Wikipedia talk:WikiProject North Carolina/Article grading and ranking

message: The grading scale for importance needs to be modified to fit this wikiproject better. I pretty much put what I thought as reasonable but if anyone disagrees or has something to add please discuss it. If the policy is more in-depth it will be much easier to tag articles.

thread_title: The Scale

message: I was looking at the guidance and saw that Counties should be placed as high importance. I was thinking that if a county held a major city it would be high, otherwise it would be medium. Opinions/thoughts?
Thanks
Rob110178 19:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say that all counties are high importance. Important cities would be high importance as well. The reason I see it like this is because the top importance is North Carolina, whereas counties are the next split from state. Acidskater 20:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would disagree because lets take my county that I live in, Onslow. Yes, there are two military installations and one city there but with regards to NC as a whole lets say it is high importance. Go to the north where you have Jones county. There are no major cities there and very little notability in this county. Based on all counties as being high, These two would be equal. I would say that all counties are mid and than we can go by population and or "attractions" (for lack of a better word). Therefore Onslow, Craven, New Hanover, Pitt, Wake, Durham (to name a few) would be high, and others like Jones, Duplin, Pender, Lenoir would be mid. Please let me know what you think? Rob110178 21:10, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is a pretty good point. How do you propose we split it up though? We could do it strictly on population (which would probably be the best way) or figure out another way. I'd say if we do it by population we have the split at 75,000. Acidskater 22:29, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Non-Article Classification 

message: I am not an author of, or contributor to, the Star, North Carolina entry.  I was visiting, was fairly impressed with the entry given size of the town, and accessed the talk page to see how it is rated.  I am surprised to see that the entry has a quality scale rating of stub.  I would think its rating would be B or at least C.  I also think that the WikiProject NC's own importance criteria would indicate an importance rating of Mid, not its current Low rating.--Rpclod (talk) 13:12, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Is Pallister an area or park in Berwick Hills, if park it should be a Pallister Park and other content moved to Berwick Hills. The old maps on NLS only show Berwick Hills. A ward is named after the most known thing or things in that area or something to do with the town it’s in so it isn’t the most reliable for designating areas of a town.

replies: text: It seems like there's a settlement named "Pallister" and a park named "Pallister Park" (click on the map) west of the settlement. As of 2011 there was a ward called "Pallister" but now the ward is "Berwick Hills & Pallister" which has similar boundaries but apparently not identical. Ward's probably satisfy WP:GEOLAND so this can probably be kept, jut like I'd probably keep Harrowgate Hill separate. That said ward boundaries and names change a lot so having articles on them may be difficult. Crouch, Swale (talk)  16:15, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Lateduster

message: I asked Andrew Broder at the recent London Fog concert whether there were any plans to do further Lateduster stuff, and his response was a definitive "no" (adding that it wasn't for any "bad reason", just that they were all off doing their separate things; it sounded like it would just be too complicated and disrupt everyone's other projects too much). Should the band be talked of in the past tense in the article, or does that count as original research? I'm not sure an "official" announcement is likely to be made, as they were hardly a particularly well-known band, and they don't really have a proper (let alone well-maintained) website. If it does count as original research, will they just remain in the present tense indefinitely? -- TheJames 14:44, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Talk:London Beth Din

message: "This article does not cite any references or sources." This is unsurprising. There are virtually no sources. I've checked JSTOR, Dissertation Abstracts, and the files of the London Beth Din (through its Director, David Frei) as well as the Jewish Historical Society of England. The London Beth Din archives, or most of them, were destroyed in the 1940-41 Blitz. But even before that nobody seems to have addressed the issue.
The records of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue (the Sephardic Beth Din) may say something. I'm working on that.
So: one can discuss with authority, and based on actual cases and secondary sources the practice and jurisprudence of the Beth Dinem in modern times (conversion, family law, inheritance, commercial matters and, importantly "who is a Jew"). And one can assume there were ad hoc Beth Dinem with the Chief Rabbi presiding and two assistants whenever there was a substantial Jewish community in London. But before the late 19th Century there is no evidence of any full-time Jewish judicial institution.
And there is no written history: no PhD dissertations, no books. Except for a 20th Century dissertation on the Reform Beth Din in London and a lecture at the Leo Baek College or Institute in London. There may be something in the books of Cecil Roth and Charles Duschinsky, I have been told, but I suspect not much. Likewise for the Mocatta Library at UCL.
As Wikipedia disallows original material it may be some time before anything substantive can appear in this article.
