Talk:Theatrical technician

message: Re: Stagehand/Teatrical Technician.  Internationally, the Theatrical Technician terminology should be considered to be more generic.  Stagehand more usually refers to a junior member of the crew who is involved in moving scenery, outside the US.  It certainly does not apply to a Stage Electrician, Sound Engineer or flyman, for example.  If anything, stagehand should redirect here.  Bryson430 22:18, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For Clarity: I support a merge, but the master article should be called Theatrical technician.  IATSE is not the final global arbiter of terminology.  There should, however, be a clear note in the first paragraph explaining the terminology differences from country to country. Bryson430 11:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree with Stagehand in that designers are not concidered stagehands, yet all stagehads are concidered theatrical technicians.  I feel that one of the major challenges on this project will be the lack of standardised termanology even between theatres. -JWGreen 03:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Portal talk:American Civil War/Intro

message: Goals: This article intends to give the barest introduction to the subject matter while providing the maximum possible effective linking and some understanding of the depth of feeling surrounding the subject, especially the legacy and impact of the war on modern thought. Compared to most portals, this introduction is immensely long as of this writing, and I'm striving to make it even more economical, while reflecting the same basic components.
*Maximum wiki links. This is a portal, a guide to other places, and so I want the page to link to everything relevant. Since that's impossible, I want to take every opportunity to wikify, so long as we stay within the guidelines.
*Most economical possible length. The American Civil War article introduction is fine and is plenty for such a vast and complex article. This portal has a different purpose: I'm suggesting ONLY the barest essentials of narrative are necessary here. The rest of the portal page will provide articles and links to tell desired narrative.
*Focus on the war's impact, as opposed to the war's events. Since we want the important stuff where people can see it, I'm going to hold firm on a focus on the war's legacy and meaning in the second paragraph, so long as such a paragraph exists.
While I encourage users to edit boldly, I also ask that before any edits to this highly visible introduction are made, that they be discussed on this talk page first. It's perhaps an unreasonable request, but it's a request to make sure that this very visible location doesn't devolve into a flame war better intended for this talk page. Again, welcome!

thread_title:  I added a nice pic from Wikicommons to the intro article 

message: 1. "formed of eleven southern states' governments which moved to secede from the Union after the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln". I hope you all know that Lincln’s election only led immediately to the secession of seven. As it stands the sentence is misleading.
2. The whole second paragraph is not neutral. Who is insisting it’s the War between the States? Do reputable historians support this?
”the enslavement of African Americans, the role of constitutional federal government, and the rights of states  – are still not completely resolved." According to whom? Is there some reason to say that the enslavement of African Americans is an issue not resolved? If it’s postwar discrimination, civil rights and the like, that’s not what it says. I’d also like a source that supports the contention that the role of constitutional government and states' rights (which rights?) are significant issues today. Sounds too far right and “lost cause” for me. deisenbe (talk) 01:00, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Andrews, North Carolina

message: Regarding your edit summary , that's not how it works. Verifiability is one of our core policies. Specifically, the burden is on the uploader to provide a source. While the location of the airport and other details may seem obvious to you or the locals, they are not obvious to the rest of us, and certainly don't negate the need for references. Maintenance tags like  are not substitutes for supplying references; rather they are to encourage cleanup of existing material. Besides, this article had existing  tags.

thread_title: Untitled

message: Results for the National Assembly elections from various sources are inconsistent. This even applies to the ECZ, who state that the ULP won two seats in their seat total document, but in the constituency results it can be seen that the ULP in fact won three seats (Livingstone, Lukulu East and Lukulu West).
I have compiled the results table from the constituency data, which also contains one inconsistency – the number of valid votes cast. This is because they have incorrectly totalled the results for Nakonde, omitting the 11,935 votes cast for the MMD candidate. Also note that I have included the vote figures for the UPND and the FDD in the UDA totals, as the parties were part of that alliance (the one candidate listed as UPND won a seat).
