Talk:Defection

message: The long list of defecting pilots appears to be almost identical to a different article.  I am thus deleting the list of pilots from this article.  Others can decide if the other article with the list of Cold War pilots needs to be retained. Vidor 07:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  untitled 

message: The definition of "defector" seems too broad.  While there is a citizenship component, the most important fact in a defection is that the defector's country of origin and the host country are engaged in some form of political opposition (e.g. the Cold War).  A person who gives up Indonesian citizenship to become an Australian citizen is not called a "defector", but a person who gives up North Korean citizenship to become an American citizen is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leask81 (talk • contribs) 05:49, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:A Kind of Loving (film)

message: 1. Rather than specifically Manchester, isn’t the film set in a fictional Lancashire town?
2. Isn’t one powerful factor in the mutual antipathy of Mrs Rothwell and Vic that of class, she being lower middle class and despising his respectable working class roots?
3. Isn’t another crucial area of contention between both Mrs Rothwell and Ingrid on the one hand and Vic on the other that of culture, they both being ignorant and addicted to vacuous TV quiz shows while his family go to concerts and love the music of Verdi?

Talk:Kazuo Misaki

message: Actually, I have respected Misaki's ability as an MMA fighter. However, at Yarennoka, his actions were definitely imbecile. Though Akiyama's past fault against Sakuraba (using Olay lotion before the match making Sakuraba feel slippery) was absolutely his fault, Misaki did not deserve giving a speech to the fighter who broke his nose due to the controversial soccer kick from Misaki, though, showing respect to Misaki just after the match. Moreover, after giving the speech (the main point of the speech was that Akiyama's action against Saku was terribly awful to children and fans and that Akiyama should regret his fault whenever he comes to ring.)Moreover, after his long and dull speech he said "Judo, Saigo! (Judo is the best!)" and "Japanese are strong!". Maybe, it could be just the quote, however, considering that the former is originally Akiyama's favorite quote and that Akiyama is Korean-Japanese, Misaki's intention to say those phrases is to ridicule Akiyama. Clearly, Misaki's behaviors were the shameful unprofessionalism that should not be shown.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.47.88.2 (talk) 05:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

It is certainly translated as such (see for instance here, here, here, and here). As for the "social category of men", I have never encountered any mention of such a group in my life.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I do not believe "crooked fairy hills" is the correct translation of "Campsie Fells". There is no evidence to believe the hills have anything to do with fairies but I guess the hills may have been named long ago. I have recently found that the name may have something to do with a strath so the name may go something like "hills with the strath below" or something like that. Of course I have no evidence of this but if any Gaelic speakers or Scots speakers are able to see where I'm coming from please speak up as this current name is annoying me and there is a high chance this is creating a totally warped perception of the Campsies.
Thank you very much JohnSmith678 (talk) 11:12, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that 'fairy' seems a bit implausible. Ancestry.com gives it as 'place on the bend', using 'camas' for bend (same origin as 'crooked', presumably) with a simple name-forming 'a' suffix, which seems more likely than 'sidh' for fairy. In Rambles Round Glasgow (1856) Hugh MacDonald records two different etymologies, 'crooked strath' and 'church in the bosom of a hill'. I think the reference to fairies should be removed.

Talk:Ben Alder

message: In this edit,  states that the introductory paragraph has been copied from Munro-Madness.com, and it is true that the introductory paragraph is identical to the description there.  However, this most certainly does not mean that the paragraph was copied from it.  Although there have been various improvements made since I originally wrote it, the paragraph is still quite recognisable as being derived from the stub article that I created in May 2006 (a few days after returning from a trip there).  I can state categorically that stub was not copied from Munro-Madness.com — indeed, until today, I don't believe I had heard of the site.  As there have been no wholesale rewrites of that paragraph, I can't see how any later editor could have plagiarised it from there.
Equally, it cannot possibly be coincidence that Wikipedia's article and MunroMagic.com's are the same.  Therefore, I can only conclude that copying has indeed taken place, but not in the direction alleged by that anonymous IP address.  I have therefore removed the allegation from the article (it shouldn't have been made there in the first place).  Furthermore, MunroMagic.com is infringing Wikipedia's editors' copyright by reproducing this article's content apparently without conforming to the terms of Wikipedia's licence.  This is a serious issue, and one I propose to investigate further to see whether it is an isolated example.  — ras52 (talk) 21:55, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Further proof, if any is needed, comes from the fact that the domain munro-magic.com wasn't even registered until 20 Dec 2007, a year and a half after I created initial stub.  I also note that the introductions for Ben Nevis, Càrn Mòr Dearg and Ben Macdui have been copied too; although interestingly, the site's author is clearly capable of writing suitable text as Beinn Bheoil does not have an article here but does have one there.  Anyway, as far as I'm concerned this is ample evidence that Munro-Magic.com is using Wikipedia content in non-compliance with the GFDL.  — ras52 (talk) 22:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
