message: :I have removed the following statement from the article:  "Coffin is the great-grandfather of actor, Samuel Lewis."  I have not been able to verify this.  Do you have a citation to a WP:Reliable source to WP:VERIFY this?  -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, Mr. Lewis.  Thanks for writing.  I will leave some helpful links for newcomers on your user page.  With respect to this article, please read Wikipedia's policy on verifying factual assertions.  Also see Wikipedia:About.  Coffin's will, by itself, may be of interest and may show facts that will be of interest in this article.  With respect to Samuel Lewis, I doubt that a scan of the Will and the bible page will give us enough verified information to tie all this together.  Moreover, I don't think that, even if you can prove that he is the great-grandson of Coffin, that we should mention Samuel Lewis  in this article, as he does not appear to meet the requirements of this guideline: WP:ENT.

Talk:The Female Eunuch

message: Owen, I think you know very well that, after having been reverted, you should not immediately make the same edit again, per WP:BRD. I understand why you think the passage discussing LeVay's criticism of Greer's book needs to be rewritten, but the wording you introduced ("Neuroscientist Simon LeVay has disputed Greer's claim that there are no differences between the brains of men and women with citations to subsequent scientific research") is confusing and reads poorly. I suggest that something like, "Neuroscientist Simon LeVay has argued that subsequent scientific research contradicts Greer's claim that there are no differences between the brains of men and women", would be better.

thread_title: Comments

message: The very first link explicitly states There are no “true” “male” and “female” brains out there to discover, and yet the reverting author insists that the original author of this edit does not understand the source material and is synthesising facts that are not explicitly stated in the source. They also provided a few more pages, perhaps a little overkill but they repeat the same point fairly precisely. Can I am One of Many please elaborate on the reason for their revert? 116.212.253.43 (talk) 04:27, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: As I see it, you are using primary sources and interpreting them.  Also, while I agree that within the population of humans, there are probably no brain structures that are strictly male or female, it's not just nurture but a complex ontogenetic interplay between nature and nurture.  We can also wait and see what others have to say. --I am One of Many (talk) 04:32, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:C. Wade McClusky

message: After reading about McClusky's vital role in the battle of Midway - and probably shortening World War II by many months (to be conservative) and saving a lot of lives that would have been lost in further battles over Midway - I was surprised to see nothing is written here about any sort of decoration, medal, or something giving to him.
So I searched on the internet, and in  I found this long list of decorations he got. (wiki links below are mine)
:For outstanding service while attached to USS ENTERPRISE, participating in raids on Marshall, Wake, Gilbert and Marcus islands and the Battle of Midway, he was awarded the Air Medal, the Distinguised Flying Cross, a letter of Commendation with Ribbon, a Ribbon and facsimile of the Presidential Unit Citation to ENTERPRISE, the Purple Heart Medal and the Navy Cross.
I don't think we can completely neglect this issue in this article:

thread_title:  Decoration? 

message: Near the end of the article is the line, "McClusky, through his intelligence, courage, and skill, had thus made a vital contribution to the outcome of this pivotal battle." I don't doubt that this statement is true, but it isn't encyclopedic information.  If it is part of a quote that can be attributed to an authority figure, then it should be included as such in the article, complete with reference(s), but as it is currently, it sounds like Wikipedia is praising McClusky. I guess I'll look into it and see what the existing references have to say, but my concern is that it may come down to removing that sentence and a bit of the next, cutting it to, "For his actions, McClusky was awarded the Navy Cross," and I'm posting this as a preemptive measure to avoid making anyone mad about this.  I have tried to find in the Manual of Style a guide to this problem, and so far I haven't, so if anyone reading this knows where I can find a guide for Wikipedia's policy on statements of opinion, I would appreciate the help.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cellodont (talk • contribs) 20:36, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I have looked at the references, there are three.  The first is a record of McClusky's account of the battle, the second is an informative 2016 article from the Buffalo News, and the third is a blurb from Variety about an actor joining the cast of a film about the battle.  In none of them is there a quote as I described above, so I can only conclude that the content in question is indeed a statement of opinion that amounts to praise of McClusky, which is certainly merited elsewhere, but Wikipedia doesn't praise people, it reports facts.  I am editing the article, therefore, and if anyone is offended, I apologize.Cellodont (talk) 20:57, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:KHFX

message: Per the WP:Disambig page, "If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary." Since the radio station call letters are the primary identification and the ICAO code reference to an airport is a secondary identification, a hat note is sufficient and requires no more steps than would a disambiguation page for people seeking the airport. It's not about which subject is more famous, just that the radio station is primarily identified by this name while the airport is primarily identified by its full name with the ICAO code only a secondary reference to that airport. - Dravecky (talk) 00:43, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

message: KNIT-AM has never been owned by Disney. The referenced citation at Radio-Online has been taken down.
For its recent history per the FCC records - In 2003, the station was owned by Univision, then sold to Salem Communications (then known as KHCK). In February 3, 2006 the station sale to JCE Licenses was completed and the call sign changed to KNIT. JCE stands for James Crystal, which is 100% owned by JAMES C. HILLIARD of Fort Lauderdale.

Template talk:Achaemenid Provinces

message: Hi, this is pertaining to the recent changes in which the provinces where put in alphabetical order (as done with the Roman Empire provinces template), there is basic reasons for doing so. Firstly, if we were to list every province in the Achaemenid Empire it would amount to nearly 500 provinces. Secondly, there were about 31 satrapies at its greatest extent, 100's of minor satrapies, more kinglets, and others were ruled by local kings who acknowledged Achaemenid rule. So we can't list every province, there we would run into to much distinctions and problems that would arise. Therefore, as said on the Satrapies page of Livius.org and p. 173 of Pierre Briant's From Cyrus to Alexander book, I suggest we state them in the way and only the ones stated on the inscriptions. In the book mentioned, the author lists every Achaemenid inscription that pertains to satrapies, some have 23 from one time, others have 31 satrapies from another time (meaning in about a 20 year interval), the list on Wikipedia has all (actually some areas in the inscriptions state Saka h. Saka t., so this list has to improved later), if combined would amount to 34 (meaning if we only count 1 form of Saka). We could make sub sections to be clearer on in what inscription a certain place appears or not appears, but as of now this template is complete. However, anyone is welcome to improve some areas that have to expanded upon, regards.--24.23.160.233 (talk) 10:07, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Several things don't add up in the description of the subject's Vietnam service. In fact, this paragraph is nonsensical.
1) The Air Force did not have to draft anyone during the Vietnam War; it had a waiting list of volunteers eager to avoid infantry duty.
2) One cannot be in the Air Force and be an Army Green Beret at the same time.
3) The Green Berets did not accept draftees, because Special Forces training was too long for a draftee's two year term of service.
The reason I know all this is because I was a professional soldier in the Air Force version of the Green Berets (56th Special Operations Wing) in the Vietnam War. We worked with the Green Berets on some missions.
