Talk:Shall We Tell the President?

message: What would Americans say instead of "The FBI are.."??
: The FBI is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It's singular. The FBI agents are called, well, agents, or, in slang, "The Feds", "G Men"... GRuban 16:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: The FBI are...

message: The two versions are so different as to nearly be separate works.  The earlier, Ted Kennedy version was totally rewritten to make it part of the hot-selling Kane and Abel franchise.  If these books were movies, the latter would be referred to as a "remake".  75.200.43.27 (talk) 03:41, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two Versions 

message: Just recently, Reelz had a documentary about Jacqueline Kennedy called "Jackie: Behind Closed Doors" which briefly mentioned that the original plot of this book was the reason that she quit her job as an editor for the company which I believe from information here was Jonathan Cape. This fact also notably appeared in Bill O'Reilly's book Killing Kennedy, so should this be noted upon on this page?--Riadse96 (talk) 06:23, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I've editing this article in preperation for the planned All Aboard Florida station at this location.  If it is built, this article will likely have to be renamed, with the MDT station being a part of the Intercity Rail Station like with Pennsylvania Station (New York City) and London Paddington station.  If the project falls apart, then this is logical place to have a footnote about it instead of a stub article floating around.- Aalox (Say Hello • My Work) 11:25, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Future All Aboard Florida Station 

message: The station layout and the diagram don't seem clear to me.  How can it be that there is a Metromover station at ground level?  Are there any pictures of this set-up?  Since the Metromover is above the grade of the street, does that mean it starts on the ground and then quickly rises to another level or is the description and diagram incorrect?  In pictures, I only see three rail levels: the Metromover rails on the first level above the street, a mezzanine level, and then he Metrorail rails at the top level. --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:31, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I was able to find that the Metromover lines are all on the same level, so the diagram was incorrect and I fixed it.  If anyone feels the labeling of the different levels is incorrect, feel free to fix the numbers.  I guess you could add "1F" to "G" a sort of "1F/G" if you feel strongly about it. --Criticalthinker (talk) 10:04, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Bernard Shaw (disambiguation)

message: :Moved from the Village Pump
There are two pages, one named "Bernard Shaw," which is a redirect to "George Bernard Shaw," and a page named "Bernard shaw," which is a disambiguation page between "George Bernard Shaw" and a still-blank "Bernard Shaw (CNN)" (Bernard Shaw is a CNN comentator).
The "American presidential debates" entry lists "Bernard Shaw" as a former presidential TV debate moderator.  The link, however, is to "Bernard Shaw" and redirects to "George Bernard Shaw."  George Bernard Shaw died in 1950, ten years before the first TV debate between Kennedy and Nixon.
Please help moving things around.
Thanks.

Talk:Flatlander

message: The usage of "flatlander" is way wider than the UP.  Folks in Wisconsin use it to refer to people in Illinois, and in northern New England it's a term meaning "non-native".  Anyone else have versions used
IMHO, either this entry needs to be broadened, or the article absorbed back into Yooper

thread_title: Untitled

message: The Flatlander article dates to October 9, 2004, while the Flatlanders article is even older, created September 6, 2004. Both articles cover the same topic, so they should really be merged, preferably to the singular form. Since both have extensive histories, a  move would need to be done by an administrator.  In the meantime, I redirected the singular article to the plural one, because the latter was larger, but the other alternative would serve as well. --Blainster 21:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge needed

message: This page is a mere dictionary definition (something which Wikipedia is not).  It explains the various meanings and regional usages a slang term.  I can't find any encyclopedic content on this page.  Nothing here rises past what I would expect to read in a truly great unabridged dictionary.  The definitions and usage discussions belong over in Wiktionary where folks with the right skills, interests and lexical tools can more easily sort out the meanings and origins.
Options to fix the page here include:
# Expand the page with encyclopedic content - that is, content that goes well beyond the merely lexical.
# Redirect the page to a more general page on the appropriate sub-genre of slang.
# Replace the current contents with a soft-redirect to Wiktionary (usually done using the  template).
# Turn it into a disambiguation page for the various related usages of the term.
Pending a better answer, I'm implementing option 4 for now.  Rossami (talk) 22:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Truman State University

message: This section is unusual for an article about big universities. The contents are completely unreferenced and since it is just a rote list of various societies without any further detail, I question whether there is any useful information being shared here. I propose deletion. The same goes for the buildings, which are referenced only by internal links. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 18:47, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Rather than deletion of the Greek society lists, consider a rewrite to a brief paragraph stating what kinds of Greek organizations are on campus, but without lists. This paragraph would need a citation, naturally. Qflib, aka KeeYou Flib (talk) 11:49, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:First Boer War/to do

message: *Write material on "aftermath" or "lasting consequences"
*Revise & correct material on 1st Boer War: 1877 was not "after" the Anglo-Zulu war which was fought in 1879. Rather the annexation of the Transvaal in 1877 increased tension between all 3 parties (the Brits, the Zulus & the Boers) & was a contributing cause of both the Anglo-Zulu War and the 1st Boer War. The main hostilities of the Zulu War did not begin until after the Brit's ultimatum to the Zulus (in Dec. 1878?) & the British invasion of Zulu territory in January 1879. Cetewayo (King) & the Zulus were decisively defeated at Ulundi in July 1879 & surrendered shortly thereafter (Sept. 1879, I think).
*also maybe add name of writers who contributed to the propaganda and how the people felt about the war?

message: I'm not clear what psychiatric care has to do with state actors conducting warfare.

thread_title: Influence on justice system

message: I think the article is too short. It needs to tell us more about the tribunal itself, its arguments and its findings. Also the historical surrounds should be mentioned, like the 1967 Israel vs Egypt war which wiped the issues of the pages of the international press.

message: Hello, I have been working on some revisions for this Tibia page to get it up-to-date. I archived the old talk page since many years have passed since anyone talked there.

I'm basing this on wikis for other MMOs like WoW. I'm also planning to add some screenshots. I'd like to show a few very old screenshots and then some modern ones for comparison.

message: User:GeorgeWilliams inappropriately moved this page to John M. Frame by cutting and pasting the contents of another article. That left the history and the talk pages for both the new and old hanging (not to mention left a number of WP articles obviously pointing to the wrong article). If the page should be moved, the proper procedure is to use the Wikitools to move them, not do so manually, so that everything stays consistent. I have restored the old state until we come to resolution.
More to the point, by Google hits and publications, the philosopher/theologian seems to be much likelier the person sought than an athlete from the 1700s, so this was by no means a non-controversial move and should not have been made unilaterally. At the very least, I would argue this page should become a disambiguation page, but really, based on Google, I think a top link to the cricketer is the most appropriate solution under WP:DISAMBIG since the vast majority of people looking for John Frame will want this one. --Flex (talk|contribs) 22:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
