Talk:Culture of Alberta

message: I believe the following statement should be removed from this article: "Alberta is well known for its warm and outgoing friendliness and frontier spirit." While this is not a negative statement, it is completely biased and therefore does not belong in a proper Wikipedia article. This is especially true as there is much evidence which contradicts the afore mentioned statement. I have removed this point and believe that any further attempts to include the statement should not be allowed.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.70.198 (talk • contribs) 15:34, February 17, 2007

thread_title: Spoiler

message: The opening episode of the 2014 run of the BBC TV series “Jonathan Creek”, entitled The Letters of Septimus Noone (28th Feb 2014), uses the plot device of “The Mystery of the Yellow Room” as a substantial part of the story. In it, the leading lady in a stage-production of a musical adaptation of the “Yellow Room” story (presented as a parody of the Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical of Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera) is found apparently the victim of an attack in her locked dressing-room, although the viewer is shown the attack upon her prior to going to the theatre, and the method and reason for covering up the assault - making the two plots parallel each other.

Talk:Politics of Alberta

message: In fact, Alberta is the largest net contributor to the program, and the payments are made to poorer provinces to ensure that all provinces are able to provide similar levels of public services.
Above is a potentially controversial statement. It would be a good idea to have a source to substantiate it. More information specific to Alberta on the equalization program would also be nice, i.e. what is the magnitude of the Alberta's net contributions.
I agree, though it is true this year, and in the past couple. I've made a few other edits and directed to the appropriate wiki pages covering the topics of reference. I am looking for a reputable source on the history of equalization payments in Canada. IT should be noted that Alberta has not always been a have province, as was suggested by the above wording. The provinces 'have' status has, as I understand, come and gone with the oil booms, and I will add that (or the opposite, should that be true) to the article as soon as I can find the numbers. naturalnumber (talk) 16:46, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

message: There was a long winded explanation of his home town which really is out of place in the article.  I've pasted it here in case an editor wants to do any further research.
:Park View was the previous name of what is now Los Ojos, in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. The community was first established by that name in about 1860, then renamed Park View in 1876, and then renamed to Los Ojos again in 1972. Hence, searches for "Park View" on modern maps of New Mexico will likely be fruitless.

Talk:The Borrible Trilogy

message: I would like to merge all three Borribles articles (The Borribles, The Borribles Go For Broke, The Borribles: Across the Dark Metropolis) to this page. I've looked at the page for The Lord of the Rings books and I think we have a better chance of building one good article like this rather than three separate articles. Plus "Borribles" are not well known creatures, and I think it would be better to have one page which describes what they are and then lists their adventures, rather than three pages which each have to describe the Borribles.
Since I'm the only one doing any serious work on these pages I thought about just merging the articles: but then I thought better. So I'm going to give it a week.

message: After reviewing the article, it appears that most of the claims lead up to the assertion that the typical English translation of one of the uses of 感情 is misinformed (in particular, "hurts the feelings of the Chinese people"). I'm flagging the article with the original research template due to the following reasons:
* None of the claims are cited.
* The only citation that exists in the current version of the article only demonstrates one example of the alleged "mistranslation", but nowhere in this source is it apparent that it should be considered a mistranslation.
* There are no citations of any sources that describe or use the claimed "better" translation.
* Google searches turn up wide use of the alleged mistranslation: 
* In fact, even English-language sources direct from the Chinese government use the alleged mistranslation:

Talk:Kent-Meridian High School

message: Including information about a public school's lawsuits may not be appropriate at all, certainly not to be listed at the top of the school's wiki page.   People don't come to wiki to learn about a school's history of lawsuits, this being America there are no doubt multiple lawsuits associated with every school.
On the subject of notable alumni, someone has added a sentence that un-named students of this school were sent out of the area during World War 2.  As there are no names, this is innapropriate in my opinion, and even if there were names, this is not a notable distinction to be associated with a public school anyway.  --Gvranch 17:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The reasons for deltion of this are 1, that these would not be notable alumni, but rather the event of Japanese students being put in Camp Harmony. Reason 2, that this is not specific to Kent-meridian. The source does not state that only Kent-Meridian had students sent to Camp Harmony, so if it is not a distinct event to Kent-meridian high school.

message: A Google Search yielded this from Google's Cache.  It may not be available any longer... but isn't promoting a business frowned upon here..?

The author Claude A. R. Kagan (who may well be the current authority on the Globotype, based on his first hand research) is suffering from ARMD and has very limited vision.  He is new to Wikipedia, and I would hope that all can make an attempt to support him in his efforts to share some of the knowledge he has acquired in his lifetime.  He may not pick up on small changes to his articles here and there like [citation needed] and it may be best to add a message at his talk page or send an email.
