Talk:Provo (movement)

message: I agree that the term "Provo" should be a disambiguation page.  A quick search by "Provo" on google will show that Provo as a US city of 200,000 people is the general usage, and that Provo as a minimally historical movement within the IRA is regional slang at best.  The page for Provo should be a disambiguation page, referring to both.  Leaving it as it stands is like taking "New York" and writing an article solely about the newest part of Yorkshire!

thread_title: This needs to be a disambiguation

message: Another article on the same subject, by User:Jvd, has cropped up at Provos.  I've turned it into a redirect.  The article's English is confusing, but there are a few sentences that might be worth adding to this article, if anyone knowledgeable knows what they're getting at.  They are:
*Its rebellious but happy attitude was taken over [after it was disbanded] bij De Kabouters (The Goblins) and the squat movement. 
*The White House Plan [another White plan] proposed to appropriate unused houses. 
*Also it was the initiator of the anti-authoritarian playgroups.

thread_title: Provos

message: This article has large sections seemingly copied and pasted from the site: 
http://pdxnorml.org/HT_provos_0190.html
Looking at the top of the site, it seems to be from a 1990 issue of the magazine High Times.
I don't see any source mentioned on the page, too.
Is this fair use?

message: For that reason, it should probably refer to the city.

replies: text: He means Craigslist, a popular American classifieds service-cum-forum.  That's a pretty shoddy argument, though: "A website links to this page as if it were Provo, Utah, therefore this page should be Provo, Utah."  24.199.75.155 07:27, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Craigslist links to this entry as if it were for Provo,UT

message: The article refers to him as an "anti-smoking activist".  I don't think so.  Here he appears to be smoking himself to death.  Marshall46 (talk) 08:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
