Talk:Jim Crockett Promotions

message: This article should perhaps mention MACW. The template  has a piped link of MACW to JCP but this article doesn't mention MACW at all, which is confusing to readers. Jason Quinn (talk) 16:19, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  MACW 

message: Many say that WCW was "created by Turner" after the purchase of JCP.  To me, WCW and JCP are one in the same, Turner just renamed the company after the former TBS JCP progam upon purchasing it.  If anything, it was created by Crockett Sr., ended up in the hands of Crockett Jr., who bought other territories and merged them with his own, sold to Turner, and finally sold to Vince.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.210.210.247 (talk) 07:46, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Hull

message: MOS:FLAGS explicitly states: "Avoid flag icons in infoboxes. Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a 'country', 'nationality' or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many. Flag icons should only be inserted in infoboxes in those cases where they convey information in addition to the text. Flag icons are visually distracting in infoboxes and lead to unnecessary disputes when over-used. Examples of acceptable exceptions would be military battle infoboxes templates and infoboxes that include international competitions, such as FIFA World Cup or the Olympic Games. The guidelines for a number of common infoboxes (e.g. Template:Infobox company, Template:Infobox film, Template:Infobox person) explicitly prohibit the use of flag icons. The use of country-related flagicons and signal flags in infoboxes for ship articles and military conflicts is appropriate."
Additionally, this article is of a military person, not a military unit, but that is of no consequence. Where can and editor find info to support your claim (MOS:FLAGS is directed from WP:MOS)?
::You'll note that MOS:FLAG says generally—it's advice, not the eleventh commandment. The use of flags in infoboxes of British military officers (including at least two FAs) is almost uniform and has been for longer than I've been on Wikipedia. I think one of the examples they give is Paul McCartney—his notability has very little to do with his nationality and so whatever prominence a flag give the nationality would be inappropriate, but nationality (or rather allegiance) is much more relevant to a military officer. Monty, for example, was the head of the British Army and would not have been so if he was, say, a French citizen. That particular part of the MoS wasn't written with military biographies in mind and they are (rightly) generally excepted from it.

replies: text: Hi Bullmoosebell. Thanks for your contribution. I don't think there is any need to look wider than MOS:FLAG and the exception contained therein.

message: +18.1°C in November is very close to the +18.3°C it says happened in July, and warmer than it says it went in August or June. Environment Canada, which supplies this data, also supplies historical weather data for Resolute. I looked up the month that it said it went up to +18.1°C—November 1991—but I saw that the high for that day was recorded as -18.1°C. See here. The data for each hour is here. Although November isn't entirely during the polar night, they go many Novembers without ever going above 0°C. Looking through their historical weather data, the warmest November temperature I could find was -2.8°C, which was in 1955, 1965 and 1968. - Wuffyz 18:41, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Gropos

message: I just finished changing "GROPOS" to "gropos" in a bunch of articles and links after confirming the canonical spelling as presented by the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5. I am interpreting canonicity based on the following:
* B5 episode screen titles are all-caps, which is not how the episodes are generally represented in any other media source. Wikipedia capitalization standards ignore the irregular capitalization forms presented by title screens unless there is a compelling reason not to.
* The Lurker's Guide, which cites "Gropos" as the title, is the most respected source for B5 information, outside of the shows themselves and J. Michael Straczynski's published comments. (Note that neither the commentary nor JMS's notes in the LG "Gropos" page are consistent on this point, each using both "GROPOS" and "Gropos" as the title and term, rendering them inconclusive.)
* IMDb uses "GROPOS", but is not as canonical as the Lurker's Guide for this show, doesn't follow  its own capitalization practices in this case, and has been known to make similar errors on occasion.
* I have seen no other sources so far that indicate a "correct" capitalization for the term.
* It is not an initialism, but rather an acronym (narrow sense) (i.e., ground pounders), which typically is not capitalized when it becomes a common term (e.g., laser, radar, scuba).

I could swear I remember seeing something about it on Pete & Pete, too, actually, now that I think of it. As soon as you all mentioned Pete & Pete in connection to this, I got a mental image of the booth filmed in the way they used to film the show, and I can almost hear the narration (well, correction: I "hear" narration, I just can't remember what it said). Maybe not a whole episode or anything, but a brief aside or some such, and I/the anon could be wrong, but I actually don't think so. It's just the kind of odd little thing that would pique the interest of the show's writers at the time, so it's not at all implausible really. But of course, we can't say this in the article until someone's hunted up what episode it's actually in (if it is in an episode, which again, I think it definitely could have been, and somewhat remember it actually being in).

message: In previous times many orders and suborders of teleost fishes had names that were not based on a type genus. Someone has disputed my mention of such names. Why try to erase history? These names are used in older works, including dictionaries.
Often a name is tribute to a prominent characteristic. In this case the name Lyomeri comes from Greek words meaning loose parts. These creatures are fragile at sea level atmospheric pressure.
Leonard Peter Schultz in his book 'The Ways of Fishes' (1948) lists the Saccopharyngidae, Eurypharyngidae, and Monognathidae as its families. This is a pretty stable group. Only a fourth family is in doubt. Scott Tillinghast, Houston TX (talk) 22:44, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
