Wikipedia talk:Article Collaboration and Improvement Drive

message: There is a proposal at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Watchlist collaboration notice to introduce some kind of an opt-out article collaboration notice to the watchlist to attract users. —Noisalt (talk) 06:57, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Watchlist collaboration notice 

message: I've just decided to relaunch WP:Article Collaboration and Improvement Drive, which has been moribund since January 2011 (actually much longer than that, but people were still adding entries). I've removed all the process-for-its-own-sake stuff, like votes and deadlines, that caused it to flop.  It's an important idea - a centralized place to identify articles that:
#Are important but crap, and need severe overhauling  or
#Are stuck in B class and need focused editorial attention to get to Good status (or stuck at Good or A class and need help getting to Featured).
It was just hamstrung by its own anal retentiveness.
It's also a good place to announce inter-WikiProject collaborations.  
It could just be redirected somewhere, if something newer has come along and I don't know about it.  WP:COTW and WP:COTM redirect there now. (PS: I'm not watchlisting VP; if someone needs my input here, wants to berate me, whatever, please drop me a  about it). — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 09:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Buford Pusser

message: Moved from the article:
:Although many believe he carried a "big stick" to bash criminals in his own form of justice, he did not.  The big stick was a fictitious part of the movies about his life.  
A reader has commented (via e-mail) that this stick is not fictitious and can be seen at the Police Museum in Pigeon Forge.  I found a link confirming the existence of the stick  but it says there that the stick was "used in personal appearances" - suggesting it may have been a prop adopted later, rather than something he used before the publicity.  Perhaps someone can clarify and replace if necessary -- sannse (talk) 23:58, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: If they did no autopsy on Pusser, how did they know he was drunk when he was killed?  I don't think there was any foul play involved in his death, but that doesn't mean he was drunk.  The highway where he was killed has a lot of twists and turns.  It's easy to have a wreck there if one is not careful, and most people who knew Pusser said he drove like a maniac.  In all likelihood, he simply had a wreck and killed himself. 67.45.112.174 (talk) 13:35, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

replies: text:  It was already in the lead and "Etymology" section. Jroberson108 (talk) 20:44, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pre-Puranic 

message: This topic is all too short for the many layers involved in any meaningful treatment of the yugas. 
— One point that needs would be to pull in the yuga cycle from the "See also" category to a more central position in the article itself, including the length of each yuga and the sandhya or interval period from one yuga to another 
— Another is the question of which yuga we are currently in, since there are two schools of thought: one, that we are not yet out of ascending Kali Yuga; the other, that we are actually in ascending Dwapara Yuga.
— There should also be discussion of how the four yugas dovetail so well with other fourfold categorizations of time periods by major civilizations such as Egyptian, Greek, and Native American, to mention just a few such breakdowns.
I would like to work on the article to enhance it by addressing these three needs, but I'm hoping others will pick up on it as well.
Augnablik (talk) 10:30, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Please don't. This page describes the general usage of the term yuga, which the lead specifies. There is already an in-depth yuga cycle page for that particular usage as well as pages for the named yugas like kali yuga. There are also other pages that relate "all" the different units to each other like Hindu cosmology where it is more appropriate to do so. Jroberson108 (talk) 18:33, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Public Image: First Issue

message: Why is it entitled "First Issue"? The wording of "first issue" is simply a part of the design (sort of a bulletin); besides the CD edition specifically gives the names of both the band and album as "Public Image" 'Public Image'.

The spine of the original vinyl does not show "First Issue" as the title but "Public Image" and the labels do not contain "First Issue" either.

Talk:Special rights

message: The debate is interesting and illuminating. It would appear to me that striving to have one view in the article would be doing no one any favours. Both sides of the debate, with explanations, should appear in the article. The finer points of the debate as featured here on the talk page reveal much about the topic in question. It would apear to me that the solution to the conflict would be to have both sides of the argument dicussed in depth on the article page. A compromise solution would be a muffled statement which doesn't reflect the true situation. SilkTork 08:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

message: There's a lot of controversy about the merits of Hanon's exercises. The article just says that these have become "standard" for "modern piano teachers" but it's more complex than that.
I've added a sentence or two, but it would be good to have an extended section about their whole use and POVs about them. I'll do more when I get time. 
I'm still feeling traumatised at the very concept of a Hanon Marathon. Urgh! Kisch
I only know this:  after a few minutes of warming up by Hanon's exercices, it's so much easier to handle a Bach fugue!  Try it yourself:  your hands feel a lot faster and more flexible and the piano keys feel a lot lighter!  And i believe i'm in good company if Horowitz liked it too, obscure critics notwithstanding...
:The exercises have their own article, which is much longer. Further explanation and opinions should be added there. Meanwhile, it would be nice to have more information on Hanon himself, like biographical information, or if he wrote anything else. Rigadoun  (talk) 19:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
