Talk:Merger (politics)

message: Is the following paragraph really relevant to the political definition of amalgamation?
"Amalgamation may also be used to describe the combination of several actual cities into one within works of fiction, often evidenced by the sight of several landmarks that in real life wouldn't be found in the same city. This is usually seen in films shot in several cities, generally with the purpose of not locating the fictional city in which the action takes place as an existing locaiton(sic)."
Propose that this be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.173.208.215 (talk) 15:22, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. This paragraph not only demonstrates what the political process of amalgamation entails; it demonstrates how an ad-hoc, "unofficial" form of combination can happen when different cities - political units - are combined for dramatic effect. --Edwin Herdman 04:01, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The processes are similar, but notably distinct. Amalgamation is a term used in political science to denote the combination of two areas into one within the same legal system; Annexation has one area swallowing up another, usually sovereign. --Edwin Herdman 03:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

message: We have a landfill around here covered by grass that is officially known as Mt. Trashmore, very popular spot in the wintertime for sledding, boy scouts usually take a trip up to the top every year, the Sears Tower is allegedly visible from the peak (it's located in Aurora, IL I believe). is it worth mentioning in the article or no?

Talk:Surf film

message: *Sean Penn as stoned surfer Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Jeff Spicoli is the stereotypical teenage surfer of the eighties, complete with surf talk and imaginary tubes, ridden beneath overhanging ivy. The ambitious, conscientious, hard-working Brad Hamilton provides a foil for Jeff Spicoli, who believes in “operating from the heart” and that “what you need will come to you.” By contrasting Jeff Spicoli's carefree approach to life with Brad Hamilton's disciplined work ethic, the film exposes the dialectic in western culture.Culture Jock University of Chicago Magazine, December '05, Volume 98, Issue 2.

Talk:The Company (Littell novel)

message: For some reason, this article is the target of a redirect from the title "Starik." In other words, when a user searches Wikipedia for the word "Starik," this article appears. Unfortunately, this article doesn't explain why such a redirect would be appropriate (apparently, someone thought that the character named "Starik" in this book "The Company" made the redirect appropriate).
I'd suggest an alternative redirect: to the Wikipedia article titled Starets. The Slavic words "starik" and "starets" are related, apparently with overlapping meanings of "old man," "elder," etc.

message: Are DPT's able to prescribe medication? I have heard that DPT's are able to prescribe if they are military and also that some states, but not all, allow certain meds but not all to be prescribed by DPT's and in other states DPT's are unable to prescribe any medication, not even reccomend over-the-counter meds.
Thanks.
DPT's have no different rights that any other practicing PT.  In the military PT's are allowed to prescribe certain medications and order diagnostic imaging...much in the same rights of a Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner.  Military allows PTs to be considered Physician Extenders.  This does not translate to the civilian world.  In most states there are laws allowing PT's to have direct access to patients; most of these however are limited by commercial insurance and Medicare.  The allowance of prescribing OTC medication is debatable and is dependent on that particular state practice act.  StonerDPT 01:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Black Alice freely helping Oracle and was on the cusp of clearing Misfit's name for the slum-leveling before Misfit barged in and pushed (figuratively and literally) the mentally ill girl?

Page name should be retitled as "Rosh Pina."
izaakb   ~talk ~contribs 14:05, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hillarious or not, the spelling Rosh Pinna is very common in good English sources.  For example, that is how it is spelt on maps of the Survey of Palestine and on the official lists of village units in the Palestine Gazette. In the 1931 census it was written like this: Rosh Pinná. It is also written as Rosh Pinna in the Israeli Yearbook of 1952 (Settlement list on page III). In tons of history books old and new, too. Mind you, the spelling Rosh Pina occurs in lots of places as well, and seems to predominate in the English editions of modern Israeli newspapers.

message: This article was in terrible shape, with things repeated multiple times, internal contradictions, etc etc.  I have fixed it a bit, but it is still in need of attention. I'll mention here a few things:
* There was an account that three families of "Gei Oni" remained until the Romanians arrived. It may be true, but the source was the now-dead website of a hotel (or maybe an estate agent) advertising "luxurious suites". There is no way such a source is acceptable. A strong source is needed before this can return, as both Avneri (who gives a detailed account) and Encyclopedia Judaica say that Gei Oni was abandoned.
* There is a paragraph on "Moshe David Shub" but no indication of who he was and why he is here.  I left it, but it's going to be deleted unless a justification is forthcoming.
* The patronage of Rothschild is in both Avneri and Encyc Judaica, but the "first" in that sentence is what is missing.
* Lots of mandate-era and Israeli-era history is missing.
