Template talk:FAQ

message: When I see Frequently Asked Questions at the top of this template, particularly when it is "hide" mode, I think that I'll get to the FAQs by clicking on that link. Instead I am directed to a page explaining the concept of frequently asked questions. Then I have to click back to the page where the FAQ template is and figure out what to do next. Isn't the concept of a FAQ well known enough that we can just remove that link from this template? Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 20:05, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Only then Banyuwangi was captured, a long and ambitious dream toward further occupation on Bali was launched by the Dutch."

Talk:Michelle Kosilek

message: It remains problematic that almost all of the biographical material, in addition to its excessive detail, is unsourced. If the source is Kosilek's autobiography, that needs to be made clear.
That said, her autobiography is not a proper third party source in any case, nor is her self-authored promotional material on Smashwords. I'd suggest facing this squarely and removing the lengthy biography. Instead, note that in 2011 she wrote her autobiography and then summarize it in 2 paragraphs. Do that with language like "she wrote" and "she detailed" and "she recounted" rather than "she claimed" or "she contended". But make clear teh source and maintain a sense of proportion.
I suspect that a better WP entry than Michelle Kosilek would have been, and still might be, Kosilek lawsuits. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 15:07, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is a good suggestion: I greatly reduced the length of the biography in this edit. Part of the issue is that Kosilek's autobiography does not follow a chronological timeline and that the reader would struggle to piece together a chronological narrative from reading it. But I agree that this sort of summary is more in keeping with Wikipedia policy. Just Tidying Up (talk) 21:31, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

:Don't know; from the way it's written, possibly the fact that he umpired a game featuring a pitcher he had once opposed? But it occurs to me that that might apply to Lon Warneke and Bill Dinneen as well (among others), so I doubt that's the "unique" feat. MisfitToys 20:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Serpent (novel)

message: I'm not exactly sure about the order of the books except that Serpent is the first and Some Summer Lands is the last in the series. I've read only Serpent and Atlan yet; and while according to all sources Atlan was the second published book, and can be the immediate sequel to Serpent (since its storyline can be understood without having to read any book that can be between the two), it is mentioned as the third book everywhere, including the book cover itself. Possibly Dragon was written much later, but its story is set between the first two books. I don't know. – Alensha talk 21:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: that all 3 powers were constructing vessels that broke the London agreement by 1938.
The KGV class of British battleships were definitely within the treaty and the the follow on Aircraft carriers from the Ark Royal went through restrictions since the heavy amoured decks meant comprimises were made elsewhere ( lower decks hieghts , only 3 screws instead of 4)
As for the US breaking the agreement, I though the last aircraft carrier built during this time was "pint sized' to keep within the total carrier tonnage permitted.

message: Why do people keep getting this wrong? A simple look at a map and where the county line runs shows it:
FSP is in Starke, Bradford County.
Union CI is in (as the name implies) Union County.
Raiford is in Union County, Starke is in Bradford County.
I am not going to correct this as people who have no clue just keep changing it back to the wrong thing.
Take a look at a map. FSP is in Bradford County. Union CI is right next to it, with only a road in between. But that road also follows the county line between Bradford and Union.
To wit: FSP is in Bradford County and thus related to Starke. Raiford is NOT in Bradford County. Is it so hard?
FSP - Bradford County - Starke.
Union CI - Union County - Raiford.

Talk:General Church of the New Jerusalem

message: Substantial edits were made to the article on 11 July. Generally they are said to involve organization into sections and shifts to NPOV. I appreciate NPOV, but, in a number of cases the description also changes from accurate to inaccurate. Example: Before the edit, the article denied that New Church is Monarchianist. The revision says that it is Monarchianist. I believe that the original version is correct. Further, I question the NPOV of some of the edits. The classification was changed from "Other Christian" to "Christian Heterodoxy." As New Church people do not regard themselves as "heterodox," the edit seems to abandon NPOV.

Talk:Epipalaeolithic Near East

message: "The Epipaleolithic or Mesolithic was a period in the development of human technology that precedes the Neolithic period of the Stone Age. It is preferred as an alternative to Mesolithic in areas with limited glacial impact." ---- Why? What does "glacial impact", limited or otherwise, have to do with it? -- 201.51.211.130 22:06, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The impact in Northwestern europe (which is where this terminology originates) was much more severe than in the mediterranean region. For one the latter was not periodically covered in ice or tundra, which dramatically affects flora and fauna on which hunter gatherers depend. Therefore there's a clear period (the Mesolithic) where glaciers had a direct or indirect effect in northwest europe, but not in more southerly regions where there's no clear boundary.

Talk:Women who have sex with women

message: On the whole, women tend to work through developing a self-concept internally, or with other women with whom they are intimate. Women (heterosexual or otherwise) also limit who they divulge their sexual identities to and more often see being lesbian as a choice, as opposed to gay men, who work more externally and see being gay as outside their control.
This seems to be an opinion, not a fact. Key points that demonstrate this are as follows
* The phrase "women tend to," with no quantitative research to back up the assertion. If there are statistics that describe this more accurately, those should be given more explicitly.
* Similarly, the phrase "more often see being lesbian as a choice" needs to be backed up. This should be easy if the citation has this information. If It doesn't, I propose removal as the claim is not without harm if untrue
* "gay men, who work more externally" doesn't make sense. What does "work more externally" mean?
* "gay men ... see being gay as outside their control" is a very broad claim and, again, needs to include the relevant evidence
* This argument compares all women versus just gay men. Do *all* women see lesbianism as a choice? Is that information relevant to how lesbians see lesbianism or how WSW see lesbianism? Is that information relevant to the section on mental health?
Unless there is dispute, I will make edits in a few days with some added sources. The book does have an internet archive version and a page number given, but I am not able to access it. Regardless, if the information is factual, the language should reflect that. If it is opinion, then that should be noted as well. Fluxjupyter (talk) 15:47, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
