==Glock==
OK, I know they have a model number up to 39, but GLOCK only produces 22 models. There never was any 1 through 16 - the 17 was the first. Numbers 1 through 16 do not now, nor have they ever, existed. Also, the 24 was discontinued, replaced by the 35 (similar to how the 17L was discontinued in favor of the 34). I know you probably grew up taking everything you hear in movies as gospel, but I assure you there is no such thing as a ceramic Glock 7 that does not show up on airport metal detectors and cost more than an airport police officer makes in a month. Die Hard 2 is a work of fiction.

YOUR RESPONSE (MY NOES IN CAPS/BRACKETS):
17, 17C, 17L , 18, 18C, 19, 19C, 20, 20C, 20SF, 21, 21C, 21SF, 22, 22C, 23, 23C, 24 , 24C , 25,26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 30SF, 31, 31C, 32, 32C, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39...count them yourself, it's 37 .--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 22:35, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

MY RESPONSE: If you'd like to count the C and SF models, that's fine. But as you say, even then it's only 37 (and really 34). So why revert to 39?
And why not count RTF, RTF2, RTF3, OD, Gen 3 & Gen 4 then, as well? Or the special versions with extra long barrels to comply with differing national laws?
Because those aren't actually different models. That's why. Those are simply variations on a base model.
H&K produces 9 variations of every pistol they manufacturer. Precisely zero people would argue that adding a compensator introduces a completely new model - just a new version of an existing model.

Just because you're wrong, and offer a rebuttal that acknowledges that you're wrong, doesn't make me a spammer. Just right.

::I see, sorry, I am sure its because of all the discussion going on. The voting area is here and if you click on that link you will read my summary of what we are voting on.

:::We used the word many because the Nat Geo source says "after the position was institutionalized, historians looked back and saw Peter as the first pope of the Church of Rome".

Hi, Yes, that article is unusual in that it gets a lot of edits. A few other articles that I watch have had very few edits for 3 or 4 months now. But giving up on that article is similar to what Mark Twain said about his smoking habit: "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.".... ] (]) 07:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

== Welcome to the Months of African Cinema! ==
Most websites have ads, including flashing banners. I know it's annoying but it doesn't discredit a source, and their research isn't reflecting any advertising and remain neutral, so this is not spam. What I like about the kingsnake article is that they actually cite published works and books, which we fail to do. Whether our information is inclusive to theirs or not, including a site that is verified increases the reliability of our article. I'd put it back myself but I'll let you decide. --] (]) 03:56, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

== Audie Murphy film count ==
]


Greetings!
In the article ], when I changed a passage from "He also starred in an impressive 39 ] Western films," to "...33 ] ] films," you changed it again, to "...39 ] films." Your edit summary read, "Source says 39. Misplaced Pages is not about TRUTH it's about reporting what the source says."
#Taking that regulation that literally was undoubtedly not the intent of its creators, as that is contrary to making Misplaced Pages a viable information source, ''i.e.'', to the detriment of the project, and is just generally unreasonable.
#There was and is no source cited for that statement.
#You removed the limitation to his Westerns, which changes the number anyway. "39" that way not only (properly) doesn't count the Spanish Western ''The Texican'' and the Israeli spy flick '']'', but also leaves out ''A Time For Dying'', which "33 Hollywood Westerns" must have counted, and which I left in. Since I said in '''my''' edit summary that I had my doubts about that one, I'll leave the current version in place. If you actually have a source that makes a specific statement to this, make up your mind as to exactly what it says, and put up a cite. What I'll do depends on how you end up leaving it.
#Points 2 & 3 mean that you made a significantly inaccurate edit summary, which '''is''' against ], and rightfully so.
I've put your talk page on my watchlist pending the remainder, if any, of this discussion, so you can respond right here and I'll know. --] (]) 22:51, 21 November 2009 (UTC)


] welcomes you to October, the ] that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora.
:#I said that I put your talk page on my watchlist so you could reply right here (thereby keeping the entire discussion together). Why didn't you?
:#I said that I was leaving "39" up on its own terms (that's what I meant, and it still looks quite clear to me). The only question to that number is whether or not the '''still''' unreleased ''...Dying'' is a "Hollywood" film, and it '''is''' a question.
:#If it says "Guns Magazine" in the indicia, fine, but as of a year after the date in the cite, the logo at least was still simply ''Guns''. A website saying "Guns Magazine" doesn't prove much of anything about this point to me.
:#I do have a good print source, the Sue Gossett book already cited. She pretty much says whether Audie starred or what in each movie, and that ''Texican'' and ''Trunk...'' aren't Hollywood films. --] (]) 00:51, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

::#The regs request keeping discussions together. I find your objection completely lacking in sense.
::#Huh?

::#No count given. Technically, to count them up myself is flirting with original research and synthesis, but I temper those regs with common sense, too.
::#I am in no way, shape, or form anti-gun, and have in fact read issues of that publication. How do you think I know what the logo looked like? You are the one who gives every appearance of being offended, that closing smiley face notwithstanding.
::#BTW, I meant to acknowledge in my other post that the first link you put on my talk page led to a count of Murphy starring films, no restriction to Westerns as originally stated.

==Clan MacIntyre GA==
Hi Mike, Thanks so much for your amazingly prompt review of the Clan MacIntyre article. I expected to have to wait for weeks or longer. I noted your comment regarding ALT tags. Are these the same as ALT text? (I found a Wikipidia article on Alt text but nothing on Alt tags.) Truthfully, I'm not terribly sophisticated in computer stuff and didn't realize there was such a thing until you mentioned it. I plan to work on Alt text for the article. While ordinarily I would not presume, based on prior comments on this page I believe a "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" would be appropriate in your case. Thanks again, I'm really excited. It's my first GA rating.--] (]) 23:41, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
::If you have a chance, check out the images in the ] article now. This is my first attempt at composing alt text. The article on how to do it is rather picky and there is probably room for improvement on what I've added, but it's a start. You may also want to look at the latest discussions on the article talk page. I don't think ] (]) is correct, but would welcome a second opinion, if you're so inclined.

Greetings!

Hey Mike Searson, Thanks for the new stub on '']'', that was a nice surprise. If you think you might actually develop an interest in gastropods, I will invite you to join the WikiProject Gastropods. In either case, Seasons Greetings and all good wishes to you, ] (]) 15:36, 20 December 2009 (UTC)


Join us in this exciting venture, by helping to create or expand contents in Wikimedia projects which are connected to this scope. Kindly ] to indicate your interest in participating in this contest.


We would be awarding prizes to different categories of winners:
That was a fast reply! Oh so you do have an interest in tropical tree snails, that's very cool! Yes, gastropod taxonomy has been in flux for a couple hundred years already, and nowadays it is even more in flux because of the research results from recent DNA work and the challenge of ] to the regular Linnaean system. But you did fine with what you came up with! The important thing is simply to find a family (or subfamily or superfamily) and then we can fix it up from there. At Project Gastropods we are using one system of taxonomy from 2005 as outlined here: .


*'''''Overall winner'''''
But you don't need to study that article, or even read it, because all of the gastropod family articles have up to date taxoboxes now, so you can always check the family article and see how the taxobox looks there and copy it. Two of us in the project are halfway through our 5,000 stubs updating the taxonomy in those, and so maybe by the middle of 2010 all the taxonomy in the Project will be uniform and pretty much up to date. I hope so anyway.
**1st - $500
**2nd - $200
**3rd - $100
*'''''Diversity winner''''' - $100
*'''''Gender-gap fillers''''' - $100
*'''''Language Winners''''' - up to $100*


We would be adding additional categories as the contest progresses, along with local prizes from affiliates in your countries. For further information about the contest, the prizes and how to participate, please visit the contest page ]. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. Looking forward to your participation.--] (]) 19:22, 22nd September 2020 (UTC)}}
If you have any inclination at all to create more tree snail articles, that would be excellent. I can help you with anything you might need, or we can just fix up the taxonomy and or anything else after you make them. No pressure of course, but if you feel at all inspired, please go ahead and Be Bold!

*'''''Overall winner'''''
I am far from being an expert on tropical land snails, but I looked it up quickly and from what I read, the tribe Odontostomini (to which this genus belongs) are ground-dwelling. The name Odontostomini means "tooth-mouthed" snails, the shell aperture is narrowed and constricted with "teeth" in order to protect the snail against being eaten by ground-dwelling beetles. The fastest and easiest general source for this kind of info is a book called "Compendium of Landshells" by R. Tucker Abbott, 1989, published by American Malacologists, ISBN 0-915826-23-2. It's got thousands of pictures in it, if you like tropical snails you might enjoy owning a copy of it. Best, ] (]) 16:44, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!

Since Berkeley began offering courses in activism, the universities have churned out lots of savvy people who are accustomed to working a propaganda machine on a daily basis - it's second nature to them.

They know that 'framing the argument', flooding the discourse, 'keeping on the message', silencing debate are basic everyday tools of the trade for promoting an agenda. That was Agenda 101, and they've gone well beyond first-year liberal arts propaganda studies.
Mainstream media has just disgraced itself thoroughly. Perhaps it should be Solomon of AP who accepts the Darwin Award for Journalism. I think they just killed every form of subscription revenue.
Misplaced Pages should be on guard lest it become WinstonSmithPedia. I'd like Jimmy's Appeal (for money) to follow Jimmy's Apology for acting as Cited Authority of the Church of Climatology, incidentally...lol.

Apropos the content of that article:
"When confronted by a snake or other large predator the monitor rolls onto its back and grasps a hind leg in its mouth forming a ring with its body and making itself harder for the animal to swallow whole."


{| style="border: 5px solid #ABCDEF ; background-color: #FFFFFF;"
The above is pure baloney. Dan Bennett was once shown a small sav that had been in a bag with others and had defensively locked on to its own tail. I'm sure the boys had a good laugh at him behind his back.
|rowspan="2" style="vertical-align:middle;" |
The defense of a sav in a tight spot is to clamp onto the enemy and lock. This is wonderfully effective against a snake, one of the predators that can follow them down their burrows, because it cuts off the snake's circulation, resulting in death, and absolutely prevents the snake from swallowing anything past the clamped off part.

There is no way in nature a sav will

a) roll over on his back for defense,

b)bite himself for any reason,

c)save himself from being eaten with any passive defense - snakes are not their primary predators and anything else will pick them apart in pieces.

Dan Bennett strove to fill a small pamphlet with meager content and that was overboard on the effort to fluff it out. Dan does not keep reptiles or do much actual scholarship on any topic. He seeks an income as an activist/advocate and he's searching for an endangered animal that can capture the public fancy. He is hardly a reputable authority on anything about animals except what he can produce data for.

File:Sgt. Will Gardner Poster.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Misplaced Pages non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
