I disagree the page should be moved so if you want to move it, you'll need to follow the more formal page move procedures by making a proposal and getting consensus.

It is not appropriate to list under "Notable interments" when there is no established notability. Wikipedia is not a memorial.

replies: text: Hello, Carptrash and Appraiser. Here is the help file for images. You asked about 'upright' on my talk page and someone else mentioned 'gallery'. If that doesn't help, maybe the Village Pump would help you out, or WikiProject Minnesota. Also, I think there is a rule against photography of sculpture in the United States. IANAL (I am not a lawyer). But you know what? I bet Lakewood Cemetery would answer their phone and know what kinds of photography are permitted there. I myself have a few other articles in my queue and don't plan to return to this one anytime soon. Hope this helps. -SusanLesch (talk) 22:03, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:IT portfolio management

message: Greetings all, this is my first Wikipedia article (I have been contributing for some time). I know that new articles are scrutinized by many more experienced folks and welcome all feedback. I hope that I have made the case that this merits its own entry. 
I do not believe there are any particular religious wars going on in this subject so far, and did strive for NPOV as far as it is relevant.
One question I have: with no financial interest at stake in any of these firms, I would still like to list vendors of portfolio management tooling, as the existence of this market segment is further support for this article's existence. Comments?

message: I'm afraid that I am not familiar with McFarlan's work but the matrix in this article does not appear to be a Project portfolio matrix.  It appears to be an application portfolio matrix, useful for categorizing the actual IT asset, not the investment or initiative that generated it.  Would it be more appropriate to move the matrix to the Application Portfolio Management article?

thread_title: On use of McFarlan's IT Portfolio Matrix

message: I'm not quite sure I like the articles take on "Resource Portfolio Management". It lives with Application and Project, but resources (meaning humans as it is worded right now), may not really be what we're looking for here. Normally three things make an organization capable:
* People (got that covered)
* Processes 
* Tools
The current definition in the article of the third leg (RPM) has left out that you're only capable given not just the right people, but also the right processes, and tools. I would argue a re-writing of RPM into Capability Portfolio Management making it include the "how" and "with what" and not just the "who". --Sstaunb (talk) 07:04, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the non-project aspects of the IT portfolio deserve more coverage. Would be happy to offer something but it might be too speculative or immature for Wikipedia standards. Capability portfolios are being managed by some organisations. Many more are already applying portfolio management to suppliers. Skills and talent would be another candidate but is rare and immature. For large organisations there are also portfolios of IT functions e.g. central, regional and local IT.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cioportfolio (talk • contribs) 16:01, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Edward O'Rourke

message: Edward O'Rourke was from an Irish family, who moved to Eastern Europe. Edward was born in Belarus, lived, studied and worked in a number of European countries for 63 years. Because of war times he - became stateless - and therefore took on Polish citizenship in 1939, he died in 1943, so he was Polish for 4 years versus his previous 63 years. Some people at wikipedia insist on him being labled as Polish only 
These are by the way the same people, who declare everyone with a Polish name to be Polish just because of the name, even if they were born or lived in other countries for generations.
Does everyone agree, that O"Rourke was Polish only?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.133.64.78 (talk) 16:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

If no one objects, I may do this in a week or two. -- Rizzleboffin 16:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On second thought-- It's probably best to leave the 9 Japanese films here, with links to separate articles on the four Americanized films.

message: OK, currently the article has some discussion about how the Japanese literally translates to "Super Giants", not "Super Giant", and how "it is said that some fans in Japan" think this is to reference the Japanese baseball team.  There's one little problem with this scenario, though:  Japanese nouns don't change their form to become plural.  To my knowledge, "Super Giant" and "Super Giants" would both be the same thing in Japanese, so whose authority do we have it on that the "literal" translation would be "Giants" despite it referring, obviously, to a single character? -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:11, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have had this reverted by someone who calls themselves "TBM10". The text I have written, compared to what was previously there, in my opinion, is more comprehensive, is more verifiable by way of a link to the source via archive.org, and is more carefully written. What do others think?   In the next week or so, this will be going live so I don't feel the exhibition needs to be repeated twice. Moreover, in the article I'm about to create, the history segment I have written will not fit, but it fits in the Gidea Park article. Gidea Park's history goes back further than 1911 and the Romford Garden Suburb estate; it was a very notable area, not least because it was the seat of Cooke's, and latterly, a leading liberal politician. It was also of royal interest with a members taking an interest in the area.  Nowhere in what is currently there makes any mention of this and instead concentrated solely on what went on in the late-Edwardian period. It also fails on verifiability as it only makes do with two sources, and one of them is a primary, unreliable source. CassiantoTalk 21:21, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
