message: The section which claims that the scene of the Nazgul slashing bedding is not in the book is not very accurate, but I hesitate to delete a section that has a screen capture next to it.  In the book it is quite clearly stated that the hobbit's beds were fixed up to appear as if they were present, and when they returned in the morning the bedding had been slashed apart.  I had always assumed that it was in fact the Nazgul who destroyed the room.
:You had always assumed wrong. It's a common assumption made by people who were introduced to the story through one of the film versions. But the Nazgul were never revealed as the perpetrators -- this is just the way Bakshi's animators had interpreted it. (Ibaranoff24 23:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

message: We have better plot summaries elsewhere in WP, don't really want to maintain two parallel accounts. It would be more useful to prune down just to the changes from the original story. BTW, as an accident of history I happen to be in possession of a 1979 calendar with film-related artwork, dunno if there is anything useful to be gleaned from it - there is no mention of "Part One" for instance (Who keeps an old calendar for 25 years!?

message: I have a question -- does anyone know what kind of limits Wikipedia has for the number of screen captures in an article about a copyrighted film? I might be going over the limit with the seven screen captures I currently have in the article, but I keep seeing these screen captures popping up in other articles after I've removed them from the article, and it's kind of my philosophy to take advantage of every possible use these screen captures have (if an image from this film is used on a page for the character, I try to have that image used in the article about the film as well). (Ibaranoff24 23:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, there's no precise number, it's just said to be "limited". I think you're OK at a rate of one per screenful of text, two per screenful (in other words, 2-3 visible at any one time) is dense but still OK, above that things get to be more image than text, and so starts to seem excessive. No galleries at the end either, galleries don't offer space for the "critical commentary" that is part of fair use. This just my guess, no one has written an actual guideline that I know of.

Talk:Apophatic theology

message: I was about to write a short section on Jacques Derrida's writing on and relationship to apophatic theology, and some subsequent theologians and philosophers who have expanded on this. However there's the slightly tricky problem here that, while Derrida is Jewish and the article has a section on Jewish apophaticism, most of said writers influenced by him are Christian; thus given the present structure of the article it wouldn't seem appropriate to place a section on Derridan apophatic thought in either section even though it is a rather pertinent topic here. Would appreciate any thoughts on this.

Talk:WBGH

message: ----
from VfD:
WBGH is a stubby article about WGBH, a fairly well-known Boston public television and radio station. Notice that the title is wrong (the letters G and B are transposed). WBGH provides only the address and phone number of the station (not even the television channel assignment or radio frequency), and a handsome-looking logo. We already have an OK article about WGBH. The rather handsome-looking "GBH" logo is either wrong or far out of date; it does not match the current logo which can be seen at http://www.wgbh.org . The article contains a link—to http://www.wbgh.org , the National Business Group on Health ("Creative health benefits solutions for today, strong policies for tomorrow"). I don't think anything on this page is worth merging into WGBH and I don't think WBGH is a common enough typo for it to be worth retaining as a redirect to WGBH.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Adelaide

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Talk:Thom Yorke

message: I would like to open the new page Dajana Roncione, but I cannot, because this Dajana Roncione is already a redirecting of the page Thom Yorke.
The reason is that, perhaps, that Dajana is the wife of Thom. But I don't think this "commercial redirecting" is correct; so I can open the page only with Dajana Roncione (actress). This can be a diplomatic solution, but I don't find correct to redirect a name with another name.
