Talk:Design–bid–build

message: This article is currently poorly written and reads like a promotion for Design-build. It is also incorrect as it confuses Design-bid-tender with Owner multiple tenders or, possibly, construction management. I will try to improve in days to come, but additional help would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime I will fix the intro Mariokempes 22:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The article takes as fact that Design-Bid-Build is the "Traditional Method" which may be true in North America, but is not so in much of the rest of the world. And in fact, this method of project delivery is not that old, even in the U.S.  I would like to see a history of bidding included in this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldstables (talk • contribs) 16:44, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm the editor you're referring to, and I'm not on Petraeus' staff. I'm a Wikipedia editor who is a stickler for keeping articles on-policy. POV comments like you've been making have no place in an encyclopedia article. This is not a forum, a debate or a discussion. If Petraeus is criticized by reputable press for this, then report the criticism in a neutral way. Please see the note at the top of this page for the guidelines that apply to biographies of living persons, and please try to keep your additions in line with policy. As for this particular concern, please read the sentence carefully: it says, "He was commissioned an infantry officer upon graduation in 1974, too late to see combat in Vietnam." This is an accurate statement: hostilities had ended by '74. It makes no judgement about intent, one way or the other. The statement as it stands is completely neutral. To add comments that are intended to impune his character is to violate our policies and will be reverted. Thanks. Akradecki 05:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Sambro Island Light

message: In Joshua Slocum´s book Sailing Alone Around The World he says: I set my flag and squared away, taking my departure from George's Island before dark to sail east of Sable Island. There are many beacon lights along the coast. Sambro, the Rock of Lamentations, carries a noble light, which, however, the liner Atlantic, on the night of her terrible disaster, did not see. I watched light after light sink astern as I sailed into the unbounded sea, till Sambro, the last of them all, was below the horizon. --194.144.212.210 (talk) 14:38, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Camden Expedition Sites National Historic Landmark

message: Hey, I see that the article text was just edited to change the stated name of the NRHP / NHL listing, and to move the article.  I believe the fact is that it is named "Camden Expedition Sites".  One could possibly argue that the article name should be changed from that, but that would require some discussion and consensus.  Offhand, I oppose the move, if there is not explanation.  And, it is factually wrong to represent that the NRHP listing name is something else, so the NRHP infobox should continue to show the actual formal name.
Also, why is the image in the article removed? What is purpose of these edits?  I will pause for some reply, but anticipate seeking reversal of recent changes. --doncram 02:31, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Is the "Kurdistanica" site reliable source for it? Off course, no! Also Red Kurdistan were annexed during Soviet period by Azerbaijan SSR. And the part about "Punik" with quotations without any references will be deleted! Who is the nationalist, who published that unknown paper (where and when it was?), is this paper so important to be represented here?

Talk:Patriot Reign

message: With all due respect to the person who took the time to read and summarize this book, I'm not sure this summary is the kind of article that should be on Wikipedia. It seems to go a little too in-depth into the book, almost like a book report. (I removed a lot of the unsourced information and non-NPOV stuff, so I think it's a little better now.) Rather than a summary, it might be better-suited toward bullet points of information, or other existing Wikipedia articles that the book addresses, without actually treating it like a book review. Comments? --Bill shannon (talk) 09:18, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

message: This article could use better formatting. Also I think some of it likely reads a little awkwardly for anyone not already familiar with the history discussed. Since ideally those unfamiliar are the target audience, it could use some tlc.
I edit mainly on my phone, and had a hell of a time getting what I did change to save accurately. So I won't put myself through what would come with reworking the formatting, but I may come back to rephrase and clarify some of it.

Talk:Pyongsan Shin clan

message: Ridiculous claims by a Shin woman who married a Belgian commoner and created and registered a new last name, "Shin de Pyeongsan."  Korea was not a hereditary feudal country since 1392.  All officials were selected based on their performance on the Gwageo exam.  There were no titles and fiefdom passed down through families.  As such, no notable Pyeongsan Shins are found after Shin Sunggyeon in 900s! The most powerful families in late Joseon were the Andong Kims, Pungyang Jos, and Yeongheung Mins. Pyeongsan Shins peaked in early Goryeo, pre-1000s.  It is a good family, but this article is so pretentious, as to approach ridiculousness.  Unless you slef police this article, I will have to contact other editors and really work on this, for the good of other Korean families.Krusader6 (talk) 20:49, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
