A sentence in the intro says: "The historical concept and definition of sexual orientation varies and has changed greatly over time; for example the word "gay" wasn't used to describe sexual orientation until the mid 20th century." I'd like to see an inline source citation (or two) to support that sentence. --Orlady (talk) 02:42, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

In fact, I don't think the word "gay" was used to describe sexual orientation until the 1970s, but I'm not a reliable source. --Orlady (talk) 02:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Milestone home runs by Barry Bonds

[edit]

List of polio survivors

[edit]
  • The picture caption needs something else. Should the word always be in it? Does he always play sitting down due to having had polio or is he pictured sitting down?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 18:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I revised the caption. --Orlady (talk) 20:09, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • For the Misdiagnosis section, what resulted in those four being considered misdiagnosed or false? Collectonian (talk) 03:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I think "misdiagnosis" was incorrect terminology. I've revised the heading and text. Does this work for you now? --Orlady (talk) 23:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Yep. That works. :) Collectonian (talk) 01:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Has there been any thought of standardizing NFL team season pages with columns for passing yard, rushing yard, and receiving yard leader columns?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 20:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

List of Trinity Blood episodes

[edit]
  • I am confused where this aired in Spanish and why it aired throughout South America in Portuguese when only Brazil (to my knowledge) speaks the language.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 20:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Woops, it aired in both languages. Cleaning up the note for consistency.Collectonian (talk) 03:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
The opening and ending themes seemed to have remained in Japanese with subtitles for those languages I can see.Collectonian (talk) 03:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

List of retired Pacific hurricane names

[edit]
  • I am having a little trouble understanding why storms that never made landfall would be retired. They had virtually no death tolls. The damage amounts seem large, but I can not imageine that they rival lesser storms that actually made land. What gives?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 20:31, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
As stated in the article, the names Adolph and Israel were retired for political considerations due to connections to Adolf Hitler and the country Israel. Also, the article says that several names have been retired due to pronunciation ambiguity or a socially unacceptable meaning in another language. The cited sources (which are governmental reports) indicate that the reasons for some of the retirements are not known. However, I imagine that "Knut" was one of the names that was retired due to pronunciation ambiguity. --Orlady (talk) 04:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I was talking about Fico, Fefa, Paka, and Ioke.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 18:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
As I said, the cited sources (which are governmental reports) indicate that the reasons for some of the retirements are not known. --Orlady (talk) 02:37, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Paka and Ioke never made landfall, but both passed near small islands, where they caused great damage. Fefa and Fico caused damage in Hawaii. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Can the article be revised to say that? (With sources, of course) --Orlady (talk) 04:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

List of tallest buildings in Boston

[edit]
No, I don't think so. Users would know that if the building is on the Boston list, then it is obviously about the Boston building and not a building in another city. Resolutions such as the above are appropriate for individual building pages, but aren't needed for a list. Cheers, Rai-me 21:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
The links are already provided in the list, so it was felt (not by me) that including them in captions would be overlinking. However, I would be open to adding them. Rai-me 21:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Can you point me to a discussion of overlinking in this article?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 22:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I cannot. It didn't occur on this list's FLC; there was discussion of removing linking in captions at an FLC listed around the same as that of List of tallest buildings in Providence, and seeing the discussion, I removed wikilinks from captions of the Providence list. It has since "stuck" for every building list. However, as linking seems to very common in FLs, with no complaints of overlinking, I see no reason why they shouldn't be added. I will add them now, and begin a discussion at WP:SKY relating to this. Thanks, and sorry about any confusion -- Rai-me 03:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Again Boston's Prudential Buildings seem confusing given Chicago's taller buildings. Should any mention be made?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 22:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
See above comment relating to the John Hancock Center. Cheers, Rai-me 21:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
I added that detail to the article. The lead already had a link to List of tallest buildings in the United States, but my addition includes yet another link. --Orlady (talk) 17:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
The reason that this was not originally included is beacuse there are so many taller buildings that are under construction, proposed, and approved, so any assumption of future rank would lilely be inaccurate. However, I think that Orlady's addition is appropriate. Rai-me 21:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

List of longest suspension bridge spans

[edit]
  • Is everyone suppose to know what a main span is? In fact, what is a span? Is it total length or length between two of those tall things that have cables attached to them.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 21:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Why is a suspension bridge different from a cable-stayed bridge. This page seems to spend more time on the latter than its own subject.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 21:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

List of counties in Kentucky

[edit]
Remember that in historic times "Bath" most often referred to a public bath or spa (since private baths and spas did not exist), and locations with hot springs often were called "Bath" (as in Bath, England, which city may be the source of the word "bath"). Thus, a place with medicinal springs could be described as a "bath". As it happens, there are places in Tennessee and Alabama named "Bath Springs," but apparently not in Kentucky. One of the springs in Bath County, KY, was formerly called Olympian Springs (it's now Mud Lick),[1]. Salt Lick, Kentucky, also in that county, probably is named for a mineral spring. --Orlady (talk) 22:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Interesting, yes, but a challenging cartographic feat verging on original research. Tracing the historical changes of county boundaries is a major focus for some genealogical researchers... There is a series of historical county maps for Kentucky (you can even watch an animated version of the changes) at this website; I'll add that to the list article as an external link. --Orlady (talk) 22:53, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

List of Archbishops of Canterbury

[edit]
You don't need to be. I added a link to Full communion.--Orlady (talk) 18:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Have you ever heard of Henry VIII? Seriously, the existing link to English Reformation covers the story well. However, I removed the words "political situations." --Orlady (talk) 04:22, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Several links added. However, I did not link "aegis"; it's a word, not a term needing to be linked in this article. (People unfamiliar with the word can look in a dictionary.) --Orlady (talk) 04:22, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Citation added --Orlady (talk) 04:02, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
I removed the periods. Is that what you had in mind? --Orlady (talk) 04:02, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

List of Indianapolis Colts first-round draft picks

[edit]
 Done HoosierStateTalk 02:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Should the big paragraph explain compensatory picks or do they not occur in the first round? I don't know what they are for so I don't know.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 17:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

List of brain tumor patients

[edit]

I'm bothered by (1) the somewhat voyeuristic nature of the topic, (2) the large number of blank spaces in the table, and (3) lack of clarity regarding the list's commingling of cancerous tumors with poor prognoses, benign growths with excellent prognoses, and everything in between. --Orlady (talk) 19:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
