Talk:Vallabhbhai Patel

message: The article reads:
[...]and had a few plotters killed by the police, but his approach was said to have been harsh.
First of all, while subtle, the sentence reads like an apology for Patel, first describing what the writer clearly seems to regard as a very reasonable and measured response while only reluctantly conceding that some anonymous, passive voice said at some point (but who really cares) that his approach was "harsh" even though he was very obviously too soft-hearted, if anything. Second, the part that's keeping me from just making a simple edit to make the wording less mealy-mouthted, what does it mean that he "had a few plotters killed by the police"? As in had them summarily executed? If that's the case, what about that makes it so surprising (the "but" is doing a lot of work here to make the criticism seem unreasonable, as though it is somehow in opposition to the facts of the incident) that people might have found it "harsh"?

Talk:Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel

message: I don't understand the rationale for removing the Controversial television shows tag.

:One controversial editorial a controversial show does not make. There's nothing special about a news show that has opinion pieces that people occasionally don't appreciate, otherwise you'll need to add 60 Minutes to the list. And if you broaden what a controversial show is, you'll eventually end up adding every news show conceived. hateless 06:31, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Berthoud, Colorado

message: Ok, I think we need to come to a compromise on the paper issue. Neither one should be shown to be favored over the other; there shouldn't be a link to the papers' websites within the text of the article, as they're in the links section at the bottom of the page, where they should be. Also, I don't think there's any point in saying that Berthoud has no television or radio stations. The mere suggestion is rather absurd. Anyone who searches for this page will have some degree of familiarity with it, and in seeing that our population is under 5000 and that we have weekly papers, not daily, it becomes apparent that we wouldn't have other media outlets.

Talk:Horseman, Pass By

message: To call Homer "venerable" (which means "lovable", not "old"), and Hud "ruthless", are actually closer descriptions of the film's characters. The novel's characters are "grayer" and more complex.

All the sources on the page call him Titus, including Polibius and Livy, as do the pages on the Second Punic War, the Battle of the Trebia, the Battle of Lake Trasimene, the Battle of Ticinus, Hanno the Elder, and Publius Cornelius Scipio. See Tiberius Sempronius Longus. Kafziel 18:22, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The first poster is correct.  He cites Livy and Polybius.  The webpage with the text of Livy uses the abrreviation "Ti."  This is confusing  to people uncertain of the abbreviation of Roman names since it is not clear whether it stands for "Titus" or "Tiberius."  Wikipedia's page clears this up.  But if there is any doubt, because citing Wikipedia isn't always secure (the above pages, the Second Punic War, the Battle of the Trebia, the Battle of Lake Trasimene, the Battle of Ticinus, Hanno the Elder, and Publius Cornelius Scipio, are thus wrong and need to be fixed), we look directly to Polybius.  He uses the full name.  Now, the page cited above is a translation so the translator could have chosen Tiberius over Titus.  This is impossible because there was no choice involved.  How can we tell?  Let's look to the original language which uses Τεβέριος (Tiberius).  Therefore, I will move the page to the proper name and fix all those incorrect Wikipedia pages.

message: I saw you have reverted the use of "Don" in Joseph Cafasso. I can assure you that in Italian it's not used for elder - especially in northern Italy to call "don" someone that it's not a catholic priest could be take:
# as a joke between friends
# as an insult meaning "mafioso" between other people.
I can quote from Zanichelli "Vocabolario della lingua italiana" (one of the main italian vocabulary):
1. Titolo riservato anticamene al papa, poi ai vescovi e agli abati and infine spec. ai monaci e ai preti              	1. Honorific reserved to the pope, then to bishops and abbots and eventually to monks and priests.
Titolo riservato a gentiluomini e a persone di riguardo spec. nei territori corrispondenti ai domini spagnoli in Italia	2. in Spain and Portugal honorific for the king, the princes of the blood and Spanish grandees, and to important people specially in italian land that were owned by the Spanish Empire.
So "Don" in Italy it's not used for elder people, only for priests (sometime for monks) and for important people (and the last meaning only in some region of southern Italy)

UPI reported that The New York Post reported that the New York police said cocaine was found "on and around" his body. I don't think it's appropriate for the Wikipedia article to say he died "from an apparent cocaine overdose," though personally, I don't much care whether or not he did.

message: TimBits, if you have any proposition to make please make it in an individual proposition. I fail to see your point, if Quebec after a referundum was to declare its independence and elect a government, I think that its position would have counted no matter what, your proposition is actually unwiki. (and ironically, the Soviet Law which Karabakh was used has even been used as reference in Quebec cases ). Also, it is standard to first present the locality and then go on. If you search on Montreal, first you will have the information that it is a city, and then, in the province of Quebec then in Canada... this is a standard, even when you send a mail you don't first give the information on the country but rather the address, then the city, province(or state) and the country. This is what is accepted and standard... First Karabakh is a de facto republic, and then, it is recognized officialy as part of Azerbaijan... this is how I advanced this should be covered, this is not about presenting ones position or not, there is no one here that denies that generally Karabakh is considered officially as part of Azerbaijan, neither that it is a de facto republic. I don't see you having the same opinion about the Northern republic of Cyprus or any entries about a territory with the same disputes, you can visit any other such entries and you will see that I am right.
