thread_title:  Untitled 

message: I don't know where else to bring this up, so I mentioned it here. Regarding version histories, I propose that all Articles on software applications, throughout Wikipedia, should display version histories in color-coded tables. The version history displayed in the Article on DreamWeaver has just such a table, and it's very helpful for any information on the history of the application. Thus, I propose that all other software application Articles should copy the DreamWeaver Article in this regard. Are there any other thoughts on the matter?

Talk:Brett Helquist

message: Brett Helquist is clearly notable but this article needs a lot of work to bring it up to Wikipedia's standards.  I've added a couple of third party references and a References list but the article needs to be expanded, rewritten in parts, more third-party references added and the Bibliography needs more information.--Plad2 (talk) 21:53, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:New Zealand diplomatic missions

message: I agree with the proposed merger — the pages obviously duplicate one another. (Easy enough to see how it happened — this one was created only a few days after the original). For purposes of standardisation, I suppose this is the best place to put the combined article, though — I've made an attempt at transferring material from the original to this one, and also added a section on history. -- Vardion 10:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hercule Poirot in literature

message: I have been doing some work on the chronology of Poirot's on the main Hercule Poirot page and think that the order given here is contentious. What is needed is really a full explanation of how the chronology can be assembled, using the retrospective references within the stories to show why one case must be after another. This is a big job, but would go some way to establishing the basis for what is given here. I have generally given intertextual references, where they exist, in the Trivia section of the pages on individual novels that I have edited. See also my comments on The Labours of Hercules on the other page. At the moment this is a very certain statement of a highly conjectural sequence. --Sordel 10:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright 

message: The list of publications in this article does not include her most famous and best-selling book, "Ten Little Niggers", also published in the USA as "And Then There Were None", in 1939.    Maybe the American title could be listed first, to tone down the "nigger" reference, which actually was much less offensive in the U.K. at the time.  But her most popular book certainly should be included in the list!  Wikipedia actually has an article under "And Then There Was None", so I suspect someone who was offended by the use of the word "nigger", as am I, simply deleted the reference in this list.

Talk:Ken W. Clawson

message: "He had a wife and a family and a dog and a cat." Hee. Leave that in, no matter how this article is expanded or changed. It's like the guy (or gal) who legitimately worked in the phrase "eats shoots and leaves" in the Giant panda article. Classic.
:I am pretty sure he didnt have a cat.  Dog yes.  Cat... um... pretty sure no...
::* Bob Woodward's book All The President's Men quotes Clawson as saying he had a cat. I'm putting it back.
:Where in the book does it quote this.  This is a line from the movie.  Also I have checked with family members he did not have a cat, and it is also not revelent to who he was or what he has done.  This is a bio, adding "he had a cat" does not add to his lagidity as a jornalsit or for his position with Nixon.  It makes him sound like he was a joke.
::Okay, I can understand your perspective, as a personal friend of the family -- However, I think this can be resolved. 
::Most Americans don't know who Clawson was. Those who do know, identify him primarily in connection with the "wife and a family and a dog and a cat" line. But why is he portrayed as saying that? Because he was distressed over the mistake he'd made. As part of CREEP's "ratfucking", he wrote a fake letter to make it look like Muskie slurred the Canadians and then bragged about it to a friend in the newspaper business -- someone who wrote for the very paper that he knew to be working on exposing the ratfucks. 
::This is your point -- that they think of him only in terms of one incident, overlooking the whole rest of his life. I agree that he was a lot more than that. Whatever good things he did in his life are just as worthy of inclusion as this one foolish mistake. Why don't you go ahead and fix up the article to talk about his life history and all his other accomplishments? The article as it exists is a stub. The more hard information it contains the less likely it will be that people will tolerate wisecracks like that. But that line is too good not to include some way. Therefore, I'm going to re-insert but contextualize it. See what you think of how I do it.   --Bluejay Young 19:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Guy Madison

message: The article makes several negative opinions about the actor's character and abilities.  As such, shouldn't they be framed as such instead of as "authoritative commentary"?  Example, "according to so-and-so, it was stated that ... his stable of good-looking, marginally talented actors."  The fact is that many in the public disagreed, otherwise Mr. Madison would not have received a contract and thousands of fan letters.  In addition, how does the author surmise the limitations were due to assumed limitations on the part of Guy Madison?  Could any fault lie with the fluff productions of the 1950's and early 60's, let alone possible production limitations or constraints placed on Henry Wilson or Vanguard Pictures?  Blanket, biased quips belong in press releases meant to stir up controversy to boost ratings, not serious biographical texts meant to present truth in context.  My suggestion is that the article take care to present more depth of content instead of painting a two-dimensional portrait.  A thorough biographical record of any human being should not be weighted toward negative - or positive - through subjective, opinion.  Present the facts in context, and opinions with thoughtful explanations as to the conclusions drawn.  Wikipedia should take more care with all biography articles because these deal with history, context, and the character of the subject.  Regardless of what we see on cable news, it is an injustice to distill the lives of human beings down to "entertaining gibes".  Tesseract501 (talk) 14:00, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Second inquiry.  The article still does not cite the reference or contextual validity for the opinions written.  Regarding the author's phrasing of "marginally talented" -- citations of source is needed, other wise the opinion should be removed.  In addition, all Wikipedia articles that indicate opinion when publishing articles about PERSONS should be called written with greater care and concern; consideration and respect for the reputation of individuals should be held to a high standard.  Using unreference and uncited terms such as "marginally" seems weasel-ly (wording that Wikipedia suggests should not be used in articles).  In doing so, it disparages the work of the actor -- an actor for whom thousands of fans and associates believe to have been a very good actor.  Tesseract501 (talk) 17:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I recall that Guy Madison starred in "The Command" which is supposed to be the first Cinemascope western and "Charge at Feather River" which was in 3D (and contains the "Wilhelm Scream" which was used in other movies thereafter).

Talk:Kummeli: Kultakuume

message: The Elonet entry cites Suomen kansallisfilmografia 12, identifying the following contemporary reviews in newspapers:
* Helena Ylänen, Helsingin Sanomat Nyt, 5 December 1997

* Tarmo Poussuka, Ilta-Sanomat, 4 December 1997
* Antti Selkokari, Aamulehti, 5 December 1997
In terms of access, these are tricky ones: I doubt the newspapers themselves have extensive online archives going back this far, but at the same time they are far too new to be readable from the online archive of the National Library of Finland.

Talk:David Durand

message: I have removed the following text from the article, as it is about an entirely different person, with a different name:
:"David G. Durand is a computer scientist known for his work with hypertext, version control systems, document engineering and markup languages. His undergraduate studies were at Brown University, and his Ph.D. (1999) at Boston University. He is currently Adjunct Associate Professor of Computer Science at Brown University."
The optimal solution would be to create a new article for this person David G. Durand and then, at the top of this article, add the following:
:This article is about the eighteenth-century British and French historian.  For the American computer scientist, see David G. Durand.
However, we don't usually do a blend of articles unless the individuals are known by exactly the same name (e.g. at Dorothea).  Geogre 11:34, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lye roll

message: Speciality? I can only speak for southern Germany, but here 'Laugenbrötchen' are availible in EVERY bakery and are in fact consumed more often than 'Brezeln'. 
Yes, I have never heard of "Lye Rolls" before. I want one.
I've seen larger versions of these in the Plano, Texas area back in the late 1990s.  I called them pretzel-bread because that's what they looked like: big soft pretzels in the shape of loaves.  I like "Lye roll" or maybe "Lye loaf" better, now that I've seen the term.  It seems more descriptive.  They were hard to get because they were very popular.  If I could get one, I'd cut it vertically into two pieces, then the two halves horizontally and put salami with mustard in between as a sandwich.  I see they do something similar in Germany with butter and unspecified cold cuts.  Here's the point for this discussion: Do they ever use mustard as I did?  I understood that mustard is a common condiment in Germany; is this not true? - Denimadept (talk) 14:25, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
