Talk:Carrom

message: What is the point of the sentence in the intro about it not being patented?  If the game was played in the early 20th century there is no way it could be the subject of a patent.  Patent terms are only around 20 years now and were probably less back then.  It should be sufficient to simply note that it has been played for a long time.

thread_title:  Plagiarism? 

message: The section mentioning David Stoll is written in a very NPOV style: "David Stoll criticizes X group for doing Y action because of Z motives, but he's wrong, because he doesn't understand group X would never do Y action because they have W motives". I don't know enough about this subject or Wikipedia editing to handle this constructively - maybe the entire section should go, or maybe it should be written "David criticizes X group for doing Y action because of Z motives. However, X group believes that this is an inaccurate portrayal of their motives, and is officially opposed to Y action because of W motives." AbigailBuccaneer (talk) 13:56, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I wonder if the words indian, indians and latin american indians can be rephrased. These were likely the phrases used at the time as they root in colonialism but it may be more clear if there is alternative language available to remove potential confusion between the indigenous populations of of south america and people native to the country india.

Talk:The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even

message: Bride is an incredible work that epitomizes the frustration of single men in modern society.  Always seeing the woman they want that is forever unavailable (a bride), always masturbating to the idea of disrobing and fucking her, but this will never happen (they're seperated by planes) and they are forever single (bachelors).  I can't believe this was done in the early 20th century.

Talk:The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber

message: Whilst fans of Jinyong's novels will understand the contents of this page, it will be a total mystery to the casual reader trying to find some information on the novel. Therefore the following changes are planned:
* Addition of Chinese characters to English-translated names.
* Adding context and substance to the plot.
* Expand on the characters
* (perhaps) establishing sub-pages devoted to the major characters, the Ming Cult (the current page is concerned with the real religious movement Manichaeism, which doesn't really add context to the novel.)
Also, an issue to be debated: is it useful to separate the characters into protagonists and antagonists? I don't necessarily agree that Meijue is an antagonist, or Zhou Zhiruo is a protagonist.--Alexio 02:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The "Founding" paragraph of the "History" section of this article, by a somewhat detailed description of Henri Selmer's founding of the company Henri Selmer of Paris appears to suggest that the founding of Henri Selmer is in some way the founding of Conn-Selmer, which is a U.S. company. This seems to be misleading. The Conn-Selmer company website seems to say that Conn-Selmer is simply the exclusive U.S. distributor of Henri Selmer musical instruments. There is a subsidiary of Conn-Selmer which is simply called Selmer, which apparently was founded by a brother of Henri Selmer who had moved (temporarily?) to the U.S. and had his own skill in making musical instruments. Could the original author of this article at their convenience clarify these matters? They are I think interesting and relevant to the article.

message: Aha, here's some info on elections.  This is from the presentation of Mr. Li Chun Sik, Deputy Secretary General of the Standing Committee
of the Supreme People's Assembly to the Inter-Parliamentary Union meeting in Pyongyang, April-May 1991 , p. 17-18.
:The PRESIDENT thanked Mr. Li Chun Sik for his presentation and asked about the electoral system. Mr. Li Chun Sik replied that the basic provisions governing the system were laid down in the Constitution and that elections were on the basis of universal direct suffrage with a secret ballot.  Constituencies elected roughly one member per 30,000 population. While candidates could be nominated by anyone, it was the practice for all candidates to be nominated by the parties. These nominations were examined by the United Reunification Front and then by the Central Electoral Committee, which allocated candidates to seats. The candidate in each seat was then considered by the electors in meetings at the workplace or similar, and on election day the electors could then indicate approval or disapproval of the candidate on the ballot paper.
So indeed, the front chooses one candidate per seat, and the ordinary voters can only approve or disapprove.  The article should note that elections in NK don't choose one candidate out of several, but only ratify the list of candidates already selected by the "United Reunification Front" (this is a mistranslation; should be Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland). --Reuben 17:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
