message: Is this someone's resume? RickK 23:34 5 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Oddly BillBell wrote a decent article and then decided to replace it with this resume.  A resume that does not even mention her academey award in 1998. SimonP 14:00 6 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I admit, it looked like a resume to me as I was writing it. AAMOF, I changed one of the headings to "Professional activities", from "Profession experience", because the resemblance was too strong even for my taste. Quite unfortunately, Dudley seems to exist on the web only as the collection of her results as a musician. However, I like some of her work very much and I had hoped to come back to this article when I feel more inspired. BillBell 14:56 6 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Narconon

message: I am removing the section titled "Narconon and support from other religious groups" with the text: 
Reasoning:
* Alfreddie Johnson and Tony Muhammad were already Scientologists, so their endorsement for Narconon fails to be "from other religious groups".
* The source fails to verify that these people endorsed Narconon (they didn't):
** Bego promotes The Way to Happiness, not Narconon.
** Sadiki promotes human rights, not Narconon.
** Kennedy promotes Scientology/Hubbard in general, not a peep about Narconon.
That leaves only Mclaughlin who is running his own licensed-by-Narconon center; not exactly a neutral recommendation. (Original content was added in 2013.) Concept is basically "these non-Scientologist other-religious-people have endorsed Narconon." Section is basically WP:SYNTH.

thread_title:  Removing section as SYNTH 

message: I've been finding some interesting articles indicating that Narconon has been morphing into a different business model. The gist I'm getting is that Scientology leader Miscavige has decided that Narconon is to be run under Scientology, not as a "secular" subsidiary. As such, future lawsuits can be partially protected under "religious practices". Ortega suggests that the new Narconon centers will be like the Ideal Orgs — beautiful, expensive... and empty. Krebs has much to say about Narconon's deceptive methods of advertising online and by phone.
I'll leave these citations here for later since I don't have time to pursue this angle right now. Anyone interested is welcome to pick up this research thread.

Talk:Peronism

message: What's with "Racism is often made out to be integral to fascism"? I suppose that I can't argue too much with "often": plenty of people want to tie fascism to every bad thing that's out there, and I understand the appeal of such a position. Still, for an encyclopedia article, that could use some sourcing. To the best of my knowledge, Mussolini wasn't particularly racist (though he was certainly nationalist and imperialist, and certainly not anti-racist). -- Jmabel 07:40, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Racism would not have had any appeal in Argentina, a country that was lily-white in the 1950s and is about 97% white today. There were not enough minorities for any racist campaign to have any sort of appeal. Peron did, when speaking to an international audience, come off as an anti-racist. With regards to Argentina's Jewish community, Peron himself did not seem to be an antisemite and there were sizeable numbers of Jewish Peronists, yet his Education Minister, Hugo Wass, was a vocal anti-semite who dismissed many Jewish professors and secondary school teachers. In my opinion, Peron's interests lie in political power rather than ethnic supremacy, much like Napoleon I.  (anonymous, 17 March 2005)
I* No real disagreement with any of that, but I will point out that many Poles these days can be quite anti-Semitic without needing to have any actual Jews to blame things on. And there certainly has been no shortage of anti-Semitism in Argentina at various times. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:07, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
I, too, have a problem with the statement that racism is thought to be integral to fascism. It is not part of the definition of fascism and many fascisms were not racist. I'm deleting said sentence. -ZeroAsALimit

thread_title:  Casualties and losses 

message: In order to meet WP:FACR #1c, this older FA should really incorporated Faber's 2008 work on the Toledo War, especially given the degree that this article relies on 19th-century sources.  Mary Karl George's 1971 The Rise and Fall of Toledo, Michigan... The Toledo War! should probably be consulted as well.  Way is a major source on this topic, but more modern materials should be used when possible.  The reliability of captain-johns.com is questionable.  An article titled "A Long-Overdue Evaluation of Benjamin Hough's Observation for Latitude of the North Cape of Maumee Bay, Ohio's Northern Border." has been published in Michigan Historical Review; while it isn't directly relevant on much of the article content, it would be useful for fleshing out some of the background surveying that led to the dispute. "Collecting the Toledo War" from the same journal is mainly a bibliography and is not all that useful, but does contain about four or so pages of good secondary material.  There's also a need to spot-check some of the sourcing; for instance I'm not finding the April 3 date from "On April 3, 1835, Jackson sent two representatives from Washington, D.C., " in the cited source although most of my spot checks had no issues.

thread_title:  FA concerns 

message: The name, "Toledo War," seems to be a bit misleading. No casualties occurred, and one person was non-fatally wounded. "Toledo Conflict" seems to be more of an appropriate name due to the nature of the conflict. 
"Result" in the table on the right side should probably say something along the lines of, "Ohio gained the Toledo strip permanently" instead of "inconclusive." The conflict ended with the result of Ohio taking Toledo as its own territory, and I think adding this would help prevent misconstrued information. 
Lastly, the "Bloodshed in 1835" section seems to be a bit too beefy. Summarizing the most important and relevant information about the conflict would be less confusing.

thread_title:  Britannica 

message: "Lessing is important as a literary critic for his work Laocoon: An Essay on the Limits of Painting and Poetry. In this work, he argues against the tendency to take Horace's ut pictura poesis (as painting, so poetry) as prescriptive for literature. In other words, he objected to trying to make literature do what painting does. Instead, poetry and painting each has its character (the former is extended in time; the latter is extended in space). This is related to Lessing's turn from French classicism to Aristotelian mimesis, discussed above."
I don't have time to change this myself right now, but I wanted to call attention to the above passage because I believe it misrepresents the whole point driving the Laocoon. Lessing is not arguing that painting and poetry produce fundamentally different sensations in their respective audiences, just that the artistic approach to producing those sensations ought not be the same in poetry as in painting (e.g. he discourages the use of facile symbols in poetry, but believes they are indispensable in painting). A reductive, yet still more correct version of the bolded sentence could then be: In other words, he objected to trying to write poetry using the same devices as one would in painting.
The distinction between literature and poetry is also important here, as it is made explicitly in the Laocoon.
*edit* I'm just going to put that sentence in there for now
