replies: text: did you read the category description of the parent; specifically, that is says this is for heads of state or heads of government.

Cheers, --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 13:23, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Either the Prime minister is head of the government or the Queen is. If the Queen is not head of the government (after all it is her government) then why is in there a list of :Category:Queens consort‎ also under :Category:Spouses of national leaders? The problem one has here, is the difference between the formal constitution and the informal constitution of the UK what Baghot distinguishes  the Dignified (that part which is symbolic) and the Efficient (the way things actually work and get done). But however this is addressed the title :Category:Spouses of national leaders ought to be moved to either "Spouses of heads of state" or "Spouses of heads of government" as nation is ambiguous for example the prime minster of the UK is not a national leader as the state contains more than one nation. Even if there was only one nation calling a Prime Mister "leader" is a strange way to describe them. For example the first minister of Scotland may be leader of the Scottish national party, but does that make him leader of Scotland (probably not as the nation is divided over the issue of independence)? -- PBS (talk) 11:08, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The top-level category is simply a container category, and leader is just chosen as a simple catch-all word. If you want to rename that category, I suggest you bring it to CFD, but I don't think we need two separate categories (for spouses of heads of state and spouses of heads of government). Per Head_of_government, the UK prime minister is considered the head of government, and the Queen is considered the head of state. But I personally think the combined category is more useful.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 16:26, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Michael J. S. Dewar

message: This writer has a direct interest in the subject matter and thus someone else
should be involved. But do let me mention that the Zimmerman reference details the
contributions of Dewar and also of Evans. The Evans article reveals that all Evans presented was 
the 6-electron Hueckel case of a Diels-Alder. He had no Moebius (Dewar's "Anti-Hueckel") idea.
Thus the Zimmerman article documents the development of the M-H idea and Dewar's contributions
and Dewar's re-writing history, ascribing to Evans what Evans had not published. And Dewar's
changing claims with time. The reference is interesting reading if nothing else; it is below. The 
Tetrahedron Editor was a student of Dewar and asked that the article be less forthright. But the
article was accepted since it was accurate.

thread_title:  Untitled 

message: This article contradicts itself in the meaning of the suit.  It states in the intro that it stands for war, but later down it says that Spades is representative of the military class and Clubs is representative of agriculture.  To be honest, I think the former makes more sense, with Spades representing agriculture instead.nf utvol (talk) 23:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Quoting from an About.com article on the subject: "In French decks, the suits represent the four classes: Spades represent nobility, hearts stand for the clergy, diamonds represent merchants, and clubs are peasants." This seems to make considerably more sense to me than even the military / agriculture version. Would a games historian like to comment on this? Dcook32p (talk) 11:37, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure how valid these supposed representations are bearing in mind that French suits were a simplification of German suits in order to facilitate mass manufacture. So Diamonds were Bells, Spades were Leaves, Clubs were Acorns, and Hearts were retained as Hearts.

Template talk:Vancouver Whitecaps FC squad

message: For various reasons, the background is blue. The primary reason, and I can't seem to find the earlier discussion, was that it reflects the traditional team's home colours. The original Whitecaps wore a white home jersey and it had a dark blue background and the lettering was white on that. That was reflected in the division two (USL, USSF-D2 uniforms) and when this template was originally created, this colour scheme was carried forward. The other, less apparent reason, is that the shade of blue selected is so dark that if it is uses for the text with a white background, it appears to be black. The team's colours are blue and white. Currently, it's two shades of blue but historically, it was only one shade. While I understand that most team templates reflect the teams home jersey colours, it would be best not to do so with this template. If it is a written rule, then the lighter shade of blue should be used for the copy rather than the darker shade. As long as the third colours are not used in the infobox, I think we're fine. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:26, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Mickey Spillane (mobster)

message: I intend to change Mickey's birthdate based on a photo of his grave marker on his Find A Grave memorial.  The birthdate showing is 1934.  According to the edit history, the original article read "circum 1934", then "(1934-1977)", and finally "July 13, 1934-" lending false credibilty, was posted by user:JBAK, who has since been permanently blocked for possible "malicious sockpuppet vandalism", making it unlikely to verify his source of the birthyear.  The date of birth, July 13, seems correct.  At some point the year was changed to 1924, then back to 1934, but unless someone has good documentary evidence otherwise, 1933 would seem to be the correct year.

message: In the history section of the Kamagasaki-wiki page, the following claims are made:
Many Bōryokudan offices are located in Kamagasaki, and drug and weapons trafficking is thought to occur daily. Illegal gambling stores are often in business in broad daylight. A seemingly endless line of illegally parked cars extends along the national highway just across from the Nishinari police station. The police do not bother issuing tickets knowing that the fines will never be paid.
This seems a rather subjective, sensationalist view of daily life in Kamagasaki and it does not correspond with the image I have of daily life in Kamagasaki.
