Talk:Members of the 38th Canadian Parliament and same-sex marriage

message: This article seems very long, and very dated.  Perhaps this should have been on Wikinews instead?  The raw facts, on who voted which way perhaps should be somewhere; but all the comments on each MP?  Where are the references for these?  Should the entire article be deleted with the vote-totals added to the Civil Marriage Act?  The last deletion discussion while this bill was still in progress, discussed how a lot of the comments, speculation, etc. would likely be removed after the vote was over.  Definitly time for a clean-up at least! Nfitz 01:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Scared to Death (1947 film)

:I just looked on the copyright notice within the film itself, and it's a transfer from such a poor print that I can't make out anything other than the last number is I, and the second-to-last may be a V or an X, or not. It's actually funny, the colour has held so poorly that the "green mask" throughout looks grey-blue. Anyway, I'v removed the 1941 references until I find something definitively against 1947.

thread_title:  Populartiy 

message: I recently had the pleasure of rewatching this movie, which brought back a lot of good memories.  One of them was the old TSR roleplaying game: "Cloak & Dagger" and the subsequent Endless Quest books under the same title.  I'd think this might be a coincidence, but between the opening scene resembling a role-playing game instead of a normal table top game, and all of the Dungeons and Dragons Material floating around in the background shots of the game store (There's a whole rack with little besides Player's Handbooks, and when the father takes away the son's games, you can clearly see The 1984 copy of the Marvel Roleplaying Game produced by TSR among other random cameos) this can't be a coincidence.  TSR was making a large push during this time to bring roleplaying games into the average American household, and though I personally can't prove they had a hand in shaping this movie, I'd think a little research would bring up some rather interesting results.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.130.128 (talk) 01:45, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Map 

message: I'm not an expert, but I've never heard of this refered to as the "Fulani Empire".  It was a very mixed Fula, Hausa, etc set of states under religious leadership (a Caliph).  Are there any references to this as the "Fulani Empire" I should know about? In Nigeria perhaps?  
In academic literature it's always the "Sokoto Caliphate". Especially as there were a series of Fulani Jihad states in this time / area which could all be identified (perhaps with more justification) as Fulani Empire. :T L Miles 13:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: At least there is Hugh A.S. Johnston's history of the Caliphate, which is titled The Fulani Empire of Sokoto (see further reading). And the Sokoto Caliphate still exists, no longer as an empire but as a spiritual community lead by the Sultan of Sokoto. --Ankimai 15:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bawa 

message: I will be reverting the recent infobox edits because I am not sure they improve the page.  I am willing to be convinced, but let's hash it out.  My problems: 1. Replacing Sultan with "Amirul Muminin"--As this is English wikipedia, the standard is to stick with title in English reliable sources. In these sources, the title is typically just "Sultan".  See: here. 2. It says that Sa’adu Abubakar was given this title in 1804. This is 150 years before Abubakar was born--making this problematic. 3. The number of google hits for "Daular Khalifar" is 1--this wikipedia page.  That is not a good thing.  I'm sure we can work out some of these problems and figure out how to improve the infobox together.  Thank you. AbstractIllusions (talk) 01:13, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:GPRS core network

message: This article seems to have some useful information, but it's hidden in a very thick acronym soup that is exceedingly hard to parse for anyone that doesn't already know how GRPS works.  There's very little prose explaining how the network functions, much less any prose accessible to the non-technical reader.

thread_title: Criticism

message: NPOV? Anyone? I am admittedly biased myself, given that I'm a big fan of his writing (he has a style that I enjoy immensely). However, really, look at this. An encyclopedia is meant to lay out the facts and allow users to draw their own conclusions. "These all make one point clear: White was a very close friend of Kennedy."? Then you have paragraphs on criticism of White, without even the slightest notion of countering that with positive things people have said about him. This article, as it stands, is not (in my opinion) encyclopedia-worthy; it's biased and not evenly distributed. 
It's a good effort, but I honestly think it needs some work. I am going to attempt to improve this article later. Some specific things to work on: POV, more information about Theodore and possibly a small section about his writing style, possibly brief rundowns of what he's written, and definitely an attempt to remove conclusions drawn by the article.

Talk:Hypersthene

message: Merge if you find it necessary (I don't) - I am aware the IMA has abandoned the name, but it fills a descriptive slot and is still used in (at least some) modern mineralogy texts. Enstatite is the pure or nearly pure, endmember (< 12% FeSiO3) of the series and the rare ferrosilite the iron endmember. I would say that most samples are say 25 - 50% FeSiO3 and hypersthene seems a reliable term to describe these and backed by historical usage. Additionally bronzite is used by many sources for the 12 - 25% FeSiO3 range. Merge, but keep and explain the usage - don't eliminate a meaningful name just because the IMA dosen't like it. What would we call the hypersthene-andesite in the current page? Vsmith 00:09, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair comment - I was not planning to remove all reference to hypersthene and my only real rationel for merging is that much of the information for members of a series is duplicated. I have removed the merge notice, will borrow useful info  and leave the issue for later (when enstatite is in better shape). If I remember properly we should use iron rich enstatite-andesite for the rock but not named units, but (1) I am not a petrologist and (2) that's a bit of a mouthful.

Talk:Dubbing (filmmaking)

message: This at present is mostly a mess, with some IMO unnecessary and partly redundant articles, and some basic information still missing. Some thoughts:
*Dubbing (filmmaking) seems the best article at present, but despite the title it confines itself to only dialogue dubbing, neglecting other film uses of dubbing such as music, sound effects, etc.  I suggest it be moved to a different title, perhaps "Dubbing (film dialogue)". Alternatively, other uses of dubbing in filmmaking should also be discussed in the article.  
* Dubbing (music), Dubbing (transferring), and Overdubbing all seem to me to be incomplete attempts to deal with the same thing. I suggest combining them into one article, perhaps "Dubbing (audio)" or "Dubbing (audio recordings)". Other thoughts? -- Infrogmation 18:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
