Template talk:Campaignbox Operations on the Memphis & Charleston Railroad

message: One battle does not constitute a campaign.  Can more battles be incorporated into this campaignbox?  If not, perhaps this campaignbox should either be deleted or be absorbed by another campaignbox. Roy Al Blue 14:22, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A little history on the origins of these Campaign templates is in order.  They originally all came from following this list from the Civil War Sites Advisory Committee at the National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program, and as you can see, there are many on the list that have only one battle. It may be counter-intuitive, but a campaignbox with just one battle in it actually imparts value. It's important to understand what a Military campaign is and is not. It is not merely a list of battles. To over simplify, a campaign is strategic while a battle is tactical. A campaign can cover thousands of miles with zero, one, or few battles fought. It could be argued that the most successful campaign would achieve its goals with not a single battle fought and zero casualties on either side – but with the strategic aims of its planner fulfilled.  See Tudor Vladimirescu#Uprising. His campaign started in January 1821 and in May 1821 it was over with no battles fought, just an advance on, and occupation of Bucharest in March and two months rule. Then the retreat of Tudor's army in May, as the Ottomans occupied Bucharest without meeting resistance. That's still a campaign. These campaign lists were developed as they were for a reason, by professional historians, and changing them to be grouped, for example, geographically with other battles that are part of a different campaign, loses context and conflates campaigns which may have been carried out in different years and planned by different commanders. And having a campaignbox, even one with only one battle, also gives a  consistent appearance on every battle article that is part of the WP:MILHIST project. I believe that's part of the WP:MILHIST style guide, but I'm not 100% certain. A campaignbox with one battle still imparts information of the CWSAC campaign name (for example Template:Campaignbox Jackson's Operations Against the B&O Railroad) and also gives a starting point for an article on the campaign itself as in Streight's Raid and for adding minor battles and skirmishes not rated by the CWSAC such as Template:Campaignbox Mine Run Campaign where the minor engagement Battle of Charlestown was added at some point by an editor to join the CWSAC rated Battle of Mine Run.

What about the Black and White Minstrel Show circa 1975-1978? He was practically a co-presenter of the programme, alongside George Mitchell. Cuddles featured very prominently too.
I know this programme is not considered politically correct by today's standards, but it was a flagship BBC1 show in its day, and to omit this portion of Keith Harris's biography amounts to a very blatant rewriting of history. 217.155.20.163 01:26, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi. I cited this page in an article about workplace bullying, and wonder if anyone would mind if I were to cast my editing eye over this one. There's lots of good information here but some of it isn't quite technically correct - eg its the Protection FROM Harassment Act, not "Protection AGAINST". I know, a bit pedantic, but this is an encyclopedia!  My working knowledge is in employment matters, but I'm aware that one body of opinion says the PFHA was introduced as an anti stalking law - for use outside work. I therefore propose to clarify this at the opening paragraphs, and then put employment related applications under an "employment" heading. I have not sussed out the optimum approach yet, but would welcome opinions of anyone watching the article. Justdignity 16:59, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The more I look at the sections headed "preventing harassment" and "dealing with harassment", the more I become convinced that they cannot be rewritten in a way that complies with NOTHOWTO. There is no assertion that the particular procedure described is a legal obligation or that it is what employers normally do. It is not explained why it is specific to the United Kingdom and does not apply to other countries. The two sections are also unreferenced and may be original research. This stuff was added in 2006. I don't think it would be tolerated if added today. I think the best approach would be to blow them up and start again. James500 (talk) 05:27, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

message: Let's be frank here. Somebody changed "nigger" in the song title "White Nigger" to "neighbor", which the band have started using in recent live performances (obviously due to its less offensive nature). But at least in the track listing the name must be switched from "Neighbor" to "Nigger". This is of course how the song is titled in every physical and digital album copy that has been released since 1993. Now I tried to change the name back to its original form, but the Wiki filter blocked the change from occurring, and I was instructed to bring the error up here. So can we somehow restore the name back to its original form?
I assume everyone here is familiar with the track listing, but regardless, here is a source: https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Eyehategod/Take_as_Needed_for_Pain/4650 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whiteneighbor1993 (talk • contribs) 01:09, November 5, 2017 (UTC)
:I've thought about this since you reported the edit filter false positive, and it makes sense to change it to its original name.

message: I have been an avid cricket fan since 1950. There has never been a more intelligent  cricketer than Benaud. More to the point, he was a gentleman on and off the field. I had some "en passant" dealings with him as a little boy in Parramatta, he was even then a person of great decency. Great sportsmen (and women) must be evaluated by their behaviour as well as their performance. In my opinion, Benaud ranks up there with Garfield StA.

Talk:Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure

message: I've done some clean-up on this article.  Here are some explanations of my changes and motivations:
* Articles must be timeless.  Sentences cannot start with "Recently", or "Last year", or "The most recent conference was on...".  Remember that people might read this in 2009 or 2015, and the reader doesn't know if the article was written in 2009 or 2004, so times have to be absolute, not relative.
* Claims have to be referenced or at least reference-able.  "FFII is the leading organisation" is fine for FFII's homepage, but isn't good for an encyclopedia article.  "FFII is very active" and "FFII played an organisational role" are better because if someone wants a reference, then it's probably possible to find something to back these up.  For a "leading organisation", the article could say that FFII was acknowledged as the leading organisation on such a date by organisations X, Y, and Z - and add references.
* This article is about FFII, not about software patents in general.  Links should only be added if they explain what FFII is and does.  If there's a great link about why software patents suck, that should be addded to software patents debate or some such article.
Hope that helps. --Gronky (talk) 14:28, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
