Talk:North Briton

message: The article makes claim that North Briton is a term used to refer to Scots this needs to be sourced, it may have been the case that the term was used some time ago but it is never used now. --Barryob  Vigeur de dessus 17:01, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't believe it is in any sort of notable use for self-identification purposes in the modern day. Obviously there will always be one or two people who choose to identify as such, but I don't think they're encyclopaedic. Modern use is mainly in historical contexts, a humorous fashion or political usage.--Breadandcheese 17:48, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It needs to be rewritten them the sentance A North Briton is a term used for a Scottish person is just not true, it is only used in a joking or derogatory way --Barryob  Vigeur de dessus 16:29, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not so. Adam Smith and other figures from the Scottish enlightenment used the term affectionately, for themselves. OK, I don't have citation to hand, but I'm working on it. It is true that "North Briton" is a term used for a Scot -  that is now considered a "silly" term doesn't nullify it's meaning however - we all know what it denotes. Of course though, the article needs much stronger citation regardless to ensure neutrality and factuality - I made some quick changes to drive the article forwards just a little.

replies: text: That was then, if you look at what I wrote I'm not denying that the term was sometimes used but it is never used now the article needs to make that clear. --Barryob  Vigeur de dessus 13:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Whether its used as an "insult" by certain people or not, isn't that relevent yet 100% of the article is babbling on about it. A lot of people in the land of Scotland were indeed Brythons (aka Britons)... and they're from the North, people from the areas of most of Scotland and Northern "England" can thus be accurately described as North Britons. - Yorkshirian (talk) 02:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Now that no-one speaks of "North Britain," the concept is kept alive in the memory of a number of historical institutions, such as the North British Railway (1846 - 1923) and until more recently the North British Hotel, the most visible hotel in the capital of Scotland.

Talk:Digimon (creature)

message: Can someone please help me here? I'm a bit confused, the way I read things, this article contradicts what is being said in at least two other articles, or vice-versa. In the Togemon article, I read it as stating that Togemon is female. In this article, it states that she is a he. Similarily, in the Birdramon and Garudamon articles, it says that Birdramon and Garudamon are also female, in this article it says that these species are male. Can this please be rectified, using reliable sources?
Comics 05:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The characters from the anime were considered "female" in personality. Other versions of the same mon will sometimes be of a different gender personality. In other words, a Togemon could be male or female just depending on the writer of the anime, manga, video game, whatever, and then be different for another product. The gender really isn't set in stone. -- Ned Scott 05:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mary Dugan

message: The novel was written by Wiliam Almon Wolff, published in 1928 under Doubleday, Doran & Company, INC. Garden City, New York. The novel consists of 35 chapters and deals with murder, sexual deviance, and other explicit themes for the time period.
The book was adapted for the sceen,  The Trial of Mary Dugan (1941) starred  
 *Laraine Day ....  Mary Dugan 
 *Robert Young ....  Jimmy Blake 
 *Tom Conway ....  Edgar Wayne 
 *Frieda Inescort ....  Mrs. Wayne 
..To name a few.
This is not nonsense. If you wish to check the validity of this novel and its description, please either purchase or borrow the novel from a local library or store. This novel was considered too explicit and far too deviant for the time it was published. Adapations have been made to dispense with the inappropriate material. 
Once such adapation is described as follows:
*In this well-executed courtroom drama, a Broadway chorine is accused of stabbing her wealthy boy friend to death. The girl is defended by her good friend. During the trial, the lawyer refrains from cross-examining the witnesses. This enrages the dancer's younger brother, who has just passed the bar exam. Her friend suddenly drops her case and allows her little brother to take over. In the end, it is discovered that the girl was a golddigger who used the money from her affairs to finance her brother's expensive education. This does not stop the younger brother from building his case and eventually proving her innocence. Thanks to him, the real killer is exposed and justice prevails. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
A university of Toronto adaptation was written by Lorrie Gilsten in the Classic Literature Department and was transformed into a play staged at Bader Theatre, U of T in 2004. The Adaptation recieved a mixed review but non the less was deemed a success.
I will be resotring the article, and expanding it later on today. If you have an issue with this, I invite you to consult me on my Talk page. I appreciate your candour in this situation, but I advise to in future, research your accusations before posting them.

Talk:List of special response units

message: Is this a list of "Special Response Units" in the same style as the US version of this page? 
As these are almost all Military units and not LE (as the US Special Response Units article is focused on).
I wouldn't refer to any of the Australia listed Military SOF units as "Special Response Units" nor are they comparable to many units listed on the United States Special Response Units page such as local Police/Sheriff "SWAT" teams etc...
YEPPOON 21:23 08/02/07
Is this the same as List of special forces units or is it different?  (some entries link to counter-terrorist type units, some to special forces units)  if so, how?  This list suffers since there is no main article for Special Response Units.  Scarykitty 03:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This page, List of Special Response Units, is the target of an automatic redirect from Emergency Response Team. I believe this redirection is not a valid one.
The List of Special Response Units seems to focus on primarily the police and military units which serve as special units, however the concept of Emergency Response Team is broader.
For instance, in The Netherlands Emergency Response Teams are people within companies or organisations who are trained to be the first line of response to any incident occurring within their locations. In effect it is more like the Industrial Civil Defence sections within large organisations.

thread_title:  "correct" == ''Cedrus'' and related concepts 

message: There are many popular naming conventions that do not match the scientific classificiation system (i.e., buffalo/bison). However, we should be careful to avoid the POV position that seeks to re-engineer a little-used term (i.e., thuja) as if it is the popular or "correct" term. In fact, it may be the scientific term, but not the term used in literature. To push a non-used term as if it were the used term, just to help "disambiguate" between "true" cedars and cedars such as the "Western red cedar" is POV, original research, and not allowed under Wikipedia policies.
Wikipedia's policies clearly state that the content here should reflect what outside sources say, not what certain POV editors choose to edit.

Fictional adoptive parents is a much narrower, more specific category, much like this one. If the fact that someone is adopted merits a category, I think the fact that they have adopted does, too. Doubly so, in fact, because while adoption is a common enough backstory for characters, most fictional characters have biological children (I'd say even the vast majority).

thread_title: Untitled

message: Hello All, 
Please pay careful attention when editing/contributing to use language that is descriptive and do not limit existing descriptive language unless absolutely necessary as source texts on the Hjortspring are largely un-digitized and hard to access unless you live near a maritime museum's library in Scandinavia. This information is for everyone else who cannot access it in any other way. My goal with my own contributions is to use particular language that communicates effectively with as many readers as possible, but also conforms to conventional maritime, archaeological, and anthropological terminology. This gets complicated as many people might best understand the "front and back" of a ship, though it should absolutely be "bow and stern" or "fore and aft"; and in terms of an archaeological site, they might be using "North and South", referring to different ends of the dig, disregarding the actual content of the site. This may seem like a small matter, but to move forward in maintaining and building a high quality article about this very important artifact, I feel it should be seriously considered and discussed.
