Talk:East Africa cricket team

message: This is speculation so I am addressing it here and not in the article. It seems that Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania,Rwanda and Burundi will be moving towards a federal East African state (as the goal of the East African Community) by 2010. If this happens, then will the various cricket teams be merged into a new East African team? Has anyone heard or seen anything to that effect? Or will the various teams remain separate? Retaining separate teams could be possible since the United Kingdom has 2 teams or 3 depending on how you view it (an England team, a Scotland team and Northern Ireland being represented by a unified Ireland team).72.27.86.39 07:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Wesley C. Uhlman

message: I grew up in Seattle,  in 1969  I was 23 and am familiar with how he ruined the schools with his forced busing of students.
  In 1969  Seattle PS's  had 100,000 students, 90% white,
  by the time Uhlman left office,  enrollment was down to 40,000.
The City of Seattle has had a stable population of about 500,000  for the last 60 years.
The surrounding suburbs have had all the growth and that's where the white parents fled with their children during Ullman's misrule.
 By the early 80's,  the number of white students in Seattle PS's was down to 10,000.
 A 90% drop from 1969.
 The article also fails to mention the recall election Uhlman barely survived.

The Emily Lieb article I used to cite for most of this contains a lot that is not in our article, if someone wants to expand it.

Talk:MOSAIC threat assessment systems

message: I don't understand why the opinions of people who have not used the system or demonstrated a fundamental understanding of how it works are included here. That is not a controversy. That is trying to present an opposing viewpoint as being equal out of one that is not. Can we remove the uninformed opinions? They don't belong here. Let someone post them on their own blog. I'd also add, that in light of the actual harm that the proprietary algorithms used in 'predictive policing' do, (see Chicago) these comments seem especially dated.

Talk:Elisabeth Leonskaja

message: The assertion that a recording is "notable" lacks in-article support. It reads as an opinion of its author. I suggest supporting text or reference(s). These would make it useful and credible to more readers.
NOTE: I *agree* the recording is "notable." It's a transcription for accompaniment by piano of a piano *sonata* (written to be *unaccompanied*). And the accompanist is one of *the* elite pianists of the era preceding ours. But many readers who lack knowledge of Western Art Music are unlikely to discern this without context.

:Teams representing only Trinidad played first-class cricket from 1869 [until 1963-64]
Are we certain that this was indeed the case? It strikes me that it could simply be a case of the name not reflecting the geographical coverage, in the same way as the England cricket team's name doesn't reflect the fact that its coverage includes Wales. Loganberry (Talk) 00:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Barley honey

message: True, this article has no room for expansion by me unless book research is done. However, I propose this article stay due to the lack of resources currently on Google on barley honey. If you search for "barley honey", results from Google show only this article and recipes that combine barley and honey, two completely seperate entities. If someone is looking for the actual barley honey, this is the only resource that will tell them what it is - additionally, it is cited in Grocer's Encyclopedia.

I took it that those people who experience a flash the second ti e actually experience a series of flashes that stretch into the future. Because each flash is separated by several decades, most people only experience the first flash briefly and then are dead at subsequent flash points.

Talk:Emanuel Feuermann

message: The article states: "He moved for some time to Zürich, but happened to be in Vienna at the time of the Anschluss. Bronislaw Huberman helped Feuermann and his family escape to British Palestine. From there they moved to the United States in 1937."
This isn't possible. As everyone knows, the Anschluss occurred in 1938.
Are the rest of the statements in this article of similar quality? It seems a good-hearted article at first glance: competent, if perhaps, as others have remarked, over-effusive. However, mistakes this obvious shake one's faith in _anything_ such authors might write. While I don't see the necessity for over-referencing an article, that is only true when the article is arguably correct. What seems like overly burdensome requirements for referencing can really help out in a case like this, where the author is enthusiastic but doesn't seem to realize that every statement must actually be correct.

thread_title:  Historical errors so obvious as make one doubt any of the 'facts' stated in the article. 

message: It's exceedingly difficult to reach any solid conclusions from the info in this article as to which nationality/ies can properly be assigned to Feuermann. There's no indication of his parent's nationality. His place of birth, which is nominally in Ukraine, was in fact located in a region that has belonged to a number of different countries at various times. I read the relevant sections of the Wiki article on Kolomyya, but that didn't help to resolve the question. And although he ultimately emigrated to the United States, it's extremely unlikely that he had acquired US citizenship before his death. (If I'm not mistaken, there's a 5-year minimum residency requirement.) So I've removed both of the categories that asserted US nationality. If anybody has reliable sourced information pertaining to these issues, please reply here and/or add such info to the article. (And please be kind enough to leave a short note on my talk page.)
