Talk:Half-smoke

message: Be careful with opinion statements (WP:NPOV) and "weasel words" like "the general consensus of the finest" and "arguably the most renowned." It's probably okay since you have references (WP:V), but it might be better to reword objectively (see WP:POV for guidance). -- 14:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Watch unintended POV statements ...

message: Wow, I hope I didn't just walk into a firestorm here. I just added a sub-section called "Popular culture" and recounted an exchange I saw on Meet the Press this morning. I now see there has been a... um contentious debate over the inclusion of Ben's Chili Bowl. For the record, like Obama, I didn't know what a half-smoke was and came here to look it up. Upon reading the article I added this section because I thought it was interesting. I do not work for this company; I live in Ohio. Also, for the record, I referenced my quotes with inline citations from the Meet the Press transcripts. The word famous came directly out of Gregory's mouth.

text: *I concur. It's not relevant to the food, and I doubt it would even be relevant to the politicians involved. Yngvarr (t) (c) 13:15, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

text: As I put on the editor's talk page I don't know what he is referring to because the link is dead. But WP:NOT#NEWS only applies to articles not information within an article & WP:NOTNEWS is an essay and per WP:ESSAYS essays do not count for anything more than an opinion. Basing a deletion on an essay is similar to basing a deletion on one's own opinion, "I'm deleting this because I don't want it here" (more or less). For example if the edit violated a policy then that policy could be used to justify a deletion. But if the edit violated a guideline then the guideline can only "advise" conduct ("guidelines are more advisory in nature"). Finally essays do not carry any weight what so-ever.

thread_title: Citations

message: I feel a discussion on cord clamping should be discussed.  Many parents and doctors freak out when they see the umbilical cord wrapped around the child's neck.  What they don't realize is that the child is okay and still receiving blood and oxygen through the cord!  Yet their first instinct is to cut the cord and resucitate the child in another room.    
Studies show that the cord can pulsate and send blood and oxygen to the child for up to 20 minutes after birth.  Cutting the cord before it has stopped pulsating will harm the child.  This harm may not be seen until later in life (see the recent explosion in ADHD, Autism, and Cerebral Palsy, all of which are linked to immediate cord clamping).  www.noclamp.com
I work with Doctors who see nuchal cords all of the time, to say that they freak out is doing them a disservice.

thread_title: Show vs Not Show

message: In this edit I grouped similar lists - e.g., take the two similar, long names
National longevity recordholders · Living national longevity recordholders
and condense them to 
National longevity recordholders (living)
Which has the advantage of making it clear what the distinction between the two lists is (one is all record holders, the other is for those currently living - don't have to read a bunch of duplicate words to figure that out).  Reducing the wordieness and grouping similar items helps make the template shorter, easier to read, and easier to distinguish items.

message: The text 'has continued to play at special performances as an "alumni" of the band' needs to be corrected to read either
'has continued to play at special performances as an "alumnus" of the band'
OR
'has continued to play at special performances as an "alumni" [sic] of the band'.
If "alumni" (which is plural) is just a mistake (as it refers to only one person), please make the former correction. If it's an intentional preservation of a mistake from an earlier source, it needs the "[sic]". I could not make the correction myself because I didn't know which correction to apply. It could even be "alumna" if Greg Weitzel is female, which, based on names, seems doubtful.76.8.67.2 (talk) 05:51, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Temperatures Rising

message: Temperatures Rising is a sitcom that I liked a lot when it originally aired in the United States on the ABC network back in the early 1970s.  Although it has yet to be made available commercially on DVD I have been able to obtain some episodes via a private source.  I still think its a funny show and would like to see it brought back into circulation.  My interest in the series inspired me to learn as much as I can about its history.  Thus I have spent the last few years accumulating a large amount of information about the series (mainly vintage newspaper articles). Using this information I re-wrote and greatly expanded this article several months ago and attempted to elevate it to FA status.  Although four reviews supported the article two others opposed it.  The claim of these latter two was that the text was "not engaging" and needed reworking.  I found this somewhat surprising because I had some friends who are published authors look it over.  They told me that the article was fine.  One of the opposers also stated that the article is incomplete because it lacks a production section (i.e. information about production schedules, writers, directors, and other "behind-the-scenes" personnel).  This is true, unfortunately, because my sources do not cover this information and what is available on the internet is not reliable.  Thus no consensus for promotion was reached and the article was not promoted.
The logical step now seems to try to achieve GA status.  If anyone can make suggestions on how to improve this article please feel free to over up any that you have.  (Also note that some of the episodes are available for viewing on YouTube).  Thanks. Jimknut (talk) 20:41, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Prior to signing a contract of sale, the owners informed all employees and offered to attempt to secure employment with other theatres in the area for any employees who wanted it; many did, and continued as ushers and managers through the actions on their behalf by the owners at the time of the sale, Marvin and Ronald Goldman. To have stated otherwise is to tarnish the unsullied reputations of both Goldmans and make it appear that they were uncaring about the lives of their employees, which is far from the truth.

replies: text: Your comment is not accurate. I worked for the Goldman'who owned The theater is after Fred Kogod passed away. Not only is it not accurate but it's actually slanderous. The Goldman's were the most genuine, empathetic and accommodating people I've known. They didn't see skin color, religion or gender. They gave everybody a chance and promoted from the bottom all the way to the top anybody that showed them management material. There were managers that worked with them for decades. They had employees at their funerals 20 plus years after the theaters closed, that is not congruent with your ridiculous statements. Read their obituaries they're comments from employees about what wonderful people they were. And the 1992 business deal was dirty and Mr Goldman suffered not only financially But his cancer got worse which he eventually perished from. He did his best to accommodate for everyone but he was bed ridden and got royally screwed in the business deal. They were able to hold on to a few theaters after the deal and transferred employees and managers over to those theaters. Your claims are false, how do I know ??? Why am I an expert because I worked for them In their Yuma office I was on the payroll for over 20 years. I worked in the actual office In human resources and grosses. Don't tarnish the KB legacy. Those theaters brought many people joy, not only as patrons but as an employees, they were a major company in the DC area ..that brought a lot of families together. 2603:9001:6B00:637F:EAE8:25DB:975:B1D2 (talk) 23:50, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
