Wikipedia talk:Beware of the tigers

message: I think the tiger is a bit too majestic of an animal to be used to describe a certain class of "passionate" editors, and some may actually take pride in the idea. It should perhaps be redefined a bit. --DanielCD 15:47, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting. I was using the tiger as a metaphor for strong opinions, not the holders of the opinions. What sort of phrasing change would you suggest to make that clearer? Thanks, -- William Pietri 18:21, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I think I misunderstood the intention. I was referring to those who both have strong opinions and also defend them negatively and irrationally with extreme emotion (and personal attacks). I can see, though, that a tiger could very well be apt to descripe strong opinions themselves. --DanielCD 23:03, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Historian with humble origins 

message: Spymaster, a book written by former CIA agent Tennent H. Bagley based on his interviews with the retired KGB Berlin rezident Sergey Kondrashev mentions the latter’s distaste at being asked to work with senior Nazis who were Soviet assets during the postwar period. Most of the references don’t mention names but identify places and branches of the RSHA. Bagley notes the Kondrashev was quite cagey about topics which might embarrass the security services of his country, but he does mention a former Gestapo officer who was very senior, who worked closely with Franz Huber and whom the allies believed to have died in Berlin in 1945.
This would seem to point to Muller, but it is a single source, and a lack of other likely candidates isn’t equivalent to an explicit identification. Also, it isn’t unknown for spies to be surprisingly credulous with regard to the conspiracies of their opposite numbers. Is this worth including with explicit caveats or is it too far in the direction of here-say and conjecture? 2.103.66.247 (talk) 09:32, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sayumi Michishige

message: Can anyone verify that there was a controversy with the number of bikini photos in her photobook? I say this because in some of the Japanese girlie magazines that I've seen (shaddap!) there are bikini photo layout of teenage models mixed in with the ones of nude and topless models.  Double standard since the controversy involves a MoMusu member, maybe? --CJ Marsicano 15:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the controversy was actually directed at the whole 6th generation (excluding Fujimoto) since the most likely photobook to create a controversy is the 6th gen photobook (HELLO!X2), which has a fair share of bikini photos. The thing I really don't get is why the controversy would be targeted specifically at Michishige since Tanaka is younger and Kamei isn't that much older. Her solo photobook was published over a year later so it wouldn't really be "Shortly after joining". Also asuming the 6th gen PB is the PB in question Michishige's age is wrong. The PB was published just 2 days after her 14th birthday. I'd actually consider omitting this piece of information especially since it isn't verified. --Janihan 23:54, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Isaac Bashevis Singer

message: This article has been a subject of a media piece here which reveals what inappropriate canvassing has taken place here (likely in the section(s) above). It describes how the now-blocked User:IBSLiteraryTrust learned how to game the system: "“The administrators on Wikipedia were not interested in upholding what might be factual information,” IBSLiteraryTrust said in a recent interview. “Their main concern was that people should play by their rules. To me, that kind of game is not a game worth playing.” Then he reconsidered. “It’s not a game worth playing alone,” he said." Then IBSLiteraryTrust "recruited help through Facebook; others came from Twitter. Someone would edit the first line to add the word Jewish... The final decision, based on a consensus... was to identify Singer in his entry’s first sentence as Jewish, not Polish." - that's an obvious violation of WP:CANVASS and WP:TAGTEAM, achieving a "consensus" through recruiting SPA and opinionated voters. Given this, the RfC above has to be considered invalidated and the issue at hand should be restored back to an earlier version, before the disclosed canvassing took place.

thread_title: Project Assessment

message: I came across this article and have re-assessed it. The B-class Assessment scale was never filled out, so the old assessment was never official. I have rated the article as Start-class and note the following deficiencies:
* References - The article is sorely lacking in references.
* Coverage - The history is adequate, but it stops at the Meiji Period. 
** More research needs to be done to trace the use of maps up to and through WWII. 
** It could be mentioned that modern maps of towns and cities in Japan depict individual property boundaries and even the family names of owners, so they can be used as a public directory. This practice departs sharply from Western (or at least American) maps where privacy is considered of paramount importance.
* Supporting materials - There should be images of some of the older maps. One per section would be ideal, though it may get cluttered. At least one for every significant period and/or major innovation in cartography.
Good luck. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:41, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  WP:Japan Assessment Commentary 

message: I do not examine the whole article in detail, but I found that at least the section of Gyōki-zu, added by  in 2006, is highly problematic. It is a consensus in academics that the traditional attribution of Gyōki-zu to Gyōki is unfounded, just like the attribution of the Iroha poem to Kūkai. For a nice survey of previous cartographic studies, see Ryū no sumu Nippon 龍の棲む日本 by Kuroda Hideo 黒田日出男 (2003). --Nanshu (talk) 13:15, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Any chance to include details for the office maintaining maps at the present? It could be how gaihōzu was incorporated to present day maps by Geospatial Information Authority of Japan.

message: On a more mundane note, Loomis did make some real progess in Dental technology, being one of the first (if not the first) to demonstrate that a properly fitted dental upper plate could be retained in the mouth by moisture and suction alone instead of the large springs and other devices used at the time.

thread_title:  link not found 

message: The article's statement that "The lack of independent witnesses or detailed technical descriptions has made it difficult to make a conclusive analysis of Loomis's various assertions and ideas. During this era the common practice for verifying that a system was working as advertised was to post observers at each end of a communication link, sending their own messages and making public reports."
Had the following reference removed on 2 April 2023, presumably because it was considered commentary more appropriate for the article's Talk page:
"Examples of the types of comprehensive demonstrations held to prove the successful operation of early communications systems to a doubting public include: the release of a detailed transcript of messages transmitted in August 1858 by the first transatlantic telegraph cable ("The Atlantic Cable", History, Theory, and Practice of the Electric Telegraph by George B. Prescott, 1860, pages 185–206); McClure Magazine's onsite representatives documenting an 1899 radiotelegraph link established by Guglielmo Marconi across the English Channel ("Marconi's Wireless Telegraph" by Cleveland Moffett, McClure's Magazine, June 1899, pages 99–112); and an August 1902 demonstration staged for the Los Angeles Herald to prove that a radiotelegraph link between the mainland and Catalina Island, California was operational.("'As It Was in the Beginning'" by Robert H.

thread_title:   Café cortado or just cortado? 

message: In Australia we have a coffee beverage called a "flat white" which is made with espresso and steamed milk is added.  This sounds similar to the description of a cortado except the ratio of coffee to milk varies according to how strong a coffee is desired.  The result is a milky coffee without foam.  A cortado would be a "flat white" with the proportions coffee to milk of 1:1 to 1:2. A cafe con leche probably would result by increasing milk proportion.
00:27, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:   Comparison to Australian Flat White 

message: Not an expert, just spanish guy, but... cortado is really more similar to capuccino than to a macchiato? I would say that a macchiato is just like a cortado with foam, just as a capuccino is like a "Café con leche" with foam... well, at least in the total amount of liquid! Maybe in proportion is different... normally, a cortado is a spresso with a short drop of milk (more coffee than milk)
About the glass cup with metal wire... that is mainly fashion, or depending on the bar. They have bigger ones for cafe con leche or tea, too. Small glass glasses or ceramic cups are quite general for cortado.

message: I have two issues with the phrasing of 'coffee or espresso'. First and most obviously espresso is coffee and so this is a (somewhat bizarre) false dichotomy. Secondly, the vast majority of coffee drunk in Spain is espresso coffee (there are numerous sources for this) and ordering a cortado implies espresso coffee.
The two existing references for this section are American publications reporting on Americanisations of coffee drinks. Therefore these and inapropriate as sole or definitive evidence on the nature of this Spanish drink.
