Talk:Sneferu

message: I modified the language of the article from crackpot to controversial. Why? There is a tendency for the 'academic' world to dismiss the stories of Egypt from the Bible. And there is a similar tendency for Biblical scholars to dismiss the academic world. In the interests of keeping this article neutral and balanced, I modified the language to be less inflammatory. --Paulrach 09:09, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Wayang kulit (Javanese: ꦮꦪꦁ​ꦏꦸꦭꦶꦠ꧀) is a traditional form of puppet-shadow play originally found in the cultures of Java and Bali in Indonesia. In a wayang kulit performance, the puppet figures are rear-projected on a taut linen screen with a coconut-oil (or electric) light. The dalang (shadow artist) manipulates carved leather figures between the lamp and the screen to bring the shadows to life. The narratives of wayang kulit often have to do with the major theme of good vs. evil. 2404:3C00:CD4F:C100:519A:8FB:B1DA:F75F (talk) 13:08, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Competitive local exchange carrier

message: I removed the external links and added a link to the FCC's CLEC search. There are over a thousand CLECs in the country, and we can't link to all of them. Afiler 01:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: External Links

message: This article is a bit difficult to read without greater context/background.  For example, the sentance "Many CLECs operate using the unbundled network element platform (UNE-P), in which they lease the underlying copper and port space on the local switch," might be particularly painful for a layperson.  As a network engineer, I understand terms like underlying copper, port space and local switch, but I suspect the average person would not.   I added information about DLECs, but there are also ELECs.  ELECs are a bit unusual and really fit both here and in the LEC article.   Now I'm wondering if perhaps this should be merged back into the LEC article with appropriate sections for each type of LEC (LEC, CLEC, DLEC, ELEC, others?) and an additional section for contrast/comparison of the different types.  Thoughts?? ++ Arx Fortis 06:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless, for example, "local exchange carrier" is a term used outside of US telecommunications and CLEC isn't, I'd say merge them. The LEC article needs work anyway (not acknowledging CLECs except as a See Also, for example), and I think merging would help reduce duplication of effort. Merging might also make this page less of a spam magnet. Two other pages look related to the more general LEC page: telephone company and interexchange carrier. Both of those could use lots of work too. Afiler 19:05, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

this page used to present Soka University as one of the top universities in Japan, according to a 2014 rankings.

message: Pioneer Chicken had a great series of ads where they brought much attention to the fact that KFC divided a single chicken into nine pieces, including two side breasts, and one "center breast".  The slogan/theme of the ad was the phrase, "Chickens don't have three breasts, do they?"  This ad prompted KFC to end that practice in southern California, with an ad campaign of their own claiming that their (KFC's) breasts were now 50% bigger than before, which of course just brought them up to equal with where Pioneer had always been.

:Indeed. :-) I have long been a fan of 'The Big Fella' myself - I tried very hard to write this article in a neutral point of view, e.g. pointing out how welfare cheques bounced and the chaos caused by Lang's stubbornness, and how his actions were clearly un-Constitutional. Nonetheless, I hope that my admiration for Jack Lang doesn't come across too strongly in the article. --Humehwy 23:29, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

There is controversy about the Constitutionality of it, especially considering the undefined nature of the Governor's "reserve powers" that were used (e.g. in Frank Cain's Jack Lang and the Great Depression).
