This may be of interest: Template:Talk header#Usage includes

This template should only be placed where it's needed. Don't visit talk pages just to add this template, and don't place it on the talk pages of new articles. Talk pages that are frequently misused, that attract frequent or perpetual debate, articles often subject to controversy, and highly-visible or popular topics may be appropriate for this template.

Just to let you know, Keith Richards was called Keith Richard during the heart of his career, beginning with the first Rolling Stones album through at least Beggars Banquet. That's every album, every single, every songwriter reference almost through the very end of the 1960's. Just because the CD's and download sites might show something else now doesn't make this go away as a part of this great man's history. I had to dig around on the Internet to find out that it was Andrew Loog Oldham's idea. If you want to put that info somewhere else in the article, that's fine by me; it doesn't have to be in the intro, though that is where I usually see alternate names. But it should go somewhere.

Hi, I've been looking over Allen Klein per your assessment request at WikiProject Biography. There's a lot of good progress here. Nice work! I love to see lots of citations to strong sources, and the sources you've chosen look good to me. With more inline citations and more diverse secondary sources, promoting this to C-class would be a no-brainer. (I'm sure some of this can be addressed by repeating existing sfn notes wherever they support a statement, instead of using each one just once.) I realize that Goodman is a major text for this subject, just take care not to make the article a summary of that one work.

For B-class and beyond, I would like to see a more cohesive flow to the narrative. Tell a story. Use shorter sentences. There is going to be some jumping around chronologically, so it's important to establish context and tie things together. Each paragraph and each section should flow logically from the one before. Some of the topic sentences already start strong:

"The split between Klein and the Stones led to years of litigation."

"Klein was hit with his first crisis in managing the Beatles when..."

"In 1964 Klein approached the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein..."

If the topic sentence can set up the section or paragraph in, say, 18 words or less, even better.

I've left the assessment request in the queue. Another editor might see things differently, but I feel that an article of this length should be more densely populated with citations, drawing on a wider range of secondary sources. —Ringbang (talk) 00:57, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-04-09T00:57:00.000Z","author":"Ringbang","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ringbang-2016-04-09T00:57:00.000Z-Allen_Klein","replies":["c-Strawberry4Ever-2016-04-09T03:28:00.000Z-Ringbang-2016-04-09T00:57:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks for your comments, Ringbang. I'll try to make more improvements to the article when I have some free time. A major challenge has been finding sources other than the Fred Goodman biography.

Interesting. I see that one of the definitions of "whose" at meriam-webster.com is "used to give more information about a person or thing already mentioned", and one of their examples is "the first poem whose publication he ever sanctioned", so it looks like you're right. The Grammar Bible by Strumpf and Douglas doesn't address this except, as I noted in one of my edit summaries, on page 179 it says "Who and its accompanying forms refers only to people." Apparently "whose" is the possessive form not only of "who" but of "which". I didn't know that! Thanks.

@MikeB1966: Wikipedia doesn't allow original research. "Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist." Even if you personally saw Tony Barrow die at Lancaster Royal Infirmary, unless you can find a secondary source for this, on Wikipedia we have to report that he died at his home in Morecambe. 12:28, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

@MikeB1966: Secondary sources are explained at WP:SECONDARY. You need to find an article in a newspaper, magazine, or (eventually) book which says that Tony Barrow died at Lancaster Royal Infirmary.

You may recall that I scratched my head over this incident when I was editing the U.S. Chess Federation page. Fischer was not a member (and hadn't been for at least a decade) when the motion was passed. So they didn't actually revoke his membership, just revoked his right to become a member. Perhaps just a nit.

I ran across a transcript of the USCF's meeting, and it was eye-opening. Brady, who was on the EB at the time, was distraught -- several dozen of his co-workers had been killed in 9/11, and there he was, the leading biographer of Fischer, and Fischer had gone on radio and cheered for the terrorists. The other EB members were evidently reluctant to get the USCF involved, and they knew that the USCF could do essentially nothing to punish or discipline Fischer, but to appease Brady they passed the motion that they did. The following year, after Brady's term had expired, they repealed.

Oh yeah, duh! As to the hip replacement surgery, I went down the rabbit hole and found that it is Morris Day who reported that Prince had hip replacement surgery, not in 2010, but in 2008, which meshes with the 2008 and 2009 articles I was able to find. 2008 articles spoke of his immediate need for the surgery and Prince's comments about it, and one 2009 article spoke about the surgery in the past tense. So, though Kevin Frasier of ET claimed 2010, it's probably better to trust the quoted words of Morris Day, given the evidence. Thanks for reminding me.

There is almost no way to do that without raising suspicions of canvassing. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:05, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-09-16T15:05:00.000Z","author":"Ad Orientem","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ad_Orientem-2016-09-16T15:05:00.000Z-Strawberry4Ever-2016-09-16T14:57:00.000Z","replies":["c-Strawberry4Ever-2016-09-16T18:02:00.000Z-Ad_Orientem-2016-09-16T15:05:00.000Z"]}}-->

Greetings. For both Ali and Frazier's BoxRec entries, the result is correctly given as an RTD, which is a "corner retirement" rather than a TKO; the referee did not stop the fight, but Frazier's corner did. Therefore, I would ask you to please revert your edit.

@Mac Dreamstate: OK, I now know that RTD means Referee technical decision. Based on the description in Thrilla in Manila of how the fight ended, RTD does seem more accurate than TKO. The two articles should be in agreement, though, and apparently secondary sources say the fight ended in a TKO. Since I don't know all that much about boxing I'll restore your edit except that I think there should be a Wikilink to explain what RTD means. Others may see it differently, though.

My thanks. I will say that it is a good debate to be had, since even today there is sometimes disagreement on contemporary boxing articles as to whether a result should be KO or TKO, but in the case of Ali–Frazier III it will be best tackled only when there is significant disagreement. Now that BoxRec has recently amended their record of the result as an RTD, I doubt it'll come up again.

Regarding the abbreviated result types, I plan on overhauling Ali's record in accordance with the new MOS:BOXING/RECORD guidelines, so that tooltips will display the results to readers unfamiliar with the various terminology. It should look something like this, albeit with the extra Age column as appropriate.

Thanks for fixing the "Monopoly game" entry.

Mark v1.0: There probably aren't many people who go to Monopoly (game) looking for an article about monopolies in general, but since you did that (through a Google search) there may be others doing it in the future. I'm not sure of the best way to add "For other uses, see Monopoly (disambiguation)." I experimented with this but I haven't come up with a solution that I like yet.

In this edit to Break-up of the Beatles, you reverted my fix of the Harvard error caused by the lack of |ref=harv in a full citation to Goodman's book. My fix created the parameter and placed the full citation in the Sources section, as is common practice for Harvard citations, and as had already been done for The Beatles 2000 book. When I first looked at the article there were two further sfn references to Goodman, both of which were flagged as Harvard errors by my User:Ucucha/HarvErrors.js script.

You removed the Goodman book from the sources section, re-instating the Harvard errors, which you then tried to fix by adding the |ref=harv parameter to the reference you placed back within the body text. That's a variation of style from the style being used in the article, where all of the other short citations are associated with a full citation in the Sources section. Per WP:CITEVAR, I've reverted to the style I used. Please don't alter citation styles already in use simply to match your personal preference.

I thought that this was a case of that habit the Americans have of using "through 1968" when they mean "until 1968". Trouble is if the copyright did not end then I'm having trouble finding the actual date in the article.

Britmax: As explained at Harrisongs, George Harrison's contract with Northern Songs expired in March 1968, so any songs which he wrote before that were published by Northern Songs. To me, "three-year contract with Northern Songs gave it the copyright to his work through March 1968" means that Northern Songs had the copyright on the songs written between 1965 and 1968 and continued to own that copyright afterwards, while "three-year contract with Northern Songs gave it the copyright to his work until March 1968" implies that Northern Songs lost the copyright to the songs in March 1968. Maybe the sentence should be re-written to make the meaning clearer, e.g. "three-year contract with Northern Songs gave it the copyright to his songs written between 1965 and March 1968".

Hi, I am entirely new to Wikipedia and I saw that you had made changes to John Glenn's Wikipedia page before. I noticed that the quote in the "Comments about women in space" section is taken entirely out of context, and because of this, the entirely opposite conclusion is reached. What follows is the quote according to the page:

"I think this gets back to the way our social order is organized, really. It is just a fact. The men go off and fight the wars and fly the airplanes and come back and help design and build and test them. The fact that women are not in this field is a fact of our social order."

The quote in context is as follows:

"I think this gets back to the way our social order is organized, really. It is just a fact. The men go off and fight the wars and fly the airplanes and come back and help design and build and test them. The fact that women are not in this field is a fact of our social order. It may be undesirable. It obviously is, but we are only looking, as I said before, to people with certain qualifications. If anybody can meet them I am all for them."

Sorry for the lack of good formatting, as I said I am new to Wikipedia editing. I hope that you will make this change and help make this Wikipedia page better.

Thank you so much! ams2431 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:281:8000:2030:2C3C:99F8:38B6:29CB (talk) 06:36, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-03-09T06:36:00.000Z","author":"2601:281:8000:2030:2C3C:99F8:38B6:29CB","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-2601:281:8000:2030:2C3C:99F8:38B6:29CB-2021-03-09T06:36:00.000Z-Revision_of_John_Glenn_Comments_about_women_in_space","replies":["c-Strawberry4Ever-2021-03-10T22:31:00.000Z-2601:281:8000:2030:2C3C:99F8:38B6:29CB-2021-03-09T06:36:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi ams2431. If you can provide more context by adding a few more sentences from the referenced material, please feel free to do so. I don't want to do that because I don't have access to the source for the quotation. If I recall correctly, all I did was to reformat the article by adding subtopic titles.
