Talk:Tourism in Zimbabwe

message: Saying that the tourism industry declined "after the land reform programme" is quite ludicrously biased. It implies that this is the only opinion around for Zimbabwe's lack of tourism.

message: How about KOsH9? Or maybe even "iridane" (IrH9)? The latter would especially be intriguing since it would be the transition metal analogue of methane, silane etc, and might be a gas or volatile liquid. It would be zerovalent like methane (since Ir and H have the same electronegativity).

thread_title: Isoelectronic compounds

message: The text describes the geometry as tricapped trigonal prismatic, but the figure now in the article is a monocapped square antiprism. The tricapped trigonal prism geometry is sourced to the book by Holleman and Wiberg, and I have just added as a second source the book by Housecroft and Sharpe which agrees. So I am going to remove the figure with the incorrect geometry, and replace it with a figure of the tricapped trigonal prism which I found at Metal ions in aqueous solution#Lanthanides and actinides. (No, rhenium is not a lanthanide or actinide, but this figure does show the correct geometry). Dirac66 (talk) 00:23, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Henry Callow

message: Hi, the correct jurisdiction is the British islands.  Using the term British Isles is incorrect as Ireland is a different country.  The judge would have been unable to pass a sentence in this jurisdiction.  --Bardcom (talk) 16:03, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, you are mistaken. The British Islands do not comprise a single legal jurisdiction - Scottish and English law, for example, are entirely separate. In any case, your comment about him not being able to pass a sentence in Ireland is irrelevant, because the article doesn't say that he could. It merely names the highest order geographical entity in which this was the last such sentence. TharkunColl (talk) 16:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Reading the article on British Islands indicates that it has some standing.  Perhaps not enough for a death sentence...  Using a geographic area like this is exactly the reason why it's so contentious.  Why refer to the British Isles for comparrison in an article like this, that does not deal with a geographic subject?  It's against consensus on this wiki, and misleading the readers into thinking that the British Isles is a single legal jurisdiction.  --Bardcom (talk) 16:30, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If he had been the last judge in Europe to pass such a sentence, that would be notable. Similarly, British Isles is a geographical unit. Nowhere does it imply a single legal jurisdiction. But on that subject... many laws passed at Westminster are still in force in Ireland, and unlike Scotland it uses English common law. It is possible for judges to move from one to the other during their career, and many Irish barristers train in England. TharkunColl (talk) 16:34, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I removed the line, as it refers to nothing actually in the article here, but it looks a bit like this might have been directly lifted from another source (given the reference to a representation on the 'cover').  No reference is given for the section, so it is difficult to check up on.  If it is a copyvio, it could bring into doubt the rest of the section.

His funeral was held on 20 November 2003 so the date of 19  november is a nonsense.

Also, the main statement does not in itself logically imply the parenthetical statement, so the "so that" wording is misleading.  Is the parenthetical statement true?

Talk:Stewarton

message: I'm sorry, but some of this article is becoming quite unreadable. We must keep in mind that the goal is not to add as much information as possible, but to make a concise, informative and easy to read article which assumes no background knowledge on the part of the reader. There are just far, far, far too many historical anecdotes, confusing references to local knowledge and pieces of irrelevant information to make this readable for someone not acquainted with the town. I live in the town and I know a fair amount of its history and even I can't get through this. What possible use will this article be to someone, for instance, moving to Stewarton from the United States and looking for some basic information on what the town is like? They'd need a degree in obscure Scottish local history to make any sense of much of what is written here!
I know this is a labour of love, but this is not the outlet for this sort of historical writing. It's very useful to have people so knowledgeable about the area contribute and local history and geography must be included, but we can't let these contributions completely dominate the article to the extent that it becomes almost unreadable. I propose that a large amount of this is edited down.
:Yes. It's not just that Wiki is an encyclopedia, it's that expressing personal opinions about shopping, history, and "traditional Geocaches"??? without citations will soon lead to contradictory statements. E.g., what's the "best" place to shop? What was the "most important" historical event of the 19th century? What event has a "growing reputation"? (Is someone also going to modify the article when the event has a "diminishing reputation"?) The primary rules of Wiki are verifiability, no original research, and neutral point of view. I've removed some of the hyperbole, but this article still needs pruning, and reliable, third-party references. 24.130.129.140 (talk) 04:26, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
