Talk:Puddleglum

message: I always thought that Puddleglum was not putting the fire out, but burning his own foot. This would allow him to regain his mind, in the same way as it is said that if you generate a harder pain, the lighter pain seems to go away. So basically, he was reminding himself that there was a graver situation. -- D. F. Schmidt (talk) 17:25, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a reference for that and, as an experiment, used the Narnia Example Article as a basis for rewriting the article. I changed the rating of the article to B-Class; should that have been Start instead? LloydSommerer 02:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know, you might wanna remove some of the sections with very little content and merge them with the others. We can always rewrite those sections with more information, but for now they make the article look messy, if you will. --Wikiwow 13:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know how to do that and not have one very disjointed paragraph (I'm not that good a writer). What would we call that new section?  Or do you see it fitting under a current section? Maybe just point me to an article that presents disjointed info well, so I know what you mean? LloydSommerer 15:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Aslan article is pretty nice, and doesn't resort to all these unnecessary sub-sections, though it could use some more expansion nonetheless. I understand that there's much more to say about Aslan than there is about Puddleglum, but that's exactly why this article should be cleaned up a bit. --Wikiwow 14:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The sections that stand out to me as bad are "Name" and "Literary..." I could see moving those into a new second paragraph in the lead. This is a bit of a test case for the NarniaCharacterExample article. I'm pretty sure that it works well for a someone like Peter (see test case), less well in situations like this. The problem isn't that there is no information for a given section (in that case we drop the section) but that there is just one piece of information. Is it worth having the small sections for the sake of consistancy between all of the Narnia character articles?  You might want to chime in on the discussion at the Project Narnia talk page and/or the talk page for the example article LloydSommerer 18:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Flag of Missouri

message: Has anyone else noticed the strangely common occurance of Missouri flags being flown upside down?  Close to 1/3 of the times I see it, even sometimes on government buildings, it's hoisted blue-white-red, with bears standing on their heads.  Xyzzyva 18:10, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
I've reverted this article due to content that doesn't address the article topic, is plagiarism and copyright infringement. Here's what I wrote on the editor's talk page:
"Hi 98.170.210.55,
I noticed that you recently added a large chunk of text to the Flag of Missouri article about Marie Watkins Oliver. There's a couple of issues with the text. Since it discusses Oliver aside from her work with the flag, the information would be better in a separate biography article for Oliver, rather than lumped in with the Flag of Missouri article. The text also does not cite any sources (see Wikipedia:Citing sources) and is copied entirely from a biography published by The State Historical Society of Missouri (http://shs.umsystem.edu/historicmissourians/name/o/oliver/index.html). Because of the lack of attribution, your inclusion of the text is considered Wikipedia:Plagiarism as well as Wikipedia:Copyright violations, both of which are against Wikipedia's guidelines. In the future, please avoid both plagiarism and copyright infringement.
I've reverted the Flag of Missouri article to its previous edit. I think a biography on Marie Watkins Oliver would be great, but please add it as a separate article, be sure to cite your sources and avoid copying text directly.
Thanks!

Talk:DQ

message: User:Mikeblas removed three definitions with the comment "cleanup" and no
discussion here. One of the three was one I had put there, "Dressage Queen", which 
I have restored. Many of my friends who ride horses refer to dq's, it took me a while
to find out what they meant by this. It seems evident that this is a substantial distinction within the equestrian community, at least in the northeastern united states and in the UK; certain brands of clothing and tack are seen as dq, certain behaviors at competitions, etc. See . It seems reminiscent of preppie in terms of being not so much a self-identified subculture as a label applied by others. Rather than removing the acronym expanision, the subject almost certainly deserves an entire article, but I'm not qualified to write it. 
I'm not sure why the other definitions were also removed; I expect it's some policy thing. One referred to a software consulting company in Chicago (DQ Associates or somesuch), the other to a certain fundraiser featuring drag queens. I could see how either should perhaps have contained links to stubs about the company or the organization receiving the funds (respectively), and feel that it would be more constructive (literally) to have done a web search or two and started the stubs as opposed to removing possibly useful content. But there's probably some policy wonk document that says it's better to blow stuff away than fix it. -- Akb4 09:01, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Fife Circle Line

message: The line carefully misses all the unattractive towns of south Fife? Laurel Bush 11:54, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This article does seem like a bit of a rant about the East of Scotland transport system in parts, for example the bit about Haymarket. Paddington station and Fenchurch Street station don't have "London" in them, probably because the majority of rail users should have enough brain cells to rub together to realise they are in London. With regards to unnatractive towns, I think the south of Fife is beautiful, and the line does pass through all the attractive towns, although it does pass through unattractive ones as well, eg. Rosyth. The line "It links all the attractive towns of south Fife", although perhaps a little subjective for Wikipedia, is fine, as upon reading it one would not automatically assume that it therefore misses all the unattractive towns of south Fife. If one were to say "the West Coast Main Line links all the major cities of the west of England" one would not automatically assume that it does not link minor places like Long Buckby, Atherstone and Congleton as well.

Talk:The Long Watch

message: Altruism is uncommon in Heinlein? I've been reading RAH for a decade, altruism is a major theme in his work.
:I agree -- and I've been reading Heinlein for more than thirty years.Brandon39 04:40, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Do we have any sort of reference for this claim that Heinlein may have been advocating for conscientious objectors? It's implied that since Dalquist does not follow his commanding officer, he's acting as a rebel. However, he tries to talk to his commanding officer before doing anything, showing that he believes in following military discipline and protocol. Also, the very nature of the Space Patrol must be thought of. Patrolmen exist essentially as police officers of the world, being entrusted by the public to hold great power and execute it at the orders of the people, not by their selves. As such, Towers' actions would have been blatant rebellion, and I think it would have been clear to Dalquist that his actions were in keeping with the intentions of the Patrol as a whole, and not rebellious.
The idea of Dalquist being presented as conscientious objector is a pretty big stretch if you ask me, and I'd like to see a reference is this is going to be left in.

Talk:List of bird species discovered since 1900

message: Interesting idea for an article. I'll try and dig up some info to add. Perhaps we should also talk about 'split' new species.  Even though the HBW does not recognise, for example, the multitde of species split off by the AOU, it merits some mention. Last year the Cackling Goose was split off from the Canada Goose, based both on morphology and some convincing genetic studies.

message: The famous scene where Galactus' helmet, the Silver Surfer's surfboard, and Captain America's shield appear occurs on page 17 of issue 7 of Strikeforce Morituri.

SM#13 has extensive backstory on their future Earth, and I think #11 did, too.
______________________________________
I know that the comic kept saying that Bruce Higashi died when the Horde nuked the Black Watch escape craft.  But Radian was shown a Horde prisoner that was identical to Higashi down to the uniform.  Now we know that the Horde carried a virus that successfully bonds the "new metabolism" to the patient and cancels out the Morituri Effect.  So was this really Higashi?
Of course, it doesn't really matter if it was Higashi because he would have died anyway when the VXX199 destroyed the Horde fleet around the Earth.
It just raises interesting possibilities...
______________________________________
I know that Scatterbrain reached out to Scanner to warn him just before he (Scatterbrain) died.  And I know that Will (the A.I.) used Scatterbrain's image and personallity to warn Scanner of the VXX199 ten years after the Horde War.  But what I don't know is whether it was Scatterbrain or Will who reached out to Scanner just before the Prime Minister was assassinated...
______________________________________
I would have loved it if StrikeForce: Morituri had continued after Electric Undertow.  The Horde is still on Mars (just in a new mutated form), Znell and Tanaka still have control of the world, Will (the A.I.) mentioned something about cyber-ninjas, the next round of VXX199 Morituri are incubating, and don't forget Kimmo's Morituri.  It would have been too cool!
