I'm no historian but, offhand, I doubt that it is true in the sense of incorporation being discussed here. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 13:31, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Indian Territory was a descriptive term in law for an area of land within the Louisiana Purchase, an integral/incorporated part of the USA, whose boundaries changed over a period of decades. There never was an Indian Territory established through an organic act. Therefore, Indian Territory was neither an incorporated or unincorporated territory; the land considered Indian Territory was, however, incorporated. Drdpw (talk) 15:03, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Continental territories acquired from European nations were considered as part of the US, although it was recognized that native peoples had rights to the land that were not extinguished except by treaties by the federal government with tribes. Although the concept of incorporated territory was not explicitly articulated until later, there was certainly the concept of manifest destiny with the expectation that US would expand across the North American continent. older ≠ wiser 15:10, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Wilhelm, Prince of Albania

message: Having read through most of the memoirs of the last German Emperor, there was a section dealing with this fiasco, in which the Kaiser reveals that he did, in fact, oppose his appointment, due to his relatively meager wealth and limited knowlege of Albania. However, he also brought up that he attempted to give him some very important advice regarding albanian traditional custom and an attempt to convince him to build his capital away from the range of british naval cannons. It was rather interesting to hear from his end, and I was wondering if it was admissable in the article in some way.207.5.160.27 (talk) 11:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Carol Cleveland

message: Did Cleveland actually ever say "But it's my only line!" or is the author or authors of this article getting her confused with a different actress who said that multiple times in a later episode? Actually, in some episodes Cleveland had a LOT of lines (Scott of the Sahara, for example), and I bet she had more lines overall than Terry Gilliam.
I will try to determine whether Cleveland herself ever said "But it's my only line."
:If I recall correctly, that line was a running joke in ONE episode only (it's in the sketch with the bed salesmen who exagerate/understate the dimensions of the beds). Not sure if it was Carol who played the woman in that sketch.  Bonalaw 12:55, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: There seems to be a point of contention as to whether Ms. Cleveland was ever on The Benny Hill Show, as claimed here.  Her official website does not mention Hill's show among her credits (though she does note having appeared on The Two Ronnies).  She was definitely not in any of the 58 editions of Hill's 1969-1989 Thames TV series of specials.  Was she possibly in at least one of his 1960's BBC endeavours?  Or, to put it another way, where or how'd the rumour get started? –Wbwn 18:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

<<She appeared nude (briefly) in two Python sketches, apparently avoiding the censors by showcasing extended cleavage.>>
Cleveland never appeared nude in Monty Python.  The closest she ever got to that was her running away from the camera in the last scene of "Scott of the Sahara."

Talk:Hypnosis

message: The crime section is misleading. It implies that hypnosis can force people to do things against their will and that subjects aren't in control. There is no evidence for that. As seen in the military section and well proven by Martin Theodore Orne and other scientist in the field, hypnotized people are not helpless, not unconscious and not more willing to engage in anti-social behavior than without hypnosis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Theodore_Orne#Antisocial_Behavior_and_Manchurian_Candidates
It seems the people mentioned in the "crime" section were not committed for "abusing hypnosis". They were committed for a variety of crimes and abusing power positions. Just the newspaper-articles used as sources claim that hypnosis was a tool in this. Some of the articles admit that it is at least questionable that "hypnosis" was responsible.
That hypnosis could make somebody not notice a traumatizing event is an extremely questionable claim. It is close to misinformation. Even memory-loss above normal forgetfulness is rare. Do you remember more than the gist of a conversation after it's over? Directing somebodies attention to what he would not remember anyways, can seem like induced memory-loss to the person. Fittingly, hypnotic suggestions are often ineffective on people who say they cannot remember anything from a trance. 2001:A61:1205:C801:D9DE:DB30:3BC6:9F0C (talk) 02:02, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Research Methods in Clinical Psychology

message: Hello Wikipedia, for my Wikipedia Project I added a section into the hypnosis page that had a long list of sections to be included on the page. These involve a multitude of topics like Therapeutic Applications, "hypnosis" versus "hypnotism", and most importantly Clinical observations of hypnosis. Clinical observations of hypnosis is an important topic for users of Wikipedia to learn more about the process of hypnosis in the health field and the outcomes for chronically ill patients. The section added to the wikipedia page is about a meta-analysis study that included 85 controlled experiments with hypnotic induction. The results of the meta-analysis concluded that using hypnosis or hypnotic intervention is an effective tool in the pain relief of chronic illnesses. This is an important topic I believe should be on the wikipedia page as it is a beneficial tool for understanding the long lasting positive impacts hypnosis can hold.

message: Many, many years ago the Smithsonian ran an exhibit about Wilkes & his South Seas expedition (maybe it's run one since; I don't know). I recall one post at the exhibit about Congress eliminating funding about two-thirds of the way thru the journey. Word reached Wilkes to return to the States; he refused. (No funding basically meant no supplies in appointed ports.)
When he returned, he was court-martialed, alright, but not so much for the crimes he was accused of but for defying an order of Congress.
