Talk:List of law enforcement agencies in Canada

message: Two separate questions regarding the relevance and inclusion of specific types of agencies:
First, should fictional LEAs continue to be listed on this page?  This section is currently entirely uncited and is unusual when compared to other jurisdiction's lists of law enforcement agencies.  I can appreciate the interest in listing them, but perhaps they should be listed on a separate page.
Second, do correctional services count as law enforcement agencies?  Although they're undeniably involved in public safety, they aren't generally involved in the enforcement of laws.  By way of a precedent, Law enforcement in Canada includes non-law enforcement public safety agencies in the section on Indigenous law enforcement, so there is definitely an argument to continue to list these organizations even though they aren't strictly law enforcement.

Talk:Mala Zimetbaum

message: According to my knowledge there are only two comprehensive biographies of Mala Zimetbaum, and unfortunately these biographies are not available in English. Her first biographer was Lorenz Sichelschmidt (in 1995), and last year another biography written by Gérard Huber was published in France.
I have not yet read Huber's biography, but I can recommend Sichelschmidt's book.

Edward "Edek" Galinski and a friend had been planning to escape even before Edek fell in love with Mala.
The name of the friend is Wieslaw Kielar (1919-1990). He wrote an important book on Auschwitz which has also been published in English. I don't know, however, whether the English version is still available.

message: Need there be a list of every complaint and investigation into the department's members? If this was done for every police agency's page, there would be no space for facts and information about what makes the department different from others. Recommend this section be either completely deleted, chopped down to a summary, or placed on a separate page similar to New York City Police Department corruption and misconduct. Or perhaps a page could be created for all complaints, investigations, misconduct into police officers in British Columbia, with a section for each - including Delta.

Talk:Hitsville UK

message: I removed the following from the article because it is unreferenced, and in the case of the second example, probably irrelevant:
:Overall, it is notable for being one of the band's most overtly melodic songs, reminiscent of a danceable ballad, in the same spirit as, among other songs, Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher", The Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" and a number of Motown hits from the early 1960s. 
:Notably, the Clash never signed to an indie label but spent their entire career on CBS Records.
If anyone can find a source for the musical comparisons, that would be an interesting addition to the article.  As it is, though, it just appears to be someone's opinion. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 21:22, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the Supremes lift is fairly indisputable. The bass line together with the title was a way for the Clash to draw a direct comparison in lyrics/music between the English indie scene and Motown. The similarity to "Higher and Higher" is pretty obvious, too (and the Clash were big Jackie Wilson fans; they did benefit concerts for him when they played Detroit in '78 or '79). Many have noted the Motown riffs. The song is "a more recognisable attempt at recreating a Sixties soul groove" and "the backing track is strongly reminiscent of the Supremes’ 'You Can’t Hurry Love'".

Talk:Military press

message: AFAIK the military press and standing overhead press are used interchangeably. Since when did the military press require you to take an ultra narrow (feet together) stance? Look at any video of the "military press" on the internet and nowhere will you find anybody with their heels together.
UBERGOD
:That's because they're doing it wrong. A lot of weightlifters now equate the overhead press with the military press. The reasons why it is called "military", for some reason has been lost throughout the years. Military = feet together as if you were standing at attention. Those military presses are nothing more than modified overhead presses. The fact is a lot of showoffs want to lift more and claim they are doing it military style. By the true definition of the military press there is no such thing as a seated military press, but I guess that's the norm. ----Ðysepsion † Speak your mind 07:10, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

one armed pullups were ""estimated"" to be 1 in a 100K feat , but there harder significantly.

Talk:Rob Gretton

message: I can vouch that Rob also ordered and paid for 100 badges from Better Badges for Slaughter & the Dogs. 
Not long after he came back with a complete set of designs for Joy Division. BB went on to make badges for Unknown Pleasures and Closer. It became an issue as to whether these should receive FAC catalog numbers, and after some discussion it was Rob's decision that they fell into the same category as fanzines and other forms of user/outsider-promotion. Rob had a particularly sophisticated, if not unique, understanding of this process and actually operated it as a virtual polemic by the time he got to New Order. Thus, while traditional/formal methods of promotion and publicity were eschewed, fanzines, art-collaborations of all nature, creative merchandisers, even bootlegs, were encouraged. Despite major offers for New Order in 1983, subsequent to the underground success of Blue Monday, he stuck to his guns, such that, when they did eventually sign to Qwest they got an unprecedentedly generous deal.
