Talk:Lou Reed (album)

message: I really like the "Cross-Reference" box, with its "Remarks" section. Let's keep that! It's "Good Article"-type stuff.
Thing is, Lou Reed is a relatively poor album and an overall failure, in many people's opinions, including mine (and I'm a BIG Lou Reed fan!) so this article isn't likely to get a lot of attention. But there's no shame in having a great article about a mediocre piece of work.
I think if everybody who cares gives the Lou Reed articles a little TLC, some of them could achieve "Good Article" status. Just like some of Lou's albums are great American masterpieces of songwriting. I think Reed is every bit as important as Pink Floyd (let me be honest: He's more important; more artistically influential and personally intriguing), and look at the attention they get on Wikipedia!
That's about it -- I could talk about the album itself for a few paragraphs, but that's not the purpose of these Talk pages. Good work, contributors, and I hope to contribute positively to some Lou Reed articles myself, before the year is over.

Talk:SAO Kninska Krajina

message: SAO Kninska Krajina was declared by the terrorists that killed Croatian people and thus managed to empty the area by the force of fear. Throuht the period 1991-1995 people in this region were killed and disapeared through night. Catholic churches in the region were leveled (in Petrinja the church of St. Lovro, and St. Kate) in attempt to erase any proof of existance of non-Serbs. Houses of Croats were burned, foundations destroyed with explosives with vision of never allowing Croatians to return to their villages and towns. Needless to say the ocupation of the region by the war lords and chetniks was devastating on both people and economy.
This article looks like content forking. No references. Unless any references given, this should be merged to article SAO Krajina. Kubura (talk) 07:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Today, however, was the first time I've ever gutted a Wikipedia page and I need some assistance kind of rebuilding the page. The stuff I deleted was very outdated and was no longer relevant, but I don't know where to go from here. I have lots of history to document, I just don't know how to set things up.

Please be patient with the alumni section and don't go and destroy it. I;m going at it alone and I can only do so much.
As for the article itself, I'm working on writing that up and I will soon overhaul the whole page. Life is just a little stressful as of now, and I'm doing the best I can. First, I'll start with clubs and organizations and then I'll work on history, awards, sports, etc.

Talk:Kaipara Harbour

message: is quoted as 530 sq km or 330 mi (not sq mi) - but 530 sq km is about 200 (not 330) sq mi. What is the correct area??
:Te Ara gives it as 500 sq km, so I'll change it to that so it's referenced. That doesn't mean the original figure of 530 sq km is wrong, since measurements of a bay are going to change depending on whether you take high- or low-water figures, and I imagine the mudflats would change a bit over the years too.-gadfium 07:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Area of Kaipara Harbour

message: The Wikipedia article currently states that Kaipara Harbour has an area of 500 sq km and a shoreline of 3,200 km. The citation given for this is Te Ara - the Encyclopedia of New Zealand. Te Ara, in turn, seems to base its figures on Encyclopædia Britannica (or is it the other way round?) So here we have three distinguished encyclopædias all attesting that the area is 500 sq km and the coastline is 3,200 km long, and indeed these figure are quoted all over the web.
It is a curious figure, this coastline, given the area it encloses. It means that if you were to walk around the shoreline you would cover a distance equal to travelling the length of New Zealand and back. A casual look at the map suggests this is maybe a little exaggerated, even allowing for the convolutions of the Kaipara coastline. Still, given the fractal nature of coastlines, any length is possible. Anyway, I have replaced the values for both the area and the perimeter with those given by Heath in his 1975 paper.
I also wonder about the uncited figure of 4 km given for the width of the harbour entrance. If you check around the web, you will find values from 4 km to 9 km. But if you go to Google Earth and use the "length" tool, you can measure it for yourself. It is 6 km. So have changed that figure too, and added a citation. --Geronimo20 (talk) 10:11, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: No consensus on vfd vote

message: The old version was horribly POV and just talked about problems of countries in the region.  Not problems relating to the region exactly (except the Balkans).  I deleted it all (wise or unwise I don't know... ) and am not sure how to write about unifying problems?  Probably Mediterranean pollution, trade across the sea, etc.  But, what was there before was bad... I already made the unilateral change, and it can always be undone, but I don't think that article was a good starting point at all. gren 07:10, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I would have waited for new content, before torching the old stuff.  But, anyway, I wander if we can agree that new content should focus specifically on the coastal region.  There's little point of rehashing stuff about each country, that happens to touch the Mediterranean.  That stuff belongs in each country's own article.  And this isn't about the history of the larger region, as that's handled well in a seperate article.  Another article actually handles the sea itself.  I think this does a good job identifying the relevant region.  To avoid future mass-deletes, I would like to see some agreement about what should be here, before more time is invested by anybody. --rob 17:47, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
