Talk:Copper mining in Michigan

message: "Fringe writers have suggested that as much as 1.5 billion pounds of copper was extracted during this period, but archaeologists consider such high figures as "ill-constructed estimates" and that the actual figure is unknown."
This is quite a biased way of writing, and not usual in Wikipedia. It gives the impression that "archaeologists" (presumably scientists?) are united in the view that "high figures" estimated for prehistoric copper mining at Lake Superior are an illusion countenanced only by "fringe writers" which group evidently contains no archaeologists (therefore no scientists?). 1.5 billion pounds of copper mined prehistorically is a high-end estimate. 500 million pounds of copper is more usual. Of course the actual amount is unknown. Nobody left any records known to us. "unknown" includes both of the above estimates as well as higher, in between and lower values, and therefore is not informative. Jwilsonjwilson (talk) 06:55, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Dave Bautista/Archive 1

message: "remove untagged pictures. In no sense was flooding the page with huge, low quality pictures a good move". The pics made the page better. I didn't add them and should have checked for a tag but maybe somebody could track them down again. The pic we have now is awful and the others were a good move if tagged properly.

replies: text: The pictures were not an improvement. One was visibly copyrighted while the other was of poor quality, and both pictures were too large and disrupted the page. Wikipedia is not an image repository, and the continued saturation of the David Batista and Brock Lesnar articles with untagged, copyrighted, and excessively large pictures by Alm93 / 70.81.117.175 is becoming very tiresome.

Talk:List of films featuring the Irish Republican Army

message: Removed this POV Statement
::Even though the IRA is viewed as a terrorist group in most of these films, they were only trying to make Ireland separate from Great Britain.
:1. This is clearly POV
:2. It is inaccurate as Ireland was never part of "Great Britain" but the United Kingdom and, in most of these flims, the part in the UK would be just Northern Ireland.
:3. Saying the only wanted "X" is also inaccurate as various factions have had many other political objectives, such as establishing "Socialsit" republic in Ireland or not recognising the governemnt of the Republic of Ireland. Dainamo (talk) 12:13, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Russian Spaniel

message: This page throws up many interesting questions - what I as a non-dog expert am curious about is its non-recognition. Is it common for official US and UK kennel clubs not to recgonise breeds with little penetration into Anglophone countries? Has there been discussion? What would official clubs call these dogs anyway in the meantime? Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:20, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember reading something about it when I was doing a couple of extra bits for the Alsatian Shepalute article, and I just managed to find it here . Apparently the American Kennel Club requires 3 generations of breeding in the United States and 500 dogs before they recognise the dog as a new breed. I imagine that the US Russian Spaniel Club is working towards this, which is why they are pushing for people to register their dogs - to reach the 500 mark. Not sure about the UK Kennel Club, but I expect it's a very similar scenario. Going to go and add that to the article now :). Miyagawa (talk) 21:19, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: The requirements for registration stated in the article are not an accurate reflection of the requirements stated by either The Kennel Club or the AKC. The AKC can add a breed if they consider such an action justified based on a number of factors, and The Kennel Club wants to see similar evidence, but both require more qualifications than reported and neither state  the absolutes featured in the article.

Link diocesan in the lead?
Second paragraph, the link with "top" doesn't lead to a section, only a redirect.
"…that open doors…" sounds a bit POV. If it's taken from the reference, put it in quotes.
I think the second half of the first paragraph and the second paragraph of "Early history" need a reference. If they're covered by ref 6, just duplicate it at the ends of the paragraphs.
"…and began to enroll more and more students each year." is redundant and can be taken out.
Why are the fires "strange"? Take the word out.
"In the 20th century…" is redundant because the exact year
"…as well as several dormitory…" change to "…and several dormitory…"
"Spanish-American" should be "Spanish–American"; note the dash
"Perhaps one of the most pivotal events…" is POV and unprofessional.
I'm going to stop here. I suggest withdrawal and peer review/independent copy-edit. There are a few POV phrases (such as outlined above) and the prose needs smoothing out. A few ref formatting things, though: Mm40 (talk) 01:40, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't understand the rationale of this claim. The guy invented a writing system that might have been an alternative to the adoption of Cyrillic alphabet. So maybe Chuchki could have adopted the alphabet to resist Russification. The argument is a bit flawed put down like this, it needs at least the reference to a  source that explains it.
