Talk:Celtic Europe

message: Why have these two autonomous communities of Spain been included in Celtic Europe? Even though their heritage is Celtic (arguably), linguistically they are part of Latin Europe, and their culture is also hardly "predominantly Celtic" anymore. I mean, Celtic heritage has influenced much of Western and Central Europe through history, but both Asturias and Galicia are closer to Latin Europe than Celtic Europe, particularly since no Celtic language is even spoken here anymore.  Ronline ✉ 06:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the situation is often more complex than just language. However, are cultural customs in Galicia and Asturias really that different from those of Spain? And closer to, say, Ireland? I've always seen the Galicians as a nation that are separate yet closely-related to the Spanish nation (just like Catalans are). However, I don't know too much about the case, I concede. I would love to find out more. Perhaps the article should explain this situation in more depth (i.e. "Galicia and Asturias are sometimes seen as part of Celtic Europe, due to common culture and heritage, even though no Celtic language is spoken in this area" or something like that). By the way, was a Celtic language ever spoken in these areas? If so, was this some proto-Celtic or had the branches already diverged by then? Thanks,  Ronline ✉ 06:19, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

* The article consistently uses his first name rather than surname--see WP:SURNAME. This is a PoV issue.
* Pete's public meetings ethics violation in 2011 should be summarized.

replies: text: Currently there is no young adult stub, and most young adult books on wikipedia are categorised as children's for the purpose of stubs and categories.  The in-the-process-of-forming children's lit WikiProject has this on the table for whether it's a good or bad idea to distinguish between the two, but for now, the Child-lit and Child-book stubs are the best way to make sure people looking at the appropriate stub pools will see the book.

A note regarding your edits to Smooth Noodle Maps and Press to Play:  It is very difficult to quantify fans' opinions of an album, and therefore that is not something that can generally be included in a encyclopedia entry such as the Wikipedia format.

Otherwise, it remains too subjective a note for the format.  Thanks.--Bawtyshouse 01:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Washington State Capitol

message: I believe that the third paragraph, second sentence of the History section of this article requires a citation.  The sentence states "Wilder and White's designs were influenced by the Olmsted brothers who served as consultants from 1911 to 1912 and designed and supervised the landscaping for the campus from 1927 to 1931" (emphasis added).  I do not know what published source supports this conclusion.  In addition, the general source cited in this article by Norman Johnston makes clear from original documents that Wilder and White clearly rejected the Olmsted firm's recommendations about orientation and placement of the buildings on the campus.  The majority of the design and construction work was done without the Omsted firm being involved at all.  The layout and design of the buildings and grounds followed Wilder and White's original plan.  The Olmsted firm only became re-engaged on the project after construction of the current capitol group of buildings was complete in 1927 and then only to design the landscape.  Even then Wilder and White objected to several of Olmsted's recommendations such as the orientation of entrances from the east side of the campus. Johnosaunders (talk) 23:31, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Kristen Maloney

message: The word "quadrennium" has been removed from this article several times; I am putting it back.  
I believe that this word belongs in this article. In gymnastics, as in other sports, it is a very specific term that refers to the four year period between Olympics. "Quadrennium" not only implies a specific duration of time, but also all of the politics, events and changes to the Code of Points therein. 
The only known objection to the use of "quadrennium" is that it is a four syllable word and that perhaps the same idea could be expressed with a simpler term. As I have explained above, this is not the case. In addition, I do not feel that it is unreasonable to use a sports-specific term in an article about an athlete. I also feel that editors should not be forced to use the simplest possible vocabulary at all times.
... comment added at 07:59, 17 February 2006 by Mademoiselle Sabina
#Please sign your messages here and on user Talk pages.
#The objection isn't merely that the word is long; it's that its meaning (in so far as it means something more than just "four year period") will be obscure to most readers. If that meaning is important, then it should be explained.  I've said this already on your Talk page, but you delete my messages (despite advice from me and another editor that that's bad manners at best). --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 09:56, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Revelator

message: the term revelator is used in the book of mormon.  These were humans that specifically were given the gift of revelation reception from God.  The term is often joined with the terms seer, and prophet, as in Prophet, Seer, and Revelators.  The twelve apostles are called prophets, seers, and revelators, as they have the ability to 1)prophets reveal god's will, 2)revelators have the ability to receive information from God, 3) Seers have all of the same abilities as prophets and revelators, with the distinct ability to see things that others cannot ie, future, past, other happenings.  This is an extremely vaild term mentioned several times in conjucntion with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint Doctrine.  I am confident someone will update it, whether they are of this church or not.  jVirus  08:03, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Millions of dollars are lost every year, but the Nigerian Government does make an effort to recover the funds, and in fact do every year.
:Interesting. Any references to websites with more info on the early history?
