Wikipedia talk:Don't use MySpace as a source

message: Do people use MySpace as a source? --Aristeo 17:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: More than you know. Especially on music articles. Crystallina 05:53, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I disagree that MySpace should never be used as a source.  It is not simply a networking site anymore - music artists and movies are beginning to push their official sites to the MySpace domain.  As an example, when the movie John Tucker Must Die was advertised on television, the website listed for more information was not www.johntuckermustdie.com, but rather www.myspace.com/johntucker.
So I suppose we ought to exercise extreme caution when using MySpace as a source, but there are sometimes where it is helpful, and still other times where it is necessary.  tiZom(2¢) 03:52, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, it's not yet clear whether or not his death is going to form a major story arc and thus whether or not he could still be considered "major" despite being dead.

replies: text: Agreed. Fixed it now. 192.43.227.18 06:58, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, on another point, this article seems to imply that the main purpose of the Formosa Resolution was the defence of Formosa (Taiwan) itself. The defence of Taiwan and the Pescadores was actually already covered in the earlier US-ROC Mutual Defense Treaty (December 1954, ratified in early 1955, and, I think, abrogated in about 1979); the main purpose of the Formosa Resolution, which was not a treaty but a congressional resolution, was to provide congressional endorsement of the President's pre-existing discretionary power to act in defence of territories not explicitly covered in that treaty but that he deemed necessary (again at his discretion) to a defence of the areas explicitly covered by the Mutual Defense Treaty. Thus the effect of the Formosa Resolution, and its meaning, was to endorse the President's authority to act in defence of the Offshore Islands, (particularly but not exclusively Quemoy and Matsu). 192.43.227.18 07:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Hinduism in Fiji

message: In the "Persecution" section, we currently have this phrase: "The difference in human rights has been a continuing source of conflict between "native" Fijians and Indo-Fijians, with native Fijians believing Fiji to be their ancestral land that only they can own, and Indo-Fijians demanding equal rights for all human beings." Now, it has this scholarly source attached to it: "John Kelly (1992), A Politics of Virtue: Hinduism, Sexuality, and Countercolonial Discourse in Fiji, University of Chicago Press, , pp. 1-39". All well and good, but source or no source, I don't think you can make sweeping generalizations about what all native Fijians believe. There are several hundred thousand indigenous Fijians. Short of interviewing all of them, and finding them all to be in agreement, you can't make a sweeping claim like that. Anyone have opinions? (Or even better, access to the source in question?)

Talk:Gluino

message: Perhaps the information on this page should be organized in a slightly more coherent manner? Dgiraffes (talk) 18:36, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Just heard on radio that "gluino was discovered at LHC".
The false "news" might come from Techtimes where they try to interpret the Dec 2015 CERN progress of CMS and ATLAS announcement
(which was later revised - 18 Dec 2015).
Apparently a confusion arouse combining together "new restrictions for the mass of the gluino" and statistically weak indication of "new particle being produced and decaying".
As I understand the LHC message, there is new knowledge about the gluino, but this is only "rectricions for the mass" (saying, not whether it is, or what it is like, but only what it is not like, and not saying how to produce it but only how it likely cannot be produced). And after Run 2 of experiments will be finished, we may hope for a new particle to be discovered (having around 750 gigaelectronvolts),
unless the bump in statistical graph shows to be just the usual random bump.
