Talk:Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft

message: According to a note on the record, the song was chosen as the official anthem for "World Contact Day" with alien worlds should it happen in the future.
Chosen by whom? Who are these "officials"? This claim is sounding more and more ridiculous as time passes - imagine aliens landing in the year 4923, only to be played a recording from the 1970s! Even if they landed tomorrow this would be embarrassing, to say the least! If aliens ever do land, it won't be like a hollywood movie, and there probably won't be a bunch of hippies playing songs at them. So I ask again, who are these self-appointed offficials who "chose" this as the "anthem" of their silly concept? Graham 05:15, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're making the concept sound ridiculous and unthinkable. I guess I heard Richard Carpenter calling it "The Recognized Anthem of World Contact Day", but I think it's cool that they would play an old 1970s song if something did happen.

message: Shouldn't there be some attribution to the claim that it is "evident" that the 9/11 hijackers did not enter the country through Canada?  Because I am not aware of any new information coming out that would support that.  I could be wrong, but to make that claim, I'd think that some attribution would be necessary.
: The attribution part, I understand, but why slap a NPOV tag when all we need is to find proof of one clue? I remember in the news media when Michael Bloomberg "blamed Canada" but I'm sure it brings some interesting theories. Don't forget that stumble when George W. Bush forgot Canada in his list of countries to thank for their help during September 11th... that caused a good uproar here. It'll have some merit if there is a reference or two.

Talk:Gillick competence

message: Regarding the (now removed) comment that Mrs Victoria Gillick did not want to be known for the 'Gillick' decision and have it named after her, I find this laughable. The whole point of her suing the Health Authority was that she wanted to establish the law once and for all and be the one who took a stand against what she saw as immoral, anti-Christian behaviour. It didn't go her way; that's her tough luck. If she didn't want her name associated with the case she shouldn't have sued and made a song and dance about it. - Richardcavell 05:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

This certainly covers when someone is deemed able to get circumcized without their parent's permission, but is this the same as when people are judged competant to refuse a surgery that their parents want them to get, or different?

Talk:Interstate 95 in Maine

message: Back in 2015, the Maine Turnpike Authority bought out the last  of Interstate 95 in Kittery, in which it was previously owned and maintained by MaineDOT. This now means that the Maine Turnpike now runs from the New Hampshire State Line to MM 109 in Augusta.
Between the 2014 & 2016 revisions of the MEDOTPUBRDS shapefiles, the switch from State hwy to Toll hwy jurisdiction changed: 2014 = Spruce Creek bridge N of ME101; 2016 = where the Piscataqua River Bridge touches down on land. Also, about a week ago, I got this response from a Turnpike employee recently regarding this:
"Originally in the late 1950s, the turnpike was constructed starting around MM 2.2 to the north. In the 1970s, MaineDOT constructed the I-95 bridge over the river and constructed I-95 from the bridge to MM 2.2. In 2015 the Maine Turnpike purchased this section of I-95 from MaineDOT."
How should I express this on the page, since it would mean making some major changes? The areas of concern are the first paragraph of "Route Description" and parts of "History". What sources should I use to reflect this? I'm not sure how to, or if I should change the exit list and templates to reflect this as well.
