Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Electric universe (concept)

message: Something very interesting appears to have happened, I replied to the comment left by Trialsanderrors last night, yet the reply is no longer here, and in fact no longer shows up in the page history OR my contribution history.  How is that possible?  I KNOW I hit the Save Page button, as I later in the night went back to see if another reply had been made to my statement and what I submitted was definitely still there.  Something appears very fishy here, and this is not the first time I've seen some of my contributions simply disappear from wikipedia with no sign of history.  Oh well, as usual, there is nothing I can do to even prove that I left a message, since the history appears to have been altered and removed from the database.  Since it is pointless to point fingers and complain, I simply will paraphrase what I had typed: "Since this is a test case, then the article will not really be deleted?  You state that test cases are used to learn about community opinion that can be used to frame criteria, not to influence the debate itself.  Hence this is simply a blind test case, there is no intention to actually delete the article, data is simply being conducted by leading us to assume this is a real vote?"  That is pretty much the gist of what I had typed, and I will now add it beneath the comment that I was replying to, just above.  -Ionized 01:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's possible you hit the Preview button rather than the Save button, or that there was an Edit Conflict which didn't get resolved. However, it's extremely unlikely that any such comment was removed. I've read several of the admin boards for a few weeks now and it's apparently quite difficult to remove data from the wiki entirely [i]because[/i] the History keeps track of every edit, move and revision. Such a change requires very precise editing of the database that is only performed when an individual requests all their User information be removed from the database for privacy concerns. -- Kesh 01:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: There is absolutely no evidence that Rhian Ramos is a British citizen, so please stop trying to claim her as such. Besides, she was born and grew up in the Philippines and is a certified Filipino citizen. And when you say she is Filipino British, she is a British citizen of Filipino descent, so the category definitely doesn't apply to her.--Pinoy Pride 15:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Carronade Island

message: I rolled this version back to a version pre-dating the insertion of copyrighted material from "The Carronade Island Guns and Southeast Asian Gun Founding" by Jeremy Green. The best example of a copyright violation is the sentence "In July 1916, during a visit by HMAS Encounter, two bronze cannons were discovered by Commander C.W. Stevens and Surgeon Lieutenant W. Roberts on a small unnamed island.", a verbatim copy of a sentence in Green, which was in the version that I reverted. A number of other sentences were verbatim copies when first inserted, but have since been slightly rewritten, so that they now very similar but not quite identical.
I apologise to those editors (including me) who had subsequently edited the article, and whose edits have  been lost in my revert. Feel free to re-insert your own material, and, if you want, re-insert, in your own words, the information previously covered by the copyvio.

message: Hey - does anyone know if this take of "Farmer's Daughter" is the same one released as a bonus track on the 2004 edition of "Tusk"? Sure sounds the same - perhaps minus some reverb - but the "Tusk" reissue has no session information. Randy's Rodeo 23:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no official verification. There never has been. But fans can identify which songs were performed on which tours, which instruments were used on which tours, and even how the style of songs evolved from one tour to another, and the educated assumptions are widely accepted. On this album, MONDAY MORNING, SAY YOU LOVE ME, DREAMS, OVER MY HEAD, RHIANNON, and DON’T STOP were recorded on the 1977 tour and DON’T LET ME DOWN AGAIN was recorded on the 1975 tour.   172.250.144.214 (talk) 01:16, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: One more point about the additional tracks on the 2021 deluxe set: THE CHAIN is mislabeled as a 1980 performance (the mislabeling even predates the album release and showed up in marketing). It was recorded in Los Angeles in 1982 — it is nearly identical to the commercial release of the Los Angeles shows that year. There were two shows (Oct. 21 and 22). The commercial VHS and laserdisc performance (also released on the Mirage deluxe set) is from Oct. 21 and the performance from LIVE deluxe is from Oct. 22. 172.250.144.214 (talk) 01:22, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  eg 

message: When I came across this article, the version at the time here struck me as promotional with the following issues:
*Lack of infobox, indicating little attention from long-term editors
*Professional headshot, unusual for this kind of figure
*Extensive biographical detail without much sourcing to support it
*Extraneous detail about each and every film; while each film can be discussed, details belong on their articles
*Filmography lacked blue links and shared runtimes, which are unusual approaches
*Problematic awards table, a mix of indiscriminate and incomplete detail
*Indiscriminate list of awards and nominations, which seems like a WP:RESUME
*More "official" external links than needed
As a result, I've cut down a lot of unsourced and/or promotional detail in this article. There are numerous reliable sources about the filmmaker to have an encyclopedic article based on such sources and written intentionally for an encyclopedic tone. Here are a few:
*Lucy Walker: documentaries from the school of hard knocks
*Lucy Walker, Blindsight
*Profile: Lucy Walker - director of The Crash Reel
*British Women Film Directors in the New Millennium, pages 67-72
*Filmmaker: Take better care of our veterans
*‘Crash Reel’ Documentarian Lucy Walker Knows Where She’s Going
*Interview: Lucy Walker, director

Talk:William Watson (scientist)

message: The article in The North British Review (digitized by Google) initially mentions three published works:
*The Museum of Science and Art, edited by Dionysius Lardner, D.C.L., On the Electric Telegraph. Vol. III. and IV.
*:This work has been digitized by Google: Vol. III, Vol. III & IV (both 1854) and has 15 chapters on The Electric Telegraph (vol. III, pp. 113-208, vol. IV, pp. 1-144). However, all of the text focuses on the 19th century and makes no mention of Watson.
*Mémoire de [sur] la Telegraphie Electrique. Par M. Werner Siemens, (de Berlin,) Ancien Officer D'Artillerie. Paris, 1850. Pp. 48.
*:It would be reasonable to expect the original to be in German, and printed in blackletter. On Google Books, one finds Die electrische Telegraphie (1866). This short text (only 40 pages) starts with Volta (1800), Sömmering, Weber (1830s), and doesn't touch the previous century.
*Reports by the Juries of the Great Exhibition. Report of Jury X. London, 1850.
*:There is a volume titled Reports by the Juries: On the Subjects in the Thirty Classes... and sure enough, class X is "philosophical instruments", covering photography, the electric telegraph (p. 245), astronomical, naval and surveying instruments, and calculating machines. The very brief text mentions 1820 and Oerten (should be: Oersted), but not the 18th century.
It seems the information from 1747 is not taken from any of these three sources. 
More about Watson is found in the German Wikipedia's article. And in this article "Bishop Watson and the Electric Telegraph, in Journal of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, vol. 9, pp. 790-791. --LA2 (talk) 16:44, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

When adding a unit to the category, I have been following the convention of "Category:Military units and formations of the Korean War|SKCorps0002", where "SKCorps0002" signifies South Korea, Corps (type of unit), and 0002 for the numerical designator. Other type of units I've used have been InfDiv, InfReg, ArmDiv, etc. If anybody adds any new units, please look at what has been done with a similar unit as an example, it will help the overall sorting of this category's page by keeping a country's units together, etc. Thanks. wbfergus 16:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
