Talk:Trapped in the Drive-Thru

message: An earlier version of this song was speedy-deleted, as it was basically an advertisement with no mention of notability and no sources. I hope to have corrected these issues and made a good article start. Ryanjunk 18:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Regarding the anonymous comment about a Led Zep sample; there actually is a bit of that song in this one. I'm not sure it's a particularly notable fact, nor do I think it's a "sample" per se; I believe it's Al's band playing a snippet of the song. But at least to know that the anon isn't just making things up. Ryanjunk 13:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this song really a single? I've been working on it for a while, and I've noticed, it never was released as a CD single, it never has charted.

Talk:Steve Thoburn

message: WP:BLP1E suggests that "[i]f reliable sources only cover the person in the context of a particular event, then a separate biography is unlikely to be warranted. Marginal biographies on people with no independent notability can give undue weight to the events in the context of the individual, create redundancy and additional maintenance overhead, and cause problems for our neutral point of view policy. In such cases, a redirect or merge are usually the better options. Cover the event, not the person."
While it comes from our policy on living individuals, I don't believe that Mr. Thoburn's death really changes any of that reasoning.  In fact, that he is no longer at liberty to do anything independent of the metrication battles suggests that it applies even moreso.  217.36.107.9 (talk) 16:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: Per WP:ELNO, the external links section of an article is not for compiling a comprehensive directory of links to every page you can find on the net that has relevance to the topic at all; it is only for the one or two most centrally important websites of the topic himself (i.e. almost never anything more than his own personal website and/or a database link like IMDb.)
The following links, therefore, might be suitable for integration as footnoted references for article content, but do not belong in the external links section. (Additionally, I've stripped several other ELs which linked to critical reviews of individual books — these are not appropriate either as external links or as references.) 
* article in Rediff (Indian Magazine) about Zimler, the Inquisition in Goa and his novel Guardian of the Dawn
*  Interview with Zimler in Tikkun magazine.
* Article in the Jewish Forward about Zimler and his work

Talk:Cycling at the 2008 Summer Olympics

message: Occasional press releases show that Kolobvev has not yet received the bronze medal, but that should not be the premise on which we post results here.  The IOC show silver as vacant and Cancellara as having bronze (confirmed using a search facility here).  BUT  the IOC requested the UCI to change the results, and the UCI did so.  Rebellin's last course of appeal failed ( in French: link to English version misrouted), so it seems that the body who have been asked to determine the results have done so, and there is no further likelihood of that changing.  It would appear that the IOC site has not caught up with events (note that it still shows Men's 1500m Gold from Beijing as vacant: suggesting that the site is simply not kept up to date very well), and if there is agreement that physical posession of the medal is not the issue, we would now be right in presenting Cancellara as 2nd and Kolobnev 3rd.

The story of the event is that, during a battle, a soldier is asked to deliver a message, and he jumps onto the back of an unfamiliar horse. For this, they randomly draw horses 20 minutes before the riding part of the event begins. That's why this was in Beijing, but all the Equestrian events were in Hong Kong.

() This full page article was recently deleted and redirected back here. Any chance the page can be put back up? Th reason why I split them, was that the volleyball article is insanely huge, so one has to search through huge chunks of volleyball information (which is uninteresting when searching for bvb) to catch a glimpse of some beach volley information. To me, the sports are different, but I guess they both are called only volleyball (indoor, or beach) when it comes to the Olympics. Maybe change the title an not call it 'Beach volleyball at the 2008 Summer Olympics' but 'Volleyball (beach) at the 2008 Summer Olympics', or what would make it OK to keep the other article?
