Talk:MLA Style Manual

Works cited, italic or underline for book titles?
This page says the in the Works cited page that titles of books are in italic however every other handbook/website I have seen for MLA format seems to say that titles of books in the works cited page are underlined and not italic. I don't have a copy of the actual "The MLA Style Manual" 3rd edition (or any other edition) so it's possible they changed it and my information is just out of date as my handbooks are from roughly 5 or 6 years ago, however that seems unlikely. Could someone that has an actual current manual double check this? Then if neccessary change the page to reflect the accurate format. 70.156.236.7 (talk) 21:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As of 2009, the official MLA standard is to italicize rather than underline.--Fez2005 (talk) 08:08, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Page needs work
The reference citations need to use a hanging indent. As it stands, those examples are incorrect. This is certainly not the kind of information stewardship that wikipedians should endorse.--143.88.86.146 18:40, 30 September 2005 (UTC) user:smallwhitelight
 * Agreed; this page needs a lot of work. For starters, I shortened the journal example so it will fit on one line (hopefully—I'm using a wide screen so I can't confirm that).  --zenohockey 02:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Since the handbook is in the sixth edition, wouldn't it be nice for the image to be of the sixth edition? --Anon

Date of publication/retrieval
From current article:
 * "Note that MLA style calls for both the date of publication (or its latest update) and the date on which the information was retrieved."

This seems only applicable to online sources from the examples given, right? Shawnc 20:13, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, naturally. The date a paper publication is "accessed" (i.e. read) is irrelevant.

Actually, that it is not irrelevant. For example, lets say that you write a paper, and you use an online source, but in the time that it takes for you to hand the paper in,the website that you used gets editted or taken down, and then the teacher or professor goes to check that url, and what happens its not there, and they accuse you of making it up. That is why you use the both the Dates for accessed and publication.
 * Key word: "paper". NickelShoe (Talk) 01:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but the previous poster was referring to paper publications.. not online ones.

Indenting
I'm pretty sure that when indenting you use five spaces rather than hitting tab, but i'm not quite sure if five spaces is universal, or somthing my teachers would require. --Lawlor421

 * When indenting, you are supposed to use five (5) spaces, NOT hitting tab once. This is according to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 6th Edition.

 * Of course, hitting tab might give you the spacing of 5 spaces.... So ... Besides whats the freaking big deal? 5 spaces.. 5.5 spaces.. 7 spaces for godsake! Will the world of grading english papers collapse if people all use different tab spacing ???? Get a damn life MLA. Fresheneesz 20:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The big freaking deal is when your paper gets to the publishing stage. Correct use of tab, line breaks (instead of hitting ENTER or even a soft return), spaces after periods, hyphens, en and em dashes, you name it -- formatting really matters when your paper is given to a publisher. Of course, there is no shortage of old editors who demand everything be done according to how they used to do it on a typewriter (2 spaces after periods, NO tab use, etc.). Mabsal (talk) 21:31, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Aw, c'mon. Academic journals take word submissions. They're not that picky about how formatting appears on paper--i.e., how long are the tabs.184.77.32.182 (talk) 14:16, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Easybib
Easybib is not a free service and does not belong with the services that are free. AgentSmith15 16:25, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Um, yes it is. Unless by "The Free Online Citation Service" it's participating in Opposite Day.--TheRaven7 00:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Easybib is free for simple use, but it charges yearly service to use any of the advanced features and to see how you would parathenitcally cite a source. You also must pay to have it generate ANY APA information. Aubray1741 14:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

disputed template
That first paragraph really does not seem accurate or NPOV. Please state WHO claims that MLA is the "most often used" style-guide in those areas (to make NPOV), and provide a citation to prove it (accuracy). It just doesn't seem to me that MLA would completely dominate all those areas. The links at the bottom might also be POV. Bayerischermann 03:44, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I read "it prescribes the style most often used in ..." to mean that the style is more often used in the areas listed than in other areas. It may be POV, but worse, it's unclear!  Starwiz 00:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I changed it to "often," which is indubitably accurate and clear. --zenohockey 04:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Indeed. But a citation would also be welcome. Bayerischermann 23:12, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Importance in High School English classes
I'm a junior in High School and I've come to notice that my English teachers seem to care more about the proper use of MLA formatting than what we actually write. Should there be a section in the article about the pressing urgence teachers seem to put on getting this format down correctly? Does anybody know why it's such a big deal? It seems absurd to me to spend so much time on a simple formatting procedure instead of actually writing or doing literary analysis... -albrozdude 05:05, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I know what you mean. I'm a HS teacher myself, and have had this conversation with my colleagues in the English department, and they've chalked it up to a fear of plagarism found in colleges. Colleges are very wary of student plagarism, and will come down on it hard, but they never bother to tell you how to cite properly, they expect you to get it in High School, so HS's spend an inordinate amount of time on citations in MLA format. Of course, whether or not you use MLA format depends on which field you major in. I distinctly remember getting into an argument with a teacher whe I was in HS because I was using APA for a science paper, which is more standard. I was right, of course. oknazevad 04:12, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I ' ve gone through high school and almost all of college myself, and although both have been stringent about formatting, it has only mattered when it came to the Bibliography page. Honestly, nothing else as regards formatting will really matter as long as you implement some basic sense, such as printing only on one side. Who prints a paper for grading on both sides?? 75.180.19.73 08:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Whats wrong with two sided papers?? But i mean.. who has a printer that'll let you do that.. or the patience neccessary to flip the pages manually and feed them back in? I *definately* agree that there should be a section dealing with how, where, and *why* MLA is used today. Perhaps also a critisism section. Personally, I find it a social tragedy that teachers spend more time screwing around with MLA crap than trying to teach students how to write. Our schools are in poor shape folks. Fresheneesz 21:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Quite honestly, I've learned both APA and MLA style formats because it doesn't matter which department you have classes from in college, your always going to run into one professor who wants APA and another who wants MLA. They're set in their ways and there is no way you can change it. It sucks a lot. (Steve 21:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC))

 * I really don't see how this "sucks a lot"; the important thing about bibliographical citation formats is just to follow them consistently; if your high-school or college teacher requires APA format, he or she informs you of that requirement, and you follow that format consistently; if he or she requires MLA format, you follow that format consistently. Consistency is a hallmark of citation style formats.  You need to consult the official organization's (APA, MLA) presentation of its format to know precisely what it is.  Online guides are summaries of the official style guides; for absolute precision, one consults the actual style guide published by the organization originating it (APA, MLA official publications).  In a way, it is useful to consider the online and printed handouts offered by college and university English and writing departments (writing centers, etc.) as helpful guides to interpreting the official style guides.  You can use them to help you with understanding such official style guides (same is the case with ACS for the sciences).  Introductory writing courses in colleges and universities try to familiarize their students with the various style guides that will be required in courses in the various disciplines that these students will encounter.  If you can learn how to follow one format, you can learn how to follow any format.  It is not a question of being "set in their ways"; teachers are trained in their own disciplines, which have style guide requirements for paper writing and publications.  They are teaching you how to succeed in those disciplines (which it is their job to do).  When students graduate from high school and college and go on to have jobs, they will find that they may have to write reports or even to publish documents according to the prevailing style guides for those jobs.  High school and college writing is training for doing the work that may come later in their lives.  If one wants to succeed not only in school but in work later, it is very useful to follow assignments as they are designed to teach you the basics for adapting to these later requirements.  (This is what I have told thousands of college and university students over decades of teaching research-based writing.  I consider it helpful to encourage such an attitude toward following instructors' requirements in writing assignments.  It makes sense in "the real world" encountered after school; but it is also important to remember that school is also part of "real life.") -NYScholar (talk) 02:52, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I do not think that teachers pay more attention to the format of the paper than to its content; the problem of errors in format is that they detract and distract from the content. An error-free essay is much easier to read than an error-filled essay.  Once the format is correct, it is non-distracting and a reader can simply focus on the content.  Both form and content are important.  For an essay or a paper or report to be "convincing" (if it is an argumentive essay or a research-based paper or report), its writer needs to show evidence that he or she knows what s/he is doing; correct format impresses a reader with the writer's ability to show command over the discipline about which he or she is writing.  Incorrect format makes the reader less confident of the writer's command over the discipline.  If notes and bibliography (works cited, references) are in the proper format for the discipline, the reader will find the essay/paper/report stronger (more convincing) than otherwise.  (That is a kind of "rule of thumb" for persuasive expository writing.  Learn the basics [e.g., style format] early on and it will become "second nature" the more experience that one has in writing in that discipline.) --NYScholar (talk) 03:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I work in one of the campus writing centers you describe. It is such a shame when nursing students are more freaked out about how to cite some obscure weirdity in their bibliography than the actual content and outline of their paper because the prof marks 5 points for every deviation. While I understand the need to correctly cite sources, the "point" of college, high school, whatever is NOT to make yourself SEEM convincing. Mostly, citing sources is a nicety to other researchers (Oh, by the way, I found that fact on page 9 in Smith's article called "Blatty Blah." You should check it out.). It is often presented as a way to keep the student from getting in trouble or from "making things up," but that's not necessarily the case. If there is a "point" to writing programs on campus, it should be how to create a clearly organized argument of synthesized data, not pointing out how well you follow a style manual.
 * For students perplexed at citing their sources, ask yourself, is this a good source? If you are having a hard time making the information of the source "fit" your citation guidelines (no author, obscure date, the author herself doesn't use citations . . .), you might want to pick a new source. And if you want to complain (esp. about formatting), I suggest looking at APA style, especially the formatting rules (Running heads and all that). MLA is quite arguably the simplest both in citation style and paper formatting. Mabsal (talk) 21:22, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Should the URL in the bibliography not refer to Wikipedia?
Not too knowledgable about the MLA, but apparently they say that Wikipedia is NOT a viable source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gesiwuj (talk • contribs) 16:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
 * I guess I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Are you saying that you're writing a paper write now and you want to know if you should cite Wikipedia? If so, that's something you'll have to take up with your instructor.  However, you have to put Wikipedia in your in-text citations and works cited page if you use information or quotations from Wikipedia.  When you're at the article you're using for information, click "cite this article" on the left hand side, and that'll give you what you need.

 * If you were asking a different question, post again and I'll try and help. NickelShoe (Talk) 17:17, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Why the hell does it exist?
Ok, first of all MLA needs to die. Second of all, this page should give some info at the alleged benefits of using its format - and perhaps a little history or society section on MLA's use in both acedemia and the real world. Do things like the position of your name and data, or the font size, or the margins, or any of the other specific bullshit, help "prevent plagiarism" or help "YOU in your research" ????? NO. It doesn't. Its just nitpicky bullshit and needs to die. Fresheneesz 20:56, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * There are a couple of benefits to uniformity in this somewhat trivial matters. One, no smartass will hand in a paper with 3-inch margins in 20-point font. Two, if the teacher can avert her eyes from the student's name until after she's read it, she won't be affected by her preconceptions about the author (one of my English teachers had us put our names on the last page for that reason).
 * Margins, text size, and text style are not specific to MLA.
 * Yes they are. Says the MLA Handbook, 6th ed.: "Choose a standard, easily readable typeface (e.g., Times Roman) and type size (e.g., 12 point)....Except for page numbers, leave margins of one inch at the top and bottom and on both sides of the text." --zenohockey 18:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Right, but it's not like MLA has the only style guide. NickelShoe (Talk) 17:10, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No, but to obtain the uniformity benefits I outlined above, everyone in a class or every submitter to a journal should agree on margins and font. --zenohockey 07:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Your suggestions for the article are good ones. Does anyone know of any sources on that? Maybe someone at the MLA would know... --zenohockey 04:08, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Good point.. --NYScholar 00:52, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

The MLA Style Manual
Re your edits to MLA Style Manual regarding a work's original date of publication (a relatively minor point, all things considered, but since there is substantive disagreement, I thought I'd spell out my case)—

I think there's some confusion here about what "original date of publication" means. Compare these two pairs of references:

 * Crane, Stephen. The Red Badge of Courage: An Episode of the American Civil War. 1895. Ed. Fredson Bowers. Charlottesville: UP of Virginia, 1975. [This one is taken right from the Handbook.]
 * ---. The Red Badge of Courage. 1895. Ed. Donald Pizer. 3rd ed. New York: Norton, 1994.

 * Carson, Robert C., James N. Butcher, and Susan Mineka. Abnormal Psychology and Modern Life. 11th ed. Boston: Allyn, 2000.
 * Coleman, James C. Abnormal Psychology and Modern Life. 4th ed. Glenview: Scott, 1972.

The last two are two editions of the same textbook (Carson, Butcher, and Mineka xiii) but they certainly don't share the same "original publication date" in the way that the two editions of Red Badge of Courage do. The Crane volumes are nearly entirely comprised of text lifted directly from the 1895 publication of the book, while the connection between the 11th edition of a textbook and the 4th edition (or between the 6th edition of the Handbook and the 1st) is severely attenuated.

Also note that none of the examples in the Handbook's (I don't own the Manual) section 5.6.14 (A Book Published in a Second or Subsequent Edition) includes a previous date. For example:

 * Bondanella, Peter. Italian Cinema: From Neorealism to the Present. 3rd ed. New York: Continuum, 2001.

--zenohockey 03:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Dates of first editions (first publication) are given when one wants readers to know the original date of publication: In a note it appears with the semi-colon preceding the place of publication (within parentheses); in a bibliographical entry it does appear set off by periods. See MLA Style Manual, where I have added the relevant entries. It is important to know that the first edition of The MLA Style Manual has as its first listed author, Walter S. Achtert [also first listed co-author of earlier editions of The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers]. ... Revised and updated this comment. May add more later. --NYScholar 03:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)] [Corrected a link description in article. --NYScholar 01:05, 11 November 2007 (UTC)] Gibaldi revised later editions and became listed as the sole author (otherwise Achtert would have received credit--perhaps he still should, since the first edition, which he co-wrote, is the basis for the revised 2nd ed) and the title expanded. [According to a comment posted on my talk page by Achtert's brother on 4 Dec. 2007, the MLA says that Achtert was "not involved" in the "preparation" of the 1998 ed. This comment was also posted as a reply to a user's comment in my own talk page and copied here.] By the way, I had an editorial interpolation in the "Works cited" (in MLA format it should be "Works Cited," but Wikipedia MoS headings don't capitalize all the words in a heading) stating that the "Works cited" illustrates how entries are constructed; that is what I meant. There actually was no "Works cited" section in that article at all until I added it. In order for it to include all the works cited (from the lead on), it needs the entries that I have added to it more recently. [I will be archiving this exchange in the near future. I am mostly logged off Wikipedia doing other work, and I really don't want to be distracted by minor editing issues.] I am moving the pertinent parts of this exchange to the talk page of the relevant article, where others need to consult it. Please scroll up and read my N.B. section [on my talk page]. Thanks. --NYScholar 07:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC) [Updated. --NYScholar (talk) 02:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC); --NYScholar (talk) 04:16, 5 December 2007 (UTC)]

The changes that I have made to the "Works cited" ("Works Cited" in MLA style) section contain the pertinent editions of both books mentioned in the lead. These are simple ways to indicate the editions referred to in the lead and to distinguish among the first edition and the subsequent editions of the books pertinent to this subject (The MLA Style Manual). The examples given above are not as pertinent because the subject of this article is this book and the one based on it (The MLA Handbook for Writers ...). --NYScholar 07:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Since writing that comment, I created a new article on The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. All the examples and quotations presented in this article on The MLA Style Manual need to come from this book and not the other one.  Some cleanup may be needed.  I do not have the time to do more on this article; someone who has in hand the 2nd ed. needs to check the accuracy of what is presented in this article.  If necessary, new parethetical citations need to be added (I've converted some).  Section numbers are useful in referring to parts of this book.  I have provided section numbers as well as page numbers in the parenthetical source citations.  It is most effective if this article on MLA documentation style conforms to and illustrates this very style.  Inaccuracies in citations and bibliography entries would be highly misleading for readers of this article; same comments pertain to The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, from which most if not all of the examples in this article appear to have been taken.  That was very misleading, given the title of this article. --NYScholar 11:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Recent changes
I have created a separate article for The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. The examples used in this article on The MLA Style Manual need to come from this book (most recent ed.; [3rd ed.]), not the other one. Scroll up to earlier discussion; the "Document format" matter relates to formatting documents that are student-generated research papers being presented to teachers and professors for credit and grading in courses in schools, colleges, and universities. The MLA Style Manual is directed more to [graduate students and] scholars who are submitting articles and books for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presses. Students would do better to have the separate article on the Handbook to read and consult. This development and coordination of both articles is still in progress. Thank you. --NYScholar 08:50, 7 October 2007 (UTC) [updated --NYScholar 11:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC)] These articles are also cross-linked and both are accessible via the template in top right hand corner of each Style guide. (Updated.) --NYScholar 22:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC) [updated to 3rd ed., published in May 2008; to be used in MLA publications as of early 2009. --NYScholar (talk) 10:24, 25 April 2009 (UTC)]

From the MLA site's description of The MLA Style Manual: "Since its publication in 1985, the MLA Style Manual has been the standard guide for graduate students, teachers, and scholars in the humanities and for professional writers in many fields. . . ." The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers is geared more toward undergraduate students and their teachers. --NYScholar 23:10, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Updated and reorganized
Updated and reorganized this article to account for publication of the 3rd edition of this book. --NYScholar (talk) 01:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Recent editing history
For contexts of some recent editing, please see User talk:NYScholar/Archive 25. Thanks. --NYScholar (talk) 05:25, 9 March 2009 (UTC) [Updated link after archiving my own talk page. --NYScholar (talk) 10:13, 10 March 2009 (UTC)]

Merge from MLA Handbook
The MLA Handbook is just an abridged version of the MLA Style Manual'', for students. We should have a combined article, like we do for the variants of [New] Hart's Rules / [New] Oxford Style Manual / Oxford Manual of Style / Oxford Dictionary for Writer's and Editors. This will help prevent any WP:CONTENTFORKing with regard to MLA style. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:00, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes,the handbook and manual should be combine but have different sections on this page to avoid confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:91 (talk) 23:10, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * This isn't straightforward, as the lede notes that the MLA announced in April 2016 MLA Handbook will henceforth be "the authoritative source for MLA style", and that the 2008 third edition of the MLA Style Manual would be the final edition of the larger work. So, can I suggest merging in the reverse direction, given that the Handbook is the definitive and ongoing publication going forward. Klbrain (talk) 07:02, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Sofia Coppola

Place of birth?
English article says born in Los Angeles, CA. All other languages say born in New York City. IMDB also says born in New York City. I am confused...

Same with day of birth: some sources say 14 May 1971, some tell us 12 May, some 13 May. Is there a reason for this?

Marie Antoinette
Is it right to say the reception for Marie Antoinette at Cannes was chilly? There were boos, but that's the way it works at Cannes; I'm sure cheers were reported too. The reviews were fairly favourable.

Elektrobank video
It says, "She played a gymnast in the video for "Elektrobank" by the Chemical Brothers, directed by her then-husband Spike Jonze." The video came out in 1997, but they weren't married until 1999.

Removing Opera note
"'Coppola will direct the opera Manon Lescaut for the 2009-2010 season at the Opéra de Montpellier.[1]'" The information was false

Removing Irrelevant Information
I'm sure whoever made this article absolutely loves Sophia Coppola. Encouraging and promoting women in the industry is always great! But a lot of this information reads less like your average Wikipedia article about a public figure and more like a fanpage. I have gone ahead and deleted the following, and added my justifications for doing so:

EDIT: I messed up by forgetting to remove the sections. I removed the "Favorite Film" and "Styles and Influences" section. My justifications for it are in the talk below.

Favorite films
In a 2022 poll with Sight and Sound, Coppola named these ten films as her favorite.

 * A Place in the Sun (1951)
 * Seven Samurai (1954)
 * La notte (1961)
 * The Heartbreak Kid (1972)
 * Bugsy Malone (1976)
 * Rumble Fish (1983)
 * Purple Rain (1984)
 * Lost in America (1985)
 * The Piano (1993)
 * In the Mood for Love (2000)

 * We do not need an entire section about Sofia Coppola's favorite films. If someone wants to find a place to put it, go ahead. But we do not need an entire section.

Itawamba Community College

Itawamba Community College is a public community college with its main campus in Fulton, Mississippi. Additional campuses are in Belden and Tupelo.

History
Itawamba Community College began as an extension of Itawamba County Agricultural High School, one of the largest high schools in Mississippi, which was organized in 1920. In 1941, the trustees extended the curriculum to provide for two years of college work. However, World War II postponed the plans for buildings and equipment to pursue college status. In March 1948, the boards of supervisors and school boards of Itawamba, Lee and Monroe counties unanimously and harmoniously agreed to support Itawamba Junior College. A full freshman college curriculum was offered for the first time during the 1948-49 session, and sophomore work, during 1949-50. Pontotoc County began supporting the institution in 1953, and Chickasaw County in 1972.

The ICC Tupelo Campus, which was organized in July 1963, operated in vacant buildings and shops procured from businesses of the city of Tupelo. In July 1966, the school relocated into a 65500 sqft complex, which has grown to include 11 buildings. In the fall of 1987, the name of the institution was changed to Itawamba Community College to more adequately reflect its mission and purpose.

In 2015, ICC announced their 5-year plan for the Tupelo campus. The 5-year plan involves demolishing the administration building and gym building. The school will build a new academic building which will house classes, a cafeteria, and other student services.

Campus
The main campus is located in Fulton, and a branch campus in Tupelo and all technical courses are located at the Belden Center.

Organization and administration
The college serves Chickasaw, Itawamba, Lee, Monroe, and Pontotoc counties. The president is Dr. Jay Allen.

Academics
The college is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate degrees.

Aristóbulo del Valle

Aristóbulo del Valle (15 March 1845 – 29 January 1896) was a lawyer and politician born in Dolores,. He was, together with Leandro Alem, one of the founders of the Radical Civic Union.

Del Valle studied in the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires. He abandoned his studies to join the army during the Paraguayan War, took them up later and graduated. As a young man, he worked in the El Nacional newspaper of the city of Buenos Aires.

He entered politics supporting Adolfo Alsina, and was elected diputado (member of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies) in 1870. In 1876 he was elected to the Argentine Senate, and presided over the Upper House in 1880–1881.

He took part in the activism against the government of Miguel Juárez Celman in 1890 and was even considered an instigator of the uprisings of the 1890 revolution, due to which he was forced to leave his senatorial office, but he was re-elected the next year. From that point on, he supported the formation of the Radical Civic Union, an offshoot of the Civic Union proposed by Leandro Alem.

Del Valle also served in several Ministries during the term of President Luis Sáenz Peña (1892–1895). After his retirement, he taught law in the University of Buenos Aires. He died in his office at the School of Law in 1896, and is buried in La Recoleta Cemetery.

Talk:Ellen Ripley

Corrections
The year the Ripley was born in and the year that Alien takes place in were given in Ripley's biography and the Nostromo Flight Plan, both of which are available on the Alien DVD, which means they probably are canon. I've also removed the mention of Ripley's daughter dying of cancer. In the movie Burke never said what the cause of death was. The line about her dying of cancer is from the script. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.143.84 (talk) 12:45, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Another thing, Clemens mentioning that there hasn't been a case of cholera in 200 is probably a mistake on the part of the script writers of Alien 3. The dates were clearly indicated on the Alien DVD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.143.84 (talk) 12:49, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

 * If it's not in the film or explicitly confirmed by writers/producers, it's not canon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.170.106.20 (talk) 20:28, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Gender stereotype?
I'd like to see a section added on the impact of the character and her role in changing gender stereotypes...never heard this before, but it could definitely use some elaboration. 208.38.59.91 00:37, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Merge
The "clone" should be merged with Ellen Ripley. It's essentially the same fictional character, just at a different moment in her fictional life.  BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 15:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You know what?I think we should merge it.Even though I have no right to share my opinion. -Every guy at a truck stop —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.90.11.51 (talk) 17:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Should be merged with Ellen Ripley under a sub-heading. [User:203.206.23.150|203.206.23.150]] 06:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * No. Ellen Ripley had a life before the clone, a life extremely relevant to a generation of women (inc. me) so no - the clone is a device, Ellen Ripley is an icon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.69.187.238 (talk) 21:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * We aren't debating who's an icon, we are talking about relevance to the article, and the clone doesn't deserve her own page.  BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 21:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmmmn. To my mind, the clone deserves maybe a page, which I won't do, but Ellen Ripley deserves to not be subsumed into the clone page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandranova (talk • contribs) 21:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Explain how the clone fits wikipedia's notability requirements? She was a clone of an iconic character, so she should be on that page. This isn't like Clark Kent and Superman here, it's like The Shadow.  BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 21:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * No mate, that's mad - Ellen Ripley escaped and flamethrowered the aliens WAY before she finally got cloned - there is no way the Ripley clone is Ripley. I think you are a Weyland Yutani servitor, and I congratulate you on that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandranova (talk • contribs) 21:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Please understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not some fancruft website. You have to follow the policies and guidelines of this site, and the "clone" doesn't fit those guidelines. She isn't notable. She's a footnote of the character of Ellen Ripley.  BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 21:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * That's great, I'm not a fan maniac anyway, Ellen Ripley is an established character and the clone doean't touch that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandranova (talk • contribs) 21:57, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Again, are you following what the discussion is even about? It's about the merging of the clone article to this article. It has nothing to do with Ripley's iconic status, or established history, it's about the clone.  BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 21:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Okay I've maybe missed something, I though this was about Clone and Ellen, will go back and check that... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandranova (talk • contribs) 22:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Nope, I'm right, Ripley the character isn't Ripley the clone. Not at all. Wikipedia may be many things but innaccurate, no. Ripley the clone is a device made up over a decade after Ripley the warrant officer who escaped the alien. 1979. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandranova (talk • contribs) 22:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

←It's about the article pages. Currently, There is an Ellen Ripley article, and a separate article on her clone. See the tag at the top of the article mainspace. The merger is about moving the Clone article to this article. Your "system of thinking" would mean that we should separate Luke Skywalker the moisture farmer from his Jedi Knight counterpart. Technically they are two different points in the character's history. The Clone is not a "new" character, it's a spin from the original character, and thus it's information should be on this page.  BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 22:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, go for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandranova (talk • contribs) 22:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Where's the review of ADF's EXCELLENT novelisations of this series? We may not agree on wkikipeajaness (mostly coz I'm new to it) but those novels... where are they mentioned? and why not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandranova (talk • contribs) 22:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Are you gonna bite my smoochie if I post bits of ADF's novels>? Like to know before I bother posting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandranova (talk • contribs) 22:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Why are you posting anything? This is a discussion about a merger. Please go read Wiki's 5 pillars and then come back.  BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 22:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm posting because I thought I had something to add. You don't, you pointed me on, great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandranova (talk • contribs) 22:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree, the clone page should be merged -- seems to me as though they are indistinguishable from each other except to the most fannish fan. Accounting4Taste 21:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

 * A way to do this would be to post the article about the clone in an "alternateive versions" section of the article, or to divide the biography by movies, in which case the clone would be discussed under "resurection" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.226.255.215 (talk) 11:20, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the clone should get a subcategory in the main Ellen Ripley article. --DrBat 22:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Support merge per Bignole. The Ripley clone is another part of Ripley's life and so should be in the main article. Bowsy (review me!) 12:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Merging to me would just be confusing to the reader, and is not necessary. I am a fan of the Alien series, but not over-zealous about it.  So I guess I would oppose this.  Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 18:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge Um seriously, why are there two?--Marhawkman (talk) 18:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

 * I say keep them apart. The Clone may share Ripley's memories and DNA but they are different people all together.  FaithLehaneThe  Vampire  Slayer  15:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Number Eight is distinct enough to warrant her own subsection, but not enough to warrant a whole separate article, so I've reorganized the article to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.170.106.20 (talk) 20:30, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

In-universe style
The whole article reads like a biography, with no mention of the movies the events took place in, besides the intro at the top of the page. Apart from just adding movie titles in parentheses, what can be done to fix this? Pooneil 22:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Daughter? Other details?
The article lacks specific details and citations. For example, in what version of the movie/script was her daughter mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.23.137.41 (talk) 03:30, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

 * It definitely does need more citations, but FWIW the daughter bit comes from the special edition of Aliens (available on DVD & as part of the Quadrilogy set). --IllaZilla (talk) 06:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Do other details even exist in the canon? Drakkenfyre (talk) 06:57, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Ten Months?
In the first film, it was remarked that it would take ten months to get back to Earth; however, from the dialogue, the one who spoke mentioned the slowdown time and getting into orbit (I can't remember the quote verbatim). This seems to imply that they would have gotten to Earth sooner had they not stopped and taken the time to (apparently) decelerate, then accelerate again. Can anybody clarify this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.15.127.221 (talk) 05:04, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Seems like common sense. If you stop traveling, set the ship down on a planetoid, and have a little adventure, naturally it's going to take you longer to get home than if you hadn't stopped at all. --IllaZilla (talk) 05:09, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Not what the Original Poster intended. I think they were comparing fictional space speeds. Aliens tends to use an older more "Einstein-ian" view of space travel, similar to the Slowerthanlight website. As such, the ship has mass which needs to be accelerated up and down (in space) before travel between stars. THUS: It took Ripley 57 years to reach Earth because her ship and life pod were not "at speed" as the ship was before they responded to the distress call. The Nostromo had to have had powerful engines to get to speed, and most of the ship must have been fuel storage, which is the only explanation (beyond just plain looking cool on camera) for the size of the ships in the Alien movies and the tiny crews — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.43.18.19 (talk) 18:52, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

 * What does any of this have to do with the Wikipedia article on the character? --IllaZilla (talk) 22:25, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Character Description
How come there's so many referenced stories and history but no actual description of the character?--119.193.155.93 (talk) 09:37, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Because most people confuse "character description" for "extensive plot rehash". --IllaZilla (talk) 09:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Significant changes
I've tried to improve the page. I've made precisions, and found many sources. However I am french and, although I have done my been, I think I have made many misspellings. Please be kind to correct my mistakes, because I can't do better alone. --Hyliad (d), 00:56, 16 january 2011 (TTC)

the article needs more information on the character being in the alien games
alien trilogy isnt mentioned. i cant see alien 3(super nintendo game) anywhere in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.59.120 (talk) 10:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Be Bold, 84. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.38.59.161 (talk) 23:26, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Best of...
On film.com, Ripley is ranked as the second greatest action hero of all time, after James Bond. Should this be included in the section where it currently stands the following?

"Ripley has been selected as the eighth-greatest hero in American cinema history by the American Film Institute, as the fifth-coolest hero in pop culture by Entertainment Weekly,[2] the ninth-greatest movie character ever by Empire (the highest-placing female of the list), and the eighth-best movie character of all time by Premiere,[3] In 2011, John Scalzi called her "Clearly the Best Female Character in Scifi Film"."

Videogame detail
Is it really appropriate for this article to devote more space to what we learn about Ripley from a spinoff 2014 videogame about Ripley's daughter, than what we're shown in the first two films combined? --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:01, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, if you find the films section short, expand it. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to shorten a section just because it's longer than the others. Sebastian James what's the T? 17:55, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Ontario Centre of Forensic Sciences

The Centre of Forensic Sciences (CFS) is a laboratory providing forensic science services to law enforcement agencies in Ontario, Canada. It is part of the government of Ontario Ministry of Solicitor General public safety division.

Founding of the Centre of Forensic Sciences
The roots of the centre are in the creation of the Attorney General's Laboratory in 1951. The first home was at an old mansion at 11 Queen's Park Crescent and then moved to the old Victoria Hospital for Sick Children at College and Elizabeth Streets. It was renamed the Centre of Forensic Sciences in 1966, transferred to the new Ministry of the Solicitor General in 1972 and again to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services in 2002. The Northern Regional Laboratory was opened in Sault Ste. Marie in 1992 to serve Northern Ontario.

The Northern Regional Laboratory was mandated by the Ontario Government in 1986 and became operational in 1992 at Roberta Bondar Place in Sault Ste. Marie. The NRL was started with a staff of 13 personnel under Lab Manager Dr. John Wells, PhD. The NRL serves areas north and west of Sudbury.

Modern era
The inquiries, and the Askov decision (dismissed charges from unreasonable delay in awaiting crown preparation for trial), in the 1990s led CFS to receive increased staffing and reorganize to improve the speed and quality of forensic services.

The Kaufman Commission of Inquiry
The Kaufman Inquiry was ordered by the Ontario Government to investigate and make recommendations regarding the wrongful conviction of Guy Paul Morin in the murder of Christine Jessop in 1984. A substantial portion of the arrest warrant and prosecution case against Mr. Morin relied on hair and fibre evidence supplied by CFS. Additionally it came to light that CFS had inadequate tracking of evidence being processed through the lab. Problems were also exposed regarding inappropriate police communications between police and forensic scientists. Mr. Morin was exonerated by DNA evidence in 1995. The Kaufman Inquiry resulted in 119 recommendations of which a number applied to the role of CFS.

The Campbell Inquiry
The Campbell Inquiry in 1999 looked into the police and justice system failings around the Paul Bernardo case. As a sexual assault suspect, Bernardo was sampled for DNA comparison to case evidence by Metro Toronto Police in November 1990 but the sample was not analyzed by CFS until December 1992. During this time Bernardo had moved to another region and committed four additional sexual assaults and two sadistic sexual murders.

2007 Annual Report of the Office of the Auditor General of Ontario
Chapter 3 of the 2007 annual Auditor General's report dealt with the Centre of Forensic Sciences. Specifically, it made observations and recommendations about CFS turn-around time performance and efficiency. The report made 5 recommendations regarding; improving case turn-around times, consulting clients about turn-around targets, tracking effects of urgent cases, analysis of causes for longer than target turn-around times, and tracking efficiency in dollars and inter-laboratory comparisons.

The Inquiry into Pediatric Forensic Pathology in Ontario (Goudge Inquiry)
The Goudge Inquiry was initiated to look at the work of Dr. Charles Smith, who erred in numerous pediatric forensic pathology cases through the 1990s. The inquiry also examined the system for forensic pathology in Ontario as a whole. Although this inquiry did not directly concern CFS there were several recommendations applicable to CFS. The director of CFS, Dr. Ray Prime testified at the inquiry regarding CFS quality system and positive changes to the forensic lab stemming from the Kaufman Inquiry. The Inquiry recommended CFS to collaborate with the Office of the Chief Coroner to improve turn-around times for toxicology reports, which are usually prevalent in forensic pathology. Also, CFS is to collaborate with the Office of the Chief Coroner to better prioritize urgent forensic samples. The report also asked the director of CFS (or delegate) to sit on a governing council to guide improvements in the work of the Office of the Chief Coroner and forensic pathology.

Locations and jurisdictions
The main location for the CFS is 25 Morton Shulman Avenue in Toronto. The state-of-the-art laboratory was completed in 2012, and currently houses the Office of the Chief Coroner, the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service and the Center of Forensic Sciences. The building, designed by Stantec and built under a public-private partnership by Carillion, provides 663,000 square feet of accommodation and has the capacity for more than 2,500 autopsies and over 15,000 forensic science cases per year.

Tower of Kamyenyets

The Tower of Kamyenyets (Камянецкая вежа; Каменецкая башня), also called the White Tower (Белая вежа), is the main landmark of the town of Kamyenyets in Belarus. The name Bielaja Vieža (alternative transliteration: Belaya Vezha), which literally means White Tower or White Fortress in Belarusian, presumably derives from the tower's proximity to the Belavezhskaya Pushcha Forest, but not from its color, which has been brick-red through the ages, never white.

The first record in the chronicles about the foundation of the tower dates from 1276. Erected between 1271 and 1289 by the architect Oleksa as a frontier stronghold on the northern border of the Principality of Volhynia, it is the only such tower remaining to this day in Belarus. (Once similar towers were built in Brest, Grodno, Turaw, Navahradak, but they were destroyed in the course of wars.)

Today it is a national historic site. Standing atop a gentle rise overlooking the Liasnaja river, the tower is the main landmark of Kamyenyets today. Since 1960 the tower houses a branch of the Brest regional museum. On January 30, 2004, the site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, in the Cultural category, but in 2015 it was removed from the list.

Foundation
The advantageous location on the stony steep bank of the Liasnaja River for the construction of the frontier stronghold, a castle with a keep on the northern border of Volhynia principality was found by Oleksa. Vladimir Vasilkovich, the prince of Volhynia, liked the place and ordered Oleksa to build the castle.

Layout
The castle was built as an enclosed community. Like many European castles, it had a great round tower, on the raised mound (motte), enclosed by a moat and the river on the northern side, and an adjoining enclosure (bailey), that was completely destroyed in 1903. This type of the motte-and-bailey castle appeared in the 10th and 11th centuries between the Rhine and Loire rivers and eventually spread to most of Western Europe and even to the area of the present Belarus. The red-brick tower with service and residential rooms on 5 levels inside was actually a donjon or a keep, that was quite common in France and England till the 16th century. It is 30 m high, the redbrick walls are about 2.5 m thick, with a pitched roof at the top.

Brickwork
The tower was entirely built of brick. Brick construction was rarely used in this part of Europe until the end of the Middle Ages, because of cost. Till the 16th century mostly rubbleworks prevailed in fortifications and churches and monasteries, only some parts of exterior were built of brick. The tower traces the influence of Western Europe, where brickwork was used extensively in the late 13th – early 14th century.

Unlike the narrow loopholes on lower levels, the pointed big lancet windows and niches on the upper floor are an excellent example of early Gothic architecture in Belarus. The openings of the windows and niches were plastered and whitewashed. The windows were designed to permit the entry of light into the apartments, where the nobility used to live during sieges. Glass windows was another contribution to Gothic architecture. It is apparent that the residents were eager to make themselves at home in the keep. The upper part of the tower was furnished with battlements and a pattern of surface modeling of the brickwork, several nice ring dog tooth courses running below the battlements.

The brickwork features a peculiar Baltic bond: a course consists of 2 stretchers and 1 header. Some bricks on the exterior were damaged or dismantled by the local peasants, the brickwork was repaired in 1903 while the archeological excavations were going on around the tower. 10,000 bricks were used for the work.

Serbia and Montegro articles
Hi, I see you're in the category for those Wikipedians from Serbia & Montenegro. I'm trying to create a project whereby seperate articles for just Serbia OR Montenegro are written to an acceptable level, especially considering the possibility that 2006 may see the two nations seperate and become independent states. If that were to occur Wikipedia should have articles written to the standard of other national articles. It would be useful to have the input of Wikipedians living in the area. Please post any views here, not at my talk page. Thank You Grunners 18:25, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Bailey Ice Stream

Bailey Ice Stream (-79°N, -30°W) is an ice stream on the northern margin of the Theron Mountains, flowing west-southwest to the Filchner Ice Shelf. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Jeremy Thomas Bailey (1941–65), a British Antarctic Survey glaciologist, who with two companions died in a crevasse accident during a radio echo sounding traverse inland from Halley Station on 12 October 1965. On an earlier traverse in April 1965, Bailey sounded the upper portion of this feature.

Synergy/DE
Dear Ms. Marmins,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding Synergy/DE and the associated AfD. I appreciate your efforts, and those of your colleagues, to turn this article into a less "markety" one. However, the article in its current form is still highly biased; in fact, its contents are comprised solely of a list of features. How could that be considered "unbiased"?

Compare your article to the following: COBOL, PL/I, and RPG programming language. All of these contain sections about the history of the language, criticisms of it, and comparisons to other programming languages. And like all legitimate articles, these three provide a host of external references and citations, which is a key requirement in every encyclopedia. Your article has none of that.

On September 23 you removed the tag that was placed there by another editor. I believe that was a mistake on your part; having this tag on an article automatically places it in a highly-visible category, essentially inviting other editors to improve the article. By taking the tag off, you essentially condemned the article to remain in its current, "corporate-driven" form.

I am still puzzled by the copyright status of this article; if it was indeed written by an "independent user", why does Synergex Inc. still claim copyright to the contents? The Wikimedia Foundation is very sensitive to issues of copyright, as well as to commercial exploitation of Wikipedia.

I would be happy to see the Synergy/DE article grow to a well-balanced, informative, critical, and thoroughly-referenced article. In fact, I bet Synergex would get better publicity if you included a collection of humorous anecdotes about the language, amusing compiler bugs, or other trivia that would catch the attention of the reader. It is not too late--find a couple of experienced Wikipedia editors who have used the language; I'm sure they'd be happy to lend a hand.

In any case, the matter is no longer in my hands. Once the period for comment has ended, an independent Administrator will decide whether to keep this article or not. Owen× ☎  18:53, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sde. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sde~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:37, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:38, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Topanga Canyon Boulevard

State Route 27, commonly known by its street name Topanga Canyon Boulevard, is a state highway in the U.S. state of California that runs from the Pacific Coast Highway (California State Route 1) at Topanga State Beach near Pacific Palisades, through the Topanga Canyon in Topanga, and continuing through Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, West Hills, and Chatsworth to the Ronald Reagan Freeway (State Route 118).

As one of the only routes across the Santa Monica Mountains, SR 27 is heavily traveled by commuters from the western San Fernando Valley heading to Santa Monica or Interstate 10.

Route description

SR 27 begins at SR 1 near the Pacific Ocean at Topanga County Beach, in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County east of Malibu. It travels north as Topanga Canyon Boulevard, cutting through Topanga State Park. Upon exiting the park, SR 27 provides access to Fernwood, Topanga, Sylvia Park, and Glenview, all unincorporated. SR 27 continues winding into the San Fernando Valley, nearly entering Calabasas before entering the Los Angeles community of Woodland Hills. The route becomes a major city arterial through the valley, intersecting US 101 before entering Warner Center and Canoga Park. After traversing Chatsworth, SR 27 ends just past an interchange with the SR 118 freeway, thus providing access to the unincorporated area north of Chatsworth.

A segment of Metro Local line 150 runs on Topanga Canyon Boulevard between Ventura Boulevard and Devonshire Street.

Except for a small portion in the mountains, SR 27 is part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration. SR 27 is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System. A portion of it through Topanga Canyon has been officially designated as a scenic highway by the California Department of Transportation.

History
The original state highway system in 1933 included a highway from near Topanga Beach to Montalvo-San Fernando Road near Chatsworth. Two years later, this was numbered as Route 156. The route was redesignated as SR 27 in the 1964 state highway renumbering.

Talk:Stemmer

Merge Discussion

 * Stemmer and stemming algorithm should be merged into a single article called 'Stemming', which should discuss 'stemmers' and 'stemming algorithms'. (Jfroelich Dec 2006). I would also remove the commericial references. Also, can anyone point out the why the 'See Also' section contains a link to an article about the asterisk?

 * Yes, I think this article should be merged with stemming algorithm. Spalding 21:21, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Please merge them. (Bob Carpenter, September 2006)

 * I think the most appropriate action would be to merge stemmer into stemming algorithm. The name "stemmer" may be the known name in the technology community, but "stemming algorithm" is the fully descriptive, proper grammer title.

I agree that the primary article should be Stemming Algorithm, Stemmer having been merged into it. Any encyclopedia should have ease of searching as a primary objective, and only those already knowledgable about the subject are likely to look for stemmer. treesmill 22:20, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Based on this discussion I am merging Stemmer into Stemming algorithm. I hope this does not frustrate anyone and it can be reverted if necessary. I also plan on some minor improvements to the page to make the content fit together. It would help if someone reviewed my work after. Josh Froelich 03:28, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I now redirect this, along with stemming algorithm, to stemming. Josh Froelich 17:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Suggestions
It might be wise to include descriptions of overstemming and understemming Josh Froelich 03:15, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

As a dab page, a stemmer is...
Stemmer is the title, so all three entries are saying "stemmer". Now if you read the article on Stemming (see above discussions), you will see the word stemmer is a process that includes stemming, but is not limited to it. It may be true that a stemmer and its stemming have opposite directions, (and that the stemming article merged the stemmer article), but this dab page entry is about stemmers, not stemming. — Cp i r al  Cpiral  19:51, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Ok, there are two issues here. Firstly, MOS:DAB says that "The article title should appear exactly as it is on the target page", except in a few circumstances that don't apply here, as far as I can tell. More importantly, a stemmer is a program or algorithm that does stemming, which is to produce the stem from inflected forms, not the other way around:, , . I've never seen anyone call a program that performs the inverse action a "stemmer", and I'm not sure which part of stemming you're referring to (is it ?). Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 20:40, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
 * You refer to MOS:DABENTRY. I admit this, and we can apply this.  But our first issue is exactly MOS:DABPAGENAME and WP:DABRELATED. Applied in order: Stemmer, a linguistic or information retrieval process in stemming. (Minor issue.)

(The major issue.) You appear to be right, Qwertyus. I may have been looking at the stemmer's result from the inverted index POV. Thanks. — Cp i r al  Cpiral  23:47, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

California State Route 27 → Topanga Canyon Boulevard – Similar to Avenue of the Giants and Tiburon Boulevard, should use the common street name of this major Los Angeles area road that is coterminous with the entire length of this California state highway. Zzyzx11 (talk) 23:40, 28 December 2019 (UTC) —Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 11:49, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME. --В²C ☎ 23:04, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Support, noting signage, even where the road does not meet any normal definition of a boulevard. From the Pacific Coast Hwy to Poema Place, it is signposted as Topanga Canyon Boulevard or an abbreviation of that.  I presume that this is not a recent change.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:27, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
