I have a picture in the book Unitas Fratrum of 1957 that shows  Inuit children at the Moravian Mission in Hopedale Labrador with Christingles made from turnips.  This is confirmed by Sister Kate Hettasch, a Moravian missionary in Labrador for many years, in an article in a German Moravian publication.  But when I told the story, one of our Inuit pastors was most insistent that this was not the case. He was a fairly young pastor and may not have been aware of the event.  I suspect that the picture was from the period in World War II when the mission was cut off from both Germany and England and the turnops were a case of "making a virtue out of necessity".70.248.132.120 (talk) 21:14, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The article for Christkind links here, and says that Christingle along with Kris Kringle are variations of this term in English (British and American respectively). Someone ought to quickly check the sources to see whether Christingle means 'christ light' or 'christ child' and edit one or the other article accordingly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.206.153 (talk) 19:47, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

message: ----
I've added some references for the "Evil" era, but the article could use some support for the T.O.Y. era; then we can remove the infernal "needs references" warning.  Also, does anyone have a (non-copyrighted) photo to add?  Unfortunately this is one band I have never had the chance to see live.

message: * I moved this just to the person's name - we generally don't use honorifics in most article titles (kings and other nobles seem to be the only major exception).
* When the article says Post Office, shouldn't that be Royal Mail?
* The link of "criticism" ending up at engineering isn't ideal (it's pejoratively known as a "surprise link").  Someone clicking on a link called "criticism" should end up at something roughly to do with criticism, not at the (very general) topic of engineering.  If there isn't an article for empirical engineering or engineering criticism, I think the sentence should be reworked so that an explicit engineering link would make sense.

Talk:Salad bowl (cultural idea)

message: To suggest that numerous people call cultural assimilation in the United States "a salad bowl" is just plain incorrect.  I for one have never heard this before, apart from the single blogger linked to this rather unimaginative page (who I bet probably created this page in the first place.)  If so, I recommend this page be withdrawn from Wikipedia for being neither notable or widely accepted.114.148.236.86 (talk) 05:15, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  The idea of a single blogger? 

message: "The salad bowl idea in practice has its supporters and detractors. Supporters argue that being American is not inherently tied to a single culture, but rather to citizenship and loyalty to the United States. Thus, one does not need to abandon one's own cultural heritage in order to be considered 'American'. Critics tend to oppose the idea in tandem with other critiques on multiculturalism, saying that America needs to have a common culture in order to preserve a common 'American' identity." This seems to imply that the only reason to believe in the Melting Pot or anything other than the Salad Bowl is because you're racist. Am I just misinterpreting this? If not, then it's pretty clear that whoever wrote this part is advocating for the Salad Bowl. --69.126.210.25 (talk) 18:58, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Third-world feminism

message: I have issues about segregating feminism - and am concerned at the neo-colonial, patriarchical overtones to using the expression 'third world feminism'. Can someone else chip in? I also sense 'third world' authorship of this page is lacking. Annawright 21:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, all of these concerns that you voice should be discussed in the article.  They are not reasons for its removal. Savidan 20:44, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: segregating feminism?

message: Yes, you're right, 'third world' is a tricky descriptive phrase full of political implications. There are alternatives such as the 'developing world' (which has its own problems) and the 'underderveloped world' (where 'underdeveloped' is used as a verb rather than an adjective, implying that active under development carried and inflicted on poorer nations by wealthier ones) as well as 'the global south'. Despite these alternatives, 'third-world feminism' remains the self-identifying category used by many feminists as well as a category used in scholarship and activism. This relevence is reflected in the naming of the Wikipedia article, at least I think. You make a really valuable point and perhaps a link or section pointing this out could be helpful.

thread_title:  'third world' 

message: Yes, some people take offense at the term third world.  That can be noted on the article about "third world".  This does not change the fact that there is an actual school of feminism called third world feminism both by themselves and by others and the article should not be deleted because you find the term problematic.  For example, there is an article on "humanity" although many consider the term gendered.  If you must, make a note of the problematic nature of the term in the article by linking to whatever article you think best voices these concerns. Savidan 20:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Seriously needs NPOV 

message: * "Encumbered" - implying that traditional urban planning is an unfair burden
* "Traditional" in quotation marks, to imply disdain
* "unique" and "fine-grained": undefined but positive-sounding words
* Unsupported assertion that other town planners don't hire architects
* Irrelevant material about DPZ's philosophical integrity
* "success": what measure of success is being used, and who is doing the measuring? Just the increase in property values? 10% annual increase is not all that unusual.
* "surprisingly affordable": what measure of affordable? Who's doing the measuring? Again the use of unnecessarily positive (but unnecessarily vague) words
* "learned": this word implies that the philosophy being studied is true
* "many thousands": unnecessarily vague, unncessarily positive connotation
"unncessarily positive connotation" WTF does that mean? It's an article written by one or two people that have a certain POV. Live with it. Wiki is built by articles that have a favorable viewpoint since the authors have a vested interest.

thread_title: October 2005: is this article really noteworthy? 

message: RAS an acronym for "Reported as Spam"; is used on the forums of MyADSL/MyBB (MyBroadband) and is posted in a thread which is deemed by the users to be spam.
The "RBP" button (situated at the top right of each post on the forum is indicated by an image of an exclamation mark in a red triangle) an acronym for "Report Bad Post" is then also used/clicked on to notify moderators and administrators of the forum to the specific post which has deemed to contain spam.
Leaving a RAS post indicates to other users that it has already been submitted to the moderators for actioning and therefore does not need a duplication of another RBP.
Another common use for RAS by regulars on the forum is; to post RAS followed by the vbcode :mad: (depicts an angry face) after a post or by quoting the selected post.
This is commonly used to have a bit of harmless fun with the person you have RAS'd.

Talk:Livre tournois

message: This article together with French livre and, possibly, livre parisis need consolidating. The French livre article should contain an overview of the French currencies called livre, whilst this article should only deal with issues specific to the livre tournois, a term not used on French currency after 1720.Dove1950 15:44, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree.  It seems to me that when people refer to "livre", even from 1720 to 1789, what they are essentially referring to is the "livre tournois", either as money of account or as used (briefly) on paper money.  This is certainly true in most French dictionaries on the early modern period and it is for this reason that livre redirects here.  I was surprised to see the French livre article (created in January), since the article livre tournois had been here for so long, so I made a good faith attempt to bring both articles into harmony without overlaps and to correct errors (in reverting French livre back, you eliminated additions such as the fact that the livre parisis is divided into 15 deniers).  I guess if you want to consolidate, you could perhaps move everything to French livre with redirects, or perhaps move relevant sections to a general article on the "Monetary system of pre-revolutionary France". --NYArtsnWords 17:11, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I realised that reverting might be losing some bits of information which need reinstating but the key was to return to the standard form for currency articles. The livre tournois and livre parisis were variants of the French livre and ought  to be explained as such. The term livre tournois lived on beyond its legal existence and the presence of the article livre tournois which deals with more than just the livre tournois was an anomoly which needed fixing. I will make the consolidation myself and then look forward to edits from others to hone it down.Dove1950 19:29, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
