Talk:St Mary's Church, Clophill

message: There was, for future reference, a discussion of the article title and the church names at User talk:Uncle G#St Marys Church, Clophill.  My view, explained at greater length there, is to go with the 1850 church commissioners in the Gazette, who had the Church of St Mary (to which The Virgin is the common appendix — that can also be found in the revised English Heritage listing) as the old building and St Mary's Church, with apostrophe, as the new building.

thread_title:  Names and apostrophes 

message: For what it's worth, my father was vicar of the adjoining parish to the North, Haynes, from 1970 to 1987, and was once called out (i think c. 1982?) by the vicar of Clophill; they and one other local vicar went to the church at midnight and did a ritual of exorcism, with bell, book and candle, after people had reported sounds and lights at the church (most likely grave robbers). The activity did stop afterwards, although i'm not claiming the exorcism was connected to the cessation. But occult activity, including the opening and desecration of graves and the use of occult symbols, certainly was going on there in the late 1970s. i don't have a citation i'm afraid.

message: There's a common misconception on Wikipedia that primary sources are never acceptable, but those aren't the rules. The editor who added the fact that an incident is addressed in a film is not making any claims based on interpretation, and the fact that the film addresses the topic can be easily verified.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.83.14 (talk) 02:08, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Bedok

message: Please note that bedok, beduk, bedog, bedug, etc. is not a slit drum. A beduk is actually a very large cylindrical drum with a wooden body with lengths and diameters usually reaching over a metre, and the striking membrane made from thick buffalo hide. The beduk is placed horizontally across cross-beam stands for smaller, mobile, versions. Very large models are permanently hung above ground at shoulder height in buildings of importance such as istanas (palaces), mosques, village community halls, etc. 
The slit drum made from a hollowed log or bamboo section is called kentung.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.226.7.211 (talk) 08:03, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Awakening of Mahayana Faith

message: OK, oops, I created another one bec. I saw no link at Buddhist Texts, which now links to Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana. I thought I looked, but didn't find. The one I created has more cites and links. Now, I suppose we should combine them. However, before we do, I have a little problem. Might come from my ignorance. But maybe not. It seems to me that if the text is indeed written from the perspective of the essence-function paradigm, we should probably quote something from the treatise to that effect and then take the position that it was almost certainly an East Asian work, not an Indian one. There is no evidence that the Indians had an essence/function paradigm, did they? Alternatively, I don't actually know if if is written from the perspective of the essence-function paradigm. Maybe it isn't. Or maybe that is itself a sectarian claim rather than supported by internal textual evidence--e.g., maybe "Chinese Mahayana tradition holds that the text is written from the perspective of the essence-function paradigm"? Else I suggest just drop the claim, if cite, tradition, or internal evidence not available. 
Also, the remark about "One Mind in Two Aspects" is rather mysterious, and a quote from Suzuki (1900) is in order. 
Finally, I find "one of the most important texts" to be problematic, especially considering (as I understand it) that it's not normally considered a canonical text. Show it's important and trust the reader to come to the right conclusion. --Munge 04:43, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Looks like an advertisment 

message: 3rd party unbiased proof is needed to make this article believable.
This article features many claims that this Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles was the "First" at achieving something or that something-or-other they did was hugely successful, yet I see no statistics or third party quotations from respected impartial sources to back up these claims. Statements such as, "Each BW&BK issue comes with a free compilation CD known as "Knuckletracks". Knuckletracks was created as a vehicle for bands to expose their music to the mass audience BW&BK reaches each month, and the concept has been extraordinarily successful." is an excellent example of this. To what standard was it successful? How many sold?
But the most irking part to me is this phrase, "BW&BK’s distribution now totaled 23 countries and the publication became available wherever metal magazines are sold." I am aware of the Heavy Metal musical genre and know where to buy such magazines so I conducted my own audit just on my local errands and concluded that at my local stores, INCLUDING the local HMV shop, BW&BK magazines were nowhere to be found! No they were not sold out - they weren't carried; and the few store clerks I talked to knew nothing of this magazine. Now my test was just a small one but it proves to me that this claim is just outright false! Maybe it is in 23 countries - but not in my suburban American town.
These "reporters" that gather information? Are they actual professional reporters, or volunteers writers who happen to have access to a computer? Wiki is an Encyclopedia, let's get the facts of history correct.
Speaking of history: after examining the HISTORY file on this document it appears that anytime anyone else outside of the author's immediate group of buddies tries to add ANYTHING, it gets reversed (so-called "Vandalism" claim aside) leading me to believe that the article was written by members of... or at least supporters of.. this BW&BK franchise and for that reason it should be deleted as it looks like a shameless & cleverly disguised advertisement.
There is just too many questions on the credibility of this article an as the author wrote in the HISTORY file... would the Wiki Management please come and do something about it?  64.229.206.18 00:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bush administration payment of columnists

message: Lemme word this in the most polite way possible.  As we all know, many people, including Wikipedia editors, do not like Bush.  But is this "payment to columnists" matter a "scandal?"  Does it deserve to be described on the front page no less as one and listed on "Political Scandals?"  Given alleged Democratic superiority in analysis, perhaps a little more even-handedness would be helpful.  Thanks. 221.25.208.156 11:43, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't recall any time in history when payment of taxpayer money (other than campaign checkoff) was diverted to support political position directly through payments to the media.

thread_title: NPOV

message: This really only presents one side of this.  In the case of Maggie Gallagher, for instance, she wasn't paid to promote policies through her columns (like Armstrong apparently was), she was paid as an academic to draft materials for the Dept. of Human Services.  She is known as an academic studying marriage issues.  As a comparison, I write a column in a newspaper but my full-time job is with a state university.  It does not follow that my columns, when they do line up with a policy of the state administration, are written because I get a state paycheck.  I don't have time to revise now, but if no one is around by the time I wander back, I'll take care of it. -- Jbamb 05:00, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the fact that she promoted "Bush's marriage initiative, which redirected welfare funds, previously used to reward states for lowering out-of-wedlock child birth rates, to pay for premarital counseling and abstinence education" is scandalous in of itself.  It's a marriage initiative based on faith not on evidence of efficacy, and that has no role in academia. Viriditas (talk) 01:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The lead states that Israel is a member of this group "due to its strong cultural and historical links with Western Europe," but doesn't cite a reference. While it may be true that Israel has cultural links with Europe as a continent, the country's links are much more with Eastern Europe than with Western Europe, since most emigrants to Israel from Europe had their roots in Eastern Europe and not in Western Europe. This is still true today, as the majority who emigrate to Israel today come from the Former Soviet Union.
