Talk:Grey-headed woodpecker

message: The link to African grey headed woodpecker given on this page gets a circular redirect; but the Latin binomial given for the species (Dendropicos spodocephalus) redirects to Grey Woodpecker, where however a different Latin species name is given.  From an external link in the Grey Woodpecker article, it looks like there's been some reclassification.  Would someone who knows more about this stuff than me care to put it right? N p holmes (talk) 12:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been some reclassification in 2014, but that did not actually concern Dendropicos spodocephalus; that was just a wrong redirect, should have gone to Eastern grey woodpecker. Fixed now, with added note on P. canus triple split. I have removed the merge template as there really is no factual basis for a merge :) -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:04, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

message: No its not slang, its a form of oppression used to make people without the ability to work go and commit suicide, those whom use such terms are generally attempting to incite suicides in the community.
'dole bludger' stereotype is a myth portrayed by the well-off (those with jobs) against the metal health of those in less fortunate positions of power.  Another bit of slang used by such is 'no better dignitary then a job'.
Whats missing from wikipedia is a tally of people committing suicides after they have been somewhat 'brain washed' by the media, political parties, and the community whom endorse such statements with little or no realisation of the harm such statements have caused.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.18.91.167 (talk) 13:20, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:2007 Cricket World Cup squads

message: Do we really need all the info about DoB, # of ODIs, First class team?   It seems to me that they can be found on the individual player pages and this is just repetition.  In addition, having # of ODIs duplicates work for editors, since this is already having to be updated in the Infobox of each player page.  Thoughts?  --Dave. 12:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the number of ODIs is supposed to be correct as at the start of the cup (as is teams), so there's really not that much extra work involved. I based it on 2006 FIFA World Cup squads, which seems to have worked rather well. Sam Vimes | Address me 11:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Isn't it a bit misleading putting First Class teams and then "Warwickshire Wonders" (or whatever they happened to be called) underneath, as this would imply that the limited overs team play first class cricket - if you see what I mean. Pedantry I know but I think it'd be better off having a blanket "domestic" title, or perhaps List A, but certainly not First Class as the World Cup is a one-day affair, so FC doesn't apply. Unless anyone disagrees? Tony2Times 22:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Parking here for now; review can be found on page 92: [| World War II Qaurterly. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:33, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Review of ''Death of the Wehrmacht'' 

message: One sentence of criticism of Citino's work has been added to this page, and it is not very effectively integrated into the overall article. Also the source is not very reliable, from the "New York Journal of Books," which has a stock wordpress page for their website (it's an online only publication), and a very small following on social media/general web presence. The author of the book review from which this criticism stems is not provided on website. The review is very polemical, and takes a few quotes from Citino out of context and then rails against him for some perceived politicization. It doesn't strike me as a review from a professional historian, or expert in the field, but again it's impossible to say because no author's name is given. I'm going to remove the sentence for now, I think having a section on criticism and scholarly appraisal of Citino's work would be valuable, but it needs better sourcing than a glorified blog.

Talk:Cochinita pibil

message: To quote Wikipedia itself:
"Instruction manuals. While Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places, and things, Wikipedia articles should not include instructions or advice (legal, medical, or otherwise), suggestions, or contain "how-to"s. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides, and recipes. Note that this does not apply to the Wikipedia: namespace, where "how-to"s relevant to editing Wikipedia itself are appropriate, such as Wikipedia:How to draw a diagram with Dia. If you're interested in a how-to style manual, you may want to look at our sister project Wikibooks."
Could people please stop reverting the page so that the recipe keeps coming back? There is already a link to http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Cochinita_pibil on the page in a very Wikipedia-agreeable template which links to the Cookbook on Wikibooks, which is where the recipe should be. A recipe should not be on this page. Sorry. End of. --Andyroo316 04:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, yes, yes, some policy says to delete something but you aren't paying attention.  You wouldn't be getting reverted (by bots even) if you weren't so blatantly deleting huge chunks of information besides the recipe.  In this diff you didn't just delete the recipe, you deleted the interwiki links and categories AS WELL AS why that particular version of the recipe was notable (its appearance as a plot point in a major movie, and then the how-to as a special feature of the DVD).  The article is better off with a recipe and a lot of text than deleting huge chunks without paying attention.  Slow down.  Read what you're editing.  Be surgical.  Replace what you can.

Talk:Tucson Gem & Mineral Show

message: No, it is not cut and paste and yes some of this information is on our website -- www.tgms.org --  My name is Patricia McClain, the Administrative Manager for the Tucson Gem and Mineral Society, Inc.  I have been a member of the Society for 35 years and can be reached at -- show@tgms.org --  And we are trying to STOP the misinformation regarding the fact that people constantly misuse our name, when they don't have the right to use the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show TM, which has been registered to the Society since 1963.  The reason that the City of Tucson calls the event "Tucson Gem Mineral and Fossil Showcase" is because even they can't use our name and it refers to all 40/49 shows.  We are not happy that the term Tucson Gem and Mineral Show TM is being use as if it refers to all of the shows, when it does not.  I would like to open our own page under the correct name and the current page title be changed to Tucson Gem Mineral and Fossil Showcase.  But if the title remains "Tucson Gem & Mineral Show" and you would like to work with us, then the information has to be about us first then we can talk about the other 40/49 separate venues.  I apologize for not understanding everything that I should about how Wikipedia works, but I have opened an account for TGMS and will learn more.     — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.172.87.13 (talk) 18:25, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: I was incorrect in one sense, the listing does have a listing of external links. The real problem is the redlinking. The WP guideline WP:RED says "Add red links to articles to indicate that a page will be created soon or that an article should be created for the topic because the subject is notable and verifiable." None of the redlinks here is going to get an article simply because we have sources that note the elevations and locations.  – S. Rich (talk) 14:31, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:List of federal ministers of food, agriculture and consumer protection (Germany)

message: I offer two reasons for the proposed merger:
# The articles contain essentially the same information (with two differences--see below), but the format of List of Federal Ministers for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (Germany) is more organized.  The two differences b/w the articles are:
##List of German agriculture ministers has a section for "Ministers of Food, 1918-1945", which is missing from List of Federal Ministers for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (Germany).
##List of Federal Ministers for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (Germany) provides information on the exact dates of taking/leaving office and party affiliation, which List of German agriculture ministers does not.
#The title List of German agriculture ministers does not clarify whether this refers specifically to agriculture ministers of Germany, in which case the title might be something like "List of agriculture ministers of Germany", or to agriculture ministers of German descent.

Talk:Comox-Strathcona Regional District

message: The reason I say that is because if it's the case this RD is now split, its successor articles are high priority, and this one should say what those are in the paragraph saying it was being done away with/split.  And to me, even unwritten defunct regional district articles should be mid importance; I was raised in the long-standing Dewdney-Alouette Regional District - which had existed so long that "Dewdney-Alouette" became the operative name for the region north of the Fraser and east of the Pitt, to Lake Errock and Chehalis; there's really no other for the north bank of the Fraser, in fact.  Anyway, it and others all need articles, and as hstorical items they are mid importance.  Another consideration with shifting/splitting RDs is all the articles currently linked to this one need to be revised, whether for category or content; so while this article itself is not as high or even mid priority as its successors, there's still heaps of work to do as a result of its partition..
