Talk:Circumcision/Archive 4

message: Editing of Introduction
Reference to ridged band and speculative "sensitivity" deleted to maintain neutrality. It is not acceptable to focus only on male circumcision as this indicates that circumcision is only mentioned so as to criticise the male practice. For the rest editing serves to balance the introduction between male and female circumcision. The subheadings are in need of review and extensive editing and rewriting.

 References removed to review
The references were such that would be more inplace on an anti-male circumcision web site. They have been removed with the intent to compile relevant references once the whole article has been reviewed.

 External links weeded down ...
Starx wrote: External links weeded down to 7 on each side, though I think that's still too much.
This article is called "circumcision", no? The article should be about male and female circumcision and not a platform for the debate around male circumcision, yes? In an article about the earth would you insist that the "flat earth society" got the right to an equal number of external links? Why?
I suggest that when the entire article is rewritten and restructured and this particular aspect reviewed in detail later on in the process a selection of references and external links can be made. There is little point in keeping any of the references or external links as they now stand.
Robert Brookes
 *Obviously a complete article on circumcision is going to have to address the debate.  
And your comment about the Flat Earth society is absurd.  The earth is round, this is a scientific fact that is not disputed by anyone with credibility.  The pros and cons of circumcision are disputed by credible people on both sides.  Untill that's resolved to a certainty by the medical community the article, in the spirit of NPOV, should try and represent both sides equally. --Starx 17:18, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: Because most circumcisions are done for religious or cultural reasons, not medical reasons, it is correct to describe non-therapeutic circumcision as a form of permanent body modification.

Talk:Starboard

message: The diagram of ships crossing is misleading.  The give way vessel would more safely turn to starboard to go astern of the stand-on vessel.  Turning to port requires accurate knowledge of the other vessel's course and speed e.g via radar.  This knowledge would not be available from navigation lights alone at night.  Of course the diagram shows the ships in near-collision, normally a change of course would have happened long before.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.63.151.33 (talk) 02:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Wictionary starts the etymology of "starboard" with 
 Derived from the Scandinavian term "steerboard",
 which was hung off the right side of the boat.
The explanation here only refers to "early" ships. A clear 
image or diagram of a longship showing the steerboard might 
make a good memory aid (the verbal mnemonics have never 
sufficed for me)  The best image at longship from a 
tapestry sort of serves this purpose. A suitable
image/diagram with a little explanation at starboard or
longship with a cross-reference might be a good addition.

Perhaps a reference to the charter school and high school would be in order, but I believe referring to the high school as brilliant (a word with little ambiguity, and NO objectivity) and its sports teams as excellent might be a little bit misleading. Perhaps a mention of the recent murder committed by a student at the school would bring some reality to this article. If there are no objections, I will revise it.

Really? I can not think so. Alitalia was never able to use MXP as an hub. It always prefeared to concentrate fligh in Rome FCO.
If you look at its timetable you will find the it is very rare that an Alitalia flight depart from Malpensa (except for a small numebr of big European destinations, and a vere very small long haul destination). For the most part of destinations Alitalia timetable says you have to change in Rome FCO, or take a flight that is operated by one allied airlines and change in Paris or in A,sterdam.

Talk:British North America Acts

message: Technically, the BNA Acts were only renamed in Canada -- see subsection 53(1) of the Constitution Act, 1982.  In the U.K. the ones enacted by the U.K. are still the British North America Acts and properly cited as such.  Not just in the bound annual or sessional statute books which obviously never change.  For example, the BNA Act 1867 should be cited (even in Canada) as either The British North America Act, 1867, 30 & 31 Victoria, c. 3 (U.K.) or either simply as the Constitution Act, 1867 or as the Constitution Act, 1867 with reference to its consolidated reprint at R.S.C. 1985, App. II, No. 11.
