As far as I can tell from the two articles, he lived his whole life in the U.S. and she has lived her whole life in Europe.

message: The intro paragraph indicates that he is well-known as the father of General Schwarzkopf. Notably, nowhere else in the article is his son even mentioned and the man was deceased well before his son became well-known. The man's claim to any public notoriety was his involvement in the Lindberg case. The intro paragraph originally read: 
"Herbert Norman Schwarzkopf (August 28, 1895 – November 25, 1958) was the first superintendent of the New Jersey State Police. He is best known for his involvement in the Lindbergh kidnapping case and for being the father of General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, the commander of all coalition forces for Operation Desert Shield/Storm."
I rewrote it to close the second sentence after reference to the Lindbergh case and began a third sentence with the incidental side note that "He was the father of ..."Irish Melkite (talk) 13:47, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Category talk:Hindu mythology

message: According to the blurb at the start of the page "myth" and "story" are synonymous, except for the fact that myth is a word which commonly is used to demean beliefs and treat them as untrue. If they are the same word but one is used for discrimination then why are we still using the discrimantory word? I don't see other discriminatory words used in place of their unbiased counterparts on other articles? We don't title LGBT articles by words that insult that community. Can you imagine if the page for women was titled "The Weak Gender"??? This is what we are doing to Hindus and that is unfair. Please rename this page and all other "myth" pages to the admittedly unbiased version of the word "stories". Thank you StopSayingMyth (talk) 14:49, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Lettres provinciales

message: This much could go as a subsection at Blaise Pascal without sinking the ship, one might imagine. --Wetman 09:27, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: The writing is not good. It needs a thorough cleanup and edit. One example among many: Pascal is said to have had to "enter clandestinely". Enter what? We aren't told. Some sentences read more like a translation out another language than sentences composed directly in English. It is sometimes needlessly prolix (the writer several times multiplies his verbs and uses the passive voice, when a single, active verb would work better), and somewhat repetitive.

I agree with most of your suggested moves for articles in this series, but as for this one, I think the title should make it clear that it's about modern historical developments.  Otherwise, it could be confused for a sociological article.  But I agree with your proposals to move the other articles about history, the coups, etc. David Cannon 11:03, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Adverbial clause

message: This article has been kept (albeit moved to the correct capitalization) after this VFD debate. Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:47, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Why is it "clauses of exclamations"? Isn't one enough? It seems like it should be "clauses of exclamation", as per all of the other clause titles. I have to admit I'm not totally familiar with all the wiki rules, but I'm going to go ahead and make this change.
61.173.81.83 (talk) 05:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  “clauses of exclamations" 

message: Surely, if after the speeches in "We left after the speeches" is a clause instead of a phrase, then so is before the speeches in "We left before the speeches." The case is either that neither one implies a verb and therefore both are phrases, or (and I think so) both of them imply verbs and therefore both are clauses. The article currently insists that "We left after the speeches" implies "... (ended)," but that "We left before the speeches" doesn't similarly imply something like "... (began)" or "... (started)," and I'm fairly sure it does.
I have a feeling the example came from an author who was searching for a sort of 'minimal pair' between phrases and clauses, but contrasting "before" and "after" here simply doesn't seem to change the semantics enough to warrant a different classification. If somebody can think of a pair like that - where a minimal word change entails a change in classification because a verb is newly implied - it would be a nice addition to the examples, but it's not necessary, and the quest for one certainly shouldn't take precedence over accuracy. I'd say if someone else comes along to read this and concurs, we should remove the 'before' example (but leave the other one since it makes a good reference for what it looks like to have an implied verb in a clause). 
Edit: I should point out, I'm open to the possibility that I misunderstood something here. If the example is actually correct, I'd be glad to hear an explanation. I'm just laying out my logic here the best I can.

Talk:Guitars (Mike Oldfield album)

message: This article (and any other review of the album anywhere) says:
"He plays all the music on the album using only various types of guitars." etc.
However, the track "Out of Sight" features the widely sampled drum loop from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks". Sure, it's possible he triggered every single loop throughout the track by using a guitar controller and then quantized it on the sequencer (to be as perfect on the beat), but that would be just way too ridiculous to the claimed concept. In any other way, the use of the loop is not applicable to and ruins the concept (and the claim) instantly. Morefun (talk) 18:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

message: A few months ago, when I cleaned up the lead of the article, I wrote:
Since then it has been repeatedly modified to add additional detail about the engagement vs. non-engagement. Currently the text reads:
This is problematic at several levels. In the first place, it is WP:UNDUE detail for the lead. Even then, the current text is not fully accurate:
* Labour government did not "cut ties". It suspended them pending a review.
* In January 2010, it "lifted" the suspension following assurances, but in May 2010, it lost power. It is doubtful if anything significant happened during the intervening four months, save for one meeting with the Communities Secretary.
* As to what happened duirng the Coalition Government, we only have MCB's word that they met some Lib Dem ministers. There is no mention of anything having come out of those meetings. The Conservative ministers refused to meet them. There were no government-level contacts, consultations, or funding releases. There are no secondary sources mentioning anything during the coalition period. Instead we have the Economist, saying " No one to talk to". 
So all this nit-picking is quite unnecessary and doesn't belong in the lead. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:51, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Apparently progress in making the parks official is slow, and the website is only updated when there is actual progress, as opposed to further delays. Most of these parks, however are de facto TFCAs already, waiting for sigantures approving their de jure status as such. It is still correct to keep the old "expected" dates, since those are the only official estimated dates of completion available, and it's fine to claim that something was expected to have happened in the past. --Aramգուտանգ 23:20, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Having considered all the aspects, I think Eugenics in Showa Japan should not be merged to Demographics of Imperial Japan but with Militarism-Socialism in Showa Japan and Japanese military-political doctrines in the Showa period. The reasons are : "demographics" concern not only Showa era but three eras, Eugenism in Showa Japan was directly related to the militarist policies of the Showa era, originating from the hakko ichiu, which promoted the superiority of the "Japanese race" and its right to conquer Asia.  --Flying tiger 12:43, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
