Walls of text

[edit]

@AbleGus and @Cheryl Fullerton please stop creating walls of text. Both of you need to learn to write much, much shorter. I know it takes more time to write short, but it's a valuable skill to develop. Other editors will not read your lengthy arguments, which means you will not be able to persuade anyone to your side. You might as well write nothing as write something 1000 words long. Serious as a heart attack, here.

Here's my advice: write your response, then before you publish, spend as long as it takes to edit it down to under 200 words. If you cannot edit it to under 200 words, keep trying, because I promise you there is nothing anyone else wants to read that is longer than that. You'd be better off spending an hour wittling it to 200 words than publishing it at 1000 because no one will read the 1000-word version. —valereee (talk) 21:33, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Renaming the Section Headings in the History

[edit]

Hello,

I would like to revisit the renaming of the section headings. This was previously proposed on this talk page, but the discussion became unwieldy and ended without agreement. In the meantime, another editor changed them. I am proposing we go with the following headings in the history section:

  • 1970-1974: origins
  • 1974-1978: Balin on board and commercial apogee
  • 1979-1984: changing personnel and sound
  • 1984-1991: Kantner departs and transition to Starship
  • 1992-2016: revival
  • 2016-present: post-Kantner era

Please let me know any thoughts on this suggestion.

Regards, AbleGus (talk) 07:00, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have made the proposed changes to the section headings in the history section.

Capitalize the section headings

[edit]

This is a tiny detail but it slightly gets on my nerves because every other page on this website has the headings capitalized.

Origins

Changing personnel and sound
