thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Composition I - Writing Wikipedia

message: This 2022 edit by "real communist" "destroyer of white social norms" Plasamas created the current nonsense dab "(lifestyle wear)" in place of the previous straightforward "(shoe company)". They/she then spectacularly flamed out blanking MC Hammer, Flag of the United States, East Turkistan Government-in-Exile (i.e. Xinjiang separatists), and the American Nazi Party over a 3 minute period before being permanently banned. As such, I think we really should (very bemusedly) WP:AGF that this wasn't just a corporate shill from the company's own PR department.
That said, this is still a terrible dab that is worded exactly as if it had been done by a corporate shill from the company's own PR department. I'll move it somewhere. Open to alternatives if people end up not liking it but it shouldn't stay here. — LlywelynII 19:27, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Hermann von François

message: I deleted the following sentence: While alive, François was well known for his French-sounding name, which was seemingly incongruous with his service to Germany.
There were thousands of German soldiers with French names and thousands of French soldiers with German names fighting for their countries. Best examples on the German side are von Hutier, von Arnauld de la Periere and von Francois himself. This classification German name=German, French name=Frenchman etc. is typical for Anglo-American half-wits.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.176.235.10 (talk) 13:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Template talk:Ford vehicles

message: Template:Ford vs. :Category:Ford_vehicles
I went through and added this template to a number of Ford vehicles, and now it seems that people from various parts of the world are adding and subtracting vehicles based on a local perspective. For example, removing Ford Escort from the 1970's because it wasn't introduced in North America until the 1980's, or adding Ford Maverick to the list of vehicles of the 1990's because that is when it was introduced to Europe.
For reference, Chevrolet has a list of it's vehicles on the main page, while Dodge links to List of Dodge automobiles. Aside from Template:Mazda, I haven't been able to find any other vehicle specific templates.
So, is it worth it to attempt to maintain a vehicle specific template, or should it just go to the list of vehicles category? Mcneight 00:53, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Template vs. Category?

message: Just as a heads up, I made a series of edits to this template on March 18 based on some formating issues that I found with the Automobile Template page. Between this template and the Ford motor Company template there were two pieces of code that effected all code/text that followed it to force justify center.  The problem appears to have ben one missed coded that started one templte and another that ended a template.  All fixed now (I hope). Stude62 22:29, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the decade usage the decade of the first appearance of the model name, or the period in which the model was available? This ought to be made clear somewhere. It appears to be decade of name first use. The Anglia went through 4 different model numbers and two distinctly different bodies from 1940 to 1960s. The conflation of cars for different markets is also confusing. GraemeLeggett 09:54, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Is this list supposed to be for Ford USA or does it include international models too? It could get mighty confusing if the latter. It seems to be mostly American models at the moment but with curious additions like a Ford Taiwan van. ??

Talk:Skinner's Sense of Snow

message: Has anyone else noticed how this mirrors The Day After Tomorrow, yet was released some 4 years previously?
Notably, 
1)The wolves outside the school in the snow, are like the wolves on the russian ship.
2)The book burning scene is very similar when they burn tax documentation.
3)The makeshift snowplough is similar to the Randy Quaid and Dash Mihok scene in TDAT.

Talk:The Conformist

message: I just added an infobox to this article and reported the page count for the original Italian edition as 392. However, this might not be correct. This number is given by Worldcat and the Italian National Library Service but, for example, Goodreads gives 398. Other sources give different numbers, all within the 390-398 range. Apparently, this is because there is no standard for counting pages in a book. I choose to report 392 because I trust library catalogs more than Goodreads, but if anyone has access to a first edition Italian copy, please confirm the page count.
(I also have a similar note about this in a comment above the page numbers parameter, but I'm posting here as well for increased visibility.) C. A. Struck (talk) 17:41, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

message: This subject should be split from the generalized article "Military education and training." "Military education and training" only outlines very generic topics related to the training of indigineous military forces, whereas International Military Education and Training (IMET) is a specific bilateral and multilateral program directed by the U.S. Department of State's Political-Military Affairs Bureau and executed by the U.S. Department of Defense. Projects under this program include, but are not limited to, invitations for officers from foreign countries to attend various military schools in the United States, such as the Army War College or the National Defense University, as well as providing funding for trainers to travel to foreign countries to provide specific, localized training.

message: Again, I don't know if this comment belongs here, but I'll go at it anyway.
I think this community paper is a great idea. I'm an occasional contributor -- basically if I happen to read Wikipedia at some point and notice something wrong, I know how to fix it, but it's purely incidental stuff. I'm also a big Wiki fan. I don't have time to be involved in Wikipedia all the time, but I like to follow along, watch its growth, and tell my friends and colleagues about it. So, for me, the Signpost will be a great resource. I can just come by occasionally and 'catch up' on the goings-on. I'm just curious what will happen to old issues? Will they be saved at least temporarily, or is this more like a transient 'this week in Wikipedia' thing?
:They'll be archived. We'll probably put a link to the archive at the bottom of the page on future issues. --Michael Snow 00:04, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I had not read this at the time, and following the link from today's Signpost, I am delighted by Michael Snow's prescience and modesty in setting the scope and ambition of The Signpost.

there is nothing to suggest that these compounds were for human research, which i feel this sentence implies. 
Rats can be kept anywhere..
Compounds can be moved to other locations once synthesized..
