Talk:Fifth Column (band)

message: ShortTony and other users who are interested in other bands named Fifth Column - feel free to create your own pages, it's easy. For instance, if you create a page for the San Francisco Fifth Column band, simply use brackets to differentiate them from the other band, like this: Fifth Column (San Francisco band). Now all you need to do is click on the link to create the page.Intheshadows (talk) 22:17, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Other Fifth Column bands

message: Not the original or sole use of the term. Should be disambiguated. Lee M 20:11, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This page does not link to any other pages because it was recently moved from Fifth Column to Fifth Column (Band). Previously it had over 50 links. I have written to User:LCpl, who is the person who moved this page in an attempt to distinguish between the band and the military manouver (Fifth column), and who can hopefully rectify this matter. The military manouver was already distinguishable by virtue of the 'c' in column not being capitalized, so hopefully the Fifth Column band page will be restored to its former state.

thread_title: POV

message: I won't disagree with anyone who challenges "gun thugs" as POV.
However, replacing gun thugs with "strike breakers" is not a perfect fit, in my view. Gun thugs are indeed strike breakers, but replacement workers who may never pick up a gun are more frequently described as strike breakers. Therefore, the POV term "gun thugs" has a very clear meaning, but using "strike breakers" as a replacement confuses the issue. Richard Myers (talk) 08:24, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Commercial pilot licence

message: I think this page needs some rewriting. First, it does not mention Part 141. Second, I don't think it is necessary to duplicate the FAR, since it is available online and is in theory subject to change. I would add a discussion of the value of the certificate, and the restrictions for Part 91 operations. And there are some grammar fixes.
Then it needs to be harmonized with the Private and Instrument rating descriptions. Also, the Private certificate is described on overlapping ways on the Private Pilot License page and the Aviator page, so that should be tidied up.
I'll leave this a few days to see if anyone comments.

thread_title:  License vs Certificate 

message: See "Licence spelling" above. The article now has a mixture of "c" and "s" - a single spelling would appear preferable. It seems to be sensible that, as the US doesn't call it a license, and most countries that do, use the spelling licence for the noun, "licence" should be used uniformly. The PPL page should also be made consistent. 122.107.58.27 (talk) 07:09, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Category talk:British colonies

message: Does Sri Lanka belong here? The colony was Ceylon—and it seems to inappropriate to list a currently existing independence nation-state as under "British colonies". "Former British colonies", maybe—but that's a whole other category that would not include things like "Basutoland". And non of the others are listed anyway. I am thinking we need a :Category:Commonwealth Countries. Haven't found an existing one.—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 20:35, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
: Well, the problem as you can see is that Ceylon is in fact a redirect to Sri Lanka; were the colonial and pre- and post-colonial histories to be split onto different pages, it would make sense to only have the Category tag for the colonial one, but as things are...

Talk:Squanto

message: I have added a long paragraph to announce the discovery of four original manuscripts regarding Squanto's arrival in Spain. Due to my lack of Wikipedia skills, the source article is shown twice, once in the reference section and one in secondary sources, because I have not found a way to link directly from the body of the article to the secondary sources, where I believe the original article needs to appear, because it contains the location of the primary sources. Which by the way are the only truly primary sources found to date. I would very much appreciate if someone could teach me how to avoid this lack of etiquette.
PS: In case anyone is interested, I am working with Ms. Ruiz on a second English language article explaining the findings in full detail, which I will contribute in due course. AGA2024 (talk) 20:15, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Wes Cooley (politician)

message: It appears that a very lengthy and completely unsourced description of an alleged Stolen Valor violation by Rep. Cooley sat in this article, unchallenged and undisturbed, for six years. This is shameful. WP:BLP requires that any negative information about a living person must be either well-sourced, or immediately removed. I'm not going to do the research. If Rep. Cooley's detractors want this information in his WP biography, they'll do the research and provide reliable sources for every sentence -- and they won't appear as single-use IP accounts to put it back in with a National Enquirer writing style. Furthermore, it won't provide details about other scandals involving Republicans from Oregon such as Bob Packwood (which belong in their respective biographies, and not here).

Talk:Cross of Valour (Australia)

message: On the first occurrence of the last name of the recipient in the text of an encyclopaedic article about an award granted to a person or persons, the relevant post-nominal should be stated. This is even though, obviously, at the time of his or her action, the person had not yet been recognised officially for his or her bravery. An example of this correct use (with my emboldening), taken from the official Australian web page, is:
Between 1940 and 1978, when the last George Cross awarded to an Australian was presented, 14 Crosses were awarded, five of this total going to civilians. This total does not include substitutions of the George Cross for the Albert Medal and the Edward Medal carried out in 1971. An Australian civilian who received the George Cross was Mr Michael Pratt GC. He was a constable in the Victoria Police Force who was not on duty and was not armed, and who was wounded attempting to arrest armed robbers. The Queen approved his award for outstanding bravery, devotion to duty and complete disregard for his safety, in attempting to arrest the robbers. Mr Pratt’s citation was published in a Supplement to The London Gazette of Monday, 3rd July 1978 - PDF 47KB [1,2]

Talk:Beverly Briley

message: Briley's first term was four years, his second five.  This was the result of a special one-time provsion in the Metropolitan Charter to get the Metro elections (mayor and Metropolitan Council) out of the cycle of other elections and put them in " off years"; the second set of terms (1966-1971) was for five years as a result.  This means that, barring futher charter revision, Briley will have served as mayor longer than anyone else can, 13 years.  There is considerable discussion about whether the charter provisions establishing term limits for council members adopted later and limiting them to two consecutive terms apply to mayors as well, it is unknown whether Mayor Purcell will have any interest in challengning this.  This is a good stub; I hope that it leads to something great; Briley defnitely was "notable" and deserving of a page regardless of one's personal opinion of him. Rlquall 22:05, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

They were members of a secret Islamic order originating in the 11th century who believed it was a religious duty to harass and murder their enemies. The most important members of the order were those who actually did the killing. Having been promised paradise in return for dying in action, the killers, it is said, were made to yearn for paradise by being given a life of pleasure that included the use of hashish. From this came the name for the secret order as a whole, an, “hashish users.” After passing through French or Italian, the word came into English and is recorded in 1603 with reference to the Muslim Assassins.

thread_title:  Historical accuracy 

message: Stbalbach's comments are evidently based on superficial research. They are based on incomplete information, by his using the internet as his sole research tool, while assuming it is a reliable tool (whilst it is known not to be so). Moreover, the history webpage of Brexgata University Academy is one of an informational nature, highlighting a work in progress, stretching over several years, and aimed at the general public (e.g. it is, as of yet, not a documentational one that would be aimed at historians).
As of January 2005, and thanks to a special funding by a partnership with, among others, UNESC0, eight experts will start consolidating the historical findings accumulated during the past 5 years. Also of importance is the fact that at this moment 24 persons and organizations are involved in the intricate process of (mutually) agreeing on the release of the details and the access to a series of source-documents. It is expected that this process be completed by the end of 2005.
Furthermore, the source-documents are obviously not in English language, and unless Stbalbach demonstrates that he is a qualified linguist as well, he is unqualified to assess the content of the source-documents (were they to be made available to him at this point in time.) We take this opportunity to indicate to Stbalbach that in the Medieval university article (of which he apparently is the author), he has omitted to do research on the university that effectively was Bologna's ancestor, namely the one founded in the year 425, in Constantinople, by Theodose II.
Whether in this Wikipedia article (and the related ones) Stbalbach maintains his "dispute" or not, is no longer of relevance to us, for history will demonstrate him to have been incorrrect in this present matter.
