Talk:Immigration to Palestine and Israel

message: Goodoldpolonius2: Thought the anon had a bit of a point in one of his edits, the other being worthless. I think the comment that Jewish nationalism was not a cause (sometimes even a proximate cause) of Arab riots a bit odd.  If the one hadn't existed the other probably wouldn't have happened - and I don't think I am saying anything which is not accepted by practically all sources.  The violence, even terrorist violence was not one-sided - viz the market bombings of the late 30s. One could go on, but making this short paragraph into an ideally balanced history of the period, rather than concentrating on the topic of immigration, is impossible and undesirable, and I think more bland and  neutral language, even if it might not strike the perfect balance of rights and wrongs is a good idea when these are not the main topic.--John Z 05:55, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: John Z - I actually agree with you on this, and if my changes did not reflect this I think I was reacting more strongly to the anon's edits, and preserving the sense of the text already there, rather than trying to reflect a POV. I think the balance you put in makes perfect sense, especially with regard to the late 30s, when nationalism was high on both sides and the Irgun was bombing civilian targets.  I have more doubts about the mutuality of the 1920s riots, especially the early 20s, but I think your edits reflect that. --Goodoldpolonius2 06:05, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  5th Aliyah 

message: Why there is no mention of arab immagration to Palestine?
Here is two arctiles to start with.
http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2139
http://www.meforum.org/article/522
If could someone write a paragraph that would be nice.
:As the article is written right now, the title should be changed to "Jewish Immigration to Palestine and Israel Since the Rise of Zionism" or something of the sort, as indicated by the introduction. It does not include non-Jewish immigration and it does not include immigration in ancient times (Exodus?).
:Jewish immigration may warrant an article of its own, though it may be desirable to change the article to include non-Jewish immigration as well.
:At any rate, the references suggested by the anonymous above are certainly not going to be the basis for a section on non-Jewish immigration - they're on a highly controversial theory that is backed by speculation rather than data, and may well be politically motivated. While this opinion may be worth mentioning (if the article is to include non-Jewish immigration), the official British Mandatory statistics on non-Jewish immigration and estimates of illegal non-Jewish immigration state them as rather low.--Doron 19:38, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Vocal music

message: The entire content of this page beyond the lead and list of genres resulted as a merge from the page Voice instrumental music which essentially consisted of original research since such a category does not exist to the best of my knowledge. The article attempted to describe the use of voice as an instrument. This is paradoxical since the voice by its very nature is an instrument. Much of the material consisted of examples of vocal music without lyrics and many of the more salient examples have been retained in the present article, although as a survey article, perhaps even more should be deleted.
The article as it stands is still without any content as to the history and evolution of vocal music. Granted, it's an extremely broad topic. Any help would be appreciated. MarkBuckles 05:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Difference with singing 

message: I don't how see it can possibly be claimed that this, as it is explained right now in the article, is a "genre". Almost all actual genres of music encompass at least some form of vocal music. The only source listed for the idea that this is a genre comes from AllMusic, but that website defines the "vocal" genre as being exactly the same thing as what Wikipedia currently calls Traditional pop music. It doesn't support the definition used in this article. I'm going to take it out as a source that actually says something radically different from the bulk of the sentence it supposedly "proves".

message: Adj. form Florian per Cassell's dict., (flor'-ee-un), from Flōrius. kwami 05:25, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)

thread_title: Comment

message: The (Nesvorny 2002) reference claims that Flora constitutes about 85% of the mass of the family. However, using the IRAS diameters (which are just about the only relevant data), and assuming a constant density across the family, I get only 81%. If you further estimate the diameters of non-IRAS bodies by assuming the same albedo as Flora (0.243), Flora is about 77% of the mass. Since this is pretty rough anyhow, i've made it 80% in the article Deuar 14:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:22 Kalliope

message: Out of the two mass estimates using Linus, I have changed the quoted value to 6.5 ± 0.5  kg given by Marchis et al, rather than the previous 7.36  found by Margot and Brown. Reasons: 
# It uses a larger and longer data set
# It gives an error estimate (Not having an error estimate in a journal publication often indicates data are very preliminary)
# It is a later publication.

thread_title:  Frybread 

message: Request received to merge articles: Bannock (Indigenous American) into Frybread; dated: Nov/2021. Proposer's Rationale: {I've split off an article, Bannock (Indigenous American) from the more Scottish Bannock (food). Looking at the content of the new page, however, there is a clear overlap with Frybread. I know that this will be a contentious topic, but it seems to me that there is no clear distinction, though of course there are varying recipes and nomenclature.  In particular, bannock seems more popular as a name in Canada, and frybread in the United States. To avoid unnecessary duplication, I therefore suggest merging the two articles to a new article, Frybread and Bannock, with both the existing pages being redirects.  Thoughts?}. Discuss here.

message: i added this extra wording: "given the center of this imaginary clock, is the ground, the viewer stands upon". the reason i did so, was necessary. ether way, the viewer watches the apparent motion of the sun as a clockhand. previous to my edit, there's a problem. here's how it looked before: "to take a course opposite the apparent motion of the sun viewed from the Arctic Circle." if one were to read the sentence as it was, the Artic viewer would probably use the sky above him or her as the center of the imaginary clock. this would create the wrong direction, according to the definition. the center of the imaginary clock is key.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank.manus (talk • contribs) 16:22, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Smith's Hill High School

message: A concern was raised with regards to speedy deletion of articles, and their impact and influence on the indigenous community was raised. Wikipedia does not discriminate against any culture, whether indigenous or otherwise, and the only reason speedy deletion was considered for this article was for the lack of useful content.
The reason for indigenous issues surrounding this article in thr first place is very unclear, since the school has had neither a strong indigenous influence, not any disputes with indigenous peopl claiming to be custodians of the land. In some ways, this could be seen as a political argument raised "for the sake of it".
In any case, the article now has enough content to not only be expanded upon, but also to stand as it is, as a legitimate Wikipedia article, with no offenseive content towards any ethnic group.
