thread_title: Transfer of discussion

message: I know absolutely zero about figure skating, but it seems to me at some point someone somewhere must have contested that only one male and one female can pair skate.  Has this sort of discussion been significant within the figure skating world, such that it should be included in this article?  00:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Has pairs ever been contested? 

message: I started a discussion at Talk:Single skating#Ladies vs. women.  I think that after all these years, it's something to discuss again, especially since there really wasn't consensus at the time, as per the section above.  The ISU hasn't budged on the topic, but it's something to consider amongst the editing community, especially in light of intervening discussions about the gender gap.  It's obvious where I fall on the subject: using "women", but explaining in notes that the ISU still uses the word "ladies" in all its regulations and communications.

thread_title:  Ladies vs. women revisited 

message: As I've done for many other figure skating articles, I've re-written this article. I have updated the content and changed the structure so that it resembles other figure skating articles. Its references are complete, accurate, and reliable. The images are appropriate to its content. I also removed the source template from the top of the page, since it's no longer true.  For some reason, this article was the most complex of the three articles about the disciplines, but I believe that it's finally completed.  I would like to submit it to GAN, which I'll do in seven days from now (18 December 2018) if there's no objections. If anyone has any thoughts about what should be added and/or removed, please speak up. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 13:21, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Talk:The Cardinal of the Kremlin

message: The plot description forgets to mention one more, half-fictional character -- Aleksander Pokryshkin. In reality General Pokryshkin was one of two USSR best aces in WWII (59 kills) and (with Ivan Kozhedub, 62 kills) one of two tree-times Heroes of Soviet Union.

thread_title: Untitled

message: It is hinted in "The Bear and the Dragon" that the gun was actually loaded, when Golovko congratulates himself for his self-control at the airport. I don't have the exact quote memorised, but that is the gist of it. I actually asked about that a couple months ago at the reference desk, and our consensus was roughly that Golovko probably lied.

thread_title: Gun to the head

message: The writing for this seems to be all wrong, emphasizing certain things like the extraction (especially the submarine part), and not mentioning Major Gregory and SDI at all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.216.177 (talk) 01:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fairly Badly Written

message: The plot description mentions that the Cardinal of the Kremlin's "persona may have been based on Ryszard Kukliński, a Polish agent for the CIA," but this is not likely.  In Chapter 19 - "Clear Signal," of Red Rabbit Clancy writes:
:And the Brits had helped recruit, and later run GRU Colonel Oleg Penkovskiy, the agent who'd prevented World War III and, along the way, recruited CARDINAL, the brightest jewel inn CIA's crown."
The article on Colonel Ryszard Kukliński, in the section "Opinion in Poland," it states that Colonel Kukliński in 1981 may have prevented World War III.  Thus, the fictional character, Colonel Oleg Penkovskiy is probably based on Colonel Ryszard Kukliński, and cannot be CARDINAL. Ileanadu (talk) 03:47, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Plot
Talk:Loop jump

message: I don't think it's accurate that the loop jump is typically the last triple learned by skaters, and is the one most prone to errors.  I see a lot of novice and junior competitors who get the loop but never get the flip or lutz at all, and I can think of just as many elite senior competitors who are/were stronger on edge jumps than the toe jumps.  I think it depends on the skater and the coaching they get.  In any case, with only anecdotal evidence and no references or specific statistics to cite, this kind of generalized assertion doesn't belong in Wikipedia.  Dr.frog 04:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comparative difficulty of loop jump 

message: rt.com claims: "Russian youngster Adeliya Petrosian became the first female figure skater to perform a quadruple Rittberger in competition as she appeared at the Russian Cup in the city of Perm on Friday." I think I found the judges scores on the official results page. The first element was rated 4Loq+2T with -1.05 as GOE. 
I think the jump should not be mentioned in the article, because of the incomplete rotation (q) and the negative grade of execution score. But maybe there will be a 4Lo with full rotation and positive GOE in the near future. --Kallichore (talk) 19:24, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I want to point out that on December 25 2023 at the 2023 Russian Figure Skating Championships (results here) Petrosian showed 4Lo and (4Lo+2T) with positive GOE. So my posting from early December 2021 is outdated. The quad loop from Petrosian is mentioned in the ISU Figure Skating Media Guide 2022/23 (here). --Kallichore (talk) 19:39, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

I have added some remarks, and I think wikipedias neutrality might be affected.
* I disagree, I selected the links entirely based on their content, which I think is interesting to the reader. The problem often seen in Wikipedia is that editors leave a link to the company itself and not to specific information, that I would also consider just an ordinary commercial plug. Also your scientific encyclopedia also has 400 articles on the Simpsons and 20000 train station articles....... Cheers V8rik 16:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hans Dominik (Schutztruppe)

message: I machine translated this from the the corresponding article on the German Wikipedia. I then tried to rewrite much of the prose in real English as opposed to Babelfish garble. There are several passages where I couldn't make any sense of the machine translation, however, so the article is not pretty. I've listed it at Wikipedia:German-English translation requests/biographies, so hopefully someone who knows German will give it a look and iron out the wrinkles. — BrianSmithson 15:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Translation

message: Thanks for the translation, Something Wicked! I've changed a few things, and here are the justifications: I've tried to prefer German spellings for Kamerun (Cameroon) and Jaunde (Yaoundé). This follows standard practice in English-language histories of Cameroon. (The reasoning, I assume, is that Kamerun was a specific German colony, and Jaunde was founded as a German military station.) I'm fairly sure that the Wute of the German article are the Vute of the Adamawa Plateau. Other changes were extremely minor: deleting spaces between section headings and paragraphs, consolidating two sections to keep the table of contents clean, delinking simple dates, etc. Thanks again for the help with this, Something Wicked! — BrianSmithson 13:48, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's one foreign term remaining in the article that could use translation: Fahnenjunker. Anyone know what this means? A parenthetical English description would be helpful. — BrianSmithson 15:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for sorting out the things I overlooked! It's perfectly okay for me to have the German names of historic places, even more so if it follows usual WP policy. Now, as to the Fahnenjunker: Since the days of Wilhelm II, German officer cadets were called Fahnenjunkers, alluding to junkers (sons of rural aristocrats) carrying the flags of their units. (see information on the Bundeswehr homepage  ) Nowadays, it's the corresponding rank for Officer Cadet (I suppose) in the Bundeswehr (see German Army rank insignia for further elaboration on the subject).

Talk:Flavor text

message: Is it a violation of fair use to use a sample image from a collectible card game as a representative image of flavor text?  I ask because fair use legality sometimes is related to whether the image is being used along with an article discussing the content in question, i.e. it's fair use to use an image from a CCG in an article about the CCG, but perhaps not in another context.  If it is a violation, it's a simple matter to yank the image. -- Slordak 16:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I have removed the related author/editor note. In my review of the previous editors, there are several, rather than just one editor. One editor did post on this talk page that they had met Miller, but clearly is not his family. Other editors seem to specialize in Boy Scout content and are not related based on their bios and geographic locations. I have gone through and removed any content that was not sourced, including his DOB. I also found and added better sources as much of the content relied on a resume shared by the BSA but that I believe may have originated with the subject of the article. Ideally, all content from this source should be removed or matched with a better source but I left some for now as Wikipedia is a process. I suspect there are more newspaper articles that would be independent of the BSA. Furthermore, the feature article that I found in the BSA magazine is compelling as to his possible notability.
