message: Noticed a small issue at the "In Unicode" section at bottom of the page:
In Unicode
Several Unicode characters are related to visual renderings of OK:
U+1F197 🆗 SQUARED OK
U+1F44C 👌 OK HAND SIGN
U+1F44D 👍 THUMBS UP SIGN
U+1F592 🖒 REVERSED THUMBS UP SIGN
U+1F646 🙆 FACE WITH OK GESTURE
The "U+1F592 🖒 REVERSED THUMBS UP SIGN" isn't showing the corresponding emoji (on Safari 17.3.1). So I would change 🖒 to 👎 G4wkpd (talk) 18:10, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: The current character is correct, the name is just confusing. Reversed means its an outline of a thumbs up icon, the character you used is called "Thumbs Down" (there is also a "Reversed Thumbs Down", which is also an outline).

I will try to make the phrasing more politically correct and neutral. If I can find scholarly sources for both sides of the sexuality argument, I could perhaps put it into an example of its use in common arguments?
I think the "Common Arguments" section should be broken up to have a successes and criticism sections, each with multiple sources. I believe that there should also be a history on its rise to use, first reference, when it came more common... I have a found a couple modern sources, but it will take some digging to find these older ones. I will also hope to bring a more formal tone to the article, focusing on the "Common argument" section.. After sources have been collected, other section headings may present themselves . I also Will add how it contrasts to similar ideas such as Achieved Status.

Talk:New Orleans rhythm and blues

message: After first proposing this change (movement) in late May, I changed the title of this article from "New Orleans Blues" to "New Orleans Rhythm and Blues," because frankly I've never heard this genre referred to as "New Orleans Blues" but always as "New Orleans Rhythm and Blues."  For example, see the book titles by Broven and Hannusch in the "Sources" section that I added.
In general, however, this stub is substandard in qualilty, given the importance of the topic to American popular culture -- it needs improvement badly.

message: I converted this entry to a stub because it needs much additional information, given the importance of this genre to American music.

replies: text: Thank you GenQuest for doing the grunt work on this. I support the merge because I cannot find any evidence that these are separate topics. "New Orleans blues" seems to simply be a truncated form of "New Orleans rhythm and blues". Someone who knows music might know if this is correct, or if there actually is a difference. To confuse matters I will say that a google search for "New Orleans rhythm and blues" produces about 450,000 results, whereas "New Orleans blues" produces 3,460,000... so perhaps the shorter phrase is the more appropriate?

message: I have been trying to dig up more sources for the article but there is a question I have been wondering about. The article asserts "He was then sent to the United States to research, write and produce a number of series based on American western history." He made a trip in 1950,  but a couple of newspaper articles such as this from the evening edition of the Ottawa Citizen and others (including this one from the Sydney Morning Herald) assert he had been writing Riders of the Range for a few years prior to his visit to America. As far as I can see,  from what might technically be non-reliable sources,although well written and arguably reliable sources, he hadn't visited the States when he started writing Riders of the Range in 1948. I am not sure if the radio interviews say something to the contrary. Not that it is hugely relevant, but his US trip did generate a fair amount of coverage, possibly because Riders of the Range was being broadcast in Canada and Australia (BBC programmes often were), although alas I can't pin down any sources.

Arrow discusses this on pp. 109-111 of .  Sadly, I don't perceive I have the time to study this well enough to write something sensible about that to add to this article, but I think such an addition would improve the value of this article.  Similarly, I think the article on the Condorcet paradox would benefit from a companion mention of Arrow's impossibility theorem.

thread_title:  Strategic spoilers 

message: … is that it presents the theorem as being exclusively about voting systems. But that’s neither how Arrow or standard texts on the subject characterize it. Arrow himself, in his famous paper, right of the bat mentions market exchange as an example of aggregation of individual preferences into social outcome. Look at how Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy approaches it . The word “voting” doesn’t appear until the fourth paragraph in the very specific context of Condorcet’s Paradox. The whole point - as SEoP makes abundantly clear - of the impossibility theorem is that it’s NOT JUST voting (specifically majority voting) that is subject to anomalies like that of Condorcet, but *social choice* in general. 
Presenting this subject as just about voting is both misleading to the reader and does quite an injustice to a very important, even fundememtal, result. Volunteer Marek  00:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: If you'd like to add more discussion of the social choice perspective, be my guest! There's a close relationship between voting and social choice—Arrow often referred to his theorem as being about either "social choice" or "voting" interchangeably—but I focused on voting because it's more concrete and easier to understand. –Sincerely, A Lime 18:22, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

The Large black-lined figure repeated four times is not the enneagon itself but the stellation diagram (technically the black lines extend to infinity).
