Talk:School of American Ballet

message: Cross posted to Talk:List of Mae L. Wien Awards recipients.
There sure are a lot of Mae L. Wien awards given out.  Should this be a separate list? Dkreisst (talk) 10:32, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mae L. Wien Awards 

message: The section was summarily deleted with the following explanation, "Award notability hardly established; all are from primary sources," which is hardly the case as the material deleted included footnotes with URLs to NY Times feature articles about the Wien Award recipients from 1992 through 2012. 
Fourteen of the recipients (Amar Ramasar, Ana Sophia Scheller, Andrew Veyette, Ashley Bouder, Benjamin Millepied, Carla Körbes, Janie Taylor, Jennie Somogyi, Megan and Robert Fairchild, Sara Mearns, Stephen Hanna, Tiler Peck and Tyler Angle) are or were principal dancers with NYCB or PNB (Stephen Hanna subsequently appeared as the adult Billy Elliot on Broadway and Benjamin Millepied has been appointed artistic director of the Paris Opera Ballet.)
Eight more (Anna Liceica, Anthony Huxley, Arch Higgins, Edwaard Liang, Kathryn Morgan, Taylor Stanley, Georgina Pazcoguin and John Selya) are or were soloists with NYCB or ABT (Edwaard Liang danced in Jerome Robbins' Broadway and John Selya in Twyla Tharp's Movin' Out.) 
I believe this establishes notability beyond reasonable doubt (and agree that it should be a separate list, which I will create after waiting a decent interval for further comments.) — Robert Greer (talk) 21:12, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:List of tribal councils in British Columbia

message: Just drafted this up based on the shortlist (relatively out-of-date, though) at http://www.aboriginalcanada.com/firstnation/dirfnbc.htm.  I ordered them alphabetically just now, according to their current operating name as appears to be from most recent websites, e.g. BCtreaty.net.  My intent is to lay out these out as a table directory (see List of crossings of the Fraser River for basic layout/concept, though with different column-headings) with ethnic/lingistic information and member bands, sub-councils, parallel treaty councils...I had to do something to try and keep it all straight; a similar table formatting is recommended for List of First Nations governments in British Columbia, where the alphabetical listing is pretty well useless without some kind of notion of which TC they belong to, which ethnic groups and languages are affiliiated with each, whether they're in or out of the treaty process, and where they are etc.  But I'm burned out for the night, with only Semahquam left in the Interior (well, almost Coast; it's on the Lillooet River) and all the Coast Salish stubs yet to be done; and whatever I can figure out about the remaining Kwakwaka'wakw that don't have government articles yet; and then southern BC is done, up to the Prince George area anyway, albeit only insofar as government stubs is concerned; still a lot of work for someone else to do someday (I do have to find a life, one of these days....); just trying to lay out the framework....Skookum1 09:32, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Elán

message: I would reccomend this disambiguation page to be part of  Elan (disambiguation). That contains also entries for Élan, why not also Elán? (Anyway, I think most of the people don't use diacritic when serching wikipedia, so that decreases the chance for finding this page.)
I think I will add these two entries to the Elan disambiguation, please, write your opinion about this.

Talk:Carboxy-Terminal Domain

message: I'd like to suggest a page merge/redirect to C-terminal end rather than deletion. I would actually prefer the title C-terminus as main article (which currently redirects to C-terminal end) as C-terminus appears to be the most common form out of the three in scientific literature on PubMed. There's potential for content expansion, e.g. there are C-terminal signals and mechanisms common to groups of proteins (ER retrieval signals (KDEL), GPI anchors and C-terminal prenylation for post-translational membrane insertion, for example). Similar for N-terminus (currently redirecting to N-terminal end): Many intracellular targeting signals (e.g. chloroplast and mitochondrial targeting, ER/secretory pathway) are N-terminal signals, so there's certainly the possibility to expand these pages with additional information on common mechanisms. - tameeria 05:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: For the record here's the contents of that link:
"Named c1864 after Captain George Bazalgette, RMLI, commander of the British camp on San Juan Island 1860-67, during the joint occupancy of the island by British and American forces. Early in 1867 Bazalgette was relieved by Captain Delacombe, RMLI, who retained command for the remainer of the occupation [until 1872]. "In looking through the original correspondence, the diplomatic skill with which Bazalgette and Delacombe conducted their business is most striking..... it hardly needs to be said that a very slight error of judgement on their part might have caused serious friction between the two powers, if not war itself." (History of Esquimalt, by Capt. John S. Parry, RN, 1906)."
the reference to San Juan Island is the Pig War, or rather that's the article title (the "war" was over by 1867, the dispute wasn't).Skookum1 (talk) 15:30, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Golden point

message: There is currently a dispute around the wording of the opening sentence whether it uses association football or soccer.  asserts it should be soccer as an Australian invention while I affirm it should be association football as this article has a worldwide scope. I have posted a link to this discussion at WP:FOOTBALL so we can get more input to stop the edit war as we're already on 3rr.  The C of E   God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:15, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: "Golden point" appears to be an Australian term, particularly in reference to their rugby league or "Aussie rules" competitions. So using soccer in this context would be more appropriate. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 09:23, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  That was my first reaction. If the article is solely on an Australasian term then soccer is appropriate. However, there is a large section on Europe and the lede says nothing about it being an Australian term, which makes association football more appropriate. There is also the argument that the latter is the formal (and more encyclopaedic) name of the sport; this is not the usual football versus soccer argument. Not that it really matters. I'd leave it at whatever the person who originally wrote the sentence put. There is no need to change it, unless they wrote football, which would need disambiguation.      Jts1882 | talk  09:46, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  On that last point, the article has used soccer since June 2005. Is it really necessary to make a change 13 years later?   Jts1882 | talk  09:50, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole thing needs a rewrite. I'd go with something like The golden point is a rule used primarily in rugby to determine a winner in overtime when scores are level after regulation. The term is borrowed from golden goal, a former association football rule. When a competition follows the "golden point" rule, the team which scores first in overtime, regardless of how they scored, wins the game. That uses association football, as even though it's primarily an Aussie article it's not entirely a local article there are several different football codes which need to be differentiated here.

Talk:Waverly, Tennessee, tank car explosion

message: :Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *Support or *Oppose, then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
* Oppose: WP:USPLACE suggests not omitting the state name in this case. The suggested modification also introduces confusion over whether "Waverly" is the name of a place or something else, such as the name of the company that owned or manufactured the tank car, or some particular tank car type. Perhaps if a WP:COMMONNAME argument can be made for the topic (not based on sources local to the region, which might assume familiarity with local place names), then the move could be justified, but the suggestion seems to be motivated only by a desire to be concise. The nominator doesn't mention whether there is an argument for a common name in this case. However, I notice that both non-Tennessee sources cited in the article include 'Tennessee' in their title, which makes it appear that the state name is an important disambiguator for this topic. In fact, 'Tennessee' may be more important than 'Waverly'. Neither of those sources include 'Waverly' in their title. —BarrelProof (talk) 21:27, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Angora wool

message: I have a pet French Angora Rabbit, and for him plucking is indeed painless- during molting the fur falls out all over the place in general, and the rabbit sits still through the process. I assume that if it hurt him he wouldn't sit calmly in my lap. It is just like humans running their fingers through their hair and having hairs come out. 
Some breeds of Angoras do not naturally shed, namely the Giant and German angoras. For these plucking would be painful, and they are sheared. But when each time I touch the rabbit my hand comes away covered in fur, I can't see plucking hurting him. If you have sources proving otherwise, please share. Loggie 19:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't that a giant angora? I agree that it shows that it is painful, but this is besides the point Loggie was making (which was about the French Angora) and explicitly excluded the German and giant angoras.

thread_title: Plucking Angora Rabbits

message: The article had contained an "In Popular Culture" section, wit the following text:
The director, writer, and actor Edward D. Wood, Jr. was known to have a fetish for angora wool sweaters, referenced in his film "Glen or Glenda?". Director Tim Burton, an admirer of Wood's work, referenced this preference in his 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which shows Willy Wonka (played by Johnny Depp, who had also played Wood in Burton's 1994 biopic Ed Wood) passing a room in which pink Angora sheep are being shorn, saying "I'd rather not talk about that one."
This strikes me as non-noteworthy, so I'm (boldly!) removing it. -- Narsil (talk) 16:21, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing non-noteworthy "in popular culture" section 

message: The paragraph about the PETA incident was removed recently for unstated concerns over WP:NPOV. I don't know what the issue was, as it was not mentioned but the specification of an edit summary entry suggests it was in good faith. I undid the revision and hope to start a discussion on the issue. I think the paragraph could be improved on the basis of WP:NPOV by changing the text to: "PETA released a video (possible link) showing what they are concerned about after undercover investigations in China. They were mostly concerned with that the fur can be plucked from live rabbits, inflicting suffering as the rabbit screams in pain, and causing an early death and the conditions in which the rabbits are kept which cause partial balding and red raw bloody wounds. As a result of this several retailers, such as New Look[3] and H&M,[4] suspended the use of Angora in the production of clothing." This shows they are PETAs concerns and may not reflect other peoples opinions. It would also be nice if we could find different opinions from noteworthy people or organisations (possibly the farmers). PinkShinyRose (talk) 19:47, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

To avoid the many problems within the article, try to introduce some type of chronology in the events rather than state opinionated facts that deface the article. Elaborate more on the pre-Islamic history of the Berbers if you mention it and try not to mention political, social, and cultural history in one section labeled "background." Introducing some type of chronology will help lay your ideas out so you can focus on each topic easily. Amir Manu (talk) 22:55, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
