Talk:The Phone Home Game

message: Golden-road.net now has posted a radio interview with Roger Dobkowitz in which he states that Phone Home was retired because a) it timed long, and b) it was not considered popular enough with viewers to keep around.
:Well and as Steve said, I'm sure the general end of home viewer contests had something to do with it as well. They just simply didn't have the time to do 6 games, 2 showdowns, the showcase and advertising home viewer contests in one show. And yes, there's no way to confirm this but I bet that, on average, this was the longest game to play or close to it (Superball! was probably close to it). Just the whole saying hi to the person at home and having them chat a bit with the stage player took significant time. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 12:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Neale, County Mayo

message: This text needs a source to remain in the article:
:The etymology of the name of 'The Neale' dates back to the middle ages, or so many historians believe, and is a fascinating piece of history that is often debated by prominent historians.  An Éill pertains to the legend of the believed leprechaun of the same name.  It is said that An Éill was sexually explicit and very promiscuous.  The story goes that a small nomadic tribe of practicing circus performs were camping near An Éill's dwelling, and  many of the young female performers, mostly contortionists, were practicing.  An Éill happened apon these young women, one of them was the ringmaster's daughter, the widley known performer Sally Hann(modern translation).  The legend tells that An Éill was so taken with Hann that he gave up his pot of gold to Hann's father in exchange for her hand.  However, Hann was so distraught at the thought of losing her beloved circus family that she told An Éill that she would take her own life if her the rest of the performers did not stay.  An Éill was so in love with Hann that he gave up his powers and luck to place a curse on the circus performers, causing them to bend in the spine (such as the dowagers hump condition).  This condition made it impossible for the performers to travell and perform any more, forcing them to stay and establish a town.  The town was named after the leprechaun by the ex-performers, as anyone who dwelt in the town for too long developed the spinal condition, thus it was named An Éill(The Neale) in reference to the curse that the leprechaun placed on the town.

Talk:University of Richmond

message: According to intuition and google, the school is in Richmond, Virginia. But... look at the address on the institution's website, e.g., https://www.richmond.edu/ (scroll to the bottom). You'll find "University of Richmond, Virginia" across the website. Not "Richmond, Virginia." What gives? Cka3n (talk) 18:43, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: "University of Richmond, Virginia" is the mailing address as the university has its own zip code (23173) served by a U.S. Postal Service contractual post office on campus. Postal addresses do not necessarily correspond to physical location, and the main campus is primarily located within the Richmond city limits with small portions on the periphery in neighboring Henrico County. "University of Richmond, Virginia" is an artificial construct for the convenience of getting mail to the university, not an actual political/administrative subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia. (Side note: The USPS actually prefers that simply "Richmond" be used when addressing mail to 23173, but there is a long history of "University of Richmond" being used which is a hard habit to break.)

message: While it does seem to be true that Y haplogroup G is found in rather high percentages (for G, 8%) in Switzerland, the main clusters of G there do not seem to match those found in Tuscany. In particular, the G2a3b1a-L140* DYS388=13 main cluster which is extremely common in the former Germania Superior seems to have a very different distribution from the other subclades of G2a found in Italy south of the Alps, but has close matches in England. No one ever said that the Etruscans settled in large numbers around  Strassbourg. This section is inaccurate according to the latest evidence.

Template talk:Infobox feature on celestial object

message: Hello!
I tried to translate this template to Turkish, but there is still an issue that I cannot find out. When I watch this template's site here, I see the  part on the right top above the white line. On the Turkish site, however, this "name" does not appear. Perhaps as a result of this, the only page that is using this template on the Turkish Wikipedia, Sputnik Planum, does not have the header displayed. Can you help me finding out what I have forgotten while translating it? The template does not show any missing templates used. Thank you in advance! (By the way: I think one of the immature parts of the Wikimedia projects are the templates; I think that there should be a place called Wikitemplates (like Wikidata), where all the templates are created in English. This would make the translation process easy by creating a language stub.)--Sae1962 (talk) 09:29, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translating this template 

message: Seeing as this template intends to be a catch-all for astronomical surface features, there are a few changes I believe would improve the infobox in conveying information concisely:
* Add a separate parameter for celestial objects - normally, this is included under the "location" parameter. However, I would argue that which celestial object the feature is located on is significant enough to readers to warrant a separate parameter; and that the current situation can violate the concise recommendation at H:IB. Particularly egregious examples of this are features which are located within several regions or quadranges, such as Utaridi Planitia, which straddles three quadrangles of Mercury.
* Change "peak" to "height" - This is a minor one, but this is primarily to be consistent with the "depth" parameter. More importantly, "peak" can/is used on features where the idea of a single peak does not necessarily apply (e.g. plateaus, highlands, etc.), and this may cause confusion to readers.

:Here's the advice part: 1) A passage on mimesis would be a great addition to this article. However, it should be written specifically for this article, in your own words 2) the book reviews should be written in a way that is far more factual.  For instance, this: 
::While the book might be slightly challenging to read, given the sophistication and obscurity of Taussig’s language, it is a piece full of valuable anthropological accounts and strong philosophical thinking that gives us comprehensive X-ray of our society. It is work committed to humanity.
:violates Wikipedia's policies on content (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:No original research).

message: I removed "Fused glass consists mainly of silica." because it is overly simplistic and potentially confusing. All glass is largely made of silica. The sentence suggested this applied only to fused glass. The whole subject of the constituent materials of glass is a very large and complex one, better delt with elsewhere unless, "Fused glass" uses specific types of glass, the exact chemistry of which is known. I am pretty sure this is not the case, but am open to correction. If that were the case then it needs it's own section here in any case.--Morrisque (talk) 11:59, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Constituents of Fused Glass 

message: Re "Fusing began to regain popularity in the early part of the 20th century, particularly in the U.S. during the 1960s." 
This sentence is too generalized and is contradictory. The 60's were not the "early" 20th century !!
If the writer is including "pate de vere" in "Fused glass" then that would fall into the "early part of the 20th century". If so then "pate de vere" should be mentioned in the opening definition and examples and references given. If consensus is that it should be included then I can help. If not, then that should also be stated. 
As to the 60's ?? revival, I believe it was earlier than that when the Higgins' started. As the most notable exponents of "Fused glass" they should be mentioned as should Heaton. I am currently involved with several other sections of the Glass Project and as a Brit I know only the sketchiest outlines of these artists.

message: While there are several references to polling in this article, all are to polls which are 17 years old or older. More recent polls are excluded. Wellington Bay (talk) 19:47, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The article should include the polls. The article is not comprehensive without it and readers should expect to be told whether monarchism is a majority or minority view. At present there's no obvious indication of how much support there is for monarchism, which is a flaw in the article. Celia Homeford (talk) 09:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I don't think this article needs or necessarily should have any polling information as we already have an article for the Debate on the monarchy in Canada where polling trends would form a logical critical component. This article is about the monarchist movement in Canada, not about the debate as to whether Canada should be a monarchy. Clearly 100% of the monarchist movement believes Canada should be a monarchy in some way shape or form, and clearly there would be opposition to that, but this article isn't about popular sentiment or republicanism. Again, we already have articles for republicanism in Canada, and another for that debate. So, I would therefore recommend that all polling be removed from this article entirely and instead placed in articles whose topic actually includes the debates illustrated by that data. trackratte (talk) 14:52, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
