thread_title:  Possibly related 

message: A significant part part of the article is just a collection of randomly selected jokes without any indication of their relevance or importance, or encyclopedic value. There are hundreds of books - collections of Jewish humor, with thousands of jokes. An encyclopedic article must provide some kind of scholarly research. I am going to start deleting jokes not discussed in reliable sources (jokebooks are not reliable sources) as WP:UNDUE. Also, refenences to comedians' cracks are a no-go per WP:PRIMARY: primary sources must be used only to corroborate the research cited in wikipedia from secondary sources. Loew Galitz (talk) 22:38, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That seems perfectly reasonable. If you find classic jokes that seem like they *ought* to be in the article but are unreferenced and untagged, then you could (but don't have to) add a  tag instead. But anything unsourced may be removed (tagged or not), and anything that has been lying around for a long time unsourced should be removed. It will remain in the history if anyone wants to source it and add it back, although it would still have to pass the bar of relevancy and WP:DUE WEIGHT. Including a few examples in the article is a good idea, but too many is not; see WP:EXAMPLEFARM. As you say, the article should be encyclopedic, and sourced. Content that isn't, may be removed.

Talk:List of towns in Wisconsin

message: I realize that most of the towns listed are broken links. The question is how to clean them up. My intent is to re-arrange the current articles as follows:
*Town names go to a full name, including county. So Beaver Dam (town), Wisconsin will go to Beaver Dam Town, Dodge County, Wisconsin. (many names occur in multiple counties.)
: User:GUllman wan't the second entry to read  Beaver Dam (town), Dodge County, Wisconsin, since that's the standard disambiguation. See dicussion below.
*Actual cities and villages will go to their natural name. This means that Beaver Dam (city), Wisconsin will go to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. The U.S. Postal Service does a pretty good job at making sure these aren't duplicated.
*Any neighborhoods, unincorporated villages, or places without USPS mail service that are needed in Wikipedia will get Long Names if need for disambiguation. This would look like Place, X County, Wisconsin  if there was already an article for Place, Wisconsin. Otherwise they just go to the place, state slot. 
I wanted to give people a few days to comment on this structure before moving any articles. There is more discussion of this whole kind of issue on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Counties page. ... Thanks Lou I 16:31, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: Hi, this is a warning that the personal life information in this article is much too short. Any biography that is of GA standard must have at least one well organised paragraph describing the persons life outside of their field for which they are famous or otherwise incorporate that information elsewhere in the text. This article does not provide enough information on the person in question and does not give enough context for the incidents and information that is mentioned. For an example of how such a section might look, see Brian Urlacher and for pointers on how to expand and improve the section, see this guide. If this information is not improved then this article  would be unlikely to survive a Good Article Reassessment and may well be delisted in the future.

replies: text: It's simply because around the turn of the century, the word for a periodic function was "periodic", not "frequent".....so people searched for "periodicities", not "frequencies".

message: I would like to add something like this to the article:
: "Spectral analysis is a modernized version of periodogram analysis modified to take account of the stochastic nature of the entire time series, not just the noise component.

It refers to a "triple" victory.
