraft to record the information."
Summery:
First run by Shell Development 1961 demonstrating self contained instrument traversing line while measuring and recording wall thickness. I was there. Dated picture and report available
Comment:
This was my project at Shell Development (Emeryville, CA Lab). I made the first runs in Shell Pipeline's 10" Hope-Houston pipeline in the Barker Dam Loop near Houston. I built much of the electronics myself. I have a dated photograph of the launching and a dated copy of a report giving details including results. 
Thank you,
<tom.schmidt0383@sbcglobal.net>
Comment:
The acronym PIG does not at all stand for Pipeline Inspection Gadget, Gear or Gauge. The pig was named so because of a loud squealing noise it produces as it goes through a pipeline and that's just it. Recently, there have been many attempts to relate the  pig to the acronym P.I.G. but none has any historical backing to the origin of pipeline pigs. I also agree that this article should be merged with the one for Pipeline Pigs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tracvic (talk • contribs) 08:40, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:28, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Tom Wood (photographer)

message: The reason that red ink may appear on a disambiguation page is that people may be mentioned and red inked in other articles, perfectly notable individuals, but currently without articles.  For example the Tom Woods who is a horticulturalist is a winner of the Victoria Metal and these two articles link to him: Hedychium coccineum and Victoria Medal (horticulture).  Since we frequently have articles linking to the wrong person, disambiguation pages are a way to straighten that out.  I have not checked the notability of all the entries on this page, but you should at least look at what links here for the red ink ones before removing. --Bejnar 23:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The article on Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School is described as a stub, meaning it is a short article in need of expansion. The New Georgia Encyclopedia contains a lengthy article on RGNS that has been vetted by school archivist Billy Joe Stiles and the NGE editors. The New Georgia Encyclopedia has given permission to use its documented article (documentation which is now required by Wikipedia in order to have a credible full-length article) on RGNS, in order to post a full-length article on the history of RGNS and also to help the NGE in an experimental process whereby their articles are used with editorial permission to lend credibility to Wikipedia articles. It would be truly helpful to RGNS and nice for the NGE to have partnered a longer article that has been vetted.

Helen did not sacrifice and help build the farm business, she only inherited by marriage and willed the land to the state of Missouri to keep the seven heirs of AJ from taking claim to the land. 
Missouri should recognize women and their contributions, please give credit where credit is due..... Mary Coffer Hawn is the actual contributor. If renaming the park in honor of a woman I propose Mary Coffer Hawn State Park or Sherry Hawn Welch state park.

thread_title:  Manor of Baltimore, County Longford 

message: The article currently says:
:
# "As members of the Irish peerage, the Lords Baltimore were able to sit in the British House of Commons."
# "Irish peerages were often used as a way of creating peerages which did not grant a seat in the British House of Lords and so allowed the grantee to sit in the House of Commons in London.
# "As a consequence, many Irish peers had little or no connection to Ireland."
The second and third sentences, although unreferenced, are correct.  Up until the act of union of 180x Ireland was not part of the United Kingdom, per se.  English kings, also ruled Ireland, separately, just as the English sovereign separately rules Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark, as Duchess of Normandy.
The first sentence is wrong.  Up until the act of union Ireland had its own, separate, Parliament, and its own, separate, House of Lords.  An Irish peerdom was, generally, a reward, for political support.  An Irish peerage was less prestigious than an English or Scottish peerage.  None were created after the act of union.
I am going to alter the incorrect sentence.  Geo Swan (talk) 13:05, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

message: This article failed good article nomination, because of the following reason:
# Prose and writing needs improvement:
#* The structure of this article is confusing for a common reader to understand the article. The Characters and production history section should not be combined as one section. My suggestion is to split "History" and "Characters" into 2 sections. Afterwards, editors can focus on production history in the History article. Also when I read that section, I am confused with which one is a character name and which one is actor name. I have never watched this series before, therefore it is good for editors to inform clearly to readers, who do not have knowledge of the subject.
#* Avoid to use his/her if it is unclear to whom the editor wants to point at. For example, if the editor has written "known better as Moynihan report", it better to write "Moynihan report", rather than "his report".
#* Prose can be improved to have better encyclopedic statements, rather than narrative story.
# It is not enough with only 1 image. Also that the only image shown has limited use, because of copyright statement.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for the editors' work for this article. — Indon (reply) — 15:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
