Talk:Du You

message: https://books.google.com/books?id=BZX7AQAAQBAJ&pg=PT326
In contrast with Lu Zhi, who had entered the bureaucracy through the examination and wanted to preserve the examination system on the basis of "fairness", Du did not consider the examination system as promoting capable people (a view shared by many). Du wanted senior officials to recommend capable people from among the excess of already-existing officials (as was done in the Han dynasty), whose offices Du wanted to eliminate to cut down on expenses. He believed that this would help to advance people of talent and virtue that were otherwise neglected; if the recommendation was false, the sponsor could be criminally charged. He paraphases Shang Yang on the need for changing with the times.
However, Lu still agreed that the recommendation system should have a part in placement, so that in reality both have a similar view on the role of the Imperium. Other reformers simply wanted to change the examination's subjects, the more prominent view.https://books.google.com/books?id=m4Lkd1vqU4oC&pg=PA152

Talk:Trefeca

message: The college founded by the Countess of Huntingdon is not the same as the modern Coleg Trefeca. The former was a quarter of a mile northward at what is now College Farm. This Trefeca College moved to Cheshunt in north London and then Cambridge where it is now merged with Westminster College. Coleg Trefeca has no direct connection. When I can gather the source material I will correct the entry.22:23, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trefeca College and Coleg Trefeca 

message: The GPS coordinates point to the modern Coleg Trefeca - Digby James commented that the two could easily be confused, but that the original buildings and location of what was Lady Selena or Countess Huntingdon's college is actually a bit to the north and the GPS coordinates point to the modern site - not the correct location.

Talk:Jin Yuelin

message: "Tao, Nature and Man" is one of Jin's main works, especially among his works published in English.  It draws upon some of the main concepts in all of his philosophy.  Those are the concepts which I outlined in the article, however I think the article could also benefit from a deeper analysis of "Tao, Nature and Man". I only outlined the basic concepts of Jin's metaphysics, but it is most definitely more complicated than I expressed here.  There are entire other levels of thought that I didn't get into 1) because I didn't have time, and 2) because I didn't quite understand all of it.  Perhaps someone with a stronger background in Western philosophical thought might be able to understand Jin better than I.   Additionally, I think the article would benefit from an exploration of some of Jin's other works.  He has a few essays in English in which he speaks about his views on Chinese Philosophy and Politics (some of which I mention in the article).  Although these works do not play directly into  Jin's metaphysical concepts, they help to explain where Jin was coming from when he wrote his philosophy, and thus help to shed light on the nuances of Jin's work.

replies: text: Happy to do so, for reasons stated above.  Crefftwr (talk) 22:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

text: If I seem obsessive, it's because I have been fighting this same battle for honest information about Welsh gold since 1985,against increasingly great odds! Yes, Clogau gold has been used for previous Royal rings - no argument -though not by the present Clogau company, as stated recently by them. But the ingot presented to the Queen on her 60th birthday was given by the then Gwynfynydd mine owners, and I have been trying to upload a photo to wikipedia of this ingot, which is clearly stamped "Gwynfynydd". Incidentally, this was several years BEFORE the said Clogau company reactivated the mine, according to their own website, so it is hard to see how they could have present a gramme of gold in 1986, let alone a kilo.
The Clogau mine licence is no longer in the hands of the jewellery manufacturing company of that same name, but has been granted to Midas Exploration - cf the link to their factual, non-selling website on this page.  Yet their mention of this is constantly being edited out of the page.  Why?   Crefftwr (talk) 22:22, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Cardington test

message: NOTE: The current and complete name of the fire group at The University of Edinburgh is "BRE Centre for Fire Safety Engineering" becuase one of the main sponsor is BRE (Building Research Establishment)
Muffinon recently removed the 'building engineering' category on the grounds that 'fire protection' is in 'building engineering'. This is fine with me when applied to general fire protection engineering entries but the case at hand, note than Cardington Tests are the first fire & structures experiments conducted with a large-scale building. Its relevance to 'building engineering' is enormous, the findings led to a paradigm change in the way structures in fire are thought. Grein (talk) 23:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The Emerald Sword Saga

message: What do they mean with "Just a strike of the sword, hell's last breath"?
Looking to the lyrics, I'd say the strike of the sword was something Loinir could to do avenge Naimur, but what's with the "hell's last breath"? Could it mean that the sword would have an evil (hellish?) effect on the world? Or was it that with the strike Loinir was able to destroy Atlon, and therefore hell? marten15
Hell's last breath refers to Akron's death. So no, it means that Loinir killed Akron, not Hell  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkangeloffire (talk • contribs) 20:46, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Liu Qi (Liu Biao's son)

message: I took out the Fiction section for this guy; the only thing it really mentioned was that in the book Liu Cong was his brother from another mother. Looking through the novel a little bit, I found two other differences: Lady Cai, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun forge the documents making Liu Cong Liu Biao's successor; and Liu Qi writes Liu Bei a letter requesting help. Then I gave up looking through the novel.
Feel free to put a fiction section back in. Anyone who attempts that might also want to mention Liu Qi's little treehouse chitchat with Zhuge Liang where Liu Qi is reminded to take to heart the famour story of prince Shen Sheng of Jin; it's sourced in all the histories, too, but almost certainly apocryphal, even if Liu Qi did seek out Zhuge Liang's counsel.

Talk:Socialism in the Netherlands

message: The article says "It is limited to communist, socialist, and social-democratic parties with substantial support, mainly proved by having had a representation in parliament" i.e. it is biased in favour of parliamentarism, which seems inappropriate considering that the article on Council communism says it was strong in the Netherlands.
