replies: text: To be completely clear, Locus is a VERY reliable source of information. it is THE trade journal, or semi-pro-zine, for SF/fantasy literature. As RLetson knows, but is polite enough to not say. Since I am not associated with them, I can. Can you say "library of congress style moveable bookshelves"?

message: Locus Online seems to have started semi-independent of the print magazine per the article, but it appears as though it is now officially run by the greater Locus Magazine staff, according to the former editor-in-chief's bio page.

I propose merging into the greater magazine article where I think it would serve just fine as a subsection. -2pou (talk) 20:52, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Talk:James Pamment

message: From User talk:Samw:
Hi, I see you changed 'references' to 'external links' on James Pamment.  The reason they're usually called 'references' on cricketers is because these give the authoritative pages where all the statistics come from.  Other editors tend to flag these articles as 'unreferenced', even when they clearly are referenced, if this isn't made clear.  They're more references than external links really in my opinion.  Hope this clarifies things.  If I'm wrong, and I probably am, then fair enough. Nick mallory 10:39, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: References are typically referenced in the body of the article whereas external links are not.   See the cricket article itself which contains both a "references" section and an "external links" section. Samw 21:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: *  thank you for contributing to the new article. Judging from your response, I'm not sure you understand what merging is -- please take time to familiarize yourself with WP:MERGE. I like the content in the new article and think that it should stay, but also I'm concerned about the title, which is part of why I nominated it for merging (I don't like the possessive "Somalia's" which I think is unusual). There is also this issue of whether we should take content out of Languages of Somalia and move it into the article that you created, which may be more logical, or the other way around. Please feel free to share your suggested alternative. —cnzx (talk • contribs) 23:50, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

message: What relevance does the opinions of a European traveller from 2 centuries ago have in describing the social attitudes of Somalis today or even then, as he was recounting this experience his years later while he also was traveling through numerous other nations at the same time which could result in him overemphasizeing certain positions he encountered.
Regardless of whether his opinion was accurate for the early 1800s, it still is irrelevant unless this page was about social attitudes during the time, and nowhere else in this page list social attitudes about the other speakers of the languages listed. 92.236.211.53 (talk) 00:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Mike Tyson

message: I think it would be more NPOV to call this category :Category: Americans convicted for rape or something similar. Similar categories should follow suit. Category names like this are asserting truth based upon court convictions, which is not verifiable due to evidence in such trials being private. All that can be verified is that people were convicted, and then people can draw their own conclusions from this based upon their faith in the justice system. Simply making assertive statements based upon court decisions is biased in the belief that there is no such thing as a false conviction, or that a false conviction does not exist until a court discovers it.

thread_title:  So many 

message: Why is he included in this category?  He wasn’t convicted of rape, nor was he even charged with that.  He was convicted of kidnapping and murdering his neighbor Danielle van Dam, and it was suspected that sex was the motive for the kidnapping, but there are alternative theories, and there was no evidence that she was raped, and you can’t state categorically that he raped her based on mere suspicion.  Admittedly, the condition of her body - from decomposition and animal feeding - would have destroyed evidence of rape, but it wouldn’t necessarily have destroyed all such evidence.  The forensic people tested her body, the leaves around her body, and Westerfield’s clothing and bedding, for sperm and semen, and all their tests were negative; and only a minute quantity of her blood was reported in his environment (one drop and one small faint stain, neither of which was in his house or on his bedding).  So, even though they tried, they could find no evidence of an assault, let alone rape.

Talk:Purmerend

message: Because I am going to Amsterdam in  July 2012 I decided to look up a few of the places that I visited in 1997. I was so pleased that I had stayed for several nights in Purmerend and visited the Cattle Markets on Tuesday o f that week when I saw that these markets have since been relocated. I feel priveleged that I was part of it all back then.
It was an incredible experience seeing all the livestock being sold in the town square early that morning, in July 1997. We were entranced by the dealings between the owners, agents and buyers in the coffee shops. We were  amazed at the sight of some very huge beasts tied up in the square, the sounds and the smells that went along with it all.
Very  timidly we came back late that evening for our dinner booking at one of the restaurants in the square, thinking the worst re smells, etc. It was absolutely amazing! Gone were all the smells, the pavers and roads had been hosed and scrubbed to a state that left many of our home streets lacking.
So next year, in 2013, when I return to Amsterdam I will make a bus trip to Purmerend to have lunch, walk to the Hotel we stayed in and soak up the atmosphere of that lovely village.
When we went to a Seafood Restaurant in Amsterdam on another evening our food waiter was a young woman from Permerend. When she learnt that we were staying for five days in Purmerend we were treated like royalty. the same happened with the staff at the Hotel in Purmerend. We were so glad that we stayed there rather than in the city.
Very happy memories of a lovely town and wonderful people.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pcrsut (talk • contribs) 13:44, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Kōsaku Matsumora

message: Surely it is not a proper subject of discussion is the story of Nagamine Shoshin about the fight versus a samurai of Matsumora sounds "quite right" or it does not. If you are going to post it on the Internet, then post it without your comments. It is very insulting to post a guess about how this accident actually happened and to spread unconfirmed information about urinating on a towel. In this way you are dishonoring the name of a Karate master! It is also very insulting to speak about that "nobody in his right mind would habitually carry a wet towel wrapped around his body", because you are obviously not knowing Matsumora, you are not a witness of the accident and you don't really know how it happened. So if you are going to keep this story on the site, keep it the way Nagamine Shoshin tells it without any comments. I will continue to delete every sort of this!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by YordanMiladinov (talk • contribs) 21:21, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
