Talk:Derrell Johnson-Koulianos

message: I am wondering about the notability of Derrell Johnson-Koulianos for WP. Has it ever been considered?  While he entered college as an athlete of great potential, he never accomplished any more than thousands of other college athletes and does not appear to have achieved notability later when he played pro football.  The cited references in the article appear to mostly be local Iowa newspapers.Grandpa jlc (talk) 02:48, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Paul Palmieri (Bickertonite)

message: An editor has posted a "notability" tag at the top of the article. I think the article could use expansion from further sources, such as on the subject's leadership and teachings, but as the top leader of a 15,000-member religion with a long history, the subject clearly meets the notability requirement. - Reaverdrop (talk/nl) 02:36, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought so (that he would clearly be notable) when I created the article. But as you suggest, the tag probably is legitimately there right now in that the major source used was the church's own publication. I'm sure there are some other sources out there to be found, though. Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 03:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

message: There is currently no wikipedia article explaining the usage of "apostle" in the context of this particular organization.  It is bad form to link this to a disambiguation page, which is what apostle does.  Since my previous correction, which linked to Apostle (Mormonism) was reverted, apparently that is not the most correct link either (I can understand that).  It's possible this link is not needed, since it is followed closely by the link to the Quorum, but I have left it in place, linked to the wiktionary definition.

message: This article is horribly written and developed and is missing major information on the film's production and reception. The majority of the article consists of a plot summary and needs more information added to the article more balanced coverage. The reception section is also way too short and should include reviews from notable critics. There is also no information on the film's production which needs to be added to the article as well. all of these changes and additions need to occur in order for this article to meet Wikipiedia's standards of a well developed article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 01:11, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree this template is probably too large, but this should not stop updates. Concerning overdivision / overload / mismatch of topics. "Reproduction • Evolution • Ecology" is a mismatch of topics which is solved by division. I know of no enthusiast that considers a "Succulent plant" as a "Habit". "Corm", "Stolon", and "Tuber" should have the same status as "Bulb" and "Rhizome". I think capitalizing "cultivar", "cultigen" and "grex" are good copy edits. I just added "Monocots" and "Eudicots", certainly more appropriate than "Grasses". I have never created a template but it is easier to destroy than create.User-duck (talk) 23:49, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  We already have a separate template for plant classsification, so the subgroups need not be listed here. I removed Grasses as well. Rhizoids are not a subtopic of roots. Leaves and shoots are not part of stems, but rather the leaves and stems are parts of the shoot system, so those were bad copy edits.

It is not appropriate in this template in the articles on style guides; in this template it violates Wikipedia's own policy not to refer to itself as a published source.

message: This template automatically adds a category "Style guides". However, some of these guides belong in the category "Academic style guides", which is a subcategory of "Style Guides". So those articles get categorized in one cat and the higher level cat of that one, which is undesirable. However, without removing the template, this cannot be solved.

I believe it's inclusion would improve the quality of this template and the discussion of style guides as a whole.

Talk:Palagi

message: Neither Pakeha nor Palagi are particularly comparable to nigger, and Pakeha is even less so. (What a load of bullshit... Palanga? why not say White man? like you have done so already? Pakeha? meant to say "Little White Pig" reason maori have referred to white people as "Little pig" Back in 1980, the common idea amongst Islander people was to "BREED THEM OUT" now most of them are dying.)
Nigger has a long history and context of being used in a particularly negative way, and is rarely used as a primary self-identification by anyone.
With  Pakeha, a large number of NZ-born europeans identify primarily as Pakeha, making it a largely self-defined term. It is one that has been willingly used by NZ Europeans (especially ones with Maori language fluency), since early settlement. That should show that it is not historically or currently a negative term.
If you take a look at the logs of the pakeha wikipedia page, the current 'debate' appears mostly fuelled by a few sockpuppet accounts of, by their/his own definition, white racist/s.
:P
 
Palagi is less commonly within NZ as a self-defined term by europeans, and therefore a larger percentage of the usage is by people intending to be nasty - just because any term used about a group that is not by that group (ie a self-defined term), tends to take on more negative connotations.
The term still doesn't have much historical negative usage, so, at most, it would be a very minor racial epithet.
I can't comment on it's usage within Samoa, and whether it is used as a self-defined term there.
I would suggest that that section be removed, or replaced with 'minor racial epithet'
Cheers.
- A. Nonymous, Wellington, NZ
:I've removed the claims about the term being a racial slur, as they are unsourced (and I don't think they can be supported).  I've changed "sometimes" used in mainstream media to "often" because while this is sourced, it underestimates the wide acceptance the term seems to have in contemporary NZ, at least in areas of greater Pacific populations (Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch etc).--Januarian (talk) 11:46, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
