message: Although no doubt in certain quarters, even if simply for purposes of ease of identification, she is referred to as "Hansford Johnson", the fact that the ODNB and National Archives (https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/c/F72127) refer to her as "Johnson, Pamela Hansford", and contemporary reviewers etc refer to her as "Miss Johnson", indicate her surname to be simply "Johnson"; her father was simply "Johnson", so the "Hansford", as her middle name, doesn't seem to be necessary given as part of a compound surname.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.202.205 (talk) 17:24, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Telegraph (album)

message: I proposed the information from some of these songs be merged into this article because there is not enough information about them for them to merit separate articles. For those song articles with no usable information, I have proposed deletion, as they are just clutter. 
Also, I have removed the lyrics from the song articles where they appeared. Posting lyrics is a copyright violation and is not allowed on Wikipedia. I had originally tagged Circles(Drake Bell) for speedy deletion, but when more information was added than the lyrics, I just removed the copyvio lyrics.
These are all housekeeping motivated proposals and have nothing to do with the artistic merits of the artist or album. --Ginkgo100 talk · e@ 20:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Tigard, Oregon

message: In response to the  placed on the article, I figure I'll at least explain my reasoning for creating this article in the first place.  There was a redlink on Tigard to a list of mayors (likely as part of the city template at the time), so I decided to make it blue.  I agree, most of these guys aren't now, nor will they likely be notable enough in the future to be given full articles.  I will point out however that there are 196 articles in the category :Category:Lists of mayors, many of which are massively full of redlinked names, and likely aren't any more notable than Tigard is. --Billdorr 03:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Egad, 196? I think I'll just stick to my little corner of the Wiki and look the other way. However, in turn I'll  point out WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It's also a little odd that the only two Oregon entries are Portland and Tigard. Nothing against Tigard, but if it's going to have a list there's a least a dozen other places in Oregon that ought to have one too. I like the way it is in the Eugene, Oregon article, with the list of mayors in the government section. So I'd rather see the info from this list moved to the Tigard article. But don't take my prod personally--if you think the article should stay, I won't contest it if you remove the . Katr67 04:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Like I said, I created the article only because it was redlinked on the Tigard article, and since the city infobox template has been changed to no longer include a link to List of mayors of , a merge might not be a bad idea.  I could have sworn there was at least one Oregon city other than Portland and Tigard that had a mayor list here, but it would seem not so anymore.  I think maybe the only reason to keep the two articles apart is to prevent vandalism on this list.  As it is, it doesn't stand out on the main Tigard article by being just a single link further down the page. --Billdorr 06:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually, that was 196 on just the first page.  There were 68 more on the second (which, actually seems quite low for Wikipedia).  I don't think you'll see much argument that a historic list of this type is not notable.  As for whether it belongs in the city's article, or in a stand-alone list; that is a style issue best solved by  not .  That's why I pulled the PROD tag. Neier 09:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As the list is rather small I say merge. Plus I don't think it meets notability requirements to be a free standing list. Third, it will be very likely that few of the red links will ever get links, as unless these mayors are notable for something else they will not have articles. Aboutmovies 19:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. There isn't strong opposition to the merge on the talk page of the list either. Katr67 19:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Soul Patrol

message: I asked that the original article here be merged with Taylor Hicks, only to find that there is another use of the name Soul Patrol which is linked to other articles.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/3RR

message: I believe people should be able to edit the text as SlimVirgin was able to do, but StrangerInParadise is right that such minor changes over time have affected the spirit of the Three revert rule. I have made comment on the 3RR's talk page of how such changes have affected articles over time. In specific to this RfC, wikipedians should be able to put the tag up to advertise discussion. — Dzonatas 00:53, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me that 3RR is being used, not as a way to prevent edit wars, but as a tool to supress dissent when a group of 3-4 people 'take over' a page. If there is only dissent by one or two people, then they can revert without comment, and no one can do anything, since asking for explanation yields nothing, and reverting leads to being blocked. It's broken, and is being 'gamed' for POV reasons. For great justice. 16:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

message: #The change was over half a year ago. I haven't noticed negative effects.
#I believe you are misunderstanding the nature of policy enforcement at wikipedia. It is not robotic but thoughtful with goals clearly in mind. The goal of 3RR is "to stop edit wars", so if its not an edit war, #RR doesn't apply. If it is an edit war, saying haha i moved rather than revert, #RR doesn't count doesn't cut it so SV just made that point crystal clear. The policy was not in fact chaged at all. Just clarified.

Talk:South Semitic languages

message: This section of the text:
:The "homeland" of the South Semitic languages appears to have been the southwest corner of the Arabian Peninsula—indeed no Semitic language is thought to have originated on the continent of Africa. The modern and historic presence of South Semitic Ethiopian languages (and Ethiopic script) in Africa is believed to be due to a (backwards) migration of South Arabian speakers from Yemen within the last few thousand years. (It can be considered a "backwards migration" in that Afro-Asiatic languages are assumed to have arisen in Africa originally and moved into the Middle East and Arabian Peninsula in the form of Proto-Semitic, since all major branches of the larger Afro-Asiatic family except for Semitic are found in Africa. A minority of academics, e.g. A. Murtonen (1967), dispute this view, suggesting that Semitic may have originated in Ethiopia.)
seems to contradict what Semitic Languages says:
:Since Semitic is a member of Afro-Asiatic, a principally African family, the first speakers of Proto-Semitic are generally believed to have arrived in the Middle East from Africa, in the 4th millennium BC, although this question is still much debated.
Whereas the first is affirmative in its proclamation that it did not originate in Africa, the latter says that it is more likely that Semitic languages (e.g. beginning with Proto-Semitic) began in Africa, but that it's still up for debate. The text in this article seems POV, so I'm going to change it to something more in line with the latter (which seems more accurate anyway).

thread_title: Backward Migration?

message: I don't know why I haven't visited this article before, but there are a few things which place it out of balance with the rest of articles on Semitic languages. The most favoured sources list South Semitic as part of a large West Semitic grouping (this is discussed on various pages linked off these articles). Although there is a reasonable claim for South Semitic being a separate entity, it is not the general overview of our other articles, and we should seek consistency. Likewise, the article should be titled South Semitic languages (we have East Semitic languages, West Semitic languages, Central Semitic languages…). Once these are accepted we can use  in the same way as it used in other groupings. I feel that this is mostly straightforward. Does anyone disagree with this approach? — Gareth Hughes 14:53, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: References

message: This article had some major problems, mostly that it did not explain SMH with regards to who, what, when, why, and how. It also contained some inaccurate information which I have removed including statements such as:
*Large creatures such as vertebrates typically have a long generation time, while (micro-)parasites (viruses, bacteria, fungi or worms) that they play host to often have a short generation time.-huh? 
*"the less efficient innate immune system"-the innate system is no less "efficient" than the adaptive system, they just have different jobs.
*This process takes 3 weeks, and speeds up that which would otherwise require centuries of evolution- this is a logical fallacy, (three weeks!! we would all be dead by now if that were true.)
*Some worm species avoid the adaptive immune response by modifying their external skin or secretions every couple of weeks- so what, SMH plays very little role in immune system escape by parasitic infections, plus every couple of weeks, what?
Also, I have included some references that can be used for further study, for those interested.
